How do you even make the second scummiest person hammer?
err, something something Town consensus, "hammer or you'll be the lynch tomorrow". if memory serves, one person ended up not wanting to hammer because "no i townread them i'm not gonna hammer", we lynched them the next day, and they were scum, so it kinda worked?

-D
If they get lynched tomorrow, what do you about the lynch on that day? Do you ask the next scummiest person (not on the wagon) or do you just not lynch? Wouldn't it be better just to pivot to the person who refuses immediately?

I'd be substantially more willing to give leeway to someone that goes "I'm townreading this person for A B C reasons and I think the case against them doesn't fly for X Y Z reasons" and actually makes an effort to dissuade the lynch onto someone else they find scummier.

@DKKoba, I don't really get what you're saying about Holden? Do jokes count as WIFOM? and why am I not in the same level of consideration? Heck, I was the one who brought up the two of us being scum together.

As for the PR talk, I'm going to sit out. I took a semester of clowning at community college, all this math is way above my head. I'll just go with whatever the town consensus is.

I'm holding judgment. There's not enough on Holden to justify a scum read for me atm. My goal is to vote scum. Yeah quite surprising, I know.
But you went out of your way to announce you keeping your RVS vote on them. Were you scum reading them for doing something awkward? And how do you mean there isn't enough on Holden? What do you want from them?

Yes, I think I do like moving my vote around.
You've been asking game progressing questions, so I don't believe you're in need of pressure. ceejay hasn't had an independent thought yet, so I believe he could do with some!
Good luck with that. I hate independent thoughts. I like looking at other people's reads and ideas and support them, or maybe refute them.

Yeah I mostly just sheep.
How do you determine a good candidate to sheep? Is based on their arguments, or having a prior town read on them?

With your vote still on Roses does that mean you're not convinced by their defense, if so why not? What does it mean for your strategy when the person you sheep moves their vote? Are you just waiting for another argument you like?

In post 302, Kilgamayan wrote:Quick q between work and other stuffs I gotta do

@Tuxedo Mask: Why is your vote presently on ceejay? I don't necessarily object to voting for him, but you put that vote down in and a lot has happened since then. How has your case evolved since then?
The game may have progressed but CJ has just returned. So I still have questions for them, which has, unfortunately, been slower to get through than I hoped. But their votes staying on Roses also just feels weird, and as I asked them if their playstyle is sheep based, then it's odd they would remain invested in a vote longer than the person they sheeped. Their playstyle also seems easy for scum, so I'm hoping to pin down a more through criteria of why they sheep when they sheep, so I can better read them later.

Aside from CJ I'm just running into the issue I having too many town reads at the moment, and need to do something about that. Aswell the other person I'm questioning Dkkoba has still yet to answer what I've asked of them, despite rephrasing it three times to try and get something from them. I'm starting to get frustrated at this point, and bouncing off this game.

Yes, it does, thank you. It also tells me I was way off with what I thought you meant. So I do have follow up questions. The puts lots of things into perspective.

@Dkkoba
Is that an okay to get your attention when skimming?
1: Do you apply similar logic to town reads? Or should those be taken at face value?
2: Do you have a completed scum and town game I can read?

@Holden, Dkkoba is from Town of Salem. Now I don't have much experience there, I do have experience playing forum mafia with people from there. They tend to have a hyper-aggressive and brute force playstyle, to basically beat down the other players into doing what they want. So hopefully that helps with the question you asked Kilga.

Also, @Holden what's your read of Dkkoba? I thought I was following it, but your last couple posts make me feel the conclusion I reached was incorrect.

And sorry about the Town of Salem versus epic Mafia, don't know how I screwed it up. @Holden I agree the chat to forum Mafia doesn't seem to have many transferable skills, and I completely forgot you mentioned past experience. However, I still maintain that many chat Mafia players play the way Dkkoba does in Forum Mafia. I don't think your assumption that they should change their playstyle really matters.

