Ah, the details are coming back to me now! Jacob asked me to play, I said yes, and so here we are some time later with the playerlist as it is.
And now that we're here...I have to say...
...What thehellwas I thinking? If this game was advertised as being multiscum, I never read enough to have caught that, but now that we're here, it's clear that it is. And Ihatebeing town in multiscum games (and, yes, I am town; I kinda townslipped in my last post accidentally so I'm basically going to be rambling the whole game ), simply because my scumdar takes a ton of calibration to lock in. Still, though, if this Fire and Ice game is like the open (I'll double-check the rules to see if it is) at all, then that's a promising sign considering how well my last one went. 19 players likely means 3 each, for 6 total, and I'll be looking for that many.
Anyway, this is basically my intro-post. I'll get to reading things and hopefully lock onto some scum. (Don't expect anything stellar, though. Last time, I got good because I replaced in. I'm a far more mediocre player when playing from the start, and only elevate to scumhunting-pseudo-god when replacing in or after enough time has passed that I can mimic the effect. Basically, when playing from the start, I've got a switch flipped to the off position, called "sheep me". Right now, "sheep me" is flipped off; you shouldn't be doing it. When I get my head into the game, I'll let you know when the switch has been flipped and you should follow. )My academy.

Here. It's there if you know where to look. Once I posted that, I knew I shouldn't have posted it, 'cause it made me obvtown AGAIN, meaning I'm dead in the first two nights regardless of how accurate my reads are.In post 48, Bulbazak wrote:Townslip? Where?

It crosses my mind that, this being a multiscum game, we're going to be bandwagon happy, since scum can and will be legitimately scumhunting. In a case like this with a wagon getting to L-3 so soon into the day, for instance, it definitely feels like 2-4 scum are here, thinking that Yunichika is opposite-scum, when in fact it's quite highly probable she's neither.In post 92, ElectricSavages wrote:Yunichikawowwow [7] - Garmr,Slandaar,Desperado,Bulbazak,Dry-fit,Yiley, JKLM
Bolded in particular are figures of interest, and italicized are minor figure of interest. (Note that doesn't mean I think the bolded are scum. I've just been keeping a much, MUCH closer eye on them than the others.)My academy.

Yes, but I'm not writing you off as being a cheeky scumbag yet.
You put the wagon to L-2. Consider yourself a second italicized name on there.

Because JKLM looks to be town to me, albeit admittedly not nearly as strongly as I'd prefer him to be.In post 102, Bulbazak wrote:Why aren't you considering JKLM?
But all the bolded/italicized? Are basically null (I can maybe see Slandaar or Desp or PV reads changing, but they're figures of interest because I'm not feeling them strongly to be town like I should be), or maybe scum.My academy.

'Course. Even assuming therewerefour scum on the wagon, that'd still be ~2 off of it, so let's look at the remainder.
The Bulbazak wagon I'm decently certain is all town.In post 100, ElectricSavages wrote:Bulbazak [3]- ArcAngel9, mastin 2, Yunichikawowwow
Yiley [1]- Toomai
Toomai [1]- Maxous
JKLM [1]- Matias
Desperado [1]- aptil
Not Voting [4]- T S O, Lawrencelot, evilpacman18, OhGodMyLife
Maxous is a minor scumread of mine, though it's been so long since I've played with him that I really forget the towntells/scumtells I used to nail his ass. (And Maxous has probably changed them anyway, making them useless. >_<)
Toomai is basically nullish-town, emphasis on null. My gut reaction to Toomai was town, but that reaction isn't so much for Toomai's posting so much as it is people's REACTIONS to Toomai's posting.
Matias is null and likely will stay there for quite a while; I want him to establish a footing in this game so that we can get more easily acquainted. (If he doesn't get his footing, and doesn't ask for replacement, though, he'll be scum. )
Aptil is similar to Toomai. I'm guessing town, but it's just that, a wild mass guess off of literally nothing.
Leaves the Not Voting pile. Which is, y'know, basically the players who haven't checked in yet. Which, y'know. Basically means null-aside-from-refuge-in-audacity-guesses.
...But just for teh lulz, let's make a refuge-in-audacity guessanywayand say they're all town.
This isn't nearly solidified enough for me to flip the switch, but it's probably the fastest I've gotten to feeling like I'll be flipping it soon.My academy.

Nope! Multiscum doesn't mean "everyone's scum". It just means that there are more scum than normal. With only 19 players, that's pretty damn guaranteed to be three per faction, making six total scum.In post 108, PeregrineV wrote:@Mastin- 105 has way too many townreads for a game that is supposed to be multi-scum.Furthermore, because there's six total scum, I should have ~12 townreads, which is more or less the total you come out with when you look at my post.
Honestly, I think that there's 3-5 scum on the Yunichika wagon now that I think about it (I sincerely doubt both scumreads have the entirety of their teams on there, hilarious as that may be to try ), and that the remaining 1-3 are off it. You're assuming that these numbers are arbitrary, but they're not. You're also assuming that I'm making blind assumptions, but I'm not. Of the [1] voters, the ones that stick out the most to me are Maxous and Matias. Of the Not Voters, they're basically mostly null, but I have ideas on some of them that if true would make them town, ideas I haven't followed through and researched, but which exist all the same.My academy.

Aptil can be scum with Bulbazak, but otherwise is probably town.In post 110, aptil wrote:I don't understand the Bulb wagon . 1 vote is random . 1 vote is a sheep vote . 1 vote was a vote by other player to try and start a counter-wagon to their own wagon .
@mastin : Why do you think yuni is innocent ?
To answer...it's a combination of seeing town in Yuni's posts and seeing scum scumhunting Yuni via voting her. By which, I mean, seeing her wagon, its speed, its composition, the reasoning behind voting, and everything, basically being a signature multiscum move, of scum voting her thinking she's scum, when in truth she isn't.My academy.

The only options are 4 or 6.In post 112, Bulbazak wrote:Actually, it's the same amount of scum, just split up into multiple teams.
4 is the same as in the normal Fire & Ice, a mini-sized open. I don't see the mods doing that.
So, 6. Which given the number of players, IS a bit more than normal.
Yup! Scumdriven wagon is, well...scum-driven.In post 113, PeregrineV wrote:\you thinking a full HALF of the Yuni voters are scum.
Anything specific about the 5 scummiest?
And, no. Nothing specific. I've got eight names on there, and SIX of them look like they could be scum, you among them.

