I have dreams of a game that, for once, doesn't devolve into absolute fuckery by page 5. I've seen scum lynched before they even posted, but rarely does it provide the satisfaction of hunting and catching that same scum and giving scum two free kills (and taking away the first kill's chance to claim) doesn't exactly light the fire in my heart.In post 48, SpyreX wrote:Imagine the glory. Look inside yourselves, you all know you've wanted to lynch someone before they could post.
Why not today? You can blame me. You can feed your dark desires without even being culpable.

Well then, care to explain why I'm part of your selective list camn and why you're okay with me being lynched? Looks like culling to me if you ask me

She said it was almost random, which is different from completely random (and if it was completely random - a dwlee/you/Cakez trio is just as likely as any other so I don't understand your criticism there). She also said that Day 1 is very dynamic, meaning the shortlist she has right now is probably based on feelings, inclinations, isn't yet significant.In post 52, kraska77 wrote:That's not what I'm talking about, I was pointing out that it doesn't look random to me like she's saying
I'm a newer player so we haven't played together much at all before
And dwlee and cakes look like the easiest pickings out of the playerlist
I don understand why you're currently worried about her shortlist unless you think she has the intent to follow through with stated reads in the first three pages of the game."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

I interpreted it more as "talk about these people" as opposed to "these are people that are priority sorts".In post 68, kraska77 wrote:i mean really why am i and cakeboy priority to scrutinise?

There was not a place where I misrepresented kraska or made her look bad; the purpose of my questioning was not to "make her look bad", it was to figure out what she was driving at with her camn questioning.In post 94, SirCakez wrote:Because it seems nacho is more interested in making kraska look like scum then actually finding scum
Camn is probably innocent because her posting is really loose. She's more uptight as scum.
The only place where she felt I misinterpreted her was when I said she was "worried", which I don't think was unreasonable or anywhere close to it, but feel free to disagree if you'd like. Why do you think Camn is town now (if it's just the uptight thing do you really think that not being uptight for one day is significant? could you give me an example of her being uptight as scum)? Why did you think she was scum before?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Too defensive implies odd behavior, which is worthy of questioning because either it's something I don't understand, something kraska isn't expressing well enough, or its kraska awkwardly faking something for some reason.In post 100, SirCakez wrote:I mean like "too defensive" implies scumminess

There's a massive difference between "white-knighting" and pushing back a lynch that is proposing to lynch you because you're a hydra, don't you think?

It's completely possible that you have scum her, but I don't really see why him dying two days from now does anything but help the game state. Two days from now I'll have a more solid group of people I am willing to trust, I'll leave a better footprint so that I will have made a mark on this game if I'm shot N1, and his partners will have to deal with your wacky push on him for two days longer (as in they will actually have to comment on it). If he's town, it gives him a bit of time to recover from an awkward and underwhelming entry, it gives him time to get a bit frustrated, it gives him time to let things out a bit more.
Like right now I can see his dumb "oh nacho is scum you're whiteknighting me" line as scum trying to for the HEY I'M WACKY AND TOWN points and I can see it as Dwlee just flailing around under pressure. I see SirCakez's recent push similarly; could be scum, could be town, no real idea right now. A couple days down the road and maybe Dwlee backs off or maybe Dwlee keeps pushing but either way it will tell a hell of a lot more than his entrance did."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

SpyreX, don't worry; I will not let a wagon on me fester all day. Either the paranoia surrounding me will surround and devour me alive or someone will pull their head out of their ass and I'll be a free man once again.
I don't have a lot of time right now and probably won't post until a bit later tomorrow (long day ahead of me), but I'll do my best to give you a little taste of the hellfire to come."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

