Implosion: if the doc can protect against poison, when should the doc claim it does/does not?

Once someone has had the doctor and it's been a few days since they had it, they could say so. Or if we ever massclaim what abilities exist in the game.

Got prodded.
Keeping up with the thread, but anything I would say, has been said already.

I'm a little more confidence that Fourseen will flip town. ML has been protecting Fourseen a little too hard. Enough to gain some crediability in the game with his reads on a claimed "bad player" when they flip town.

You think fourseen is town and then vote me over the fact I've been calling him town? Hell, you probably got the idea he was town from me. And can you explain what you mean by saying;

a claimed "bad player"

What do you mean by this?

What are your thoughts on nopointactingup and warrior?

MoI 315 wrote:Nice deflection.

You basically chose to comment on Stringer and said effectively “He’s sort of scummy but I’m not sure if he should be voted”. You’ve just laid the groundwork to go either way on him depending on the wagon and to have an out if he ever flips.

Town doesn’t have reason to lay ‘escape hatches’ like that.

Great catch, MoI. Workdawg has been slipping beneath my radar a little bit, but this paints him in a negative light.

MoI 315 wrote:I don’t see that at all.

Fair enough, but I see it as a reasonable possibility that is certainly worth the pressure he has gotten.

MoI 315 wrote:On one hand you present EpicMafia as the scourage of Mafia existence and then turn around and use a phrase that germinated and became well know from there.

Well, I'd hardly use that kind of language. I was being tongue in cheek with crypto knowing that he favors that website. I've no major qualms against EM; I was more trying to get a point across specific to crypto's attitude. That being said, I'm prepared to go to the mat over the idea that defensiveness = scumminess because I've seen it be effective too much not to.

MoI 315 wrote:Also I disagree that asking EC to support his reasoning when it was highly suspect (as I pointed out myself) is ‘Why Me’ posting.

I don't care where the question originates, but if the ultimate rebuttal is some trumped up, faux-astoundment at the thought of being interrogated, then I'm going to jump on that every time.

I know I write too much, but I feel like, if I don't, I'll forget details later in the game.

In other words the "point" is just to catch the players up with my thoughts on the game seeing as how I cannot visit them website every few hours.

ML 323 wrote:Just to reiterate. I think there is an almost zero percent chance that Fourseen is actually going to flip scum.

Why would you feel the need to reiterate this? You're on record as coming to bat for FC (among others), and there's nothing that's going to change that.

That's a very scummy reply because it is 1)trying to discredit your attacker 2)a fallacy because you are basically saying "you can't find fault with me because no one has yet".
This is doubly scummy because you have played with me in an ongoing game, and you therefore know that I'm not a particularly bad scumhunter.

I like this point. I felt similarly, but I wasn't sure how to articulate it.

His second post "I'm pretty reserved" (bracing us for being sketchy perhaps) tingled my spidey sense, and his first posts were awful, but then he declined hopping on some pretty easily justifiable wagons. So I have him leaning town, but not firmly.

i'm not trying to defend anyone i'm pointing out the simple fact that no case means that i have absolutly no reason to believe the 'case' on him, which may i point out is non existent.

This is me trying to let everyone know that in order to make a case you need a case to be made to begin with.

To further elaborate:

This sounds like Bunny is attempting to leave her options open in case momentum shifts back on to Crypto, which at the time of the post both 4seen and crypto are getting a lot of heat. There is too much justification for the vote switch, and comes off scummily.

↑ Bunnylover wrote:@ML: Sorry, but I disagree with you.I agree with Junpei that your taking things out of proportion.

Appealing to another player's read to justify disagreement. Bunny is attempting to back up possible support against ML and possibly playing town against town. If Bunny is scum, Junpei and ML are both town.

↑ Bunnylover wrote:

Fourseen is getting a lot of backing as a bad lynch, and so Bunny attempts to jump ship here and go with her previously set up attack on ML, which at the moment seems like a park vote due to it being the only vote on ML and almost no case provided by Bunny for the vote other than, "He's WKing 4seen too much."

What do you mean by this?

I don't like the defense that your given Fourseen. I see Fourseen as obvious lynch material, and yet you who I would say is a good mafia player would defend him. I don't see why you would do that, other then for credibility if Fourseen flips town.

A bad player been a VI, somewhat like myself, DK, shotty.

Don't see nothing pointing that nopoint is scum. He believes Fourseen is scum, so its obvious that he would try to keep the wagon on him.
I don't like that Warrior is lurking, but I don't have scum read on him.