In post 227, HoldenGolden wrote:
immediately after DkKoba voted for them. I'm not going to defend DkKoba at length, that's for them to do, but I will say that I thought it was obvious why they dropped their spat with Holden, and Holden didn't seem to hold(en) it against them (see 140).
I can agree on why they dropped it, but what do you think of the tonal aspects of how he dropped his push on me? I have a conflicted read on Phoenix Human Rights hence my change in approach in the latter half of 140.

Also ironically the "Holden" part of the name is a pun reference. Sadly it's a Poker one though.

In post 229, Kilgamayan wrote:@N3R (can I call you this?): Flat-out lurking is certainly physically easier, but I think it's also much more likely to get noticed and called out, which is why I personally prioritize looking for minimal effort ahead of no effort.

@Holden: I think DkKoba's frustration reads as genuine. I used to be the same way philosophically about ED1 scumclaiming, and I know people that still are, so I can sympathize with the throwing up of the e-hands at the realization that no one else in the game was buying what they were selling when they thought they had something substantial.
There is a sense of genuineness coming from him, but that came afterwards where he admitted to doing soft pushes that were worth nothing.

As someone who used to be that way, did you escalate that quickly to assumptions like over defensiveness in who responded to your pushes? That's my main gripe with his posts is I feel the quickness of his escalation of frustration is off along with the AI charged language.

Now right now i am in passive mode but if i get angered i do start going off on people i have tonal issues with, etc. But in a vig setup i have to hold offbc i know that one fool who thinks aggression =scum is going to be a cool and good vig
I've never understood why people equate any form of aggression with being scum as it is quite the useful tool for townies depending on who they want to pressure.

There is a difference between town vs scum aggression though.

Ah, I did not realise clidd had responded with a Sherlock gif. Is there a reason you unvote before voting in the same post?
because i said "

In post 203, Kilgamayan wrote:@Night 3 Roses: I think the post volume difference does matter in that a higher post volume comes across as an active attempt to look good whereas the lower post volume does not. To be sure, not contributing is generally a scummy thing, but I am more wary of someone that's actively trying to look good without actually contributing than someone's that not trying to look good while also not actually contributing.

I will admit I assumed you (or your slot, or whatever term is appropriate) didn't like ceejay or myself not because of any scumhunting justification, but simply because we're voting for you. Aside from Hoctac being unhappy with ceejay for not being original, no one else has seemed to have a problem with the nature of the pressure being applied to you, so I figured it was a safe assumption. I've seen so many players over the years do it, so.
you're assuming i'm trying to look good. i'm well aware of what "active lurking" is. i was posting because i felt like posting, and at the time what i felt like "actually contributing" either a thing that could've been ai was already dismissed as non-ai, or my question got ignored.

i can tell (or at least i like to believe i can...) the difference between good votes and bad votes on my slot, simply disliking/scumreading someone because they dare vote against me would be silly. i think your arguments are bad but they seem to be genuine. (un)fortunately ico is currently having some sorta holiday so i can't exactly bug him right now to ask what he thinks.

I like the
"your reasons for suspecting me look bad, but I think you're town"
mentality. It's the kind of thing that I find myself applying in every game as town.

I feel that a scum mentality is more inclined to apply omgus in this situation on the pretext that the accuser is acting in bad faith
.
Where is your town lean on Phoneix Human Rights coming from? Although it requires flipping the roles accuser and defendent, he expressed among his posts I was acting in bad faith to why he asked. Is the logic invaildied when reversed in your PoV?

Was the eariler remark about him toning down his aggression to avoid being NK by scum a reference to a previous game?

So these posts all felt like you had a gut town read of Dkkoba, and were then branching from there to question all the other players based around Dokkoba/your read.

Then this post in response to CJ.

It sort of out of nowhere implies you've been scum reading every one that complained about you jokingly claiming.

It's less that they should change their playstyles and that the differences between the two will give raise to a more nuanced playstyle independent from the previous experiences if that makes sense
I'm not sure I follow. This still feels like you're equating something that would be good to happen with something that WILL happen. Sorry.

