Mala's tone is so damn weird, she feels so posturey this game.
She's probably town, though I have reservations, but I wish she'd stop with her act.
Her other head either needs to out who she is, I have a guess it's one out of two, or stop bread dumbing her identity/taunting ika for not figuring it out. I don't get the purpose of wanting a secret hydra and then trying to leak it to one of a couple of people.
Just stop.
Also, if you're really reading me as town because I got mad, that is a shit way to read me and not a town tell. I was town from the start.-

So they can say "don't you wish you knew?"
If they were actually interested in keeping it secret they wouldn't hint at their identities or sign posts.
One did out it and the other is still crumbing to one person. Either she needs to out it or stop it.-

I am somewhat inclined to give Anatole a night though.
I would not be averse to lynching csareo though that's almost a shot in the dark. I need to nail down just what it is I don't like about honeybee but it started from me just not liking the interaction with fonz at a gut level but not really knowing which end was really pinging me. I'm still not sure.-

I've just lifted weights for an hour, so this post is going to be a hell of a lot nicer than it would have been. You're welcome.
Mala your tone is weird. I've gone back and read games and you still feel weird. I've contemplated that it's an aspect of the hydra as I think that can influence people at times. For instance in board games I had a hard time reading ffery because she sounded more arrogant at times than I associate with her. I kinda decided it wAs the product of hydraing with cabd and cabd said maras more arrogant when she hydras with him and that he just has that effect on people. >_>
Idk what you're referring to with song lyrics. I dont care if you post lyrics. I was also not on your back. I was perfectly fine calling you town and being amused that you were claiming to be so good at reading my tone while calling me not town. I didn't know who you were at that point and I didn't care to know. I would have found it odd if you are sorting me that way as mala I guess I don't know. I don't know what to tell you if you didn't catch that I was amused and not taking it too seriously. The focusing on just me was starting to feel weird though.
What became problematic was other head misrepping my frustration to four trouble and how I felt he was talking to me. I mean at first I even thought that was funny because it was so ludicrous to think I was buddying four trouble, but it turns out the accusation was even more insane. And then that whole heads string of posts and accusations get worse. I never claimed it was a tvt or svt fight and if you actually read my posts, I was calling baboon town with not that strong a case but falcon and I were trying to figure out four troubles alignment. How your other head came to the conclusions she did is baffling and just demonstrates that she is not reading my posts.
Hounding me to name a suspect between them when I'd been upfront with my thoughts was ridiculous. I still don't know what she hoped to achieve and she refuses to answer what the purpose wAs. I don't so much need an answr but I was interested in the response. And then when people not me challenge her buddying accusation, she goes into hiding and refuses to address it. I e asked more than once why she ignored people challenging that accusation and she refuses to answer. (What I find adorable is that after pulling this attitude with me she has the gall to address me as she has today.)
I only started having a problem with your head when you talked about that conversation I had with you about nacho but left it so vague because I know I hadn't scum slipped or did anything remotely how I've caught nacho. It felt like using partial information to validate a scum read on me when I couldn't address it or defend against it. As I ran through who I'd had conversations with about that none of them made sense to come from town and to be sorting me and interacting with me the way that other head had. And no I'm not good at telling heads apart in hydras.
I do think if you're going to be a secret hydra you be a secret hydra. If people figure it out fine, but crumbing it to certain people and then basically taunting someone for not getting it. Trolling is one thing but enough is enough, it's a distraction and is pretty much becoming a distraction. If you can't see that if you want to be a secret hydra you should stay a secret hydra then I do t know what to say. I mean I have secret alts that some people know because they e figured it out.
But if you're town you're other head should back off or not actually I don't have any intention of interacting there again. I'm not scum, I'd love for her to try to explain why I'm scum though because at the very least I'm trying to read you guys. Also if I weren't such a fucking sweetheart I'd respond to the threat of being impolite with bring it but don't be surprised when I can out bitch the best of them. But as I actually care about this game not turning into a shitfest I won't respond so if she wants to continue trying to bait me go ahead babycakes. Have fun! (That was probably passive aggressive)
My earlier point still stands, and I note that once again after being challenged by an accusation she goes into hiding.
And I will say to other head that you can't really bitch about someone's interaction with you when you start things off on the wrong foot. I've learned that lesson in recent games and it's why I've been trying to be less abrasive/condescending in my sorting.
Anyway I feel like I just repeated some of what I've already said but that's where I'm coming from.-

