Defensive much? I didn't bring it up for the purpose of meta, more for my own amusement because you'd brought some other game into it ha. Why wouldn't it count as meta though?

I wasn't saying don't bring other games into it. I wasn't trying to make a point when I said it. I agree that meta is a useful tool. And I also don't see why first game meta should be discarded as meaningless

inHim uses someone trying to come out of RVS as a reason for voting, then says:

'Scummy bandwagoning propoganda' sounds very much like you don't like his vote because it attempts to start a bandwagon out of the RVS. Just because you chose to explain it by using the second part of what you said doesn't take away from that. Hence, the two are closely related - you say he's scummy for finding a reason to come out of the RVS and then you say you were annoyed at the pace of the game being too slow. They seem to me to be contradictory

As in you thought he had a weak reason for starting a bandwagon, and that the bandwagon he started was therefore just the same as an RVS bandwagon?

In response to said questions:
1. How long have you been playing Mafia? (inside and outside MS)
2. How would you describe your meta?
3. What's your win/loss record?
4. Favorite setup?
5. What do you think is the biggest scum tell?
6. How do you make your decisions?
1. Played about 4 years ago on another forum, had a break then came here. Never played IRL
2. Don't know how to describe it. Chrono's seen it as scum, he could probably describe that better than me
3. W2/L1
4. Humungus themed games
5. Weak pushes
6. I ask my mum

Sorry questions hijacked

1. easjo gave two bs responses to questions XS asked on p.3. Since then he's been saying it was a joke, but says he already answered the questions.

2. Neutral atm.
WHy are you answering someone elses questions? What is it about the questions that you saw the need to jump in and respond to them?

Beefster's introduction of RQS at a point when it was barely needed looks like an attempt to come across as pro-town. I don't see what was to be gained by the RQS. The only thing it seems to have achieved is that beefster picked up on the fact that we should look out for chrono because chrono admits to having anti-town meta. Interesting that chrono should say such a thing because it could be an implicit attempt to defend whatever his style he may be seen to be using in this game. On the other hand, it may not. Just because he said that, doesn't mean we need to look out for him. I don't think we gained anything from the RQS.

Village idiot and scum? Both at the same time? I think that is a highly unlikely scum strategy and a misguided accusation to make so early in the game.
Beefster wrote:Ah. Never mind. Someone misquoted you, so I thought it was on the same post.

You still appear to prolong the RVS, along with inHim. Surprisingly enough, the RVS ended on page 2, on ODDin's vote.
You accuse inHim and easjo of prolonging the RVS. You were the one that decided to follow up the RVS with RQS.

FoS: Beefster


Your play is full of contradiction.

As for the late RQS, I didn't really think of it earlier. The RVS ended really quickly, and I didn't really catch that until I looked in hindsight.
The chances of an experienced player playing VI don't seem particularly realistic. It would be obvious they were scum, because if they were town, then they wouldn't be trying to play stupid. What makes you think he's playing VI?
Mr. Chaos wrote:I noticed a couple of people who haven't contributed as heavily (ie: not at all) who showed up to post their RQS before promptly dissipating into the mist. I really don't like that.
Agreed. Like Chrono and Scott Brosius.

Then there are those who have yet to respond to the questions or contribute anything substantial instead - yourself, Toonfighter and slepz.
I can't see any reference to an inactivity limit in the rules but Toonfighter deserves a prod soon

Beefster wrote:I just realized that VI was entirely the wrong term. My Bad.

A recap/reclarification on my case against inHim:
I didn't like his propaganda argument on ODDin. And I'm not at all happy with the fact that he attacked the first person to have a somewhat serious vote. (even if it wasn't for that reason) I never liked how he attacked ODDin based upon word choice and how he faded into the background when actively attacked. He's not playing like a 6th year townie would. (And I guess that's how I came up with the (invalid) VI argument- Mind you the argument I indended to convey is still valid, but no longer improperly termed.)
A potential train of thought: inHim sees a potential ending to the RVS and tries to blur it by finding a stupid reason to vote on the first somewhat serious vote. He then tries to prolong it more by saying that his defense of the attack (better than random vote = dishonest) was just "casting for nibbles." Then when he realizes that the end of the RVS is inevitable, he fades into the background.