Okay. So Desp being Desp, I know he's a competent player enough to do this as scum. ESPECIALLY multiscum games where a scum-him can legitimately scumhunt. But I really like his chain of posts right here, so he's on the town side of null.In post 134, Desperado wrote:Really? There's at least one scum amongeight people? This epiphany wasn't genuine at all.
Basically, this.In post 136, Desperado wrote:I want Yuni dead so we can lynch Matias after she flips scum. His thought process is so much shallower than Mastin's, and given the game we just finished that is not something I expected to say about Matias.
Also, Garmr is town because Garmr is showing a town mindset, seems to be legitimately scumhunting, and not manipulating. He's not playing a survivalistic game at all, not being conservative, not anything I'd expect of scum-in-multiscum. He's being active, he's being aggressive, he's thinking for himself, taking initiative, being proactive, and giving some actually-valuable insights. True, not impossible to come from scum, but this seems to be his town self.
By the way? Matias is showing the opposite to me. Matias seems to be half-assing his scumhunting, playing a long-term survival game. He's posting, but his posting isn't having much of an impact at all, feeling shallow and hollow overall. His posting has very little aggression, and most of what he's doing is reactive rather than proactive. His insights are similarly "meh", and are not something I'd expect from him if he were town.
I'm not sure I understand. But yes. Scum voting Yuni probably think she's actually scum. It's painfully obvious she isn't, but scum this game are going to be scumhunting. Their scumhunting method will be different, naturally. Their scumhunting's not going to be as in-depth as town. It's going to be more shallow. It's going to be a cross between their scum selves (faking scumhunting) and town selves (real scumhunting), in that they're not going to fully believe what they're pushing, but they ARE going to be somewhat-serious and legitimate.In post 154, Slandaar wrote:
Uh you do realise for this to be true the people voting her must genuinely think she is scum and thus there is no reason to assume one situation over the other.In post 111, mastin2 wrote:To answer...it's a combination of seeing town in Yuni's posts and seeing scum scumhunting Yuni via voting her.

Garmr and JKLM are still townreads of mine. Desp is on the town side of null. PV's at dead-ambivalent-null. Bulbazak's not a strong scumread, but is a minor one. Yiley's a scumread, but not by much. Dry-fit is a somewhat-strong scumread, but not nearly as strong as I'd prefer him to be.In post 101, mastin2 wrote:

Off the wagon, we've got Maxous as a minor scumread, Matias as a decent scumread, and aptil as only-scum-with-Bulbazak (otherwise, town). Antihero is null, but might be scum. (Read pending.)
AA9 and Yunichika are town, and Toomai looks that way, too. TSO is town as well. EPM and OGML are both null via lack of posts, but I'm guessing they're town despite no posting. (Aside from their confirms.)
I'm not really comfortable flipping the switch; this is mostly circumstantial analysis in an early-game scenario, where there are still too many variables to be certain of. But I'm pretty dang close to having flipped it.My academy.

Actually, no. I said as much. Scum's scumhunting will beIn post 179, Slandaar wrote:The point is; if someone thinks someone is scum as scum, they will do so as town because contrary to what you say scum will actually scumhunt and find the same things scummy as if they were town this is especially true this early on, later maybe you could say they fake some but page 5? nope.
Therefore in actuality all you are saying is a bunch of people genuinely think she is scum.similar, but not identical. They're going to be prone to bias thanks to knowing who isn't opposite-scum, and it's within scum's interests to NOT be scumhunting at 100% of their ability. They're also prone to being on any wagon they know is not on them/their team, because said player--town or opposite scum, doesn't matter!--is advantageous to be lynched.
Thus. Why wagons rise on town players so easily--because both scum factions see that player asjustscummy enough to vote, think it's possible said player could be opposite scum, and thus, that they're immune to the consequences of that wagon. Scum aren't entirely scumhunting, so scum aren't going to necessarily be voting who they think are scum. They're going to be voting who they think they can get away with voting, and Yuni's wagon SCREAMS that.

Me acknowledging your existence is a very bad thing for you, Antihero. It means that
you're not acting town.
This is actually quite possible! Most of my stronger scumreads are off the wagon. You, Desp, Yiley, and PV are the only figures of interest left on it. Desp is nullish-town, you're only mildly scum, Yiley could be scum but is not certainly so, and PV's an ambivalent read.In post 202, Slandaar wrote:I think everyone currently voting Yuni is town.
...I'm not so sure it'sprobable, given that I can still see you as scum and am still figuring out Yiley for sure.
I'm a bit worried this Dry-fit wagon will turn out the same way as the Yuni wagon, and that the names on it aren't exactly town, but I'm willing to try it out and see where it takes us.

So I realize I'm skipping ahead a bit, but...
This Dry-fit wagon feels like it's on scum, and I'll tell you why--because, contrary to the Yunichika wagon which appeared basically overnight, this one hasn't. It hasn't exploded into an L-2 wagon. Its built gradually and steadily. Furthermore, while the points against Yunichika were fairly weak and rushed (making the wagon on her unwarranted), the points against Dry-fit feel like they're more solid and grounded in reality.In post 275, ElectricSavages wrote:Dry - Fit[6]-Desperado, Matias, Yiley, mastin2, T S O, Toomai
Yunichikawowwow [4]- Slandaar, JKLM, PeregrineV, OhGodMyLife
Toomai [2]- Maxous, Dry-fit
JKLM [2]- Bulbazak, Garmr
Bulbazak [1]- ArcAngel9
Desperado [1]- aptil
Maxous [1]- Yunichikawowwow
Not Voting [2]- Antihero, evilpacman18,
Now, as a disclaimer, that doesn't necessarily mean the names on the wagon are town! (Looking at the first three, in particular, maybe others if the wagon's composition has changed over time.) But it DOES mean that it's quite probable that, at most, only one scum faction is present on his wagon.
Yeah, I realize this is a little bit arbitrary, but multiscum games DO have strong tendencies to follow these trends. A wagon on town has both scum on it, and a wagon on scum might have SOME scum on it but is mostly made up of town. A wagon on town forms overnight and with little backing, whereas a wagon on scum is more solidified and gradual to form. So while this itself is not enough to condemn Dry-fit...it DOES contribute to the pile of evidence that he is scum.My academy.