Let me clear something up about this info:
5-Off said it was labelled as "rumors" that there was a "double agent." It wasn't a flat-out "there is definitely a scum intern."
And there is certainly still the possibility that he was gambiting.
Rereading to try and get better reads and see what else I need to respond to.
This is the post that gave me a scum vibe originally - I saw that and said "wow, if there's a scum intern this is probably her." Then I read Baboon, thought Baboon looked scummy too, then Lissa inexplicably has a townread on Baboon (though several people seem to now, so that doesn't mean a whole lot) and makes some really weak points to justify her RVS vote on 4t (basically just summarizing his posts - for example, her analysis for one of his posts saying Baboon doesn't seem town motivated is "scumreads baboon" as if that alone means anything to his alignment). She feels like she's going through the motions - townreading vocal players, scumreading easy targets, and just posting in a way that comes across as artificial and careful to me.
Some of that can be explained by her being rather new as well though.-

I will say that I can tell when tammy is legitimately annoyed and what her town game looks like. In timeshift I read some of her meta to see if I could find anything to implicate her as scum, on top of obviously playing in that game.
F-16 seems pretty reasonable too.
You read my meta to see if you could implicate me as the serial killer or mafia?-

Anatole's end of the conversation with Bork starting about 944 is somewhat concerning. It's reminiscent of the way he responded to bulbazack when he scum read him correctly. I thought he looked townish when he did it then. I'll need to see if I can find a town game where he treats people similarly under suspicion.-

I do. It was a strong town read given rather easily. I realize that this will sound like I'm never satisfied and maybe I'm not, but town reads given too easily freak me out just as much as scum reads over stupid things. Because scum do both. I'm an easy town read to give. I tend to get read town pretty early and I'm a bitch and half to lynch. In many instances, scum just call me town and night kill me after the more immediate threats or before. Scum sometimes pick at me or bait me for really stupid reasons mostly in order to cause a distraction because I scumhuntomgusscumreads on me. I also scumhunt town reads on me.
So yeah, figuring out whether or not he actually read me as town genuinely can tell us something about his alignment.-

The problem with this is that scum already know who the town are, so they're gonna spot town-tells much more easily than the town will. So scum don't have to fake reasoning for their town-reads, and town obviously don't fake town-reads, so I'm not sure how you tell the difference between a scum town-read and a town town-read. I can understand your question but I don't see it doing much, and it strikes me as a minor scum-tell (more likely that scum would wonder why someone town-reads them than town).
That's okay! You scumhunt your way and I'll scum hunt mine.-

It's a general-tell based on the logic of who would ask the question. Town know they're town, so they wouldn't question why someone town-reads them, they would know it's because they are town and the person town-reading them either "knows" that or has figured it out. Either way, the reasoning is genuine/correct.
I haven't looked into their meta to see if they do this as town but I've seen F-16 do it as scum before during a "quickfire" game on a different site. Though I might check their meta on this cause it has definitely made me reconsider their alignment here.
LOL.
That's okay. Just ignore my answer to this question because one thing I LOVE is someone ignoring my answer and then telling me how to scumhunt!-

I did not ignore your answer. I responded directly to it. Which you then replied to with your typical "don't tell me how to scumhunt" bullshit.
Your "I have nothing to learn, I'm already a perfect scumhunter" attitude is toxic. You can keep responding to all my posts that way but that won't get us anywhere. Engaging my argument, explaining why you disagree, pointing out why/how what you're doing is better, that would be more productive and would help us reach some common ground. I admit I still have a lot to learn but just dismissing everything I say instead of addressing its substance really isn't pro-town or helpful at all.
I never said I'm perfect, I think I'm far from perfect and far from a perfect scumhunter, but every time you've asked me a question and I've given you an answer, your response has been essentially "you're not doing it right". That isn't trying to figure out what I'm thinking or why or engaging with me or why. That's you AGAIN telling me what I'm supposed to believe according to your concepts.
I consider your end of the interaction toxic.
You could have very easily asked me what I learned or thought I learned from my questions to Anatole, but you didn't. You decided to tell me what I should or shouldn't be doing.-

I asked you what you thought you could learn from the question to Anatole, you said you believed it could tell you something about his alignment because his read was strong, I then explained why I believed you wouldn't learn anything, and you then dismissed what I said with your typical "don't tell me how to scumhunt" argument. I'm not just saying you're wrong. I'm explaining why I think the way I do, and I invite you to explain why I'm wrong. What's the problem here? I've tried engaging you multiple times this game to build some common understanding. How is any of that toxic?
Did your questions to Anatole tell you anything about his alignment?
FTFY
I'm so glad you asked. His answer for why he's so strongly town reading me doesn't make sense. He did try to implicate me as the serial killer in that game, but I'm not sure why he would have meta'd me to see how much he could implicate me as mafia in that game. Because of the way the night kills worked out. (I was shot by mafia night one and protected while the serial killer shot mafia night one leaving me all but confirmed town once the serial killer claimed vig.) I'm not sure where he thought he was going to implicate me as scum or why he would meta me to see if he could implicate me as scum.
Now if he means he was metaing me to see if I could be the serial killer in that game, then that would have probably made more sense since he did go along with Bert and try to push me as the serial killer on day four.
So, I don't really like his reasoning for town reading me because it feels too convenient.-

