The discussion on the color of the vote count is pointless. Zoraster uses the same formatting of vote counts (well, he doesn't use ghost votes anymore.In post 106, qwints wrote:First,

Farside, propounding false dilemmas is either a scum tell or a sign that you follow professional wrestling.Thank God.) in all of his games. In each of those games, the colors of the people voting oscillate so that Zoraster as well as the players can more easly discern who is voting a particular person and their position on the wagon. The red color is solely reserved for people not voting.
I like Farside for town at the moment.
IthinkI like Talah, but I need more time and more activity from him.
Aronis is playing like a VI(Vi?), noise-machine. I don't see anything inherently scummy in his play other than the lack of direction he has.-

While I agree asking a bunch of questions is possibly to look town has possibly the lowest threshold of any potential fake town-tell, Talah's questions did help move the game forward. You have to wait until later in the game to make a fairer judgment on Talah's motives for asking so many questions.In post 108, TheIrishPope wrote:

barely a day passed, he never stated a scum read on Aronis and moves the wagon on without adding much to the game.In post 187, Oversoul wrote:Beetlejuice tell is that someone says your name and then you post in the thread. Basically, you're only truly active in the game when someone calls you out on it.
This game has stalled.
VOTE: Aronis
Short answer:
No scum hunting, lack of motivational hunting, join wagon for sake of moving game when game is not stalled.
All of the active posters had already said their spiel and I used my vote for something productive instead of trying to see ghosts when there are none (at least at the moment).-

Look at the colors of the most recent votecount at the time Aronis made that post.In post 243, talah wrote:Aronis: it'll take you 30 seconds. Read on Venmar please. I want to know why you grouped yourself and him as "purple-town" earlier.
So, farside, yeah, that description of Zor's votecounts was helpful. Especially if people are tangentially continuing to be confused by it.

People agreed with Hitler. Point being...?In post 294, farside22 wrote:When did having no oppinion about anything in the game and voting for a player you haven't said shit about be considered anything but scummy as shit?
Oh should I mention that people agreed with me which makes your reaction worse.
Farside, it stopped being scummy as shit about the time you left the site. I am sorry, but the site culture has moved into the territory of bandwagons (and 200+ page larges). Also, I do have an opinion of Aronis. I said he lacks direction. I don't know if his lack of direction is the result of dejection for being the first major wagon or if he is scum who doesn't know how to fake direction. A vote on him moves the game along in this regard to suss out his true motives and see if anyone is willing to run him up this early.
Are you just going to ignore me calling you on your ability to "read" me, Farside? You'e never played a game with me in my entire history on this site. You modded a game from when I first joined 3 years ago (Lemming Mafia) and you modded another game where I was a replacement 2 years ago (90's Cartoon Mafia). Not to mention you left about a year ago. You have a substantial disconnect from MafiaScum meta and an even larger disconnect with "reading" me. You're talking out your ass just like every other person who says they can "read" me. Look at Maniacal Street *cough* Khan *cough*, look at AFFC *cough* everyone *cough*, look at 90's Cartoon *cough* everyone *cough*.
To take some words from your own Mafia Vocabulary, this "piss poor reaction" bit is "the ever helpful" and "the pointless comment".
Why exactly did you include that other than to attempt to make fun of me? I had a vague idea of what talah was talking about, but I want to see his answer to my follow up question before I reveal my thinking.
People need to understand that I play a very conservative game where I don't reveal much about my intentions or the card I'm playing.
I like you farside, I really do. But don't make me go crazy on your ass like I did with Nero Cain in 90's Cartoon. You really don't want that. I really don't want that. No one really wants that.
Stop talking as if you are an authority on me when you don't have the slightest clue how I operate.-

You're moving goalposts now. You said:
You didn't say anyone who can read. You didn't say anyone who can catch scum. You said anyone who can read Oversoul. That implies you know something about me that has given legitimacy to your claim. But you don't. And now you're telling me that because some scum, in another game acted in a manner vaguely like my own, that I am scum for it?In post 225, farside22 wrote:Anyone who can read Oversoul should be voting him too.
I am scum for another person's actions? In a game that I did not read? In a game that I did not play in?
No. Clarify why you said "Anyone who can read Oversoul" when you have no experience playing WITH me and no CURRENT experience with me.
Your first two questions are answered by that quote. I promise you I will reveal my hand at some point, but that point isn't now. You're just wasting your time gunning for me.In post 300, Oversoul wrote:People need to understand that I play a very conservative game where I don't reveal much about my intentions or the card I'm playing.-

I thought the same thing myself, and remembered we played in Flame Warriors together where she misread as town there too. But I think she was scum and being scum against someone isn't really the same as playing with someone when you both are town and you are earnestly trying to discern their alignment.In post 311, ActionDan wrote:
How could this possibly be your first time playing together. Even then anyone can go and look up past games and 'meta' someone.