@Holden the start of my quote is 227. I didn't miss it, it is there. That was there because it felt like the start of your town read progression. Though thank you for clearing up the comment you made to CJ.

This post really doesn't sit right with me. It feels super disingenuous and misrepresentative. If you refuse to read previous games then don't, I have no clue how that applies to Clidd doing it.

Making this strange accusation, and then not being able to back it up is also weird. If you can't point to one read you disagree with, why would you have a problem with their methods of getting acclimated to the game? Clidd hasn't even pushed anything yet. And yes, I know you can't know for sure if Clidd is right or wrong, but if I saw someone using logic I disagree with to reach a conclusion I disagree with I'd be able to point that out. Your attack of their playstyle feels more like paranoia than anything.

were u just looking for a reaosn to vote me ?or just looking to gamesolve?
No, I've been trying to sort you all game. At first, I felt your push on Holden was Town. Mostly due to how unselfconscious it was. I don't think scum would have doubled down on that push for as long as you did. Then your back off read as genuine. After that the rest of your posts kept coming, and I realized it was just your playstyle and NAI at all. The difficulty to get you to answer a question was NAI as well, so I had to keep pushing and even giving you the benefit of the doubt. However, I don't see the town mindset for wanting an experienced and skilled player to toss their playstyle away. And your inability to back up that statement without deflecting sealed the vote.

I know you answered my dumb questions, that's why I voted you. I disliked the answer. You still don't have anything to point to that shows Clidd's methods are wrong. What posts do you believe make me voting you now disingenuous?

I am serious, I'm still waiting for you to show hypocrisy in my train of thought, and to show a substantive reason to change their entire playstyle on your account. As you're not, and not even engaging with that point, I am scum reading you.

Good luck with that. I hate independent thoughts. I like looking at other people's reads and ideas and support them, or maybe refute them.

Uh isn't DkKoba only expressing his opinion on the effectiveness of meta reads on players? How is his disagreement towards clidd something that scum would do? Couldn't town also disagree with meta reads being an effective way to sort players?
Dkkoba is they.

The way they express their opinion on the effectiveness of meta doesn't sit right with me. They complain about how they don't want to do it when they're trying to do is make another player who heavily uses meta stop. They also frame it as all Clidd does is use meta, and take no other factors into consideration, ignoring the 'context' that multiple players including Clidd have already discussed.

You take that for my original vote, and then add how they refuse to engage with me. They ignore the points I raised, and kill me disingenuous, while not demonstrating my town read of them when asked. Then they pivot to saying, I think TMI? So I hope they elaborate today.

Either way my greater point is that if it's to Clidd or to me, DKkoba isn't helping us better understand or furthering discussion on their part or in the game as a whole. They are shutting down discussion which is not a town trait.

I explained in the next sentence what they should be looking for but im not policing them.

regardless what about any of this is scummy to u
The next sentence ignores things that Clidd has already stated. You're still trying to explain and control someone ELSE's playstyle, and thinking you know how to Meta hunt (when you don't like it) more than someone who does it often.

I think it's anti-town. To me anti-town seems more likely to be explained by a scum mindset than a town one.

Because you're trying to shut down discussion rather than encourage it. Stomping your feet and yelling for people to not play how works for them is not something I see helping town.

Right, again, Clidd had already addressed, and it's been addressed a few times since. Why do you think you're the only one taking this set up into account? Besides we're still trying to find scum and town, don't think people are more like to play their alignment than their power?

