BS, I've seen lots of town accuse with certainty (and are wrong as often as not).

You do realize MrBartlet has flipped town. Why did you think Derivan and Bartlet scum?
Good point: Likeabauss, in trying to paint mutley scummy, completely ignores any and all alternativesIn post 113, Sakura Hana wrote:@Likeabauss: it also gives us an idea of what roles could scum possibly have, however I still think it's too early for any massclaims or anything.
Likea seems to show an implied knowledge of saki being town. This is apparent in his semi-defense of saki here and during D1.In post 120, likeabauss wrote:Saki can be temperamental and I'm not sure if he's being serious or facetious because he's frustrated. Do you believe everything a person says in mafia?
At this point, I'm not prepared to lynch anybody just yet because there is plenty to discuss and explore.
How?
Fine with being default lynch? Unless you're fool or something you should be interested in not being lynched: if you KNOW that you are town.. then you should KNOW your lynch is a mislynch, then you should ABSOLUTELY be against your lynch. How the hell can you be fine with being lynched? I suspect the statement to be WIFOM.In post 157, likeabauss wrote: I'm fine with being the default lynch for today, as my role is useless now and I screwed up pretty good offing Sakura... but not before a good solid debate and contributions from all the players.

Bert town? If Bauss flips scum, I'm thinking mitillos is also scum.In post 168, Bert wrote:Heck, I owe an explanation to all of you.In post 157, likeabauss wrote:I'm VLA until the 26th, but am reading. Posting will be spotty, my apologies in advance. Regardless of who you think/decide we should hang today, don't rush the friggin day phase like Mutters did yesterday. It just handicaps town, dramatically.
If anybody had given me a chance to post some thoughts/reads yesterday, you would've heard my opinion on Saki more thoroughly. I just finished a game with him (and Sakura) where my reads on him (and her) were dead nuts on and it was almost a flawless town win. Saki has good gut instincts but is still noobish and can be temperamental. The logic doesn't always compute but meh. Sakura, I pegged wrong this game.
I thought since she piled on the Saki vote, right in the butterzone, plus some numbers lottery theory, that she was pretty solid scum. Last game I hazed Saki and Sakura, got great profiles and reads on them both. I expected town Sakura would've shown some prudence in the vote, especially on D1 dominated by a single WIFOM voice (Mutley) and leveraged off my read on Saki(Town Bauss or Scum Bauss, alignment regardless, I didn't want to hang Saki because he was town. Scum knows he's town, town Bauss has good reads on Saki.)I was feeling confident after reading her last game and seeing a departure from what I knew/expected from Sakura as town play.
TLDR, I'm the one shot town vig. I popped Sakura last night. I was wrong. My bad. Even the Bauss makes mistakes sometimes.

1) I hate how he keeps alluding to himself and self-metaing with the terms "Scum Bauss" and "Town Bauss." That rubs me the wrong way in his explanation of his vig choice.
2) "YA KNOW I'm fine being default lynched today" (What kind of attitude is that if you just said YOU THINK MUTTERS'S WORDS HAVE BEEN WIFOM. How the heck can you be okay with that???? For a player like you, to appeal to us with that self-defeatist attitude just irks me. Majorly.
Darger leans town.In post 182, Darger wrote:I agree that WIFOM is not helping town. If it is true that it contributed to Saki claiming scum, then it seems to suggest that it will only hurt town even more if it continues. However, the fact that Saki didn't honour his win condition is annoying.
This isn't cute. What were you expecting? A medal?In post 166, NoctanNights wrote:CHEESE.
Bert, gut instincts aren't all that helpful. You say that you don't like Bauss referring to himself as town/scum Bauss. Why is that? What correlation is there between referring to yourself and your alignment? Also, how do you reconcile post 143 and post 172? Also, your post 177 seems too friendly to me, and what is stopping you from doing something while you wait?
I'm not sure about this. Saki claimed scum after a mistake that would have been noticed had Mutley not mentioned it (Sakura pointed it out too). The bandwagon occurred after Saki said he was scum. It was seems like frustration (and petulance) on the part of Saki, rather than an aptitude for scumhunting on the part of Mutley. However I agree with you that there needs to be more conversation.In post 174, likeabauss wrote:Mutters is WIFOM to the max, plus role fishing on D1, plus dominating the conversation. So yeah, its a bunch of anti-town behavior. BUT, despite all that, and my assertion of all those things yesterday... he still rallied enough voters to back him and lynch up Saki. (Scary) That means we need to get a conversation going that will get some people into the game instead of just following the guy that screams the loudest.
Your response to this argument somehow doesn't sit well with me. I haven't played mafia for a while, but isn't it still the case that an argument based upon a player's metagame is a weak argument? You seem to suggest that he was temperamental in the last game you played with him, so why play again?
As Bert said, your overreaction isn't all that helpful either. Why don't you agree? How is it a serious vote and also an overreaction? Is this how you usually play on day two? How do you explain your vote on bert in the light of your recent vote on mutley?In post 173, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Eh, you're going off gut so mine's just a massive overreaction, but whatever.
I just really don't agree with your reasons for voting bauss.
Mutley, there is something strange about post 160 and post 175. You say you can understand why bauss would act the way he did if he were town, and then say that you don't need much confirming that he is scum?
I feel like I'm misunderstanding something.
This post was the post that made me think likea is scum.In post 205, likeabauss wrote:What are you talking about? You're foaming at the mouth. I explained quite clearly and logically why I chose the role I did and how I chose my target for last night. You are SPECULATING on what other people would do if they were town or scum. Its exactly WIFOM. To top it off, you've been wrong about almost everything this entire game. You're borderline useless, and you're incomprehensible arguments are based entirely on speculation.In post 203, Mutleyddmc wrote:also like I say your only defence on why you took those roles is oh yo uare using too much WIFOM. It's not WIFOM cos its set up logic.
Your thoughts on Saki... why would scum claim scum when he did? He barely had any case against him. Not to mention it would be against his win condition (if he were scum.) He said "Yeah, I claim scum" sarcastically and that was just an easy excuse for you to continue spewing bs and defend your shat case. You didn't take time to be careful, and choose wisely... you rammed a lynch as fast as you could. If you're town, that's terrible play. Are you happy with what you did D1? Are you proud of it? Because you're following in your own footsteps again for D2. A path to failtown.
If you are town, and you're clearly camping the thread, why aren't you trying to get a conversation going? If I had more time, I'd be trying to draw people in, pressure the lurkers, etc. You've got all the time in the world and you aren't doing shit. Even if you really believe youre right about me, you've still got other scum to find. Are you lazy? Do you not care? We're down 3 townies and you're content with sitting tight? Get to work, or gtfo.

