I'm officially opening applications for the VP town block. Anyone admitted will survive until the end as CONFIRMED TOWN.

TO APPLY:

1) Do stuff VP finds obvtown.
2) Laugh as scum flail from being PoE'd into oblivion.

Who is submitting applications?

In the first you're applauding xRECKONERx as helpful town and in the second you're chastising Haschel for asking you a question you found to be unhelpful. What pings me here is simple: they both posted equally. RECK's post about the history of Sunny, though enlightening for the kids not following along in the appreciation thread, wasn't remotely alignment indicative. Yet you're seemingly taken aback by something you don't think will help engage you in a way that'll show your own alignment? Pardon my French, bud, but that doesn't make any fucking reasonable amount of sense to me.

I'm really having a hard time telling if you can't read intent or just take everything as literally as possible. You think I was being serious about townreading Reck because he made a post explaining where Sunny came from? Or is it more likely that I know Reck from the site and it was just some friendly banter?

Re: Haschel, that was my bad because I thought he was referring to UT's "not garbage" post. We cleared that up after he explained he was talking about a previous UT post. I did address his question seriously in Post 75 once I understood what he was referring to.

No offense to the guy, but Gamma Emerald has made a name for being absolute elimbait. Yeetbate? Executebait? Whatever. The fact of the matter is that the vote is nothing short of worthless at this, or almost any, stage of the game when -- let's face it -- he'll likely lurk out any Goddamn way. I know because I just had to rally myself out of being eliminated in his stead in a recently completed game and have seen it happen more often then not when I'm in games with him.

I mean, this is my fourth game back since returning from a 7 year hiatus. I don't know Gamma Emerald from Adam, so your personal meta of his slot doesn't mean anything to me.

I don't know what you mean that a vote on him is worthless at any stage of the game. You're saying we should never vote for him because he lurks and is bad in your opinion?

I appreciated your analysis though. Seemed like you picked up some insight overnight. I don't think it was a scum driven wagon really because chkflip was playing like trash.

I think I need to start limiting the elim pool for my own sanity here. I'm not getting super strong reads so far, and sorting newer player behavior from scuminess is not my specialty.

Feeling fairly town enough on Gamma, skies, Reck and UT that I wouldn't want to yeet them today.

It's a real toss up for me between Haschel and Ythan for who was worse on the chkflip elim. Ythan seems a little more probing today, but still pretty useless in actually pushing the game forward. Haschel has better content, but that hammer explanation was a dog turd. The problem here is a real lack of information to sort due to speed and Ythan's lack of posting. I need to double check myself here, but I believe Ythan was on site and posting on the day of the hammer...but I think when I checked this before it didn't feel very conclusive as to whether he was present enough to unvote. Haschel...I'm super mad at you if you are town.

Off wagon of Dr. P, Agar, tn, noraa is a toss up too. TN maybe feels the most town of that group? I need to do some ISOing of people in that group today and better refine my sentiments.

Do not do this.

I honestly don't know. It seems unlikely, but maybe I'm just salty because had I checked the game at work I do think I would have unvoted at Y-1 just to slow that down a bit.

I sort of have this working theory that scum tend to be more present and checking games more often due to the nature of risk they face, but that doesn't mean they post when they check a game (at least that is majorly how I play as scum). I wouldn't expect 2/3 of the scum to be in the lurking crowd, but now that I've said this aloud it literally meas nothing, so....

VP Baltar · Post Post #440 (isolation #72) » Mon Sep 21, 2020 11:37 am

I mean statistically speaking, from my perspective, we have better odds yeeting on the wagon, but that still feels like a big risk considering I just played two games as scum where the D1 wagons were almost entirely town and it caused confusion deep into the game. That's anecdotal of course, but definitely the source of my jitters.

Word.

Ok, I'm here and I'll give a little rundown of things that strike me as weird about TN.

FIRST:

In post 130, tn5421 wrote:In summary: I don't like that people dogpiled chkdsk for shit that VP also did and got excused for.

This post way back on D1 struck me as a very weird misreading. There was zero correlation between what chkflip was doing and me "being an asshole"...which is what is being referenced here. It felt like an odd reason to oppose the chkflip wagon at that time. Now that we know the flip, I'm more suspicious that TN was searching for reasons to oppose a bad wagon.

SECOND:

In post 240, tn5421 wrote:I mean, this town turbolynched someone for not being part of the old boy's club, so here we are, 2 town dead and possessing barely more information than we did during RVS.

This start to D2 again struck me as a fundamental misreading of the game. Chkflip was not yeeted for not being part of the "old boy's club". In fact, there are no posts of substance between what TN said above and this...so where the heck did that notion come from? TN was pressed on this later and didn't have a good explanation for the statement.

The wagon shaming is something that could be seen as scummy. I mean, it's good to pressure people on the wagon after a town flip, but this is a directionless, "SEE I TOLD YOU THE WAGON WAS BAD" post that doesn't even fit with what TN said before. It's just weird.

Note that when Haschel presses this point, TN demurs giving an actual answer and offers a joke instead:

In post 268, Haschel Cedricson wrote:Pour one out for the newb Chkflip, voted out entirely for being newb-town only *checks notes* 9 years and 10 months after they registered for MafiaScum.

In post 269, tn5421 wrote:*pours out an entire bottle of goldschlager*

Not to mention the lack of responsibility for anything he takes in his original post shitting on the wagon:

In post 240, tn5421 wrote:I furthermore feel like I'm not really being interacted with at all and this is really unsettling to me.

