Huh?
If you are saying that he was derailing a wagon on his scumbuddy, that implies you think Xegarus (no votes) and Golden Mean (3 votes) are both scum. Why vote for the one with no votes instead of the one who already has a wagon on him already?-

The only random vote in RVS is the first one. Everyone else then reacts to that vote and makes a decision with some (albeit very small) amount of knowledge. You reacted to that first vote by deciding to not vote, then voted on someone who didn't jump on a quick wagon, then went on the attack.
That being said, you called two people scum and voted for the lesser wagon. Are you now saying that Golden is not actually scum?

Going hostile so soon? Tsk tsk. Surely you aren't trying to hide a tell so soon by overcompensating with attacks.-

Considering every game he has been in is a freaking novel, I'm going to need you to link the games you based this read on or I'm going to classify it as hearsay and unproven.
@Revenus - Alarm bells are ringing, my friend. You have now gone from calling two people scum, to only the person you are voting is scum, to now no one is scum, all under the dual reasoning of "RVS" and "sarcasm". Interlaced in your posts is attacks, insults, and aggression. You are painting a picture of a player who is clearly very scared.-

Wagons are always good.
In post 50, Hume wrote:There are elements of this I agree with and elements I disagree with. I mean, the first vote, if you look at it, wasn't actually random.
First let me say that while your playstyle is excellent for seeing the "big picture" and being able to trace the stories that players are telling, I would suggest cutting up your walls into two or three separate posts. You play what I like to call "The Lawyer" playstyle, long wordy posts that contain analysis. While a very powerful playstyle, it would be more effective if your thoughts were broken up into bite sized pieces. Just a suggestion.
At any rate, Revenus is playing scared and overcompensating for his concerns with attacks and insults. Here is the story he is telling:
> Posts joke instead of vote in first post. Classic scared entrance. Knows that he should post, but doesn't want to make a splash so makes an awkward joke while waiting to see what the other more confident players are doing. This decision was neither random nor can be written off as "some players don't like placing RVS votes" because he places what he calls an RVS vote in his very next post.
> Votes the anti-wagon voter. This is a very safe play. Instead of being vote four (the bolder and more risky move) on the current wagon, he attacks the player who decides to not jump on the wagon. This is a very defensible position, and as such very safe. This is a theme that I have seen very often.*
> Immediately starts retreating further and further as the heat on him builds. In order to cover his retreat, he drops insults and attacks to cover the fact that he is scared.
It is very likely he is scum, with a small chance that he is a survivalist/newbie townie. Knowing that there is considerable meta on him, it is safe to assume he knows how to play town (and thus not a newbie) and therefore simply does not have a strong scum play.
*Further explanation to what I am talking about.
Player A,B, and C start an RVS wagon.
Player D votes either Player B or C for "weak reasoning to jump on the wagon".
Player E votes player D for "stepping in front of the wagon." <---- this is very easy for Player E to defend and rationalize, and thus is very, very safe.
Revenus is Player E, and is usually a scum slot. Sometimes is a newbie/survivalist townie.-

@Revenus - It would change my reads if you said it was a joke up front. But first you called it sarcastic, then RVS, then finally a joke. You can't Swiss Army Knife the reasoning behind your actions to suit the environment of the game and expect people to believe you.
You are now expressing classic signs of taking cues from the field in an attempt to stay alive. Called out on being an asshole? Now you are being much more civil. Called out for still having a vote on someone you declared was RVS? You switch your vote to a "real read". You are being reactionary.
---
I'm going to take some time and review some ISOs of other people, will post thoughts when finished. This is mostly for my benefit, once a game approaches 100 posts the game starts to blur. My next post will be a sort of a bookmark/summary.-