What about him knowing saki was going to flip town.
What about the fact he killed Sakura for being scum Sakura even though she was bleeding her town meta
I was told Mutley's behavior is his meta.In post 309, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Beginner, why address noctan and sakura?
The whole one or the other is lovely for scum, we lynch one and oopsie, well, it must be the other!
About this, mutley has way more posts and time than bauss. There aren't 7 pages of him not doing this, because he wasn't there for the first 4.Beginner wrote:In post 205, likeabauss wrote: This post was the post that made me think likea is scum.
Note the following: likea has been trying to push mutley (easy lynch?) to death. Likea tells mutley what heshouldbe doing as town. Funny thing is, Likea fails to do the very same prior to this post. Hypocritical much? Several pages later (maybe to not look like a hypocrite.. too late lol) likea does exactly what he says mut should be doing. If likea truly believed what he was saying here, he would have been implementing it already prior to stating it. As it stands, there are 7 entire pages of his not doing what he is telling mut to do.
Beginner seems to accept mutley-town way too easily and is still questioning people who also go for it.
VOTE: beginner
Alright I messed up.. I wasn't paying attention to the living players list as much as I was to scummy/towniness in post behavior/content. Disregard the mention to dead players.In post 310, frog wrote:Beginner, some of the people you've addressed are no longer in the game, and quoting posts and following it up with 'is likely town' doesn't generate any content but just clutters the thread. I'm hesitant to vote you because I liked how Noctans was playing and you've already claimed fruit vendor. Siveure, what bearings does Noctans' claim have on your read of Beginner?
Make it again because I've went over the day and have examined the conversation between you and Mutley. Isn't Mutley's behavior supposedly his town meta (multiple sources say so)?In post 317, likeabauss wrote:I made my case for mutley.

