I'm not the head who made the observation out loud, but in many games players are familiar enough with each other to know who are likely lynchbait, who are bus-candidates if they are scum, etc. One of the places I look for scum is on the "easy lynch" wagons.

Why do you think scum would be found on the easy lynch wagon? When I think of people who would be targetted for easy lynches, I think of new players who have no idea what they're doing but are trying to keep up with people posting text walls, so they rack their brains and end up with bs, which gets them targetted pretty easily. Not that new players can't be scum, but I think new player scum tend to be quiet and stay under the radar and try to get as little attention as possible.

Which is why I think we need to pay attention to Aronis, and also to Mafiassk for saying we should leave him alone just because he's new, because if Aronis is scum, that's exactly what we should do if we want to let him keep slipping and scumming along

Have you never played with Orcinus before?

Oh you're Ffery and Orc!

He modded some Skype games for me last semester! Played with him a few times on Skype before last semester too. <3

Never played with him on the forums, as at the time I replaced into 246 Chosen, Mara and Orc's hydra had already been modkilled!

I think we may be laboring under different ideas about what an easy lynch is.

So Bert, you done catching up?

No, but I will tonight. Do you have a reasonable idea of what to expect from me now that Mini 1523 is over and in the past? This applies to muffin and you in particular, that and you being in the completed Ace Attorney game as well.

this feels like Mini 1522 AA redux with Cabd, Ffery, me, Muffin, Nat-mod, SSK. <3

What the hell happened to this game?

My arrival was repulsive.

In post 60, Cabd wrote:Lol. Look at the player list, SSK. Then tell me that if ffery and I tag teamed you, you wouldn't be an easy lynch.

Cabd's right.

In post 97, MafiaSSK wrote:Well, I mean, if you mean the 8 or so hours I sleep, then that could be considered lurking, but this game, no lurking otherwise.

Weird wording sounds nervous.

One can plot it as a function of

You are so...logical...and that's it!

It hurts the town worse in my estimation. 13 players,, probably 3 or 4 scum. The burden falls on us as the town to make a decisive lynch, otherwise, we're basically asking natirasha to kill us herself...If, for example, we do not have a majority by the end of this dp, 9/14 times, a townie will be killed (assuming 4 scum).

Uhh.......that's confusing!

In post 231, MafiaSSK wrote:Sorry, was busy updating my wiki page. That thing hasn't been updated since I left back in 2010.

It's not nothing.

But yeah. I think you've convinced me for the Muffin wagon.

You have played with Muffin before in the past in VisCon 1523 though, so Orc's reason of "Muffin came in and dropped a few scumreads without reasoning, and also is lurky" isn't a scumtell per se?

This post sounds really scummy and out of place in the middle

In post 261, Idiotking wrote:Because nothing is more useless than a sheep.

that's a bad reason to vote SSK. I'm a sheep too. He's not lonely. Also, I didn't read your walls cuz the post numbers were there without links

In post 270, MafiaSSK wrote:I think you are so ridiculously stuck in the basic conceptions of mafia theory that you shouldn't even be in this game.

Let's shred this post to pieces

dang everyone look at 270, SSK just walled it up in full huge paragraphs. I didn't read it, but dang I've never seen anything like that. Where did this SSK come from?

Ooh, you sir have a style that sticks out here as in very different. Hmm!

EBWOP: I was thinking of doing something differently here and picking someone and making up reasons that make little sense to elicit reactions from that certain someone (anyone in this game, randomly) and trying to get random gut reads on everyone slowly that way...but that'd look really out of character for me so I decided not to. I will revert to the status quo for this game until I'm more comfortable doing something else (either way I'll be useless, so doesn't matter really!)

Not feeling so hot this evening, off tomorrow, posting then.

In post 259, MafiaSSK wrote:I check the flow of logic, see if it makes sense. If it doesn't then I question. If it does, then I weigh it against the reasoning for my current vote. Whichever comes out stronger wins. And when it wins, if I can think of any other reasons why that person can be scum, then I'll often state it along with the vote.

Your clarity here surprises me in this game.

In post 261, Idiotking wrote:If I missed anything important, feel free to tell me. My patience for rooting through a lot of pointless banter was kinda low.