RVS Review:
- Several players yet to respond. Few others have only one or two posts. Game is operating at 3/4 capacity IMO.
- Early quick wagon on Golden and subsequent fallout has sparked conversation. Xegarus attacked the wagon, Revenus attacked Xegarus. Golden has yet to post or offer thoughts, potentially is hiding.
- Jason first to drop vote on Revenus, has continued to push the wagon.
- Fake dayvig by Josh. Revenus reaction is "If that was a serious dayvig you're probably scum dayvig." and "You know what else you should try doing? Not daykilling townies, kthx." This does not hit me as a town reaction.
- Navarre entrance was awkward. Seems like he either didn't read the thread and just wanted to post or had read the thread and decided to insert his entry post as a joke in an attempt to stay outside of the storm. Either way, he is a suspect.
- #49 Xegarus asks a question which looks like he is trying to stay out of the fray. Actually all of his 5 posts have been extremely passive, he is definitely trying to fly below the radar.
- #50 Hume wall, defends Revenus, attacks evilpacman18 for his admittedly forced meta read on Rev. evil probably needs to receive pressure at some point in this game to see how he reacts.
- couple of players fellatio Hume for his wall. Those in the party are: Rev, Jacob, in that order.
- Hiraki #60 is almost impossible to follow. Would like a TL;DR of what he was trying to say, but from what I can tell (based on the vote and overuse of the word 'anal'), it was an attack on Rev using meta and ingame quotes.
- Jason wall (#63). An attack on the Hume wall, clearly an attempt to undermine the post with respect to its defense on Rev. Attacks Jacob for liking the Hume wall.
- WT prods Rev for why his vote is still on Xeg, Rev next vote is a vote change.
- #70 Rev posts the first real defense of himself, a few points of props go to him for actually owning up and he continues to post. If I was a betting man I would have expected him to significantly slow his posting. Don't know what it means, he is a bit of a chatter box, so its a NULL tell overall.
- Game continues to debate the merit of the fake daykill of Rev, not quite sure what to make of it.-

Flawed; if being an asshole is only going to get me lynched, that's bad play.
And as for the vote thing; that's silly, if you notice, my first post after the mod basically confirmed I wasn't dayvigged was to vote someone; this wasn't in response to WTSnack's post.
As for the RVS thing; Sarcasm/joking in this context is the same thing, because it was a sarcastic joke. Look at the post again please.
- I said you went from being an asshole to being civil because the field (including me) yelled at you for being an asshole. In other words, you are changing your playstyle and tone to appease the masses, which is very very suspect.
- I do see your point on the timing of the change of vote, that admittedly does check out. However I'd like for you to explain how a fake dayvig kill was a fish for a PR, as opposed to a fish for an exasperated scum reaction? You said you were keeping your RVS vote because you didn't have any scum suspects, so your vote on Josh seems a bit forced, as in you forced a scum read to have an excuse move your vote to something more concrete in response to WT.
- So now its a sarcastic joke?-

What exactly was the point of this post?
Don't you think others can read the thread and form their own conclusions? Or was this an attempt to provide information instead of analysis.
Going to guess reading the thread is too hard to ask of some people. As I said, it was a summary/bookmark, mostly for my benefit. I made it public so if anyone has thoughts on what I posted I can take that into consideration. At any rate, they are so I can look back to it when the game progresses and see what the nature of the game was at that point in time. I'll be making them periodically, with your permission of course.-

Please tell me you are drunk. Because that would explain why you are defending a player who has literally posted nothing of substance. In fact there is literally nothing he has posted that can be manipulated into a potential read.-

Hiraki - your town cred went out the window a long time ago, and I've already explained why Revenus is scum, you should be thanking me for being willing to kill one of your enemies. So your next post will be thanking me.
Revenus - Town is notorious for being limp-wristed when it comes time to hammer, so that is why I have to do it. You really think any of these ...men?... have the stones to hammer? Good god if people like me didn't exist scum would win by simply running out the deadline every game.-

@ AJ - The wagon and votes that was parked on your slot served its purpose. Glad to see that when the empty shell of your slot finally came alive it would bother it so much.
You spent most of your post talking about how bad the play was by Rev but then at the last minute you talk yourself into voting Hiraki. Not that I wouldn't hammer Hiraki without question, the guy is without a doubt scum, but it doesn't look good for you.-

