Newbie 1984 - Game Over

[72offsuit]

Hi all,

This is my 2nd game of forum mafia. My first game was with dsjstr (DSJ).

Everyone knows that pikachu does NOT wear a hat. A sheep in wolf's clothing if I ever saw one.

VOTE: VOTE: vote: Detective Pikachu (who I shall dub 'DP' henceforth)

[72offsuit]

Hello people.

Hi all,
A sheep in wolf's clothing if I ever saw one.

So we're going to lynch actual sheep then just because they look wolfy?

Astute observation, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that

[72offsuit]

omgusing this early into the game? Bold strategy

Interestingly in my last game the player omgusing on me in RVS stage flipped scum. Though Id say its probably non-alignment indicative (NAI)
What is everyone's thoughts on omgus votes?

Hey, does everyone mind asking some questions? I want to try RQS (Random Questioning Stage) this game for fun. It's some fun harmless questions which has potential to start discussion. Appreciate if everyone answers. I'm well-versed in Pikapika, so I can translate what Detective Pikachu says.

0) Are you town or scum?
1) Do you prefer playing town or scum?
2) What is your experience with playing mafia?
3) If you could have a super power, what would you pick?
4) What is your ideal location to live in?
5) How excited are you to play this game?
6) If you could ask other players another question, what would that question be?[/quote]

0) Town

1) Town - i prefer figuring out logic puzzles. I enjoy card and board games that involve hidden roles such as bang,

I also like mafia - bluffing can be fun, duh.. I love poker but I find prolonged deception can be stressful.

2) ive played 1 forum game, and ive played fast paced mafia on epicmafia.

3) Flight

4) Melbourne

5) Exciting is a bit of a strong word for forum mafia. Excited, no. Looking forward to some fun and a casual game.

6) No particular one question i would ask. Depends on the context of the game, but basically anything i think requires clarification

ROUND ONE

@Detective Pikachu
1. I can't work out if you're trying to be serious or not
2. Why are dsjstr, Natsu and I considered scummy?
3. Normally a weird post like this would be considered scummy, listing everyone like you're so smart and not even giving justification? But then again I can't work out if you're scum or just making a bad play.

Why would you not think the reads based off RVS are genuine?
Because you dislike the results of said reads?

[72offsuit]

I'm guessing you are trying to get an actual vanilla townie newb to be like "hey, it shouldn't say town goon!" and then vote for you because you look like a terrible scum player who just tipped their hand.

Hey, Natsu. Why do you think scum would employ this strategy?

Specifically to out a town role from someone who contests you. Might make PR hunting easier somehow. No one took the bait though. I don't necessarily see it as scummy at this point in time. As for the questions:

0. Town (finally)
1. I think I prefer playing as town. Too early to tell.
2. I've played two games on this site, both flawless mafia games. Also some Town of Salem and a little irl stuff.
3. Going back in time.
4. The virtual world
5. A fair bit.

I'm getting a bit of a bad vibe off this post.
a) The "finally" seems very forced
b) I don't get why its too early to tell. You give me the feelings of a player who has played mafia (in whatever form be it IRL or fast-browser based mafia) a fair bit. I'd be very surprised for someone to not know what alignment they prefer playing as.

[72offsuit]

This is a decent thought-process. You have earned a Townie point, well done.

Trying to "earn townie points" is mafia modus operandi 101. Why is this a "well done"? Town goal is to identify scum.

[72offsuit]

Woah woah we're at L-1 already and just woke up in the morning.
DP is obviously either scum or not a great player. This is probably the same with Hectic. The thing is they both seem so authentically mediocre that I would be impressed with any scum managing to fake play the way they do. I'm happy with policy lynches not on D1 and definitely not on the first day of D1. I also have reason to suspect at least one of the wagoners of being mafia. This is a very common tactic that mafia use - getting town to vote for the bad players instead of scum. Analysing the wagoners on Hectic.

