Seems like a pointless exercise, but it's going to get talked about anyway, so I might as well save everyone some time.
I was a suicidal 2-shot reflexive doctor. Which means I can doc everyone who targets me on a given night twice, and also had the power to commit suicide. With any luck you all won't make me wish I still had that power."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

Yep.
In post 92, Who wrote:Policy lynch on me for being fucking awful? Well actually I don't really blame you that much.
As scum I sometimes play well and sometimes play poorly. As town I think I've played well approximately once. Maybe twice.
I agree with claiming past roles, particularly given my previous role: 1-shot BP Miller (Aligned with mafia. Yes, miller aligned with mafia)
This just tells me that we shouldn't setup spec based on roles, which I would have advocated anyway.
In post 97, Who wrote:In post 95, Who wrote:I'm replacing out, I don't want to drag my team down.
Also I'm quitting this site and mafia in general after I finish my other ongoing games.
Actually nevermind that, not replacing out. Yet. (2nd part may or may not still be true, not sure)

Driving the conversation towards theory/setup/speculation allows scum to not contribute anything to the game. I've hidden behind it several times as scum. It's not about what he was avoiding THERE, it's about the direction he was heading. We have now had several pages of people claiming roles and wondering AHHH WHERE ARE THE OLD ROLE CLAIMS and it's just silly.
Advocating a policy lynch is pretty bad, unless the player is truly horrendous -- IE, not Who. Additionally, if it was really that bad that Cabd doesn't like playing with him, his team had the option to swap.
You should have held on to this, if you're town. He made one post about it. If he continued to harp on setup spec for 10 pages, you might have had a case, but one post is one post. Did it look like he might continue to do more of it? Yeah, it sure did, but that didn't actually happen. It really is silly, though; we've learned exactly one thing and that's that the mod can be expected to try to fuck with our heads, but you should always expect good mods to fuck with your head anyway.
I didn't like you calling him "actually scum" without waiting to see if things would really play out that way. On its own, that one post is a pretty flimsy reason, and I don't think anyone should have strong beliefs based on it alone.
I'm constantly baffled by the idea of policy lynches, but I haven't noticed one alignment as more likely to advocate them, especially Day 1.
@Tier: You've been suspecting reck for a lot of the same reasons as me while calling me an idiot. I don't know why you're jumping down everyone's throats and getting pissy at everyone on page 5, last time I played with you you were pretty calm and not an ass for no reason."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

My team is currently split on Ceph - one teamate thinks ceph is probably town because he's active and wants to play and would be drained from having a scum role, but another teamate says that Ceph prefers scum roles.
I don't want to get into extended conversations about my meta but I should get this out of the way at some point.
It is true that I prefer scum roles in general, but I have rolled it a lot lately. In fact, I put tokens on town here. Ordinarily I can reliably be lynched if I look town and you'll get a high success rate, because being scum thrills me and makes me want to do well. However, I can energize myself for town games by channeling a certain mindset, which is what I'm doing. If you're interested in doing meta on me this game, you'll want to look at my games playing under this persona -- this one and this one -- hence the avatar change."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

I don't particularly give a shit about meta or anything, so that piece of the argument falls flat for me. For me, analyzing that within the context of this game alone, it's sketchy.
At least you can admit your bias.
You don't know if there is a correlation between the roles of the prior setup and the new ones, from the roles you all said you received I suspect there is one so the discussion is not useless, there are other ways where discussion of past roles can be useful as well.
This game is pretty high-profile and run by smart people. There's absolutely no way they would allow setup spec based on the previous game to be useful for town here -- that would be terrible modding. I expect there is exactly the same amount of correlation you would see between any two Magua games. So unless you normally do buckets of mod meta, we can stop anytime.

I don't think it's the same at all. There are legitimate reasons for RVS to exist.

shos is different because he's being a smarmy coy asshole about his read. He's doing the "I have a read, you wanna know what it is? Too bad!" thing that reminds me of elementary school bus rides.
Why are you still voting for T-Bone if you have an inkling elsewhere? Did you just miss the time when there was a little momentum towards Reck, because otherwise that would've been a great time to apply pressure."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

No matter how smart Magua is he doesn't live in a vacuum, he had 1 day to make a new setup and he had the roles from his previous game fresh in mind, so I guarantee he is going to re-use some ideas.

1) Obviously, me thinking it's pointless is not going to accomplish it not getting talked about

I see, what I mean with this is I found these two players in particular the scummiest but I would not go through with hammering them, if I were voting for them and someone put them at L-1 I would unvote and I would not hammer them if I were not on the wagon.
Why are you interpreting my motivations to fit a scum mo? There is a difference between not having a good enough read to lynch someone and being afraid of something, you don't know what I am thinking so why are you putting forwards this particular motive?
This post works for me. I expect scum copper to be smoother. But I'm far from outright townreading him.

These points don't have anything to do with each other, untwist your knickers.

Driving the conversation towards theory/setup/speculation allows scum to not contribute anything to the game. I've hidden behind it several times as scum. It's not about what he was avoiding THERE, it's about the direction he was heading. We have now had several pages of people claiming roles and wondering AHHH WHERE ARE THE OLD ROLE CLAIMS and it's just silly.
Advocating a policy lynch is pretty bad, unless the player is truly horrendous -- IE, not Who. Additionally, if it was really that bad that Cabd doesn't like playing with him, his team had the option to swap.
This post comes from town. Even if we disagree about the usefulness of (at least some of the) claims of the pre-reroll, this shows town mindset, imo.
How? These things are all really easy to say and more mafia philosophy than anything alignment-relevant. I you couldn't fake this you need serious work.