This is a not so great premise based on what stage of the game it is currently. I can do whatever the hell I want at this point in the time because everyone who has played more than five games of mafia knows that currently the name of the game is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. Arguing that I struggled to get off an RVS push (that no, wasn't a push more than it was questioning) is equivalent to me arguing that this case is you overcompensating because you wanted to separate yourself from your shitty House vote (which, just to be perfectly clear, is 100% an absolutely absurd argument).In post 299, Elyse wrote:The "I'd move onto something else but I don't have anything" reeks of Nacho wanting to get off kraska because he knows it's a shitty push (or whatever he's calling it) but has nowhere else to go.
Saying that he could feel free to disagree was a challenge, as evidenced by "...which I don't think is unreasonable or anywhere close to it" which came immediately before. I don't even understand what the "too much uncertainty" point has to do with anything or how you even got to that point if you were actually reading my post; the rest of the post was very strongly and obviously not "uncertain".In post 299, Elyse wrote:"feel free to disagree if you'd like" pings my scumdar. Shows too much uncertainty.
Cakez misrepped me. I expect Cakez to misrep me regardless of alignment because he doesn't typically read very closely.In post 299, Elyse wrote:I find Nacho's response here oddly tame. Like he just accused Cakez of misrepping him and just asks him why he did it rather than looking for motivation. Doesn't jive with me.
Saying that I was too tame for you is equivalent to saying that I'm too defensive, or angry-sounding; unless you have decent familiarity with a person or you've played with them a decent amount, nitpicking someone to the degree that you're doing to me right now is ineffective and annoying as hell.
Context: Dwlee's entrance was underwhelming and that post was a follow up to that point.In post 299, Elyse wrote:More "there's nothing to work with!"
Which you would realize if you were reading my posts.
I know that it's happened in the past. I know a couple of times where I've had that same attitude that you have here.In post 299, Elyse wrote:This is just unnecessary. The jalapeno wagon wasn't ever going through so early. Nacho knows this.
I also know that playing conservatively has absolutely nothing to do with alignment. You know this too!
I didn't white knight Dwlee.In post 299, Elyse wrote:Again, a tame response. Here jalapeno is accusing him of white knighting and instead of looking at WHY jalapeno would say that, he posits a dumb rhetorical question.
I was pushing back against the idea of a speedlynch, as you just noted.
Why is pointing out that I wasn't whiteknighting him an unacceptable response?
How on earth are you missing the context here?In post 299, Elyse wrote:More "there's nothing to go on yet."
Like, okay, maybe I understand you missing the last one, everyone makes mistakes, but there's clearly a reason I'm pointing out that it is still in the early stage in the game that you ignore for absolutely no reason.
My argument was that Dwlee's early wagon was stupid.In post 299, Elyse wrote:This reads as scum bewildered that his attempted buddying isn't working.
His response was that they hadn't done anything at all (in the first day of the game).
That response was dumb."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Someone acting differently than you expect means that it's perfectly normal (and the purpose of the game even) to prod at it. Someone acting differently doesn't mean that they are suspicious, especially when you don't have any familiarity with a player that's acting differently.In post 291, SirCakez wrote:The nature of being "too" something (too laidback, too lurky, etc.) implies scumminess, so I pointed that out and he agreed and voted Nacho.
As for your "I'm close to 100% sure that Nacho is scum"... You've played with me a few times but not many times at all, you haven't demonstrated any unique strength in reading me (I remember you being paranoid as hell in Gumball of me as town and I remember you defending me in Musical when I was scum), the game isn't yet three days old... don't you think that you should probably dial back the confidence a couple of notches?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Gigabyte said that it looked like I was making kraska look too defensive.In post 162, SirCakez wrote:Look at this scumbutt
I never said he said "too defensive", I was talking to gigabyte lol.
Your response was that too defensive = scumminess.
If "too defensive" = "scummy", then "making kraska look scummy" and "making kraska look too defensive" are equivalent statements.
If you didn't agree with his point, then it makes no sense for you to respond to his point the way you did as opposed to saying something along the lines of "I disagree with your point!"."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Let's actually look at my posts against Kraska again:In post 317, SirCakez wrote:Nacho's posts at the start seeked to actively misrep Kraska, then when confronted with this he proceeded to misrep me then started dodging the game.
That summarizes it pretty succinctly.
I think we can both agree that I'm not misrepping kraska by asking her questions. At least, I hope we can both agree on this point.In post 51, Nachomamma8 wrote:

I also said that she was "worried" about it. Is this the misrep you're talking about? What am I misrepresenting here?
So, AT BEST, your big problem with my exchange with kraska is that I used the word "worried".
Second, to me dodging the game? Because I went less than 24 hours without posting? No."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Defensiveness isn't a scumtell. Being "too defensive" isn't a scumtell, it's a personality trait.In post 323, SirCakez wrote:In what world is "too defensive" something used not to describe scummy behavior?
I don't understand the relevance of my past with you, that's pointless shade casting. I don't need experience with you to have a strong read on you.
I never described kraska as "too defensive" or "too anything", I just keep drawing a line between "this is something I am questioning" and "this is something that I find scummy".
And no, I don't imagine you would understand why I'm bringing up your past failures.
When I am nightkilled this game and I flip as town, understand that your approach to me doesn't work. When your approach to someone doesn't work, you need to change how you approach them, you need to try harder not to read them, you need to be more careful with your reads on them so you don't fall flat on your face the next time."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Vote: Elyse
While I'm still acknowledging that Elyse's case could have just been a townie trying too hard to put words with feelings, I'm not really buying that Elyse as town would stretch quite that much (in particular her "Nacho's saying that nothing has happened! Scummy!"), and I don't really like her "too tame, too much uncertainty" tells; I don't think that any of what she pointed out is an actual scumtell or anything that she believes is a scumtell and I don't think she'd make such a large case on something she knew was completely insignificant."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

I was acknowledging a different point of view (that I have considered) before explaining why I didn't think it was the case.

The only opportunity for good wagon analysis is analysis of wagons. We don't have that right now.In post 419, camn wrote:Alright. Agreed. There is enough meat in this sandwich.
VOTE: SpicyJalapeñoKnocks
I think this is the right move today.
a) likely scum.
b) Reasonable amount of wagon-analysis opportunity.
c) not sold on nacho-scum
d) death to all hydras.
Don't let Elyse off the hook so easily for today; let me press her, let her continue her case against me, let me rain why it's dumb to let her off the hook so easily; you and SpyreX gripe about losing to lurker scum but Elyse is a top tier lurker and you're letting her go because she made that tiny little "Nacho is still scum" line?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

I never attacked Kraska. I didn't vote Kraska. I didn't say that what I pointed out was alignment indicative; it was different than my expectations which is why I pushed. My push on Waco Kids in TV Show Characters; it happened late game when people were ready for a lynch but didn't like the options before them, and I framed it much like the way that SpyreX is framing the Jalapenos lynch now in that he was lurky, he was underwhelming, he needed to die.In post 327, SirCakez wrote:My big problem with this is your motivations here (misrep wasn't a good term for it). I don't think anything you attacked Kraska for was AI and it looks like a scum trying to fake a push early on onto a player who left themselves open to an easy push. It reminds me of your Waco Kid push in TV Show Characters mafia which just ended.
Could you point out some specifics of why you thought the two pushes were similar?
Where did I call Kraska scummy? Why did you think that I was calling Kraska scum (or trying to make her look bad since you love your semantics)?In post 327, SirCakez wrote:That's something we disagree on

As promised, here's a scum ISO that shows why clearing Elyse for doubling down in a situation where most scum wouldn't is a bad idea.
Part of what feels strange about this post is the "oh if Nacho isn't lynched by tomorrow morning I will be pissed" - it's overblown. Even SirCakez who said that he was close to 100% that I was scum on page 2 or some dumb crap like that didn't expect me to be lynched in a day. And maybe it's a bad move for me to expect Elyse to see some flaws in what she's pushing but a lot of what she's pushing makes absolutely no sense at all and it's really really hard for me to see town becoming so cartoonishly close-minded at such an early stage of the game; as scum who feels particularly comfortable 1v1ing people, definitely.In post 329, Elyse wrote:If Nacho isn't lynched by tomorrow morning I will be PISSED
Just read his latest posts and his shitty OMGUS vote on me. I think my personal favorite is telling Cakez that his read can't be strong because he hasn't played with Nacho "many times".
And as for her attack on me for criticizing Cakez for not being able to read me, here's the context yet again:
I pointed out that 1) Cakez sucked reading me in the past, 2) Cakez hasn't played with me much, 3) The game was three days old.In post 291, SirCakez wrote:

I wasn't even expecting a dissection; even something along the lines of "I didn't like how slimy that felt" or something more believable than cherry picking me having a problem with Cakez being close to 100% sure that I'm scum not three days into the game and saying that she expects me to get lynched overnight and that's the smoking gun that should do it.In post 352, Papa Zito wrote:

If this was true town blinders tunneling AHA I FOUND SCUMZ here I would expect a dissection of Nacho's response but instead she took her ball and went home.In post 340, SpyreX wrote:I just can't see scum holding onto it though zito help me

First of all, this is a game where dram did what dram typically does and people were confused and appalled all at once. If you were looking for something more along the lines of personal experience, then I'm not quite sure how to describe his play other than "something like this".In post 373, gigabyteTroubadour wrote:245 didn't feel like a townpost. like where is the town motivation in taking potshots at someone's townreads if you're not scumreading any of those people? if he disagreed about one of my reads that's one thing, but that's not at all what he said. also him calling it a townbloc was kind of ???, while i was sheeping cakey at the time i didn't really have any intention to get those 4 people to work together because i still feel like i'm sorting everyone at not super happy with all of my reads. i just don't really get how someone reacts to me saying "I have 4 townreads!" the way he did, it was an overreaction to nothing.
His explanation for lashing out at your townblock seems to be because he thought you were townreading them because they were your friends; dramonic likes to be grumpy and tell people who aren't doing things as well as he's doing things that they suck. I won't pretend like he's doing it because he has some great concern for the town and is particularly aggressive about cutting off unhealthy lines of thought before they begin, it's just more of a dram thing which you'll see if you ISO him or podoboq (who had a reaction that's quite similar to yours right this instant)."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Oh yeah and I agree with this; not sure why calling a town family a town block is an overreaction or why that overreaction is even scummy in the first place.In post 376, House wrote:Also, I think your reaction to him calling it a townblock is a tiny bit of an overreaction. Some players do refer to their townreads as a town block, and you lumped a bunch of us into one post in such a way that it could be seen as such.

I don't think that lurking out their lynch at this point is intentional (there's no real reason to lurk here as either alignment); I thought the best reason for calling Dwlee town was him accusing me of white-knighting when I was the only person who wasn't shitting on him at that point in time and that tell is mitigated by me already having people who suspected me at the time.In post 461, Postie wrote:1) As scum, why lurk out your own lynch?
2) Along the same kind of lines, why would scum lurk out their partner's lynch at this point rather than bus the fuck out of them? Presently, no one's really shouting about their lynch with any real conviction except SpyreX, and if you want to convince me they're partners then glhf.
I also don't really think that the game has been going on long enough to say that people are lurking out anything, but maybe that's just me...?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

It happened and then Elyse said that the logic was strong enough where she decided she was officially against the jalapeno wagon.In post 551, SpyreX wrote:No that literally happened.

I don't like the prospect of being forced to claim in a game where I should be drawing a nightkill. There is absolutely no world where I allow myself to get lynched or I make it anything but an immensely painful slog for whoever the hell is currently trying to mislynch me, but it's fairly easy to get me to play my cards on the table simply by working with me and talking with me instead of talking around me - I am not you or SpyreX, I am not afraid of tipping my hand or undermining the wagons by being too transparent because eventually the truth will out in the end unless people are sticking their fingers in their ears and refusing to listen, refusing to read, and if that's the case, then I will eat a mislynch knowing that I've done everything that I can to fight it, and I will make my thoughts as transparent and clear for anyone willing to pick up my torch once I'm gone."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

Hey, House: what do you think of this argument?In post 526, Elyse wrote:Notice that Spyrex called the Nacho wagon "boring" (not bad) and thinks it's legitimate enough to stick around until the end of the day.
Elyse is currently arguing that because SpyreX called my wagon "boring" and didn't explicitly call it "bad" he secretly loves the hell out of it.

See, me and people like me, when we say that a player's posting is boring, what we really mean is that a player's posting sucks. But people like me like to occasionally have a little style when we talk, ask rhetorical questions, use different adjectives to describe similar things but apparently that's absolutely ridiculous in Elyse's eyes? Probably yours too, right?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

And I really want you to parse and understand Elyse's arguments right now because I completely understand your approach; it's fine to respect people and give them space when they deserve it, but when someone you respect is giving you a plate of absolute bullshit, then you need to give them hell for it. I think that Elyse is a fantastic player as both alignments; I think that she's insightful, I think that she's smooth as scum, I think that she's logical, and I think that she doesn't consistently make me want to tear my hair out. She is a better player than what she's presenting right now, and I really don't think you will disagree with me if you actually give her arguments the time they deserve."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

