ooh!
2. i like the people at dominion forum but part of the fun of mafia is making character judgments about people you don't know
3. thus far, i have been mafia twice and town once. at this point, i was happy to get town just because of that, but i also like town more because knowing everything is boring
4. i like target-investigative roles, the example here being tracker

_schadd, schadd_, sch_add are all fine. i'm usually schadd, i think it wanted a non-alphanumeric or something-

obv was not trying to softclaim tracker, nor softclaim not tracker, etc. that said, i also got the rolefishing impression5. if you had to sum up your role in this game in one (1) fleetwood mac song, what would it be?
i've been reading the thread. i don't really trust my townreads, esp. d1 (my first and only town game was a flawless scum victory) so i don't have anything really interesting to say. rn i think creature is town, GBT is kinda town
not taking the vote off of TB for now-

sure. claiming at L-1 on d1 is generally an accepted thing (i don't think anyone claimed before that in any of the three i played, except for v special occasions/being especially frustrated) and TB did that; he did it without reading, apparently, but also (implicitly) acknowledges in 150 that you generally need a reason to do it. this seems to me like he just decided ahead of time that he was gonna claim on L-2, which rings a bit scummy to me.In post 178, Raskolnikov wrote:

Can I get your analysis on some of the other players too?
re: other people: creature i'm town on, because GBT is especially confident about it; this seems too ridiculous for both scum and, uh, GBN seems uniquely confident enough about the read to rule out GBN town, creature scum.
GBT earns a bit of a townread just because they're posting very much a lot, not especially dense but not sparse either. at least, they are an especially confident scum player
nullish on you (raskol); interrogating is towny, emotions are scummy. a bit more of the former, tho
gayreen: agh, null. his only voting item was on me; newbie!clumsy!scumhunting is townie, voting me is scummy (+some tone je ne sais quoi that i don't like)
mbg: also null. 4 kinda sparse posts
again, i'm not confident on townreads-

2. .... how exactly would I "screw up"? like outright scumslip or
3. Really? Most people (especially tone readers) usually believe that some degree of emotion is possible to fake as scum, but usually you can tell if someone is being genuine if you know what to look for. Like Rask's emotions feel really natural and reasonable considering their contexts (his annoyance at me saying that his play was within his scumrange probably, his reaction to TB's claim) to me. Scum might react more... obviously? (like they might state "ugh i'm pissed that..." and not really show their emotions as much through tone)
3. yeah, maybe i'm not as good at that as other people. i have scumread many a town for what seemed to me like "ugh i'm pissed that"

not sure where those questions come from. all i was saying is that when someone votes for me, it makes them seem scummy to me, given that i know my alignment. the second question doesn't have an answer; town can totally misread me. the first question doesn't make sense to me; if gayreen is scum, he is going to want to lynch a town during the day (which he would try to do by saying he has a scumread on them). he will also want to kill a town during the night.In post 213, Shade wrote:
why should scum bother to scum read you when they can just kill you? why town can't mistakenly scum read you? You're making no sense.In post 198, schadd_ wrote:it makes it scummy from my perspective, tho; maybe you should seem town to everyone else
to add to this, even though it is very unlikely that a townie can be confident about who scums are on the first page, voting is still a good idea. firstly, most games have RVS at the beginning; there isn't really a way to naturally have discussion, especially if everyone is in the same position (not voting, not voted for). voting for people makes asymmetry and gives town something to talk about (which GBT sorta mentioned). as well, it makes you accountable; announcing townreads/scumreads as scum is difficult and unnatural because you already know alignments, and you're necessarily fabricating some reason to want to kill someone if they're town, or not to kill them if they're scum. people are bad at doing this. thus, if i say i think TB is scum for X reason, not only do other people get to talk about the validity of X reason, but also it makes me seem towny because that would have been a (slightly) difficult post to make if i were scum.In post 218, gigabyteTroubadour wrote:
If you have a scumread (you think someone is more likely to be mafia based on their posts and your perception of their motivations), then it's simply playing to win to vote to have them lynched. The only reason, at least to me, to withhold your vote is if you're not ready to end the day with a hammer and claim.In post 213, Shade wrote:Why would you vote someone to get them lynched, that soon in the game?
I'm assuming that by asking that, (if this is not true then you can ignore this question) that there's a reason you believe I shouldn't have voted TB in that instant? If so, why?
incidentally, if somebody avoids taking stances or only parrots what other people say, it will seem very scummy.
hope this makes sense.-

