Town goon does not exist as you obviously know, do you want to carry on with this or end it early?
@Cheese: What kind of justification can there be for a random vote page one?
Cheese spent too long talking p1 about town goons-“How do I know your not trying to fake us out, saying there's definitely no doctor or roleblocker”-when he knows they don’t even exist.
VOTE: Cheese-

@Guyett: “XLAV and Cheese now that Pharp has said it was all a joke why continue voting him? Do you”: Why do you think someone saying their scummy (from cheese and xlav’s view) acts were a joke is justification for the votes to be removed?
I dislike the way the Pharp said “fun” rather than “gambit”, and doesn’t say what his conclusions are- something that it seems pointless to have done the gambit without doing.
So I’ll do that bit. Cheeses interactions I mentioned +47 suggests cheese was trying to be opportunist- get an easy lynch on a “vi”.
I conclude that cheese looks the worst so far and thus my vote shall not move yet.
(Stuff like vi can be searched on mafiascum wiki if you don’t know what it means.)
Pedit- karlos also going in the potential scum pile. There's a difference between voting because you didn't understand what he was doing and voting because you think it was scummy. @Karlos: Why would scum have any reason to claim there and why do you think other sites don't exist?-

@Guy: I'm asking why should "i was joking" be an excuse for scummy play? I don't view his play as scummy, in fact i view the ones complaining about it as scummy, but you're telling people who say its scummy that's a valid excuse.
Also why do you think it was "dicking around">a reaction test?
I view it as a successful reaction test- i suspect that karlos and cheese (at least one of them) is scum.-

So do you think he was scum trying to mislynch new players or town trying to catch new scum?In post 56, BipolarChemist wrote:Pharphis has played on other sites before. I can believe he was trying to lure a newer player into jumping on that.
---
Obviously in a newbie game he's going to be voted for a gambit. His was pretty town- out of rvs quick and showed some pretty scummy stuff up.
@Pharphis: Pedit/ post-edit.
Would you like to explain to the other players your reason+conclusions?
@Guyett: Ok so we agree it was a gambit rather than just "joking".-

So why are you saying this instead of responding to my qs?
Why do a risky gambit then not use what you get from it...
Why go for a policy lynch while on L-1?
First is most important there.-

This is bad logic. It sounds like you're saying he's usually lynched as scum so if he's being lynched it's always because he's scummy. That just gives scum the opportunity to lynch him easily.In post 63, BipolarChemist wrote:
I'm not sure. I have played with him before and he is telling the truth that he makes bold moves early, but whether that means he is town or scum, I don't know. He has a habit of getting lynched D1 as scum or dying N1 as town (or other).In post 59, Hopkirk wrote:

You play on the same forum? How much.
Random vote stage is the usual way a game is started. There is generally no justification for votes if you are the very first poster- as there can't be. The aim is to get people talking.
@Cheese: I am not new to this site and am even less new to mafia. (though you're probably asking the townspeople/goons)-

Joking=fun in that neither = a reaction test= what it should be/looked like.
Karlos was opportunistic i feel.
B/w?
Now three things.
1.) Doing a reaction test then voting someone else despite getting a scumread from the reaction test defeats the point of the reaction test making you look bad.
2.) "I vote for who I think needs prodding" is a really stupid thing to do. Only vote for those who should be lynched.
3.) A policy lynch is a bad reason to vote someone- lurkingetc doesn't make someone town or scum and you want to be lynching scum- thus supporting the worst kind of lynch (naturally this makes you look bad) when on L-1 could get you lynched.
"Oh, and for future reference, players can vote for themselves, right?": Why would you vote yourself as town.
@Bipolar: Then why is he only lynched day one as scum rather than being lynched day one as either alignment? The way you said it sounds like you were subtly trying to make people think if they were voting him they should stay there.-

I am saying that if he's lynched d1 most of the time then just saying he's lynched d1 appears to be an attempt to make people feel justified in voting him- do you understand what i mean?
"tells me nothing about his alignment": Fair enough i suppose. Usually a risky gambit like that that helps the town would be a town play but him asking "can we self vote" could mean he's suicidal rather than being pro-town.
@Cheese: Why are you asking people why they are still voting the person you are voting in the same post you acknowledge the wagon is probably scum motivated? If karlos is scum then pharp probably isn't so why voting pharp over karlos?-

