i didnt say you were or i know you are, i said that i am a viable mislynch to you as scum. i am putting someone else at 3 votes with me (you), and i dont care if i die. the town is better off without me even if im not scum!

honestly, with two votes on you, i would expect you to explore the dry-fit wagon. i'm going to read you in iso and see if i can get anything out of that.

also, you say "you see me as scum because I'm voting you", when if I really didn't believe you would only do this as scum, I could easily keep my vote on Dry-Fit and have him as the largest wagon.

Couple his recent post saying he is swamped with tests, which I honestly believe, with your pushing a mislynch of a VI and yes, I'd say you could very easily be scum.

yeah, so i read you in iso, and you agree with me way more than you disagree with me. you find it "hard to read me", and are "unimpressed with 3 or 4 of my responses" if I recall. I'm unimpressed with you not voting Dry-Fit, honestly. If you were town, you wouldn't know his role, and would be able to bandwagon him very easily. The only logical explanation for you not voting him from my eyes is that you got a scum PM with him, especially considering this:
in response to benmage saying Dry-Fit is a good lynch you said "Not a fan. I wouldn't be upset if he was lynched."
yet you're not voting him,

anyways, the only explanation I can see is you scum with dry-fit.

bigger wagon on scum > smaller wagon on scum

Hey everyone, checking back into this game, Im just home from London. absolutly exhausted and sore... going to catch up later hopefully after I have some rest.

Lrdwhyt replaces Imkingdavid. Thanks Lrdwhyt!

Furcolow for trainwreck of the year

Doing a better read later.

Welcome new people.

I don't have much to say right now, kinda waiting on the new input as well as Dry-fit's when he gets some time.

dry-fits recentness, though appearing to be pro-town, is null

No, it's not. For the same reason it can't be written off as IIoA. If he would've just posted the statistics,

then you may have something.

As it stands, he made it a point to give analysis.

No worries, it was a genuine mistake. I think I saw IAI's post, but then I saw your vote and immediately I went back to the earlier IAI post (40) because I didn't remember him saying that the plan was scummy. When I confirmed it, I just moved on from that point and onto the next page to write my own post.

IAI 88 wrote:Do you know what else is a scum tell...voting for yourself.

This is a null tell. That's about the earliest I've ever seen anyone "give up" though. IAI, I think you should take a step back from this game a lurk for a day or two. Just read what other people say and come back to it after a while. You don't need to make a post every few hours, and you certainly don't have to beat yourself up over three votes. The people most unimpressed with you are among the most vocal, but that doesn't mean they make up the majority. This game has many weeks to go yet. Just calm down and roll with the punches, bud.

In other news, I don't have much to bring to the plate offensively at the moment. Elmo, Percy, Sotty, Oso... all making valid points and good posts. benmage is a little sloppy but, like IAI, I don't really see anything sinister about him.

on the bold: notice how benmage is using the word scummy as opposed to saying someone is scum. I know this is somewhat null, but I do that when I am scum. I hate lying. I dislike it. It's not my style. I'd rather say "Player A is scummy" than "Player A is scum" when I am mafia. When I am town, however, I have no idea who is scum and who isn't. My point is that I can say RedCoyote is scum, Percy is scum, or that Sotty7 is scum right now. I don't feel bad about it. I honestly don't believe the latter two to be scum, though Percy is really, really hard to read for me.

After the first bolded word, where benmage used "scummy", RedCoyote's response was basically, in my eyes, saying "no, ben, this isn't a valid mislynch". Which, to me, shows that he is a better player than BenMage and is potentially coaching here. The thing is, though, he could be coaching a townie. Benmage using the word scummy is actually pretty null. RC could be buddying town, and given his first couple of posts combined into a FoS into a vote in post 3, I'm going to leave BM off my scumlist for the moment, but keep RC there.

RedCoyote wrote:I don't particularly have a problem with it; Oso made a valid argument, even if it was wrong. I also see your point against it though, Elmo.

I don't agree with either of y'all though.

I have no idea what you're talking about here. No, I may not have been as verbal about Dry-fit (mostly because I've been working my ass off to both sell this jason lynch and defend myself in the process), but in no way can you stretch that post to his defense.

I've not been particularly satisfied with Dry-fit

, and I

won't cry

if he gets lynched either. Then again,

I can think of at least 7 people who I'd be happy to have strung up

italicized: he's not SATISFIED with dry-fit... on his scumteam?
underlined: him not crying... over a player lynched? why would he want to cry at all? i dont get the thought process of even having to say that. if you don't care if he's lynched, say it that way. i don't give a fuck if dry-fit is lynched, because i don't know his alignment. why are you "not satisfied" with him to the point you're TOTALLY not going to cry?

Percy wrote:I haven't voted you because I've had trouble locating the scum motivation - lying when you don't have to is a pretty scummy thing to do, but it could (have been) just be an overdefensive playstyle thing.

