For what it's worth, Molla's strong resistance to Infinity for rogue leader is having the opposite of his desired effect.In post 711, BBmolla wrote:guess it's just me. proceed as you were.-

(Basically this, with an added dose of: Molla as town should already know this and thus never have made the point in the first place.)In post 716, Heartless wrote:because, if not, your argument of "i don't like this entire pool of people" is probably going to get repeated over and over and over ad nauseum because when you have a sample size large enough there's a good chance you'll hit a point where you won't like a person or two in the mix

Okay, this is a flat-out scumclaim, and I'll show you why with three quotes in conjunction with this one:In post 725, BBmolla wrote:

You've got the right conclusion, but the premise is backwards:In post 774, Nero Cain wrote:So, as scum, I think that calling a player town is kinda buddying or pocketing to use the new jargon. I think alot of players are stupidly OMGUSY so when a scum player calls another player town then its less of a chance they get voted and I think, atleast subliminally, when a player knows they are town and are being called town they kinda go "Oh hey X is reading me correctly so they must be town too!" This is my first time playing with Mastina but I've played several times with her on the Mastin2 account and I know that she has entered the game in a similar style in the past. Was she scum that game? Town? She likely does this regardless of alignment although she's fairly scummy here.
It's true enough that as town, I'll copy my scumgame's better elements to improve my comparatively-weaker towngame. So I understand the theory behind the idea of, "She does this as scum, and thinks it is good, and applies it as town".
...However, in this particular case, it's the other way around--there is actually a very, very, very, VERY strong, clear, obvious town motive behind my actions here and in every game I use this style. So much so, that me not doing it is basically a scumclaim. So in this particular case, my scumgame needed to incorporate these elements, because if I failed to do so, then people would have an actually-valid meta tell on me. Since I'm a pretty damn self-aware scum player, I wasn't going to let that happen, and so, once I realized it was a thing I did as town, I started doing it as scum. Meaning, ultimately, yes, you're right; I do in fact do this regardless of my alignment.-

In case it hasn't been expressed explicitly enough already: bad idea to aim for anything other than town.In post 784, Infinity 324 wrote:Sometimes neighborizer sure used for that, it's easier to pressure them and sort them I guess.
While I recognize the theoretical gain of information, realistically:
-If you invite scum in and they share the information they receive with their scumteam, their scumbuddies are if even remotely competent going to fake ignorance.
-If you invite all town in, then the scum will be ignorant, but so too will all of the town not invited.
-As a result of this, the only way you get useful info is if a scum player not invited shows information they shouldn't have, at which point it becomes clear that scum were invited. Otherwise, there's no discernible difference between the two.
As for why not use the neighborhood to hash out reads: one, neighborhoods are insanely easy for scum to manipulate.
Two, we want to deny the scum any information gained in said neighborhood. Now, given the premise above, we won't actually KNOW if we successfully denied them said info, but we want to at least TRY to deny them that info for as long as humanly possible.
Three, and most critically of all, by the post, it's possible that being in the unit offers potential powers to the neighborhood. There is NO situation in which handing a power to a scum member would be better than handing it to a town member. (Well, unless you're talking something like a suicide gun that allows a player to willingly kill themselves, e.g. treestump. But that's about it.)
For that reason and that reason ALONE you should aim for an all-town neighborhood.-

In theory, sure.In post 788, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:I think she's one of the best players on MS.
In practice, fuck no. I'm probably in the top-10%, sure, but not the top-10. (Unless as scum. Then, maybe.) I'd elaborate more about this if I didn't suddenly and inexplicably have a kitten on one of my arms hindering my typing ability.-

I'm kind of curious why infinity is assuming it's VCA and not just an RVS vote here. I thought it was a joke but then it wasn't. I will soon find out if what you say is true, I suppose.In post 24, Infinity 324 wrote:You like your VCA don't you
Does CWing mean anything to you this early?
Um, yeah, this is reachy as fuck. I suppose it could just be one of those "push-someone-for-no-reason-until-he-cracks" things but if Titus is claiming to be serious here, it's pretty silly to be calling infinity's rvs stuff to be "reeking of desperation".In post 31, Titus wrote:In post 24, Infinity 324 wrote:You like your VCA don't you
Does CWing mean anything to you this early?
I need flips. I can theorize with wagons but please don't try to "help" with my VCA with your votes. Just vote. Trying to help or get me to VCA on page 1 is creepy as fuck and your push on Pine reeks of desperation.
In post 49, Titus wrote:I voted you for your desperation posting regarding Pine and your overly friendly nature, which you immediately 180ed on. You still seem to be flailing about, which is odd for page 2 and me barely posting.

