GIF's avi made me think RC was in this game, and it obviously confused chenn too.
So, are we not RVS'ing?? I am torn between voting DEB (my newest auto-SR default target), Maria (my traditional auto-SR default target) or FL (I'm gonna SR him at some point, so better get it off the way)/ GIF? Hus team is supposed to carry ours, so that's an auto-TR read.
VOTE: DEB
P-edit:
VOTE: GIF
Asks if Ank is Town, and when she confirms he still finds a reason to vote her. I mean, it's not the vote, but the theatrical foreplay for it. Why couldn't you just post #13 as your first post?

You haven't states what you are in that post. Should I worry?In post 68, Flavor Leaf wrote:Do people actually randomize alignment for hoods? I hear that said a lot, but know of absolutely no proof that shows that
Actually, in this players list I would rather try to sort a limited number of players then sheep them to victory. (I won't mention who these players are because then I'd have to respond to the inevitable question "why these names in particular?" which I'd rather not at this time).
@Farkran: Do I know you by any other name?

Stopping @EoP 14
I still want to know if I know Farkan at all (I don;'t even think I have a finished game with any of his team members).
So far I have no confident reads, but -gun to my head- I'd say FL is town (for not showing malicious/manipulative behaviour so far).
I also don't think GIF posts that much is he was scum (for fear of slipping, which he is bound to if he was Scum).

I am not going to engage you about thus read list, mainly because I don't get ANY of your reads, and also because I don't want to be tied in a long "You. No, You." type of argument. I just want to say I expect to soon be added to the nullscum pool because I gave FL an explicit TR (and because of this post too)In post 415, Volpe14 wrote:This game gives me headache so I'm just gonna start walking away from it and honestly maybe it's not all that bad I'm getting SR because it means I probably don't die during nights.
[Volpe] - town
[Elem] - likely town
[Fark, Espresso, GiF] - nulltown
[everyone else] - null
[Nomnom, Chennis, Ank, Vex, MariaR] - nullscum
I don't really care that much anymore, any doubt on my reads ask and I reply when I check-in or something. Don't ask for explanations for all them though, that would be too bothersome right now.
I was coming around Ank/Vex/MariaR as making sense but Chennis/Nom gives me some creepy vibes. Maybe FL.
Out of the null slots, maybe I like DV the most but I'm weak on that.

EoP 19. and that duel isn't over yet. Guys, this is TEAM MAFIA. If I was playing solo I would have just turned on my trolling ability or sat back an didn't five a fuck. But I have a team that put their faith in me to try and win this thing (i.e. this is one of the rare occasions where winning is >>>> having fun for me)
@gooey: What exactly don't/didn't you like about my posting, considering I hadn't exactly said anything at that point?

My team hasn't said much about the main thread yet, but I am leaning thus way too. Volpe is too "out there" for him to be Scum in this players list.In post 489, GuyInFreezer wrote:Ok I don't have much time atm but basically our group as a collective thinks that volpe is town and lynching our townread is very bad idea.

Go look at Mafia a la mode. I’m not level headed like that.
Now go look at any of my arguments with RC. I’m always completely level headed town, at least for the first 35 pages of it.
I’m just a level headed.

Oh, I think I got it. I am seeing posts from dave more often than I'm used to. None of them is scummy by itself, but overall it all feels like "hiding behind someone else" rather than doing his own push/analysis. Still not a strong lead, but a lead none-the-less.

Actually, same question to you, but I don't know who your team is (I'll check later).In post 608, Volpe14 wrote:I also believe it's healthy to lynch nomnom because of that if anyone is wondering.
She like, clearly knew the implication but still tried to shade it.
I really think it's something scum!nomnom would do.
And the reason I ask is because your teams should know more here than us, since you probably tell them what exactly is happening in the hood too, with timestamps and all.

Actually, I am with chenn on this one. If there's scum in Volp/FL/nom I'd say it's nom. If there's scum in GIF/Volpe/nom it'd still be nom. That is not saying I have a confident SR on nom, but I TR the other 3 more.In post 852, Ankamius wrote:and if there's scum in it, then it's gif*

First and foremost: WHAT'S WITH POST 606 GETTING AUTOMATICALLY QUOTED IN MY POSTS? I've had to remove the quote for the 4th/5th time now!In post 1005, Farkran wrote:Glad we got some content of maria which looks of value so far.
Maria/A50/gammagoey/anyone else, can you talk more about daves? I notice that he is building up wagon potential, but i fail to see why. Can you read first paragraph of 834 and tell me why i am wrong? So far it looks like all your daves reads are gutbased, but when more than 4 people are gut-scumreading someone that i don't, i get the feeling i am either missing something or dealing with scum.
As for 834, the post you are referencing (by dave) is totally NAI. It could easily have come from Scum!him trying to sling mud at Town!FL all the same. Like, that's EXACTLY what I'm saying. He is NOT making stances, but is rather using pointers and testing the waters to see where he should be pushing.

