That is a good question, if I recall correctly there was a quick trio of votes very late in the day: myself, Walter and Italiano, I would say that trio "drove" the wagon. I town read Walter and Italiano and am confirmed town to myself of course, so I believe the shelly wagon was town-driven.

Then tayl0r slid on after a short delay I think, then at the last minute geraintm, Nos and RCE voted creating the hammer. I am lightly town reading these slots that were also on-wagon as well, though I wouldn't describe them as "driving" the wagon as much as making sure it went through. I believe this second group was mainly voting on this wagon because they trusted the slots that were already on it more so than the Walter wagon and wanted to ensure a lynch went through.
actually i was the first on the wagon and pushed for other people to join
This is true. And I think wanting the credit of a scumflip is nai imo, but taking her iso/interaction(s) into account and despite my earlier reservations, I’m gonna assume Taylor is towntelling here.

I was the leading wagon at the time (). In you, Walter, and Geraintm were tied at two votes. Shelly was at one vote because Frogster had switched to geraintm. Not sure how much momentum there potentially was for geraintm to become the leading wagon.

Without knowing how you actually play as both alignments it’s hard to know what you mean by “obvious” and “unnatural”. What differences are there or can be seen when you are “trying as town” as opposed to not trying?

It may go against the grain, but I like this response. I was asking Raya this question as if she was scum sacrificing her scumbuddy and she answered it oblivious to the reasoning behind the question. If you are faking this response Raya, then kudos to you.
In post 1408, Frogsterking wrote:Yes Raya and Italiano are both motivated by fear of being incorrect.

Italiano is more specific in that his fear is in being incorrect about his scum reads, which is causing him to double take his reads continuously. Raya also appears to fear being incorrect about her scum read on Walter, with the opposite reaction of doubling down under pressure.

Raya, the issue I have with your slot is that you're not only absent from the game, you also appear significantly guarded in your thoughts and feelings. Being busy explains the absence but not necessarily the guardedness.

I think appearing guarded in this lobby is quite a feat, because I don't think this is the most trusting group of people in the world.
Fear of being incorrect is not it at all. I could be wrong, but that doesn’t motivate my actions. The evidence of the shelly wagon and the interactions everyone had with that slot is pretty telling. Shelly is a confirmed flip so I want to use that information as the foundation for where I go. I don’t want to speculate, because I don’t have to.
Your solve is less accurate now than it was at the beginning of D2 fmpov. If the cause was not emotional then I'd guess you made a logical error during your analysis of the shelly flip.
How so?

Looks like we both got confused. This was the fake claim he pushes. It was clearly fake and a joke because Nos just asked for someone to fake a guilty since they were bored. Then Walter quickly backs off when some of us disagree.


For Walter: , ,
Just making sure. Yeah, I agree with Walter. RCE's move was suspicious, defense of it was suspicious. Also, Nos asking for it was in D1 whereas RCE fakeclaimed in D2 after a scumflip - the game being "boring" realistically no longer applied. Plus, I believe Walter more because he was on shellyc's wagon and you weren't.

Because fmpov I know you're vote is incorrect and you weren't voting me before your analysis, so if the change wasn't an emotionally charged one I'm assuming it's a logical error.

I didn't notice anything wrong with your logic in general while reading through your posts the first time aside from that I disagreed with your initial assumption (the shelly lynch was a buss/scum driven) so that could be one. I can't remember any statistics I read on the likelihood of a D1 bus.

A second possible point of error could be assuming my lack of interactions with banana/shelly is an associative scum tell. I believe this might be speculative about my scum play, and if not, I don't know how likely a lack of interactions with a vote target holds up as a scum tell, especially on D1 w/ 13 players, or as an indicator a bus is happening, where I imagine it might be less likely.

And a third possible point of error is that I do believe you're speculating about my scum play at least a little bit (that I like to bus) because you suspected me of bussing for a nearly-opposite associative tell on D1. It's been a long time since I rolled scum in any medium of the game so I don't really know how my gameplay would change, in general though I would discourage bussing, I don't think it usually does anything, and I preferred to be the one being bussed because I enjoyed open-wolfing.
Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.
Terry: ...Thanks.

yep, it is a bad look for frogster.
they have the appearance of someone who has their vote placed no where useful, but want to be on a lynch but can't work out an easy way to get there. and then list 3 different places (raya, gamma and CFJ) where they are already starting to think about going.

I can't find any real reason to defend myself from outside of not being super active and I already explained that. I don't want to be eliminated, I'm town and from my POV my elimination is a guaranteed miselimination. But besides RCE (who doesnt seem to be happening) I don't know who I want to vote for. Although I'd be willing to compromise to frog if anyone wants to since I don't like his positioning lately. Walter is an option too but I don't think anybody would be going for that today.

I was the leading wagon at the time (). In you, Walter, and Geraintm were tied at two votes. Shelly was at one vote because Frogster had switched to geraintm. Not sure how much momentum there potentially was for geraintm to become the leading wagon.
During or a little before the shift onto shelly at the end of Day 1, geraintm was listed as a scum read, scumtelling, or a reasonable compromise wagon by:
  • Frogster (#, again in #, again in #)
  • Gamma (#)
  • Walter (#, again in #)
  • Raya (#)
  • me (#)
  • Looker (#, after the geraintm wagon had mostly collapsed)
[/list]
I was expecting more people in this list, but that was partly because Frogster was so insistent on geraint as a viable option. On the other hand, Frogster was
also
insistent on preferring shelly, so the geraint wagon may have been doomed by voter overlap with the shelly wagon.

