I like this approach. Even though the votes are "random" they aren't really. The reasons may be stupid but they do exist. So feel free to poke and prod if you feel their answers will give you info.-

Am I missing something in her post cause I didn't see it.
She says she is bad at mafia and gets defensive when attacked. By stating this upfront she predisposes the town to believe her later on when she is on 3 or 4 mis lynches in a row. However Naomi's response of how this info also helps the town makes it null unless she actually makes the argument later on.-

This is whomps first game in this account 10 posts all votes. Most likely a pure troll than some kind of role. Going off the wiki no normal role explains his behaviour.
I don't think there is any value in voting him out today. Eventually he gets tired and gets mod replaced or smartens up and starts to play.-

Um, if you want someone to be lynched, you think they're scum.
This should be the case but lots of time people will vote and lynch someone because they are anti-town rather than because they are scummy. The whomp wagon is an example of this hence the question to crazy of why did he want him lynched?-

Anyways, (am I forcing this anyways, or am I being casual with my anyways? Anyways...) I'm not sure why other people's posts are not relevant, but whomp's wall post is. Relevant to what exactly? Were your random troll votes relevant, or does relevance only occur when you say so?
Anyways, I maintain my stance that RVS pressure wagons are mostly useless (pressure them into answering what exactly?), and anyways, that I highly dislike lurkers, despite whether it is in any way(s) original or not. Maybe you can read it again and dislike it more whomp. Anyways, I wonder why you dislike it so much? Are you planning on lurking anytime (or anyway) soon? I plan on not letting you FYI.

Posting nothing but votes is quite scummy imo.
Why? I don't see it as alignment indicative at all.-

I'm going to leave this here and see what other people think since nobody commented on it at the time. Munkir's subtitle is Townsperson. He seems inexperienced enough for this post to be a legitimate question. If he weren't town, he wouldn't have asked the question, seeing the contradiction with his own role.
That being said the rest of his posts have virtually no content and I would have had him on my leaning scum list. Not sure how to feel.
That's a real good catch, if he was scum he would have asked his scum team or pmd the mod. Does scum have day talk in normal?

@Naiomi,
My vote on you served its purpose, it got you to better explain your town reason for why you posted what you did, so I unvoted.
I defended whomp because people lynch bad townies too often rather than scum and the wagon was forming quickly. If he was just trolling he wasn't going to defend himself and when he hit l-1 he was just going to self hammer.-

I really don't like riddles and isots dayvig sequence. It looks staged. It looks like they waited for a chance to do it. I ask about Daychat then riddle a and ISOt escalate it to a fake dayvig. If riddle is town and likes using fake day vigs why use that moment as the fake dayvig. And why so quickly ask if you are scum. If it was a gambit slow playing after the kill would get far better reactions then just a straight are you scum question.
Isotts reaction kind of seems normal but the Riddleton just bails on the gambit without allowing isott to fully react. Emotion is tough to fake for very long so ending it quickly serves the scum.
I don't like the whole interaction.

Why IStOt
Why this early in the game. This type of gambit only works once. And would work much better later once there is suspicion built up.-

Riddle confessed.
What's there to not understand about the test. Two questions resolve from it. Did riddle and istot set this interaction up? Was Isotts reaction genuine?
Also why make this post stating that you have nothing to say? You could just not post about it. This is followed by a post of you adding the countdown clock to your sig. You look like you are trying to appear more active than you are.-

I had a feeling the argument would continue on and wanted my comment of, not touching this, on record. that was pretty much the entire thing.

Well, I think WW is town, and GGG actions feel scummy, partically when ISO'd (given that before I said anything on him, he had contributed 0) and beacuse GGG defended WW it makes me think that mabye WW is scum (a very good scum player). There was no real reason on why GGG would defend WW and since my vote landed on them, they have been taking alot more actions.

I arranged your activity into a line graph, and added a pie chart for pre- and Post- Vote.
Well you used your time zone instead of mine, didn't compare any control groups and your original point was apparently about content and not post count. It's amazing how unimportant this whole inquiry was and how badly you botched the analysis on it. You get on the such bad play it's town list and to be fair you did warn us in your first post.