@ROUND ONE, your post appears to be fairly non-suspect, you simply voted for him because you felt he was a bad player, although I personally wouldn't have gone so far as to vote for him.

this seems extremely disingenuous based on tone + timing, can you explain your intentions with this post?

I agree with DK. The tone does seem forced. Would likewise like some clarification.
Do you feel like a hammer was actually imminent?

[72offsuit]

block done
is anyone here to talk to or

also these day lengths god

Its a maximum not a requirement

yeah, majority is a thing I know
the issue is people tend to not want to hammer unless its further through the game or late game

No sense to rush, the more time spent discussing the better. Dangle that noose for scum to slip their neck through.

[72offsuit]

I actually kinda like Natsu's answers.

Why'd you unvote, Doro? And to answer your question: if it's a vague indirect reference to an on going game, would probably not mention it. But otherwise, I'd let them know they shouldn't be doing that.

WHY do you "kinda like" natsu's answers?

[72offsuit]

*yawn* dp is condescending as fuck god

Don't really like this post - after DK has voiced annoyance at DP's gimmicky posting
and AC has criticised DP's town-to-scum-scale based off his RVS reads
- drumming up anti-pikachu vibes rather than pointing out any scummyness

[72offsuit]

Hey, friends!

I'm quite new, so is it okay if I lurk this game and try to learn from the more experienced people? Also, should we mass claim? It could be useful to talk about who we target in the night. I will start: I am the Town Goon. I am not allowed to target anyone in the night.

VOTE: 72offsuit

If we convince town to lynch one of the SE's today then we can NK the other

Lol.. love the gif. Well that would be different from last game, where all 3 SE's went to the last day 3-way lylo

[72offsuit]

Mostly for 28 tbh. I agree with most of the thoughts in 184, but maybe I'm being buddyed. He just hasn't done anything wrong so far. What don't you like?

I fail to see why you like his post 28.

Last game I played, the "placeholder vote" - "ill park my vote here for now, for no good reason at all" - sort of vote , ended up being a vote by scum.
And i think this kind of move is scummy. I think townies are more likely to change their mind and shift their votes organically, rather than b stilted, which i think is scummy.

[72offsuit]

Why are you scumreading me, then?

0 solving

Based entirely on RVS posts, which is what I said before.

I'm pretty sure we have moved past RVS - my definition of RVS phase anyway. Players have stated FoSes and have switched votes.
There is now some, yes limited, but some material to go off now

[72offsuit]

Town at top
DK
DP
DJS
Hectic
R1, Natsu
Luca
AC
Scum at bot

DK - p41 where he dislikes DP's annoying gimmicks, agree with his read of AC's scummy p49

DP - genuinely feel like he is trying to game solve amongst the gimmicky fluff

DJS - Null tell, all round NAI posts pretty much. I don't see DJS's vote on the wagon as scummy, but rather mostly NAI, if anything towny. That vote would be an ultra ballsy/gambity move as scum. From the game i played with DJS, i just dont feel like that's a move he would make as scum

Hectic - finding it very hard to read him. Like him posting his reads of players, but simply disagree with some of the reads. Undecided at this stage.

R1 – p111 jumping on board the anti-pikachu sentiment
P114 – being hypocritical – essentially nitpicking about DPs nitpicking

Natsu - p95 I got a bad vibe off the post, rubbed me the wrong way, seemed a bit disingenuous

Luca - fluff galore, lurking, d\basically doing squat for an SE-rank player. Buddying up / brown-nosing players in p81 and p82

Arthur - p45 where he oddly dislikes reads - sitting on the fence and hedging your bets is scummy. Posting reads is pro-town, no matter how early. Scummy post.
- doesn;t really care about 5 other players, doesnt ask why for example i am green at the top of DPS RVS stage reads. Seems mainly interested about himself ---- scummy.
- p49: scummy post, see DK's analysis
- p61: No order to 5 players? All equal in rank? Just seems weird to me, that 5 players can all be on the same level of town-scum. Why post a town-scum scale if there is no scale? O.o

[72offsuit]

Choo choo, chugga chugga choo choo!

