I don't study the RVS meta of other players, there's a science to it that I don't understand. However, there is a huge following of players that do and I'm usually not worse off for trusting their judgment. Pretenders of the craft are a completely different story.In post 34, Bacde wrote:Would a link of slandaar doing what i just said actually change your opinion on whether or not he is scum?

No. I pressured you for the existence of the link, not necessarily the content of the link. But the content of the link suggests that you are still a little sour about that game, and possibly trying to use it to invent scuminess when there isn't much to go on. Until, I feel like there's more likelyhood that what you say is true, or I feel like there isn't anything else to go on, I'll be looking else where and consider you on the block if he flips town.In post 45, Bacde wrote:

RVS is a serious thing, I admire the skill of other players who use it as a scum hunting tool. My initial PoE is that Bacde was using it to OMGUS and then asking that I totally trust him. The only thing I feel like I can be sure of right now is that Bacde is not on the scum team with Slandar.In post 48, TheYankeeReaper wrote:
I find it curious that you've taken Bacde's D1 vote on Slandarr so seriously.
It was apparent to me that he was fishing for reactions and the initial argument on Slandarr wouldn't make it past 2-3 pages. Your last sentence also bothers me "...and consider you on the block if he flips town." It seems to me you're giving yourself convenient options for a vote down the line if a Slandarr lynch were to occur.
The meta that Bacde provided seems legit if it wasn't so old and out of date, but I'm going to be looking for partners so I moved my vote off for now.- Josh_B

I didn't respond to this right away, because I wanted to see how Bacde is reacting to other players. His continued "too easy" OMGUSing is something I'd shy away from if I were scum. It seemed like he was trying to make a solid meta case on another player. Giving a year old game as a reason for voting someone is off balance, I recognized that immediately and was challenging him on it. Town may have won, but it was Slaander that hammered bacde, Hence the reason for me thinking that bacde was sour over it.In post 55, TheYankeeReaper wrote:
I'm not trying to argue that RVS means nothing in the scheme of a mafia game, but it was clear that his vote and reasoning was made to get reactions and not a serious ploy to bandwagon Slandarr all the way to a D1 lynch, something you've failed to realize especially with your next post:In post 52, Josh_B wrote:

At SKOT, I think you misunderstood my point about RVS being a serious thing. Random Votes aren't serious. I'm trying to say that the stage produces meta which serious thing as scum is often identified by it later in the game, and it often generates the tone of the whole game.
@Mod,I don't think SKOT is simultaneously voting me and Titus.Got it, thanks. ~phok- Josh_B

What point? Slandaar was horribly lurking that game, it seems he's upgraded to active lurking. What do you think about Pacman?In post 103, Bacde wrote:Voting slandaar wasnt an OMGUS, so i think you are using that term incorrectly
Plus if you had read the game youd see slandaar didnt even push me, he just happened to place a vote on me that happened to be the last vote
Plus, i obviously brought up the game to make a point, not because i was sour. Why are you voting me again?
You do realize that YOUR vote on me is an OMGUS, right?

At the start of this post, I'm going to give a brief paraphrase of some parts of the game, the way I see it.
Bacde- I have unquestionable RVS meta that proves Slandaar is scum.
Joshb- bullshit, prove it.
Bacde- No, just sheep me.
JoshB- You are a liar. Don't play like that.
Bacde- Ok, here's the proof. Now sheep me.
JoshB- This game was a year ago, (unvote) You're fuckin' around, but don't play like that.
Bacde- You still don't believe me, then you're scum, "too easy".
JoshB- Bullshit, you are scum hopping from one bad case to another.
Now on to 1393
Slandaar is luurking hard. But he's townslipping like a MOFO. He posts that he is definitely town and he should definitely not be lynched.
Bacde calls it null, he never hits scum with his votes, and he's telling everyone to help him vote CoolDog. Thor gets lynched anyway.
I'll explain more this evening Sorry I was up late last night.- Josh_B

I voted for Bacde for fake claiming to know RVS Meta. But I already said that didn't I? I know that there are RVS meta experts, I don't agree with people that are pretending to be.In post 184, Mirhawk wrote:Vote: Josh B
That's not what I want to know. I want to know specifically WHY you voted for bacade this game. I don't really care what he did in that other game unless it directly relates to why you voted for him in this one.
Game was a year old. Maybe a false flag, so I unvoted, but still didn't like it. Second time OMGUS, but I feel comfortable with it.
I'm going to be watching to see if patterns show up. Like Slandaar lurking so hard, and bacde telling everyone to sheep him trying to lynch towns, I'm sure he should have learned his lesson by now. But it looks like he hasn't, or he's just scum.- Josh_B