Did some iso reading today a few things jump out.
- ISOt has 1 real read of flames for being aggressive, the rest of posts have nothing. Lots of no content posts. This along with the dayvig thing puts him on the scum pile.
Original Chris 242 don't like no defending others early comment, if you don't feel someone is scum you have to bring it up. There is a point it goes overboard but to say never defend others day 1 seems too extreme. Not sure if someone else mentioned this elsewhere but in 403 OC is setting up a kill for info, then kill the other on droog and whomp. Scum gets two mislynches on a false choice. I do like oc's 420 as manipulating people to make cases is real scummy. OC, do you have specific instances of whomp manipulating posts.
Riddleton. Really don't like the dayvig gambit, timing doesn't make sense to gain info for the town. He's also disappeared for a day now since starting to be scumread. I'm interested in his seeing his reads right now.
Flubbs - not sure on but think he is poor town rather than scum.
I liked the AWA wall and the Kur0 walls. I much prefer reading walls to flubbs and flames line by lines stating nothing and having to dig back to find what they are talking about but each style has pros and cons.-

1: Is this directed at me?
2: I think it's sincere. Most people wouldnt take notice of the title, but I can easily see how it would confuse a newbtown. He's acting like I did when I was new to mafia, and is acting like other newbies ive played with.
3: I dont see them buddying, at all. Maybe I'm just daft.
Number 1 was a question for you.
Should have read do you see whomping manipulating posts as OC is claiming.-

Naiomi,
How do crazies vote, posting, and content differ from the average.
Also it appears that you picked out crazy did a bunch of fake graphs, then fit the data and the argument to your pre-existing suspicions.
Have you benchmarked this system in other games say by taking 10 games, do this type of analysis and predicting scum based on it. How much better than luck is this type of pseudo analysis.
I would suggest in general to drop the spreadsheets and focus on content.-

I will post once and only was on the slur topic. After that it is up to the mods. When you use 'gay' in a negative connotation it is a slur.
Similar to you throw like a girl is insulting the way women play sports. Calling something negative gay is insulting to gay people. Not sure what you think the word has evolved into that doesn't link it back to insulting homosexuals. The reason words are important is the attitude that being gay is a negative is quite pervasive in today's society and tolerating the use of the word only furthers that attitude. This needs to be changed and if that occurs on one little corner of the internet then it's worth the fight.
So I am asking flubbs and others to refrain from using it in any negative connotation. The first one was a slip but these second two were clearly meant as insults to cp as he was the original person who asked that gay not be used as a slur. It is also insulting munk that you would argue that flubbs was calling those posts happy. It was clearly calling the posts and logic terrible and using the word gay to do it. I know it, you know it we all know it. You don't have to agree with me and would prefer not to make a big deal out of it.
/stepping of my soapbox.
For me flubbs simply committing to not using gay as a slur ends the issue.-

My top scum reads right now are
OC - trying to pair whomp / droog seems scummy. Can you point out the specific posts that link droog and whomp. Also where is whomp misdirecting posts. Also an update was promised to your reads but instead went off ranting. The last one is null to slightly scummy.
Flubbs - no content, lots of posts, no hunting
Riddleton

This is now two days ago. Effectively since the fake dayvig gambit he hasn't posted. Riddle what are your reads
Town - Naiomi - her play would be a hell of a scum gambit
- munk Town slip early on
Kuro8 is a big null right now. Can you be more active.
I like drools comment not to kill riddle as they are neighbours and I am interested to see if anything can be gained from them talking tonight so while he is suspicious it can wait.

Has this type of either or read ever worked out when made day 150k. When backed by vote history you can make some either or links but two guys arguing can you really get a read from. It's pure wifom.
It's scummy early on because it sets up a moslynch day one and a mislynch day 2 and all you have to do is pick two random people arguing and say 1 is scum one is town.-

Well your argument is based off assumptions of why I voted for you that are false so I'm at a loss.
Nope. I thought you were voting me b/c of 362. Terribad reason to vote me so I voted you.
You then change your reasoning to this "tone" argument which is basically nonexistent.
I'm voting for younowbecause you still have a bad reason, and because you didn't give a good reason to vote originally.
so who are my scumbuddies.
This solidifies my vote on flubs. Day 1, unless you have the worst scum team ever, will not reveal buddies. Pushing for associative tells day one is scummy. This is really poor defense.
I really don't like AWAs voting because he sees flubs as anti town and he keeps pushing it as a good tactic so he has gone from null to lean scum, this could just be misguided town though so I need more from him. Not a day 1 lynch for me.
I really don't see the argument against CP. It appears right now to be based purely on tone which is poor even for day 1. I think the sarcasm was warranted as the accusation against him by Naiomi was such a mess that arguing against it was pointless when a demonstration made the point succinctly. The emotional tone of CPs arguments to me is consistent.
I want answers to my questions from OC once his schedule clears up. Mainly backup for his accusations of buddying and whomp misrepresenting people.-

