hohum, would you rather he claimedafterthe cop (if there is one) said "hey, I have a guilty on saber" instead of before?
And no, you can't compare claiming VT to claiming miller in this setup.FoS: hohum.About the only thing they both do is tell scum not to waste time assuming he's a useful PR (but the miller claim should also make him more or less confirmed/unlynchable).Discretion is the better part of valor.

My random vote's still on? Crap.Unvote,although I agree that Suave's play is a bit worrisome and worth keeping an eye on.
We seem to have moved on, but this is probably worthy of note (since someone brought up setup analysis): there's a 60% chance that saber's telling the truth with his claim, and 70% of the time, it doesn't make sense for scum to be the first ones to claim a town PR. (Hint: Don't get me started on setup analysis. I can put a lot of effort into it.)Discretion is the better part of valor.

Now you mention meta, I'd need to take a look back at 813, but I kinda think I got similar vibes from Suave there that I get here. (For reference, he flipped scum in Mini 813.)
saber, at least in part, sounds a lot like me. I'm a very analytical player, but unlike him, I can't do gut scumhunting. (It also helps me a lot if I have a bunch of material to work with.) If Suave would get on and claim, I'd be able to offer my thoughts on if the claim makes sense or not... I do have them, but if he's scum who needs a fakeclaim, I won't give it to him.Discretion is the better part of valor.

I don't know I'd say it was clear that's what Suave was doing... I think there's at least one thread in MD saying you should never claim D1 if you're vanilla. The "scum will just kill me if I claim" could have been seen as a doc softclaim, but I can sort of see why someone might think that was hammer-worthy.Alduskkel wrote:And why didn't anyone unvote (or, for Santos, why did you hammer) when it was clear that Mr. Suave was basically claiming Doctor?
That said, Santos, it is legal, and even encouraged, to hold off on a hammer like that while waiting for comments from a few other players. Can we keep that in mind for today?
Fail, hohum. That was my random vote, which I took off because Suave was at L-1 on page 4 and I was unintentionally contributing to said wagon. (81 was an antiprod, I just saw that you thought it was time to prod me and decided something needed to be said.)hohum wrote:Go read it. In a single breath he goes from unvoting to saying "I STILL THINK HE'S SCUMMY"
Either I need to get better at figuring out what you need me to tell you, or you need to get better at reading between the lines of previous posts. From post 99:hohum wrote:His inability to insert himself into the discussion is troubling. Post 127 screams "I can't form an opinion" to me.

Alduskkel, I think there are better places to put your vote (like, I dunno, where mine is). I have a town read on Santos, and I don't really see that changing in the foreseeable future.
mal, that goes for you too, and I still need you to answer my question about the reasons for your Santos vote.Discretion is the better part of valor.

hohum: The only thing I see wrong with that plan is the "lynch Santos" part. I would be quite fine with lynching you even if we don't lynch Santos.

Mmkay. There are two main reasons:
- Probably the less important one is that he misrepped my reason for unvoting Suave, completely neglecting the fact that it was my random vote (which I only, I dunno,mentioned when I unvoted... really, is reading that hard?). If he'd actually followed his own advice of "Go read [the post where ToD unvoted Suave]," he should have seen that.
- The larger reason, however, is his attempt D1 to discredit saber's claim. It wouldn't be as big an issue if he hadn't then had thecojonesto tell me to "Think about [the claim]" and, in the same post, told Suave to "Read the setup carefully." (This is post 49, for those keeping track.) Which implies that he had. I don't know how much he remembers me from Open 120, and he may not have been paying too much attention to me on his read when he replaced in... but I take pride in my setup analysis skills. So I thought about it, and I posted my results... except I read the setup wrong, and have since had to rethink. It turns out that there is literally no scenario where scum have a better-than-even chance of fakeclaiming a PR D1 as the first claim of the game and getting away with it (full explanation available upon request), and I would think that if hohum had actually thought about the setup, he would have realized that.
So essentially, he has on multiple occasions told other players to do something that he implicitly claims to have done, but upon examination, almost certainly didn't actually do. This is lynchworthy.Discretion is the better part of valor.

