If I'm understanding you correctly (which I may not be, because I'm currently Asiam-girl-drunk trying to cope with getting old), you're saying that the vote change there is a scummy unforced error, but that newbies are prone to doing that kind of thing?
I was trying to ask if you thought that Gibus, as scum, would post the vote acknowledging that the sheep vote appears scummy.
Yes, the acknowledgement that it looks scummy is exactly the sort of lampshading I expect from newer players, so I don't consider it a point in his favor because the wisdom to "say less" here as scum is something that comes with experience.
Funny how that movie, which wasn't that good, has permeated the culture.
Can you explain what you mean by this? Is this the same as my "Bloody Mary" pattern, or something different.
I can't quote correctly today. I'm just going to give up for awhile. This is the post I meant to quote.

That comment was a little harsh. It was slightly better than not that good.

I'm glad you clarified because I thought you were referring to my lampshade reference and I was wondering what definitive film source you could possibly be referring to.

This seems like a pretty good case on Osuka. I could go BBMolla today. Or maybe Dunnstral/Lillith. I need to look at this Tuxedo/copykat thing a little closer but that seemed to be more early game. I'm not so much for a Blair/Freddie hook today.
The case was on CopyKat, right? That's Tuxedo
Osuka was Ironcat

What does Bloody Marying/Beetlejuicing mean? Like you say their name and they appear, but how does that relate to game theory?
okay boys where we at, I'm pretty confident in that Lillith/Dunn slot being scum, unsure of the other
theres 1 scum in Nauci-Gibus. I'm not too sure which - who do you like and I'll go with ya?
they're both town though
why do you say this friendo
you think no scum on the Day 1 mislynch? unlikely!
I've seen it enough that it's not unlikely in my mind ftr

Typically I think scum are more likely to attack something like that so suddenly and aggressively.

I think this is L-2
disgusting vote

The idea is that it isn't inherently scummy to be inactive, but when you're inactive but still show up immediately whenever your name is brought up... you aren't authentically inactive (because you've been reading along often enough to always respond quickly to direct accusations).
I wouldn't characterize it as a "tell," but it indicates you are putting forward a facade ("I'm too busy to babysit the thread") while silently monitoring the thread.
Molla, what are your thoughts on Gibus, and why was FormerFish town for you?

Gibus is town
FormerFish's play here is far different from Team Mafia scumplay
In post 1840, Aloratom wrote:So what's the argument for Dunnstral (lilith) being scum?
Few things off of the top of my head
-Beetlejuicing on Day 1
-under reacting to Formerfish on Day 1
-mostly IIOA commentary on the fiasco on day 2 instead of specific evolution of her reads on Day 2
-I never trust Dunnstral
I liked her posts on day 1, but they kind of only happened when several people would mention her, so I had her as null then, but I felt like she took the opportunity on day 2 of the drama to mostly rehash stuff instead of give reads, even if they were very helpful posts.
What does under reacting to FormerFish mean?
Beetlejuicing: whatever, she wasn't scum and she's an experienced player anyway
IIOA commentary: I think her posting day 2 is very good and she puts forward reads in that.

Hi, not able to hop on a computer today and only doing a little posting via mobile because we are going to drive and stay somewhere else tonight
The protests in my neighborhood were getting violent and a ton of stores were being looted and police were deploying tear gas and had helicopters everywhere

Why is this game dead? There's no reason for everyone else here to not be posting!
We're on our way back home rn and I'll be writing up thoughts in a few hours.

Not a lot of investment on my end, I'm kind of waiting for other people to post thoughts for me to react to

VOTE: imironcat
that's very scummy VOTE: freddiethelady
osuka's initial post unvoted and said "lemme get caught up." shortly thereafter, without being caught up, he drops another vote. this scumread developed really fast, and hasnt been remotely re-evaluated. in fact, anyone who defends freddie or questions osuka is scum in osuka's mind.
In post 212, Formerfish wrote:Replacement is a good suspect due to the whole issue of newbies replacing out of scum rolls in their first games.
ouch
this is disgusting
no it isnt. thats statistically true. interesting that FF and osu start shading each other. throughout the game they shade each other, but never vote or want pressure. seems like scum theater. more on this story at 11!

Here you talk about yourself being killed tonight based off a random read from RVS within the first 10 pages.
Thats a lot of whatfuckingifs to check off to hit on the head. Hence why I mentioned that the idea that you would be the night kill as a puzzler.
Youre the person who thinks everyone is scum at first and we have to prove to you somehow that we arent, right?
Wasn't just talking about self but anyways.
It's easy to kill anyone who's town and I might be one of them. Mafia might either NK those who they might consider having a good lead or those who were accused by another town to set them up.
In this case, I used myself as an example for easy talking.
Not asking anyone to prove me personally that I'm not scum. Just talking about my process of elimination.
Also, you seem to be taking a lot of things personally - hence projecting them onto me.
fucking christ, I'd vote this if I weren't on this slot
wait what happened to that townread? (spoiler, the self-townread comes back later...)

at no point did you defend wave, and in fact there were a few posts where you called wave out. you said you needed to evaluate the slot and sort it, but never did. this post is as a result really bad. trying to get towncred post-flip when you never defended the slot prior to this.
In post 1176, osuka wrote:Lilith could be scum but that’s a quick thought without anything concrete behind it. I’ll have to iso
this never happened either. you keep promising work, but haven't done anything to sort any slots except freddie (and me by association, and now apparently tuxedo for having the audacity not to sheep you).
In post 1190, osuka wrote:you were a very solid townread of mine but the way you handled the lynch and what youve said since you hammered is very very offputting
again, FF is scummy, but am i going to pressure the slot? no. im gonna keep calling FF out but then maintain a solid townread.
In post 1214, osuka wrote:scumteam is { freddie, 1{ lil, nausi, gibus } }
ive solved the game and youre all welcome
so basically your solve involves everyone except you and FF. and this was pre-flip, yet youre acting like wave already flipped town.
In post 1354, osuka wrote:if freddie flips town, however remote that possibility, votato should be powerlynched the following day barring only the literal apocalypse
i can understand poor decision making in light of judgment day
yes, i should be lynched for being right. makes sense. also, for the record, your solve at this point is me and freddie. you think we are scum partners. so if freddie flips scum, you want to lynch me for being scum. but now if freddie flips town you still want to lynch me. thats what tuxedo is saying. and tuxedo is right.
In post 1368, osuka wrote:that's a scum slip if ive ever seen one. in fact, I will bet that scum team is { tuxedo, { freddie, votato } } - the second member of which depends on the votato-freddie dynamic i explained earlier
this solve is based on freddie!scum, which is a bad read. then theres me!scum for townreading freddie. and now tuxedo is even more scum for the crime of questioning you.
tl;dr: osuka decided in post four of the iso that freddie was scum. since then theres been no effort to sort anyone else, other than me and now tuxedo for defending freddie, and FF as town for attacking freddie, despite pointing out a lot of scummy posts from FF. interestingly, despite saying theres a lot of scummy posts from FF, osuka never pushes at FF. looks like distancing.
Forget 1847. This is what I meant to quote.
This seems like a pretty good case on Osuka. I could go BBMolla today. Or maybe Dunnstral/Lillith. I need to look at this Tuxedo/copykat thing a little closer but that seemed to be more early game. I'm not so much for a Blair/Freddie hook today.