Can you explain to me why voting for an anti-town player is worse than not voting, which is my only other option at the moment, since I don't have any definitive scum reads? To me, the order of danger to the town goes: Scum > Anti-town > Neutral > Town. If I can't be sure of someone being scum, then anti-town becomes my highest choice for removing danger to the town.
People in this game have done scummy things. You should be voting for who you think is the scummiest. The problem with your logic is that you are never sure someone's scum so therefore will never vote for a scummy person.
Do you find anything scummy about flubs posting?-

Just going back to this one; the graphs are not fake, you can confirm ALL the data your self, its below the graphs in plain view, Please don't misrepresent my graphs, they take alot of time to build partially when examining someones attacks, self defend, null, informative and defence posts, that took the best part of 4 hours.
Sorry, I shouldn't have said fake, I should have said that the data doesn't support any conclusions.
Without baseline data of to what produces scummy stats the stats only identify a posters posting style. I appreciate the effort but think your effort could be better directed at finding the scummy posts and connections between people rather than trying to find meaning in percentage of posts and post to vote ratios.-

Can you explain to me why voting for an anti-town player is worse than not voting, which is my only other option at the moment, since I don't have any definitive scum reads? To me, the order of danger to the town goes: Scum > Anti-town > Neutral > Town. If I can't be sure of someone being scum, then anti-town becomes my highest choice for removing danger to the town.
People in this game have done scummy things.
That is an matter of opinion.

Do you find anything scummy about flubs posting?
The person I think is scummiest is the person that I think is helping the scum the most, be they actual scum or not. This is completely in line with what I have been saying all along.

This is a very brazen thing to ask from your "read the thread" high horse.
The difference here being that whenever I post a conclusion that I draw, I provide the steps of reasoning within that same post. You, on the other hand, simply state a conclusion(?) without any supporting evidence, leaving everyone to read your post and come to their own conclusions, which, since you poisoned the well with your own assertion, will likely be skewed toward your own stated conclusion. It's a classic example to psychological manipulation, which some people might not have recognized but which I won't fall for.
So AWA, you see nothing that would indicate mafia alignment with flubs. It is purely because he is a distraction to the town and allows town to hide.-

Right now, my two highest candiatess are Flubber and Droog, Flubber for causing anti-town chaos and Droog for not only encouraging that sort of chaos, but for pointing a finger at those who call it out. Flubber's 524 is exactly the kind of misdirection and poisoning the well that I'm talking about. Also notice the buddy-buddy with Droog; I could easily see a scumbuddy relationship there.
This is as close a AWA comes to calling flubbs scum.-