Scummy if I ever saw it.
I don't like this for the fact that this is the second or third thing beefster has said where, when pressed on them and his arguments found wanting, he's backtracked.
ODDin wrote:Hmm, noticed some things I've missed yesterday.

Sandman, you've been accusing beefster of discussing a possibility of VI-scum. But Scorpion has been talking about that even earlier, and he even said he'd used the tactic of VI-scum himself.

Also, this:
Mr. Sandman wrote:The chances of an experienced player playing VI don't seem particularly realistic. It would be obvious they were scum, because if they were town, then they wouldn't be trying to play stupid. What makes you think he's playing VI?
is WIFOM.
Scorpion, how long had you been on the sight when you played VI as scum and were you successful?

Fair enough, I can see why that looks like WIFOM. I suppose it all depends on how people interpret the village idiot. But seriously, if someone is town, they're not going to intentionally play the village idiot and it should be obvious. Do experienced townies ever come across as the VI? I think that is highly unlikely as they're going to know what they're doing when playing the game.

Apologies. Was away over the bank holiday weekend.

I take back what I said about VI and scum, given that it seems like about half the players in this game have got evidence of playing it and it working ha.
XScorpion wrote:Which of course, doesn't account for WIFOM.

I honestly can't say I agree with your approach, but after this game if you manage to catch scum and I don't then maybe I'll adopt your method.
I don't like this post. It comes across as xScorpion claiming to be town, as well as knowing ODDin's alignment, both of which are scummy. The fact that there are two scum groups clouds this slightly, however, given that scum can catch scum as well and therefore everyone in the game is essentially scumhunting.
Chronopie wrote:Having reread the thread, I dislike the way that mr. sandman jumped on Inhim for jumping on oddin's use of 'better', its sounds, to me, of either a) Chainsaw defence of a scum buddy, or b) scum defending a townie, to earn town cred. (or at least someone not of his faction).
I think you're picking and choosing your targets. I don't like the inconsistency in your play. Why do you dislike the way I 'jump' on inhim, but you have no qualms with the 3 players that raised similar points before me? My point was that I saw a contradiction in what he had said.
Confidanon gave very little reason for placing inhim at L-3, only stating that he disliked inhim's use of word choice as a vote reason. I don't really see why there's much more to say.
Why's it so scummy to place someone at L-3? He did give a reason. Do you have to give more indepth reasons for lynching someone the closer to the lynch they get? I don't see what's any different to ConfidAnon's reason for voting for inHim as anyone elses reason for voting him.

unvote, vote Chronopie


Contradictory arguments are scummy.

I assume that even if ODDin is scum, he's scumhunting too, so at the end of the game I guess we'll see if he manages to discover who his enemies are.

I think there is scum on Inhim's bandwagon. Beefster's argument is absolutely horrible yet people have been flocking to push it.
@Mr. Sandman: any particular reason that you haven't voted beefster despite your many suggestions that he does scummy things?
@Confid: What's your opinion on Beefster and his attack of Inhim? Do you have any reads on people other than Inhim?
@Elscouta: Do you share ODDin's opinion of evaluating strategy over scumtells? If so, why does Inhim's play constitute scum? If not, what scumtells has he given besides the obvious "he voted for the first person to leave RVS?"
@Beefster: Do you care to make an argument against Inhim that isn't filled with hypocrisy?
@All four of you: If Inhim is scum, who is scum with him?