Funny you should mention that, given what I think of your posting.In post 219, Maxous wrote:It's not that Toomai called TSO town (which he is), it's that he said nothing BUT that.
Look at his ISO - he is posting just enough not to be called lurking with just enough content not be fluff posting. He gives like 1 new read per post. His pushes are weak (if existent?)
It's textbook coasting scum.
You've been averaging 2 or maybe 3 reads per post yourself, but the pattern's the same as what you're describing. A couple of reads, weakly pushed if pushed at all. Just enough content to not be lurking, just enough content to not be fluff, but with absolutely no drive behind them.
Nah, but you presenting my opinion of you this way and referencing the dark age of Mastin isn't doing you any favors for ya.In post 237, Antihero wrote:So... you're already refusing to listen to my reads, and instead only choosing to acknowledge me when YOU get a name wrong on the links.
Did you really change that much from 2010? (see, I can use disarming smilies after saying bitchy things too)
I realize you've got finals to take care of, but you've been lurking your ass off this game, and I really think that you're scum because you've done literally nothing this game at all.
Call me a sucker, but I'm beginning to come around on Yiley quite potentially being town.In post 247, Yiley wrote:That is how I work. I suck at mechanics and talking and stuff but so far when I say something like that I've been right.
Random thought, which I realize isn't very probable (I realize "too obvious to be true" is a bit of a fallacy, but, really--it's too damn obvious ), but I was thinking a Dry-fit/Maxous pairing would be quite possible. (Right now, I'm not so much hunting for scumteam pairings so much as I am honing in on who the scum actually are. If I actually isoed myself to compile all my thoughts into a single place at a single time, I think I'd have a pretty dang good picture of that, so that's something I need to get done.)
Another random thought was a Matias-Slandaar scum pairing, even though neither one of them is a strong scumread and this has literally no basis at all other than being a random thought that just so happened to ping in my head. (But again. I'm not hunting scumteams, yet. I'm hunting for scum. And from there, I'll figure out the teams.)
He WAS half-asleep, if him being awake at 3 am as he claimed is an indication of anything. It was overall null to me, but sorta leaning town just a bit.In post 309, Garmr wrote:.Since no one else mentioned it Evilpacman post was not a strong opener as it only really gave one line of thought on Jklm and looked like he was half asleep while writing it.

Anyway, I'm caught up, but I still have much work to do this game.
I'm obvtown off of a townslip, I'm obvtown off of my play, but that's not enough. (I have a good Bah post I REALLY want to use, but to use it requires both scum to nightkill me. ) I want to have good enough reads that both scum are basically forced to nightkill me in order to have a chance at winning the game.
(Which requires me to refine my reads. I really think I'm onto the right track, here, but things aren't solidified quite yet.)My academy.

Nah. As scum, I get nightkilled in multiscum. (Ah, Trumpet's large normal. How fond my memories of you are. Where the only lynch on scum came from the scum becoming mod-confirmed scum. And all five other scum got nightkilled, four being crosskills and one the town vig. That town seriously did not deserve to win that game. )In post 338, T S O wrote:Mastin's gonna be a bitch to beat if he's scum this game, dammit.
But yes, I'm going to be a bitch to beat, because the only hope the scum really have is getting rid of me as quickly as they can. (There's areasonI always, ALWAYS die within 1-2 nights of coming into the game as town in multiscum.)My academy.

Pull this stunt as scum and get away with it, shame on me.
A part of me wonders if Dry-fit and Bulbazak are on the scumteam and the scumteams have daytalk, with them legitimately thinking I'm scum. That part of me, however, is called "my ego", and for the sake of retaining some semblance of humbleness, I'm forced to nix that theory.In post 365, Dry-fit wrote:Here's a notice for you: Sheeping mastin is a very bad idea this game. He's offered very few reads, hasn't responded to any of the things I've addressed to him even though I'm apparently his top priority, and after his catchup offers nothing but shitty wagon analysis.
Much as I appreciate (and actually quite love) people sheeping me, I don't remember you having this much respect for my abilities as town.

Your turn.
You're quite correct, the L-1 wagon IS concerning, but aside from maaaaaaybe-Desp (but not really), maybe-Matias, somewhat-OGML, and PeregrineV, there aren't any names on it I can realistically see as being scum. And even then, most of those names aren't scumreads. The wagon looks town-driven.
As an aside--the JKLM feels like a counterwagon on town to a dominant wagon on scum (Dry-fit).My academy.

Also, I ran through my iso looking for coherent scumreads. This is what I came up with:
-Maxous scum. (Fire?)
-Bulbazak scum?
{Slandaar, Desperado, Bulbazak, Dry-Fit, Yiley, PeregrineV}
Figures of interest, Yunichika wagon.
-Aptil scum with Bulbazak, or town.
-Desp null-townish.
-Matias scum.
-Antihero scum.
-Slandaar scum?
-Dry-fit strongly scum.
-Yiley town?
I need to run through it again, on the opposite side of things. (Townreads.) And look at the remainder. Also, these reads might need revision, depending on my Slandaar and Matias reads. (And to some extent, Bulbazak.) Oh, and excluded is the PV read, which is nullish-scum, better read pending. Also excluded is my recent concern for OGML, though he's probably nullish-town. (I'm not sure, yet.)
Basically, while I have an idea of where I'm going, nothing's solidified at all. At some moments, I feel like I've got way too damn many scumreads. At other times, far too few. I can't flip the switch 'til I get Goldi-locked on.My academy.

I might not be an expert at JKLM. But I'd like to think I'm not incompetent at reading him, and he looks like town.
This is the bit where, normally, I'd have some sort of witty response. But I thought it over a bit, and...well. I actually couldn't think of anything. Which means, the comment was seriously right.

While my posts have been full of purpose and directly attacking the matters, I realized that...well. They're too vague. I mean...to ME. My iso on my thoughts is crystal-clear.

