I was hoping to get caught up with this game at work today, but I got to page 6 and all hell broke loose, so while you wait, here's a hastily-drawn doodle of The Queen in a Starfleet uniform. (Not quite sure why, but whenever I try to doodle a face, it comes out looking like Lucifer. It's not, though.)-

OK, caught up; I haven't caught anything that hasn't already been pointed out, but today I'm not interested in lynching anyone out of the following list: { Wisdom, querty, Boro, ferret, gm, Hei, Noctan, Mitillos }
UNVOTE:

Has oriole even posted?
I'm not particularly interested in lynching him, but there are 8/12 players Idon'twant to lynch. That leaves oriole, Saki, and Banakai by PoE.-

Gonna do this in 2 posts so I don't forget to answer the Hei question again while I ISO qwerty.
I'm not interested in lynching Noctan because of thenewearth -- I've played with scum-tne once and he didn't lurk this hard. It's a changeable read, but unlike the 3 players I've POE'd, at least it's a redeeming feature.
Hei is BK201.-

I knew I should have kept notes, but there was so little there that I only have 1-2 points for each player. It'll be a few, multitasking hardcore here.-

Alright, more detailed reads list
Banakai : 103 - entire wagon is a reaction test? There's no way that's a naturally occurring thought process
193 : Hops on mr. epicmafia the low-hanging fruit like a pro.
BK201 : 252, conversely,isa naturally occurring thought process.
Boro : 144 -- I get paranoid when people townread me for no goddamn reason, too.
ferretlover : ok, so I just lol'd at 191 and want to keep that alive as long as better lynches exist. I won't cry myself to sleep at night if we wind up lynching ferret.
gm: 2-for-1 special in 221 showing townparanoia against Wisdom and frustration at Rational for the epicmafia dreck; secondly, I've played with scum-gm before and based on that I think scum-gm would provide better reasoning for her push on Wisdom rather than being blatantly full of shit.
Mitillos : strongest townread due to consistent high volume of non-shit questions of a sort that are hard to come up with as town. Not going to list post#s here, just ISO him and read literally any post.
Wisdom : gut, but strong gut starting with 98. I've never played with scumWisdom but Ihaveplayed against townWisdom and this feels the same.
Saki and oriole aren't on there because I haven't seen anything alignment-indicative.-

Actually, it was scum-me/town-Wisdom the other time we were in the same game too. I had to look that one up though, it didn't stick out as much in my mind.-

"Feels like the same Wisdom," if you prefer.In post 420, Banakai wrote:you said that it feels the same as when you were scum and he was town....
"Played with" in this case was intended in the usual sense, as in "I have never been in a game with scum Wisdom."In post 421, Banakai wrote:even the first part is worded as if you were scum...
"Against" is the word that was intentional, because it's Newbie 1305 I'm basing my read on Wisdom on. (Although I could have sworn I played a game with Wisdom where we were both town at the time I posted that.)-

And now, the end is hereIn post 446, BK201 wrote:Quick question while I'm eating, Belisarius do usually buddy as town?
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up, and spit it out!
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it MYYYYYYYYYY WAYYYYYY!
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as my tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think, I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it MYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYY

The issue here is that you're counter-arguing against an argument that I did not make.In post 515, Evil Regals wrote:
Townparanoia can be faked and so can frustration. Secondly his push on Wisdom isn't that great, but what I have seen of her scum pushes on previous games and for me it becomes null in general, but the meta I have on goodmorning is that she posts more as town and when she's scum she tends to lurk a lot.In post 416, Belisarius wrote: gm: 2-for-1 special in 221 showing townparanoia against Wisdom and frustration at Rational for the epicmafia dreck; secondly, I've played with scum-gm before and based on that I think scum-gm would provide better reasoning for her push on Wisdom rather than being blatantly full of shit.
When I looked at this game before subbing in I was looking at the ISO post counts and I was surprised at the number. I then went to a recent finished town game of hers and counted the number of posts in the same duration as this game started and it was 10+ more posts. She's more active as town then she is as scum.
My read on gm has nothing to do with activity levels. It has to do with the strength of the argument.
scum-gm presents careful, spock-like reasoning.
gm this game can be summarised as "HONEY BADGER DON'T GIVE A SHIT!"
so this isn't scum-gm.-

It can't be to win, because lurking and fluffing doesn't achieve that.