#42 What were you hoping to accomplish with it?
#66 and #69 (Nice) are both pretty weak, the joke feels forced as well as the vote, he also ignores the posts Koba is putting out.
#135 What about the interact reads as TVT? How was Holden talk passed, Koba? I feel they were actively trying to engage.
#176 Can you answer this now?
#263What about that makes Hoctac town?
# 472 is referring to the end game of Newbie 1996, and I'd like Holden to elaborate on what he means here. From what I'm reading I disagree with his assessment, as my question was about how it's best for town me to respond to long-form accusations. Which isn't something that has come up this game.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... start=2300 ( I tried to make this look nice and failed.)
#536 Why are you voting Koba? What has changed to make you okay semi engaging them? Were you hoping for a reaction with a naked vote?

Read list:

Town
HoldenGolden: Has a natural and easy-going way about their posts, that feel good tonally. They're also engaged, asking lots of questions and getting lots of content out there.
Roses: Much the same, but not nearly as active. It's also a bit hard to pin them down to being a hydra, for example they don't seem to agree on a read for DKKoba. What is your read on Koba? It seems town, but your response to #364 seems to be against that.
Hoctac: It also feels natural, and their strange questions and more focus on humor seem to be playstyle indictive rather than anything else. Their recent burst of activity looks good too, though I disagree with their take on Roses.
Clidd: I'd like to see more from them, but what I have I like. They're always a very open player, and I follow the logic that they are laying out. There discussion about Koba with Holden specifically looks very town motivated from both of them.
Kilga: I've not seen anything I dislike from them, but they've been pretty passive. They get a nulltown lean. Who's your top scum read at the moment?
CJ & Enomis: I think there is a good chance of scum here, it would explain the weird purgatory game state. With scum being very passive and under the radar. However, having just completed Newbie 2001 I'm willing to wait on Enomis here. Cj on the other hand has been much active, but not saying anything.
@CJ You say you have sheep playstyle, but there have been multiple pushes from players, what about them hasn't appealed to you? Why would you go for Enomis over anyone else?

I feel like this whole game has just a conga-line of players waiting for other players to respond. Dkkoba retrospective comes next.

So I started this reread to figure out where I had gone so off track with my read of Dkkoba.
After reading the game over, I have found these posts.

I think #59 - 61 shows a fundamental disagreement of how to use votes.
#93 Feels like a genuine attempt to solve and win the game outright for town. I understand that effort is NAI, but effort in this way, especially after their first high effort attempt was proven faulty shows a very protown motive.
#98 Pings me, Koba hasn't even given Kilga time to respond to their vote on them. Instead, jumping onto Holden wagon, even though the reason applies more to Roses and me. What changed between post 73 and 98?
#303 What are the other things that pinged you about Kilga?
#315 really helps put them into perspective, though it really isn't something I agree with. It even explains my confusion over things like 73 and 98.

I think taking time away and pulling out the frustration I'm feeling for mafia as a whole, I think I have a good town read of Koba. Right below Roses. They are active and solvey, not just in pushes but in theory analysis as well. I also have a better understanding of where they coming from over the Clidd thing, though I still disagree with their initial reaction, or how they reacted to me questioning them.

With your vote still on Roses does that mean you're not convinced by their defense, if so why not? What does it mean for your strategy when the person you sheep moves their vote? Are you just waiting for another argument you like?


Sidenote: sorry about that last post, blame my big dumb thumbs and phone posting.

ok I never actually scumread anyone early on. my "scumreads" are always meant to annoy prod and push players to getting emotional. emotion betrays alignment more often than not. is that more clear?

Yes, but your vote has been parked there for over 400 posts, I was wondering if anything of Hoctac's recent activity had changed your view of them? Or is the timing of their vote on Koba still the scummiest thing that happened this? Say Hoctac is telling the truth. Where then?

Why would you want Cj or Enomis lynched? And why CJ first?

Remind me about this after the game, because this is funny for reasons I can't really get into.

As for the rest, I think we have very opposed playstyles. I like trying to discuss with other players and reach the best consensus. Whenever I do feel frustrated or whatever, I just walk away from the computer for a bit as I'm no longer having fun and don't want to make the game less fun for others.

Could you answer the questions I addressed to you in my reread?