Of the four, if I had to guess at one being scum, I would say Elscouta. I don't like his sudden unvote of easjo, his coaching of Beefster, and his relentless assault on Inhim.
unvote
Vote: Elscouta
No, there is no reason. I don't actually know why I left my vote on inHim because I think my particularly point against him had been cleared up and that people were starting push things unnecessarily. My vote would be on beefster now if my gut wasn't getting a stronger scum vibe coming from Chrono right now and he needs the pressure because he's barely contributing. I would like to push beefster further however, especially given his last post - further evidence of backtracking, admitting his case was weak, and saying that he was surprised that anyone actually believed him. Also, his confession of tunnelling. It's like he admits all the scummy things he's done. I think he's trying too hard to appear as townie and cover his back with all these apologies about his play.

In response to your last question, I don't think inHim looks particularly scummy anymore

inHimshallibe wrote:Some of the assumptions Beefster is making seem very innocent/genuine. Also, the way he thought about his argument, and even rescinded some of it, seems town. I think Elscouta is town for trying to get people to focus (even if it was on me) and that XScorpion is actually town because of the way he was attacking easjo when no one else saw fit to do so. He kept an attack even after he was chided, I believe, and that's definitely townlike.
I think the way beefster rescinds his arguments sounds anti-town. I think it sounds like a scum player who realises that the reasoning he has given is wafer thin, particularly when put to the test, and has thus backed down. If it had happened once, yes, it could be genuine town. It's happened more than once though, making it less likely

So have we reached that point of the game where we all just fling four names out there, with no particular reasoning and hope we come to a lynch? Helpful as a reference point in the future perhaps, but I'd like to see some arguments behind players lists. Particularly Chrono's list.

inHim picked and choosed his targets from those who were on his wagon and ignored those who made the same case?

Also, having looked at the links Scott provided, from those, I think his play style at least seems roughly comparable.

Just noticed some flawed reasoning. Active Lurking is an anti town action. I don't really see how lack of evidence = less scummy. If anything, it should make him look even more scummy.
Agree with this. I don't see how beefster would come to that conclusion after taking into account those reasons.

Beefster's latest move was ridiculous. At this stage, I'm now fairly happy that he is the best lynch for today. I still think Chrono is scummy and my scum read on him hasn't diminished any, however the scumminess coming from Chrono is overshadowed by beefster. I'm not chastising Mr Chaos. I'm asking exactly what in Chrono's last couple of posts are giving him a town vibe because I don't see it.

And no, both scum want other scum dead. I don't think it's unrealistic to think there is the possibility they could be on opposing scum teams.

That still doesn't say anything about what it is that looks town about Chrono.

Unless 7 people vote for a no lynch, we'll have a lynch no matter what happens, will we not?

Why are you saying the only reason you'll vote for beefster is to ensure a lynch, as if to suggest you don't find him particularly scummy but you'd vote him anyway to end the day?

Beefster has to be
asked
to scum hunt, says it all
Chronopie wrote:Sorry about my inactivity. Exams, study, other games in more interesting phases (Such as Massclaim, my own lynch, etc.)

Given Beefster's flip in the other game he's in, and the similarity in playstyle, I'm going to:

Confirm Vote: Beefster
<-- If I had another vote to place, I'd ready the hammer.

In any case Beefster, it's claim time.
Don't worry, it's ok to be scummy if you're not really concentrating on this game? Is that what you want us to stay that?

Karma, I can't see any strong opinion from you on beefster. Just some neutralish comments. Are you leaning scum or town?

Firstly, I don't particularly like the hammer from Karma, given that he had given no previous indication as far as I can see, that he found beefster scummy. He'd been on chaos's case and only really made neutralish comments about beefster, suddenly, when asked his opinion, he drops the hammer.

My opinion of Chronopie hasn't changed any. I still think he's likely scum.

On Chaos, from day 1, the scummiest thing about Chaos was the sudden change of heart about Chrono for no apparent or yet explained reason (I would still like a proper explanation), even when prompted, onto beefster (following chrono's vote on beefster also). I'm not averse to a Chaos - Chrono scum team at the moment. I don't particularly like the way karma is pressing so hard for a Chaos lynch at the moment either, without supporting it with any reasoning. I actually agree with part of karma's reason yesterday for voting Chaos I'd like to hear what it is that's making him quite so certain.

