I'm on 56 on my readthrough.
VOTE: Kuro
-I've yet to see scumhunting of any kind from him.
-54 asks the question "What is RVS". Before that the acronym was used in posts 31,27,25,22,21. Am I supposed to believe that the entire exchange about jake not RVSing was nonsense to him, yet he didn't feel compelled to ask about it before 54? As town? I think that shows profound disinterest in what others are saying in the thread. Contrast with 48 where he expresses belief that town can catch scum.
-He reacts to franksa's confusion about the matter as if it's an accusation. Almost as if he knew what he was saying was suspicious.
@Kuro: I'd like you to link some off-site games of yours.-

OMGUS much?
Also Kuros vote was still on Coffee for RVS. Why not vote here?
@Kuro "You can't have it both ways." applies to you and is exactly the thing frank was expressing confusion about. Turning it around is just weird.
"cast doubt on me where there wasn't before."
Give me a break. Everyone is a suspect hereas you should well know if town-

The posts speak for themselves.
LOL
@Kuro: You can be a timid newbie who uses FOS instead of a vote or you can be a guy who says stuff like:"posts speak for themselves"
You can't be both.-

This is at least weird from you...
I don't see him defending himself too much.
This post is pretty typical for Jake, but this instance could well be important, so I am highlighting it.-

In post 83, KuroiXHF wrote:I'd also like to say that I'm going to be a lot more active on the weekdays than I am on the weekends. On the weekdays, I'm at work and I'm near a computer. On the weekends, my fiancee takes up a lot of my time - and if she isn't happy, no one's happy.
Since I was last online, here's what's changed from what I've read:
Jake - He says a lot without talking too much. It shows that he's paying attention and has the potential of being a dangerous player, but I'm getting a town read.
Raskolnikov (I'm going to start calling you Rask for brevity's sake, unless you're not comfortable with that) - Buttered me up a little as I was his only town read, but I found him quick to emotion for merely being accused of not giving reasons. Yes, I found you over-defensive. However, I can't say that's scummy because I don't know if you're normally quick to emotion. I'll be keeping an eye on you also.
Plotinus - I completely understand that he's trying to get the game moving and I can totally understand if you ask once or twice, but he's nearly asking everyone about everyone else. I don't see this as a scum read. In fact, I see him as town - albeit a bit quirky. If anything, it's just a little annoying to read.
Franksa - He does feel that I'm scummy, and I can actually understand why. I FOS'd him and he's defensive. I'm not lifting my FOS, especially since he reacted very strongly to it.
Now this brings me to one last gentleman... (or lady)
Phantom - I definitely have a scum read right now. It's quite possible that he's just an aggressive player, but having scum/town reads is hardly grabbing, let alonetoo much.Plus, explicitly asking Franksa's role is at best, naive. Either way, it doesn't help us. I think at this point, he's scummy enough to be voted, on Day One too.
Unvote. Vote: PhantomCobalt
This boils down to:
- "Plot&Jake (the experienced players) town."
- "I'm jumping on Phantom as third."
- "no commit on anyone else."
- "p.s. no behavior is alignment indicative without meta."
Come on people. How is Kuro not the leading vote yet?-

You're struggling very hard for that whole RVS question. I can play Mafia, but acronyms and terminology I've only heard on this board isn't indicative of my skill.
Don't defend against points I am not making.
In post 224, tictac wrote:shows profound disinterest in what others are saying in the thread
It's very unbecoming for you to focus so much on it.
Your energy is better spent on something that means a damn.
BTW, if you want to shorten my name, please call me Kuroi - with an I at the end.
sure
VOTE: Kuroi
Yes!
Everyone is suspect, but not every post is. Am I supposed to zoom in on Player A joke-voting Player B during the beginning post of the games?
Yes it is.If something comes across as suspicious, I'll look a bit closer but to suggest I act paranoid on every vote isn't helpful.
So no, there wasn't doubt on me - not more than there was on any other person.
So you decided scumhunting was suspicious.
Also: Yes there was. You were suspected of buddying until you flipped your attitude towards Plot to "annoying".
Like Jake said,
Do your own defending.I wasn't trying hard in defending myself - nor was I defensive.
I think you were.
Now you aren't. I am detecting coaching.
Also: there is way more to scumhunting than seeing if someone is defensive or not.-

In post 233, Raskolnikov wrote:@tictac Hello! Can you comment (either way) on the 2 wagons we've had?
Not fully caught up yet.
From pre-read skim I buy the PC gambit mainly because of the timing.
Franks reaction seemed natural to me. Confusion leads to suspicion and suspicion leads to a vote.
From 207 Plots case on him seemed to consist of townreading nearly everything he does+ that reaction?
Not sure why people thought it was convincing.
I expect a scum within [Franksa, Plotinus]
Why?

