I dislike how she calls this interaction a town vs town but proceeds to call clemecy's reaction null and over mutiple posts. As seen in posts 93 and post 95. If it's a town vs town you wouldn't be calling the slot null. She then never gives any reason to think why clemency slot may be town. I have a theory the reason she said it was town vs town was because she wanted to avoid conflict with clemency because his the type of player that will drag you into the spot light.In post 79, Raya36 wrote:Anyway, now that I've gotten a bit of a defense I'll post my thoughts:
I think this is a TvT interaction.
I don't think what bji was saying is necessarily a scumtell at all. Sure, there is an inconsistency with what clemency was saying but I think it's more a personality defined inconsistency than a scum inconsistency considering the context. I think it was a good attempt at getting us out of rvs though and it was more or less successful. The chatty opener scum point is a good point though. I can see the whole leader thing as scum 'reluctantly' taking a town leading role in the game. Not a scumtell on it's own though for sure.
I think the most that came out of this was clemency's reaction. I'm having a hard time deciding if what we're seeing is town or scum frustration but I at least believe it is genuine. The OMGUS vote seems more so to be frustrated town though. Scum would likely be more careful?
YepIn post 119, Clemency wrote:its gonna be one of these games huh
I'm a more competitive player I do acknowledge that players aren't like that. But I will admit mafia scum seems to have a intense competitive atmosphere.In post 123, Clemency wrote:not that i mind a little competitiveness, of course
just dont expect me to write essays
That sounds like a pretty good reason to lean town on clem but that leads back to the original question why emphasise the nullness of the slot? I mean there really wasn't a need to over explain yourself over multiple posts.In post 132, Raya36 wrote:I would town lean clem before I would scum lean for sure. I will admit to being inconsistent in my reads there and I 100% see where you're coming from. In my opinion it comes more from me not being confident in the interaction being TvT. On a second glance I saw more null actions coming from clem than I did town.
If it helps to clear things up here's a quick reanalysis/summary of both:
Clemency:
-Genuine frustration (Initially but told me town but on a second look I considered it to be scum frustration as well) (null points but leaning town)
-OMGUS (I expect scum with any experience to be careful about this which is why I see it as more town frustration) (town points)
-I think his playstyle makes him lynchbaity/easy to mislynch
-Initially was focused on getting the game to start. Scum would likely let a slightly less active game sit instead of trying to get conversation started. (Town points)
-bji had a good point about him being a 'chatty opener'. It is possible for scum to open chatty so they can easily get a town leading role and it is possible he was faking reluctancy ot taking this role. This is when I started to hesitate on him being town for sure but alone this is a weak reason to scum read someone.
Bji:
-Seemed to be putting in a genuine effort to get us out of rvs (town points)
-His 'attack' on clemency was weak but it was good for the start of the game and did bring out some interesting reactions (town points)
-did have a good point about him being a 'chatty opener'
-Like Clemency seemed intent on starting the game. Something scum would likely not do as I explained above. (Town points)
-I also did consider he could've been trying to put some sus on clemency but I'm not convinced this is the case
I am going to be honest I was a little excited because I thought caught scum early on but now I'm not as sure.In post 134, Raya36 wrote:The overemphasization was unintentional. I guess I do that sometimes when I'm trying to engage more since I think I tend to be on the quieter side most games. So I guess it's just the result of me trying to change my playstyle up a bit.
Thanks for the input though. I'll try to be a little more clear and to-the-point from now on.
First reach was with clemency post 56 by saying they were a chatty opener. I think it's a bit of reach but nothing to bad.In post 165, bji wrote:Ended with? That's what I started with. You should pay closer attention.In post 164, Garmr wrote:Yeah I'm not liking bji either now. One reach was excusable, but this second one seems even more forced. Especially how he ended it with "irrelphant being a null read but worthless if town so should lynch anyway."
What are the two reaches? Do you mean the two instances where I actually tried to progress the game instead of sitting back and playing safe?
This comment shows you are conscious of how people view you and your trying to be portrayed as someone who progress's the game. It comes off as artificial.Do you mean the two instances where I actually tried to progress the game instead of sitting back and playing safe?
I spent quite a bit of time thinking about this.In post 169, bji wrote:I got lots of reactions from Clemency and Irrelephant so I feel like I'm getting quite a bit done here.
I leave it up to my fellow townies to decide if they think that this game will be won by applying pressure and forcing reactions or by sitting back and making unconvincing passive judgements.
1.It's not mischaracterisation as it is obvious you are being aware of what you are trying to portray.In post 171, bji wrote:Mischaracterization. My statements were an accurate description of the tact I have taken in response to your insinuation that there was something disingenuous about the "reaching" positions I had taken previously.In post 170, Garmr wrote: That being said
-You are conscious of your appearance and you are constantly trying to push that your aggressiveness makes you town.
This is just patently false. I never stated a read, was quite clear to say that the player was either scum or incompetent town. I have never stated a clear read on irrelephant one way or another, and certainly not flip flopped on it. And one man's 'shading' is another man's 'scumhunting' so ...-You jumped from a scum read to a null read while shading the fuck out the null read slot.
Which point was that again?-You ignored the point above when I mentioned it and pushed even harder that you are winning the game for town painting a picture.
At this point in the game, *every* argument is going to look reachy because there is so little evidence for anything to be based on. Everyone playing this game should be aware of this. You should be aware of this.-Your points are reacy.Allof your points, including this one, are reachy for the same reason.