But I have talked about other players, if you do notice.
You haven't. You've pretty much not suspected anyone other than Chaos, apart from your beefster hammer

You've mentioned his name, yes, but you haven't said anything about him.

I think these are your two mentions of him.
Karma wrote:ODDin + Chaos as scumbuddies. Discuss this possibilty.
Karma wrote:Heh. XScorp knows who I am. No telling.

But there's no need for opinions on anyone else today. We need to lynch Chaos and that's that.

Still feeling ODDin + Chaos scumbuddy vibes, with ODDin knowing that he's going to have to bus eventually but keeping his distance for now.
Why's he scummy? Why do you think he could be a Chaos scum buddy? Do you really think people will be influenced by your opinion and vote for them just by you mentioning his name?

vote karma


Your assumption that you'll still be alive tomorrow is a huge scum tell. I don't see any pro-town benefit in waiting a day before you come out with a case.

Karma wrote:Even more reason to suspect an ODDin + Chaos scumteam.

And I see what you're calling a slip on me, Sandman. But there's two things wrong with it:

1. It was a simple mistake. Hell, I don't know if I'll be alive tomorrow.
2. In a game with two scumteams, the scum can't assume they'll be alive tomorrow. So your point is invalid.
1. If you don't know if you'll be alive tomorrow or not, if you're town, why wouldn't you do the pro-town thing and put forward your case today? That part wasn't a mistake. You seem to genuinely not want to reveal your reasons about ODDin till tomorrow.

2. Not necessarily, I think it's all the more significant, given that there is the possibility that one or both scum team's have protective forces.

I agree with this. Genuinely motivated scum hunting detected this, therefore it's likely more reliable than other suggestions and it shouldn't be written off.

ODDin wrote:This is basically appeal to popularity. I have a brain of my own, thank you very much, and I don't think chaos is especially scummy, and thus I'm not intending to vote for him unless my opinion changes. (And logical fallacies, such as appeal to popularity, aren't what's going to change it.)

It is noted, however, that scott is still applying pressure trying to get people to vote for chaos (using logical fallacies, too), and it is also noted how mr sandman has joined this wonderful, helpful and pro-town trend. (Yes, that was sarcasm)
How is it not significant? It's not a case of woohoo let's all go and vote Chaos now, because in itself, it's not reason to vote him, but I don't think you can completely discredit the fact that 3 town players identified Chaos as a threat. Given that there are 4 scum remaining, there seems to me to be a high chance that there are 4 players who are not going to care particularly strongly who gets lynched, as long as it's not them or their scum buddy, therefore the 'scum-hunting' of 4 players is seriously undermined.

And Chrono's post pretty sums up how he has played so far.

Ok, I do think Chaos is scummy for the his sudden reversal on Chrono for no reason, but I think Chrono is even scummier at the moment, and that if Chrono flipped scum, then it would make it more likely that Chaos was also. What do you think of Chrono?

I'm assuming if Chrono got prodded that easjo and Chaos did too, but if not,
mod: request prods on easjo and Chaos.

Neutral-leaning-scummy. He's been lurking since D1, but I get the impression he's just being lazy and not purposefully lurking.
I get the impression the whole 'I'm busier in other games so I can't give this one much time' and 'I forgot about this game' nonsense is just a convenient excuse.

Why? Do you think they're linked on a scum team or just scummy in their own right?

vote Equinox


Just because karma was replaced, it doesn't take away from the fact that karma was scummy. I think it's up to equinox to prove that otherwise, not for give all replacements a clean slate and essentially, start again.

I'm not getting a particularly good feeling from Taz. I don't remember that player slot being overly scummy before but I don't see where all this reluctance is coming from. The vote and then unvote was ridiculous, especially given that he wants to be more 'reserved' this time round. If he hasn't finished reading the thread as he says, I don't see where this need to post his indecisions is coming from.

