hey lam! (and auro/volx!)
Why mention one player in your RVS post but then RV someone else completely? Why did you choose random to vote?

by this do you mean you're not gonna vote for the whole day...? How do you expect the day to go then?In post 11, snowbeast wrote:I'm not psychic - yet. Will hold my vote for a day until I understand this game a bit more-

Nah it's a legit question a) we're hardly out of RVS anyway, b) I can imagine scum feeling weird about voting /not voting a partner, sure it might not be the best question in the world but I was curious when I read it so
The one to snowbeast it should be obvious why I'm asking
The one to FL is mostly cos they seem very passive and I'm curious as to whether this will continue-

that last part seems weird to me, I find it incredibly helpful to see other people's reads be they scum or town
if nothing else it encourages accountability and makes it harder for scum as it's more difficult for them to seem town, because they have to justify reads changing as well as who they're voting in the first place, both of which are much easier for town to do
Also, it means that eg my town read on you can be pushed at by other players and my mind might be changed or the read might be further cemented. you say I shouldn't bring it up unless I need to stop someone getting wagoned, but that misses the point that my reads aren't 100% or anything. besides, catching scum by process of elimination is legit. I don't see anything wrong with being open (also, how does it make mafia kills easier?? not following that)-

And whether or not the vote is at all AI isn't the only point, it's whether or not scum/town might respond differently to being asked about an RVS vote, which I think they mightIn post 90, lionheart1492 wrote:

VOTE: Flavour Leaf
Having trouble seeing a huge amount of town motivation behind his posts. Sure, PoE is legit (I think I said that earlier lol), but he's doing it in a way which seems to me too passive, plus, it's an easy way to not have a huge responsibility for a lynch (sure, it's probably too early on for that to happen, but still). Unsure why he's outing that this is to force a split between Lam and NM, maybe I'm missing something but struggling to see the point of stating that outright. He said a few pages ago that he'd post more/be more active to help a slow game come along, but he's not followed up on that.
FL, you say yr pretty certain that there's scum in NM and Lam, is that purely due to PoE? Wanna say a bit more about that?-

I'm not seeing the reason behind Volx/lion being TvT. In my (limited) experience/reading, TvT seems to be more likely when 2 people are at loggerheads against each other, but Volx has been more passively responding to lion, rather than properly going at it... most of his posts are talking about others' reactions towards him, with a few questions thrown out, but little of his own content (as in like content which he's created, rather than just being responsive to people talking about him)
I'm not including the stuff on other games here, that reads kinda just like fluff to me, like what's the point of saying 'in this game I'm gonna spend lots of time sorting Auro, and here is a bunch of info from other games which justifies it' (51, 73)? Like even if you felt like you needed to justify it (which I'm also a bit uncertain why you felt the need to), going into so much detail about other games feels like padding yr posts, rather than engaging with this game a lot.
Volx, what's your read on Auro at this point?-

To clarify my vote on FL a bit more, it's largely down to a) PoE which strikes me as worrying, particularly given passivity elsewhere, b) saying earlier that he'd help the slow start by being more active (69) but not really following through. If 69 hadn't been posted it wouldn't be an such an issue-

nb I find the whole 'I'll see what happens with person x vs person y' thing a bit weird, rather than just wading in, particularly if there's the worry of tvt
that is, like it's passive I guess
also nb, if FL is mafia I might wanna look at Yuri, that sudden vote was weird timing wise, tho I'll feel better if she gives justification
auro, why the sheep?-

Not liking volx, FL, or snowbeast, I reckon there's scum there somewhere: volxen, Flavor Leaf, LameesAuro (L-2)
: Ariane, AuroFlavor Leaf (L-3)
: YurikoJasmineAriane (L-4)
: Not_MafiaYurikoJasmine (L-4)
snowbeast, lionheart1492
Will give more detailed reasons later (at work rn), but they all seem to be playing to/from mechanics rather than reads, which seems like an easy way to explain a misslichen if they're on it /advocate for it
dunno if that makes sense, I'll be on later this eveningLast edited by MiniDeathStar on Tue Nov 20, 2018 8:00 pm, edited 1 time in total.-