You haven't voted me, because you know I'm town. You know I'm town, because I wasn't listed as one of your scum teammates in your role pm. You also didn't vote me because you know the likelyhood of getting me lynched is basically a big ole zero. However you've created this carefully asserted "lie" concoction in a subtly way to perhaps use in future case building, or to undermine my town authority.

Otherwise what took you so long to Lynch all Liars?

What scum motivations would there be behind that kind of lie?

You really think its so farfetched that I could forget something like this? But find it so much easier to accept that I'd lie over this....to save face?

I don't know why IAI is a townread for you, especially given how you started this day out. Also your scum-by-wiki version of scumhunting surely means IAI is scum with that self-voting business, only scum self vote right?

Pointing out tons of scummy actions causeing him to implode in a manner that I have seen beginner town players do. Checks for me.

I don't know what "scum-by-wiki" scumhunting is...so feel free to explain, or carry on making up random false tangents.


Let’s break this down again Percy. You find it unfathomable that I could forget an abnormal aspect to this game. Yet do not care when these two people also say they forgot aspects of the game. Moreover you write off a misread by Jason as not being as bad as forgetting something. How does one read this game and not know it mountainous is beyond me, yet all good in your book. Like I said, you sought to assert a “lie” onto me to undermine my town authority.

Benmage 264 wrote:What is quite telling?

jason said that Nikanor was lying about him because he's not scum and votes him. A couple of minutes later he says, "i see above he is lying" refering to Nikanor admitting the obvious fact that there is no Cop in the game. As Elmo pointed out, there was no need for the second post. The second post shows jason's first post to be a complete sham. The first post is just a forced reaction.

In other words, it's like the second Nikanor says he's a Cop with a guilty on jason, jason reacts with a revote and a protest without so much as thinking about it. He has to because he's scum. If he would've taken two seconds to think about it, as I think a townjason would have, he would've realized it was just a dumb joke.

I don't see this as damning as you are suggesting. I see the first reaction as a town noob exploding when being lied about.

I Am Innocent wrote: Then you got Ben who as RC pointed out, is trying to cut off the Furc wagon before it gets started.

You're damn right. Too many directions for L1. I am being the only town person here trying to put a lynch who most people have said they're willing to lynch. Seeing as we have 2 today those of you who feel more strongly elsewhere can pursue those options for our #2 lynch. I want the #2 lynch to have ample time. So yes, not voting Furc now, give you more time to campaign a furc wagon later if thats truly what you want.

Seee meeee town.

You are all over the place.

Furc, meet context. Referring to ones actions would sound weird to give them such personification as “scum”. Rather you attribute the actions as reflections of the person thus using the term “scummy” was used to describe the filler posting of a person at the time believed to be scum.

And despite this specific out of context misread saying someone is scummy or scum would be null in my book.

First item of business: UNVOTE:

Dry-fit (6) <- Oso, Locke Lamora, Benmage, KaleiÐoscøpe, Sotty7, Furcolow
Furcolow (3) <- JasonT1981, I Am Innocent, RedCoyote
Jasont1981 (2) <- Nikanor, Dry-fit
Redcoyote (2) <- Mina, Elmo
Benmage <- Percy

Not Voting: Baby Spice, Lrdwhyt
With 16 alive, it's 9 to lynch.


Muh. On reflection, I don't really buy into jason's 'slip', though I go back and forth; but it follows that I dislike the way Dry-fit jumped on it. Also, both Red and Dry-fit were voting for jason.. maybe it's too early to do anything associative. I wish we had more than seven posts from him, but I'm more inclined to kill him given that.

I think we kinda need to kill someone soon. VOTE: Dry-fit

Alright. I finally finished reading the thread..

On jasonT1981
Don't believe there's anyone still voting him for the alleged scumslip, but when I read his post, it was pretty clear to me the first time what he meant. Attacking him for poor word choice alone is dumb...though I did find him to be scummy early on when I read through the thread.

jasonT1981 wrote:you know, this stat talk is really getting away from the actual objective of finding and lynching scum. I would suspect scum would be happy to drag discussion away from scum hunting in anyway possible maybe even perhaps lead the discussion away.....

Seems like an attempt to cast suspicion on I Am Innocent without outright stating it. Sneaky.

jasonT1981 wrote:right now I believe I am Innocent could be scum... I'm happy with my vote on him.

he is pushing figures which distract from scum hunting

refusing to vote something he finds scummy because it is only 2nd page

pushing a false load on you to try and discredit you (Sotty)

his post 72 doesnt add up.. he calls you smart but in the same post says your logic doesnt add up.

He has posted at least 4 times out of ten posts and most seem almost gloating that the odds favor scum... almost like a scum hidden gloat post after hitting a cop or doc in the night

Sotty, can you expalin your last bit of your post please for those of us not in the know of Red?

Sotty7 wrote: The Red thing is probably null... But is

Red so I dunno. I'm kinda waiting to see what he does next before deciding.

you Italic seems to suggest you are familar with his playstyle.. I have never played with him so am curious to know what you mean.

2 is twisting his words. He didn't say he didn't want to vote someone he found scummy on day 2. He said that he didn't want to vote someone for what was probably poor play on day 2.