Your boredom in going through this game and trying to sort through the posts looks legitimate. You went way past expectations in the recap though while "sorting your brain out." Almost to the point of being really showy.

In post 270, MafiaSSK wrote:Your vote is based off a large base of inconsistencies and I sincerely hope you reconsider it.

Yeah, something's going on with you because you're being touchy-feely in statements like this too.

In post 203, Aronis wrote:Seems like a decent vote, either him, Selkies, or Katsuki. They seem the most likely tk be scum. Do you have a better idea?

I don't see what the intent is in making this post and asking if he/she has a better idea.

In post 222, Cabd wrote:The tenacity of your read and or push on him is actually giving me confusion and off notes to the tune of "Let's do exactly the opposite of what we did as scum in 1531" so nope. I can't believe I have to tell YOUR HYDRA, of all things, that I'll vote when I'm damn well ready.

I don't know Orc outside of Skype, any tips on reading his play

I don't know if you're just really naturally curious about setups and stuff, otherwise why are you bringing this up?

In post 146, FourTrouble wrote:That said, I do remember your "chaotic" style and I remember liking it, but it felt much more purposeful back then. I think that's the difference I'm noting here.

So exceedingly friendly...

In post 162, Selkies wrote:because i actually agree with katsuki's sentiments towards rule 6 and I don't think it's scummy in and of itself.

also muffin is actually here and i assume he wants to talk to me!

you approach muffin by voting him and then talking? hmm.

Ok.......

In post 186, FourTrouble wrote:Sure, but zMuffin is here (or was a second ago) and Katsuki isn't. I'm not gonna just let my vote sit on someone, waiting for shit to happen.

don't like where this explanation seems to come from. not buying it

OK so I must be missing something since Muffin didn't seem that scummy and hasn't really put his stamp on this game. is this some kind of wagon to wake him up, or is this serious??

In post 311, Cabd wrote:Not feeling so hot this evening, off tomorrow, posting then.

feel better soon, Mr. Every Breath You Take

We have 90 posts in this game, bert. I am shocked that the only post that made it into your readthrough was us reaching out to muffin.

Incidentally, what kind of stamp should we see muffin putting on the game?

In post 286, zMuffinMan wrote:oh you mean in my post? does this mean you think katsuki is town?

It does not mean that I think katsuki is town

I have not expressed or implied what I think of katsuki's alignment anywhere.

Is there a reason that you are trying to suggest that I have?

This is pretty much what he did in my past VisCon 1523, with regard to muffin. His reads were actually pretty solid in that game.

I kinda lost interest because the quantity was so large. In most of the game, it felt like it was mostly 3-4 players talking while a few chimed in every once in a long while.

That, and most of your posts seemed to be you quoting a big quote and making a one-liner comment. I really don't have much to say here. <3

EBWOP: I mean the gut reads, unless you're saying something else about him is scummy, of which I would respond with the fact that I don't know what to look for in him as scum. Never seen him as scum. I read him as scum for the entirety of 1523, as he failed to explain things and also thought everything I did was extremely scummy no matter what I tried. Also, sometimes he did not make sense at all. I roleblocked him twice in that game at night thinking he was scum.

Lastly, I don't know your hydra partner's style, unless Skype Mafia counts!

I don't know how irked I should be about your treatment of muffin. You don't have meta with him aside from one town game, and yet you say stuff that hedges on defense like "aww why'd you vote muffin man?? he's the muffin man". What's your read on muffin right now, null or town?

Who do you think we should be looking at today (aside from fourtrouble)?

Talk to me about Aronis.

Also, I'm assuming that you think you're talking to fery. You're not.

why are you buddying me so hard, bert?

and my D1 reads were shit in 1523. they *happened* to improve a little later in the game.

hahaha, you are scum, aren't you?

you are not very good at this game are you :/

Selkies, if we're laboring under different ideas, could you just explain to me simply what you mean?

And Bert, I haven't played mafia in a few years, so anything out of the norm is probably just me resharpening my rusty tools. That's also the reason why everyone seems to know each other already except for me.

In post 320, zMuffinMan wrote:why are you buddying me so hard, bert?

Oops, I'll work on that. Hey guys, Muffin is scum and I'm not buddying him! He's obvscum. Let's lynch him!