I think Garmr has been playing long enough to know that a hammer was not going to happen there. All of the players who had expressed any scum leaning on me were already on my wagon.

Usually L-1 provokes a lot of discussions and idea, but it didn't last this time.
So given that Garmr has me as one of his top, if not as his top, scum read, why do you think he'd remove the hammer from me?
I been in this game long enough to know that scum can self hammer when at l-1 to deny information. I also know that town can yolo quick hammer(I've done that myself). Is it likely to happen no, but it's better to be safe than sorry.In post 207, Garmr wrote:Oh l-1 ok. I feel people panic to much when someone hit's l-1. That being said

I don't want the day to end yet.
I caught you out trying to be something sneaky. When you got caught your response is not to respond to the accusation, but to ignore it and make another loaded accusation.In post 269, bji wrote:I'd just like to point out to everyone what just happened here so that town can be crystal clear on this:
I asked Sashaddin for his opinion of something that Garmr had done, and Garmr jumped out of the woodwork to defend himself against a question not even asked of him. He didn't wait to see what Sash had to say -- one would think that would be interesting detail that Garmr might want to know right? I mean Garmr would want to know that if he actually needed this "information" that is so important to him that he can't keep the hammer on me for fear of losing out on it ... but information about another player's viewpoint on his own play ... nope, he can't be bothered to wait to get it. He'd rather jump in and proactively defend himself.
Someone help me out here ... does Garmr actually want information or doesn't he?
I'll take this as a confession to doing it then.In post 270, bji wrote:So feeding narrative isn't useful? What if I am trying to gauge how readily Sashaddin agrees with a certain conclusion?
But what do I know ... I'm just out here trying to get information ...
If that was the case I think town would of done it in a unbiased way. A natural answer would of gathered more information in this scenario. Also that doesn't disclude a scum you from doing the same thing to try and manipulate someone else into making the case so they get hit with the flack when I flip town. Also your logic is flawed. Because I made it quite obvious I took the hammer away just in case and I thought it was no big deal that he got to l-1 in the first place. You portrayed it as me pretending to panic and taking the l-1 away. What I would consider scummy is someone going omg his l-1 quick unvote him.In post 273, bji wrote:When Sash lamented that the game was slow, I wondered if he'd even given any thought to the idea that the game being slow might say something about how comfortable scum was with the way the day was playing out. There are numerous arguments for and against this idea, but I think it's an interesting idea, and I was curious to know whether Sash had even considered them ...In post 271, Garmr wrote: 1.Can I ask you what information did you hope to get by asking a loaded question
Then he posted his list of reasons, and (1) and (2) were obvious and I agreed to them, I saw little of interest in those points. But (3) was interesting because he noticed something inconsistent between this game and his other games, which was that the hammer didn't last long at all this game and so the opportunity for discussion and ideas was lost. Which made me think back to when the hammer was taken away -- I didn't even have time to post an answer to the question "do you know the hammer is on you" before the hammer was back off again. I also thought this was odd because I was expecting more intense discussion of my play given that there had been so much active interest in my slot in days prior; if I were another townie I'd be frustrated that the opportunity to put some pressure on my slot was taken away. And I sensed a little of that frustration in Sash from that comment.
But I couldn't understand why he would not have then suspected something of you for taking the hammer away -- not even asked you why you did it.
So I decided to ask him a question about it -- to see what he thought might be your reasons for doing that. And yes, it was framed in a way to invite his suspicion because I wanted to see if he would resist something that I think should have naturally made him suspicious. It's reaction testing and basically just trying to get him to put down meaningful opinions about you that can be examined later in the game.
I doubt this is the case but I will rephrase that. Somewhat knowing my reputation do you think I'm the type to let it slide and avoid conflict?Depends on the situation, but generally I'd let it slide. Certainly I would have let that question to Sash slide, you've got no votes and plenty of time to defend yourself.2.If someone asked another person a loaded question framing you in a negative light. Would you wait while letting them be manipulated or call it out while the topic is hot?
Yeah when I was writing that post i missed 270 which is why I responded after.Huh? How did I ignore it? I acknowledged your categorization of the question in post 270 by re-using your terminology of "feeding narrative". Feeding narrative implies loaded question.3.Why did you ignore the fact you asked a loaded question?
I feel like you reaching out to others is trying to avoid a confrontation with me or in a less likely scenario calling out for help from your scum buddy. I don't think it would spin like a broken record.I am making people I think are interesting make statements and express opinions about other people I think are interesting.4.Why are you trying to appeal to everyone else?
Is our interaction going to turn into a broken record where you keep asking me why I am doing stuff and I keep asking you why you are doing nothing?
That's it your doing it again trying to cut the conversation short by to appeal to third parties. Your temperament is slightly different when you are the one getting pressured. If you are pressuring and in the dominant position your fine with 1v1 and continuing the argument on a personal level. But when I'm dominant and pressuring you try to cut it short and appeal to others instead of engaging in personal debate. Which makes me feel this is the right path of pushingYou are creating a narrative based on your guesses about what I would have done.I doubt that you would be gauging how readily he accepts that otherwise you would of said it when I called you out. Instead of throwing a accusation straight away. Sounds like to me you were caught out. This sounds more like a rushed defence you thought up after the fact.
I'll let town decide who is more likely to have been caught out here, me or you.
Seems like a way to try and avoid criticism.In post 275, bji wrote:I'm trying to spare everyone having to listen to you and me make the same points over and over again because I don't think we're going to get anywhere.