4 is a weak argument and doesn't make sense. IAI was saying that because Sotty was smart, she shouldn't have flawed logic, and suspected her for it.

5 is just stupid. That's the way the statistics are. Would you rather he lie?

jasonT1981 wrote:you know Sotty, maybe we should try something different

unvote
vote:Elmo

Hes been very quick to defend people who look scummy, seems to know something we don't add to that his post in #81.. it looks like he is seriously buddying IAI

After making so many points against IAI, why are you so fast to switch?

After that, nothing of his struck me as particularly scummy. There are better votes than him.

I'm considering voting Dry, but I want to see him post some more first...

No matter how many times I read jason's post, it still looks like a slip. And his explanations have not been satisfactoryto me. What am I supposed to do?

At this point Furcolow's play has become so bizarre I think it's best to ignore it.

Other suspects include IKD, even though he's replacing out now. His attack on Benmage was weak, and everything else he's said was noncommital.

I wouldn't be surprised is there are scum on my wagon right now. The main reason people are voting for me is because they don't like how I bandwaggoned jason. There's no more to it than that. I don't think K-scope even gave a reason for voting me, is that how he normally plays?

Lrdwhyt wrote:I'm considering voting Dry, but I want to see him post some more first...

Benmage #9 wrote: That said...D1 should only have 1 lynch. Not 100% on the mechanics of this double lynch, but I guess we can no lynch for one of the lynches and than perform a standard lynch.

and lo we have scum.

Anyone who wants to take the town from a situatuion where the scum can (effectively) only NK and night talk every other night back to every night must be scum. Throw away our biggest advantage, hah.

and #13 backtracks.

Percy #16 wrote:ITT: Scum explain how happy they are that they're not scum.

#37 #57 I am Innocent(5) : Oso, Sotty, Jason, Benmage, Elmo.

That's a hell of a wagon for RVS, and everyone following such a stupid reason to vote. (Ok, a reasonable RVS reason but not to 5 votes) (6 if you count Furcolow) Definately something hinky here and I dare say, There's scum on that there wagon!

lol, #41 Benmage calls IaI scum for showing why Ben's scummy idea was wrong, although Ben doesn't say it directly. Way to go Benscum. That's the second time you quote Dry-fit btw.

Benmage #42 wrote:

I am Innocent wrote:Was the information I provided helpful to the town? Was it hurtful to the mafia?

It was null. It was filler. Therefore it was scummy and not helpful for the town.

The correct answer was yes showing a scummy plan is scummy is helpful to town and yes it was hurtful to the mafia.

Don't understand Percy's #52 and RedCoyote's #55 sotty votes. Sotty asked a reasonable question. Nice to see Oso and Locke agree

What made you come to that conclusion based on that quoted statement? I would think scum have day talk.

?? Open setup, mod only refers to night talk. Why would you think that the scum have daytalk?

Nikanor's comment is hinky but so is yours.
Though since it's mentioned, requirements makes it sound like the scum team have to do somerthing re night talk.

Elmo #69 comes to Ben's defense for some reason, and votes the most obvtown person to this point
Hinky Elmo.

Bottom page 3. Benscum, hinky posts, and lurkers galore.

Page 4. Elmo == town and IaI == Vi as it's only drunks and VI's who tend to vote for themselves (ignoring the rare quick hammerer)

Hmm, Jason's #98. Blatant buddy on Sotty and a vote on town that includes buddying as a reason.

Reasonless votes on Nikanor are bad. The reason should have been stated.

The day cop thing was an obvious joke in a pr-less game, so why did you take it so seriously and respond like this? Hell, it's almost like you're trying to soft claim a pr or panic claim that you're not mafia.
Furc yeah, he has history of not reading rules/set-ups so I can understand him buying it.
I don't know whether Nik is just dumb for making such a joke at that point, scum trying to avoid posting content, or flaming brilliant/lucky with an amazing/lucky stunt.


#149 doesn't look good for you Jason. How would a cop know what your role is? Cop would only know your alignment. Yet you go on and on about now realising that it's a mountainous game. Are you trying to cover up your aparent soft claim of a role in a previous post?

The first two posts I can understand, claim the absence then spend a bit of time catching up whatever. But that third post just smacks of you monitoring the thread and deciding to make comment.
Faking a V/LA is a scum tell, as it's a form of active lurking, and that sounds like what you were doing.
Trying to mis-rep a scum tell as a town tell, along with the insult, just makes it worse by a long way.

Still have sixish pages to catch up on, but Ben's response here makes me certain.

Can you please in the meantime continue to look for players with more site experience. Baby Spice doesn't even know what LA means.

Typical scummy defense there Ben. No defending your scummy actions, just throwing insults.
About what I expect from you.

There is nothing to defend from. You don't understand the concept of limited access. You are either:

A) A Villiage Idiot
or
B) A Noob

There is nothing wrong with the latter. We all start there. This game, however, has specifically asked for experienced players.

Why would you fake V/LA specifically for the purposes of (active) lurking and then not do that?