In post 395, AWA wrote:Wow I'm a lot more tired than I thought I was. I wanted to make a big post but I don't really want to do a point-by-point of the eight pages that happened since my last post, so I'll just give my general impressions here:
Whomping Willow:I'm glad that he's decided to start contributing, and his contributions have some content. That said, I don't have any particular leaning either way: I don't necessarily gather a scum vibe from him, but I haven't gotten any clear town tells from him either. My stance: Neutral. (Side note: I explicitly didn't vote for you in RVS because I dislike RVS in general; especially in this forum format where people may vote and then be away for an extended period, a person may be mistakenly lynched due to an RVS vote that would otherwise have been prevented in a different format. IGMEOY does the same thing, perhaps slightly less strongly, without the chance of mislynch).
Originalchris:My inclination here is scum. By 219 Willow had been posting several content posts, none of which I personally got a scum tell from. His entire case against Willow appears to be the "scumtell of the year" (commenting on the word "anyway"), and an apparent obsession with deflection, which is a convenient counter to almost any response and which can be both confusing and frustrating for the town. He also seems to be of an extremes mindset, by which I mean that if someone is accused to scum, then reasonable doubt is not enough to save, them, but rather we must go beyond a shadow of a doubt. This can be very dangerous later in the game, where a scum player can simply put a random town up for examination, and then cast doubt to create the lynch. My stance: Neutral.
Pedit: 370 is a great post. I don't necessarily agree with everything in it, but that he posted some more content is great, something that everyone should do, instead of posting fluff in order to look active.
crazypianist1116:Despite him asking both myself and kuror0 to post more, he has almost no posts of content. The only one I could find is 170, but it is a very important post. I agree that if Munkir were not town, he would not have asked the question, though there are indeed some strange things with his post style (more on him later though). Not enough content here. My stance: Neutral.
Pedit: 373 is great, similar to 370 above. Again, I disagree with some of the points, but more content = good.
istott:I'd say that the most important interaction here is Riddleton's fake dayvig (actually had to look up what that was, had no clue that that even existed), his reaction to it, and his reaction to the aftermath. In my opinion, his reaction was fairly normal for a town, though a properly skilled scum player could fake it fairly easily I suppose. In order to arrive at this conclusion, we have to look at what a scum would do:
Istott, having no knowledge of whether there was in fact a dayvig, has three options: Post a claim saying that he he's town, post a claim admitting to scum, or not posting at all and waiting to see if there was a mod announcement.
Iif he thinks there is indeed a dayvig, then:
-Claiming town as scum does nothing; he's already dead. Claiming town as town also does nothing.
-Claiming scum as scum does nothing; he's already dead. Claiming scum as town is stupid.
-Therefore posting nothing is the only sensible response. He did not post nothing, so he must have thought that there was not a dayvig. Therefore:
-Claiming town as scum could possibly save him. Claiming town as town could also save him.
-Claiming scum as scum would do nothing. Claiming scum as town is stupid.
-Posting nothing would lead to an accusation of dodging, although we don't know if the mod would immediately make an announcement of death, so it might lead to an examination to see if the dayvig actually existed based on mod response (or lack thereof).
The only conclusion that it is possible to draw is that istott did not think that there was a dayvig, but felt compelled to respond in the only logical manner, which was to claim town. This does not tell us anything about his role in and of itself, and I'm not experienced enough at reading forced tells to make a judgment on 192. That said, he seems rather chilly in ISO 29-33. I don't know whether to label this as a scum trying to imitate a town keeping their emotions down, or the genuine article. Basically, my read is that I have no clear reads, however IGMEOY. My stance: Neutral.
Naomi-Tan:Her biggest post by far is 245, although 22 and 165 warrant consideration.
22: I agree somewhat that acting newbish and naive in the beginning seemed like a possible smokescreen, but in my opinion she has since shown enough caution and general competence to be disavowed of that defense. I also share her views toward RVS in general, so I'm glad that she wanted to move on as soon as possible.
165: There are lots of words here, but not much content. You say that 94 (you said 92 but meant 94) was a possibly-good, possibly-bad post, which is convenient waffling. You also state your ideas on how a point-by-point post should be structured, which doesn't really tell us anything at all. Moral of the story here is that lots of words does not mean lots of content.
245: Another big post with very little actual content. The most important things are right at the end: She lists several negative things about originalchris, yet also states that she doesn't see him as scummy, and then proceeds to vote GGG for not talking, where her vote still stands, despite him actually posting several comments, both before and after her vote, of meaningful content.
My big problem with Naomi is that she tends to talk a lot but say very little. This can be detrimental in the long run, but I don't really get a scum vibe from it, either. That said, I haven't seen any town tells. My stance: Neutral.
Munkir:Almost entirely no content at all. The most curious thing that I see is that in 323, he uses the term WIFOM. Either Naomi is giving him coaching (which I'm not particularly fond of in principle) or he's more familiar with the game than would be expected of a true newbie (in which case he has been obfuscating stupidity). Either way, while I haven't seen any explicit scum tells, I'm uneasy about this player. My stance: Neutral, but IGMEOY.
droog:The first thing I have to say is that I really dislike his posting style. It reminds me of Runescape, and there's really no point to it on a forum where posts can be typed out in their entirety and be made grammatically correct. However, that doesn't really have a bearing on the game, and since he seems to be consistent with using that style over his previous games, I don't believe that there is some kind of posting restriction associated with his role.
His "plan" to prod out Riddleton as his neighbor was kind of strained and his reaction was very disproportionate. Can someone clarify to me if neighbors necessarily know the other neighbor's role? If so, then I could see a scum's attempt at a fake bus backfiring. Other than this, he's posted almost nothing of any substance. His freakout gave me a very negative vibe. My stance: Scum.
GGG:He brings up a good point about the isott-Riddleton dayvig exchange, which I hadn't considered. However, it would only be able to be staged if the scum were able to communicate outside of the thread. Is this possible? I'm not sure how the neighbor mechanic works (I had to look it up when analyzing droog above). I sort of agree with him about Riddleton bailing too easily on the fake dayvig. I don't know if it's enough to make me vote, since as I said such a ploy would only be possible if they were able to communicate, which we don't know is possible. So far, I get at least a neutral feeling, leaning toward town. My stance: Town.
AWA:obvious scum pls lynch.
kuror0:No content. I certainly understand the time problem, since I've been rather sparse myself, but with only one post so far it's very difficult to get any kind of read. My stance: Neutral.
Riddleton:His dayvig test really unsettles me. It seems very forced, and he gives it up very quickly for something that is by nature only usable once per game. However, Like I said above, it's hard to see how this could be construed as scummy UNLESS he and istott were both scum, AND could have communicated outside of the thread. IGMEOY. My stance: Neutral, dependent on my views toward istott.
Flames682:Just to address something that happened WAY back and has already been moved on from, I didn't IGMEOY Willow for bandwagoning GGG, but for bandwagoning Riddleton in the beginning. This sounds dumb, but I got to the bottom of the first page of posts and didn't realize that there were more pages before I replied (it's been a long time since I've post on any kind of message board).
What I really don't like about him is that ISO 28-65 is all fluff, there's absolutely zero content whatsoever. In addition, his only other useful substance relates to the istott-Riddleton exchange (which I've already gone over several time); he jumps on istott for reacting in the only possible way he could have reacted (see above) and puts a vote down on top of that. Combined with his general rude and aggressive attitude and posting style, I get a negative vibe from him. Perhaps lower on my list than others, but still suspicious. My stance: Scum.
Flubbernugget:First things first: Your avatar creeps me out. A lot. I would appreciate it if you would change it, but if you don't I'll live.
In regards to his content, there is actually very little here to go off of. The only thing is a vote on droog for his overreaction to the "hammer" on Riddleton (where it still stands, by the way). The vote itself is innocuous, in my opinion; less so is the fact that it still stands, without any reasonable justification, and in fact an explicit refusal to justify it. All of his other posts have been fluff. My stance: Scum.
---
To sum up, I think that there are some people who lean further toward scum than others, and some people who are VERY tenuously on the fence, but who can easily fall one way or the other. For now, I think I willVote: droog. His Riddleton hammer response and subsequent neighbor claim both seemed contrived. However, depending on how the next few pages of discussion go, I could easily see this vote switching to Riddleton/istott or Flubber.