Not right now, though. My reads are too much in-flux. I need to stabilize them somewhat, get things nailed down, as it were. Give me a bit to work this out.
Funnily enough, this is one of the only reads I actually HAVE elaborated on. But it literally is a "Matias scum?" right now, in that I'm not so sure of it anymore. Buuuuut, the reason I thought it is because of this--In post 426, YuniChikako wrote:I agree with most of this, but Matias scum?

True, not impossible to come from scum, but this seems to be his town self.
By the way? Matias is showing the opposite to me. Matias seems to be half-assing his scumhunting, playing a long-term survival game. He's posting, but his posting isn't having much of an impact at all, feeling shallow and hollow overall. His posting has very little aggression, and most of what he's doing is reactive rather than proactive. His insights are similarly "meh", and are not something I'd expect from him if he were town.My academy.

Would
sohave been better if he were Ice-scum, but I'm content knowing that my guess of Maxous being Fire-Scum is correct. Now I just need to prove I'm not Ice-scum in order to be conftown!
(Butyeah. I need to read up on things.)
Honestly, my guess is both factions were hunting the other faction. OGML wasn't obvtownning it up this game, nor was Maxous particularly townread. But I'm not exactly sure what that means, and on my limited access, reviewing the thread is going to be hard. I remember comments on one or both of the two that are potentially important, but not a clue where they'd be.
And here's the scum on aptil.
On a not-so-unrelated note, Toomai might actually be scum.

Uhg. Really don't feel like posting right now, but I'm fairly certain it's already been two days, so I don't exactly have a choice.

Derp. Forgot about this game.
Yeeeeeeeeeah, thinkin' Slandaar's scum from this and TSO's not. TSO's handling of the situation is much better than Slandaar's.In post 533, Slandaar wrote:
Ah, yes, necromancy war. You mean that I asked you yesterday numerous times to explain your vote which you failed to do because you didn't want to debate your vote with me.

Then theres a few mehish, those 4 are the big ones though.
I'll take another look at Desp's reasoning when my head's more in the game, but I like his take on Toomai from a skim.
I need to take another nice, good, long look at everyone (not just the five [aptil [4] - Bulbazak, Garmr, Toomai, PeregrineV, MatiasMod: that number needs fixing] listed here) who's voted aptil, because this wagon having built so fast and lingered so long is once again a very bad sign. (In particular, the towniest name on the wagon right now is Garmr. I'm scumreading Bulbazak, remember having a scumread on PV, and remember having a bad read on Matias, too.)
aptil's (relative) lack of experience (and my judgment on his current skill level as a player) combined with his slightly-out-of-place defense of Bulbazak. Nothing's changed it; the only way I can see aptil as scum is if he's scum with Bulbazak. And even if Bulbazak is scum, it's no guarantee of aptil being scum. It's just that if Bulbazak isn't scum, aptil isn't scum either. For the record, yes, I currently lean towards Bulb being scum and aptil being town.In post 563, Garmr wrote:Mastin you mention before pretty much through out day 1 that

Simply, really. Your attitude towards the whole thing?In post 572, T S O wrote:2. Explain how I handled the necromancy-cum-accusation better than Slandaar.
"What's done is done. I was wrong, okay?!? Let's move on."
Slandaar's attitude? Goad you into the necromancy war. And despite ultimately knowing it's a bad idea, he succeeded. Falling to the temptation was another sign of the town attitude, and your frustration throughout the whole ordeal was apparent. Slandaar was provoking you into a losing battle. A necromancy war will never end well for the town player, because the town player entering it has already been proven wrong by the flip, and wants to move on.
Basically, you reacted reasonably and sensibly to the whole affair, but were baited into going further by Slandaar, whose entire request was unreasonable. Yes, giving reasons on the day is good, and yes, not giving them before the flip is bad. But entering into a necromancy war about the reasons after the player the reasons are on has flipped town is beating a dead horse, and a town-Slandaar would know better than to do that.
Thus, your frustration makes you town; Slandaar's manipulation makes him scum. He wasn't entering that debate in an attempt to scumhunt. He was entering that debate with the intention of painting you badly to mislynch you.
The only truly town names on the wagon are Garmr and JKLM, plus the flipped Dry-fit. Any of the remaining five, I can see being scum. I lean against Yiley being scum because I've liked Yiley's posting. (Heck if I remember why.) I sorta lean against Desperado, though I'll probably need to investigate his multiscum play some more to confirm. Leaving?In post 576, Slandaar wrote:

{Slandaar, Bulbazak, PeregrineV}. And, yes. You're scum. Bulb's scum. PV's someone I think is quite likely Ice-scum. So there's the scum on the wagon.
I'm not sure about the number, but you're right, it sucks. The only truly town name on there is Garmr. Evil's null to me; I don't really remember him as being town or scum either way. Toomai was a townread D1, but I'm leaning scum off of D2. Bulbazak's scum, and so is Maxous.
Actually, yes, he does; NJAC was made aware of what I was going through in a recently-completed Newbie. (To keep a long story short--limited access during vacation, a grandmother who said vacation was for visiting being put in the hospital, and realizing I was suffering from depression even before the vacation.) But no, that doesn't justify his strong defense of me; there's a damn-good reason I'm scumreading NJAC.In post 582, Bulbazak wrote:Know something I don't? Why the strong defense of Mastin?

I'm also interested in your case on Bulbazak, I saw some kind of OMGUS on D1 from your part and it's not clear to me why you think Bulba's vote on aptil makes him scum, but Garmr and Yuni's votes on aptil go unobserved to you.
As for Bulbazak. Timestamps are important. I was scumreading him before he scumread me. If anyone's OMGUS'ing, it's him to me, not me to him.My academy.