Aj's posting at this point is what seems like just enough to be just enough.In post 104, Aj The Epic wrote:FWIW your math is wrong. You take the percentage of the whole populace, not the assumed scum:town ratio. 4/17 is 23% scum ration, 5/17 is 29%. Not that it's completely relevant to anything, but that's how you'd measure it.
e.g. it's nothing
As were like half the thread, especially including the player in the post above?In post 112, SirCakez wrote:I assume it's 13 v 4 like Firebringer's last 17 player large theme.
In other news I reconnected with the spirits and they've tentatively told me that the Piper and Princess are town and that alban is scummy (i;e I reread the game to answer Heartless's question and noticed that alban was sort of dodging the Titus issue on page 2 which doesn't look good).
No, not in any way, no. Infinity was not trying to have Pine lynched on page 1. You could argue that he could have been trying to get votes to go and therefore stay in that direction, you could argue that he was trying to look busy, but you definitely can't argue that he was trying to lynch a player in RVS.In post 146, Titus wrote:
The selective push does tell things to me. Namely, that whatever your alignment is, you're likely doing something scum want. The hyper, extreme defense of your awkward push on Pine says as much. Then people pretend you were not trying. Major bullshit. Even if you argue senantics on awkward, you were trying to have Pine lynched.In post 142, Infinity 324 wrote:People can still talk about me, but that doesn't mean I have to address every point when I don't believe anything good will come out of it.
This one.In post 237, Nero Cain wrote: what was the best star wars movie?
Um, what exactly about that made you like him? If anything, that's NAI. Scum can take initiative too. Also, I know later on you realized that he knew about the setup from the OP, but of you were concerned that he knew too much, why not share that earlier instead of waiting for someone to ask?In post 269, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:I like that he was one of the first people to mention that we should discuss who should be the Rouge Leader for Night 1. I don't really like the assumptions he made about the setup. Null overall.

Kling in in exactly the same boat as PP.In post 295, Klingoncelt wrote:Just a prod dodge here, I don't need to get involved with VCA arguments or multi/singleball arguments, most of the discussion here has been empty fluff worthy of a Victorian-era luncheon.
Good entrance by Nero, maybe he's Town. I always Townread TTH. Molla and the Piper look Townish. No reads at all on everyone else.

This is god awful.In post 310, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:Yeah after a review of his ISO and just from rereading old games I don't think this is town!SC.
VOTE: SirCakez
Yeah, I feel the same way here. I think the rogue leader votes are going to be important later on to look back on, so voting yourself really isn't helpful to anyone. I'm also someone who loves the use of neighborhoods/neighborizors in general, for anyone that's played my games, and I think they're a lot more powerful than most people give them credit for.In post 331, Pine-A-Tonics wrote:About the Rogue Leader thing, I think it's a disservice to vote yourself as captain. The way it's set up, it's like we can vote to lynch someone and that's who we think is scummy, as for voting for rogue leader, it's like voting for who your strongest town read is.
Basically, if you're town, then people will see that and you'll be elected and it seriously discredits a whole other dimension to the game that can be analyzed if you vote yourself.
/Gin
This post along with the following one look authentically town to me; granted, I don't know the Heartless scumgame and while I assume it's pretty tight, I feel good about them for now just based on pure towny-logic alone. For one, I don't see a world where scum bothers going after Cakes for failing to respond to opposite opinions to them; if anything, it makes the most sense for scum to either let that go since it creates more opposition, or to just call it scum like the rest of us and just jump right on the wagon.In post 336, Heartless wrote:

Ari tends to lurk as scum and I was suggesting to PP if they would like to see if this is him pulling that once him and TB come back.
LUV is pinging me
Anti told me to talk to you because he thought you were being horsey with him. I'm having a little trouble getting a bead on you since we're really out of step in terms of reads. It mildly troubles me that we've both expressed an opinion in direct opposition to yours (Post 38 and Post 144, regarding Princess) but you apparently don't want an explanation from either of us. I know you're not a random person who's never played with us so that makes me think you're avoiding us.
Can you be any more descriptive in your Princess townread or your LUV scumread? Please?
-TTH
The thing that convinces me more though is that TTH is here trying to understand Cakez motivations instead of just saying "LOLZ OBVSCUM" , attacking him for it and immediately piling on which would have been easy enough. That's a towny mindset if I've ever seen it.
Along the same lines, questioning someone's TR on yourself because it's bullshit seems overtly towny.In post 338, Heartless wrote:
I remember you from Gistou but not from anything else. :SIn post 295, Klingoncelt wrote:I always Townread TTH.
Up to that point I'd only made two posts: Post 12 and Post 144. Were you townreading either of those? I'm a little lost on the nature of this read, mostly the described history of "always townreading" me.
-TTH
This post is incredibly wishy washy.In post 339, SirCakez wrote:Spoiler:
P-edit: Hi TTH! I'm not avoiding you guys, I just didn't think to ask about your Princess read. TBH I can't remember why I was town reading them which isn't really a good sign so I'm going to reread them and Klingon since Klingon is being wagoned and I have no read there.
My LUV scumread was initially from how it feels like he's following the crowd (sheeping my alban scumread, sheeping a vote for Infinity rogue leader, sheeping Molla on Piper's post restriction being annoying) and then jumping to respond to a joke that wasn't aimed at him felt weird. And then his vote with some really weak reasons on me is terrible.