@Frog:In post 331, frog wrote:You could link the post and comment briefly on each one. As for ignoring your points, there's not really much for me to comment on in 300 since it is just you stating unsubstantiated opinions, nor in 301, where you quote a large passage but only write three words, nor in 303, which is much the same as 300, or 305, which is the same as 301, etc. In 302 you talk about hypocrisy but that is not equal to scum, and in 306, where you think him saying Saki was town was scummy as only scum can know alignments. I have seen town say that they know someone else is town countless times before, so I view that point as null. You say in 307 that mitillos or siv could be scum if bauss flips scum, but you don't say why. I've ignored you because I can't reply to poorly reasoned opinions.In post 326, Beginner wrote: @Frog: would you rather I had slowly copied and pasted each and every quote and response I felt like making and put it together in one gigantic post? How is the quantity of posts even relevant in light of said posts' contents? Frog, why are you ignoring my points?
@mitillos: I was sort of talking to siv as he is voting for beginner, but as a matter of fact his posting habits do annoy me.
Highlight 1: True, it may/may not be difficult to stop Saki's lynch due to his attitude, but that is completely irrelevant. Bauss's effort? Minimal at best, insincere at worst.In post 327, Mitillos wrote:@Beginner: Fair enough, perhaps bauss could have acted more pro-town, by championing Saki. I can accept that. On the other hand,Highlight 1: Saki himself kind of gave up on this game, by lying about both his role and alignment and then self-hammering. Hard to stop the lynch of someone who gets to that point. But I'm not sure there really is anything else in his behaviour that points to him being scum. He attacked mutley for giving more information to scum.Highlight 2: This was not actually mutley's fault, but it does show a pro-town viewpoint on the part of bauss. The only other thing you seem to be saying against bauss is how being OK with his own lynch isn't pro-town. I agree that, if he is town, he should fight tooth and nail to convince people of this. But he did make the addendum that this was only in case there were no other alternatives (no-lynch is bad). And don't forget that he messed up and took out a PR overnight.Highlight 3: If he is town, being suddenly resigned after this makes sense. So, I consider this a null-tell.
Regarding the argument: Again, I am not simply going by post counts. It's also about the amount of content contained there. And yes, scum will sometimes argue for pages and pages. I've seen it too. You can even find examples of scum-mates doing it, hard-bussing each other for the entire game, hardly ever voting anyone else. But 1) it's *usually* town that does this and 2) (and this is far more important) I have town reads on both bauss and mutley, anterior to the argument. They are both operating from what appears to me to be a town mindset.
Or is he just scum trying to place another player in a negative light (leads to making them look scummy)?In post 324, Mitillos wrote:@frog: Why exactly would you be going after beginner? Cluttering the thread isn't alignment indicative and he is generating content, by going through the thread and making reads, i.e. scumhunting. My read on him is town, so am I missing something, or are you just too annoyed by the large number of consecutive posts?
Let me get back to that.. there were some posts and general behavioral tells that gave me this impression.In post 342, Siveure DtTrikyp wrote:Beginner complaining about discrediting and trying to make someone look scummy and doing it himself lol. VERY negative wording, so yeah...
About me/mit being scum if bauss is, say it now. If it's good, it'll strengthen your case. If it's bad, you've at least said what you think. You also seem to consider frog as scum, so who is your main scumspects?
Reread: I didn't register the sentence after the post I was quoting. Fair enough. Why are you working so hard to impair my credibility?Also LOL at "hey you said it's null because it makes sense as town well i'm gonna say it makes sense as mafia so it's null." Reduce redundancy!
I'm not liking that you and Bauss are pushing so much for the mass claim together.. as if you're working together toward a scumteam objective. Much of what you've been doing has been in line with what Bauss has been doing.Anyway, do we have a n3 vig? I say we just no-lynch now. Or, maybe scum have it. Ew. If they do we need to lynch scum now. If they don't then lynching town loses... Ummm, finish the massclaim. We're in MyLo, so we just finish it.
To be honest siv, you are one of my main scumspect. I've gotten nothing substantive from you this entire game. You ask questions, but with no apparent purpose or objective.. Are you just going to poke at people's posts the entire game?N3 vig needs to claim, because knowing we have it on a town person allows us to no-lynch.
^Siv ignores this, but addresses the lesser relevant content above, prioritizing credibility impairment over a scumhunting discussion.. pretty damning imoIn post 338, Beginner wrote: First, Frog, I've also seen town declare knowledge of alignment. You're ignoring the entire context in which Bauss touts his town-read on Saki. It is entirely weak and barely, if at all, justifiable. If anything, Mutley's HoS on Saki was actually much more likely, believable and presentable than Bauss's town-read. Again, Bauss's behavior does not compute unless he were mafia. It explains his behavior perfectly. You're suffering a case of refutation-bias.
Second, true, hypocrisy is not equivalent to scum. Again, you're taking individual points out of context. You're failing to ask the following questions:
What does it mean that Bauss was being a hypocrite in his reprimanding Mutley?
Frog, Bauss's being hypocritical means he didn't truly believe what he was saying.
What was his motive then?
Let us reexamine the post:
P1:The motive that is immediately apparent in that post against Mut is to portray Mut in a scummy light.
P2: The content by which Bauss was illustrating his intent, in light of his hypocrisy, is most likely contrived/fake.
P3: Bauss was using contrived/fake content to paint Mut in scumminess.
P4: Only scum use fake/contrived reasoning to make other people look scummy
C: Bauss is scum.
Suggesting frog may be scum is not synonymous to calling frog scum.. it's more a case of semantics, but my read on frog is volatile. Going on me for a subjectively perceived disorganization is so blatantly bad that I can't help but see it coming more from agitated town than scum. That post was more a jab at frog than an actual scum-declaration.In post 357, Mitillos wrote:@Beginner: Small point, but didn't you suggest that frog was scum, a couple of pages ago?

However, this was posted after our little tiff in this thread, so it may be wifom cross-thread wifom to make bauss look scummy (maybe bauss is town) to whoever happens upon this post (which actually isn't very likely but confirms siv's alignment as scum).