I could be wrong, but I vaguely remember TSO inheriting AA9's slot.At the very least, TSO isn't fire-scum. Look at Maxous's interactions with the slot; that isnotscum bussing a scumbuddy.
Edit:Nevermind; TSO started with the game. However, statement stands--both RachMarie (AA9's actual replacement)andTSO are unlikely to be partners, because Maxous's later TSO posts don't look like a scum interacting with a scumbuddy anyway. So, statement stands.
This, however, is quite possibly scum distancing a scumbuddy.In post 83, Maxous wrote:Speaking of, Bulba gives me a bad gut feeling in general, #63 especially seems disingenuous.
For what it's worth--don't think Maxous is scum with Matias, either. Toomai is possible, but neither probable nor improbable.
I'm also considering Slandaar being fire for this, but it's something I need to analyze some more in detail to figure out for sure.In post 219, Maxous wrote:- Garmr: His first post was really comfortable(tonally), no sign of scum caution or nerves to it - and was a big difference to his early play in a mini normal I was in with him recently (in which he was scum). There is a massive difference here between this game and that game.
-Slandaar: I don't feel like he would of written #18 as scum, not a strong read but eh. (since then, his play has been ok)
- ArcAngel: What I was suspecting about Arc was that she delayed starting the game because she was strategising with her buddies pre-game first (since I happened to see her post elsewhere without confirming here) but her complete lack of activity since has blown that theory out of the water.
- Desperado: I liked how he was pro-active and agressive in pushing the Yuni wagon early, as I think scum would of voted and sat back at the point.
- Aptil: Yeah, his post being weak was the reason I was meh on him.
- JKLM: I liked him early because his posts were full of aggression and conviction
Here's another one. Bulbazak is not someone I'd think he'd have as a townread off of the content he posted, which is one reason I'm thinking Bulbazak might be a buddy. I'm thinking thatIn post 404, Maxous wrote: T S O - going nullish, not explaining Dry-Fit scum is getting tiresome and little other commentary. #281 comes across as towny though

Dry-fit - idk?ifToomai is scum, it's opposite-faction (Ice) to him. Same goes for Matias. PeregrineV for that matter.
But I'm actually really liking that Slandaar-Bulbazak conspiracy theory of mine right now.
Keep coming back to this. The Bulbazak wagon I'm quite certain is all town. The Yunichika wagon is going to have two or three scum on it, most likely. Which leaves 3-4 off. Of those voting, we've got one confirmed in Maxous. Matias I need a reread on, aptil's town, and Toomai's a mild scumread. Which leaves anywhere from 0-2 scum in the Not Voting pile. (Depending on Matias and Toomai's alignments.) TSO's town, OGML's confirmed to be town, which leaves Lawrencelot (Antihero/NJAC) and Evilpacman18.In post 100, ElectricSavages wrote:Yunichikawowwow [8]-Garmr,Slandaar, Desperado,Bulbazak,Dry-fit, Yiley,JKLM, PeregrineV

Basically, I'm looking at Bulbazak and Slandaar for fire-scum on the wagon, PV as Ice-scum on the wagon, and two ice-scum off the wagon--focusing on NJAC and Toomai, with a need to analyze Matias and evilpacman18. (Also a need to analyze Desp and Yiley, despite townreading both.)
In other words, a scumteam callout of{Maxous, Bulb, Slandaar}and{PeregrineV, Toomai, NJAC}.
However, this is just from the one wagon analyzed to death and a general outlook on the gamestate. I still need to look at the other wagons and cross-reference with isos of other players. (For instance, I haven't isoed Bulb or Slandaar to see if the Maxous connection is a probable pairing, or for that matter, if their interactions with one another make for a probable pairing. Off the top of my head, however, I don't recall any interaction which makes the pairing look doubtful.)
This, for instance, needs to be addressed. TSO's town. But both Desperado and Yiley were on this Dry-fit wagon AND the Yunichika wagon before it. They're townreads, but I'm concerned about them from this alone, and the lack of obviously-visible scum. Matias is, again, someone I need to analyze, because he looks like the most probable name for scum, and I need to re-evaluate my read on him to be sure.In post 234, ElectricSavages wrote:Dry - Fit[5]-Desperado, Matias, Yiley, mastin2, T S O

Also, there's probably one or two scum lingering on the Yunichika wagon, which again is why I'm looking at Slandaar and PeregrineV.

Here's another concern. While there are potential Ice-scum on the Dry-fit wagon, I don't really see anyone on the wagon that I've got as a realistic Fire-scum candidate. I can take another look at Maxous's reads and crossreference nulls/towns to be sure of things, but basically, this is one of my main concerns as far as my Bulb/Slandaar theory goes.

Honestly, this begs the question. Dry-fit wasn't scum. Why was there a counter-wagon to him forming? My best guess is that one or more of the other wagons in the previous votecount (Toomai/Yunichika/Bulbazak/Desperado/Maxous) was on scum, and that they wanted to ensure that the lynch was guaranteed to--if not on town--at least not be on their faction of scum. In particular, I'm thinking about the Toomai and Bulbazak wagons. Probably not for the same faction, but both having a significant chance of being FROM a faction.In post 421, ElectricSavages wrote:Dry - Fit[8]-Desperado, Matias, Yiley, mastin2, T S O, OhGodMyLife, PeregrineV, JKLM

As previously-stated, the JKLM wagon is quite likely to have more than one scum on it. Bulbazak/Toomai are my best guesses. Bulb as Fire and Toomai as Ice.
My main concern is the utter lack of Fire candidates on the wagon, not to mention, how I've only got one strong Ice candidate on there. I'm not going to arbitrarily assume the wagon must have some number of scum; it's fully possible the scum wanted to avoid it (or if not, coincidentally ended up mostly/entirely avoiding it anyway), and assuming there must be some number of scum on the wagon is bound to fail.

Rightnow, off of what I've got, my best guess is that, yes, against the odds, this wagon was mostly town. But I still need to investigate all the same.
This is a scum-driven wagon, too. I realize that it might be a bit unlikely for the majority of the wagon to be scum, but that wagon on Yunichika is not town.

