This is a good idea in the middle of the game. In the beginning we need good town voices in order to help lynch scum. I don't like this as we have no idea if/when that strong town will come back or if that strong town read is actually town.In post 155, Grovyle wrote:Also been reading more of hte setup.
So basically anyone we lynch goes to jail and they won't flip till no one can be released.
I wonder if jail might be a good place to put strong town so as to protect them?
Or if they aren't protected in jail then that won't matter

For all we know they could be completely separate. In Shadowrun lore prison was really bad for a runner and they sure as hell couldn't communicate.-

Talk about this one. Not the past. This is all gambler's fallacy and useless to read you.In post 180, Reasonably Rational wrote:

-Cerb
I have no read on Jaereed.
I just think varsoon likes to give all the treats to scum in beginning.
~Fire
There have been 3 games so far with this mechanic.
In the first game, Saga Frontier the D1 leader was town, and the power they gained by being the leader was limited. They could not select a group to go with them, and they basically just gained the benefits from one adventure, in addition to a single ability, and the role with said starting role had no abilities to start.
In Space Dandy there were 3 initial party members, and the leader/captain was scum. Mechanically, being leader D1 gave scum one free roleblock, one extra vote, and the ability to have moved three slots to the other game/potentially increased the chance of their team retaining control, AND (and this is most critical) a slot on their team who captaincy would always default back to in the event that they killed the captain-elect+had killed all intervening captains. This was a fairly major mechanical advantage, allowing scum to guarantee endgame scenarios where they had control of the ship.
In Bloodborne, scum were the initial leader, AND they had full control over the membership of said party. This was easily the most power the position offered to the scum team, allowing them the ability to have potentially put the game into a quicklynching situation on D3 In a 20+ player game, had they aimed to maximize power.
So, with all that said..the likelihood of scum JaeReed based on mod meta, is purely going to be based on the mechanical interactions within this game. We must also account for the fact that Titus also worked on this game, so it won't be solely Varsoon's influence showing here.
Basically, your meta argument is crap, we don't have enough information.

@cowboy: I fucking wish. I wanted infiltrator to be obvscum role name that I could argue was too obviously scummy to be scum. :p-

Two distinct things you gotta know about varsoon games.
Varsoon makes sme weird mechanics, and if this is anything like bloodborne, the original party leader is scum. ALWAYS!
That means jaereed must be lynched because of game mechanics, ALWAYS
No ifs ands or butts.
MOD META THIS GAME TO DEATH!!!

Plus his meta is inaccurate too. The initial leader was town in Saga, like others have noted.

I would say run two missions. Reason being is we only have a limited window to do two missions. And it we can get a better feel about certain groups of people. However it can be risky if we fail it. I am okay either way but I think we take advantage.In post 246, JaeReed wrote:@AllIn post 235, JaeReed wrote:Anyway, do we want to run two adventures or do we want to play this a little more cautiously N1? I read a bit of Bloodborne's PTs when they were released and saw that the runs tended to put some people in the party at a disadvantage for the next day. I'd rather go with what majority wants here.-

This post is horrible.In post 281, Space Cowboy wrote:@Abr
For the record, nope. I don't think I have found anyone difficult to deal with and I have an innate abbility of not getting offended easily by most stuff. You are headstrong and trust your reads more than whatever others say. Tbh I think that is s good trait for this game.
Only twice I have been angered by playing mafia. Once in warcraft mafia when I managed to slither away from just having flavour claimed scum only to be killed by the vig for thinking I am sk.
And second when almost killed us in bloodborn. I was bloody furious when I saw it.
@Vedith I am pretty sure it was just Japanese. horror. Having spent two days reading jinjo ito. I would rate it mild :p
P.edit
Fire how can you say that D: I am in the game. Of course it will be. ^_^
Not only does this say "Hey you don't know me" (paraphrase) and contains no useful reads it is just trying to correct meta and not solve the game. Between that and sheeping and ugh. Rope needed.

