I've been thinking about that newbie game. I assume pjo gambits no matter what alignment he is.-

I haven't seen his scum game. I replaced into a newbie game that he had earlier replaced out of. The first 3 pages of that game were hilarious and Pjo IMO played a significant role in tripping up one scum player who just could not let go of his play or his replacement.In post 37, Zdenek wrote:fiery, pjo, tell me about pjo's scum game, or at least point me to the ones that you are talking about.

But, if he doesn't gambit irrespective of alignment he'd be awfully easy to spot as scum. So yeah, I think he gambits no matter what his alignment.-

Pjo was so obviously town by page 2 of that game. MsM, however, just could not let go of the idea that he had initially behaved as though he were very newb and then a page later showed some depth of mafia strategy. She focused on the ruse and ignored or couldn't see the reason behind it. She moved on to other targets but kept coming back to that slot and arguing with Pjo and later his replacement. It was painfully scummy looking.In post 73, Zdenek wrote:ffery, needs to explain how pjo tripped up scum in the game she lynched because it looks like she buddying with him for an illegitimate reason at the moment.
I'd like it if mrbungle told me what game he knows pjo from.
Whimsy is actually scum, so people should vote her.
I was happy to see he signed up for this game and I'm looking forward to playing with him.-

Where I used to play it's quite rare for scum to give a townread on fellow scum, to the point where after scum flip you look closely at the player's null and scum reads. I have been really surprised at some of the fellow scum townreads I've seen from scum here. But, it's certainly not universal.In post 128, Pjovek wrote:
Except this doesn't happen, especially if you put zero effort and explanation into giving out this read.In post 127, Tierce wrote:
I don't think either of them are scum, but I've seen plenty of scum giving their scumbuddies a Townread from the get go.In post 126, Pjovek wrote:A scum-made townread can have basically two motivations: either it's a townread on a scumbuddy to tone down suspicion on him (there was no substantial suspicion on matt at that time, so this is not the case), or it's a "buddying attempt", for lack of a better word. Basically a "look at how cool and correct my reads are, scum would never be this cool and correct"
This specific situation looks more like the second.It's easier to prevent suspicion from ever arisingthan having to fight it back down later.
I almost never see mafia do this tbh.
Then again, on my homesite, mafia don't give townreads to their scumbuddies at all, unless they play REALLY baller and get strongly misread by the majority of town already.
And even then, some weak and subtle suspicion you put on them works far better for at least one of the parties involved.
Maybe mafiascum is different in that regard.
I know I was very surprised when the two scum defended each other hardcore in the newbie I played (that was after i had already replaced out), right down to the noose, right after the situation was already unsalvageable.
But I didn't think newbies were too indicative of global site meta.-

One post by whimsical, with the might-be slip. This game isn't exactly on fire with posts, but that's still pretty low involvement.
That's where my vote would go given the current state of the game.-

So 4% seems like not very much at all. I wonder if "true activity" means the battery drains faster or slower.2. Battery-Powered Deadlines. Deadlines in this game (outside Apocalypse) are measured via a meter that starts at 100% and counts down each real-time day by a varying amount. The amount is based on true activity. If the meter reaches 0%, the Day immediately ends.-

Maybe it makes no difference in regard to Eggplant himself, but it is a glorious game of chicken in regard to the people on the wagon itself.

