Hey!

I'm back on the site after a few years away.

Because of my absence, I'm a bit rusty, and I'm not sure I understand the logic of hardclaiming a Mason so early. Would someone mind explaining that to me?

Until I have a better understanding of that

VOTE: Saudade
Out of all the reactions or the reactions to my claim this one feels the odd one out
Why is that? What about my post feels off to you?

Additionally, care to explain what the logic behind your claim (assuming it's true) is?

Indeed, based on post 48, Riabi apparently still thinks Saudade may actually be a mason, and is still voting for him. :lol:
I don't think he's a mason. I'm legitimately trying to figure out what the logic behind making that claim so early is.

On that note, I've found at least one game where he did the same thing, and was indeed a mason, and while he won that game, his claim didn't seem to help his side. So, I'm looking for insight into the thought process.

In post 71, Churros wrote: Riabi why you think there's any reason other than as a joke for Saudade making that early claim?
Maybe there isn't any other reason. This is why I'm asking. I'm trying to figure out if the meta has changed on this site such that a claim like that makes sense.

The tone of your question seems to suggest that you don't feel there is a good reason to make such a claim. Is this correct?

Because if he is town, it seems like a dumb thing to say.

My vote is currently staying on him because he appears to be avoiding direct questions about what he's doing, and I think that's anti-town.

So right now are you leaning towards him being scum or a ‘bad’ townie?
More or less. I think I'd use 'unhelpful' rather than 'bad', however.

What is there to interact with? His argument against me is that I was the third vote on what he called a shitwagon, and then later stated that that vote was awkward without posting any reasoning about why he thinks that. That's super weak.

Other than that, he's mostly made a bunch of off-topic posts about a game that he doesn't name and churros. There's not really much to say to all that.

What about your reaction to the wagon on Battle Mage? How you feel about that?
He's null for me right now, there's just not enough out there for me to make a read.

If not, I'll repeat Luca's question that you didn't really answer, would you mind pointing out a few posts you feel are most scummy?

Isn't this a bit overly self-concious? Going with the "If i was scum i would..." conjecture already?
I'm not sure I agree with you Norwe, mostly because, I think profii is right in that post. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to do that as scum.

That said, Luca's argument that he's half-assing this game does hold water for me, and if he's got more, it would be nice to see it.

Really? Why? At first, I was asking about the site meta. I'm not going to do the literal hours it would take to investigate something like a site meta when I could just ask y'all who, presumably, are far more up on the current site meta. Whereas it takes about 20 seconds to scroll through one page of post and count how many folks posted on that page.

I'll be back in the morning folks - try not to lynch me in the meantime!
You really haven't posted that much. Some of what you posted looks town-ish in iso, some of what you've posted looks scum-ish in iso. None of it gives me any strong reads yet, so, you're null for me. Is it really so strange to you that I would null read someone so early in the game?

Profii notes

In short, I'm pretty convinced by Luca's decimation of Proffi. His early posts were very friendly and generous on the town-reads. Voted for me because my join date (2007) indicated I was new. No hint of any suspicion of anyone until the heat got turned up - every other post had been defensive and trying to avert suspicion. From post 150, appears he has basically given up, which seems really premature. If he is scum, certain he is being bussed hard, otherwise he'd have a bit more fight.

I took the bait in proffi's post 195 and read a game in which he was town (non-mason) - Mini Normal 2107.
Much more engaged in scumhunting from the outset, obviously thinking about behaviour of other players, no hesitation in throwing shade, and trying to join the dots between everybody. Conspicuous pro-town behaviour. Also interesting is a bit later in game, when he gets some heat (like here) - he eventually does become defensive like here, but it isn't immediate and instinctive, and he resists for a while because (as he explains) he doesn't want to distract from his own genuine scumhunting by just getting into a debate with people who suspect him.

Also I have to share this from Proffi in Mini Normal 2121:
"I dont like when people sit on day 1 and complain that they cant find anything scummy as it's usually scum being incapable of faking a read." :lol:
Yeah, this mounting argument against Proffi is pretty damn compelling in my mind, and scanning through the game Mage mentioned here... I have to agree, this doesn't look like the same person.