Yes I read the entire thing. It was what lead me to think your posts were useless. It was a lot of words just to say "Don't fucking meta read" and didn't give reads. Hence useless.In post 297, Cerberus v666 wrote:Mathblade: all that noise was in response to FB's assertion that he could use mod meta to determine alignments at this point, and if you actually read the post(you did, right?) you should have noted that at the end I told him that the point of that whole wall of text was to demonstrate that we didn't have enough information for his hypothesis to be of much use as an argument regarding someone's alignment.
Also, generally speaking, I'm really not concerned with helping people read me. I don't care how you read me, I just care that when I find scum and prove that x must be scum for y reasons, the town falls in line.
(DS, I believe *this* particular brand of arrogance here is what some people were talking about when they were talking about me being an ass or something. You defended me, but, well, I AM sort of an asshole...but I'm not a jerk. )
Anyways, you are right in your assertion that all my posts so far have been pretty useless in terms of, well, figuring anything alignment related out. I'm sure it will all become clear shortly though.
Jaereed: I'm very precise in the verbiage used in my posts(when I'm at a computer, at least). I *specifically* used the words "You can certainly try" because I knew I was just about to point out why any attempt to "shove it down" my throat would be doomed to failure. I originally had the post saying "Sure, but..", and chose to change it to "You can certainly try" specifically to make it clear that I didn't agree with the conclusion that if JaeReed was scum, it meant Grovyle's logic was sound. Also, I DO clearly entertain the idea of you being scum, I just refuse to entertain the idea that groyvle's logic is a good reason to think you are.
Point being, don't expect to actually be able to determine anything alignment related from me by virtue of semantics, as either alignment I'm generally very careful about the exact words I use.
-Cerb
pedit: Oh. JaeReed apparently noticed that his observation wasn't correct.
Do you have any "X then Y" or "X then Z" reads? I see you may be entertaining an idea of something but do you have a read?-

This is weird...I don't like this vote from Worldzmine. You made a point of showing how that push wasn't scum oriented but Worldz votes Grovyle without touching/interacting with your post. It's probably this that makes Grovyle likely town.In post 366, WorldzMine wrote:In post 295, Grovyle wrote:Like exact word for words what said as scum.

This feels like a bit of a suckup and a lot of their mechanics posts are bad.In post 368, karnos wrote:His votetheir vote
Sorry. Trying to make it a point to get pronouns correct.
For the missions IMHO we should be doing missions that we think have town AND a hard to find skill set. A big rule of Shadowrun games is always bring a friend and never go it alone. So I would take those mission names and guess what could be on them...Like demolitions probably need good people with demolitions...Murder probably needs good combat and go from there. List the people based on the chart who seem to match those and put the towniest of those even if they have a number or two lower.
Then combine that with Worldzmine's soft defense of Karnos doing that is all kinds of fugly.
Also PeregrineV's lurkiness is a problem. They lurk a fuck ton as scum. This needs lots of poking. Same with KilingonCelt. Lots of lurkiness. Hell the MOD has more posts than people. This game feels lurktastic yet there is a lot of posting but from the same few voices.
I need more poking sticks and rope.-

Because 1) I have a light town read on you
2) I taught Karnos a few things about being scum and he is doing those things.
3) The question could be asked to anyone.
4) When the entire game is talking mechanics and I ask many times to not do that and it still does. So I decided the best way to deal with that was to just take the 5 minutes to throw it in excel and copy paste than argue longer after I got back.
Still reading.-

This one here is a very good example of it. Namely trying to be loud and completely wrong but be so damn adamant about being wrong that no one would believe you actually do that as town. It fooled a lot of people til I scum claim hammered and then Saru recruited Karnos instead of conf!town it worked that well.In post 388, karnos wrote:
Sure, if you can 100% accurately detect scum on day 1 with zero false positives.In post 385, Reasonably Rational wrote: Pedit: Karnos, there are more town than scum. It is almost certain that an all town composition can be created to deal with ANY mission in this game. Prioritizing certain success over denying scum power is very dumb.
OTOH, if you can do that who gives a shit about missions? Just lynch all the scum and win, easy game is easy.
In reality, where we don't have magical scum detection on day 1, the alternative is to only send the most confirmed town, of which there might only be 2-4 players depending on who you ask. I don't think it's far fetched to suggest that those few characters might not be perfectly optimized for every mission.