Happy Father's day to all of you Dads out there, and tell your husbands if you haven't already
BACDE- O...M...G...U...S... after a reread of this game, I'm willing to bet that you aren't scum. However, your play is horrible. I would rather that you sheep Titus or Renoe D1, and leave you're "trust me'"s for a future date. Please Respond? and get you're vote off of me. I think we have enough info to make somemore accurateassumptions that are more accurate now.
UNVOTE: Unvote
TSO, Are you picking up on this- bacde actually being town?
Bacde, if you were actually looking for a Peer Review, you should listen to Wake. Wake's review is detailed and I like his thought process.
I don't really like the case on chaos, which started with a snarky comment from Mirhawk who is now jumping on Wake for pushing it. If anyone is still wondering what a chainsaw defense is, We have our winner. Mirhawk seems to be really good at this. If this is also a bus, I'm screwed, but the thought has crossed my mind.
SKOT and pacman are the two whose slot's that I'm the most interested in getting a read on right now.
Pacman's vote looks really bad, and I was ok with SKOT's vote at first, but he's had plenty of opportunity decide if we just have a different RVS theory. The tone of the game has been set. I've shown mine SKOT, let's see yours.

I still want to hear SKOT's reply, but Bacde's response... Yea, that makes more sense now.
At Titus, I had my vote on an overzealous VI that has been sloppily trying to keep himself from being NK'd. You should consider that with your next post, and calmly back away from trying to lynch him. What's your second choice?- Josh_B

You think you responded to me when you said that "RVS is a serious thing is a hyperbole"? RVS meta can be used to identify scum, and it sets the tone of the game. It is important to understand that. What is your take on RVS meta? I'm not coming in and taking a shot, that's a bogus claim, I'm asking you a solid question, and all I've gotten an Ad Hominem response.In post 423, Sharpest-knife-on-tree wrote:
You have shown jack shit. I have made my point of view clear, which you clearly have not even taken time to read up since you last absence and come in and take a shot.

I didn't stop pushing a player that fights back, I stopped pushing a town. And to go right for a lurker? do you mean pacman? because he's going to be replaced, I can't get any info from a player who doesn't exist can I?In post 425, Mirhawk wrote:So JB decides to stop pushing players who'll fight back and go right for a lurker.
And what was that non-RVS reason for voting bacde? I don't think I heard you.
@Slandaar
Your thoughts on Elise and Wake?
Do you mean SKOT? I wouldn't consider him lurking. Just making bad cases and then leaving them out there.
Do you mean you?
I think you must have not have heard me. Faking RVS meta, on purpose. But that's resolved now.
Mirhawk and SKOT seem to fit better than Elise and Bacde.

Well I got a reaction, got votes, and I assesed. Now it's time for the rinse and repeat process. My wagon formed on some bullshit. Now it's time to move forward. Now my vote isn't on Bacde. U mad Bro? Cause I read the game and realized that I was pushing for a bad wagon, and now I'm trying to stop others from getting on it, too?In post 429, Sharpest-knife-on-tree wrote: RVS meta is all bullshit and reaction gauging. Sometimes someone can have a legit tell but more times then not it is people looking for something to pick at and doing so. Anyone claiming to find scum on RVS is a bull-shitter. Now, once you gauge reactions to the bullshit then you start finding something worth pursuing. Now, once you got information out there and things start to flip then you can go back and take a look. Get reactions, get votes, get someone runup, assess, rinse, repeat, and so on. What I am used to on a day one is nothing but nonsense and shtick, until a random wagon forms usually on one form of bullshit or another, assess it, lynch or go another direction and so on.
I explained my self on all accounts of everything that you asked me. I'm sorry if I didn't add your post tags at the beginning of my responses. Are you reading the game? Did I seriously miss something, or are you just saying that I did now that my wagon is dissipating?In post 430, Sharpest-knife-on-tree wrote:oh and do go look up ad hominem. saying you haven't explained "jack shit" about your RVS viewpoint is not ad hominem as there is no attack on your Character unlike the frequent draws to statements like VI or anti-town or other such crap. Then I suggested that you have not even read the thread and just come out without even reading what had been written. Again, not an ad hominem attack. So at least if you are going to use argumentation with a suggestion of a use of a fallacy, then do so correctly. Now I will go back and reread you stuff to see if it comes off different as a matter of differences in perspective as you are claiming.
-I didn't see any patterns that related to this game early on. I saw patterns in the other game, that I said I would be looking for in this game.In post 431, Sharpest-knife-on-tree wrote:EPM Id probably the lurker being referred to-
So, Josh, in terms of explaining yourself, what were the interesting patterns you think you saw early on.
Why is it when you say you suck at RVS meta did you try to engage in so doing with your reaction to said events?
Why did you say you were voting more for OMGUS and not the initial push other than your reaction to that being called out?
See I read over your ISO and I still do not get a warm fuzzy...
-I suck at RVS meta. What's wrong with that? Other people don't. RVS is null and useless to me.
-I voted, got some information and unvoted, then I voted again because I didn't like the reaction, and now I've unvoted because now I truly don't think that Bacde is scum, and I'm moving on to the actual scum team.
Were those all of the other things that you had issue with? or is there more?In post 432, Sharpest-knife-on-tree wrote:oh and the hyperbole was only one thing I listed having issue with, you have not addressed any of the others Josh.- Josh_B