That's the problem. I usually end up SRing FL (or at least paranoid about him) regardless of his alignment. So, when I say I'm not ponged by him here it really is an exception to mist -if not all- our previous encounters (except for that one time we actually rolled Masons. I didn't SR him there!)In post 1098, Volpe14 wrote:A50 what's your history with reading Flavor.

"Talk to the hand" is all I'm going to say here. You read my ISO and you make whatever conclusions you want to make out of it. Just don't talk to me directly for the rest of the game.In post 1114, Gammagooey wrote:but also you mentioned you were townreading FL - do you also townread volpe? Or are you just trying to get him to think in a similar headspace you're in regarding FL-town? (or did you ask this for another reason I'm not thinking of)
FTR: I hate old-fart semi-retired players coming out from their tombs and trying to impose their outdated measures from whatever prehistorical era they've lived in on our modern game. It's smug and arrogant to say the very least, and I don't want to get banned over it, so park your vote on me but don't talk to me.

I'm intentionally limiting the knowledge of the math I'm using to those who already know it, which may or may not include scum but certainly is a subset of the player list as long as nobody goes flapping their gums about it.

Again, you could've tried to explain that earlier so that guys like myself -who falsely pretend to know you well enough- would not be taken aback with the sudden change of posting style.In post 1130, davesaz wrote:I just don't know if it helps scum more than town to go into this. Scum already know the actual distribution. It might help town to know the theoretical limits of the distribution but explaining it might give scum a roadmap on how to fake their way around it.

If we know a hood, and there is scum in that hood, it's mathematically superior to lynch that scum than it is to lynch an unknown from an unknown hood. Notice the conditionals there. This principle applies only if we know the hood members, and only if one of them is scum. Any town lynch from any hood containing scum harms us badly. Mislynches are extremely bad unless scum started out insanely weak.
I would need to look back to see if I screwed up what I wrote when I said I'd like to lynch scum from that hood, or if the conditionals didn't stick.
Pedit: Oh, a shot at bragging rights. Fine, I'm not being obtuse, I really am a computer scientist / mathematician with more than 50 patents (rough equivalent to about 3 dissertations worth of stuff though I haven't bothered to get the pretty heavy degree).
OK, dave might be town after all.

A counter argument though: Scum already knowing the distribution (and abilities of their own hoods) are going to either wipe out the other hoods or gain control of the important abilities of hoods they're in. You're not exactly denying them much with your approach, and it could result in the loss of 3 townies (id they all are) while Scum still take advantage of their knowledge elsewhere.
But, that's just me brainfarting towards my sleeping time, so don't mind me.

@gooey: I'm sorry I blasted, but I did indeed take that "no shit. Sherlock" as an insult. It felt as if you were mocking me for bringing up DEB's non-existence (and I know he can be more than chatty if he wanted to).
As for Velxen, Elements (and others) theyhave beenmentioned in some readlists. I may not agree with the reads themselves, but the fact someone got a read on the slot is good enough at this point. DEB on the other hand is the only slot nobody's talking to/about at all.

@gooey: Since you're at it. could you please explain -in more details- wjat it is exactly that you don't like about my posts? I am puzzled, because the first mention of it came at a time I wasn't even posting for real yet, and it was carried out to when I started posting and providing reads.
I currently have Volpe, chenn & FL as strong TRs, but I also have TRs on Ank, Deasvail, GIF, and -most recently added- davesaz.
Everyone else I am not yet sure of, some due to lack of enough content to judge by, some die to paranoia (prime example: Maria), and some due to not knowing them to begin with (You know, sometimes what is a scumtell for one person is actually a towntell for another).

Yup. That's what I'm saying. Not a singleIn post 1165, davesaz wrote:Pedit: I believe I said that I had noticed DEB's absence. I haven't given a readslist...readon the slot. Someone said Volxen was Town, and I didn't know why, but that's a start. Nobody said DEB was anything. Hence the poke.
Also worth noting (after I finally decided to check) that nobody on Volxen's team is a Scum genius. Nancy, Auro & Aris are all better Town players (well, Aris is better 3P, but still..) which means we -at least- don't need to worry about his team coaching him. DEB has Titus in his team. Enough said.