@GBT, rask: how many games have you played?
i feel in a bit of a weird position. GBT can apparently confidently townread half the cast, and neither of rask and creature has really called them out on it. so, uh, we're golden i guess?
i'm gonna evaluate lynches, pretending that we haven't won the game. which is a possibility
TB is uh a vt if he's town, so that's a fine lynch. to me, he seems totally fake, but sometimes i hear people talking IRL and i'm like, you're scum, buddy, and TB gives me the same impression as those people. also, the fact that he colored "vanilla townie" green makes me wanna puke. esp. since it's the mod color, as i mentioned. he still has some posting to do.
rakkar is an uninformative lynch i think. he has posted twice and been talked about.
shade is active and tryna scumhunt, so, a bad lynch. creature is on him, though, and he's town. as far as my read goes, uh, the questions seem hard to fake but there seems to be a bit of a non-linear character progression. i will either explain that later or never.
another option: if GBT is actuallythatgood at reading people, we can just lynch them and then know they're not fudging things up. which is a nagging concern that i have, albeit a small one
gonna stay on TB for now. there is more to be learned and we already know a lot, it looks like-

i asked myself whether i should reread shade and make sure that makes any sense and i decided, nah, i should just say that i might never talk about it again.In post 321, gigabyteTroubadour wrote:i would like to hear about shade's non-linear character progression though
what it really boils down to is having an opinion on claiming:
...while also asking a bunch of questions that seem to reflect a misunderstanding of scum's intentions. there's a super obvious and likely town narrative there (not being/having been scum; understanding that lynch at l-1 after intent is standard/parroting other people's opinions) but it's also stuff that a scum emphasizing newbieness would try to feignIn post 272, Shade wrote:Second I didn't vote Thinkbig for his claim. I'm voting him because I want him to answer "why he claimed".
i don't like to overdo this but there isn't anything else going on:
scum to town
thinkbig
rakkar
shade
gayreen
rask
matthew broderblack
creature = GBT
...where "still substantially null" starts with matt and ends with rakkar

rask is doing a lot of head-nodding, automated yesman behavior. "yeah, uh-huh, yep" with really shallow concerns tacked on.
this definitely describes less than all scenarios. this is a mafia forum, and it's probably hard to find if you're completely unfamiliar with the game, but there has probably existed some newbie, somewhere, that would see this post and say something readable about their role. it's really not a large probability, but scum might be able to pick off a PR with little risk, and i don't really see any way the question could add to discussion/hold people accountable somehow.In post 392, cassielle wrote: 1: noobtown seems to lean toward the paranoid side. theyd see q4 and dive deep into the ocean of WIFOM madness and decide its best to just pick a role that isnt theirs, or they wouldnt care and the mafia learns absolutely nothing even despite that. certainly no ones gonna ask about vt, how the hell can this be rolefishin since everybody gonna pick a p common role most likely but no ones gonna say vt? scumscuse for anti-town behavior imo
uh, this doesn't make sense, especially considering that several other people are doing the same thing. newbies can be townread pretty easily, and apparently creature can as well.In post 392, cassielle wrote:also noticing a lot of strong townreads from gbT but v weak scumreads, which is a tactic i employ as scum. you have perfect knowledge and you want to hide that, but you also have to look like youre contributing. this guy gets 4 perfect townreads by p4, but doesnt have any good scumreads? yeah no not buying that garbage.
this is dumb. you gotta think of things in terms of town narratives vs. scum narratives, i.e., something is only scummy if scum is more likely to do it than town. sure, there's a pretty little reason that scum might do it (which assumes that someone isn't playing to their win condition, which is just not a good assumption) but there's also a super obvious reason town would do it, so that they are easier to read, which town wants to be.In post 392, cassielle wrote:am more certain after 110: getting bored, no suspicion in their direction, trying to encourage people to read past games so theyll see their town game and get suspicious (and i did). wants to have a chance of losing but everybody tiptoing around the subject and/or sheeping.
i'm assuming you're referring to this sentence:In post 392, cassielle wrote:also dismissing softclaims in an overly WIFOM-aware way, smells like S C U M. down to nullscum you go pal
firstly, that's not wifom. people asked whether i was softclaiming and i clarified that i wasn't. "not claiming tracker" kind of implies that you're not the tracker, so i added the second part. secondly, how is wifom in terms of your power role scummy? the sole reason you have wifom with respect to PRs is to get scum to nightkill the wrong people.In post 112, schadd_ wrote:obv was not trying to softclaim tracker, nor softclaim not tracker, etc.
115 uh, i don't see it. the third line, maybe? like, you're assuming that they said that thinking everyone is sheeping them, and so they asked me to figure out the gap in their townreads? again, this just makes sense as GBT is asking me opinions on someone they can't figure out.In post 392, cassielle wrote:gbT trying to test the waters with how far they can make people sheep them in 115, seriously now. why was this not discussed? oh yeah because schadd_ legitimized it. S C U M B U D D I E S
detail is what i used, as scum, to look like i was doing something. if you say something simple and then link to a post, then the attention is taken off of yourself. to add to this, i don't really have any grandiose reasoning for anyone, but i have given some amount of support for all of my moderately strong reads; you can probably find them if you really want to. i couldn't go through everyone without repeating myself. if you scumread me for that, cool.In post 400, cassielle wrote:schadd_; really, i just want you to explain your reads in detail, like, fullstop. theyre not feeling nice to me, im not liking them one bit. convince me you came by them honestly

