I should point out that my role PM doesn't say Bear Grylls is a survivor. I deduced that myself with my genius.
I'm not a Survivor. Part of the bastardmoddery, I suppose.

I am Bear "Grilles," according to my role PM though. So it seems to me that the only way you could possibly have come to think of that gambit is that you're a Lyncher and I'm the lynchee.

Boring.

EmpKing -- Yeah, you "caught" me. Good work. I'm claiming Bear "Grilles."

I honestly wouldn't have responded except for the misspelling in the name, which indicated to me that you have some special power. I don't know what you would be other than a lyncher. Maybe you only get a particular power after I'm dead? Is that true?

Your answer is pretty important. Alignment-determinative, I'd say.

Edit to add: If you're a Lyncher; fine, just claim it. I'll probably end up getting lynched at some point anyway since Bear Grylls makes sense as a Survivor role. If you're not I think we ought to know.

Nah, I'll stick with the dude who voted third and then hard defended a new player.

Kind of a weird post restriction, considering that Helen Keller was blind and deaf, not mute. But hey, whatever.

I would have continued to believe the PR, honestly; I get the feeling flavor inconsistencies may be a theme of this game.

@ TCS
Why did you out that you were grills immediately? You know you're playing in a possibly bastard game, one that has personal win conditions in addition to the standard win condition, and the first mention of your role name causes you to out that it's you?
Honestly, because the nature of my role makes me not really care TOO too much about my flavor being outed, and second, because I thought it was odd that EmpKing would misspell the name Bear Grylls just like my Role PM did. I gained at least some information by responding to this.
Also, were you seriously satisfied with empking's answer that he wasn't a lyncher? Do you typically just believe whatever you're told in mafia? No doubts whatsoever?
Well, no, obviously not.
In post 77, The Central Scrutinizer wrote: Nah, I'll stick with the dude who voted third and then hard defended a new player.
You're referring to four trouble right? He was actually the fourth vote on nacho, but whatever. How is voting for the first rvs wagon a scum tell? Also, is this really what you're calling "hard defending"? Because this is the only instance of four trouble talking about arc:
In post 65, FourTrouble wrote:Arc obviously has different way of playing but he's trying to figure things out, seems like town.
He also called empking definitely town, who incidentally was the third vote on nacho, is he hard defending him too?
Well, calling lots of players "definitely town" is often a red flag, so it does reinforce my argument that FourTrouble is scum.

I think early mid-wagon votes are often good places for scum; and I think scum buddying new players is a good thing for scum to do.

Are these new concepts?

In post 205, Arc wrote:@TCS, what Avering just said is true, neither of you have the support needed to build a wagon against today. My post was just stating that I find you very nearly equally scummy, but if one of you is scum, the likelyhood that the other is scum goes down greatly in my eyes. In this situation, I'm likely to support either lynching.

Though, the post I'm responding to just makes you look more scummy to me. Instead of asking why you appeared more like scum, which I assumed nacho would anyway, and defending yourself, or trying to defend yourself with an attack of some sort, you try to warp what I said in response to nacho.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: THE CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER


Thanks for convincing me.
Oh, my post was definitely an attack of some sort.

What information did you gain? The nature of my role would make me not care about my flavor being outed either in the strictest sense. My issue with it is that you know that there are personal win conditions in addition to the primary ones, that there's a very strong likelihood of there being multiple threats to town, and someone misspells your role name just like its misspelled in your role pm and without hesitation you play along. Doesn't make sense to me, not if you're town. It does make sense to me if your scum though, as you can plant that lyncher seed and make people wary of lynching you.
The information I gain pertains to my role... so I'm not really interested in discussing the subject further.

So you think scum wants to put themselves out there like that on day 1, page 1? And you call my reasoning shallow.

Okay, we need to change your name to The Central Hyperbole. He called one player "definitely town" not lots. I also hardly call saying that someone is playing differently but seems like town "buddying". Your mid-wagon wiki tell is lame. It's a crap shoot that hits town as often as scum.
Welcome to day 1 mafia.

There's probably a reason it's on the wiki? Works better than 50% in my experience.

What scum tells do you want me to use this early? Feh.
Your reasoning is shallow.

Why were you afraid of putting nacho at l-2 on page one? Because i find that more suspect than someone putting fourth vote on an rvs wagon. It reads self conscious, coupled as it was with an over justification. And your first post is more what I read as buddying than four trouble saying a new player seems like town.
You caught me. Take me away. I'm a bulletproof miller vig, and Nacho is my mason partner.