I find mrbungle's paranoia about me refreshing and it's part of the reason why I think he's town. This is the first game we've played from the start, and I think if he'd had only a few posts to read instead of dozens in the dragonballz micro game he'd have had similar misgivings.In post 216, Zdenek wrote:Tierce, how do this games mechanics affect your read on Whimsy and the wagon on her?
pjo, why'd you think to vote Sword of Omens when you did?
About Ffery: she said "I assume pjo gambits no matter what alignment he is." When I asked her about it, she replied with "I was asking mrbungles because they've played together elsewhere." There was no question mark in her original post - this has been bothering me for a while, but I'm worried that it's just me being pedantic. I agree with Matt that this comment: "But, if he doesn't gambit irrespective of alignment he'd be awfully easy to spot as scum. So yeah, I think he gambits no matter what his alignment" looks baseless, since she was (apparently) asking mrbungles about pjo's scum play. It could simply just be that he's easy to spot as scum.
It obvious that ffrey was buddying with pjo, and I don't understand her prob-town read on mrbungles.
So there are somethings that I don't like here. I still don't think that she's as bad as Whimsical Eggplant or mrbungles.
pjo I can't explain, really. Call it gut. I had a strong town read on his slot in the newbie game I linked to when I did my catch-up read after replacing in at 15 pages of day 1. I've wondered if I just read that style of play as town by default. But, until I find I'm wrong, I'll trust my gut.
I'm not shy about giving out town reads. I'm not shy about retracting them, either, but don't usually need to.-

I thought your theory is that I am scum and buddying pjovik up.In post 238, Zdenek wrote:Why pjovek is scum:
1. Anti-town proposal of the mass universe claim.
2. Vote on Sword of Omens looks more like trying to look like he's doing something than actually doing something.
3. He made up a false reason to be suspicious of Sword - that Sword promised to continue lurking. When I called him out on it he kept pushing it.
4. When I questioned him about what he thought of policy lynching in this game rather than just answering he attempts to cast suspicion on to me for trying to instill fear and paranoia about the wagon. Now he's asking me why I chose to appeal to emotion, which never happened, and he's refusing to point out what he's talking about, and deciding to accuse me of not reading.-

Good scum reads usually take time for me to develop unless someone I have a lot of meta on draws a scum role.
I feel like my bandwagon is probably mostly town-driven atm.-

Syr looks town to me. Of his town reads, I feel like I have enough read of my own to agree that you are town and I'm trusting that he can townread the others.In post 312, Tierce wrote:Let's start with the easy part: explain your Townreads.
Based on the one completed game that mrbungles and I have played, I have him leaning town. He replaced late into day 1 and had 100+ posts of mine to evaluate. Even so, iirc he came up with a weak town read. In this game, with a handful of posts to evaluate, I am not at all surprised that he was reading me as scum.
Pjovik is mostly gut, but I feel pretty good about him being town.
Matt5 is null. He and I are in two ongoing games, but since I'm part of a hydra in both of them I doubt I made much of an impression. I thought at first that his vote on me was gambit, but I've changed my mind. I think he'd seriously like to see me lynched, whatever his alignment.-

So, that reads list. I don't usually give detailed reads at this point in a game, and I'm sorely tempted to tell you to piss up a tree, Tierce. But, in the interest of helping you and others get a sense of my game I'm cooperating. Though, I am pretty sure that a quick scan through the completed town and scum games listed on my wiki page would be perhaps shed a little light. I'll caution, though, that my MS game-face is still evolving based on how things go game-by-game. Play as a hydra has also had an impact. I tend to be the quieter partner. I'm used to drawing early day 1 suspicions for my play here. I've toned down the aggressiveness some since my earliest town games, but I'm not sure that aggressive play was what set teeth on edge initially, anyway.
Syr's one of the lynchpins in my reads atm. I've played several games with him, though all have been town games, and I've seen a fairly wide range of town-Syr behaviors in the various games. From meta, I know that his scum game is not easy to spot, and it's possible I'm missing it here, but I kinda doubt it. For now I'm considering him town. Nacho seems to be influencing his game, and I think I am seeing some of that influence in his play this time - specifically the tempo of his dance with Tammy and his conclusion that she's town. Based on my own generic thumbnails I haven't seen anything to counter the Tammy read. In fact, her relaxed playfulness and scattershot posting fits one town thumbnail pretty well.
So, to his reads list:
I accepted Tierce and Enomis based on not seeing anything particularly scummy looking in their posts at the time, but have since firmed up my own thoughtsIn post 99, Syryana wrote:

Tierce is pushing people for explanations - well, some people. She hasn't pushed me for anything but reads. Her concern about the whimsical eggplant bandwagon looks townish-MS since there's an expectation that if a person doesn't come back and answer questions they will be replaced. MS-acclimated scum on the other hand might be more interested in pushing that bandwagon through.
Enomis' quick jump on Whimsical's potential slip looks either hyper-vigilant town or possibly (lower likelihood imo) scum who has had similar thoughts or conversations. But, the concern when this bandwagon took off, the check on other postings and pointing up the possibility of a quick mobile catch-up looks like a town player worried about a bandwagon suddenly picking up an unusual amount of steam, and trying to apply brakes.
So, my counter-to-the-prevailing-winds reads of mrbungle and pjovik.
They both play on a site where game days are short - 48 hours, I think, and although majority lynch is often the format, from what I've seen reaching 50% + 1 does not end the game day. Players can run the bandwagon beyond that threshold and back down.
I learned mafia on sites with 12-24 hour game days and plurality lynch. At MS, due to still not quite getting all the nuances of majority lynch ending the day, I tend to be either way overcautious about bandwagons or sometimes leap with alarming speed on a fast moving wagon. If you want examples of games where I've done one or the other, let me know and I'll provide links. Overall, I'm tending toward over-cautious at MS, but want to add back some assertiveness because I believe I'm more effective that way.
Anyway, that's a bit of a digression but it's important because it's why I am pretty good at reading players from similar backgrounds. But, I have some concern that I default to thinking the background-influenced style is town.
The MS norm of inactive players being eventually replaced is not a universal thing. pjovik plays where that assumption is not valid. IMO, pjovik's attitude toward the whimsical eggplant wagon is shaped by his mafia background, and I'm reading it as town in this context. I also am reading his gambiting as town. In the newbie game I linked and mentioned earlier he gambited with some posts that look anti-town on the face of it, quickly rounded on the people who reacted, and had a dramatic effect, ending what is fondly known as rvs in these parts.
I think his play in this game had similar effect.
re bungles, as I've said, the paranoia doesn't surprise me since this is our first time starting a game together, though I guess it does disappoint me a little. I've had the impression that I'm an easy read for him and others who who play the game offsite, which has been kinda refreshing. His low participation would be worrying me, but when I let him know about this game in sign-ups he mentioned that he would not be around much if the game started up soon. And it did start up soon.-

Could you restate your point? It seems to have something to do with minimizing spam. Does it have to do with pjovik's stated intent not to post for a day?In post 325, Zachrulez wrote:

I guess I'm still confused about the spamming complaint in the first place. Was it because he made a series of posts in a row? He's not the only person to do that.In post 328, Zachrulez wrote:Read 286 in response to 285.
The early exchange between Tammy and Syr was actually more thread-filling, though I realize it firmed up reads for those two.-

I'm guessing he's never played a game with buldermar. XD
I'm sensitive to the complaint because my style of interaction/townhunting/scumhunting is partially analysis of posts but also highly dependent on conversational mode in the game thread, which annoys the fuck out of some players. I try to be sensitive to the concerns.-

Him. I have a pretty detailed baseline at this point after playing 3 completed games...maybe more, I could be forgetting a game or two, and reading a few games on meta dives. We've also discussed a lot of mafia theory and approach while planning to play some games as a hydra. I am not absolutely certain I'd spot his scum game. But, I feel like this game so far is so well within the space of that baseline that I'm ok calling him town for now.In post 347, Katsuki wrote:

What about this game makes him/her/it town?
I'm not shy about changing my reads on people. If I change my mind, you'll know.-

I don't like this logic, you know it sucks and you know I wouldn't go for an easy vote like that
Ffery didn't build steam and it was a scare tactic based on a fairly reasonable scummy post from ffery
Since I'm at L-1 I'm going to claim now. I'm a VT, my name is Rosalina, from Mario-

Hey I just want to point out that we had a slow-ass posting day and our battery drained further than any other day so far.
So stfu about spam.
Re Matt, what's the odds that he's trying to save a powerful scum role with this performance?-