It is AI here. However your responses after my push likely make you town. As town when you lurk and post you do try to sneak in periods when people are online. As scum it is a lot less. And as town you inexplicably scumread me a lot. I still remember the USMafia games maaaaan.In post 418, Klingoncelt wrote:In post 403, MathBlade wrote:

It doesn't matter what your opinion is: what matters is mine. I absolutely do not agree with you on it. To me a low content poster is a lurker. There is a definition on the wiki called active lurking that sums up thoughts nicely. It is the amount of content that is provided to where I define a lurker.In post 626, Klingoncelt wrote:
Yes, I'm always a low-content player.In post 622, Reasonably Rational wrote:

You are a low content player. Always.
You are rarely around, and you do not post very much when you are around. Always.
These are not necessarily bad things, but they are things lurkers do. Just because you are not attempting to lurk, it does not mean that your play isn't analogous to that of lurkers.
Why are you so offended by someone choosing to use a shorthand for describing your play style?
-Cerb
Deal.
It's better that I keep my low content limited to a few sentences in a few posts as opposed to wallposts of fluff, no?
But that's not what MathBlade said.
She said I lurk. Lurk means hang around and not do anything.
I don't do that.
I'll often log into a game and then have a shit-ton of meatworld things to do, so it takes me hours to go through a few pages.
But that's not lurking.
Sometimes I can come in, read through, make my post(s) and split.
That's not lurking.
I don't lurk. I don't have time to lurk.
Therefore until you do stuff like you are now, I will always consider you a lurker. To quote you: "Deal."
The question becomes why does how I perceive you bother you so much?-

Why are you assuming scum are data driven? And furthermore why mention the lower stats people at all? It is like you are assuming scum would do things like you. Reminds me of what got told to me a lot in the Yuri game and what I am working on fixing. Furthermore I find it weird you are okay with mechanics decisions yet post scum are trying to do data calculations to find PRs. If they were doing such a thing mechanics spec helps them which is why I tried to keep the game focused on Mafia rather than setup spec because scum can't hide there.In post 632, Reasonably Rational wrote:
I didn't imply anything. I noted the data ( as I'm sure *someone* on the scum team was smart enough to do already) and shared the numbers, very deliberately avoiding mentioning the obvious possibility that your role has powers to make up for the low stats.In post 631, Detective Moonlight wrote:@RR there are like 5 posts in the matrix pt. So far i nullread the ppl in there
But i kinda dislike the way you implied that we are most likely a good PR because of low stats. If you want just openly ask scum to kill us?
Im not going to say if we have a lot of power or not for obvious reasons, but did it ever cross your mind that we have low stats because we have rasther rare stats? Maybe the combination of our stats is needed often? There are so many possibilities, why point out that single one that is not good for us?
It was Space Cowboy who came along and actually pointed out that possibility while ignoring all others (such as the fact that your role may have some unique utility on missions, or some other effect that makes up for the low stats).
Why did you believe I was the one who noted that? Do you still dislike that it was mentioned, regardless of who actually brought it up?

