I’m a moderator on a chat-based real time online mafia room. This is my third game total on this site and my first in around half a year.
I’m busy for the rest of the day, but I’ll read game, give thoughts & be on tonight. Wall_post_incoming.jpeg- Gimm1ck

I get that wagons are good for reactions, but why be ok with hammering in a game that’s on page 2 and has eight days before deadline? Like, really?
As an aside on the wagon thing, I kinda like what you did but lolhammers are a thing, especially when people haven’t checked into the threat. I usually wait for everyone to post before we get to L-1 because some people rvs without reading the thread and then you’ve bought two mislynches (the wagonee and the innocent hammered) for the price of one.In post 44, Spartan117 wrote:
So if I say "I have 0 alignment reads so far" and follow it up by saying "I have no issue with hammering anyone here provided I think they are scum", where in that did I say I wanted to hammer someone page 2, are you by chance Cathy Newman in disguise?In post 42, AaronFrost wrote:

Also your even though it was random, self-voting is usually seen as an anti-town move, even during RVS.
VOTE: Spartan117
Additionally please tell me what is anti-town about self voting during the RVS on the first page? What does it tell you about my alignment if anything?In post 48, Spartan117 wrote:

2. In my last game, one player self voted in RVS and everyone jumped on that vote.
So yeah, it’s a really bad and scummy idea to L-1 this early, especially in a 9p game. VOTE: Spartan117
2. If someone votes themselves and others jump on the wagon and vote him, what does that say about their alignment? What was the alignment of this player in your last game?
I liked Aarons reaction felt townie to me
Saladmans reaction felt very much like scum trying to hope on a wagon, as an SE I expect more from you than your response in #46, I would have hoped more experienced players would understand the full motive behind that game advancing content, no comments on any of the other people who are on Teachers wagon?

Salads response of course views things from a very flat angle, i know that spartan wasnt trying to get a quick mislynch. Though i am happy the game gained traction, i cant townread spartan for it because either faction could do it. I think aarons reaction to the vote is also pretty bad, it reads as though hes more concerned on where he is at when/if a lynch occurs rather than getting a scum lynch through. The whole convo reads like TvS and if i had to pick a side i'd say aarons the goon here.

I mean, if people are jumping on a self vote and hammering in rvs you should be focusing more on them rather than the person making a joke vote.
Not a fan of Aaron's RVS not because of his flavor but his readiness to justify his flavor / reactions to people saying it was too much (post 22/24)- Gimm1ck

Saying now that Teacher reacted calmly and townie, albeit a tad passively to his wagon; considering it nai on him for the present being.
Reading back over early Spartman wagon here, so sorry for not knowing how to use quotes (you can see how badly I messed it up a few posts up) anyways;
Personally I find spartman to be scummy in that situation. He uses a defensive reply to pressure (think And why does that make me scum?),
"Additionally please tell me what is anti-town about self voting during the RVS on the first page? What does it tell you about my alignment if anything?" (post 44)
and calls out saladman for not contributing to in-game scum hunting.
"Saladmans reaction felt very much like scum trying to hope on a wagon, as an SE I expect more from you than your response in #46, I would have hoped more experienced players would understand the full motive behind that game advancing content, no comments on any of the other people who are on Teachers wagon?"
This earns scum points for Spartan as he - as stated before - calls out Salad for not investing in game related content while defensively replying to pressure.
Saladman's Lynch on Spartan is nai for me as of now. Going over rest of game soon- Gimm1ck

1. I moderate a chat based community that focuses on quick 30 minute to around 2-3 hour games. I am inexperienced and notoriously bad at forums based mafia from my community.In post 64, teacher wrote:I’m hating the slowness of the game.