Think about it.
Miller in this setup is a worthless role.
Read the setup carefully. There MAY be a miller, there MAY not be. Don't discount a possible gambit here. That's all I'm trying to say.MrSuave wrote: I'm pretty sure that because no one has counter claimed, he's pretty much confirmed. I too am having suspicions of why hohum is so negative towards this claim. Really, that claim would only negativly affect scum. =O... just saaaaaaying
I'm not saying for sure that he's lying but I'm also not rushing to the conclusion that he's cleared.
I fail to see how I should have been able to get anything out of those quotes other than "HAY GUIZE DONT TRUST SABER". Especially when you tell us to think about/read the setup (or something else) carefully and then come to conclusions that you can't have reached by actually doing what you've told us to do. (If you'll notice,hohum (53) wrote:If he were really the miller I would rather him stopped to analyze the setupthat'sthe underlying issue with both of my stated reasons in 220 for voting you.)

@Santos: Mmm... to get a claim, you'll need to (a) put your vote back on him and (b) find someone willing to hammer. It's only "claim or die" if he's under imminent threat of lynch, and until/unless DeathSauce returns, I don't think that's happening: I'm not hammering, mal claims not to understand the basis for the wagon (TBH, I'm not exactly sure I do either), and Alduskkel's not going to self-vote.
@hohum:
a. Fixed numbers.hohum wrote:Trumpet: I noticed you conveniently left out the very last thing I said to or about Saberwolf on D1:
Posthohum wrote:that's a good point I suppose.55. A direct response to Saber's post54
You're making a scum case on me based on my faulty assumptions. I let go of those assumptions a long time ago.
b. The good point, for reference:
Which is not related to what I'm accusing you of being scum for. In 49 and 53 you were at least strongly suggesting, if not outright saying, that there was a likelihood worth considering that saber was fakeclaiming.saberwolf wrote:there tottaly is a need [for a miller] to claim.
1. if i make it to the end game and its a cop, scum and myself and they investigate me, it's a loss for town.
2. if a cop comes out and says he got a guilty on me, that cop is toast over a town kill.
Couldit have been a scum fakeclaim (considering what we knew at the time)? Sure, anything'spossible.
Was itlikelyto be? Only if you expect scum to be suicidal. And if you'd actually thought about it like you told me to do, you'd have realized that.Discretion is the better part of valor.