I was saying that I think the other game is interesting. Slandaar and Bacde both got lynched in that game. Slandaar didn't get lynched because of his RVS. Slandaar lurked the whole time in that game, but got the hammer on Bacde. Bacde didn't ever hit scum, but he kept making shitty cases and telling everyone that he was spot on, he was even trying to direct people away from voting scum. He tunneled the crap out of town players like a naked mole rat. I wasn't trying to say that the games were related at that time. Bacde makes shitty cases and I'm not going to sheep his ridiculousness on page one.In post 438, Mirhawk wrote:

-My wife say's I have things going on in my head that I don't share, but I assume that everyone already knows anyways. It's a personal fault. I said RVS is a serious thing, when I should have said RVS meta is a serious thing. Meta is a serious thing, and I've learned that RVS meta can be considered separate from game meta, as can lylo, pressure, and L-1 meta. RVS meta is not my forte. I'm better at judging lylo, and pressure. IDGAF who takes RVS seriously, I do. Are you saying that I'm buddying up to Yankee? Is that a claim that he takes RVS seriously(strawman).

-Ad Hom- "You haven't shown jack shit" is an attack on me, and not responding to the question that I asked you. Why do I feel like you are yelling at me?
-Over qualified statements? I don't understand, are you calling me scum for that? I can't explain my personality.

I'm still not sure on a lot of people.
I thought bacde was scum at first, but then he posted something that made me hard town read him.
I felt like there was scum between him and slandaar, and I was right. But maybe not in the way I thought. Slandaar being a TP changes things, or Slandaar is lying.
I think the case that slandaar made on Titus is crap, and I think Titus is town.
Mirhawk, I explained earlier, and I think he's scum. I also didn't like that he made some claims against me then let SKOT take the lead on my questioning.
Elyse backed up SKOT but when I asked her if she had asked me anything herself, she didn't reply. So I'm leaning scum there.
Bacde seriously looks scummy and I agree with Wake's case, but then there's that thing that thing that Bacde posted that changed my mind. Wake is probably reading the game and actually pointing out things that are scummy, as is Titus, so I think Wake is town.
I think Renoe is not scum in relation to Elyse.
Mirhawks weak case on chaos and subsequent attack on Wake furthering the case leads me to believe that Chaos is town.
SKOT is town.
The final scum lies between Pacman and TYR. But this list is dependant on Slandaar actually being who he says he is.