Anyone boarding the AC ArthurConyl express wagon?

VOTE: ArthurConyl

[72offsuit]

Also don;t like Luca's vote on DP without even ISOing other players and re-reading everything.

Agree with DP - we arent looking for you to have a 1v1 OMGUS stoush, but rather your reads on all the players

[72offsuit]

Woah woah we're at L-1 already and just woke up in the morning.

I felt that was completely unnecessary and faking contribution

If you thought that AC post was scummy, then hop onto the shiny AC lynch train

[72offsuit]

This is ridiculous. Im still on page 12 -_-

[72offsuit]

Why aren't you answering the RQS, Arthur and Luca?

Because at least one of them rolled scum and possibly both

B

This is not saying you're scum because you didn't answer rqs, it's saying you didn't answer rqs because you're scum. And it was also half joking

notice how his scumreads are the people hectic called out for absolutely no reason
interesting

The interplay between Hectic and Pikachu has been sending off alarms in my head. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed it. I guess it's because all the SE's have played with each other before. Pikachu is really reaching in most of his scumreads, and seems to be crafting narratives out of nothing.

@72offsuit, honestly look at Pikachu's iso and tell me how on earth you see it as being a townread? He looks like a sharper version of my scum partner from last game.

Slight TR on DP was that:
1) Mainly I agreed with his scum-read on yourself and the explanations he provided - as per p220.
2) I agreed with him in p258 Re: luca at that stage doing 0 solving p

Only negative was the gimmicky filler spamming at that stage.

Why would you not think the reads based off RVS are genuine?
Because you dislike the results of said reads?

This is a leading question and feels like a misrep as well - Arthur has a problem with the lack of explanation, not the fact they were based on RVS.

Yes, it was a leading question, no Its not a misrep.
I wanted him to respond and wanted to read his reaction - eg to see if he would be defensive, to see if he would say i was putting words in his mouth etc

[72offsuit]

Btw 72, fluff galore? I feel you’re massively exaggerating. Lurking? That is an assumption. I’ve been busy recently and only have time to post in spurts, as I’m doing currently.

Choo choo, chugga chugga choo choo!

Anyone boarding the AC ArthurConyl express wagon?

VOTE: ArthurConyl

I can’t help but feel Arthur is an easy target based on what he’s posted so far. It’s not spectacular, but I don’t see anything patricianly scummy about it, and I liked the tone of his defiant post greeting the thread.

You seem to TR Pikachu, so is there any reason you chose to go in another direction rather than join my wagon?

I didnt specifically scum read you. All i had was lurking from you. Your afk seems genuine though and your catch up has been good. I wanted to put more pressure on you by FoSing you.
I thought and still do think that AC/Ima is a better lynch.

[72offsuit]

@Hectic/72

I notice you both TR Koba for being irritated with Pikachu’s gimmick. Could you explain why this is Town-indicative?

Pretty much what hectic said. in p333.

[72offsuit]

Luca – Overall I like his catch up after him being away.
- Agree with Luca’s p310 re: null read on DK, changed since my last reads list.
- Agree with his analysis of Natsu – see above

DSJ
Very slight TR on DSJ mainly due to p351 about asking for an opinion on the rest of his reads list, but largely counterbalanced by the lurking and very little content.
Re: his reads list - Don’t see why he thinks R1 is town, think his other reads seem reasonable. Agree w him Re: natsu’s scumminess.

DP – p511 rehash to keep all my reads in 1 post:
Slight TR on DP 1) Mainly I agreed with his scum-read on yourself and the explanations he provided - as per p220.
2) I agreed with him in p258 Re: luca at that stage doing 0 solving
Only negative was the gimmicky filler spamming at that stage.