Creature comes in and basically just writes that no one knows what they are doing, with very little evidence except a few quotes cherry picked from here or there, and people start unvoting?
I sense that some players are just waiting to sheep Creature because he's Creature? Like I've never played with this person before or even heard of him, there's no way I'm doing that personally. Even if I did know him, I still wouldn't do it. That's just stupid because whatever town feel you think you are reading from his play could easily be faked.
Process of Elimination
I have played with town Creature a few times, and while this isn't stellar play from him so far, it's definitely enough for me to not want to lynch him right now
Also if you aren't familiar with his play how do you knowthat the town feel I get from his posts could be easily faked[/b]

I had the same thoughts as Garmr re:Raya involving herself in the early argument (mindmeld this early is reason enough to lightly townread garmr). raya's early play seemed like an easy way to get townread, by playing peacemaker, and I think her explanation since then has been overly long because she's making it up as she goes
that's my whole read on both of them
not sure why providing reads on almost the entire playerlist counts as "so lazy it deserves a lynch either way" (when there's, say, flubber who just *isn't playing* atm), so that's not a good look from you

Also it should be obvious that "either scum or incompetent town, let's lynch" comes across as a scum read, because I'm not going to assume you think I'm incompetent/worthless town???
I don't know how to read you, but you sure are riling up townies (we can't all be scum), which I'm not loving personally. Which is to say, I'm back to thinking you might be town, but I don't personally like interacting with you at all so far. Seems like you only want to approach this game from a "I don't make mistakes, and scum will out themselves by interacting with me" which is honestly *not* an ideal playstyles imo but probably doesn't deserve a scumread on its own
These two post clash . He goes from defending a town read (me) to asking what do you think of garmr piggybacking my read while I'm town. The conclusion I would get from a statement like that is garmr is scum but they don't express it latter on. To top it off it's a different standard when they vote raya after my case "it's a mind meld." but when I push bji after it's a piggy back.In post 174, Irrelephant11 wrote:Clemency was also riled up / almost replaced out.

First, my personal experience is that scum replaces more frequently. It is a sucky part of the game because it reduces the fidelity of the game that there can be this objective fact that takes non-gameplay information and affects the game, but it is true in my experience. Second, it makes more sense that Tex would replace out because he didn't want to play scum than anything else. He did express interest in joining, and he did pretty much noped out as soon as he saw his role PM and then saw how the game was going. This all seems so much more likely to come from scum than town.In post 550, Persivul wrote:[Yes, a replace out is an objective fact. No, it's not factual evidence of scum, as townies replace out all the time.I agree with Skitter30, there is a good argument against the Tex slot based on the replace outs from that slot. Every bit of in-game evidence is just speculation because the scum are lying through their teeth all the time here, and spotting that is hard. But you can't lie about a replace out. It happens and is factual evidence. I wouldn't mind basing my Day 1 vote on such factual evidence when the alternative is all WIFOM.
You seem like a very good player though, if you are town and get lynched because of Tex then it will be a big blow to town.
Of course, if you are scum then I think we'll be lucky to get you on the Tex slot dirtiness. So your skill is null obviously when it comes to evaluating the value of lynching the slot.