What do you expect me to say? That you're town to me? You're null. Period. My "defense" on you, as you put it, is just me not buying the case Bulba made on you. But it doesn't inmediately clears you man. Should another sound case arise on you and I'll still consider it.In post 606, mastin2 wrote:

I'm also interested in your case on Bulbazak, I saw some kind of OMGUS on D1 from your part and it's not clear to me why you think Bulba's vote on aptil makes him scum, but Garmr and Yuni's votes on aptil go unobserved to you.havereached conclusions. I've got a ton of townreads,anda preliminary callout on the entirety of both scumteams:
{Maxous, Bulb, Slandaar} and {PeregrineV, Toomai, NJAC}.
That's anything BUT "no conclusions".
The thing about it is, though, that it's only preliminary. I've already done analysis and iso-work--that's how I've gotten this far. But I need to do more, to get more solid conclusions. I've reached the point where I've gathered enough evidence to have a hypothesis, so to speak. Now comes the testing phase where I gather more evidence to put the hypothesis to the test, carrying the analogy through. I've got a theory, and it seems to work. But I haven't proven it to be true or false, because I don't have enough proof; I don't have enough solid evidence to reach that definitive conclusion that what I've found is right.
And, yeah, I find your overall approach to me to be highly-scummy. Your handling of me simply doesn't seem town at all.
And yet, despite you saying this? The counterwagon existed. Dry-fitIn post 610, Toomai wrote:
I don't get this. Dry-fit was already a strong lynch candidate that both teams knew was either town or opposite. Why would they move to form a counter-wagon on someone else? That doesn't seem to accomplish anything.In post 608, mastin2 wrote:Honestly, this begs the question. Dry-fit wasn't scum. Why was there a counter-wagon to him forming? My best guess is that one or more of the other wagons in the previous votecount (Toomai/Yunichika/Bulbazak/Desperado/Maxous) was on scum, and that they wanted to ensure that the lynch was guaranteed to--if not on town--at least not be on their faction of scum. In particular, I'm thinking about the Toomai and Bulbazak wagons. Probably not for the same faction, but both having a significant chance of being FROM a faction.wasa strong lynch candidate that both teams knew was either town or opposite. So why the hell would they form a counter-wagon on JKLM? Yet despite this...they did. So it must have accomplishedsomething. Which is my point exactly. A counter-wagon doesn't make any sense as far as conventional logic goes with Dry-fit flipping town, but there must be a reason. And my proposed reason is that one or multiple of the secondary wagons were scum, and the scum wanted to ensure not only that the main (Dry-fit) wagon wasn't on them, but ALSO that whatever Dry-fit's counter-wagon would be would also not be them. Basically, that they counter-wagoned JKLM to make the fight be between two town lynches, rather than, say, a fight between Dry-fit and, oh, let's guess Bulbazak.My academy.

Except Jacob didn't. It's a bit further back in my inbox, and I'm not sure I'm allowed to directly quote it, but I can paraphrase. A PM that seemed a lot like it was from an artist rather than a mod. "You want to join mine and CityElectric's Large Normal". (With something that could have, but probably didn't, reference my other online identity, the one that's an artist.) I can, however, pull up for surez my immediate response to this:In post 710, Bulbazak wrote:Mastin starts off by faking ignorance of the game being multiball. How do I know it was fake? Two things: He was asked by the mod to play, and he mentions the game advertisement. Both stem from the same reasoning. The game advertisement had the game name in great big letters:, and I would assume the mod would tell him the game name when asking him to sign up (Heck, I have people ask questions about upcoming games before they even pre-in, there's no way the most basic of information didn't get across.).Fire and Ice
Do I mention Fire and Ice in the title? No. Because I didn't know. He asked me to play. I went there and said to sign me up. I didn't even remember I did. The first indication I had of the game beginning was receiving my role PM, seeing it said to confirm in-thread, having no link, going to the second PM which had the link, and then...bluntly saying this exact same thing. "Whoops. Totally forgot I signed up. But I'm confirming, and will get to you guys with content later."In post 653, mastin2 wrote:JacobSavage asked me to /in to his game, soyeah, doing so.
This basically directly contradicts the majority of your other points, by the way. I put myself out there. Painted a giant freakin' target on me. Directly acted in a way that was meant to be a bit antagonistic. Directly made it obvious I was town. Directly tried to provoke scumreads of mine. That's anything but not putting myself out there. Yes, I didn't expect much of me. Still don't. That I wasn't nightkilled means that I've basically failed to be a threat. But the two are entirely different things.He doesn't want anyone to have high expectations for him this game, because he doesn't want to put himself out there too much.
This is true...of my single-scum game. In multiscum? Fuck no, I'm not even going to do distancing. I'm going to townread my scumbuddies, no matter how damn scummy I think they are, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM DEAD. Distancing draws attention to opposite-scum. Bussing draws attention to town. Townreading? Doesn't. Simple stuff.His voting of him straight off the bat is distancing. He's not bussing. Mastin doesn't bus, not in the traditional sense. He's smart about it. He doesn't want anyone to draw a connection between him and Maxous, and while he's going to call Maxous scum, he doesn't intend to keep his vote on him for very much longer.
Nice narrative, but exactly that--a story fabricated. I said exactly what I meant:Finally, we end with Mastin's scumread of Aptil. Where did that come from? Well, it seems Aptil actually questioned one of Mastin's moves. Mastin immediately calls her scum.
IF Bulbazak is scum, it'd bepossiblefor aptil to be scum. Basically my exact damn words. Two qualifiers, there. TWO. That's anything but a scumread. The explicit implication here is that in any other scenario, aptil would be town. Basically?
If Bulbazak is town, aptil is town.
If Bulbazak is scum, it's possible aptil's scum. (But not definitely. Just possible.)
If Bulbazak is scum, aptil could still be town. (My current belief.)
None of these are what Bulbazak is painting my aptil reaction to be. Bluntly, he's lying; this is right there in my damn iso spelled out as clearly as can be.
Yep! Look impressive. Seems like that'd be drawing attention to myself, no? They're meant to look impressive because I've been trying to get scum to nightkill me.All in all, Mastin's posts are meant to look impressive more than anything else.
Yes, but it's a fine indicator that maybe they're coming from the same mindset as you are.Just because someone's reads match your own or they echo your thoughts back to you, that doesn't mean they're town.
Yep. Toomai's scum. Good question, very bad way of stating it.In post 714, Toomai wrote:I approve of that mastin case you have there, but why follow it with a YC vote? Yeah I know you've had it as scum for a while (and I don't exactly disagree), but it seems like an odd time to give it a vote.
In other news, hard to say for sure (need to check his scumgame in multiball), but PV's potentially town. Desp, not so much. Think I had him as a townread; that's faded. Severely.My academy.