Since then the thread kinda devolved with his argument with Luca. Not sure y but it kinda feels like town v town, really unsure though. Have seen this kind of nonsense occasionally on epicmafia, just seems much more unlikely in forum mafia, but ive only played 1 previous game.

Hectic – agree with his p322 Re: liking Luca’s catch up
P352Agree with his TR on DSJ at this stage, but only marginally

DK – initially seemed slightly town, and had been TR by a few players, and then he suddenly started lurking after the TRs. Scummy vibe, that he went AFK after being TR.
p386 just rubbed me the wrong way regarding his stance on R1.
Of the 8 remaining players, he only has posted a read on AC/IMA, TRs on R1, DP, hectic.... barely elaborates at all on these reads.

R1 – a lot of spamming filler. Mentioning scum team analysis, just seems pretty useless this early (p286, p290)
P297: Posts reads list - Doesn’t really provide much info as to why she is TRing me, has AC as the top TR??? I fail to see how that can be the case.

Natsu – agree with Luca’s p303, p307 regarding natsu’s filler posts, and natsu’s fence-sitting
- p324: states he has a “hard time reading” me – zero clarification. Doesn’t scum read or TR any of my posts. Also TRs R1 with zero clarification – the wording of seems “townie enough to me” REALLY rubs me the wrong way - I get a really bad vibe from this line
Arthur rehashed from p275
- p45 where he oddly dislikes reads - sitting on the fence and hedging your bets is scummy. Posting reads is pro-town, no matter how early. Scummy post.
- doesn;t really care about 5 other players, doesnt ask why for example i am green at the top of DPS RVS stage reads. Seems mainly interested about himself ---- scummy.
- p49: scummy post, see DK's analysis
- p61: No order to 5 players? All equal in rank? Just seems weird to me, that 5 players can all be on the same level of town-scum. Why post a town-scum scale if there is no scale? O.o

IMA’s reads list:
Agree with IMA’s reads on Natsu as scum and Luca as town
Disagree with R1 as top TR
Completely ignores myself and DK.. just randomly shoves us 2 in the middle of his scale

Interestingly, sees DP as his #2 scum target, yet happy to vote with him for Natsu.

Pikachu: "Why is Luca posting everywhere on site except here? Why doesn't he care about this game?"

Luca: "WHY ARE YOU SCUMREADING ME FOR NOT ANSWERING RQS QUESTIONS????????"

Pikachu: "Actually I just don't really see you interacting here, but if you've been busy then I'm curious about your solve."

Luca: "YOU'RE MISREPPING ME! YOU SHOULD TOWNREAD ME FOR NOT GIVING A SHIT ABOUT THIS GAME!!!!"

Fuck off

If you're town you're never endgame material for me at this point so what's the difference

I'm definitely not caught up on today's post but the first one I seen was dp saying theybv havent misrepresented luca.

The post I quoted jumped into my mind when i seen that.

What would be his be categorized as to everyone?

To be honest, have totally ignored this pissing contest between the two. It just made my interest in this game like 50 percent to what it was earlier on.

All im taking from their discourse is they are not on the same team.

Im not going to waste another millisecond trting to figure out alignment from it.

If you want to SR me for that, be my guest.

[72offsuit]

@ IMASPY - I would like clarification regarding your link between Natsu and Hectic as scum team. I SR natsu, but not hectic atm.
Ive reread and get why you SR natsu, but not y y SR hectic, nor a libk between them. Can you clarify it for me?

[72offsuit]

I have no idea who natsu's partner is, I kinda am dreaming I get nightkilled by the scum to shut me up but that's probably too optimistic given the wagon, but it'd be nice if we could get back on that

If you are town, and are not the lynch for today, there is like 0 percent chance you will be the night kill. Seriously....

[72offsuit]

Still see imaspy as the best lynch atm.
seems to simply b voting the players most likely to be lynched,
Plenty of overall sentiment for a natsu lynch and a DP lynch.

I did you a chance. I have read all your posts since coming into the game. I still think you are scum.