I am flip flopping back and forth on you. In your first reads post you have flubbs, flames and droog as scum. Now you are saying you have no scum read on flubbs and it is basically lynching someone anti town.
Why the change from scum reading flubs to him just being anti town.-

I think if you read AWAs numerous clarifications, he has stated that flubs behaviour is anti town and in the absence of any good scum reads we should vote for the worst townie. While I disagree on this he has been remarkably consistent even when I tried to bait him into scum reading flubbs.
I believe AWA is voting you now though.
Pedit: CP I will try to use that feature. Some posts were done on my phone so it's much more difficult to manipulate.-

What's interesting is that everyone has jumped on AWA while talk around flubs has dried up. It appears that their is a push to move discussion away from flubbs. Flubbs has had almost no content despite being a high poster. His one case on CP started with a vote and without logic to support. Then it took a few days to get that logic out of him. It was tone, essentially he was upset at being voted for and nice to Munkir. Post 635. After that it is a weak defense against AWA consisting mostly of you aren't reading my posts.
Flubbs what is your response to the argue,nets that you have little content, post fluff, and your only cast on CPs tone is not alignment indicative.

I'm not really okay with it. I think somewhere I posted I disagree with his whole lynch the most damaging to town strategy. I just don't find it scummy.-

@droog
I just finished the newb game the camping trip with flubbs. Flubbs in that game just asked questions with no analysis. In the other town games you listed he seemed to follow this ask questions meta. This game he is just making fluff statements.
http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... ct[]=24265
Compare this games ISO with the one above. This came he isn't the same questioning scum hunter.-