UNVOTE: Saudade Not because my read has changed here, I still think he should be lynched. But, with all the evidence against Profii, I feel like the right move is to

OK well the answer is, I am not entirely sure. There are 10 other players in the game I could focus on besides profii and Una and I expect to change my focus frequently going forward. Furthermore, if I have suspicions of players it is hardly to my benefit to pre-state them as you are requesting I do and if you think I am town I don't even see why you would want me to do that. At this point I have a town read on you but I think you have a scum read on me.
I had you as leaning town until this post. Isn't the entire point of the game to discuss who we have suspicions of and why? If you were to place all the players in this game on a spectrum from for-sure-scum to for-sure-town, can you tell us who would be closest to for-sure-scum, even if they aren't very close?

If I understand your argument against me, it's basically "he doesn't have a wagon on him, so he must be scum." Is that about right?

I mean, obviously, scum are either in the active posters or not (or both). But, what makes you say it's a 2/1 ratio? This whole line of reasoning seems like scum trying to look town without having to actually come up with any reads.

Ok, but, that "2/1 ratio" bit is oddly specific. Where does that come from?

Ok, but, that "2/1 ratio" bit is oddly specific. Where does that come from?
It’s just a guess. You don’t find it likely all 3 scum are lurkers do you?
No, but I also don't necessarily find lurking/posting infrequently to be alignment indicative.

Early game Luca irked me

Right now I'm just nodding my head vigorously

I recommend to include Riabi on the list as well, his Saudade read isn't consistent, it kinda fluctuates from "must lynch" to "I want him to talk" with no reason.
It's not actually inconsistent. I think he's anti-town, and that's enough reason in my book to lynch someone early, regardless of alignment. That said, that doesn't mean I won't also vote to lynch someone I find worse/more scummy.

In post 561, Zantetsu wrote: Riabi you've been popping in with very noncommittal statements all game.

You need to post a reads list and give some real original thoughts for your reads.
I don't agree that all my posts are noncommittal, but, asking for a reads list is a fair question --

Likely town

Zantetsu - Seems like he's genuinely trying to solve the game, asks what I think are good questions.
BM - He seems antagonistic, but, to me it seems like he's trying to get reactions in an effort to figure out who's getting defensive.

Lean Town

72offsuit - Like many others, not a lot of content, but, what is there is quality, and seems to actually be contributing to the game.
Luca - Appears to be trying to figure the game out as well.

Null

Looker - Not much content, clearly not trying to actually find scum. Can't tell though if that's because they are actually scum, or just lazy.
Egix - Same as looker
Saudade - Who knows with this guy? He's either lazy, scum, or a troll who's just here to annoy. I can't tell.

Lean scum

Churros - Sure, he's posted a lot, but again, I think he might be trying too hard. I don't like that he came back to the game after a delay and appears to have read/commented on every post as he read them, rather than to absorb everything in context before sharing his thoughts. In my experience, very rarely is scum found in a single post, but, it's found in an entire body of work, and when you have the advantage of seeing several pages of posts at once, I think it's prudent to look at everything before posting. Sure, this might be a style thing, but, considering that this seems to have led to at least a couple mistakes, it feels like this is scum trying to look town.
Una - For as much as I don't agree with everything Churros posted, his case against Una seems sound.
Norweggian - For reasons discussed earlier

Likely scum

Anotora - their ISO is just weak, very little content in there, it feel like they're trying to slip under the radar as much as possible.
Profii - He went on a streak of decent/town looking posts for a bit after he got waggoned, but I still don't buy it. I think that was him trying REAL HARD to not get lynched, because his lynch would mean 33% of his team is dead.

What the? If any player is *not* contributing to the game it's 72offset. Check his ISO. He hasn't posted anything meaningful in days and the last post he made with any content was kind of shredded by Luca and he hasn't even responded.
I'm referring to posts like and . Yeah, they're old, and he's not done much in a while, but, as I've stated already, I don't find post frequency, in and of itself, to be alignment indicitave.

I assume this jab is because I tunneled you and called you a weak player. Okay. Fair.
It's because your ISO was and still is, weak.

Let's start over. I'll assume you're competent and I'll posit that you can't be wrong on both.