Ive reread and get why you SR natsu, but not y y SR hectic, nor a libk between them. Can you clarify it for me?

My scum read on hectic is pretty unimportant at the moment. We need to focus on the 1 lynch we get today. Funny enough all 3 of my scum reads have gotten townie points since my initial reads post. Natsu has gone slightly above pikachu, and hectic is still my 3rd scum read, but im not even thinking about lynching them today. The only 2 im really interested in lynching today is DP or Natsu.

I was reading natsu as scum the most from the start and between all the interactions i felt hectic was the most likely to be their partner. Its possible that Natsu's(if maf) partner really interacted with natsu..

How is elaborating a scumread on hectic irrelevant. We still have 4 days. Just because you aren;t thinking of lynching hectic doesn't mean others aren't.
Evaluating your scumreading of hectic reflects on your alignment as well as on natsu's if you think there is a significant link between them.

[72offsuit]

Yes, it sucks to replace into a scummy slot.
Particularly if you are scum.

You own your slot and it is up to you to convince everyone SRing you otherwise. So far im not convinced and still believe you to be the best lynch.

He emphasizes a townread on Luca, who hasn't actually joined the wagon on him and who was at the time still voting his counter-wagon

I am pretty sure I didn't TR Luca until much more recently, are you saying I am now TRing him after he jumped on your wagon?

@Spy I still don't see how you would assume you would be killed when there are far more obv-town people who have never been voted for a considerable length.

This post is giving me a bad vibe.
It sounds like you are saying you cant Remember what sort of read You had on luca. I would expect you to have at least some feel for where playersie on the town to scum scale. Only scum has to 'remember'.

It's a famous Mark Twain quote:

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything

Its like you arent looking for tells, but are rather just artificially coming up with reads.

This seems like a disingenuous interpretation, though, and easy points scoring.

I always say things like 'I think' and' 'I'm pretty sure' when I actually know something for certain.

I feel like you're the one eyeing up the suspected slots right now.

VOTE: 72

Hardly. I posted my scumreads of AC/Natsu/R1 and urself back on pg12, p275. 0 votes on natsu at that stage.
So you stating im eyeing suspected slots is total BS.

[72offsuit]

I don't like 72's Spy vote at the bottom of that page - it's at odds with the impression I got from Spy's recent posts, and the reasoning is pretty forced. Pikachu and Natsu have been the two most dubious slots in the game imo, so pushing both of them doesn't seem strange from my pov.

I also like how Spy is developing their reads based on further interactions, which 72 isn't taking into account.

Why do you not like my vote on IMASPY? I was already voting for him. He just wanted me to change it under his name, which i thought was fair enough, as he has clearly put time into this game. You stating you dont like my vote makes ZERO sense though. I was already voting for him.

[72offsuit]

I don't like the fact that between the last meaningful post of p660 and the current posts, the most you redig from rereading, is viewing my revoting of the slot im already actually voting as being scummy.

[72offsuit]

I'm not shading, I've already stated several times that I'm happy with a Natsu lynch. How is that shading?

[72offsuit]

If you can't relate to my read, I can understand that.

But your comments Re: shading and eyeing off easy lynches is not legit

[72offsuit]

So what is your definition of shading?

[72offsuit]

Right now it sounds like your definition is a scumread that you dont agree with

[72offsuit]

Ok, well by that definition that makes more sense

[72offsuit]

I understood it more as casting doubt, without backing it up - not putting your money where your mouth is.

[72offsuit]

Natsu, you seem very passive despite being the main wagon. Why is this?

I’m still considering the possibility that you might be Town, but you seem to have given up.

There's not much left for me to say. Several players have me massively scumread for what I think amounts to silly reasons. We'll probably lynch scum by day 2 no matter what though. Also, I'm still not actually over my sickness by any means.

What we (or at least me anyway) were looking for was more expansion on your reads of others and if you think their scumreads and townreads on others (other than on yourself) are legit in you eyes.