@EPM - The only thing I read from 264 to 266 was a heavy chainsaw/character assassination of a player who was itching to hammer the same player you quoted and said "just wanted to say this was a good post". The fact that you quoted 198 in the middle of your attack on me makes me link you to Hiraki, as it was a certifiable soft defense.
@Revenus - Your ISOs by themselves aren't bad, the double vote in 252 seems so forced that you are desperately attempting to showcase yourself as someone who is actively scumhunting and a townie. In other words, it appears to be all an act.
I've also noticed that there is always dual wagons going side-by-side, first it was Revenus/Hiraki, now its EPM/Jacob. With two scum teams, this makes sense.
As far as why I waited for Hiraki to claim, it was cause my intent was posted less than 20 mins after he refused to claim so I figured he was still online. Plus I sensed something weird about a scum refusing to claim when he was well aware that I was willing to hammer, which is awfully gutsy for a scum. I made a gut call on not quick hammering, and whatever the case his alignment will be obvious soon enough.-

Have any of you people actually played mafia before?
COMPETING WAGONS IS NORMAL FOR ONE SCUM TEAM AS WELL.
True, but usually I see one wagon going strong, then unless it leads to lynch it starts to peter out, and a new one pops up and takes over. So for a while there are two wagons but they are moving in opposite directions.
In this game two wagons are going strong at the same time at all times. Both going in the same direction. Two wagons are currently petering out, two are getting stronger.-

Yeah they are annoying, but people still like postin' them. Do what I do, scan for the important information and filter out the blowhard soapbox grandstanding nonsense. Like this is how I read Viomi's wall (which wasn't a bad read to be fair):
>Hikari is scum
>she thinks a few players are dumb
>a few players know somewhat what they are doing
Here is how I read Hikari walls:
>he's angry
See, it isn't that hard.
@Revenus - your obsession to where my vote is placed is both amusing and disturbing.
@Everyone - Meta is usually worthless, open to extremely liberal interpretation that is both easy to manipulate and misrepresent. Like what evilpacman18 has been trying to do all game (he was the one who claimed Revenus was obvscum based on meta in the first few pages of the game).
Speaking of evilpacman18, he has seriously gone all-in on his defense of Hikari ever since he was on the brink of being lynched a few pages ago. There is something seriously strange about that ... evilpacman18, have you actually deluded yourself so much you are actually believing your own meta-reads? I mean if there was one scum team I could see a scum defending a townie on the verge of lynch for towncred upon flip, but there are two scum teams, so evilpacman18 wouldn't know if he was defending a townie or an enemy scum. Puzzling, very puzzling.
Hi Viomi. You seem to think that Hikari and evilpacman18 are scumbuddies, yet you also admit they are defending each other a lot (and when one is on the verge of being hammered). Tell me how that makes sense.
There are a lot of things about this game that do not make sense right now...-

You don't often see this kind of chainsaw defense, and when you do it's almost always scumbuddies.
How does that not make sense? Yes it's a completely stupid tactic for scum usually, but since most scum bus they might've agreed on defending together since it's not a very common scum tactic.
But anyways that's just a bunch of WIFOM, but answer me this:
Why else would they defend eachother so much?
I get a little bit defense of a friend you've been playing with for a long time, I've sure done it, but this isn't just defense. It's CHAINSAW defense. He's defending everything about hikari he can, and that gives me really bad vibes.
A few points:
>Your reasoning behind them being linked is extremely transparent and suspect.
>You seem to be injecting a lot of WIFOM into the game. I have a rule of thumb, when a player declares WIFOM, I assume it is scum motivated. It makes the game much simpler.
>Your town-motivated play is starting to come off as forced, much in the same way Revenus' is.
>I am inches away from starting a wagon on you.
The fact that evilpacman is now avoiding the game after being caught in a blatant lie is also very much telling. At this point I am linking Viomi/EPM and letting Hikari off the hook, for now. Revenus also is on my scum radar, and the fourth is potentially AJ, but the slot is still open and I'm taking applications.-