Definitely? I think that Titus's play is town. I was in a game with him recently where he was scum, and his play is remarkably different,
But If anyone is definitely town, it's me. If anyone is definitely Scum it's Slandaar. If Titus is scum, you are definitely his scum partner.
This is why Pacman's reads are definitely crap.
I think I understand a few players, but TSO WTF? Sarcasm, I hope.- Josh_B

And finally the vote. "everyone is saying that josh is scum, so I'm going to also even though I put an empty vote on him earlier and haven't read the gameIn post 566, evilpacman18 wrote:1. Josh_B
scum for sure. the early stuff with Bacde and the link absolutely reeks. It's tunnelly and pointless and town would have realized that and backed down in such an early part of the game.
I backed down because... reasons. I thought Bacde made a shit case that was supposed to look like he actually had information.
2. Slandaar
town by first post
165 is town as shit, this read isn't going anywhere
Slandaar is definetly scum. He admitted to not being town aligned. This read is crap.
3. Bacde
town by page 2
By page two? This is based on me tunneling him so early not on Badce's actual play.
4. Sharpest-knife-on-tree
Nothing here, but there should be.
6. chaoslord54
could be paranoia because I know him IRL and got him on the site but I kind of have a scum read
This looks like trying to exploit his newbness. If pacman and chaos were scum together, the knowing each other in real life would be a reason to buddy, not to scum read.
7. Titus
oh hi
is paranoid
is town
I will paraphrase IRL Titus here: "If I am being a crazy person I am town" I promise you she said something like that.
this game is easy
Easy? this read is FUCKING WRONG.
8. T S O
Nothing here either when there should be. I don't like the follow up by TSO calling this shit post a good reads list either.
9. reinoe
wrong but town
If any list is going to have Titus as scum, it's going to include reinoe as scum too. That "moon beam logic" as a reason to town read someone is crap.
10. Elyse
has a history of being wrong. alignment could go either way.
oh she's town yeah. thinking of a lot of good angles
This looks like bullshit. If Elyse is nailed, pacman has a reason to say that he went either way.
11. TheYankeeReaper
This guy is MIA, but his early posts don't look good. Leaving his name open like this means he waiting on a town to push this case.
12. Wake88
probably scum for being the second person to vote with random.org
definitely scum. very full of shit (101)
Full of shit, my ass. Random.org seems to be the accepted way of RVSing. But oh yea, Wake's RVS was on Elyse, so this actually makes sense that Wake would get a scum read.
13. Mirhawk
somehow makes me very not interested in reading his posts
Ignorance is bliss! and a scum tell. Maybe you guys saying this game is too easy, are right..
sorry that's like out of order stream of consciousness cuz normally I do page by page but I felt like changing it up here. This is only like 10 pages in, I will figure out T S O and SKOT and whoever else when I get home.
My vote was fine.
vote: Josh_B
because it makes me look town." Stream of consciousness is a town tell, but saying it is also a buzzword to justify your crap reads so that you can come back later and say "oops I was wrong, he he he."- Josh_B

Titus. I'm sorry for the vote but this is BS and nobody seems to be reading the game. I know that sometimes I have to put my vote on a town to get my point across.
The shallow OMGUSing and flash wagoning isn't going well for me. Please read my post and we can be friends, not enemies.
I am a Doctor. I didn't want to lynch Bacde because I think he hard softclaimed the gunsmith, in his post about Researchers(investigator) need a Peer Review(PR= Power Role) and the old game that he brought up had a gunsmith. So I've been trying to keep people from lynching him. If I could keep him alive tonight, and keep other people from lynching him today. Any other lynch is alright from my PoE. So that he could bring back that information.- Josh_B

Bacde might come back with conf town info. Either way, that's still information. I figured that he was probably going to investigate me, and then we'd both be alive for two DP's, and my voting Titus would be seen as derp town. So I wouldn't get NK'd tonight either. Maybe I should have moved my vote to Wake, but I thought Titus was the safer placement. I hoped that he would understand it.- Josh_B

When was I complaining about wake voting me? I'm having to ISO Wake ever voting for me. Oh, he never did. And I never complained about him voting for me. The only thing I've said about Wake is that Mirhawk was trying to scum read him for pushing an idea that he started on Chaos.In post 630, reinoe wrote:In post 628, Josh_B wrote:I didn't miss post 569. Wake88's lynch isn't going to wake people up. Titus's would. My lynch is scum heaven, I'm sorry Bacde that I outed you like that. I'm at serious L-1, so this is the only way that I can still try to save you at least for one night.
If you didn't miss 569, then why were you complaining about Wake's vote on you? Wake's vote clearly wasn't on you then, is it? Your wagon is most definitely not a flashwagon. It built up over 20+ pages.In post 619, Josh_B wrote:

And..
UNVOTE: titus
VOTE: pacman
I should have did this earlier, but I wasn't thinking about it, sorry. This is a legit vote. I'm scum reading Elyse, and Mirhawk, based on Slandaar actually being TP, but TSO's recent additions are telling me that Slandaar is lying. So, pacman is still the connecting piece.- Josh_B

