Eh, I think it was reasonable. It's best practice to not suggest a possible answer when you ask for an explanation of something, because you could be signaling to scum exactly how to tell you what you want to hear.

I was aware of this, but I figured the risk was minimal because it's only page 3 anyway, and trying to jump-start discussion was more important.

I mean the key is to make T/T pairings. If flips make a difference in how likely a pairing is to be T/T, then sure, but I'm wary of that because scum have pretty much no incentive to avoid bussing, so associatives will probably not be helpful.

I didn't say it was, but scum may well be indifferent about whether their partners die (particularly if they have one member who's clearly their best shot at endgame).

Don't think so, because if he pairs with someone who has to die before LYLO anyway, the advantage of the IC is nullified.

You're on the right track though. He should probably pair with someone who isn't incredibly townread but could possibly get to that point.

Our wincon isn't keeping individual townies alive, it's keeping town/town pairs alive. IC living to endgame is devastating if their partner is scum.

Well, chalk it up to differing experiences I guess, because I rarely see this (unless you're talking about people tunneling when they really aren't as confident as they claim).

Regardless, I asked for clarification because I was unsure, and clarification I got. We don't really need to dwell on it anymore.

I'm attacking his choice of wording, sure, but not his alignment. Usually in a mafia context the word "attack" means an attack on someone's alignment (there's a reason I don't normally use it), so that may be the source of the confusion.

In post 572, Gentleman 7 wrote:Actually, am I missing something?

When I think about it, isn't this just a case of finding one town lady to pair with the IC, and then...just no one else pairs up at all (Ideally we'd come up with backup pairs to organize at the last second in case scum tries to make a S/S pairing in the last minute). Although this sounds like it's starting to get really unfun.
You would need three T/T pairs to make that work, because otherwise scum makes a S/S pair and then NK's a T/T pair.

Nah, I want their meta to affect the game as least as possible.
Understandable, but a possible problem with that is that then they might get asked to explain something their predecessor did, and they won't be able to but they also won't be able to say why...

Also, in some cases (like this one), it will be obvious what slot was trying to make the slip post.

Some people are good at getting reads early on, YMMV. Definitely we need something substantial to pair over, in any event.

Ive been part of a mafia/mafia lover pair in a lovers game and it was even more stressful and miserable than playing scum usually is. So my thought is they wouldn’t want it, but then someone made a post about pairing off before scum had a chance to pair off together, and now I’m wondering icky original thought makes sense. Is there some reason scum would want to pair with each other here?
Remind me to answer this after pre-dance.

It's pretty hard to explain, I guess just prioritizing content over appearance? And I don't just mean the four word posts, I mean the focus of his posting stream was very much to push out as much content as he could without really explaining it or trying to make it look good.

I mean, yeah, that's absolutely something scum might do to try to avoid giving away inside knowledge. I don't think L5 or G5 are scum but I don't think this specifically rules them out.

G5 I just explained.

L5, I guess it's just that she's spitting out a lot of information in a way that doesn't really seem planned or controlled. It's not that there aren't people who do this as scum but most of the time that carefree, say-what-you-feel attitude is town.

She's clearly a strong player; she's playing solidly, outing reads, asking questions, but there's nothing there that reads as specifically motivated by solving rather than motivated by keeping up the appearance of solving-- it could easily be either one.

Who are you thinking of proposing to, if anyone?
Depends on how people read me, which I really don't have that clear of a picture on. If people feel good about me I'd want one of my townreads (probably L5 or L7); if I'm going to be mislynched anyway, I would not want to drag them down and would instead try to pair with scum/lynchbait.

Explicitly it was only me and L9, though we were both very present in the early pages. Several other people had at least indicated that they didn't scumread her. I think it's reasonable to think of it as consensus.

I basically sidestepped the question by saying "it doesn't matter." I'm not going to decide who to pair with based on whether I'd work well with them-- I'm going to decide based on people's reads.

I don't see why that would be beneficial to do, though.

You're giving up control and handing it to people whose alignments you don't know.

Honestly I have a pretty hard time seeing her as scum. She just seems laid-back and natural in her interactions like she's just trying to contribute and prod wherever she can, rather than trying to project any sort of appearance. It resonates with me because that's a lot like how I play town.

No, I took another look at her ISO and I see what you mean now.

Her posts are just hard to follow on mobile, which is how I do a majority of my playing. So I will freely confess to not having read all of them in real-time.

I still think L5 will eventually be readable though.