No, but you do remove a random vote for the sake of removing a random vote that's contributing to L-1 on somebody. A non-policy D1 lynch that only takes a few pages to hit is, generally speaking, a Bad Thing. As such, it should take much scummier behavior than usual to make it not a bad idea. Suave may have been scummy, but he wasn'thohum wrote:My random vote was on suave and I kept it on suave because I found him suspicious. You as much as said you thought he was suspicious but you removed your vote anyways. You don't remove a random vote for the sake of removing a random vote if you have a negative read on someone. Hence: scummy unvote.thatscummy.
Let's take a look at that wagon again, shall we?
Post 56:Suave's at two random votes (mine and yours). You say you're fine with your vote, and as one of the reasons, you give this gem (which I somehow didn't see earlier):
The way you've phrased it, it sounds like you would be okay with pushing for a policy lynchhohum (56) wrote:
Pushing for a policy lynch before anyone has had a chance to scum hunt is scummy.MrSuave wrote:this also seems like it could be plausable, and this is why his playstyle is so dangerous. policy lynch!unvote vote:hohum[b/]afterpeople have had a chance to scumhunt. May I ask on what planet you spend most of your time? I thought the idea behind a policy lynch was that you get the player out of the way so that they're not a distraction when you're trying to actually scumhunt, so pushing for one before anyone's had a chance to scumhunt is actually the best time to do it.
Post 57:DeathSauce adds his vote for the reason that "policy lynches are bad." If that had been all hohum said, I wouldn't be complaining.
Post 68:Suave continues saying a policy lynch would be a good idea.
Post 70:You confirm-vote Suave for "hiding behind someone else's assessment of my meta to justify pushing for a page 3 policy lynch." Again, when would you rather have it?
Post 81:I drop in, promising a post (of actual content) within the next ~30 hours.
Post 83:Alduskkel wonders why SuaveScum would try to get a hohum policy lynch if the votes weren't there.
Post 85:dramonic says he's waiting for saber to answer a question before he votes Suave. saber answers in 86, and dramonic votes in 87, putting Suave at L-1.
Post 89:Santos offers to hammer.
Post 90:
When you posted (less than half an hour after dramonic voted), yes, he was at L-1. When he posted, he was not, but the implication I get from that post is that you wanted to sound like Suave wasn't contributing even when he was at L-1, when I don't think he had had an opportunity to do at that point.hohum (90) wrote:
You're at L-1. Are you even going to try and contribute anything to this game? If you are scum you're making this too easy and if you're town you're really shooting us in the foot.MrSuave wrote:that's because I'm not scum, DURR
Post 91:You tell Santos not to hammer.
Post 93:Alduskkel apparently dislikes hitting L-1 that fast.
Post 95:You're fine with leaving him at L-1.
At the time of my unvote, the reasoning from everyone else on the wagon looked like "he wanted a policy lynch, so we want a serious one." From the given description of your meta (and Open 120, though I hadn't gone and looked at it), you sounded (and still do; in fact, you're proving the point) like a policy lynch target I could at least understand. (If, say, Tarhalindur was the target, it'd be a different argument, because when he's town, he's a great asset to town.)
Moving right along:
You know what, I'm getting tired of going around in circles with you. You're generating enough bullshit that you should go into politics.hohum wrote:you know what, I'm getting tired of going around in circles with you. You're pushing a scummy case.
You've been talking out of your ass all game. If you're scum, you need to die ASAP; if you're town, you're doing more harm than good and need to die before LyLo.
Agreed. Now quit coaching your scumbuddy. (And yes, dramonic is my next strongest scum read.)hohum wrote:@Dramonic: more analysis from you please. You're remarkably quiet this game. Quite unlike you.
Close, but not quite. Something like "Hey ToD, could you look at the setup some?" would have been fine. My issue is that to back his argument up, he tried to use a source that showed the opposite of what he was trying to prove, showing that he either didn't actually read it carefully (that is, didn't do what he implied he did) or was lying about what conclusions he could draw from it.DeathSauce wrote:If I am reading it correctly, you are saying hohum is scum because he urged you to read the setup carefully, even though he hadn't?Discretion is the better part of valor.
If I helped lynch you, you deserved it.

The "long ass post" was not designed as an attack post; those are elsewhere. If you're too lazy to look, I'm too lazy to show you where they are.DeathSauce wrote:ToD, that is one long ass post that showed me nothing.
Here, let me show you how I get "there's no way saber could have been fakeclaiming" while only using what we knew when he claimed:
Fact:Only scum have a reason to fakeclaim miller.
Fact:Scum know the existence or lack thereof of only one PR (mafia RB).
Fact:From a scum perspective, if there is a mafia RB, the unknown PRs are two from a set of four (=50% chance that any one was selected = 50% chance of getting CC'd if non-VT is randomly claimed).
Fact:From a scum perspective, if there is no mafia RB, the unknown PRs are three from a set of four (=75% chance that any one was selected = 75% chance of getting CC'd if non-VT is randomly claimed).
Fact:With the knowledge available to scum, there was either a 50% or 75% chance of getting counterclaimed if they fakeclaimed miller as the first claim of the game.
Assumption:Scum will not fakeclaim unless the chances of their getting counterclaimed are lower than 50%.
Conclusion:There was no situation in which saber's claim, coming when it did, could have been a fakeclaim.
Are we all clear on this? Good.
Now, let's look at what hohum says in post 49:
What he seems to be saying is, he read the setup carefully, came to the conclusion that it could be a scum fakeclaim, and that's a conclusion that's supported by the setup. But it wasn't. Therefore, either he didn't do what he implied he did and read the setup carefully enough, or he lied about his conclusions. Either way, he lied (either implicitly or explicitly), and therefore needs to be lynched. I can't think of a third reason he could have come to his stated conclusion that there was a significant chance saber could have been fakeclaiming.hohum (49) wrote:I don't think it makes him confirmed or unlynchable at all. You're operating under the assumption that he's telling the truth.
Think about it.
*snip*
Read the setup carefully. There MAY be a miller, there MAY not be. Don't discount a possible gambit here. That's all I'm trying to say.
I'm not saying for sure that he's lying but I'm also not rushing to the conclusion that he's cleared.
If there's a flaw in my logic, by all means, feel free to point it out to me.
Define "fixated." If you mean "pushing really hard for his lynch"... well, yeah, because that's what you do to your strongest scum read. If you mean "ignoring the other players"... no. I don't like to show all my cards at once (see sig), so I might not have posted this before, but I've definitely been paying attention to the other players. dramonic's my next-strongest scum read (though substantially less), you and mal haven't really posted much that I can use to get a solid read, Santos is town, and I agree with Alduskkel.DeathSauce wrote:I think you are fixated on hohum
...and hohum's similar behavior towards Alduskkel and myself is not? Really?DeathSauce wrote:and it is to the detriment of the game.Discretion is the better part of valor.