I felt similarly to you about Kuroi earlier on but then I changed my mind with his later posts. Idk. When you're caught up if you still feel that way about him let me know. I started feeling better about Kuroi on page 3 somewhere but I don't remember why now. Wasn't sure if he was just being sloppy on page 4 or scummy (at the time i thought sloppy).
I've learned to scumread high showmanship+low actual content.
I'll see how it develops, but I'm not holding my breath.
+I'm thinking I caught him in an actual contradiction.
because i'm town
Could you link that?both serious and correct.
Your townread on me is based on the 3 posts I had up until that time? At this stage in the game I haven't done very much yet.
Not everything I post or read is in chronological order.
+You pretty much started the wagon you have on now in 26 so you could have better reads(as town) or less influence(as scum).
How do you feel about the "intent to put at L-1" part of that post?
Newbish. A bit timid. We don't have lol-hammerish people here. Time for being squeamish about L-1 has passed.-

You're implying that's what I wanted to do, which is wrong. That's a clear misinterpretation of what I said. Context is important.
You said "intent to lynch" man.
If you mean "I support this wagon", say "I support this wagon".
How are you more careful about putting someone in L-1 than lynching them?
+ I have a problem with your POE since you apparently cleared Kuroi and if your 1 active 1 passive is correct you are pretty much quaranteed to hit town in my view.
+ 1 active 1 passive probably isn't correct. Passive players are passive and active players are active. A different wincon doesn't change someones activity level.
I'll come back to this when I have more context on you.-

Was a "good enough for page 1" townread not a super serious one. But I was worried about franksa becuase I knew he'd read the last game I ICed where I townread Neko and Willow for the same thing early on, so I thought he might be doing it on purpose.
Huh. If you don't know what I am talking about, maybe it wasn't intentional.
You refused to share your reasons to scum/townread and the first impression people got from you was secretive.-

I said it. Roughkut. I've also played it in an e-fed calling UWE. I can certainly point you to two members of Mafiascum, but I want a mod to assure me I wouldn't break any rules by telling you.
play-by-mail then. Bit weird to conceptualize it as a 'place' but it's possible.
Since Roughkut did exist, is closed and did have mafia on it, I'll concede that you probably didn't lie about being unable to show your previous games.
I'm not creating a strawman argument. You are faulting me for not knowing what an RVS is, implying that I'm new.
That is exactly what a strawman is.
I have never 'faulted' you for being new.
I suspect you because youdidn'task about RVSsooner.
I admitted that what I said did seem like buddying, because he wasn't walking on egg shells and creating a dreadful day one. If you think I'm scummy for that, go ahead
Another strawman.
I think you are scummy because you flipped your expressed opinion on Plot without a visible reason when people said you were buddying.
(I am thinking coaching)
Your jedi mind tricks only work on the weak-minded.
You do realize you are casting yourself as Jabba the Hutt there?
Caught up enough to vote for me, though, it seems.
Yup.-

Yup. You said pretty much the same thing before. Why are you answering my statements as if they are questions?In post 256, Plotinus wrote:Being a little bit secretive about my reads in the first part of day 1 when I'm an IC, or otherwise in a town leader position, is a trick that I learned from goodmorning and I've seen other players like nacho do it too. If I haven't said what I'm thinking, then finding people who do say what I'm thinking can be signs that they share my alignment. If I say on page 1 that I think x and y and z are town for doing q then everyone will start doing q, whether they're town or scum and they'll all look alike.
But there comes a point when it outlives its usefulness. And it's hard for me to hold back; I can't keep it up very long.
If I'm interrogating somebody or if I'm interrogating people about somebody it probably means that I'm scumreading them, though.
Good to know.-

Not entirely sure I buy that you didn't know before this thou..
You are a pretty detailed reader and the game I described was pretty distinctive.
I'm happy to see you!
The feeling is mutual
When did you figure out I was me?
Yesterday when I was fact-checking 249.
Took me a while to decide what to do with the info.-

That's why I am not currently voting for you.
I'd had a newbie buddy in the scumgame I was playing in at the time and I just bussed him and I'd felt bad about it.
Are you bussing now?
I think also that I would have greeted you a little more enthusiastically here if I'd known.
I may have a bit of an ego, but I figured you might be a bit nervous about me if scum.I reskimmed your ISO and I didn't see that you mentioned that game other than your first post?

The reason I asked is it looks like you spent some effort in figuring out my thought process 303, but you didn't consider the scum POW. At all.
I figure you should be suspecting me of framing you at least a little bit.
Could be naive town or could be someone who knows my wincon for sure. Looks like you aren't naive town.