The thing is, I don't think really anyone in this game other than Venmar has shown a penchant for being able to read me.-

I am sorry. It was hyperbole and he was the most extreme example I could think of. If you and Zor find the comment too disparaging and insensitive, I will accept any punishment.
My point: just because people agree with you, doesn't mean you are right, morally or logically.
Your link is broken for the apathetic game.
Any game where you meta me as a replacement does not count because I chose to replace into those games for a specific reason.
318, what are you talking about? My comment was solely inward reflection. I never said you were being mean.
And farside, you just made that case. That means you didn't do the meta when you made that comment about knowing how to read me. You are blowing smoke.-

That does not fly.
What type of response would you expect from a townie in that situation?
From a scum?
Think of it as a spectrum.In post 317, farside22 wrote:Yeah you pretty much said it stopped being scummy. IE: No it hasn't so backtracking doesn't really float either. You could have said it was null but that was not your words.
[scummy==============null===================town]
The act of voting a band wagon is no longer scummy. I didn't say it was townie. I said it was no longer scummy, meaning it is null. I am sorry I did not make that clearer.
A major fucking difference?
Empire saying "Tammy is scum and anyone who can read Tammy can see it" lends legitimacy to the claim that Tammy is scum because well, Empire is expertly knowledgeable of Tammy's scum game and has her meta down to a science.
You are not my Empire. You saying that artificially inflates your position to give it more credibility in passing glance. That is especially disconcerting given that you hadn't even meta'd me until I made a stink about it.
No. You cannot after the fact apply meta when you used meta in your original justification.
Because you think, there I am.In post 317, farside22 wrote:You are scum in my eyes. So.
Umm.
Doesn't work that way, Farside.
You can't apply games where I replaced in to this game. I already had a base to work with. I already had material I could read and formulate opinions on. I already had external justifications for joining that game such as "reading it and thinking, x and y seem scummy, if I replace in I think can lynch them" or "x seems town, I want to play town", etc.
It is two different playing fields.-

Farside, I know the damage has been done but I want you to know that I am deeply sorry for what I said. It was insensitive, misplaced, and trivialized a horrific event. I value your opinion as a player and as a person. I was excited to know that you were still active in mafia when the Cross Town games started up. I am sorry that I have created this rift. I understand if you never wish to speak to me or even interact with me ever again. I promise to you, and everyone else, that I will never make such a comment ever again. It was my own ignorance and immaturity that thought the rhetoric would be a good idea. I know you probably do not want to return to this game after what has been said, but if you do, I have asked Zoraster to remove the inflammatory content in question. Additionally, I have already notified Zoraster that I will replace out on such an occassion. I am sorry, Farside.In post 331, farside22 wrote:Mod: as much as I love your games I can not play with the person who made such an inflammatory comment without completely losing it.