Would you explain to me this townread? how is any of his posts 'trying to think the herd'?
Bullshit. see above.In post 118, TierShift wrote:

Because there was obviously no intent to avoid engaging this game by cabd and you made it seem like there was. You seemed to be pretty certain in your read but now that there's resistance to your read you try to justify it with even more bullshit ('it was just about the direction he was heading') which is put forward more as an excuse for scumreading him than as a read you believe in. Town don't need to make excuses for reads, they believe in reads.
Seriously, people, read 104 and see it's a fucking excuse.
See above? The above is "could you explain this to me." You not understanding something doesn't make it bullshit. Moreover, I can't see what you could be failing to understand about this post, it makes perfect sense, and it's townier than any of the seemingly random posts you're currently god tier towning Reck for.

Reck.
I'd also like Copper to answer this question.
Explanation. Why lynch my townread.
If you don't know why I suspected Reck at that point I invite you to RTFT again, since it apparently didn't stick the first time.

It is true that I prefer scum roles in general, but I have rolled it a lot lately. In fact, I put tokens on town here.
I find this wierd. why would you claim that, in a game which is explicitly not using the tokens?
Who cares?
I claimed it because meta would suggest me being excited to play this game would be scummy, as a means of showing that I'm actually pumped to be town. But who cares, and why not?

Of course you do know, there's no correlation and it's explicitly been said that a new setup has been brought. The only thing we can get from this is scum fakeclaims, and you look a lot like you're just trying to direct conversation to useless specs.In post 149, copper223 wrote:In post 144, xRECKONERx wrote:What's the pro-town benefit of setup speculation discussion? It's not even current setup spec -- it's setup spec from a completely unrelated game. It is not productive, it's anti-productive. It's a distraction. I don't particularly give a shit about meta or anything, so that piece of the argument falls flat for me. For me, analyzing that within the context of this game alone, it's sketchy.
At least you can admit your bias.
You don't know if there is a correlation between the roles of the prior setup and the new ones, from the roles you all said you received I suspect there is one so the discussion is not useless, there are other ways where discussion of past roles can be useful as well.
I could make the same argument for RVS you just mad for Cabd proposing that discussion, it's not productive because all of us here know how it goes, it's anti-productive, it's a distraction, it's scum indicative that you RVS voted ... (if you space the logical jumps from A to D by putting in B and C to make it look reasonable it still is absurd when you connect the dots).
I do think it's possible you are strirring things up as town and some pressure on Cabd is fine by me.
Honestly if anyone is still thinking Reck is scum after reading this page I'm gonna shit brix and throw'em on you
I'm not going to make the logical connections for you. If you think someone's town I want to hear why you think so whether or not I agree, I'm more interested in your reasons than the actual read, so what makes this post town?
DO you have a physiological issue with giving reasons? So far I feel like I'm playing with a less articulate mastin."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

On another thought, this could be fitting. I'd imagine Magua was not planning this game alone on that day, you know many people here communicate in other means and stuff, online chats etc.In post 153, copper223 wrote:In post 151, Cephrir wrote:This game is pretty high-profile and run by smart people. There's absolutely no way they would allow setup spec based on the previous game to be useful for town here -- that would be terrible modding. I expect there is exactly the same amount of correlation you would see between any two Magua games. So unless you normally do buckets of mod meta, we can stop anytime.
No matter how smart Magua is he doesn't live in a vacuum, he had 1 day to make a new setup and he had the roles from his previous game fresh in mind, so I guarantee he is going to re-use some ideas.
The point of the RVS example was not to compare the validity of the two, it was to highlight how Reck made a series of unjustified logical leaps to land to his conclusion.
But I can see how this is coming from a townie mindset.
Because _______
I made this point more often and more emphatically than copper did. Here you are agreeing with a post of his that isn't even making it, and actually the opposite. Perhaps you don't want to give me any credit, since you're probably building up to trying to force a scumread on me.

in a game YOU modded I did practically the same, got myself run up and almost lynched on D1. ended up vigging two scums iirc or something like that. This behaviour was not a one-time thing too. How does that make me scum, please?
I don't remember what you did to get run up there. If I feel like it, maybe I'll check. If it was really "no I won't explain my reads and I'm taking my ball too" then you deserved it.

No. Doesn't add up.
I like the way rhinox is going about the game.
Not really feeling a shos wagon as it's based on not cooperating, essentially, which I don't find to be a scumtellfor him.
Copper is posting safe. Trying not to butt heads.
VOTE: copper
Shos, thoughts on copper?
My thoughts on copper are kinda wierd. I mean so far I have like 3-4 reads, main ones being reck town and ceph scum, but I'm always a sucker for AtE and activity, and copper & ceph's activity makes me wonder. ceph I'm scumreading for the contents of his posts and their consistency of being bad imo, but copper, I dunno, partial agreement doesn't give me shit and the fact that he posted that much content by now(which is actually content) makes me lean town....
Not voting there anyway.
Color me surprised. Lol. Oh, their consistency of being bad! What a grand fucking case. I'm quivering in my boots because I can just see that getting sheeped. And apparently copper's activity makes him town and mine makes no difference, even though I have twice as many posts as anyone else? Yeah, k. Can you not come up with anything more creative than OMGUS? You've done a pretty terrible job of pointing out what posts of mine are apparently bad."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

I was just talking specifically about Cabd there. I'd also like to hear what was different about your approach vs. mine there.
I am a little worried about them, but mostly in the sense that I don't understand where they're coming from. Reck is still on my radar but merely on it."I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

The second part was directed at Cabd.tier wrote:If this is directed at me I don't understand it.
No no, it completely does affect those. That's what I meant -- I don't understand how anyone is making that leap, and it makes me wary of those doing so (shos, for instance).That's what I'm saying. You thinking this doesn't have consequences on your reads on the players townreading him?