@Para: If you have scum reads you vote them before voting lurkers- do you disagree here because a vote on kk suggests you do.
Yeah why vote lurker when you have actual scumreads?
@Chesse: As town your vote is your best weapon so should be used to pressure people (into talking), people you think are scum that it.-

"Not Voting: King Kenny, BipolarChemist, XLAV [3]"
Generally in mafia you should be voting someone. Not using your vote allows scum to hide easily.
If you aren’t voting please vote a scumread of yours.
Kenny is giving off a scummy feel. He wants a hammer on someone… but still hasn’t said anything about them or voted them now para is off l-1. This suggests he doesn’t actually think para is scum but he just wants to lynch anyone. You could say that him not hammering discounts this theory but idk if anyone would hammer in their first post without saying anything- no way he’d get away with it.
143 and 146 support the view he’s lurking+doesn’t care about scumhunting. Doesn’t think game’s moving, complains it’s not (trying to make himself pro-town for wanting the game to move) despite he’s got the least content and posts of anyone.
@Kenny: Nothing to go on? What about para and that wagon that reacher L-1 very quickly? Do you still think para is scum? If not why did you feel like hammering? If so why aren’t you voting him? Who on the wagon do you think is scum- bussing or leading it.-

@Xlav:
"Because I wanted to hear what other people think of his post before I decided.": Why do you care what over people think about it? Avoiding lynching/voting someone you think is scum because you think people won't agree with you... that's not going to find scum and you appear not to care about finding scum.-

The whole town goon thing was not a joke. It was an effective gambit done by phara to get reactions and end rvs quicikly.
What i said in 181 was that you said you "Because I wanted to hear what other people think of his post before I decided."
That appears as if you care more about being populist than you do of scumhunting.-

@Bipolar: You haven't mentioned anything about me (indicative of being scum) so please explain your reasoning. Or your vote means nothing.
Also @Bipolar: I've already said my top two picks are karlos and kenny. Why do you think my vote being on karlos+me saying he's my top scumread would suggest anything other than that he's my top scumread? Any Kenny being my second one should tell you I think he’s scum, but I would not hammer until he has had a chance to claim and respond to my qs.-

@ Bipolar: You made a vote. You have mentioned no reasoning behind the vote. You say it's justified. Conclusion=it isn't justified thus i am asking for you to provide reasons for the vote.
Furthermore kenny has 4 posts. I have said why he's looking scummy already.
Your point on xlav is just wrong too. He says people are null for not posting much-not much they say, while xlav says kenny is scum-his posts have been scummy.
So many lies+misreps make bipolar suspicious. I think i'll be taking a look through his iso.-

Bipolar:
First person to try for the easy looking policy lynch.
The stuff about playing with phar before.
“My read on Pharphis right now is cautiously leaning town.” While voting phara.
Misrepping people’s motivations.
Not justifying votes.
Seems like he wants to take the opportunities he can to vote people/discredit people so others will vote them- voting people while not doing so.
Please justify your actions.-

First obviously wasn't rvs i know. The point of the gambit was to see who'd be happy to do a policy lynch/easy quick lynch - you were the first to bite were you not?
What have i misrepped?
"I've explained why I did not remove my vote from Pharphis, and it was to garner reactions from other players while he was at L-1.": You never leave your vote on town. This is one of the scummiest things to do imo- voting someone you read as town regardless.
I've already said about kenny and there's nothing more to say until he posts again.
What's the point of a "pressure vote" if you have nothing to back it up? A single vote with no logic behind it doesn't actually pressure anyone.-

"I don't see any questioning of him. ": So how is other people not asking me qs my fault? You were voting me and couldn't even give any reason for me being scum.
All of bipolar's qs have been answered before (recently), seems like bios trying to look town by asking "town" questions.
@Mod: Can we have the kenny and karlos prods now?-