@Toog:
A)"Too much justification for the vote switch"
I didn't give any justification. At that moment, I saw Fourseen scummier then Crypto.
B)"Trying to play Town against Town"
I agree with what Junpei said. Im not trying to pit anyone against anyone.
c)"Bad talk about Fourseen wagon"
Their are about 14 people needed to achieve a lynch. With 11 people on the wagon, why would (as scum) distance myself against it as their would be less then 10% chance that people would focus on me if Fourseen flipped town? Wouldn't it be better for me to achieve a Town Fourseen lynch as scum?
I think your reaching a little bit, and your the one over justifying your vote on me.

diddin, what makes you say that?

RedCoyote: what would you say differentiates your play in this game so far from your play in the first cyclic experimentation (where you were scum)?

What's up with the fuzzy math. It takes 13 to lynch. According to the vote post, your unvote left 8 on the wagon.

if they had the opportunity to coordinate with scumbuddies before posting.

Third-party is not ruled out, but I can't see him being mafia.

...scum slip?

I would like to address all the suspicion against me as it is all interrelated. I have only played one large theme before (TV mafia, the game Peregrine linked), and I was fully engaged as I had nothing else really going on. I haven't been as keyed in. As a result, I have been picking up a lot of scum reads. I haven't been getting town reads so much, and I haven't been organized.

The Fourseen/Crypto affairs are separate from my norm. They are very radical style players of whom I'm used to enough to know when to put my foot down. In the end of things, I wasn't sure of my read on crypto, he was hard to read, but my position on it now is he is town from his ISO (albeit I haven't reread it), NOT from his exit. Fourseen is just ridiculous and it upsets me to see he's in this game because he's going to be overtly scummy and useless, I assure you.

Coyote: I will not sit and watch DBG do whatever she pleases. I don't care if she holds herself above me, I view her as an equal until proven otherwise, and I am positive that I won't budge on that. So, get off your high horse DBG. It's nice to see that you have explanation for your reads, now, what is your direct opinion on Fourseen? I want an explanation, I don't care who you are, you can't go "I'm held to a lower standard of explanations than the rest of the players" and expect me to just go "oh, okay".

I don't quite know what to make of this statement. For this entire day, you've been sitting on the wagon that I was leading on warriormode. Basically, you agree with me that warrior is scum, and forseen is not. And now you all of a sudden you call me out for defending forseen?

You make three separate illogical leaps to advance your point. This is circular scummy logic.

You've basically followed my reads all day here and then tried to take a swipe at the hand that feeds you.

And the rest of the post was equally as bad. Informing the game that it take 13 instead of 14 to lynch. Takes for the valuable input champ.

I never inferred MoI was in your scum QT. Is that a nice try at dragging him into it or is that an attempt to clear him by association through name inclusion while suggesting absurdity?

VOTE: Junpei

ML tells FC to check their scum daytalk for a pointer.

1.

So this makes two time you've accused people of 'daytalking' in their scum quicktopic. I've found scum are more likely than town to accuse others of having inside information, when they, in fact, have the inside information. (Iecerint in dynasty warriors mafia on multiple scum teams, and several others) You've also accused the following four players of being scum together, me, Magna, Junpei, and forseencircumstances, which seems utterly ridiculous.

A lot of his posts already are empty filler. The following is a list of his entire posting history, with posts I consider to be active lurking.
1. accuses someone of a slip, and then says pro-town plans are pro-town
2. wildmassguessing on scum daytalking QT
3. you slipped!
4. inquires if someone got their links wrong, and then accuses someone of fishing (both baseless again)
7. "i'm not a vi!!!!"
8. nonsense
9. fluff "i voted for X!"
10. fluff
11. fluff "i'll catch up soon!"

I tried to be really really generous here too. Out of all his posts, only 4 actually try and figure out someone's alignment, or ask questions, or do anything other than be absolutely useless. This is a pretty common scum tactic.

And, he has been riding his vote on Junpei all day, but has kept the same justification of "he slipped in that he said he had scum daytalk", and has not really tried to rustle the waters of this game at all. He isn't really interested in lynching junpei either, considering he hasn't mentioned him seriously for about eight posts. In fact, his vote looks like a typical plunk it down and let it ride.

That was actually pretty informative. I can't really form a cohesive town mindset from his posts at all. However, his isolation exhibits the trademarks of scum. Lazy vote. Contenless posts, accusations of slips, nonsense, outrageous accusations. Not backing anything up.

I believe slysly is scum