My impression is that you've mainly been focusing on votes and interactions on yourself.

If you are in fact town, then i guess for next game try and focus more on analysing other players reads i reckon. Though take it with a grain of salt, taking advice from a noob lol. At least for mine, i would probably have town read you more.

Idk whats going on in this game... I can kinda see Detective pikachu and dkkoba being a scumteam. Its just DP has talked so much and DkKoba has talked so little. My previous experiences with dkkoba has been alot of talking from them on each occasion. However, both of those games were limited replacement type games so i cant really bank on that too much. And they did kinda address that they are trying to slow down on here. Which would make sense when i factor in the last 2 experiences.

I want to give my new Reads list

Luca is still my top town read
Round 1 is still my second as well.
John Marv is my town null read atm
72 and Dk are both null scum lean to me still. 72 i kinda dont understand why they are still scumreading me. Im more iffy on them.
Hectic
DP
Natsu

My bottom 3 have gained town points but not even those town points were enough to catch up to the null reads of 72 and DK

The longer this day goes the less im gonna be sure of anything. We need some kind of information. We absolutely dont want a PR out on day 1 so thats out of the question. We need to show intent on somebody for real. We havent had anyone in real danger of being lynched.

This seems like a very reasonable summary. I do get townie vibe from this post. Am also wary of DK, the lurking after being TR.

Your willingness to change your mind is I guess a townie thing to do, updating your reads as you go, even if there were not many changes.

At this stage i think I now prefer a Natsu lynch, though ill await on John Marv's views of the game.

[72offsuit]

Skimmed through the thread, here are current reads;

{Pikachu}
{IMASPY, Natsu, Hectic}
{72, R1} - null
{DkK}
{Luca}

Will read through more thoroughly and give cases in a few.

@IMASPY, DkK, Pika, Luca, reasons for the Natsu wagon?

Lol. 3 top TRs are the top 3 wagons.
Definitely not what i would do if i was replacing in to a scum slot. If you are scum kudos to you.

tl;dr - scum is within {dsjstr

Town
Me
Arthur
72

Null (top is town-null,bottom is scumnull)
DK
Natsu

Scumreads
Luca
DP
Hectic

Naturally im sure the nullreads are town *for now*, but in a case I had to lynch between them id pick Natsu

I don't really understand the speedhammer given this reads list

[72offsuit]

I'd say John Marv is probs town, given he voted me when he could have easily pushed more on an already started wagon

[72offsuit]

I give credit to the earlier voters on the natsu wagon - I'd say DK and DP are town.

I dont give as much credit to Luca's vote on natsu. It seemed obv that natsu would be lynched as lots of peeps were happy to hammer him
!scumLuca would vote natsu to get him to L-1 to get him to claim a PR.

[72offsuit]

I'd say scum is amongst Hectic/Luca/r1

[72offsuit]

I don't give towncred for disrupting the gamestate with scum at l-1

Hm true. As scum replacing in i feel i wouldve amped up pressure on a wagon likely to fly.
I just dont feel like i was likely to be lynched yesterday

[72offsuit]

Maybe thats just the way id play scum in that slot though

[72offsuit]

Sorry, i missed typing IMASPY as most likely town

[72offsuit]

Bit early for discussing re possiblity of role claiming, i think everyone should post their thought Re who are possible scum before that

[72offsuit]

I don’t really like how Marv writes the entire Luca v Pikachu interaction off as NAI - that just seems an entirely lazy way to skip over it without having to take it into consideration.

I pretty much did the same thing with ypur argument with DP. You didnt scum read me when i did that.

[72offsuit]

Hm i got confused, idk y i thought Marv voted for me rather than luca.
I guess luca was a bit more likelt a wagon ti fly than myself but still seemed unlikely.

[72offsuit]

Ye the fizz has gone out of the game.
I was actually oddly disappointed when natsu flipped scum and roleblocker at that.

[72offsuit]

Thats the whole point. Its super one sided now.

