Do you think his play here is very similar to his play in that game of Jason's where he was scum? I've had him in my maybe-town-but-not-totally-sure category so far.
https://forum.mafiascum-staging.net/
His posting style reads as very freeform--train of thought is right there. I have no idea if he's capable of faking that. With a relatively new player, first thought is not. The content isn't very useful, but he doesn't seem to be censoring himself at all. I'm not interested in lynching him today.In post 1326, Rubicon wrote:By the way, Dante avoided the question when I asked him what he thought of you. What do you think of Dante?
1. Sounds like your saying you trust MS more than me while offering five random games meta as a token. DNC. I've never played with MS or you, or anyone else on this board before so really don't care what his meta is or what you think of mine.In post 1312, Rubicon wrote:This is what I love about lynching you. You're doing all those things too, but you don't have an established meta of acting stupid as town. Anyone can pull up 5 random metal sonic games and see him acting exactly like he is here. Consequently I'm a little puzzled at the level of apathy people are displaying, calling him "bubbly bubbly scum" or whatever and not paying any attention to the elephant in the room.In post 1308, Dante wrote:Have no idea why MS is acting disinterested. He didn't look to scum hunt...comes across as scum...
I don't know what you mean by this. Elaborate.In post 1308, Dante wrote:personally didn't like the Desperado versus TheIrishPope trains. Way better to force more action...see who latches on to whom...
To be honest this is an excellent reason to lynch you. I've already noticed about three different relational tells with you and a few other people.In post 1308, Dante wrote:in this case I've noticed you've defended MS...always good to see...players pushing trains and defending others...better than waiting for the deadline and we get no information.
I tossed those names out there because it occurred to me that one or more of them was probably your buddy. I wanted to see how you'd respond. You responded byIn post 1308, Dante wrote:Do you have a case on the others or are you just fishing?nottelling me what you thought of them, avoiding the question and deflecting it back at me.
So guaranteed scum is one of Varsoon, Psyche, Desperado, TSO, Tiphaine, Eddie and NS.
That's interesting. Why not? If Metal Sonic plays this way as town, doesn't that change your impression of him?In post 1328, Dante wrote:1.

Okay, I'll give you that.In post 1328, Dante wrote:2. Elaboration: Did you even read the thread at the start of this day? If not, recommend you go back and do so now. Desperado and TheIrishPope pointing fingers at each other. We could have easily stayed on that path all day and lynched one. I chose to look elsewhere cause I'm still wondering if there is another game mechanic that could explain what happened here.
I think TIP's probably town and telling the truth, Desperado I'm not sure about.In post 1328, Dante wrote:Do you have an opinion?

Do you agree with boxxy that there's probably scum on the Zoidberg wagon? What do you think about what TD is saying?In post 1328, Dante wrote:4.

TD's play actually does remind me of his D4 play in the game I mentioned.In post 1327, penguin_alien wrote:His posting style reads as very freeform--train of thought is right there.