I worry that he's waiting to see if his partner is townread enough for a scum-scum pairing that will make them super strong scum pairing that they'll win in that end game stand off.
I mean the point of this game is to pair confident townreads with each other, so like, I only want to pair with someone I confidently townread if people also confidently townread me. It's common sense if you think ahead, but most people just aren't.

And comments like those throw me for a loop because I really don't know where the town as a whole stands on me and that's vital information before I pair.

From the second half of that post, I basically want to know if people are going to try to lynch me or not.

If they can confidently tell me they aren't, I will probably offer to L7.

If you want to play that game, you could assign a POSSIBLE scum motivation to literally any action. That doesn't help anything. What we want are probable motivations, not tinfoil theories.

What do you think is probably the reason I'm holding out?

You think that's the most likely explanation, given that from your POV I have an 80% chance to be town, and scum-scum pairings in this setup are quite rare, and a move like that would require a confident player which I clearly am not?

L5 is the only person who's put an ounce of thought into what will happen after I pair.

Everyone else refuses to do it and is just saying "make a decision already" without telling me how they will respond to what decision I make, as though I don't deserve to know that in order to factor it into my decision.

This is, or should be, the entire point of pairing. Townreads with townreads, nulls with nulls, scumreads with scumreads, then eliminate them generally from the bottom up.

But there's no consensus on me. And nobody is endeavoring to form one. They're trying to use my pair to determine their read on me, which is backwards.

Here, I'll explain what my thoughts have been. That might help work this out.

L2 hasn't been on my radar till recently, specifically. I think L4 is right that she's definitely readable, though I myself have a hard time with that style. If I were to pair with her, it would be
to make sure she can live for a while.


L5 locktowns me and has expressed a lot of interest in solving me. That would make our pair very unified-- we live or die based solely on people's reads of her... unfortunately, I'm in a similar boat as with me in that there doesn't seem to be a consensus on her. I thought she was towny but as I mentioned before, pocketing isn't out of the question. If I were to pair with her, it would be
because she townreads me and won't ever leave the dance.


L6 I haven't read much of, what I've read has been fine, but she seems to be pretty townread. If I were to pair with her, it would be
because people have suggested that pairing.


L7 used to be my strongest townread. She isn't anymore. I'm not going to pair with her. But when I was considering it, it was because
I was most confident she was town.


And finally, a fifth consideration. Without giving away too much, one time I previously played this setup, I had a similar choice, and I went back and forth and back and forth in my head and decided on exactly the wrong option. As previously mentioned, I am bad at this game. And mafia is a team game. So I want help from my team. :]

The funny part is even reading this I can't tell what the read is, but I assume it's town. (If I'm universally scumread I can't imagine this many people would care this much about who I ask.)

But if so many people think I'm town, then why are they pressuring me to pair by doubting my motives, rather than by explaining why expedient pairing is pro-town?

Like that's literally what's happening. The longer I wait, the more people are "omg I'm afraid G3 is scum stalling for info" and as far as I can remember, not a single person has tried to identify for what reason I might be stalling as TOWN and help me work it out.

So if I'm a universal townread like you say then people sure as hell aren't treating me like one.

Why is that something I might fake concern for as scum, but for which I'd be less likely to really have concern for as town?

What are the odds that I don't think leaving is REALLY a big issue for town, but I'm scum and I'm pretending I do, because I think it will bring me some advantage?

I mean town has left the dance and been right in the past, but when I pair with someone, that's not what I'm concerned about, because it's impossible for them to do that.

And yes I was afraid of players leaving due to playstyle differences. I have been scumread for playstyle differences over and over, in almost every game I play. Usually that read works itself out with enough time, but if my partner leaves on me before it can, then they have potentially screwed town over in a major way.

I want L2 and L6 to weigh in on this when they get a chance. To both of you, if I pair with you, how will you go about trying to read me? What will you do if you scumread me? What will you do if I scumread you?

In post 1486, Gentleman 5 wrote:You want to make it to endgame, im starting to think its because youre scum.
It's because of math. For any other pair to make it to endgame, we could lose because the gent in that pair is scum, or we could lose because the lady in that pair is scum.

If my pair makes it to endgame, we lose only if the lady is scum. That straight-up halves our chance of losing.

I'm not saying I necessarily should make it to endgame, but it's the most important thing to consider in deciding who to pair with, because let's be real. Probably none of the other unpaired gents are going to live to endgame. So if I'm NOT making it to endgame, it doesn't MATTER who I pair with. Endgame potential is the most salient factor in my decision.