When I respect a player, it is because I think that their opinions are better than the opinions of average people.In post 589, House wrote:I think it's an opinion and not something that can be objectively fact checked, so I'm willing to accept that she thinks that.
Whether i agree or not is irrelevant, the question is whether her belief is genuine to her.
You should know all this, so what are you really driving at?
When you tell me that she is better than you at reading people, I expect you to be analyzing her approach; how is she reading people? What are the points that matter to her, what are the points that she's bringing up?
Your opinion of her matters because she is your sounding board this game; you should be paying attention to her opinion more than anyone else's. I care about your opinion of her because my case on her is coming from a similar perspective to your perspective (a position of respect), and if I'm completely off then you're in the best position to tell me because right at this moment it doesn't feel like she's going to convince me that she's town by the strength of her own posting.
So, once more with feeling:
What do you think of her argument re: SpyreX and adjectives?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

She's strong as either alignment. Stumbling and tripping is abnormal regardless of alignment.In post 591, House wrote:Do I think she's trusting tryharding right now?
Yes.
Do I think she's scum tryharding? If Elyse is as smooth as scum as you say she is, I don't think she'd be fumbling and tripping all over herself in an early d1 case.

And just because this has been a game of "OH GOD THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID" here's the quote in all of its unadulterated glory:
The implication here is that because SpyreX called my wagon boring (not bad), he doesn't think that it's bad.In post 526, Elyse wrote:
Notice that Spyrex called the Nacho wagon "boring" (not bad) and thinks it's legitimate enough to stick around until the end of the day.In post 311, SpyreX wrote:Cakes bringing the hard hitting journalism.
You've got two heads producing that. Yes i want you lynched. Would i be shocked if you flipped town? No. Would i cry tears of regret? No.
This nacho wagon is boring. Too boring in fact. But just the right level of boring that it will fester until day end and then lo and nehold there we are
And because he said that it would stick around until the end of the day, he thought that it was legitimate.
Is it really that much of a stretch of the imagination to divine bad from boring? I don't think so. Do I really think that what he was trying to say here was "man this Nacho wagon is legitimate but I don't want to admit it"? Hell no. I don't think that Elyse believes either of these things because they are both ridiculous thoughts and neither are things that SpyreX actually said (which is what a misrep ACTUALLY is, Cakez take note). I think that she's playing the way she is because she thinks that no one will read her exchange and she thinks people will read her on tone and she will coast as a result."Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten

I don't think that she's stumbling or tripping over herself, I think she's misrepresenting the shit out of an overwhelming majority of cases that she's touching and I think she's doing it because she knows that she's able to get away with it most of the time because, surprise surprise, people don't actually read the games that they're playing. They see a huge wall and they go "effort! probs town" or "I had a scumread on them before! probs scum" and that's that.In post 596, House wrote:So by your own admission her shitty (by your definition) case is NAI.

That's not the entirety of the issues I have with 526; Rome wasn't built in a day and so I'm trying to encourage people to actually read the shit she's trying to peddle piece by piece, one step at a time. I just want you to look me in the eyes and go "you know what Nacho? you're right. that argument sucked ass. I don't think it's alignment indicative and I'd still lynch you in a second, but, in this specific scenario, you are correct that argument was dumb and weird". And then I'll be able to go to sleep with a smile on my face tonight.In post 598, House wrote:I just don't think 526 is the smoking gun you think it is.

She's smooth as scum not because everything she says is smooth; she's smooth because she knows how to play to an audience. she knows people aren't reading our wall war. She knows that people will probably dismiss her for tone alone. I think she's failing on a couple of points, but really, who cares about those points? Does SpyreX? Does Camn? Do you? Fuck no. You know that people often townread you simply for posting a bunch; they don't care what you're saying as long as you're saying. Elyse is playing the same game, but if you actually look into her posts, there's no way in hell that you can come away from it all with a "yeah, I think that she actually believes this" type of read.In post 602, House wrote:If she's smooth ass scum!Elyse, why would she pick one of the worst possible people in the game to antagonize her first (real) vote?"Playing with Nacho is like playing with a religious conservative." ~UncertainKitten