Side-note, but I realized that itcouldbe possible for PA to be scum. She's not fire, though, as far as I can tell from quick analysis. (But note the "could". I don't think she is; it's just that my townread on the slot is now a null-read.)

Toomai is scum because his posts are not coming from a town mindset at all. He's analyzing things thinking like scum, and it's showing in his posts, showing quite badly.
NJAC is a similar read. He's not analyzing things like a town player. He's analyzing things more from the same type of perspective that Maxous had. It's difficult to describe; the best word I can come up with for it is that it's his tone, but that word seems inadequate to describe the read on him.
Desp is scum because this is not his towngame. He's not posting town stuff. He's not being the super-awesome scumhunter I know his town self to be. He's basically a non-entity this game, similar to his game in Xenogears. Basically, everything that makes him town is absent and everything that makes him scum is present. Including how he occasionally makes good posts, but is not consistently doing so.
Slandaar is a scumread for his TSO push and overall what I see as being crap-play. This scumread's not as strong as it used to be, though.
Bulbazak is a scumread because this game feels an awful lot like his scumgame in Maniacal Street, and not what his towngame is like. This is also a weaker scumread right now, but basically, the general aura around his analysis is rotten and feels hollow and empty. (This is also a point against Slandaar.) There are flashes I see which could be stubborn-asshole-arrogant-Bulb-town, but those are just flashes, not consistent, and are a trend that Bulbazak swore he was working out of his towngame--that they're here is not a reassurance, but rather, a warning.
(Speaking of Bulb, I've seen his wall but I'm choosing not to respond to it. At least, not at this time.)
Bulb/Slandaar/Desp/Toomai with an outside chance of PA are all figures of extreme interest, here. Matias died saying to analyze the Yuni wagon if she flipped town, and I think he was right to have asked this. The towniest names on there are Rach, Garmr, and TSO (approximately in that order), and even then, not amazingly so.Yunichikawowwow [9] - Matias, Bulbazak, Slandaar, Desperado, T S O, Toomai, penguin_alien, Garmr, RachMarie
This looks like scum with inside info.In post 822, Bulbazak wrote:Scum are trying to kill each other. Whichever team killed Matias was obviously looking for other scum on the Yuni wagon. This makes it likely that most of that team was off the wagon. We're likely only looking at 2 scum max on the Yuni wagon given that.
Also, looking back over Yiley's posts d2 makes it clear that Aptil is not fire scum.
This is also REALLY relevant...especially given that Matias was killed by Ice. JKLM's slot is now PA's slot, and the basis for this analysis isn't bad. (That Maxous wouldn't be on JKLM if JKLM was fire.)In post 788, Matias wrote:I'm thinking mastin or JKLM is ice if Yuni isnt, but one day at a time.
At this stage, I'm thinking that one of Slandaar/Bulb is probably town, and that PA very well could be scum, since this is looking really damn bad for her.
Could be relevant to Toomai. I need to take another look at the Toomai-Maxous interaction.In post 570, Yiley wrote:

VOTE: toomaiIn post 519, Yiley wrote:Your poor reasoning is what I'm attacking here
At this stage, I basically need to do a cross-reference on my current thoughts with my analysis so far.
I'm thinking NJAC's scum and Toomai's scum, but I haven't the slightest idea which flavor for them right now; that I need to investigate. I think that PA has a frighteningly-high chance of being Ice, since the evidence is strongly pointing that way to me. Desp is also probably scum, but I don't know which type. One of Bulb/Slandaar is town as a result (it's possible both are, but that'd require me to be wrong on a townread when I'm feeling good about basically all of them), and I lean towards it being Slandaar but I'm far from certain about it.
Basically, am at the stage where crossreferencing is necessary, since we've got a shit-ton worth of info to sift through, between the nightkilled players and the votecount info and the living players' interactions.

On the other hand...the fire scum wanted to wagon the ice-scum. Thus, Maxous's presence, and Toomai's presence, and maybe even Bulbazak's presence.

The original Yunichika wagon basically only has one name on it not on the later wagon--PV.

It's not that Toomai called TSO town (which he is), it's that he said nothing BUT that.
Look at his ISO - he is posting just enough not to be called lurking with just enough content not be fluff posting. He gives like 1 new read per post. His pushes are weak (if existent?)
It's textbook coasting scum.
- Garmr: His first post was really comfortable(tonally), no sign of scum caution or nerves to it - and was a big difference to his early play in a mini normal I was in with him recently (in which he was scum). There is a massive difference here between this game and that game.
-Slandaar: I don't feel like he would of written #18 as scum, not a strong read but eh. (since then, his play has been ok)
- ArcAngel: What I was suspecting about Arc was that she delayed starting the game because she was strategising with her buddies pre-game first (since I happened to see her post elsewhere without confirming here) but her complete lack of activity since has blown that theory out of the water.
- Desperado: I liked how he was pro-active and agressive in pushing the Yuni wagon early, as I think scum would of voted and sat back at the point.
- Aptil: Yeah, his post being weak was the reason I was meh on him.
- JKLM: I liked him early because his posts were full of aggression and conviction
A quick skim of this, though, is giving me doubts about my earlier callout.In post 404, Maxous wrote: T S O - going nullish, not explaining Dry-Fit scum is getting tiresome and little other commentary. #281 comes across as towny though

Basically, I don't give a damn at this point. The fire scum are going to join the wagon since it's lynching their opposite faction. The ice scum are going to join the wagon because they know their buddy is busted. I'm going to get lynched off of suspicion of me being ice anyway, so it doesn't make a damn difference if I'm on the wagon or off, but it does make one critical vital difference--give me just enough time to get thoughts out before the end of the day, with this new piece of analysis to go off of.My academy.

I also was concerned with the yungchicago wagon, probably 2 or 3 of the back 4 votes are scum. JKLM, PV (whose posts 39 and 96 caught my eye but not enough to label it leaning scum), maybe Yiley. Bulba looks town to me though.
However, I know that EPM basically has no hesitance to treat his scumbuddies how he chooses to. He'll bus them, he'll townread them, depending on what he feels like. So this analysis on the Yunichika wagon is likely legitimate--scum on the wagon, with him thinking/knowing it's 2-4 of the back votes.My academy.