Like, what? You're barely posting in the game and have questioned no one. It's a bullshit thing to say for someone who has 6 years on the site.

THIRD:

The entire amount of scumhunting TN does D2 after being so annoyed with how fast D1 went is: "haschel hammer = bad"

In post 431, tn5421 wrote:i don't think there's any way town!haschel hammers town like he did and then has such a weak explanation

That's it.

I 100% get being annoyed with the speed of D1! I was absolutely in that boat...hence why I came in today saying I wanted to drag this day out. I needed more time to feel out a lot of people. I can't say I'm super confident in my reads yet, but I sure as shit have more nuanced opinions than "hammer bad." TN is putting in no work today, and I'd expect town to put in work after failing to gain much information D1. Poking and prodding a wide variety of people, trying to sift out answers and harden up some instinctual reads. There's none of that here and that's an alarm bell to me.

FOURTH:

This vote after not posting for 3 days completely reeks.

In post 577, tn5421 wrote:im game

VOTE: Noraa

It was a growing wagon, and I'm pretty sure TN had not said a single word to Noraa before that vote. He said his scum read was haschel! I mean, how am I supposed to read a parked garbage vote switched to the most popular wagon at the time with zero reasoning?

When pressured over this, we again receive:

In post 586, tn5421 wrote:i have absolutely no incentive to go to any sort of effort to solve the game

ill just rely on the old boys squad to do it, as expected

WHAT IS THE OLD BOYS SQUAD AND WHO ARE THE MEMBERS?

lol, this is such a dumb statement to make. I don't even get where it is coming from.

Then of course, he votes Dr. P as that wagon gains popularity. Again no reason. Again no commitment to any prior scum reads. If TN is town in this situation, it's absurd play. I think there are some people buying into this schtick of "he wouldn't do that as scum, it's too crazy!". But I just finished a game as scum where we benefited mightily by the town writing off our scummiest teammate for the same reasoning.
----

Now, could I be wrong about all this? Sure. Maybe TN is telling the truth and he's just super disengaged because he's playing some video game or whatever. That's probably NAI either way. But what i can firmly say is that when TN does grace us with his presence, it's completely garbage. And, the above are far better reasons to yeet than simple lurking into oblivion. I say we give Dr. P time to either respond or be replaced, and if it's the latter then TN is the very clear choice today without a doubt.

VP Baltar · Sun Sep 27, 2020 12:19 pm

I've got to say, a lot of this was gut bad feelings about TN, but after going through their iso... I feel even more convinced.

Idk if I agree with that. There seems to be a pretty solid town bloc now. I'd gladly trade setup info for a much smaller lim pool.

I think I'm the only confirmed town person here, so that's all that can be said about that.

What I'm saying is there is a preponderance of evidence that a number of people are overwhelmingly town. That makes the lim pool much smaller, so that's a worthwhile trade for some claims/softclaims.

What you're suggesting with mass claim would not further limit that pool at this point.

Few alternatives people have been using:

Yeeting
Eliminate
Execute

I mean, I can elaborate, but it's not going to help us find scum. The point isn't to be alienating skies, it is to reveal as little information as possible for scum. If I had been playing better, I wouldn't have revealed what I did, but seemed to run counter to reck's posts, so I thought I should put it out.

More importantly, skies if you had to guess the whole scum team right now, who would it be?

That is my understanding as well.

Yeah, I think we basically lim those two and then if the game is still going, Haschel.

Obviously you're still outside the realm of confirmed too duppin.

Why do you read gamma as town here? He's still technically in the pool as well. More curious than anything

The dynamic changes when scum throws in the towel, and not in a way I find useful.

This is a less than satisfactory answer.

VP Baltar · Sun Oct 04, 2020 1:42 pm

you seem more concerned with people not being cleared than with hunting scum.

Look, here's the realness: You and reck were slapfighting early on in a way that didn't seem very believable at the time, and now we have confirmed info from Reck's flip.

Ythan is clear because Reck roleblocked him. He's not going to do that to a buddy.

Why not skies? Seems the most likely candidate outside yourself, yes?

VP Baltar · Wed Oct 07, 2020 8:32 am

Trying to think through the setup balance here. So currently we have:

VP Baltar - Friendly Neighbor

Gamma Emerald - VT
Haschel Cedricson - Voyeur
brighteningskies - Doctor
Noraa - VT
duppin - Motion Detector

Ythan - Fruit Vendor

(soft confirm here)

Plus:

Town Tracker

Town Bus Driver

Scum Roleblocker

The doctor claim definitely feels out of place for a theme of "lots of night actions that don't do a hell of a lot." We also just seem to have way too much power here. Tracker and Bus Driver are both reasonably powerful roles. A doctor on top of that seems like a lot when there is no town killing power to balance that for scum.

I'm also wondering if we'd have BOTH a motion detector and a voyeur.

Eh. Anyone can be scum. Look at how much UT fretted over Reck because of personal friendship.

You just have to look at facts. Skies suddenly becoming very inactive after Reck got under serious pressure is highly suspect. I believe them when they say RL is busy, but scum definitely can become withdrawn from a game when they start to lose.

As far as why Reck would do the kill...that feels like pointless speculating. There aren't many people in this game with as much experience as Reck, so your logic would pretty much apply to any scum team make up.