Penguin, I'm confused. So in the game, a town player incorrectly used set up analysis and gave scum you a clear? Why does that make Koba trying to use set up analysis make them scummy?

Koba, can you answer the questions I asked you?

This seems like playstyle more than anything, but they do seem to be actively scum hunting. Also when they've been wrong and corrected they adjust accordingly. Do you think scum!Koba was hoping to lie about public set up info and just not be called out?

What does their 'wagon' falling apart mean for you?

Outside of Koba, what are you reads on the other players?

Their wagon falling apart could be either town or scum indicative, I just find it interesting that it completely dissipated. Something to look at in later phases.
So this quote is them explaining their playstyle.

They do this with me, Holden, and Kilga throughout the game. These interactions show active scum hunting, by their style, I just feel that the way other players have reacted has negatively impacted this style pretty hard. So I think there is a difference between NOT scum hunting, and to have your method of scum hunting not work.

42: rereading i have no idea what i was doing there. I saw lots of big words and said nope tl;dr. but at the moment i was thinking like "ok obfuscating language i dont like this let me get some emtional language out of this person"

98: I feel I explained this move earlier, but probably I should come clean 100% even tho it hurts my pride, but there was 1 player I played against a few months ago that used a bunch of wifom like that in an offsite game and I didn't even read into it and I ended up townreading them and nearly losing the game (someone else carried). so I sorta naturally scumread it right away and it pings me. (it was a resistance game, not mafia but the basis still is there)

303: I don't remember so I probably was just trying to bluff my way into pressure on them. but their carefree tone suggests town after I just ISO'd them so I feel I can trust them for now.
This honesty feels very town, not a forced answer that feels in line with Dkkoba's play.

p-edit: I think Hoctac and Koba are town, so if we're just waiting on a replacement for CJ then VOTE: Enomis

Enomis has a lot of the same scum equity that Cj has, and if they disagreed with choosing who hammers they should have brought it when it was discussed at the start of the day, not when they're asked to follow through at the end.

@Kilga just because people are voting with me, I still want to know why they're voting the way they are. Also, CJ didn't come back till near the end of the deadline, there wasn't exactly the time to completely move the Enomis wagon over at that time. I thought Enomis and CJ were scum for similar reasons, I didn't think they were scum together. I don't like doing associative reads till after there have been flips. But yes, I've had too many town reads this whole game, It's been something I can't shake.

I think Penguin still looks town for their push on Koba, I don't see scum coming in and trying to hard push a difficult player and wagon when they join in. It seems very town motivated. As for the rest, I'd have to reread.

I'm ready to claim if people think that's the best option.

Hey, sorry, I didn't expect to be so busy today. I'm sorry.

As for Kilga, it's pretty disingenuous to paint me staying with the Enomis lynch as being happy with any lynch. I pretty clearly had scum reads on both CJ and Enomis for similar reasons. I was switching from one scum read wagon to another, as the alternative wagons were both Dkkoba and Hoctac people I thought were town. It makes no sense for me to try at the last second to pivot wagons from my scum read of Enomis to my scum read of CJ, especially if that wagon had people who seemed more likely to go onto my town reads instead of CJ.

If Enomis was some sort of compromise on a null read, I would understand where they were coming from, but it wasn't.

I'll try and post more tomorrow, apologies again for my absence.