The but I'm not talking about just talking mechanics but basing reads on them
Like FL's recent stuff is just weird, like he was townreading you and me but then is like 'well one of you is scum cos nobody else has voted therefore', and I dunno since it's not based on play he's got an easy explanation if it's a mislynch
not so obvious with snow, but see for example
he can't judge character so he'll look for voting patterns rather than play. same sitchIn post 126, snowbeast wrote:So back from my overnight hiking and have reread this thread twice.
As my first game I and not knowing any of you from a bar of soap I cannot judge your character, only thing I am looking for is two or three players moving in the same direction as the mafia need only two of us to believe them to get a lynch.
Pedit: dunno, don't have a solid read on her, I'll try to get one later tonight-

So I just find FL's playing here weird, tho I'm glad he's posting more. Vote staying on him for now, though.
'The case is valid but I'm town so I've nothing to say'
'One of Auro/Ariane is scum cos nobody else has voted and scum jump on the opp to vote me'—lazy reasoning imo, and also... has anyone here played with FL before? Why do you think scum would (know to?) vote you? Or is this a 'scum always vote ICs' kind of a thing? Again strange, don't follow the reasoning and—this is what I'm talking about w/ mechanics as an excuse—a way to vote (engage in the game like I accused him of not doing) without really analysing play
Although to be fair he's doing that more now, not sure how honest I find it but I'll need to have another look
On Auro's wagon:Volxen, FL, Lamees, snowbeast99.999999% certain there's scum there, it built up too quickly. Also the three in my earlier 'scum's probably here' pool (250) are all on there lolol, go figure
FL, you figured one of me/Auro had to be scum cos of the voting thing. In fact, you were pretty certain ("That’s a shame. I was town reading both Auro and Ariana. Guess i was wrong somewhere." 164). Does that mean you're now certain I'm scum, since "I think you’re town, Auro" (318)? I mean this is like PoE with only two participants, like the easiest thing in the world. Why aren't you voting me?
Nah, I think I'm staying on FL. This strikes me as too much of a compromise, and I don't like them, particularly when I'm scumreading one of the participants. In my limited experience, compromise lynches don't tend to hit scumIn post 320, Auro wrote:
You weren't my favorite lynch anyway -- I was noting that your activity in other games has been down too.In post 318, Flavor Leaf wrote:VOTE: Volxen

I think you’re town, Auro. Give me a chance to show that I’m town. I have zero reason as scum to come in and post right now, let alone unvote you when I’m the next biggest wagon.
I'll be happy to vote Volxen. Ariane, what do you think?-

To recap, FL's actions look like this:
1. not really interacting/contributing
2. 'Auro or Ari is scum'—said with seeming certainty
3. 'Auro isn't scum'
Now, what would make sense here is:
4. 'Ari is scum'.
Why am I so suspicious that he's not done this? I'll tell you—because statement 2 was based on mechanics/voting counts. Note that this, for FL, completely overrided his 'reads' based on play/character. Therefore, since Auro is town, I shouldn't be able to get out of FL scum reading me through towny posting, or whatever. Yet, he's not voting me. Why?
FL's stuff here strikes me as using a flimsy excuse to find scumreads, but the excuse itself has disappeared, and there's no justification for that.
After leaving Auro, he goes on to vote Volxen, pairing it with 'oh Auro is town'. As said above, this should mean by his own admission, that he's reading mestronglyas scum. But he's not. The closest he comes to it is saying that one of me/NM is probably scum. But, like I've said, he should be pretty confident it's me.
So-

Not only that, he asks Auro which lynch he wants. This is compromise lynching, and I seenotown motivation behind it at all.-

don't quite follow this—this wasn't an attempt to make sure it continued, I just legit got a towny feeling from volxIn post 441, Flavor Leaf wrote:I’m wanting to lynch within Volxen and Ariana.
Ariana’s talking of Volxen directly made it so she wants Volxen vs FL to continue, and chose Volxenms side despite Volxen having rather weak yet fluffy filled posts.-

For me I'm not disliking Lam's posts atm.
@performer, given you said "It looks very much like volx & FL are opposite alignments" (482), will you be voting FL today then?
Oh, and lion is in the top category there as well, altho I think I'm finding Auro townier than lion, the latter seems to have faded a bit. Still a tr tho-