# seems clear enough.
In post 1469, callforjudgement wrote:Meanwhile, Looker just looks bad from all this
How? Why?
I was thinking of #, which given the timing looks very much like it's trying to save shelly by trying to divert the players unwilling to eliminate Walter onto geraint instead. While looking up the post number for this, I noticed #, which given shelly's flip is bad individually and makes #825 look even worse; this was before the big move over to shelly, and the vote count looked like # (except that Walter was on N_M), so it was effectively a request for Tayl0r to vote somewhere other than shelly. I can imagine a townie doing this purely because Tayl0r was the only player on a wagon alone, but there's obvious scum motivation behind it given the shelly flip, and a player who is interesting in consolidating wagons wouldn't be likely to subsequently go over to a two-player geraint wagon rather than the Walter or shelly wagon.

This gives insufficient time for your target to confirm you (especially if they're scum; they can just be offline / pretend to be offline until the mod locks the thread; but even a townie might be offline). This greatly raises the chance for scum shenanigans N2.

Do you town or scumread Gamma?
Townread (previously stated in #, and not much relevant has happened with the Gamma slot since). Gamma appears to townread the top wagons, and after being pressed, made a reasonable case in Looker (over multiple posts, the events in question span the range from around # to #).

Interesting contradction in Frogster's ISO that I noticed while writing my previous post:
In post 1055, Frogsterking wrote:Gamma starting to town tell now in recent posts leaves me with a solid scum read on the CFJ slot.
In post 1367, Frogsterking wrote:After being provoked by Looker, CFJ responds that the Gamma wagon did indeed produce good content, but for an unstated reason is unlikely to produce more, hence the vote switch.

This seems odd to me, because I'm not seeing where CFJ applied pressure to Gamma, or where Gamma produced such content, it just looked like an empty distancing vote to me.
(For context, "Gamma wagon" starts at #, and was pretty much over by # when it became clear that Frogster preferred me over gamma today, meaning that there was no more pressure coming from the Frogster slot; Gamma hadn't posted since #.)

So in other words, Frogster picked up towntells from Gamma while I was voting for him. He subsequently claims that my vote must have been distancing rather than genuine, on the basis that I'd claimed to have picked up good content from Gamma while I was voting for him. And the reason that the Gamma wagon was unlikely to produce more content was that Frogster killed it! (#, #).

(I think the reason for this contradiction is the same as the reason for the other failures of logic I've pointed out from Frogster: that Frogster has decided to scumread me, initially as PoE, then deciding that pretty much everything he reads is compatible with me as scum and is interpreting everything in that light, getting confirmation bias, and ignoring his own prior reads and the context as a consequence.)

You don't think that contradiction could just come from scum?

It could, on its own. I don't think the sort of cases that Frogster has been making on me more generally could come from scum, though; I find it hard to see a player
intentionally
inserting logical fallacies into their posts, and reasoning as bad as # (I analyse this in #) is far more likely to come from someone who incorrectly assumes that I'm scum and makes incorrect assumptions about objective facts in order to make their read fit, than someone who knows I'm town and is trying to push me anyway. If you're scum pushing a townie for made-up reasons, it's rare to pick reasons which are easily and trivially shown to be faulty reasoning by anyone; you simply don't make that post, and look for a more reasonable argument to push.

That's true and a good point. Maybe I'm reading his current stance wrong.

UNVOTE: Frog

Looking at the wagons there's me, RCE, Looker, Gamma, Frog. I'm town, I have no strong opinions on Gamma, I agree with what cfj just said about Frog likely being town. I'm moving back to RCE. I could maybe do Looker. I think he has a higher chance of being town than scum but I'm not convinced either way.
VOTE: RCE

could i ask people to give me the benefit of the doubt on raya here? im not an investigative with a guilty on raya or anything, but i do have a very strong gutread. this doesnt feel like town!raya after reading over a few games. this doesnt feel like town!raya based on raya's own description. a few people are trying to get counterwagons going. none of the people i scumread are voting raya.

That's not a contradiction. He made some bad looking posts, then some posts I liked, then bad posts again, and overall I read the slot as scum.

If anyone is curious what CFJ is doing right now I have a link that describes it:
https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/th ... tichora%29

In summary, you spam up the thread to mess with the town information flow and shade as many townies as possible, without much regard to getting scum read by the other players, in fact often you plan to finish it with a bus. This is how I believe CFJ has been approaching the game.

If your read is that strong, I'm willing to sheep it, even though I don't have a scumread on Raya myself (especially as my current scumreads aren't all that strong).

The contradiction is "I'm not seeing […] where Gamma produced such content", versus you explicitly stating at the time that Gamma was producing such content. Or in other words, you're assuming that you saw something townish from Gamma's posts, but that I couldn't possibly have seen something townish from the same posts.

I will vote her once it's clear a wagon on Gamma or CFJ will be impossible.

yep, it is a bad look for frogster.
they have the appearance of someone who has their vote placed no where useful, but want to be on a lynch but can't work out an easy way to get there. and then list 3 different places (raya, gamma and CFJ) where they are already starting to think about going.

will saythat raya is acting either very cool or very disinterested about their status as leading wagon

I said something similar a few days ago. I didn't say claim, I just said that the day seems to be drifting towards their lynch and they should probably try and alter the course if they didn't want to get killed.

Don't think you hassled me over my post though :/

oh, I am 99% sure they have no intention to hammer and want a claim.