2. How do you play as town
3. How do you play as scum
4. What do you think gives away a player as scum or town

This is fair reads but - might be the community I come from - very high activity is a common way of gaining towncred, which is why I am very hesitant to make any reads based on activity.In post 67, teacher wrote:
I disagree. You took the randomness out of RVS, by denying agency for your vote and not voting another slot. Both actions suggest sensitivity to how you would appear. It could reasonably be seen as AI.In post 61, Spartan117 wrote:something anti town when I feel it is not alignment indicative.
Outside of that, I have mixed feelings on you. Like I liked the pressure move on my slot, but not the reaction to Frosts question (which did read to me as being ok with a page 2 hammer “here” though I recognize you disclaimed that). I also like the drive for participation, though it could be lamisty.
Ultimately, I TL you despite these pings because I don’t think scum would be poking the thread in the way you have; they’d rather let it skate along quietly. The wIM I see is outweighing what may simply be playstyle differences.- Gimm1ck

Why do these imply scumminess? Is there a reason that they would act this way If they were scum? Would they act differently if they were town?In post 75, AaronFrost wrote:

That being said, I do like Spartan's response to my questions. I had a feeling he was reaction testing and wanted to confirm whether that was true. I also agree with his sentiment of anti-town =/= scum.
UNVOTE:
Not really liking Saladman's posts here. In #54 he says that he's concerned about a mislynch happening on Spartan despite the fact that he was nowhere close to being lynched. And if you were concerned about a hypothetical mislynch, then why vote him at all? Early game wagons aren't necessarily a bad thing provided you have a town sensible enough not to quick/self hammer, and Spartan doesn't strike me as the type of person who'd do that.

Now lolhammers are a common enough occurence on newbie games, enough to keep an eye out or even panic at times. However an experienced player like teacher, had he rolled town shouldnt have problem keeping calm at l-1. I feel like town!teacher here would have tried to explain the implications of a L-1 this early and panicked later. I believe that he also would have townread this at first glance.
Of course him disappearing right after that doesnt do him any favors either i dont think. Somethings wrong with his playstyle, yet i cant quite put my finger on it right now. I guess i'll have more substantial stuff later in the game.
Besides that im not liking saladmans activity. He seems to post a lot, yet almost all of them lack substance.In post 234, Spartan117 wrote:

At that point i thought town!you would be more concerned with trying to persuade spartan out of l-1ing teacher. Your posts seem more like you're trying to seem reasonable without taking any action, what with asking spartan if he wants a lynch. On surface level it seems like a natural enough question but definitely not the question to be asking at page 2. I think a town response would be more in line with "the fuck?"
The way I see Dong currently is actually a townlean. I do not believe their read on teacher is fabricated to be false; Dong's reluctance to back down on a read they find to be correct to them is townie in my book. Scum Dong wouldnt want to keep a read that is obviously drawing them negative attention, especially if they believe they are furthering pro town activity at this point.- Gimm1ck

No. I was saying that I personally find when people respond to pressure by asking someone to elaborate on the reason they are being pressured is generally scummy to me.In post 234, Spartan117 wrote:

This is especially given the context with Salad lynching you in early game phases - although yes, questioning Salad's viewpoints in early game phases has a place, it should not be a justification for a counterlynch unless you have other reasoning. Which is why I found it scummy.- Gimm1ck

Look at my previous post, not sure if I am expressing it correctly, but given your direct Lynch onto Spartman for that reasoning (esp. early game) was scummy in my book.In post 236, Spartan117 wrote:

Dongempire is conditionally townie only for the reason I posted above. Chiibii is null-town due to noobmeta (at least the noobmeta I am accustomed to in my other mafia site presence).
Also I just realized I've been using Lynch instead of Vote, I've gotten flak for that in previous MS games due to historical context but it is the term we use on the site I come from. Apologies if you have been offended.- Gimm1ck

Keep in mind these are my side thoughts trawling through beginning of day 2 as a sub. Clearly they are incorrect after reading through the rest of the game (content and number - wise).In post 236, Spartan117 wrote:

Time to explain something about what I look for when I am scum hunting;In post 258, teacher wrote:
1. Playing out your hypothetical - You ever had a good hand pre-flop, completely miss but have to continuation bet to potentially take it on a semi-bluff?In post 243, Gimm1ck wrote:The way I see Dong currently is actually a townlean. I do not believe their read on teacher is fabricated to be false; Dong's reluctance to back down on a read they find to be correct to them is townie in my book. Scum Dong wouldnt want to keep a read that is obviously drawing them negative attention, especially if they believe they are furthering pro town activity at this point
2. Countering your hypothetical - what negative attention was it drawing, other than mine? It set off alarm bells for me, but everyone else (other than Aaron?) poo-pooed it.
Scum generally want to avoid being lynched day one and individually do not want attention on themselves (which is why pressure and rvs swinging is very beneficial to give reads). Scum want to appear nonchalant for the majority of day one to avoid being lynched, giving reactions to town, or making any hint towards their partner(s).
A side affect from this is that scum tend to not make any extremely polarizing reads in fear of either being caught on lackluster logic and counterwagoned onto, or being OMGUSsed /FOSed due to their reads. That leads them to play somewhat passively and attempt to maintain a neutral posture on wagons.
Scum Dongempire had plenty of time after Aaron lynched him and teacher's negative attention - as you say - to either modify their read slightly, ask more questions, or attempt to shift attention off themselves if they were scum in the form of making more, different reads. Which I do not see them doing; especially given that they refreshed and enhanced their read later on - directly after Aaron lynched them for that read (will get quotes in a second don't want to fuck up quotes again).
Rather, their steadfast resolve to push teacher is a townie move in my opinion.- Gimm1ck

Really did not like their case against teacher. teacher wasn't responding to the fact that he was at L-1, he was responding to Spartan when he seemed to imply that he was okay with hammering on page 2 and I think teacher's response is fine because of that.

My computer hasn’t been working properly for the past few days and apologies for my inactivity, I guess I’m on semi v/la until it gets sorted out.
VOTE: Saladman27 for the time being, will explain more later on in a few hours but just wanted to get on this.
Regardless, I would prefer a lynch over none, so I’m chill w/ dong being hammered if they dont respond, but I would prefer saladman under more pressure.

Georgebruedly kill can be taken three ways:
1. Obvtownies are really scum.
2. Null kill to prevent reads from flips and/or an attempt to throw off town.
3. PR read.
I am inclining the third option as incorrect as I see no real reason to PR read George from anywhere on site.
Given the first case scenario, I believe the two most obvious townies to be teacher and Aaron.
Given the second, it is possibly a scum tactic to divert attention to the obvious townies and to shine some negative light on them, which I find to be the most plausible explanation of the night kill.
Going over yesterday's lynches and seeing what we can see. I am still mobile and having some internet connection issues, but I'll get out as much as I can, when I can.
I disagree that Dong should have been lynched yesterday, which is why I am returning to VOTE: Saladman- Gimm1ck

I honestly do not like this. While yes, having a flip day one is beneficial to town, you should not be mindlessly hopping on to a wagon for the sheer sake of having a wagon - this is personally a scummy mindset.
I generally feel that town would have a wagon going on a scumread/lean and be pressuring that slot at that current moment - having a filler post of 'I'm going to +1 the biggest wagon' without making significant attempts to wagon onto another person you personally feel is scummy (or providing a reason to +1 the wagon), I classify that as scummy.- Gimm1ck

This is another thing I would like to mention - I doubt this is the main probable reason George was nked if Salad is scum, but it definitely is noteworthy that George scumread Salad.In post 305, GeorgeBailey wrote:I'm conflicted between votingSaladorDong.
Salad has done some interesting plays that stand out, and Dong seems quiet. Dong's accusation against teacher felt too meta, and a bit of a reach.
And Gimm1ck (still voting for Spartan, no reason specified) has been making strange pot-shots at Aaron.
I guess the choice is to either join Teacher's wagon or Spartan's wagon. Since I really don't want a d1 no-lynch
And I think I trust the people on Teacher's wagon more. I still can't really tell what Yoda's alignment is. But i'm pretty sure Aaron is town.
So, sorry m80.
VOTE: Dongempire
After this, I believe Dong is atL-2- Gimm1ck