alrighty then.In post 491, cassielle wrote: regarding my reads on you: the little bit of WIFOM-awareness in there was like, cherry on top? its not a strong aspect of what im working off of atm. theres also post 53's sheer evil (NAI at /best/ but no town wants to know that for town reasons imo, the best hope is sheer curiosity) and your really strange reads list.
-again, not wifom.
-53 i dunno what NAI is. i posted that, kinda curious about the etiquette about IC & SE (where i played, there wasn't anything like that & newbies aren't distinct in any official way) and also knowing that somebody would probably have to answer uncomfortably
-mm. i'll have to take your word for it. maybe we disagree on rask because L-1 is easier to shrug off where i come from (it's not like there is any danger really associated with it; if somebody just hammers and then TB flips town, cool, let's go after the hammerer) and GBT because, uh, i don't see why you think they shut discussion down. we have, like, 20 pages here. also linking games about yourself is a bit brash and hard to do effectively as scum.
fuck, let's just go through all of them.
gayreen: you say "everyone agrees obvtown" a lot. i think that he's low on content, and tends to ask "should i do this?" a lot, which is definitely newbie but i don't see it as alignment indicative. i would say that my past reasoning def. wasn't "i don't like him," and i think i even clarified too much why it wasn't that. he voted for me with what i thought was a kinda dumb reason, and then didn't get why i found that scummy.
mbg: asks people for clarification a lot, seems to be reading a lot more than posting, and not drawing attention to himself. this is, i think, marginally more likely to come from town. going from mostly null to calling out an exact scumteam is definitely odd, but he's at least making himself accountable. i think scum doesn't really want to put themselves that much out there.
shade: 320, 365
TB: first line of 180, and 320 has some ~feelings~
creature i'm content to not look too hard into for today.
these seem like different things. please feel free to ask me for clarification (and i would ask that you use the post tag)cassielle wrote:i havent seen any of your reasoning for your reads. i cant parse the reasoning behind a fair few.-

a lot of stuff from cass strikes me as confirmation bias rather than intentional misrepresentation.
@675: i agree that gayreen was quite low-content and made a lot of easy jabs. the inconsistency in character thing doesn't entirely make sense to me, but i see it regarding his finnicky/unfinnicky voting.
678 scumslip is the word of the day, isn't it. also a lot of this hinges on skimming being scummy, which i don't think is the case. wanting to post soon is pretty towny; scum tends to be more calculated. i guess, more so, it's NAI (which i know know what it means).
eh. i could consider the lynch, though. atm, gayreen is kinda on the scum side to me (i was expecting more to come out of him at my last list, which ofc it never did) and -grey- is angry, and kinda null. townish posting tendencies (simple callouts, responding frequently & self-consistently) but getting a bit too frustrated with cass's arguments (she's done that with, like, everybody, bub)
staying on TB; i want him to be at L-1 when he explains the reads. am v excited-