Not buying it.
"+I'd be lying if I said that strong townread Kuroi has on him and Rasks very clearly stated indifference to the Kuroi wagon isn't a factor."
Questioning the one thing you actually like about me is probably retarded but I want to know why what you say here would be an alignment indicative thing.
Oh,I was very unclear there. Shouldn't have used a plus sign.
It just signifies a point that is very probably crap, but I just can't let go of it.
I'm reading Kuroi as very scummy indeed, but also finding the slip believable. I must be mistaken about one of those.
In order of the slip to be faked, you would almost have to be his partner.
Thus I am finding myself paying attention to things that tie you to Kuroi. The more I find, the more I read you two as a single scummy unit.
1 day associatives are crap, but I'm not finding another way to resolve the conflict.-

Screw it. I'm just posting what I have so far.
In post 63, Raskolnikov wrote:Okay now I'm triggered. I guess people are happy with joke reasons other none? I really fail to see how anyone could make a serious vote at that extremely early part of the game, but ok.
@Jake I think I now understand a bit why you dislike rvs.
I'm probably over-defensive right now, but the logic or lack thereof I'm seeing actually makes me mad. Reads will be in next post, hopefully in a few minutes.
Frustration with RVS is a scumtell.
Anticipates townreading a scumread. Tells me that it's not genuine.In post 66, Raskolnikov wrote:
PhantomCobalt (SE) - There's almost no content in his four (4) posts, and given he is clearly active I want to see some. Slight scumread until I see him post reads.
Defends Kuroi.
Slight Townread
KuroiXHF - This may seem counter intuitive but his early FoS waving reads more to me like an eager town than a mafia sowing discontent.
"reads". 34 ("FOS people who haven't posted") can't be called a 'read' by any stretch of imagination since everybody had in fact posted.
On an unrelated note I'm excited the pace of this game is picking up.
The game was actually pretty slow from town POW at that point. Being scum is more exciting.
Preview-edit: Plotinus answered my question well, though I have him on the list above for completely different reasons, so I won't change it right now.
Again, anticipating changing ones mind weakens a read considerably.
anticipate townread on scumread.In post 78, Raskolnikov wrote:Plotinus has a good chance to change my mind about him come his read(s), though either way it's a good thing to ask for some from him, as if I do find him townish his reads will probably actually be decent.
Focus on "low value" rather than "scum".
I don't have hope for PhantomCobalt though. Even if town his posts are extremely low value (ISO and you'll see).
From what I can tell, he suspects two people. Firstly me, (the post after I read him as slightly scum) for going too hard too early.
Secondly Franksa for no reason given, again right after Franksa read him as slightly scum. Also as Franksa declares V/LA, though that is less significant
I don't believe Rask wouldn't recognize a gambit.
In post 82, Raskolnikov wrote:PhantomCobalt, you're driving me crazy.
I don't understand why you're asking for his role PM at this time.
I don't understand why you have a vote on me despite "slightly town-reading" me.
I don't understand why you want yet more posts from me when one of my posts has more content than all of yours put together.
I don't understand why you want to let "active players drag you us out of this hell" when you are clearly active yourself.
Can you at least give a real reason for your read(s). Not to defend franksa but even the slightest reason would be better than nothing; if all else fails and you say its gut/intuition that at least gives what you say some value.
focus on "low value"
In post 115, Raskolnikov wrote:How convenient that you scumread the people who first suspected you, right afterwards too.
At this point I am very convinced of his guiltiness: how his behaviour changed when accused (ISO him) gives me a panicked-scum vibe from him.
121 states clear scumread on PC(despite repeatedly. Immediately softens it in 122.
Before 121 repeatedly referred to PC as 'low value'.
Incoherence isn't a reason to scumread somebody and PC isn't incoherent.In post 130, Raskolnikov wrote:(talking about PC)
Honestly I'm having trouble arguing with you because it would mean to some extent understanding your position, but none of it makes sense at all. There's no consistency, nothing to even follow.
You still haven't given actual, good reasons for why you think people are scum, apart from vague one liners in my case
Reluctance to be seen as defending somebody is actually a pretty good scumtell, for this point in the game.
I see no attempt to understand where PC is coming from.
Even if your read(s) were accurate (obviously not on me, but its possible on franksa), with terrible or no reasoning as you have its essentially worthless. I hope for your sake you are mafia (I'm fairly confident), because as town play this dodgy would be inexcusable.
Again, "low value".
In post 136, Raskolnikov wrote:In post 129, PhantomCobalt wrote:@Raskol why do you assume that I was scum-reading frank when I asked him if he was mafia?
Seriously? If you can't see even see why someone would make that assumption, I'm done arguing with you.
"Done arguing" with a scumread? Why not probe him some?
PCs reason for that question is clear if one just looks. Rask didn't.
Really doesn't jive with repeated reference to Phantom possibly being badtown.In post 131, Plotinus wrote:PhantomCobalt on the other hand is obvscum. Like "would actual scum be that obvious?" obvious.
With his less-than-stellar defence I don't see a reason to change wagon for now. Even if he is town (<30% chance imo), at this point I think the faulty reasoning he has shown, in later days would be detrimental to town anyways.
More hedging bets.
This is essentially a policy vote on Jake for low participation, despite supposedly having a scumread on PC.In post 189, Raskolnikov wrote:
UNVOTE:

I see a lot of defending others and third-party(indirect) interaction from you, but not one significant effort to actually find/pressure a scum. If you have a scumread you sure aren't doing anything with it.
OK it doesn't mean you are scum but nonetheless I want you more involved. It seems to me like you've just been playing safe and making friends so far.
Careful to say he isn't scumreading Jake while voting him.
As for this franksa wagon,(snip)
But I like his reaction. If he is mafia he certainly isn't giving it away. I don't think lynching him is a good idea at this point.
Sheep Jake on franksas reaction being non-scummy. Was reluctant to give such view prior to this.
Vote on Jake & agreement with him in the same post. This is in conflict with saying he townred Kuroi for thought-sync.233

Okay, this is really difficult. I really don't like PC's play because I find it gimmicky and relies on gambits. Attempting to draw out scum through making them emotional, but in doing so he looks terrible himself.
Despite knowing PC looks that way in both alignments.I did meta him and I found he did this as both alignments though.
(snip)Plotinus's latest objectively fantastic posts.
Buddy, buddy.
He really didn't sound confident about that with the constant reference to PC being badtown instead.I was confident PC was scum and so didn't assign much weight to what he was saying.
Info-lynching is a really bad idea.Here's why it's really tempting though: the results that would come of it. Franksa lynched flipping scum would essentially confirm PC as town (99%), and for the most part Plotinus (~70%).
Here's why info-lynches are a bad idea. (I think he meant to say 'town')On the other hand if PC flips scum I'd probably be lost as to who it town or scumfirms .
LAMIST usually isn't scummy to me, but it is when it's hidden like this.(I see no reason to say this except to look town)(it would make me look good but that's only useful for everyone but me)
Cases on both PC & franksa were weak. Both of then flipping town is by no means absurd.Why is this important? I'm scumreading both of them but one of them must be town, and I'd rather go for the bigger upside, as well as the case I'm probably less biased about. If franksa is actually town I'll be almost certain PC is scum, though. If the 2 people I find scummiest are both town that would be absurd.
Smells like chaining mislynches. The retraction in 218 does soften this point thou, but could be caused by his partner telling him not to do the obvscum thing.
So I intend to vote Franksa. I don't want to put him to L-1 right now though as I don't trust people not to quickhammer.
Why not?
Intent to hammer while avoiding responsibility.If someone else puts him to L-1, let this be known as an Intent to Hammer.
This is just horrible and I don't believe Rask would be this bad as town.
Also horrible. Rolefishing is the only reason I can see for this.@Franksa would like a role reveal (soft would probably be enough at this time)
Retracts the scummy point, then directs attention to Plotinus instead (while saying Plot shouldn't be lynched).In post 218, Raskolnikov wrote:PC is probably town even if franksa is town as well.
Saying this makes all the conspiracy-stuff just noise.(possible distancing)I'm increasingly suspecting plotinus instead. A wagon on him would be stupid today,
Only if you want to lynch them.but that's probably where I'll start if franksa flips town. I don't know if it's worthwhile talking about my reasons for distrusting plotinus right now
That's a lot of words to ask for a read.In post 233, Raskolnikov wrote:(snip a huge bit about Plot being scum because he looks town)
It's overthinking, reaching too far I know, but it bothers me. In the hope of quelling this paranoia I want to know how PC sees Plotinus at this point in time. PC is probably town (since it's become apparent what he actually did thanks to Plotinus), and I think you get more of a read when you are more involved with the person, and I think being on the same case and then getting read directly by Plotinus should give PC a fairly good impression.
Comes across as really timid.
Why? Scum!Plot is capable of making a strong case on franksa. Plots case was weak. Might be a soft-bus, especially with the unvote.(if Plot is actually scum franksa is surely town).
A fallacy, but a common one. Town can do scummy things and it doesn't make a scummy thing less scummy.I don't like the interaction with Kuroi; I think its bad for him to criticize Kuroi's response as being quick to emotion when Franksa later reacts similarly to Phantomcobalt.
fair point.The other thing I don't like is his response to Plotinus: I feel he deliberately misinterpreted what Plotinus meant by "not every post in his ISO is scummy, but that's rarely the case"