Okay, on most points. That's the only thing we've disagreed on this game that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm a bit time-crunched, so I can't look now, but I don't expect I'd find much else.Alduskkel wrote:

People plural? I see one: DeathSauce. And he's only done that once.
@Everyone: If you think my case is scummy, please answer the following question:
"Reaching a conclusion that does not follow from the facts allegedly being used to get there is scummy." What, if anything, is wrong with that statement? And remember, if you can't identify what you disagree with, you're probably wrong.Discretion is the better part of valor.

I was working on a nice, long post for a couple of you (and some AP Physics homework that took substantially longer than I was expecting), then saw what DeathSauce and Santos had to say about mal.
My take: He's maybe not the lynch I'd like, but he's not one I'm actively opposed to, either, and yeah, what they pointed out is rather incriminating. As much as I wasn't expecting to do this,Unvote; Vote: malpascp.
That's L-1. A claim from mal is probably in order.

Oh, he still is. I'm just reaching a point of "fuck, this isn't getting anywhere," so I'm switching to a lynch that, while not the best, is not actively bad and is more likely to happen. (In fact, in the post I'd been working on, I was going to ask you, "All right, who else do you think I should look at?" Then DeathSauce and Santos were nice enough to preempt the question.) I mean, I'll probably come back to hohum if we're both still alive after N2, but I'm becoming resigned to the fact that I'm probably not going to be able to get him lynched today.Discretion is the better part of valor.

Hint: If hohum and I are agreeing on something, there's probably something to it.
Well, that depends on how you define "ready to lynch" and "just about anyone," now, doesn't it?DeathSauce wrote:Man, you are ready to lynch just about anyone, aren't you?
Surely you have some suspects, though. I'm gonna echo hohum's request for a case on someone. Anyone. (Also, I must have missed where you said Alduskkel was distancing before. Where did he do so, where did you say it, and from whom was he distancing?)dramonic wrote:Well, there was stuff to extract some info from in our game ToD, while this game has come to a standstill.Discretion is the better part of valor.

It's not just an "at the moment" kind of thing, though. It's been all game.Alduskkel wrote:I think the idea that dramonic is more "off-hands" in his playstyle than in another Town game is just a detail of the big picture: namely, that this game is going a bit slow at the moment.
Perhaps a basis of comparison will help:
In this game, dram's at ~40 posts out of ~320 in the game, so he's contributed about1 out of every 8posts this game.
In this game, town-dram replaced in at about post 270, and the game ended somewhere in the 1080s (= he was in for ~810 posts). dramonic had 210 posts during the game, which comprised aboutposts in the game while he was in it.1 out of every 4
1 in 8 as opposed to 1 in 4? I think that's a significant difference from what I've seen of him as town.
And if you can't find something to talk about, you're not looking hard enough. Either comment on something that's happened or post a theory you have about this game, preferably with evidence (something like "mal and DeathSauce are scum who are trying to lurk their way to victory. Here's why: (reasons) Discuss."), and we can talk about it - why it makes sense, why it doesn't, why you're scummy/obvtown for even suggesting such a thing, etc. This should not be terribly difficult.
DeathSauce, I wasn't claiming we're the best. I've read too many games to know that's not true. But with the amount hohum and I have been going at each other's throats...Discretion is the better part of valor.