  • @Churros: Scumread myself. Hilarious.
    • If "Anotora/Zant/BP/Looker can't be all town. Ever.", let's figure out who is what.
VOTE: Anotora
And here's a perfect example of what I mean, you're voting Anotora based on a post that has no reasoning behind it, and doing so without any reasoning of your own.
Do you have an actual reason for your vote?

Norwe does make a good point, Im not seeing a lot of upside from a fake claim from BM at this point....

That said, I definitely bumped on the post when I read it, and something about it definitely feels off.

BM, is there any chance you have any corroborating evidence? Like, any chance you breadcrumbed your role or anything like that?

I do think it's a valid question, and in a game where all scum players are still alive, I think the idea of only the person who's under the most suspicion being the only one to have to answer questions is silly. Town should be trying to find all scum simultaneously.

Gives me some pause. Norwe is pushing REALLY hard to lynch Zan now, and Norwe, while your case against him isn't bad, I also don't think it justifies a turbo lynch right now, and it's certainly not air tight.
Hell, I believe there are still players in this game who've not posted in D2, aren't there?

Maybe let's take our foot off the gas just a bit.

UNVOTE: Looker
Still completely useless, IMO, but, without a doubt not the scummiest player today.

Currently, I'm flip flopping in my head about whether or not Norwe or Zan is the best lynch today. I think the case against Zan has been well stated, and doesn't need repeating here. Norwegian just seems too eager to move quickly today, and I wonder if that's not just scum finding a good (fake) case against a townie and trying to get a fast lynch going before it can be too closely examined. I look forward to hearing from Zan again, as well as the others who haven't posted today.

The case has been well stated but i'm trying to move ahead too quickly? From my POV we've caught scum and had all the discussion in the world regarding it.

One curiousity regarding you, apparently if you believe Zantetsu is town then your natural next step is lynching me? Why? Battle Mage made the claim. Why would you lynch a suspected teammate over who would be from your POV, the actual scum?
I didn't say I believe Zan is town, at least, not in day 2. But, I'm also not certain he's scum, at least, not as certain as you seem to be.

And I guess that's what I'm getting at with my belief that you're going too fast. I'm not 100% certain he's scum, and we literally have not even heard from everyone in Day 2. Maybe there's something we're missing, maybe there's a counter claim from one of the slots that we've not heard from that could throw a wrench into everything. So, I don't understand why you're rushing so much under those circumstances. There's no need in my mind for town to not wait a few days and make sure we have all the info.

...
Why would you pit Norway vs Zantetsu as opposed to Zantetsu vs Battle Mage?
While I'm not saying this is the case, let's assume we're wrong about Zan for a moment. It's possible in that case that BM is still town and just making a bad read, and if that's what's going on, Norway's insistence that we lynch NOW is concerning to me.

From this:
In post 807, NorwegianboyEE wrote:If Zantetsu and Luca Blight are scums then the most likely teammate is Egix96.

Solve= Zantetsu/Luca Blight/Egix96
Lynch in this order.
Zantetsu, if scum -> lynch Luca Blight, if scum -> lynch Egix96.
to this:
NorwegianboyEE wrote:If Zantetsu flips scum i’d take another look at that Riabi guy. His interractions recently has been awful. And reflects an unnatural mindset.
What happened to your confidence? What happened to what appeared to be near certainty that the game was solved? If your reads were so certain, someone simply asking you to slow down shouldn't shake that certainty.

Yeah, such as another PR magically showing up to save the day when we've already have 5 PR's out in the open. Or perhaps one of the lurkers showing up to buss their teammate?
I think you're just being LAMIST for the sake of it by holding back an essential lynch that has no reason to be delayed any further.
Or, I'm just trying to exercise a bit of caution in case we're being lied to by some of the claimed PRs.

Ok, thank you. I get that now... I agree then, the likelyhood that Looker is town just shot up a whole lot. But, that doesn't confirm your alignment at all, correct? You could still be scum.

That was from the start of the previous dayphase. You didn't give it a moment's thought then, so why now? Other than the convenience of an excuse to vote for me. Nor does it give a justification for voting for me (it's an example of why we wrongly lynched Eve yesterday). :facepalm:
But we have more info now, included in that info is the fact that that Eve wasn't scum. Also, since you so rightly pointed out that the remaining scum is likely a PR, that kinda makes you more likely to be scum than me.

No, I didn't get a message from Egix/Oka.