I said that I was alright with Dong lynch for the same reason teacher stated earlier on in the thread. I would have much preferred Salad to be lynched and I disagreed with Dong being personally lynched, but I would prefer a townread if mine being lynched over nobody.
At work but will respond more when I can.- Gimm1ck

Apologies for being inactive, very busy in real life.
Will post a later on today. This is also a good opportunity for me to hardclaim town tracker.
Visited Goeff (pardon spelling) last night. He was killed though.
Have some interesting teacher / spartman thoughts I’ll expand on later, but just wanted to claim here.- Gimm1ck

As a policy I do not crumb because scum can pick up on theoretical crumbs and hunt for PRs that way. Especially when I did not get anything really tangible from the result.In post 430, teacher wrote:Gimm1ck did you crumb?- Gimm1ck

Skimming through, I want to explain that I never contradicted my opinion about the Dong lynch.
I did not want Dong lynched, but I wanted anyone lynched over no lynch - even if it is a townread of mine (teacher layed it out nicely some time ago).
I have some time tonight and will get some things out.- Gimm1ck

Right now I am actually town reading Teacher a lot less than I have currently. What I am personally feeling is that he has some townie contributions earlier on in the day, but this one comment really puts me off, especially with my claim - especially considering that if scum are in row b, they have a rolecop; they then know they are in b3. This leads me to believe that teacher is either scum or another town power role.In post 390, teacher wrote:EBWOP: The reasoning -- avoid protective candidates, and seeing friendly neighbor possible claims -- suggests to me that we are in Row B.
Given the knowledge that I am tracker I am likely going to be night killed (or RBed in the case of row a). Jailkeeper should attempt to play as a roleblocker in this case.- Gimm1ck

Chiibiie gives me strong newb town vibes but I'm running like five different forums games elsewhere and don't have all that much time to cherry pick where specifically.
If anyone were to be partners w/ scum!salad my money is on Yoda or spartan (coming soon later).
Aaron gives me strong town vibes.
TT: Gimm1ck, Aaron
T: Chiibiie, Spartan (conditionally)
N: Yoda, teacher
W:
WW; Saladman- Gimm1ck

I am speculating given the only two plausible setups, which are Row2a, Row1b, row3b. These are my reads given the current situation with teacher.In post 494, Chibiie wrote:

Where is that B3 coming from? We only have one PR claim and two VT flips...
If anyone could explain me how people read setups, please do, because all I know is that we are in column B based on teachers post and then your claim. Where did you read someone as Doc? Or are you informed about being healed even when not NK target?
Gimm1ck, is either I am stupid and can't read slots properly or you just gave away 2nd PR and scums will try hard to read who's Doc...
I should read all setups and role PMs- Gimm1ck

Smh my English; clarifying my last sentence in my post before vote - only way teacher can target two people in one night is by being mafia roleblocker or mafia rolecop.
If chibiie isn’t a town power role we can force a confirmed win here by having three confirmed townies (me, Chibiie, other power role) and lynch the other two players (of course, this depends on how power role claims play out).- Gimm1ck

Teacher targeteting both people last night makes me believe he, in fact, did not expect to be tracked. Part of the reason I tracked him was because I was beginning to townread him a lot less, but I still let him know that I was town for this exact reason.In post 531, AaronFrost wrote:@Gimm1ck you're the one who has to hammer here so think carefully about who you vote. teacher rolecopping Chibiie doesn't make him confirmed town and honestly feels like the kind of play teacher would make if he thought he was gonna be tracked. I would've pointed this out yesterday but, well...- Gimm1ck

Haven't been able to give a thorough read through yet but, homework for Aaron
why would teacher lead to believe he was going to be tracked by me? Why do you think they decided chibiie was more likely to be tracked over teacher (given that he is scum from your point of view) - even when I stated I townread chiibiie? - Gimm1ck