Horrible post.In post 639, Detective Moonlight wrote:@RR I think that its a bad comment to make, as either alignment. But its also not nonsensical. If it comes from scum it could be a try to buddy, if it comes from town its just baiting scum to the players he mentioned. Both are wrong and should be questioned.
So i would have pointed it out, regardless of who said it. And yes, if it really were you who said that it was more worrying, since im townreading you while i have no clue about cowboy.
Also i believe 21 pages with content is very poor for a 17 player game. I made a catch up post and only koggz and D&D mentioned some part of it. Where is the discussion? Ask away, attack, whatever?
-S
As I posted earlier I was at work. Not even waiting 24 hours before going "hey where's the replies?" is bad. Furthermore if you think something is a horrible comment as either alignment what makes you town read them?
Lastly in your catchup post you said "Let me try to start a wagon...." And the person you try to wagon isn't in your scumreads list and you say Cowboy's posts are scummy as fuck.
Karnos, Space Cowboy, DM all aligned?-

I'll just put my thoughts here
RR - at the time of your comment that said "I only make early pushes when there's massive contradictions but no one is talking" there were nearly 20 pages. How is that "no one talking"?
I didn't mind Grovyle's Koggz's vote but Space Cowboy following them on it was really awful.
Koggz is a town lean for me
Also lean town on PV

So yes, that is no one talking.

Math wonder why koggz likes setup spec but then is selective about where they like it being used. Math wonders why Koggz is not responding to more players. This worries Math.In post 629, Koggz wrote:

2. Yeah yeah yeah, you've beat the dead horse over and over that you don't like my mechanics/setup spec posts. But that's what I do. If you don't like it, I'd suggest you get over it, because that's how I play the game. To me, it's a number game, and by looking at the numbers, I can beat it.
But of course I probably sound like some condescending jerk who thinks that they are above everyone else. So what do I know?

koggz have zero problem with mechanics/setup speculation
Math is concerned that maybe Cowboy is town lynchbait then Koggz is scum.
Any particular reason for the third person talk Koggz? Would Koggz prefer a specific pronoun?-

From that post -- I noted the data ( as I'm sure *someone* on the scum team was smart enough to do already
Yes you said that scum were doing calculations.
And scum don't have to find town. So why the hell else would they do calculations?
Thirdly why the hell do you put me as scum as a townread of yours.
You said and I quote "if after this game I go to the scum PT and see you didn't think to do this".
Guess what genius I am not in the scum PT and trying to suggest that is all kinds of bad.
Mafia is a game of reading people. I use numbers to supplement but not make my case. Posting certain things only hurts people regardless of how easy it is to do. I could use my math degree and post a shit ton of things and write a program to do a lot of things. however I find the more numbers talk the less engaged people can be.
VOTE: Reasonably Rational
Pedit: KlingonCelt as they said have many different things to do in meat world at times. I asked again specifically to see if a certain response comes up. But now that you mentioned ignoring it is invalid. *sigh*-

Never said you thought that post was AI. I asked why you townread them. They have a bad post and you posted as such and I wanted your updated read on them.
Missed Grovyle in the list in my read sorry. And IMHO it is because of how Fire posted a derpy suggestion in here and reacted similar to the Yuri game I townread them. It warrants a townread because Firebringer.
What you post is your actions? Not quite sure the distinction you are making but I find it weird after I vote RR you immediately want me to switch gears to Cowboy.
I think something is off there or my alignment theory. What do you think of RR?
I have waaaaaaaaaaay too many scumreads. *Yanks hair on head*
I will work on the Cowboy case but RR I think needs rope more.-

In post 617, Space Cowboy wrote:Umm, aside from Math and Grovyle, all of those are generally universally townread...
I don't see how that readlist could catapult him to town.
Which makes me suspicious...
It is a lot of little posts like this. Where he digs at other players stances but yet doesn't seem to have any stances of their own.
They made a post about "I am so scummy but don't lynch me please"
And Shiro's sig while in Mass Effect Mafia was about being so obviously scum but yet no one wanted to lynch them.
Hell that game I pointed out he was scum (wrong faction but still....)
Space Cowboy looks like they are deflecting to try to stay alive that much I agree on and it is a matter of if it is town or scum survivalism. Right now I think scum but RR needs rope for their bad posting a bit ago.-