In post 1510, Gentleman 4 wrote:Perhaps I phrased incorrectly; If you knew you would die before you made it to the end of the game, you would not try to find and match with scum?
Okay, I see where you're going now. I was operating under the assumption that nobody's going to let any of the AFK gentlemen near endgame, which would mean that yes, I would have no incentive to match with scum because everyone not yet matched would die regardless.

If that isn't true, it I guess is somewhat important for me to match with scum, but it's far more important to just identify which other unpaired gentleman is the towniest and match HIM with town. Technically pairing with scum increases the chances of this, but it's equally effective to pair whichever lady I think is scum with a gentleman who also isn't going to make it to endgame.

Certainly, the possibility of a currently unpaired scum lady living to endgame with a currently unpaired gentleman is not the biggest concern of mine right now.
I somewhat understand, but you understand yourself better than anyone else here.
Yeah, you're right. Though I can't say I'm an expert on how people read me. If I were, my scumgame would be a hell of a lot better than it is. :roll:
Right, so does it not follow to pick the partner who you've stated before you have little doubt would stick with you until the end?
Not directly, because getting walked out on isn't the only way to die-- if people don't townread L5 and they want her dead, it doesn't matter that she townreads me.

For the record G4, I disagree with L6; I don't think you're being anti-town right now.

Like I said before, communication is hard. One of the supreme goals of town in a mafia game is to be able to understand how each other are thinking.

In post 1684, Gentleman 4 wrote:@Gentleman 3 walk me through the history of your read on Lady 5. What posts made you change your read on her (if any)?
Can't point to any in particular. It's always been pretty holistic. And it really hasn't changed that much, either.

She's always had a posting style that is similar to what I call "classical obvtown," which is a perfectly reactive, perfectly spontaneous playstyle that very few people are capable of imitating convincingly as scum. (I could probably count the ones I've witnessed on one hand.)

Pretty much all my reading of her has been comparing her against that baseline, to see how closely she aligns with it. She is neither perfectly reactive, nor perfectly spontaneous, but I initially thought that what she was doing was very genuine, though that has dropped off somewhat, and paranoia that she (mis)identified me as a powertown and sought to pocket me has increased. (I still don't think her locktown read on me is justified. I think it never will be. There's a non-negligible chance I could have played exactly the way I am playing as scum.)

She was a strong townread, and now she's a weaker townread, but still a townread. However I think I'm warming up to L6, and several other people I trust have called L6 town, and so I think L6 is a smarter pairing for me. It's not as though L5's townread on me will go away if we don't pair-- although it is overconfident, it's still correct, and if she flips town people are still justified in believing it to a certain extent.

The only others were the mostly absent g7, g1 and the wholly absent g8. If your strategy for end game was so important to you, and I at the time was your strongest townread, or a strong townread, how come that was not something you were vocal about in the earlier pairings? (If you were point them out because I don’t remember). Did you have strong townreads on the remaining gents? If not, why didn’t you consider that oh I’m leaving a strong town read of mine who I think should be at end game for possible scum?
That's a good question.

To be perfectly honest I don't know the answer for sure. But I think I do, and it's this: Nobody ever listens to me.

I'm pretty confident that if I had tried to weigh in on who should pair with whom in the earlier game, unless I was specifically asked, everyone would have ignored me. And honestly, my evidence for that lies in the way I was treated for trying to discuss longterm plans-- people ranged from dismissing me to outright scumreading me for doing it. If I tried to play matchmaker I'd be giving those same types of justifications and you can bet your boots that somebody would go "oh G3 is trying to pair his scumbuddies with strong townies, better not listen to him."

So my focus this game was on, and always has been on, the one thing I can control. That optimal? Surely not. But I'm a low charisma player, and I live with it.

It is a similar interaction between Gent 5 and Gent 6 which could cost Town the game especially if they are all stubborn enough to Thunder dome themselves.
Okay so I finally got here with context, and the L1/L6 interaction really didn't seem more than a mutual suspicion, and those get reversed all the time. Doesn't seem like any thunderdoming will go on between them, at least not from L6's side, so I don't see why this should dissuade me from L6. (L1 seems a bit more hotheaded, but I wasn't gonna pair with her anyway.)

I like both of them about equally, but several people I trust, notably G6, have said that L6 is town. And I also think that L6 and I will have an easier time reading each other than L2 and I would have.