1- Has it ever occurred to you that I am Town!hunting instead of Scum!hunting? This maybe the reason why you think my SRs are "hesitant" because I am mainly poking and observing certain slots to see if I can trust them.In post 1177, Gammagooey wrote:
I didn't really like your opening to the game - your #15 (https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11477725) has you voting GIF for a semi-serious reason that I have a hard time parsing whether it's just supposed to be a funny RVS poke or as close to a 'real' reason to vote someone as you're gonna find on page 1, and your other two posts (thinking the game would be relaxed and complaining to GIF to change his avatar) seem like they're bouncing between unserious and serious in a way that just doesn't feel super natural to me.In post 1164, Almost50 wrote:@gooey: Since you're at it. could you please explain -in more details- wjat it is exactly that you don't like about my posts?

More recently, I don't like that you seem really hesitant when mentioning scumreads - your #1010 mentioning dave is qualified with it being a 'lead' instead of more plainly stating that you think the feeling you get from him of "hiding behind someone else" is scummy and your nom scumread is only in comparison to other people involved in the conversation/neighborhood in your #1093 (https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p11484825).
Like it is still early game to be fair but it feels like what I expect lurky scum to do - to not make big waves by scumreading people and pushing them (since they'd have to start posting a lot more if they got pushback on it and step up a bit into the spotlight) and just bring up townreads instead.
2- Please go read any 3 games of mine (just pick 3 random games) and see how I start the game. My start here is totally NAI regardless of my role, my alignment, or even the players list.
3- Another point that bugs me is I feel you are trying to shut me off. Silence me. You accused me of being a lurker/not posting enough, but when I started posting you still attacked me andignored the other lurking slots, and even defended one (DEB).
4- "it feels like what I expect lurky scum to do". Now tell me why DEb ot Volxen or <insert a name of a low poster of your choice> is NOT what you expect lurky scum to do.
5- And this is in no way a defence, but you really don't want me to spam, and I had decided not to on TM. If I wanted to be trolly, I probably would have had like 100+ posts by now, and 80% of them would have been sarcasm and/or playing with words. That would not have created a healthy environment for this game, so I decided to tone it down and be a bit more serious. (Just ask the people who know me how I can be a pain when I want to "have fun". But I already stated Winning >>> Having fun in the competition). Afain, you can ifnore this point if you decide to respond as it's not directly game-related, but more of a "personality introduction".
Also, one of my TRs in compromised (due to team feedback) but I won't say who or why at this point.

Update: vex, fl, and nom, and maybe elements are all trs (by skitter)
My comment: Gosh, I must be blind. I dunno why non or elements are town here, but I trust skitter. Vex is a weak TR of mine. Like, very weak. FL is the only one I trust to be town on that list.
@Gooey: The dave progression read is already documented in my most recent posts. Ank because she's being vocal and has the guts to oppose others reads with some confidence. Deas I recall liking one of his earlier partial readlists. (769). There are also some reads that maybe influenced by (a) something a teammate of mine said in the TM PT, or (b) a consensus of my stronger TRs in the game.

You bloody reading a spoiler that's marked TOTALLY IRRELEVANT proves you are closely following the game, so why are you not responding to anything else or trying to poke anyone?? I find it hard got someone who claims not to be reading the game to go .. "This is totally irrelevant. COOL.. Let me read it AND comment on it".In post 1207, Elements wrote:My team might not know you well enough, but we are all experienced stalkers.

Who are you calling scum that are piking on you specifically?In post 1292, nomnomnom wrote:
I told you this yesterday.In post 1291, Volpe14 wrote:Ehh people jumping on nomnom is giving me the creeps bois
People are waiting for one person to jump in, then scums will profit to pile on and I will be history in a few posts. That's always how it goes. I did tell you that the fact that nobody voted me back then is weird, and that's why.
I am a mislynch bait in this gamestate and you should know this already.
Note: The reason I'm not voting you myself is skitt's read on you. I am leaning Scum on you, but she is leaning Town. On D1 I will trust skitter's reads over my own. She only got to page 20 or so though.

I still want to poke the lower posters sooner than later. It is usually the case that some scum are active and blending, while some take a back seat and watch while the more active layers tear each other apart. Usually the active scums are the ones with character and can produce content and even take some pressure without falling apart. The silent ones are the ones more prone to slip or break under pressure, so safer to keep quiet for as long as they can.
We can always come back to where each of us is right now in like 96 hours, but for the duration of those 96 hours we should all be trying to force the low posters to come play the game so we have a better idea on the whole thing not just the players in the spotlight.
Now can we build wagons on the silent ones with the threat that a wagon may actually lead to a lynch if they don't provide a good reason not to?