...you do realize that he was already voting empking at the time, right?
Have been all game, almost got lynched because I backed off a bit because my read wasn't as much scum at that point as it was just suspicious. That has slipped back closer to scum, but after TCS's post earlier, I feel he is more likely at the moment.

Also, @TCS, my problem isn't with the attack, its the method of the attack. Instead of bringing up evidence that I'm either full of shit or scum, you poorly paraphrased me to try to make me look as such. I find that tactic is usually used by scum, as it doesn't really give any information but still can get the job done if people take it as fact.
I pointed out what I perceived to be your actual motivations for making the post. I find that is a valid town way to play the game. I suppose I could do that in the form of a question, and then you people would think I was Thor or something.

And yeah, sure. You think that it would be impossible for scum to put themselves out there...?
No, I guess not; in this game who knows what anyone's motivations could be. So fine. What does it tell you then?

I have this crazy theory that mafia is basically just a bunch of people playing pin the tail on the donkey, and that "scumhunting" per se doesn't really matter. The trick is just to find out who's full of shit, and I feel like your scumhunting is full of shit right now.

Maybe that will change later, but I can't really promise what you will do will make me do.

So, you responded to this post right after I posted this and responded to something else later. Did it really take you nearly 24 hours to come up with this lame ass response? Because if you truly thought I was full of shit, this should have been your response yesterday.

And here's what you get to do now. Why am I full of shit? I've told you why you're full of shit, so now you get to say something that has meaning because mudslinging without anything behind it is shallower than your wiki tell.

My scumhunting isn't even close to being full of shit. It probably matters more to me than anyone else that my scum reads are right this game, and I'm using what little there is here to try to figure you people out. Maybe it's true as nacho said that everyone is being passive until they figure out what's going on with the alignment changes, but I think that's lame and it's lame to let people get away with that.

So, show me your suspicions are genuine and not just made up of you being pouty because I think you're scum.
Do you use that whole timing argument often, or is it just a scum tactic? Cause I'm not going to convince you to unvote me in any game ever if you actually think that's a scumtell.

Back early. Thankfully problem was not as severe as I feared at first. Pretty awesome cause now I can mafia and watch TI3 west qualifier.

I think Fuduzn is probably town.

I remain suspicious of Tammy, but I don't think she's worth a D1 lynch.

UNVOTE: Tammy

I was torn between going back to FourTrouble, whose general approach to the game appears scummy, and Whiskers, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Whiskers is a Jester... I don't see any other motivation behind faking a post restriction, admitting it, and then claiming survivor day one.

VOTE: FourTrouble

Why are you suspicious of Tammy?
Gut; I think she's trying to hard to look town.

I don't understand any of this. You can't find Whiskers's motivation for the way that he's been playing so far so you attribute it to Jestering? Could be that Whiskers wanted to do a post restriction gambit, didn't like it mid day, and went with a survivor claim because he would get away with it. It could be that he was trying a post restriction so he would not really have to do anything all game, then took it back because he was getting too much heat and real-claimed.
Gambiting and then claiming a role that most people want to lynch day 1 in a Jebus game and you
don't
see a strong possibility that being lynched first or lynched at all is her primary or secondary win con?

...Erm, anyway.

After one read-through, I just have general thoughts, and they're basically agreements and echoing to be honest. Better reads tomorrow.

For some reason Tammy makes me suspicious. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm far from wanting to lynch her so far.

Fuduzn is definitely a sarcastic town bro who gives no bothers. Giving off a town vibe, but could be a mask.

Whiskers makes me want to bang my head against a wall in play style and in just general presence. (Not because you're a Brony. Let's clarify that now.)

ForT's play style is screaming "say as little as possible or necessary." It just seems like that's his style in general, though, a really overcautious way to save face no matter what role is taken. (Or you just play on your phone.) So you're under watch.

Skimming through Arc's ISO, he seems... well, I guess the most suspicious.

EmpKing is just rubbing me the wrong way...

Everyone else is not notable, but not unimportant. Just giving some general reads. (And TCS is
not
off the hook for following the most clearly superior MOBA out there.)
Yeah, they fixed DTV. Though I really enjoy just watching the GD stream, they've done a solid job putting it all together.

And I should definitely be off the hook because dota.

If we don't lynch Tammy, we should really leash her. The chances of her being SK are way too significant to ignore.