what happened to that?In post 743, cassielle wrote:schadd_ began slightly defensive but cleared himself after he realized i wasnt just trying to smash him flat -- i genuinely wanted to be convinced
re actilurking: uh, i would say that i'm actually just doing the regular kind of lurking. i'm def. reading the thread, but for the last 6 pages i kinda wanted to let grey & cass argue, which has been fun.
readlist concerns are probably valid.
town
creature - dead horse (but watch it be a GBT-creature scumteam)
rask - claimed tracker and hasn't been counterclaimed. plus, tracker is a kind of difficult fakeclaim i think. forgetting this, though, i would put him at null-kinda-kinda-town. claim matches this one (again, needs a login; to quote: "Fuck this. I am the tracker. Move your vote now." the dude was the tracker.) he's also taken the same attitude as me about cass & grey arguing, which is biased. has been emoting a lot, which gets harder to do while seeming consistent, which he has as far as i can find. giving me a full newbie clear in 518 is odd considering his attitude in 563 (and i don't think i should be easy to read)
nulltown
shade - really nothing sticks out to me in a bad way. last time i commented about him i was worried about feigned newbiness, but there has been a steady growth in, e.g., use of the lingo and stuff that makes that seem more difficult to do. not impossible, though. he has also not been that big on reads; i certainly wasn't D1 of my first game but he has been calling out individual posts a lot; this is easier to do as scum than broad reads of a person i think. this isn't very strong, though, and there's def. some amount of scumhunting
null
GBT - well, dipped off a bit in terms of posting, which sorta kills my town-from-posting-a-lot read. 695 seems a bit of a convenient piece of emotionsing, considering such. my prevailing opinion about them now is that they shouldn't be readable D1.
mbg - there's a lot of stuff that reads as newbscum that is afraid of D2. town always has the reassuring knowledge that they're town, and any votes that they do are ultimately justified. as well, as a newbie, i was generally excited to try my hand at scumhunting and wasn't really worried about my reasoning being dumb. i'm not a fan of mbg's hesitance with voting and, recently, tendency to discredit his reads. i'm not sure how his confident reads at the start of the day fit in to this narrative. this all aside, he's been really transparent with his reasoning, and more so as the game progressed.
nullscum, not ordered
cass - wowowow, schadd. she went up to nullscum once she voted you, jeez. but yeah, not a fan. i think that she has gone back and forth on everyone at this point, maybe except shade. she is very talented in the art of choosing a person and cooking up a bunch of scum narratives and slips and whatever. it gets hard to townread that after a while, and it gets less useful as the days progress at the very least.
greyreen - more of a read on gayreen than -grey-, still. there ofc isn't more to say about gayreen since 738. grey is definitely angry, which i think you get good at feigning if you play F2F, but who knows. pointing things out before reading all the way is kinda towny, but i would think he knows that. there's a lot of rhetorical/unanswerable questions which gives me a yucky impression (see 534, 609, 801, 838). it's kinda hard for me to divorce scum from mean and abrasive, so this is more difficult.
tb - still waiting on the readlist, winky face-

mm. the one that stuck out to me was, perhaps intuitively, the one that you asked me. 801, "schadd_, why does your ISO read like coasting scum?" and obviously, i mean, i don't really see it, because i'm town. me being able to answer this pulls counter to the sentiment of 842 (though this may have been a rhetorical question, heh). so, it feels like you're just fishing for me to not be able to answer your question.In post 879, -Grey- wrote:

numbers addedIn post 880, cassielle wrote:1 cleared my original concerns, yes. there are new ones,and some old ones, and my concerns arguably should have been addressed better by you originally.
2 did you see 876? it's a very good read. from the time i entered the game this has been a concern and it keeps going that way. you keep dodging scrutiny. may or may not be related, but lets live on the edge and just flatly claim that it is, unsupported by evidence.
3 and you sure are hyperdefensive. vote for you = scum instantly? why? why is scumreading you scummy? and where is your scumhunting behavior? scumhunting is natural to town even if it gets pointed the wrong way once in awhile
4 why is your vote the same exact vote as post #7? why has that not moved? its safe to say the wagon has stalled, in fact, on multiple separate occasions. do you really believe in that vote that much? do you truly have that much conviction in it? where do you get that conviction from a 23 post ISO which is devoid of content?
5 why is this second readslist substantially identical to the first aside from "gbT went inactive" "shade is uh something lets call it nulltown" "i actually have an opinion on cass and its mostly because she voted me and tries to aggressively scumhunt"? why would gbT taking a day or two off (because thats all its been, really) instantly drop them to null? why does it seem like you cant form an actual opinion on shade and so you just throw that slot in nulltown? indeed, from your description, why not just null? why are all your reads weak and without conviction?
6 how the hell are 801 and 838 unanswerable or rhetorical? mbg managed to answer 838, which is the exact opposite of that, and -grey- has pursued and asked followup questions to all of your examples. er, except 801. because, well, you havent even tried to answer it to begin with, just thrown your hands up and said "impossible! must be rhetorical." why dont you want to answer?
1. cool
2. uh, i don't have especially a lot of townreads. creature has a thing, gbt i think is unreadable rn, as i said (i could lynch them on a different day, feel free to hold me to this), rask claimed. outside of them you see a kinda nuanced list.
as far as dodging scrutiny, what in particular are you referring to? beating a dead horse but you do have a tendency to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks, and there's a lot that i don't think is worth responding to/don't really understand. what do you think is your strongest criticism of me?
3. mm, not instantly. if you're talking about how i'm reading you, there's other stuff.
what counts as scumhunting? i point out what i don't like.
4. why should it have moved? a 23 post iso that is devoid of content sucks. i've continually wanted him to come back with votes on his head, he never has, and that makes me want to keep the vote there.
5. uh, the people are the same people, still. except for the two that switched out, who are, granted, in the same place but with different reasons. tb has provided no reason to change the read, creature isn't gonna move, rask claimed. so, now there are 6 spaces to switch around, and they kinda did. gbt is not in null because they took a day off, but how, as somebody (rask? but can't find it in his iso) pointed out, posting a lot isn't as impressive if you like playing scum.
as far as the last part, uh, that is where we play this game differently. you can'tactuallyknow who's scum day 1. i only played the one town game but i have read through a lot of other ones, and i've been wrong enough times that having "conviction" just sounds dumb.
6. elaborated on why 801 is bad in 894. he's asking me to explain something that he is reading in me-

Attempting to redirect my question as a reason to scumread me isn't going to make me go away.
do you see the issue, though? the way that i naturally approach this game reads badly to you. i don't really know what about me reads like coasting scum. my skill in mafia is making connections between things people say, building/remembering characters, and uh math on occasion. prodding at people and arguing, not so much. my habit is to wait for people to argue things out and then find what's fishy. maybe that ends up sounding like actilurking or something, i don't know. adding on, you said it yourself, D1 is dumb, things will make more sense to me later on.
dunno if this is what you're looking for-

...because i feel slightly town on shade, all things considered? it's ultimately kinda gut, as most reads are, but he did a reasonable swath of town stuff (pointing out some inconsistencies, having some opinions) and asked questions about scum motivation, and there was increasing reason to believe that he wasn't feigning it.-

i have thought about it for 29 hours and determined that this post is meaninglessIn post 1097, cassielle wrote:for a minute there i thought maybe we could actually scumhunt properly (yknow instead of trying to pick the easiest player to build a case on when QED all of our townreads are messed up) but im p sure most of town is going to take that deal in 1096 because im easiest target
only issue is that im gonna flip green
im standing by 1092
im also gonna say that ... TOWN: regardless of your opinion on his reads: RadiantCowbell's post 1095 is /mandatory reading/
there will be a /test/
seriously, reread that post until it is burned into your brain
your town block contains one or both scum
you need to lynch them before you run out of MLs
today is the best time but im willing and ready to go down as a martyr on this so you can get it right d3*
again: you are townreading scum, period

Even though you can't bring up examples, you could still summarize it right?
It's a stupid tactic that is overused when a little dancing could avoid a scum lynch 99% of the time.-

-grey-: i'm leaning town. we have someone on dominion forum that's very similar (argumentative, likes to tick people off, pulls shit like 1131) and he is more helpful and easy to deal with as scum, to the point of being a tell. obv they're different people though, but that's the parallel that i have
i could go for a creature lynch. i guess there isn't really strong reason to believe me but i was sorta feeling uncomfortable with him through d1 for uh other reasons that he voted for me (you can kinda see i just stop talking about him in readlists, and i went from "he's town" to "he's not readable today probably" around the same time as i did so with gbt) (it went sorta the same way i feel about toni morrison: good thing i know that she got an award for being a good storyteller, because otherwise i'd be pissed). assuming it's not gigabyte/creature, i can totally see him noticing giga's read on him, totally not acknowledging it at all, and proceeding to try to seem engaged; his d1 iso is a bunch of one-liners, kinda dime-a-dozen opinions, and general opinions of the game as a whole; not a lot of reasoning on reads. not like there isn't a town narrative there (one of our better town players is sorta similar), but it fits cleanly as an inflating-y scum. assuming itisa giga/creature team, l0l