You're not gonna stop reading their post 2 sentences in, just because that person is disagreeing with you. You're gonna consider their position, and if you disagree, explain why you disagree. There is a big difference between dismissing someone's position without consideration -- which is what you've been doing all game when I explain my positions to you -- and disagreeing with someone while providing an explanation for that disagreement -- which is what I've been doing all game.
No you haven't. Reread your posts. You tell me why I'm doing it wrong and then tell me that it's better to do it your way.-

You probably talk to falcon differently than you've been talking to me. And I realize I can be easily annoyed and sensitive at times, but I don't feel that I am here. I know that Falcon respects you and you guys hydra together, so I've been trying to make sure to explain my thoughts to you so that we could work together. I'm an easy person to talk to and work with; I don't mind people disagreeing with me. But that hasn't been what you've been doing. Maybe it's unintentional, i don't know, but you haven't actually listened to what I said instead you've essentially gone you're wrong and doing it wrong, here let me tell you how to do it right. You even did it in 1226; you're telling me what to do; what I should be doing, because you are not listening to me.-

I didn't like 5-Off's vote on you either but I'm waiting to see how it develops. I hope I can get reads on most people. I play with FT and 5-Off offsite. FT and I tend to read each other pretty well. 5-Off and I, not to the same extent, but I think I have a general idea on how he plays.

I distinctly remember you townreading me in a game because I questioned townreads on me. It is only after that that I started to do it as scum because I knew it would fit my town meta. I'd understand if you accused me of trying to emulate my town meta but I have a hard time following this logic.

Agree on CS townread. I'm townreading Mara as well. One post from Ceph pinged but it is a minor thing and I'm waiting to see how it plays out. I'm not sure on AK. I liked his entrance with the way he came in arguing that the cases against FT are bad. I don't know what to make of his early townread on us based on Tammy's posts. I find Tammy rather difficult to meta cold but it is possible he picked up something from that game they played together.
I strongly disagree with his push on Mara. Bork pretty much said everything I was thinking here. I'm not sure what it says about his alignment though. I'd say that town would be more likely to admit they are wrong but something felt off about the way he backed off once Bork and Sleepy cut through his arguments.

Just tell me that you think I'm wrong and how you're reading them and why. I mean I love being right and all, but I don't mind being wrong and I don't care if people disagree with me. As difficult of a person as I can be I actually like discussing reads, disagreements and all in mafia, I like finding people I can work with. I don't like feeling talked down to though. Maybe you didn't mean for the "advice" to feel that way, but it did. You can leave that part out, just tell me how you look at it. I told you my thought process and how I came to my conclusions and you can tell me yours. When I say things like scum intent, there's a lot of things wrapped up there. It encompasses the types of things I'd look for and expect in Mara's town v scum play. I *suck* at reading Cephrir and have mostly been focusing on Mara based on some things I think I've learned to pick up on to differentiate her alignment. Can I be wrong? Sure, I can be wrong. I don't feel like I am in this instance.
As far as your thought process question with Mara, I think she sometimes has a hard time really expressing her reads. I think she gets a read or a gut instinct and when she does that the reasons come next and sometimes they aren't really strong, but the important thing here is I believe she believes her read. And that's what leads me to believe she's innocent.
As far as the Anatole question *shrug* I think that most any question that gets you interacting with someone can be productive. (I say this knowing that I've told people they were asking stupid questions before, but hey i can be hypocritical here.) I do have experiences of scum town reading me too quickly because it's just easier to do. Also, I do have a tendency to town read people who town read me or take my side during an argument. I know this, scum know this, and yes I get freaked out if people town read me too quickly or if people not very familiar with me town read me too quickly. Getting them to answer the question can be alignment indicative because there are so many things to responses besides just the generic response. There's tone, how they respond, what answers they give. If they give a genuine sounding response and it's something believable, hey you've got the basis for a read there. One thing with Anatole was in Timeshift he said getting town reads was his thing, and while he was scum there I find that people tend to tell the truth about those types of things. So yeah, I think questions like that can be useful.-

In fact, in the recent lurker game where SleepyKrew and I hydrad, scum!desperado gave us a town read too quickly based on some meta tell of Sleepy's. We interrogated him for the entirety of day two regarding that read because it didn't sit well with us and none of his explanations were satisfactory and helped to drop the previous day's town read we had on him.-

Hey, I didn't see you as being transparent. Generally I don't hound after I get my answer unless the answer is significant to make a point. Why didn't you just say [Player X] was scum if they were a scumread? It was infuriating to no end. I prefer black and white realities. If you are confident someone is scum, say it.
I'm not taunting ika for not getting it. Crumbing it to ika, when he knows (and I know he knows) can be used to see who knows too much and why. ika's hellbent on having my head claim not because he doesn't know who I am, but because he wants to be sure the rest of his buddies if they call me by the wrong name do NOT get lynched for knowing too much.
I also suspect but I cannot prove that you may already know who the non-Mala head is as well.
I am posting lyrics because it's fun to post lyrics. Plus they can give some emotional context to the words I type.