Really? You think that two players who have been going after each other all day and are now deciding a third player is more worthy of their attentions is meaningless? Considering it's a convincing enough case that we both decided it needed action more than our cases against each other, I'd say it's pretty meaningful. Without reading the game DTMaster has on hohumScum, part of me wants to say, "screw hohum being scum, I'm gonna call dramonic+DeathSauce."DeathSauce wrote:

Re: Santos' joke claim: I'm pretty sure that I didn't actually comment on it (so what made you think I viewed it as WIFOM?), partly because I knew it wasn't the truth from the second I read it. I'm not sure exactly what he was getting at, but I can 100% guarantee it was not a serious claim of "Santos and ToD are scum."DTMaster wrote:ToD: 341 Page 12 is a bad post made by Santos. In all honstly you can try and interprete his joke as WIFOM, but that's extremely anti-town. Plus a deathsauce + drac attack isn't helping this case get any better since it looks like severe chain saw. Given the topic at hand is a ToD/Santos scum team I expect you to do more then raise concerns. Find me some links or evidence. Personally at this point I can only agree Drac is scummy. Death sauce is null but abet abrasive play.
Re: DeathScum: (a) How's it a chainsaw? Having just looked it up, for it to be an applicable tell, I would have to have been intending to defend Santos, who would have to be either dead scum or defending me by attacking my attackers. I wasn't trying to defend Santos, I was trying to make a point - see part b - and from what I can tell, Santos is neither dead scum nor defending my by attacking my attackers. If anything, DeathSauce is the one chainsawing by choosing to ignore the dramonic case based on the players who agree with it. Granted, it'd be nice to see dramonic lynched as scum first, since that'll strengthen my DeathSauce case, but whatever. (b) And you, too, seem to be missing the point I was trying to make. If players A and B each (claim to) think the other is scum that needs to be lynched ASAP, then both decide that player C should be lynched before either of them, what do you think that suggests about the relative strength of the case on C?
Here, I'll spell it out for you: Either hohum and I are scum together (which can't be right: Do pages 7-12 look staged to you?), or at least one of us is town (in which case the dramonic case has to have at leastsomemerit, or we wouldn't have both decided to wagon him. Even if one of us is scum, the town one would have to have seen at least enough in the case to assess it as more worthwhile than the scum case they'd been pushing before).
Re: "raising concerns": ...uh... what? Could you possibly have phrased that in a way that was less clear? Actually, don't answer that. Just please rephrase "Given the topic at hand is a ToD/Santos scum team I expect you to do more then raise concerns. Find me some links or evidence." into coherent sentences that make sense in context. Or better yet, put it in as simple terms as possible, because apparently my skill at reading between the lines has gone to hell.
@lurkers/ex-lurkers (dramonic, DeathSauce, DTMaster): Goddammit, guys. Can a maximum of two of you be scummy, please? dramonic's lurking too much for what I know of his town play, DeathSauce is being incredibly dense about the dramonic case (including ignoring it without addressing it), and DT has all those lovely contradictions that Santos pointed out.
Speaking of Santos:
*facepalm* Why would you claim VT before L-1, except during massclaim?Santos wrote:And I'm L-2, not L-1, so does everyone want me to claim anyways?
Your responses: Yes
My Response: Vanilla Townie with very cute flavor about how old I am and that I tire easily so I have no night actions.
One final thing, which is just an excuse to toot my own horn:
You mean this deduction? Yeah, that guy's really something, isn't he?DTMaster's wiki wrote:(talking about Mini 751: Suzumiya Haruhi, which is listed as one of his favorite threads) One of Tar's game and absolutely brilliant. The flavour and town play was amazing. I strive to play at that level. The deduction from the phase counters were brilliant.Discretion is the better part of valor.
If I helped lynch you, you deserved it.