Now he's reading PC as competent? I actually agree(for a given value of competent), but not really buying that he does.(on PC)He should read the results of his test well considering he is a player to use such things
That's 3 pretty solid townreads if he's willing to bet on all of them being correct.If franksa is town I expect the wagon on him to be bolstered by at least 1 mafia. As it is, there is PC (I think probtown), formerly Plotinus (probtown unless my conspiracy theory is correct), me (Town), and Maxspir, who gave no comment with his vote, which I think mafia wouldn't have the balls to do. In other words I think the people who are/were on the wagon is too townish, which makes Franksa look bad
Buddy,buddy.Now maybe Plotinus (or Jake) will come tomorrow and blow my mind with whatever he'll do next,
I'm not sure what it's called but I think it was a fallacy or bias of some sort to look too hard within the thing you've seen more of; even if someone is scummy there is no reason to believe the guy away would not be more scummy if he was here.
Could be defense of a buddy who is also active. Daytalk is a pretty good reason to expect both scum in the active crowd.
Townflip on franksa would make Plot only slightly more likely to be scum so this is illogic. I believe rask is logical, so things like this sound like deliberate twisting of words.In post 243, Raskolnikov wrote:
Because I suspect Franksa and if it isn't Franksa there is a small chance it is Plotinus (as per conspiracy theory 213).
Pretty early for POE, but plausible.Mostly its PoE though
It does matter if you are doing POE based off that.More active players (I expect 1 scum here)
PC, Plotinus, Franksa, Kuroi, Me
Less active (I expect the other scum in here)
Max, Jake, Convergent
Not much to say about this group. tictac I'm not assigning as either active/inactive since his slot replaced out, which I consider different from normal inactivity, but he's townlean to me so it doesn't matter either way.
Especially with only a lean on me. Again, I think you know I'm town.
Or you are bad at logic. Which I don't think you are.
I very carefully avoided sayingIn post 237, tictac wrote:Ending the day with substantial amount of time still on the clock is widely considered a scumclaim.
You're implying that's what I wanted to do, which is wrong.Iwas scumreading him based on that and he reacted as if to an accusation. weak sign of quilty conscience.
Very convoluted way of saying "I support this wagon". I believe he would have said "I support this wagon" is that is what he meant.
That's a clear misinterpretation of what I said. Context is important. The very reason I didn't even vote him but said I intend to in future is because I didn't want someone quicklynching and ending the day. I said this in that very post. Basically the point I was trying to get across was thatI support the wagonand would have voted had he not been L-2 at the time, so for that moment I would have a sort of have a ghost-vote with letting my intention be known.
I didn't want to be non-committal
Intentionally not giving scumtells is a scumtell.
It does.and I (obviously) trust my judgement not to quicklynch but I can see how that looks bad.
You shouldn't be if you have any scum-reads at all.In post 288, Raskolnikov wrote:I thought I'd mention I'm okay with or perhaps indifferent with the Kuroi wagon.
Comes across as not really caring where the lynch lands as long as it isn't on you.
(also Rask-Kuroi associative, but that is weak on day 1)
How did he show depth of thought? "FOS non-existing people?",he showed depth of thought and similar pov as I did early
Fair point, but I don't see a vote on Kuroi.but I think staying on PC even now is way too stubborn. (snip) I think a town would be more desperate to do stuff even if its risky and less willing to sit on a rather safe sort of dead wagon.
You chose to advice him on how to look less like scum instead of scumreading him for scummy behaviour.
Arguing for town-points for max, towny. (note possible associative for future thou)Oh yeah, after seeing the vc post: since max was inactive clearly before the logic was mentioned, I suppose he gets the same slight benefit upon replacing that tictac would?
Still not seeing a vote.In post 290, Raskolnikov wrote:
Can you explain because I'mIn post 287, KuroiXHF wrote:Rask and Jake come across strongly town, you're kind of in the middle, and most others aren't making contributions.seeing a massive contradiction here.
You guys know what I think about this.

Catches on quickly on what I was trying to say.
Spent some effort in this (or knew)
- Takes things that may implicate him very seriously.
- Didn't consider I might be scum trying to frame him. I don't believe that he did and excluded that because wanted to avoid drama because he is definitely not avoiding unnecessary drama when it comes to Plot.-