I point out all the scummy shit your slot does. You say my points are invalid because of Shiro not posting. How the hell would I know that when you can't be fucking bothered to sign your posts.
Furthermore the survivalism and not posting reads is true regardless of which head it is. The fact that you deflect me instead of scumhunting is crap. Do you have a scumhunting bone in your body? You complete gloss over the fact that you aren't even trying.
@RR: it is about where that conclusion goes. People just don't note "Oh a 2 has a curve at the top and a flat base." No. They make conclusions off of it. If scum are stupid so be it but I am not going to make life easier on them. For me it is about reads and quite frankly that post rubbed me all kinds of wrong. The only game I have been with you is ongoing so I can't really speak to much of your meta argument but that last post does explain why it is not a slip while actually trying to figure out where I came from on it.
And no. You don't explicitly state "X is a townread." It is how you carry yourself e.g. In the interaction with KlingonCelt earlier. Most people I have found here don't do that and it pisses me off. I always try to be as transparent as possible which is why anytime any where you can ask me for my read on a player. Like you pushed JaeReed to list them in a post I try to look for what a person believes when they post.
However they one thing I definitely did not do is put words in your mouth. I am extremely literal. Anyone who knows me knows I am Titus's sibling and that as much as I hate to admit it we share common traits. Like reading literally and thinking strategically.
Again I will restate what I said to KlingonCelt in a new way. Intent doesn't matter. What matters is how that message is received. And let me tell you. Message fucking received that you use lots of sarcastic humor and that wasn't a slip. Message fucking received.

Because Koggz participate in setup spec in a small way and Koggz says they have no problem with it. Ergo Koggz likes setup spec. Koggz doesn't have to say certain words to leave an impression.In post 464, Koggz wrote:In post 443, Reasonably Rational wrote:Everyone, thoughts on likelihood of scum within those separate groupings?

koggz think this approach is flawedIn post 444, Space Cowboy wrote:I'd say it's safe to assume there's a scum in both groups.
unless alignment not chosen randomly
@KlingonCelt -- Neither is yours. In this case it is my perception of you and I am that arbiter. Right now you are not lurking. Before you were.
And I do not expect that no. I wanted to see how you responded to that question because IMHO you respond to pressure as town and scum as different alignments.-

Math thinks Koggz likes setup spec because of how they responded not because they did.
It is not a leap. If Math says they have zero problems with cheese and then is seen eating cheese, it is therefore a logical conclusion math likes cheese. Similarly you did the same. The last question Math does not follow.-

@Koggz Math cannot show what Math did not say. Math merely stated their perceptions. Koggz has answered all questions. Again math did not imply you didn't. Math does not understand your concern.
@JaeReed Post restrictions are fun. I love doing fun things! Hell I feel honored that you would consider me. The entire point of the game is to have fun so if people have fun then I do too. Tell me more please! I am so glad Titus and Varsoon may have put in post restriction things!!-

Lynched players wind up in prison, rather than killed outright. A maximum of two players may return from the game after being imprisoned. Lynched players do not flip until no one can be released from prison anymore. There may or may not be mechanics that allow people to communicate with those in prison. When no one can escape or be released from prison anymore, all players in prison will flip and will die. All flips are confirmed accurate (no actresses/tricksters, death millers, godfathers, etc).
^^ Lynched players do not flip WorldzMine-

Which makes me suspicious...
koggz not like this postIn post 618, Space Cowboy wrote:Thank you sir numbers. Interesting the spread of numbers, but that was probably dangerous to do, as it's a safe assumption that the low stats roles make up for their stats in other abilities... So, if you've got a protective role, DM, Mcmenno, and Koggz are probably good ideas for a target, statisticswise. However, that's to say nothing about your reads on them, which should always be paramount. But if you townread them, and you've got a protective role, then they're likely a good choice.
Koggz says they don't like Cowboy's post that was nothing but mechanics. So why does Koggz think it is bad for Cowboy to do yet has zero problems with it?
Math is phone posting getting to other quote from Koggz in a second.-