Does anyone know what percentage of games town wins when scum is lynched day 1?

[72offsuit]

Im set on this scum likeliness order atm:

Id say despite my reads yesterday based on how the votes went and the assumption scummies arent going for a crazy bus-your-PR-and-reveal-info-re-setup gambit:

Luca and Hectic top 2
JM and R1

[72offsuit]

I'm obviously masons with dk and 72

No, im actually cult that has infiltrated the masonhood

[72offsuit]

Next thing you know we'll all b drinkibg kool aid

[72offsuit]

Are you ignoring my claim, 72offsuit? After all we've been together? I find this very anti-town of you, and I suggest you work with me to solve this game.

`
Sure, we can solve the game. If you had to bet all your belongings on this good green earth as to who the last scum was, where would you place that bet?

[72offsuit]

Lol. Its looking more and more like IMASPY called it.
Natsu + Hectic. I'm inclined to vote Hectic today.

[72offsuit]

Amazing crumb.

No offense, but that crumb is more like a needle in a haystack.

[72offsuit]

I'm surprised you checked John Marv. Just wondering for my own knowledge re strategy, did you scum read him? Assume he was definitely not the night kill target? Randomly pick him?

[72offsuit]

Quite a few votes on DP on day 1, that would've been ugly had just 1 more player voted DP and someone expressed intent to hammer - doc claim wouldve looked scummy as lol

[72offsuit]

I tr R1 but i'll vote them since its auto. I hardclaim VT since it is autowin. VOTE: R1

I CC you

[72offsuit]

ggwp town. Extra kudos to IMASPY for rescuing that spot, even convincing me in the end, after my tunnelling, that natsu was the better lynch xD

That's the point of a crumb

And yeah, I checked John Marv because I scumread him, he was never the nightkill, and didn't think he was doctor if town.

Who DID you have as your most likely docs?

[72offsuit]

Can we all take a moment and appreciate the fact that IMASPY turned Arthur's slot into a night 1 kill? Like mfw that turnaround

Ye.. lol. If arthur stayed in the game, could easily have gone: incorrectly lynch arthur d1, n1 kill hectic/myself, day2 ???

[72offsuit]

Lul, this looks so bad for me if the Natsu lynch goes through and flips scum. I have faith in you, Natsu.

Lol, just re-read this

[72offsuit]

Your reads were a bit off this game xD. Its funny how i read you as town yesterday but backflipped when natsu flipped scum and I was happy to lynch you today based on your voting/reads yesterday

[72offsuit]

Shrugs, I;m just happy i didnt get killed night 1. Last game was really lame being N1K'ed and then 3 SEs all alive in the 3-way, with scum winning

@Detective Pikachu
1. I can't work out if you're trying to be serious or not
2. Why are dsjstr, Natsu and I considered scummy?
3. Normally a weird post like this would be considered scummy, listing everyone like you're so smart and not even giving justification? But then again I can't work out if you're scum or just making a bad play.

Why would you not think the reads based off RVS are genuine?
Because you dislike the results of said reads?

If R1 is scum then you got the top 4 TRs correct based purley off RVS xD

[72offsuit]

Hello people.

Hi all,
A sheep in wolf's clothing if I ever saw one.

So we're going to lynch actual sheep then just because they look wolfy?

Astute observation, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that

With hindsight, does anyone think this post of natsu's was scummy? Did he take my bait?

[72offsuit]

A lot of the time reads are clearest with the least information ironically enough

pedit: I think Natsu was being lamisty and too serious which can be scummy so maybe?

Wow, I think you are onto something here, you have basically succinctly summarised what I was feeling about Natsu from that post onwards, but i felt if I called that a scummy post, so early on I would've copped heaps of flak, and possibly have been scumread for picking at straws.

[72offsuit]

I guess gut feel can be powerful, but difficult to justify voting based on purely gut read.

[72offsuit]

If we vote to lynch our beloved mod, will that get his attention? :p