Ok, so I have substantially less time than I imagined I would have and for that I am very sorry. I want to preface this saying that I really haven't been "reading". I've stared at the pages of this game, saw words, posted my own thoughts on some words that stuck out to me and then called it a day. I am also sorry if this sounds offensive to some people but if you are lurky or not labelled as a charismatic player (i.e. someone whose words I want to read) than I probably didn't pay much attention to your posts. That's just how I play and unless you do something really mind blowing (bad or good) it will probably take some goading for me to read.
Without further ado... I present to you my scum reads
I am going to start with the "biggest" in terms of the longest I've spent pondering.
Reck.
Reck is a charismatic player. He is funny. He is intelligent. He is good at this game. Why isn't he doing ANY of those things? And what is this hogwash about replacing out and then getting cold feet on that?
Looking at Reck's activities over the site (wink, wink, cough, cough) it appears that Reck is almost selectively ignoring this game. Now, I've played a few games with Reck and they've been decidedly different from this game. To the point where I don't think I can "meta" read him accurately. One game was Hip Hop where he replaced out but was active up to that replace out. The other game was Scummies Invitational where he had a very useful power role that probably kept him interested in the game.
Now I would like to say that Reck was on the pre in list and so he wanted to play this game, but I can't remember exactly. Why isn't Reck playing the game? All he has done is throw out some half assed prodges disguised as comments and then attempt to limp out of this game. This is not the charismatic Reck I know. Now, I know activity is possibly one of the weakest things use as a basis for scumreading someone but active lurking and ignoring a specific game is not. Reck has not given any indication across his other involvements on this site that there is something going on in his life. Why hasn't he given an excuse unless there is no excuse?
So Farside, when I said I was waiting, this is what I was talking about. I have a mantra (that zMuffin mocked) that if you wait long enough lurking scum will become apparent. I expect Reck to take charge of this game. He has not. He has done nothing.
Now, this brings me to my second point.. a scum read that was actually turned town read.
I originally suspected KK because of his early game entrance. It did not sit well with me and when Reck didn't do anything I thought it was one of those awkward "oh let me do this to my buddy" type interactions. But KK has improved. His vote on me was decidedly dumb and his play up until the Aronis stuff was lack luster. But if there is one thing I've learned from playing with KK (admittedly only once in Maniacal Street) it is that if you do something scummy even if you don't mean to, he will be like a hungry dog on a bone and will not let go. I think that is what he is doing with Aronis. It reminds me so much of how KK acted with me in Maniacal Street that I am fairly confident it makes KK town.
My second true scumspect is Qwints, but before I reveal anymore I have to preface my Qwints read with a farside read. Farside really came out of left field when she started pushing me. I got angry at her for doing that and over the course of events she built a case on me. Now, I like cases. It is one of the reasons why I like town Reck so much. He builds these nice, aesthetically pleasing (this goes a long way people), comprehensive analyses of player habits over the course of a game. In the same vein, I also like Nuwen's case for similar reasons (plus she does batshit theories that are cool). Now originally I thought farside's activity was more likely to come from town than scum because as we all know, scum do not have much incentive to be super active but as she has posted I've noticed that I'm beginning to fee like farside is being active for the sake of being active and that lead me to think about Farside's cases... and how they were not were not what I like in a case or really even enlightening. They were not aesthetically pleasing. They were not comprehensive. They are fairly crappy in all honesty. Looking at the ones she made in this game, they are all mostly buzzword quote pickings of things that are mildly scummy. I didn't like that. It felt forced. PZ/Talah/Someone was accused of "trying to sound town" for asking questions or something like that and I was really surprised when that player did not single out farside because she sounds the most insincere with her scumhunting. Seriously. Just look at the ones she has made. If they don't fill you with a sense of doubt, please tell me why. Now, I didn't want to push farside at this time for a variety of reasons but I will say the primary one is that I didn't want it to look like OMGUS because it isn't, but it would look liked OMGUS and that would only cause more sheeple to vote for me. And before people accuse me of being "too self aware" (looking at you MTGS people, it isn't a bona fide scumtell) yes. I am self aware. That is how I play. My interactions at that time didn't need anymore gunpowder to make things worse. And looking at her most recent case I still see the same traits of the one against me so I feel completely legitimate in saying farside's cases have been bad this game. But what really pushed me to thinking that Farside was scum was when thinking about AD's question "Did you seriously not play together in all your time here?".
I thought about that and then remembered we did play a game, Flame Warriors. When I first went back to check to confirm I didn't pay much attention to that game because it is mangled from a Tiger Attack and not all the flips are there. I thought I remembered Farside being scum that and I think I am right in saying that. Looking back at that game, she has very similar interactions with pushing me for what I believe are bad reasons and not truly looking at the situation. Basically, I think in both games she is taking things out of context and applying them as scumtells to a person. However, the difference between the two games is two years and Farside seems to have it more "put together" so to speak in Flame Warriors than here which makes me really question myself about my read on farside. Overall I think farside is likely scum but not as likely as some other individuals, like Qwints.
Okay.
Now that I have said my piece about farside being scum let me discuss Qwints. He was in my opinion active lurking early in the game and then came out of nowhere with this vote on me because of farside's case. He didn't really give much more explanation than that and it left a horrible taste in my mouth considering how bad I thought farside's case was. I was beginning to put together the theory that Qwints + Farside were a team using each other to push a wagon forward. The position on my wagon is in my opinion optimal for Qwints to take as it is not a) starting a wagon, or b) immediately supporting the wagon. It is at that cusp of town indecision where I think makes or breaks a lynch and that position is often filled by a scum member since it only takes one vote to have a profound psychological effect on the atmosphere of the game and the trajectory (shoot me for using this) of the wagon. I do not think any of his more recent posts have better analysis than his early posts and I think he is just being a weather vane to votes. I will say that his post asking me "was I wrong to town read you?" is fairly townie, enough for me to say that I think we should lynch Reck instead of Qwints, because I don't see scum really having the gumption to say something like that this early in a large game.
So yeah. I know it is 4 days until deadline but looking at all the wagons so far, I would need to do more substantial reads of those individuals if I am going to join the wagon and I don't have time for that. So vote Reck.
VOTE: Reck
Either to kill him, make him active, or expedite his replace out.-

Have you seen the size of the other wagons? Of course we can.In post 669, qwints wrote:
Nope, I think he's null (very slightly town), and that there's no chance of a lurker lynch on reck Day 1. Do you think Reck is lynchable before deadline?Oversoul wrote:So qwints you think Reck is town?-

I want Reck to be scum so bad nowIn post 703, zMuffinMan wrote:
i'm not even all that opposed to a reck wagon happening, and i would consider sheeping you just because it's win/win for me (either he will flip scum or if he doesn't, i can talk about your BRILLIANT STRATEGY for the rest of the game)oversoul wrote:3 days left to vote Reck
but in all honesty, you're asking for a lynch on someone with no associations (due to lack of content) because he might be scum who is lurking (which i guess is entirely possible, especially if he's active elsewhere, but i can think of other possible explanations here that i don't see as any more or less likely... for example, i've felt pretty meh about this game so far and i sometimes only post because i force myself to... there's so much fucking apathy in this game and it's only D1) 4 days from the deadline

I think crappy was an unfair characterization of them, farside. I am sorry for that. What you described them as "all over the place" or whichever way you said is a better description. They just don't appeal to me.
And I realize my vote on PZ is bad. I just want Reck blood.
And everyone is complaining about the looming deadline and the state of the various wagons but very few people are even willing to work towards alleviating that issue by either a) pushing for their specific lynch or b) compromising.
So, People commenting about that, please tell me why you aren't following through on your own words.-