Oh. Right. I sometimes forget that people always have to have a first game with mastina at some point in their career.In post 837, Infinity 324 wrote:It always gets me paranoid when people talk about how good their scum game is...
So, hi, Infinity! I'm mastina. I'll just drop a nifty flowchart for ya on how to read me. It's a little bit dated in some parts, but it's more accurate than not even to this very day!
It's a pleasure to meet ya. You'll get to know me better as the game progresses, especially since this playerlist is ripe full of people who know me reasonably well. Not quite to the extents of the AP and zMuffinmans listed above, but enough where they can generally give you a good idea of what is, and isn't, normal from me.mastin2 wrote:mastin2 wrote:Bulbasaur Commonwealth wrote:Here, for your reading pleasure, might as well quote this.In post 24, mastin2 wrote:
Actually...I have.In post 3, SleepyKrew wrote:I think everyone should make one of these. Especially mastin.
I've been meaning to post it, too. It's about a year out of date, though, but I started compiling a way around Mafia with the Quickness 2 called, "How to read Mastin: the flowchart".
Some of them are out of date thanks to contextual meta shifts, but most of them still apply.Spoiler: Stuff about itBulbasaur Commonwealth wrote:(Note of course that the flowchart is never 100% accurate. It's impossible, literally impossible, to display all of them in a single game since many of them are in fact slightly contradictory, but the point is to see as many as possible and if the majority matches town or scum. This chart has been in play for quite a while, now, and to this date, in spite of no active attempts to uphold it and some attempts as scum to subvert it, remains highly relevant to my play. It goes to prove my point, though: scuMastin always has this laser-like focus. Anything Goes in particular, until I faked having my confidence shattered, I was pushing for a specific lynch. In games like Resistance where I was the last living scum in lylo, I wove a narrative specific to one player being scum because I held focus. In my entire scumgame career, holding focus has done nothing but serve me well. Losing focus has done nothing but screw me over. Because guess what? People like focus. They like confidence. They love to see assurance in a read. They want to have a figure be charismatic and to follow. It's an inherent part of people's nature. That's why tunneling is so prevalent, because it works DAMN good and well to get a lynch. People hate doubt. When someone is calling everyone town/scum in rapid circles, AKA circlejerking, people think it's scum trying to mislynch anyone. They see desperation and attribute it to being scum. They don't see a town player desperately trying to figure out the game. They see a scum player that is trying to find options. So damn fucking straight. Maybe someday I'll flail as scum. It could in theory be this game. But in practice? Fuck no. As scum I'd push a lynch through; as town, here I am without a clue.)
^That's how. ('Course, the flowchart was developed for single-ball games. I actually have no clue myself how well it does or doesn't hold up in multiball.)Bulbasaur Commonwealth wrote:(I really need to also add a section in there about explicitly blowing up.
I don't think I've ever thrown f-bombs around as scum freely, aside from some trolling in L4D when I literally claimed scum in-thread once I realized Molla had a guilty on me.
As town, you'll note, I go absolutely ballistic, and for damn fucking good reason. Lynching me has never done a town favors, ESPECIALLY not in the lategame.)
Not included: "Is she doing anything?"mastin2 wrote:(I just realized that an item not on the flowchart but which should be is how I explain my reads:
"Does she explain her reads in crystal clarity?
No-->Almost certainly town, though you can proceed as a precaution just in case.
...Maybe?-->Probably town, but proceed anyway.
Yes-->Proceed.")
Yes-->Well, go read what she's doing, dummy!
No-->She's probably fighting a flake.
Doesn't tell you alignment, but is useful to have on there anyway.
Now Icouldgo telling you whether this is normal for me, but I'd prefer that not only you, but all of them, form their own conclusions on that field. Beyond me telling you of course being self-meta, there's some actually pragmatic reasons why I prefer others to do this rather than just handing them the answer. If you're looking for extra credit, you can try and figure out what said reasons are!-
