If you think you can read someone just by reading one (1) scumgame of theirs, we will definitely agree to disagree.

Do you have contradictory meta or something? His disposition is completely different this game.

You can't judge based on one game. Read 5-10 scumgames of his, tell me that his play does not look like his scumgame because it lacks x common feature that's present in 90% of his scumgames, then I'll listen to you.

Alright, forget the meta. What's the TNE case again?

VOTE: thenewearth
His last post gave me bad feelings, and I don't really feel especially good about any lynch, so this is my pick for a deadline lynch.

Because your vote is weak.

Perhaps you should have read the second part of that line? The one where I say that if desp is town tne becomes a serious option? You know, because desp has been hard-defending tne for weak reasons?

We'll figure him out later

, we're not lynching him now.

That's not how it works. There's a reason slimer has such a good scum record. Towns just don't lynch him. He won't give us something to figure him out by, and his lynch is just going to be more costly later on.

I could point at anyone and call them a DL lynch, why would it have to be specifically tne? Your assumptions are wild and bad.

But PA had just started the tne wagon. There had been so much discussion about the wagons and mollie et al, that pointing at one of those as a DL lynch would have raised more questions, whereas a brand new DL lynch is perfect to latch on to as scum.

How does me being town make TNE more likely to be scum?

Chapter 1 Ends..

(There are no hints/clues in this flavor or in any flavor of the vote counts or death scenes. It's for entertainment purposes.)

k I misread what you said about tne. But regarding slimer, that's bullshit. He's easy to read if you know how to read him.

Want to show me a game where you've read him correctly as scum?

Game
Other than this I've played two games with scum-slimer. One was my second game where I was still inexperienced and fell for his newbie-card, and the other he replaced out but I had kind of pegged him already.

Can someone point me to a game of slimer's town/scum? I have him down as extremely null at the moment, but I'm not about to policy lynch someone. I hate "metaing" people, but apparently it's all the rage anymore; so I guess I'll have to get hip and read things.

My association graph, btw, was between Om/mollie/Wisdom. I'm unsure how these last two pages effect it yet, and I'm actually starting to think I was chasing clouds with the whole idea. The gist to me was that I think Om/mollie are the same alignment and wisdom is the opposite alignment as them. I'm unsure how I came to that conclusion right now, though(my handwriting is...poor, to say the least).

You can't effectively meta someone you haven't played with, don't waste your time.

A short scum one

A slightly less short town one

For bonus points, I was scum with him in the first, and replaced into LyLo as town in the second.

If he's delivering as little content as he is now, I find his two games virtually indistinguishable.


That's not quite true Wisdom. You won't get the same feel as if you're playing with them, but some elements of a person's play are pretty distinguishable by a decent meta-dive.

Thank you for this insightful comment, now someone from not the peanut gallery?

P-EDIT: Thanks, serra. Useful as usual

I disagree. The only thing that happens if you try to meta someone you don't know is read everything the way you want and get biased impressions. Only by actually playing with the person and actually trying to read them (or figure how to deal with them, if scum) you learn how the person is playing/thinking. Only then you can use that knowledge to read them in the future.

Wis, how do you anticipate slimer's play changing? He's still V/LA for 2 weeks or something, so if we don't lynch him today, chances are we won't D2.

2 weeks? If it's that long, he should be replaced.

Activity overview has him V/LA until the 27th...

Well if he's going to continue posting like he has till now, he should replace out.

I don't like nat either but you are going to have to really push it and sell in order to get it to go through so close to deadline.

I think it was weak, not bad. And even that push was head and shoulders above the scumplay I'm familiar with from him.

what makes you say she is town?

My read from early in the game is still valid. I saw scum-TNE up close and personal in Micro 150 and this just isn't it.

Seriously, just read this game, it's 13 pages:

http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=26781

If you still think TNE is scum after reading the link above then we will just have to agree to disagree.

ok thanks. i'll take a read

i was liking her suspicions of macmollie, mostly cause im still suspicious of them myself. (yes even though i unvoted) (wanted to think on it a bit)

In post 445, Mantisdreamz wrote:(yes even though i unvoted) (wanted to think on it a bit)

Not liking this. It indicates that Mantis is thinking of what people will respond to her post and she's trying to cover these possible replies already. Meaning that she cares about how her post appears to others, which is a scumtell.

no. my thinking is that there are you and Bert particularly, who are saying you think she is town. and if she is town, she's good to have in the game.
i don't really like the idea of lynching her first day. but you remember my post - where i said i was certain that she was scum? i still have that in my mind, and i could totally picture her as scum saying that. plus, i don't like that they had arc as unsure, when arc has been obvious town. and i also didn't like their stance on tater... saying that they had to be scum, because of cog dis. not too mention... several pages ago, she has me as scum. if she suspects that i'm scum, she's going to keep her vote on me (i would think).. but instead the vote was moved to thenewearth, then slimer.

How has Arc been obvious town?

she has looked obvious town to me