If I'm confident someone is scum, I do. (Unless I'm holding onto the read to watch interactions) I don't if I have some minor gut feelings and watching something play out.
At that point I was more concerned with figuring out our read on fourtrouble because then that would give us a center and a point from which we could figure the game out.
Scum have daytalk. He could easily tell his buddies if that were the case.
I don't care if you guys post lyrics. I like the lyrics. I consider a form of trivia where I try to guess the song because I'm a dork.-

My concern about Csaero wasn't wholly based on finding that game, though that didn't help. What concerns me is that he has the potential for analysis, but he came in, did his thing and disappeared while posting onsite.
While I don't think the posting other games is the hugest scum tell, it is concerning the way he went about it. He hasn't been back, and is due a prod, and he's been onsite.-

When you say he has the potential for analysis, wouldn't that imply that he can fake reasoning as scum, too? I feel like what he did was so over-the-top careless that he's gotta just be town.
I only briefly looked at that one newbie game and he was town. The impression I got from his entrance was clueless newbie who was a bit of a VI so I didn't take him seriously all that much. But after Titus mentioned his meta, I looked at that game to see if that was consistent with my impression. I didn't look through all his meta to see what his scum game looked like, just noticed that my original thought was wrong. Then, I've noticed him onsite both yesterday and today while ignoring this game, which is concerning.
I mean he could be someone who is rather new and realized he did something silly and doesn't want to come back, but I don't have a way of figuring that one out.-

In post 1264, FourTrouble wrote:Tammy, I can understand where F-16 and you are coming from with the "why do you think I'm town" question. I should have waited before commenting, to see where you went with it. Context makes all the difference. But I don't play much mafia these days, and I'm rusty and forgetful, and apparently a bad communicator too, so I fucked that up. But I don't think you guys are scum, and that's not why I said it's a minor scum-tell, though I still think the question isn't that helpful to determining alignment of good players, since they're gonna spot town-tells as scum. You can disagree with me here if you think I'm wrong, but at least in my experience, if I "know" someone is town, spotting their town-tells is much easier. Which is why I think scum have an easy time explaining their town-reads, and why I think the question theoretically doesn't help sort good players' alignments. Anyway. Regarding Anatole, I get what you're saying about his explanation being too "convenient," but at the same time, I'd expect better reasoning from him if he were scum. So it's hard to make much of his read + explanation. I also don't see why he'd lie about his actions in another game -- cause if he's scum, he's going through a lot of trouble to "fabricate" a read on you. It would be so much easier to just look for a couple posts with town-tells, andd point them out knowing that you're town and that he's not even making shit up.
Sure, I mean I've caught inexperienced scum with things I'd never catch experienced or better players with, but it hasn't kept me from trying. The answer to one question also wouldn't give me a definitive read, and I would keep all those things in mind, but the answer seems to be giving you a read on him, so it was helpful in that regard. You might be right; maybe that is an odd town read for scum to give.
I think I'm going to go to sleep though and worry about this tomorrow.-

He very obviously didn't get any actual info from anyone (apparently already knew stuff ABOUT my character rather than just his name).
I think the only plausible scum motivation is that he hoped acting like a dipshit would get him some townreads.
That's just hard for me to swallow

And the (misplaced) belief that we could break the game with flavor seemed earnest.
Maybe you're right. Maybe he did just kinda get scared off or something. I mean I could see an argument for him being newbscum who didn't know how to enter the game, but I dunno. I need sleep.-

I don't think it does. I do think the way csareo went about it looks town though.-

This doesn't explain why csareo would have mine and babs names mixed up. The replacing should have nothing to do with it because csar would have gotten this PM at the start of the game before any replacing happened and at that point babs would also be getting a PM that said neighbor and nothing about a magician, theoretically.
csareo was a replacement as well. You're a replacement. My guess is that when he went to change the pm to send to csareo when he replaced in, he inadvertently changed siyawuwhatever to baboon instead of your name.-

This is dangerous. Your read on us is wrong. You might not like it but we're town, so discounting what we think because your read is wrong on us is going to lead you down incorrect paths here if you're town.

If you thought the magician claim seemed suspicious anyway, why didn't you seem suspicious of baboon upon replacing in?-