Considering that your 4chan case is total garbage, that entire post is hilarious considering that you believe you've found EPM in a lie and is now avoiding the game (he literally has posted in this thread exclusively for the last few days and just hasn't posted today) is the real hilarity.
Tell me this, director.
Do you ever check your work to see that you could maybe--and dear god I know this is hard to believe from someone with your stature--be wrong?
Of course I can be wrong. I was going to hammer you without question, remember? But I'm not a such a stubborn hearted bloke to realize that some reads can be wrong, after all, this game is mostly about gut. And if and when EPM actually answers why he lied, perhaps the situation will clarify itself. And if and when you realize that Viomi is "quad" posting to create distance between the lie, perhaps things will clear up.
At any rate, if you find anything substantially wrong with anything that I've said, please do share.

Unless you're implying that you only hammer people; in that case, dont' talk about starting wagons; you didn't even hammer Hiraki after making a huge fuss about being some hammertime mafia hero.
I like having my finger on the trigger. It appeals to my machismo.
In all seriousness, go back and review Viomi (and the slot she replaced) and give an honest assessment. Put aside the fact I've been calling you scum all game and just give me what you think.-

I already stated my case, its the one which Hikari called '4chan'. If you want to continue this pissing match about me not moving my vote off of my RVS you continue to do that. But if you decide to actually play the game I'm honestly asking you to go back and give me what you think.-

If you bothered to read the previous pages the field has already debated and come to an agreement that the game is likely a 2x2 setup. Not that I was surprised by you trying to make my comment into something more than what it was. Was kind of expected, actually.
Perhaps town will start to realize that Mae is very correct in that Viomi is manipulating people. As soon as I stopped being nice to her, she immediately attacked me. Her EPM/Hikari link was heavily manipulated, she jumped on Mae after telling all of us that Hikari was scum (and the largest wagon, so no town motivation there from her standpoint), now she is chasing after me. She is not making sense and the only reason she doesn't have a wagon is cause she says nice things to some people.
Or not, do what you want. Mae is probably town for what its worth.-

No the defending part was true, your interpretation of what it meant was the manipulation.
As far as making shit up as I go, here is what I'm reading from you:
>You think Hiraki is scum
>He has the largest wagon
>You change your vote to Mae and have pretty much stopped pushing the Hiraki wagon
I have a real problem with this. If you really think Hiraki is scum then you should be pushing him to lynch, but instead you are off running after Mae. Even if you think Mae is scum, why would you start a brand new wagon?-

I'm going to give Navarre a day (about until 2pm EST tomorrow) to formulate a response. If he doesn't or if it looks bad, I'll hammer.
AJ - Quick wagons or deadline lynches are only bad if they only focus on the active field. I have to begrudgingly agree with Viomi - this one is on a player who is active lurking, which means it has a bit more honesty behind it.-

I want to hammer right now, but I'd rather give Navarre a chance to claim. Director, I suggest you wait for his claim too. Anyone who hammers before Navarre has a chance to claim should be under extreme suspicion tomorrow.
I'm going to be honest, I really haven't been giving Navarre much attention, just have noticed a lot of people don't like him on some level and that he really doesn't contribute much. I'm ISOing him right now, and if I get a strong scum read from him, I am going to hammer tonight.-

You're right. Town flip won't surprise me but it has to be someone
Begrudgingly agree. Navarre, even if town, isn't going to soak up a night kill and has a grand total of 12 posts (made the ISO real easy) over 20something pages which is just awful. Equally awful is the fact he is on the chopping block over 12 whole posts (I seriously thought he had more).
The only other possibility is asking Navarre to replace out and picking someone else for the deadline lynch. That way Navarre's replacement can catch up during the night and we use the lynch on someone much scummier.-