I am willing to accept Fuduzn's meta-defense of her and not lynch her today. In that circumstance, I'm happy with my FourT vote, but I would compromise on an Arc lynch and I'm not particularly keen on an Emp lynch because I basically agree with everything he's said so far.

Leash as in, we should vote on who she nightkills and lynch her if she doesn't nightkill them.

And sorry for the triple, but I would
second the request for an extension
since we now (in my opinion) have to establish a lynch and a night kill.

Tammy -- explain
how
that's a "scum claim."

Explain where I used hyperbole.

I don't understand where you're coming from.

No need to write a novella. Explain to me like I'm 5.

Well, calling lots of players "definitely town" is often a red flag, so it does reinforce my argument that FourTrouble is scum.

I think early mid-wagon votes are often good places for scum; and I think scum buddying new players is a good thing for scum to do.

Are these new concepts?
TCS here. I pointed this out before. Ft had only called empking definitely town, and here you say he's calling lots definitely town. Then you claim he's buddying arc when all he did was say he seems town.

That's exaggeration of the stances to make him look bad.

Empking is scum claiming by using "barrage of untruths" in an attempt to use empty rhetoric to make me look bad. I haven't told any untruths at all. That is not trying to assess my motivations which means he's not actually scumhunting but is pretending to. He's not actually trying to figure this game out because he's not town.
This is going to be an unfulfilling answer, but this is semantics. If a player strongly and for no reason determines that
a single
other player is town, then I treat that as a mild-to-medium scumtell. I said "lots" but my logic is the same whether that player is clearing "lots" of players or a single one. I might cop to thinking that clearing lots is a stronger scumtell.

Entirely this. My personal feelings about Tammy being town aside, her use of the "misaligned" part of this game to justify why she is Vig rather SK leaves enough doubt for me to prefer her leashed.

Lynching Rining and seeing FourT (or Emp, I guess) vigged would be optimal. Whiskers would be a compromise, but I disagree with Tammy that it'd be optimal for town. I do believe that Whiskers has some survivoresque wincon, and I don't have a problem keeping him alive to fulfill it. I definitely see FourT and Rining as more likely to flip scum than Whiskers. Not sure about Emp or Nacho. The former worries me with regards to the TCS business, and the latter hasn't really done enough for me to justify a good read either way

Any chance you could reconsider, Tammy?
I am misaligned though. Have you ever seen American psycho? Patrick Bateman is a serial killer. It's totally what I thought my role was until I got to the vigilante part then had to read it like three times to make sure I read that right. There is no way I'd claim VIG as serial killer day one or probably not at all. That's handing you an early ticket to the grave. I emphasized me being misaligned because I am and it's part of why I don't think my alignment will change.

I'll take input from the town, but I'm not going to be leashed. I'm fine with discussing it, but it's still my role and I'm taking the responsibility for what I do. I'll take far more into consideration those I have pretty decent town reads on though, and won't kill people I have town reads on.

I thought whiskers would be best because he's confirmed not town aligned or to have a non town win condition and could be dangerous for the town. I thought that better than one of the people I have leaning scum reads on but am not sure about. I'm worried about what nacho said about that one game where everyone thought they were town until day three. If that's the case here, I could really hurt town, so thought the confirmed unaligned would be better.
Honestly, as a day 1 vig claim, I think the only proper thing for town to do is get a double-dip out of your kills. We determine who we think are likely, potentially mutually exclusive scum, and lynch/vig them. If that's me and Emp, so be it (but I think that's a wrong choice, as I think Emp is probably town and so am I). Scum will be forced to kill you or we will be forced to lynch you. The doctor (assuming there is one), roleblocker, jailkeeper, etc. can more properly target their kills. Leashing a claimed vig/sk on day 1 is, in my opinion, proper town play, and if you refuse or balk I would lynch you regardless of your alignment because you are playing in an anti-town manner.

I'm going to have to bookmark this game so that I can mimic it when I (finally) get a Jester role. Grumble grumble.

Tammy: I'm sorry if my playstyle has become more "pithy" over time, but it is what it is. I am generally a terrible scumhunter if I over-analyze, and have come to detest walls of text, so I have been trying to simplify my style.

FourT still looks like scum... I am also finding a rini lynch acceptable at this point. He sayeth nothing.

So Rin is at -2.

I'd vote to lynch at deadline, probably.

My money is that at least one of these claims is completely bogus.

Not really an excuse.

Shooting me would be worse than pointless.

Resetting the vote count does not sound like a town-positive power.