“I see a lot of questioning coming from him”
“And you're trying to shut down any conversation at all.”
Pick one.
I want to see original questioning. For example, you asked Cheese who he wanted lynched when he’d said 4 post before that Kenny is his top scum. What does this actually help you with? You don’t seem to be hunting scum.
@Bipolar: What could have changed guyett’s opinion when Kenny hasn’t done anything else? The wagon has one more person than before.-

Burden of proof.
You have provided no reason that i am scum so there is no evidence i need to prove wrong. It lies with you to provide reasoning.
"Answer what?"
You're not even making sense now. You two say you don't like the way i'm not being asked any questions and that makes me scummy- that's basically saying i'm scummy because of YOUR actions rather than mine which is a basic fallacy.
I'm asking him what he wants answered as obviously he wouldn't be saying "Hop should be asked more questions" without asking questions about my motivate or actions unless he's stupid/really hypocritical/scum.
What is making you uncomfortable. You haven't said why anything I've done is bad you've only said why things you+others do in relation to me is bad.-

Why would i look suspicious for not being asked questions? If you view not being asked questions as scummy then logic should clearly tell you that it's a reflection on the people NOT asking the questions.
Even when i directly ask for questions you have none. What questions do you want me to be asked?-

Compare it to hoe you'd expect an active and logic town to react. The expected reaction to be voted for very bad/no reasons would be to ask them to substantiate and if not then scumread the voters.
Since you could not substantiate or even defend any of your "reasoning" (or lack of it) @bipolar- you've gone from null town to null scum. Phar is still town read though.-

Two posts from xlav:
“King Kenny - Scum, scummy vibes, hammering”
“Kenny is just a noob who seems like he doesn't know what he's doing. I think he isn't scum.”
@Xlav: Please explain why your view changed with no new content from Kenny.
Btw Kenny has been on the site in the last two days thus is actively choosing not to post.
@Bipolar: Short answer=yes in the way your doing it/not doing it. Long answer= If you have no logic behind the vote then it’s not being used effectively. If you’re keeping you’re vote there when I’ve said it means nothing with no reasoning behind it- and you don’t add any reasoning, as now- then I do have a problem with your vote as it is effectively not being used and you are happy to keep not using your vote.
@Guyett: I said a while back that karlos was my #2 scumread. Where are you getting null from.
I will put together a reads list if anyone wants but i've said my individual reads in the thread already.-

@Karlos: The problem with Bipolar is that he is only pretending to use his vote. If you can’t/refuse to justify a vote then that’s not town motivation, it’s a vote that you can’t justify and that is a vote from scum. Though he’s not a top scumread.
@Karlos: Scum can scum hunt.
“I think the next lynch and nightkill will give us a lot of informarion. Otherwise we are at a dead end here.”: Rubs me the wrong way but I can’t really explain it.
I agree guyett should post more but dislike the way you indicate it him scummy while Kenny doing much worse is town because of it- explain please.
This isn’t really indicative of alignment but I just found it hilarious “Alex hasnt posted in a while which I don’t like” (someone who hadn’t posted for 4 days about someone who hadn’t posted for one day saying lack of activity made the second person suspicious).
Karlos does look better than before (still a scumread but minor instead of second).
UNVOTE: Karlos
VOTE: XLAV
I would prefer to vote Kenny but I don’t want to hammer him until he’s responded and his alignment is fully cemented.-

That hammering when xlav started to become more suspect without a claim or even waiting for him to return is just bad. staying where it is now for a while.
“What I did was to save time.” Is bad.
“want me to hard claim?”
“Do not claim”
“Anyway, heres my claim.”
Wth? He wanted to claim townie there. Explain why you did this xlav as I see scum motivation behind it.
Currently I expect Kenny to flip scum anyway but I’m not sure about xlav as partner.-

Pretending to want to take back anti-town moves isn’t town. Claiming early as vt is often done by scum (it’s on one of the how not to be lynched guides iirc).
Karlos’s main suspect seemed to be xlav. Then Karlos dies despite being a highly suspected player (glad I didn’t lynch him now).
Xlav is a new player. I can see him just killing someone who suspected him after all xlav’s scummy stuff. I then propose that his partner was also new-as he would have agreed to the kill. Cheese is scummy them self and is new thus fits the criteria.
Thus cheese and xlav is my current read as the scumteam.-