Also relevant (he immediately hops off, and onto...JKLM, something I don't think my analysis reflected). (Why is it that both Maxous and EPM have suspiciously-similar interactions with both Bulbazak and Slandaar? >_<)In post 376, evilpacman18 wrote:Almost reflex voted Slandaar for 367 and I hardly ever have the urge to reactively vote.
Just checked his iso: Slandaar is avoiding posting anything by complaining about other peoples' posts. JKLM can wait
vote: Slandaar
They're probably scum buddies though, I could see Slandaar being the sneaky fool that RVS votes his buddy. Especially considering the "eagerness" with which he started the game.
And then 372: "someone get off now" as if someone being put to L-1 is a horrible thing, meanwhile ignoring anyone who's participated in his getting to L-1.
Slandaar's been around, Slandaar's been posting, but he hasn't a problem with the rise of this wagon until he gets the chance to pipe in and white knight: "LOOK AT WHAT A TOWN HERO I AM, I AM BEING CAUTIOUS ABOUT A LYNCH"
I'm actually willing to buy this as legitimate, making Slandaar either fire or town.In post 617, evilpacman18 wrote:In fact I'm feeling Maxous, Slandaar and JKLM fire scum team. See the relation between 91 and 94 for instance. ("clearly I was sleepy this morning" is some bullshit)My academy.

Desp is probably Ice from this alone, by the way, in addition to his overall pattern of posting. Aptil is likely not Ice-scum.In post 617, evilpacman18 wrote:As far as other scum on that early YungChicago wagon, I'm thinking Yiley. Everyone else on that wagon I'm reading null to town (Garmr, Bulbazak, PeregrineV look town, Desperado idk)
A lot of people early in the game were reading Slandaar as town apparently, idk why I got so shut down when I made the same call a bit later.
Right, I was scum reading aptil, he must be ice. Along with Yiley? Don't remember seeing anything I thought were connections between the two.
I'm not gonna re-review the whole game, just the parts I was more absent for. On to the end of D1…
This supports the idea that one of {Desp, PV} is ice-scum, and not the other. I HEAVILY lean towards it being Desp. (ItYiley, JKLM, Desperado, and PV are notable mainstays of both the Yuni and Dryfit wagons yesterday. Of the four, I'm reading the first two strongly scum, and the latter two weakly town.couldbe both, theoretically, but I don't think so.)
Not sure what to make of these, though. Sorta think it could be a Bulb connection. TSO's probably not ice-scum, but not certainly so. Garmr is likely not ice, either.Bulba, what are you seeing in Yuni? Do you think aptil and Yuni are scum buddies?
mastin might be scum… it's interesting that he seems to have forgotten he's already labeled himself conftown from that "townslip" in his first post
Also Slandaar going after TSO who actually HAS townslipped several times irks me. 536 and 538 have sooooo much of him putting words in TSO's mouth, assuming intentions that can't be rightly assumed, and strawman.
Garmr is doing the Lord's work in 581, I'm glad we see the same relationship between Maxous and JKLM. do you have an idea of teams yet? and how do you feel about Slandaar?
vote: SlandaarMy academy.

Definitely thinking a minimum of one between Desp/Bulb is Ice-scum. Thinking about it, probably (though not certainly) only one, and strongly lean towards Desp being the second.In post 744, evilpacman18 wrote:This is pretty obviously a distraction to the good wagon on JKLM slot. Slandaar of course is part of the problem but Desperado looks bad too. Bulba is just misguided because of not believing in wagon speed and timing being relevant. Looking at the VCs, Yuni can be determined town without ever reading one of her posts. -_- I'll have to rethink teams. If anybody wants to talk compromises, I'd go for aptil or even Mastin before letting obvious town get lynched
Aw, heck with it. We're going to lynch EPM anyway so I might as well put money down with my mouth.
VOTE: Desperado.My academy.

Slandaar is not Ice-scum, but could be fire-scum. Desp is likely Ice-scum. Bulb I'm not sure on. Then there's PV, who's probably town. Basically, this wagon is most likely to have at least two scum on it, maybe three, but it's difficult to pin down for sure.In post 100, ElectricSavages wrote:Yunichikawowwow [8]-Garmr, Slandaar, Desperado, Bulbazak,JKLM, PeregrineV

The Bulb wagon I maintain was likely all-town, which raises the question why nobody who's scum jumped on it.
EPM's scum in not voting, but I need to take another look at TSO (townread) and NJAC's slot (scumread) to see about them.
I also really think that Toomai's still scum, though. I need to take another look at aptil as well, despite my townread there.
We know there's a fire and an ice on JKLM. So once again, why the counter-wagon to the town-wagon? This is what I'm not getting.In post 475, ElectricSavages wrote:Dry - Fit[10]-Desperado, Matias, Yiley, mastin2, T S O, OhGodMyLife, PeregrineV, JKLM, Yunichikawowwow, aptil[LYNCH]

Random note--
I really, REALLY don't like those who're saying "the nightkilled were obvtown", when bluntly, they weren't. Yeah, the scum thought so. (As EPM confirmed.) But they thought so in part because they're scum and know that the nightkilled are not among them, and thus, only need to hunt other-faction scum. I know that multiple people have done so on these different days, and I need to check for that kind of response, given how bad it is.My academy.

The Dry-fit wagon looks suspiciously absent of scum. (Yes, I deleted my own name. Dealwithit. ) Desp, TSO, PV, and aptil are the only candidates.In post 475, ElectricSavages wrote:Dry - Fit[10]-Desperado, T S O, PeregrineV,JKLM, aptil[LYNCH]

Desp/PV both sorta seem like Ice to me anyway, but not together, with me thinking Desperado. But where the hell is the fire-scum?
Also, I really don't like the names on the JKLM wagon, given the two scum there already and the towniest name being Garmr.
I also think there has to be at least one scum (if not two) in the 1 voters. Not just by arbitrary numbers, but by general situational analysis and player standings. I've got a townread on Rach, which'd leave Slandaar/NJAC as candidates.

At this point, I'm basically coming to have five or so openings for four slots. NJAC, Slandaar, Toomai, Bulb, and Desperado, with a need to reanalyze TSO, PV, and aptil.My academy.