In post 938, Kilgamayan wrote:@Tuxedo Mask: I did not mean to say you were happy with any lynch. If that is how what I wrote came across, that's my bad. To be clear, I meant to say that I don't believe you cared which of ceejay or enomis got lynched. Yes, you had suspicions of both of them, but you prioritized ceejay earlier in the day for some reason, and the only stated reason you switched to enomis was because of the potential replacement. I feel like Town Tuxedo, upon seeing ceejay reappear and thus eliminate the possibility of a replacement, would have acknowledged ceejay's return in some fashion, either by switching the vote back to ceejay or explaining why you now prefer enomis. That you did not do either of these while demonstrably having the time to do so is why I suspect you.
Right, but what I was arguing was that the game state felt really weird, no one seemed to know how to engage, and no pushes we really gaining much ground. So I thought the explanation might be that town was simply talking in circles and that scum was lurking, so my suspicions fell onto CJ and Enomis who really didn't do anything day 1. As well when CJ started posting at the end of day 1, I'm not going to turn around and try to lynch a lurker BECAUSE they started posting, if maybe he said something that pinged me I would have, but he didn't.
In post 946, Hoctac wrote:What about you, Tux? You haven't expressed who you think it might be today.
I'm not sure at the moment, Kilga's pinging me the most. I don't like the logic of their push on me at all, it seems like a very dishonest representation of where I stood at the end of day one. Also, their now town read of you seems weird but I don't know if its scum motivated. Would scum!Kilga come into day 2, and say they reevaluated their read of you now that instead of having to convince three people, they and Roses only have to convince one? You could explain that with them potentially being Scum!Hoctac and Scum!Kilga, but I think that's really unlikely since it's a huge risk on their part to have Kiga spend all of day 1 bussing their partner.

PP and Roses would make the most sense as Scum!Kilga's partner, but that would mean me being wrong about my two strongest town reads. I think Roses interactions with Kilga could be theater, and maybe an attempt at pocketing me. PP just doesn't strike me as scum, because of their very hard push of Koba at EOD, seems very risky for scum to do especially replacing in so late into a widely town read slot. It would be easier to coast. It seems much more town motivated.

As for you, I liked your playstyle day 1, and your explosion of effort in the latter half of that day felt very good. Your recent questioning of Kilga seems good too.

Still need to actually reread though, which I've been slacking on, sorry.

@Smarter People would scum quick hammer in this set up? Like I get in a normal set up if I'm town and Kilga is town, scum could jump on me for a win, but here would the risk of hitting a Saint, getting shot by a Vig, or shooting a bomb at night prevent them from going for it?

But isn't the problem here that if that's true than they're wrong? So just because the reaction is genuine it isn't a reason to scum read me less.

Like the options are...
1. You're scum failing to get two town players in Hoctac, PP, and Rose's to lynch town me.

2. We're both town, and for some reason scum aren't using your suspicions of me to win.

3. I'm scum, and you haven't convinced two town in Hoctac, Roses, PP to lynch me.

So you backing off your super aggressive start. That you voted me into your first post in MYLO looked really bad.

I'm okay to lynch here.

In post 961, Kilgamayan wrote:So you are proposing my attitude should be "this isn't accomplishing anything but I'm going to do it anyway"? That would be a very illogical approach, particularly in LYLO. If what I've done so far isn't accomplishing anything then town is much better served that I look for things I might have missed elsewhere.
What I'm saying is that this line of reasoning is flawed...

If that's true then they don't 'know what they're doing better'. Right, from Town!Kilga perspective town can either have majority genuine reaction to me and be wrong or have a majority ingenuine reaction to me and be right. It can't be both. So to drop it here feels really off. Now Scum!Kilga could reach this conclusion because they know two of Roses, PP, and Hoctac reactions are genuine and not being convinced to lynch Town!Tux.

Also, if Kilga is town, I don't see scum's play here? Like I'm pretty sure going for the quick hammer on me is the best play.

In your hypothetical situation where I am town, do you not think I am a valid scum play mislynch? <_<
Like this could be, but no one except me and you (PP a bit) have talked about my read. My statement is based on you starting the day with a vote of me. So Town!Kiga had the strongest stance starting today, and even cast a vote. I'm not in your head, but on the page, it looks like it wouldn't take much to convince you to lynch me. So for scum to sit back and let that read slowly deteriorate feels weird. But if we're thinking that scum is carefully avoiding a Saint and trying to stack the wagons right then I need to rethink this.