You'll all note earlier that the FL wagon did *not* take off—sure it went up to L-2 but it took a while
That was me, Auro, and NM later on, and I at least townread all of us (tho more uncertain on the latter)
Given FL said that scum don't hesitate to vote him (still unsure why this was a thing?), and that it was a bit of a slow build in comparison to eg. Auro, sure, one of us could be scum, but more likely FL is
That seems to explain the wagon much more to me
@FL any response to all the stuff I said on you? Others gave reasons to not swing this way, but I'd like to hear from you, particularly questions I directed to you
dunno hope I'm not tunnelling too hard, but
PEdit: FL I don't like, as evidenced before and above
tbh, my scumread on you/Yuri was sparked by Yuri's post where she voted me directly after my case of FL (139), without referencing that case at all, but for a different reason. That struck me as weird, cos if she'd either expanded, or done it as a comment on my case being bad, that would've been fine, but without relation to either of those I was thinking it could've been new scum defending her partner
Actually I should probably look at associatives between FL and you, given my read was started on it. The thing of yrs I quoted above makes me think that it's less likely... sorry, my reads are not as solid/well-thought through as I'd like this game-

could also see FL and snow, if that's the case I imagine we'll see him push strongly for a you/me lynch
I'm uncomfortable with the way my choosing between non-town reads (because, save FL, they're more that than scum reads) is heavily based on associatives atm. Trying to fix that as I'm reading and posting rn-

If I get dead I encourage you all to look at FL's posts, and the way he doesn't respond much to my questions/arguments
PEdit lol I was about to say 'what predecessor' I'd completely forgotten I'd replaced in
Yeah this was earlier on so it defs wasn't a hard stance. Like I said, my worry about Yuri strengthened as my scumread on FL strengthened. Not sure how much has transferred over to you, tbh, which is my bad, fair shake-

On a reread of snow's iso, leaning more towards him than performer. Aware that this probs makes me look opportunistic, but whatever. Recommendation to look at FL and snow tomoz
his ISO is bad. it's waffly, and there's more on info rather than reads (there's a term for this I think?), and only taking hard stances/votes on safe bets.
I dunno maybe he could be newb town. Not convinced.
as for the associative, more of FL's play than snow's, and it's weak, but like he hardly ever talks about snow, except to put him in a lynch pool a couple of times (note: never talks about him by himself), and only puts forward a read on him after Auro like, almost, gives the go ahead lol (318). I've also already said in detail why I don't like this post
Anyway there's where I'm at. More uncertain than I'd like, also might be tunnelling.-

Necessarily short because I'm going to bed, but from what I recall of reading that they're decently vlaid points, but separate from the points I was making, so while they've merit I don't think they're enough to override my vote
going from memory cos I'm falling asleep, but things: a) omgus like three times, b) the initial one—saying he'll further town activity and then not doing so till he's called out, c) reads based on 'in my experience, x amount of scum tends to do y, or a amount of a wagon tends to be b' kinda stuff, which is an easy get out of gaol free card, so..., d) not responding to questions, e) that really weird exchange with you about snow and volx
also just tone I guess. dunno. Like I said, I might be tunnelling, I don't know. willling to vote snow also-

also, yeah, I think a wagon could've been pushed on me. I haven't been the worst this game, but also not the best.
Can I have examples of working with others? I've maybe missed things.
re. the PoE reasoning, the point was that he had a scumpool of two. Then, one of the two (you), merited a town read. But......he didn't vote the other one (me)?? that's my problem.
I'm really not ok with people not voting me when, according to their own reasoning, they should be. Given I know I'm town (gah I'm sorry thats' such an overused statement...), the only reason they're not voting me is a) they've changed their mind, in which case they shouuld say so, and FL didn't, b) they don't think a lunch is possible, which I don't think is actually the case here, or c) they're scum
pdit lolol
a lot of us don't like snow, not so much their lack of activity, but the stuff they've posted the few times they've been here, do an iso hey
ppedit: NM do an iso or see a case, whatever
......lam, if you can't remember who snow is.....it really makes yr townread less legit
and also you-

ok I'm gonna need to think on the lam/snow thing. not sure if careless town or scum
@Auro have a look at FL's iso. like ctrl-f "VOTE:"
I've been the only constant scumread of his since I first voted him. He's never voted me. Like he's cycled through 'Auro or Ariane' 'NM or Ariane' 'Volxen AND Ariane'
and he's never voted me, not once. He's never even pushed for a lunch. (NB i much prefer that term lolol)
The last is particularly egregious, given it was an 'and' not an 'or'. He thinks tracker claim is legit. Why isn't he voting me? Who's my partner?
Oh, and, also, been meaning to say this, if any of us are Neapolitan, claim now. There's no scenario in which neo and tracker happen. If yr neo, then Volx is scum, and you should probs out that. (Also if anyone's tracker, but I fig that's obvious)-