I don't see it, myself.
In post 1327, penguin_alien wrote:TD, I've only seen as scum: SK in 2.5 mash-up, Mafia in Mainstream. I didn't catch onto him in either place. I was asking because you're claiming PGO, he's claiming he targeted you and isn't dead, I'd think you'd have an opinion on that. He doesn't remind me of past scum play per se, and his interactions seem towny.
How come? Please be specific.In post 1332, boxxy wrote:The fact that Tiphaine targetted Rubi and didn't die is very unsettling. I guess it could explain TIPs tracking result, but it still doesn't sit well and I'm not inclined to believe either of them at this point.
I kind of agree about Eddie and T S O, but this looks like an excuse for you to avoid talking about the other players in the game who weren't on that wagon. Especially since this is multiball - was there in fact scum on that wagon, just notIn post 1332, boxxy wrote:There's no way in hell it was all town on the zoidberg wagon.
Dante avoided the question when I asked him about you. I also asked you what you thought of him, maybe you missed it. Please answer.In post 1332, boxxy wrote:Down to 7/14 alive, we should lynch one of these.
Why is Desperado town? If you're doing POE and wagon analysis, why are you scratching off null reads? That doesn't make any sense.In post 1332, boxxy wrote:Desperado is obv town. Eddie reads pretty null right now so I'll cross him off for now.
I'm just gonna say this is probably bullshit.In post 1332, boxxy wrote:I could see a Varsoon/Psyche scum team trying to set up Varsoon as miller (miller 2 shot neighbourizer? What a joke). He successfully "neighbourized" Psyche so they can communicate off thread now.
Do you have some reason to think scum has day talk?In post 1332, boxxy wrote:That would be real easy to fake if scum has day-talk seeing as Varsoon is conveniently out of shots now being so called 2-shot.
I love your attempt at fencesitting here, especially when the rest of your post amounts to wishy washy POE and concludes by voting to lynch obvtown.In post 1332, boxxy wrote:NS has been cruising along since day 1. He checked out day 1 because "day 1 sucks I'm better at future days." But so far he's still just cruised along pushing a wagon here and there without doing too much analysis or work. Could just be his playstyle but it could also just be scum trying to stay under the radar.
At the beginning of your post you say you don't believe TiphaineDeath. Therefore he's scum, right? Why the switch?In post 1332, boxxy wrote:Tiphaine, I don't like that he got away with targetting Rubicon and living, but like I already said it could be the same weirdness that showed up in TIPs tracking report. Not sure what's going on there. So overall I guess he's null but I get an uneasy vibe from him.
Okay. What is your read on Dante, though?In post 1335, TheIrishPope wrote:TIP is most definitely Town
In post 1309, TiphaineDeath wrote:One of the two people I tried to "target" was rubicon. I though he was scum faking PGO and targeting him would either kill him or disrupt some high powered action. I didn't ask monkey a god damned thing except to make sure I was supposed to be alive and whether I targeted rubicon. He told me I was supposed to be alive and I did not target rubicon. My role specifically states that I have two targets, but one of them isn't a target according to monkey.... this game is fucked up. Good night.
Hmm. At the risk of role-fishing here, what other roles besides Bus Driver target two people on the same night? Moreover, what kind of role is different enough from Bus Driver for you to not counter-claim Desperado? How is it not unbalanced for both of you to be in the same game?In post 1330, TiphaineDeath wrote:Let me clarify that, I tried to target him. I did something that intuitively should have targeted him, and didn't die. However when I asked monkey about this odd occurrence he told me:
A) I am supposed to be alive.
B) I did not technically "target" rubicon.
So you think Tiphaine and Pope are both lying? Why not pressure them more then?In post 1332, boxxy wrote:The fact that Tiphaine targetted Rubi and didn't die is very unsettling.

Why is Eddie's coasting play Null at the moment when it was scummy enough for you to suspect him in 921 and 952?In post 1332, boxxy wrote:Eddie reads pretty null right now so I'll cross him off for now.
How is this different from what Eddie has been doing? Why cross Eddie off your list but not NS?In post 1332, boxxy wrote:NS has been cruising along since day 1.

How would that confirm Psyche as Town? There's nothing stopping a Neighborizer from adding a Scum player to his neighborhood.In post 1332, boxxy wrote:Additionally we should policy lynch Miller at some point, and if he does flip neighbourizer then that will confirm Psyche as town.
How would that classify as a policy lynch? And why tomorrow? Why not today? You may be convinced that Desperado is Scum, but let's be real here -- the chances of him being lynched today are slim at best.
1. I don't trust your meta read...in a game based upon deception would you expect anything else? I make reads based upon game play in front of me...he's placed lazy scum votes...with little commentary to hold him accountable later...just flippant...I'd thought he might some commentary after a little pressure but instead he finds a soft spot to park his vote and lurk as long as he can...see zero reason to keep him around at this point.In post 1333, Rubicon wrote:That's interesting.

You're really going to have to explain this more. I'm NOT rolefishing, I'm trying to make some sense out of this fucking game.