I don't like the logic of their push on me at all, it seems like a very dishonest representation of where I stood at the end of day one. Also, their now town read of you seems weird but I don't know if its scum motivated. Would scum!Kilga come into day 2, and say they reevaluated their read of you now that instead of having to convince three people, they and Roses only have to convince one? You could explain that with them potentially being Scum!Hoctac and Scum!Kilga, but I think that's really unlikely since it's a huge risk on their part to have Kiga spend all of day 1 bussing their partner.
I struggle to see a world where Kilga is scum and Roses are town. Since, Kilga absolutely continues scumreading me and capitalises on Roses' scumread on me to win today.

Roses pushing Kilga here also suggests they're not scum together either. So weirdly that means Kilga is probably town here?

That makes sense, right?
Yes, it does. I feel in a tough spot at the moment, as Kilga seems the most scummy on their own, I just don't see anyone being their partner. I need to reread PP, and Kilga's case on them. But I'm really not seeing it.

Yeah, like it's possible, but I'm not sure why they wouldn't at least put their finger on the scale. Like Occam's razor and all that.
In post 1011, Hoctac wrote:I think it's Penpow + Roses/Tux now. The DkKoba kill coming from scum only makes sense if Penpow is scum. If he's town, then having DkKoba and Penpow battle it out in lylo is like an easy victory for scum.

I want to vote Penpow.
Sorry did I miss something, why are we so sure the NK was Koba? Just because of the hammer? Also, do you think scum would have predicted that day 2 would be lylo? Or do you just mean none PP scum would have kept Koba and PP around for as long as possible?

Tuxe... I gotta see more from you. You've been careful, you agreed with me saying Kilga is town, and you townread me, do does that mean you think it's Roses+Penpow?
Well, I agreed with your logic that he seemed to have no likely partners, but that doesn't stop Kilga's slot being the scummiest on its own. Though yes, I do see the logic in a Roses+Penpow team. Going back to day 1, if we're thinking the NK was Koba it does have me reread the interaction. While scum probably would be less likely to take that difficult path, it was also a fairly low-risk move on its own, especially if he planned to just NK Koba. I think the best outcome is for PP or KIlga to hammer the other in a lynch, seems guaranteed to flip scum that way. Maybe one of them could claim if they are Saint? Not both just one, and we get the other to hammer that one? Feel free to let me know if you think that's a stupid plan, but I think we should use the set up to maximize our chances here.

Just based on how things have shaken out I feel the teams must be Hocatac and Kilga or PP and you. You two have also consistently town read each other with minimal actual interaction. Also, I feel like you may be pocketing me, you keep grabbing quotes of mine and just saying "+1" or "tux is town" which just makes me nervous.

Lastly, there is this...

What do you think of Hoctac's argument that being confirmed non-bomb that they should carry out the hammer of any lynch today? Or do people prefer that the hammered should pick the hammerer?

In post 1094, Hoctac wrote:Like Tuxey, what are you trying to do to solve? In , you're not reading into the implications of me suggesting that people should think that, and are instead asking Penpow like it'll help you solve his alignment. How will it?

Also, I find your solve to be a little simplistic. From your PoV, I could totally see Penpow + Hoctac. We've shaded each other but Penpow is pushing Kilga to be lynched, while I'm kinda all over the place and certainly haven't committed to Penpow being lynched.
My question was just more based on theory stuff. I'm just trying to gauge if people agree with your idea why and why not? I thought PP and Kilga lynching/hammering each other would be the best solve mechanically. But it seems I'm wrong, and that we just have to lynch scum today. So PP keeping the binary of them versus Kilga is interesting. Could be them being incorrect (in their willingness to die if town) or scum posturing like "I'm ready to be hammered, I'm so town."

You are all over the place, but it reads more like you're trying to save Kilga than anything. PP to PP/Roses to Roses/Me to Me/PP it just feels like your only concern is that Kilga doesn't die. So that's what I mean by the divide feels like Roses/PP versus Hoctac/Kilga, one side wants Kilga dead and the other wants Kilga to live. Right now I'm still for the person I find scummiest on their own, which is Kilga.