Still need to re-evaluate my PoE; Evil Regals is looking town as fuck to me atm.
Not buying the Bana-town argument, though. I could fake that.

That's a tenet of Mark McClish's Statement Analysis method. I tried to use thatIn post 607, beastcharizard wrote:I was told recently that saying honestly is scummy because if you were town you wouldn't have to say honestly.fullmethod to scumhunt in three games (Newbie 1377, Newbie 1375, [url=http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=29453]Open 506) (but I was calling it the Driver method because I learned most of it from Driver first).
The tl'dr version of that is that itdoesn't fucking workin Forum Mafia.
I "showed my work" in the Dead QT for Open 506 so you can see exactly how it doesn't work. If you want to skip the thread and just look at the Dead QT, the most important thing to bear in mind is that Yesterday basically won the game single-handedly for town..-

I'm still solidly unwilling to lynch within {Mit, Wisdom, gm, Hei}
I suppose I probably have to say I'd rather have a Bana wagon than any of the nullier alternatives, but I shouldn't given that I'm presently leading the wagon.-

I think scum and the SK shot Mit, and the asshole vig shot Wisdom instead on Banakai. WTG, asshole.

Actually check that. If Saki's claim is real, that means the protown vig and the antitown SK shot at the same target WHICH MAKES THE VIG AN ASSHOLE-

Roleblock doesn't clear Saki. It just means Wisdom was either town or SK targeted by both the vig and scum. Highly unlikely since vig and scum have opposite wincons.-

Standard mafia theory suggests one-shot BP would absorb the first kill and the second kill would go through.
Hence if the scum and SK targeted the same player, the first would be advised of the flip and the second not.
I highly doubt either Mafia or SK will claim scum to clear that up for us.-

Basically, Saki is being an obvious bullshitter and any PR wirh an effective guilty on him should hold off to bust the entire scumteam and/or SK.
I fucked up like that before. The scum I busted was this game's mod. His scumbuddy still managed to win even after the other townslot was replacedby Nacho.
Conversely, I won Wazza's Watcher game by keeping my yap shut.
PRs, take a leaf from my book. Give us a win.-

Noctan-slot can't be scum of any sort; he was pending replacement theentirenight phase, and we had 3 kills.

The reason you didn't get a result last night is that you're lying.
I take it from your train of thought that you haven't eaten the SK (as scum) or scum (as the SK), but the rest of us have to consider the possibility that the scum crosskilled at some point, or that Saki's the one who shot at BK and shot correctly, which means town wins just as soon as we lynch your lying ass.
Are you really trying to negotiate withme, the one player who knows damn well you're lying? Nope. Vote stays on the confscum.
This is a 1v1. From every perspective, one of ushasto be lying. If you want to save yourself you'd better vote me and hope gm or Bana come down on your side (Or a rep is found for Noctan, w/e).

Except that if he's telling the truth, we lose right then and there.
Unless the SK was killed by scum last night, wehaveto lynch mafia today, and go into 1:1:1 tomorrow.With a slot pending replacement. That would be even worse than regular 1:1:1
Naturally bc gets roleblocked tonight, because otherwise lynching anybody but bc results in a sk win.-

Wait a minute.
Shaheed's Law applies here.
If bc is telling the truth in that there are indeed two scum and a SK alive, that means the town has already lost. The best we can hope for is 1:1:1 with the surviving townie (Bana, belike) acting as a Kingmaker.
If you need something to be true or you're fucked, assume it is.
Weneedbc to be lying or we're fucked.