I know, right? Who'da thunk it? (Sorry, once I realized that pun, it was funny to me for reasons most of you probably don't get, which have to do with stereotypes about trumpet players in general. I've got an audition tomorrow, too...)Alduskkel wrote:Trumpet of Doom is tooting his own horn?Alduskkel wrote:ToD: Bussing is way more common than you would have us think.

Well, what was I supposed to do? If I made a joke about "dude, why'd you have to go and out us?" people would have been all over both of us because sarcasm doesn't transmit well through text, and I'm not going to attack a player who's still one of my strongest townreads.DTMaster wrote:why didn't you do much when Santos said: Lol I'm scum with ToD. Sarcasm aside, I expected more attacks based on the anti-town nature of it. It's not something you would seriously joke about.
Wow. hohum swings solidly into the "confirmed town" category. I'm now almost certain that 2 of the following 3 players are scum:
dramonic
DeathSauce
DTMaster
I will support a lynch of any of those three players, to the point that I am willing to hammer any of them without a claim.Discretion is the better part of valor.

All right. Time for me to claim.
Claim: Cop
N1: Santos. Innocent.
N2: dramonic. Innocent.
Scum are Alduskkel and DTMaster. I don't really care what order they're lynched in, so I'll just sayVote: DTMasterand leave Alduskkel for D4.Discretion is the better part of valor.

We could, but there's no point in NLing when you actually know who the last scum is. With that in mind,Vote: Alduskkel.

Yeah, if I'm scum one of you would be dead by now. Alduskkel doesn't have quite as obvious reasoning for a kill.dramonic wrote:Interesting how no NK happened, considering there is no reason to not kill when you have 2 confirmed townies (me and Santos)

I claim, say I don't really care which order we lynch DT and Alduskkel, and vote DT.
DT counterclaims and votes Alduskkel.
I point out some obvious bullshit in DT's post.
That interaction? Beyond his counterclaim, I fail to understand why that would be a scum gambit. Please explain.

Note to self: Never play a semi-open like this with Santos again.
I actually figured Alduskkel would kill Santos (why leave the unknown? Leave the one who'll help you win), and I would have killed dramonic (kill the one who's on to me). Also, I hate hatehatethe current meta that NK motive speculation is scummy.
Alduskkel: Why kill hohum N2, and why no kill N3?
Agreed. Suave was just... ugh. If you're a doc driven to L-1, claim, because it's better if you die at night than if you die during theday and let scum kill someone else useful at night.Nikanor wrote:I hate to say it, but I think that mafia didn't deserve to win that so much as town deserved to lose.
Yeah, I might have been sending slightly mixed messages (Santos is town, Alduskkel is town ( ), hohum is scum ( )), but I can't believe as few people believed me as did.Nikanor wrote:I think that if the last day hadn't been so quick, town might have won. Trumpet breadcrumbed his n1 result pretty hard on d2. Too bad nobody noticed it.
I'd say night actions, but everyone should know those by this point.Nikanor wrote:Am I missing anything...?
Oh, yeah: May I post my investigation PMs? I had a bunch of fun writing them... it'd be a shame to let just the two of us see them.Discretion is the better part of valor.

Ah, that's right. Voice control."Trumpet of Doom."
"Voice print confirmed. Welcome, Trumpet. Whom do you wish to investigate?"
"Alduskkel."Since everyone else is either dead or has already been investigated.
((I'd also like to make some fearless guesses about who the scum kill will be and why.
I'm only investigating Alduskkel for the sake of thoroughness - I know he's scum, because nobody else can be.
Alduskkel's only chance of winning is if he can get me lynched: If he kills me, my flip will hard-confirm Santos and dramonic, but if he doesn't kill me, he can't lynch either of them because I won't vote for them.
So he has to kill either Santos or dramonic. He knows dramonic thinks I'm scum, and he doesn't know what Santos's opinion is, so he kinda has to kill Santos. If he's trying to frame me, this makes even more sense, because I've been saying Santos is town for longer than I've been saying dramonic is.))Discretion is the better part of valor.