I understand that, but I'm not seeing scum PP or Roses. I also can't really rationalize them dropping their push on me with a townie mindset, especially the logic of town majority not being convinced of their case showing it may be flawed. Like that only works if Kilga is scum.

Oof that was poorly written, I mean I don't see them as scummy individually, but I see a logic to them being a team if that makes sense? The rest was about how I see Kilga as individually quite scummy.

Should look at who of the two of [Roses,Penpow] started pushing Kilga first, and who tagged along, since if Kilga is scum, his partner is most likely the person who was second in scumreading him. Since at that point, we have you + 1st person scumreading him, so scum buddy might feel like they have to bus.
Sorry I'm not sure what you're getting at here? Are you just saying if Kilga flips scum we should look for a bus on the lynch and not the one person trying to stop it, you?

No, that's fair, I was just more caught off guard by the pivot. Cause now you seem very suddenly on a Kilga flip. Shouldn't you be trying to convince me that Roses or PP is scum if you don't want Kilga killed, or do you think Kilga might be scum now? Sorry, I just feel like I'm not keeping up with your train of thought.

Okay, so what do you think of Kilga on their own? As I've said them dropping a push from me saying town majority wasn't buying doesn't make sense from town to me. Also yes, I know they said they reevaluated the case on their own as well, but that doesn't stop the will of town being a reason they brought up and it making no sense.

Also, in general what are you reads of people as they stand on their own?

If'n y'all are going to say stuff like this then you could at least tell me why and are off the mark.
Because I don't think clipping those things out of context accurately represents the back and forth Kilga had with Koba. They were things that allegedly stuck out to PP on their read through, and he pushed that. Koba reacted, and the back and forth that followed seemed to be what strengthed PP's read of that slot.

What does scum PP have to gain joining the game hours before the deadline seeing the wagons are Hoctac and CJ/Enomis and picking a fight with Koba? Trying to fight the flow of the game seems way more town motivated than scum motivated. Even if Hocatac or CJ/Enomis were their partner, it would be easier to just support the opposing wagon over trying to start a whole new one.

As for the things you quoted regarding yourself they said they were pings. If it was the core of their read on you then it would be different, but it's just stuff that stuck out to them. Again this just feels like how PP engages with the game, pushing stuff that gut ping them and growing from there.

P.S. your post would be easier to follow if you linked to why they were factually incorrect or explained it, rather than just linking to the incorrect post.

I just finished ISOing you, and I have to agree I see you do with Kilga what happened with Koba, which seems more playstyle indictive than scum indictive.

I also still can't drop Kilga's dropping of me which might be tunneling but I can't see the town mindset in it. Also, Hoctac's all over the place reads while maintaining Kilga near the top feels like the scum team trying to secure a lynch on you.

So I'm ready to vote Kilga.

You think Kilga and I would be so blatant about it? That even after all 3 of you want to lynch Kilga, I'll still be defending him and going for anyone but him? That's a terrible losing strategy if we're scum.
I think it might be reasonable risk as you guys only need to convince me or Roses to lynch PP instead. And if your scum that means all remaining town have a 50/50 chance to be bombs, so if one of you gets lynched it sets it up that likely the best your team can hope for is a tie. But this is something we can discuss tomorrow.

@Holden for your dead chat vig idea, it should only be revealed to those in dead chat. So people start just dropping in the middle of the day and no one knows why.

Also yeah, I was super scummy at the end and just didn't know how to close it. Love the profile Koba.

Oh also @Koba I said I'd mention it end game but I think the biggest reason your reaction based playstyle didn't yield results from me. Besides me just generally trying to take a break when the game stops being fun. I was playing a much more infuriating game at the time so talking to drunk you was fun compared to Newbie 2004.

I wanna also point out that people at the start of the game (Koba and Kilga I think) said scum was probably the one's the be fake claiming as a joke. They just happened to go after Holden, the only townie of the three fake claimers.