I remain suspicious of chrono and would support a lynch there also

Equinox (2) XScorpion, Mr.Sandman
drmyshottyizsik (3) Scott Brosius, Hinduragi, Tazaro
(No vote) Chronopie, Scott Brosius, Equinox, ODDin, drmyshottyizsik
9 alive. 5 votes lynch.
Equinox wrote:Regarding the votes: I cannot explain Karma's actions, for I am not Karma. If you feel this slot is the correct lynch for the day, I will not object. What I ask is to give me a chance to at least post my impressions and pressure whomever I feel needs pressuring, and when I'm done collecting data, I'm fine with being lynched to give the rest of you the confidence to go on with the game. kthx
I don't like this at all. I understand the first sentence. Most of the rest seems illogical. If it will give you confidence to lynch me, then go ahead? That looks like an attempt to appear pro-town but misses the vital point, that the town don't actually want to lynch a townie, therefore it would be a much more townie thing to do if you defended yourself rather than giving yourself up for a lynch.
Equinox wrote:Oh, hey. I just realized something.

9 players -- 4 scum, 5 townies -- 5 to lynch.

One vote on a townie, and you'll have 4 people from both scum teams jumpin' on.
Excellent...


I'm not actually certain of this, as those 4 will go under fire tomorrow assuming town isn't decimated overnight. Still, it's something to think about.

Unless you are absolutely certain you are comfortable ending the game day right now, I suggest unvoting. If you're town, you want to hear me out; I know you do. If you're scum, well, stay there and wait for Animal Control to come pick you up. <3
You say noone's going to quick lynch... and then you ask people to unvote you in case they do. The chances of a quick lynch right now are limited.

Tazaro follow's up Hindaguri's suspicion of Chaos nicely, with that vote out of the blue, as pointed out by Equinox, ironically. Steals one argument from Hinduragi, and the other one about L-3 isn't even that scummy to me.

I look forward to seeing shotty's views when they eventually come and I would be up for putting more pressure on Chrono soon if he fails to get 'engaged' with the game soon.

Tazaro wrote:Just because scum is bussing other scum (because they feel that the "other scum" are necessary liabilities to target) doesn't mean that we shouldn't vote for the scum that is being bussed. I didn't talk about easjo when I was discussing the individual who was giving me a disturbing gut feeling (Karma) and the individual who was giving me intellectual suspicion (Mr. Chaos), easjo is more of a second rate suspect. But since Hinduragi replaced easjo and Hinduragi just made a case against Mr. Chaos, I think that easjo/Hinduragi being a suspect who is bussing Mr. Chaos is a real thing to ponder.
Did you come across any other reason to suspect Hinduragi on your reread other than his bussing?

No, I think it's normal to keep you at L-3. I think everyone should vote for who they wish to vote for at the moment, providing it doesn't put someone in immediate danger of a lynch, and that will aid discussion. I don't think you're in danger of a lynch at the moment.

And even then, if someone wants to put someone else in danger of a lynch, that will provide discussion in itself.

Equinox wrote:Mr.Sandman: That was not the question I asked. I asked, was it normal for Tazaro to unvote Equinox out of some chivalrous intent and deny drmyshottyizsik that same benefit? Tazaro's vote would have put Equinox at L-3; Tazaro's vote put drmyshottyizsik at L-3. There's a double standard here.

XScorpion: I'm not done reading the thread. I have my suspects (ODDin and Mr. Chaos), but as it's based on an incomplete picture, I'd rather not vote. I'll still question however I feel is necessary, though.

Tazaro: I apologize if my questioning is irritating, but I am not singling you out specifically. I question where I feel I need to push for more.
Ah I misunderstood. No, it is a double standard. His unvote of you was ridiculous. I don't like the way he keeps presenting the option today as a straight choice between you or shotty either.

Why do you talk about yourself in the third person?

Just as it worked out, I didn't manage to post since before the doctor claim :-/ Worked to my advantage though

I would like to hear from dr why he claimed doctor...