So, I think you understand why I put my vote on you, and not on Wake? I also thought that if scum saw that I was willing to put my vote on you, I would be a player that was acting in their favor, which rightly so was anti-town and in a survival mindset. But I'm sure I'm not the only one that thought Bacde was a PR. TSO was defending him long before I ever started. So when I made the pass for a town response from TSO, about picking up that Bacde was a PR. I didn't get the response I expected, but I think he understood it by his response. And now even though I've claimed, he acts like he still wants to lynch. Pacman's reads are crap, but he's like "good read list "In post 649, Titus wrote:
@JoshB, a couple of things. First, if you're a major wagon that is not scum, scum won't be NKing you. There's literally no reason to do something so derpy as voting a townread. Your post in that indicated you were playing with much more of a survival mindset. Stop. Assume you will not live to see Day 2. Play that way. Also, you are assuming many things... first, scum don't buddy each other. I tend to do that a lot as scum. Second, you're assuming TSO's comments have some bearing on Slandaar telling the truth (how?)
It's also a big rule for both town and scum to kiss the vig's ass if you believe that he's a vig.
Especially when that garbage includes too many implications that can't possibly all be true at the same time.
Plus...
doesn't line up.In post 215, T S O wrote:
I'm not sure Titus-Slandaar is T-T; I'm gonna call Bacde town for now because I like him, not because I really have a reason to, plus I need more time to figure him out.

Is this true for MS.net? I've been on the site since Feb, and this is the first time I've been in a game where I actually thought a vig was an actual possibility. Where I come from (debate.org) Vigilante is almost always a TP role, or a fake scum claim. In a 12 player game like this, a town vig would sway the game heavily in town's favor, and I just haven't seen that from MS.net. From what I have seen, there's more likely to be a shit ton of VT's. Which actually makes slandaar's role claim seem like BS, so I'm not liking you defending him over it.In post 658, Elyse wrote: Vigs are town.
But if someone who has been here longer than me thinks Slandaar is a TOWN vig, and not a third party, or scum. I want to hear it.- Josh_B

Spoiler: considerate wall reduction: Wake's Analysis
My conclusion is that I do not think Wake is town, or this game is bastard. Since the Mod has confirmed that this game isn't bastard, I'm taking a stand that Wake is scum. So, I'm comfortable with my vote, and I will move my vote to Pacman, if there is a consensus.
I already claimed so a mass claim wouldn't affect me and I don't think it would matter at this point.- Josh_B

Renoe. I've made a case on Wake. -Maybe I shouldn't have spoilered it. Either you agree with it or you don't. Don't come out here saying, WELL someone else should make the case. When it's already out there.
In addition to the case, the whole talk about replacement follows my train of thought that Wake is over reacting for being caught.- Josh_B

I have a problem with this, Wake wasn't run up. At least he wasn't in comparison to my wagon. He just got all mad because two people were questioning him, and claimed some secondary role.In post 898, Bacde wrote: Titus what do you think the chances are of us running up both josh/wake for acting scummy and them both actually being town PRs?- Josh_B

What if... there are 4 scum? I know the standard is three but the game I signed up for...In post 1429, phokdapolees wrote:I assume my game is going to be reaching signups very soon so I'll just post this now
The game's pretty pr-heavy and kinda swingy (but balanced nonetheless) so if you're an old fart who doesn't like to have fun you probably shouldn't sign up
Everything else is pretty standard, two-week gamedays, three-day nights, yada yada- Josh_B

I ISO'd Wake, and saw this. His vote put him at L1 when he was talking to TSO. If Slandaar hadn't replied so fast and TSO had put a vote on Slandaar, Slandaar would have been lynched.

Wait, you're right it didn't. Titus moved his vote right before you put yours on.
I was just looking at the Vote Count.In post 518, Titus wrote:@Bacde: Slandaar, Elyse or you. I am not voting anyone else.
@All, Really, this is the most bullshit claim of vig I have seen in awhile. He's facially not the vig but everyone unvotes because there are better solutions. My god what stupidity.
VOTE: Bacde
I am not seeing tomorrow and Slandaar will go lol I guess both sides wanted Titus dead. Lynch him if he tries to pull that. - Josh_B
