@Doom / 242 - probably not, I think he is a policy lynch for tunneling a player who I think is town, but obviously you’re allowed to be wrong so id probably only lynch if he refuses to look at anyone else other than Creature as I hate tunnels

Also, what makes you so confident in Creature being town now?
the amount of effort you're putting in leads me to believe you are likely town.
Why do you think effort is related to alignment?
Because scum already know who is town and who is scum. Sure it's possible to fake long-winded readslists as scum, but imo, this type of thinking-out-loud posting usually comes from town.
It isn't always the case, I've seen some really strong scum players make big posts, and create strong arguments that usually give strong town vibes.

In usual cases, the amount of effort being put in by players are often transparent and you can sense which alignment it is coming from.

We aren't policy lynching anybody because you don't like tunnels. Myself I don't like tunnels, but I'm not going to flat out policy lynch someone because they either can't get out of a tunnel or refuse too.

I didn't realise A50 was so far in the voting counter. :yawn:

I haven't ISO'd everybody since I last said I would, I've got a free weekend coming up, so hopefully I can go through them.

Yeah, and I'm a Lapras Hydro Pumping a nice little circle around me and whoever gets wet is scum. ^_^
But, apart from that idiotic joke, why do you think it's townish if someone scumreads half of the playerlist? I think it's one of the easiest things to fake it.

I know KopHerald queried my read on ShadPearl but I'm still fairly happy to say it's noob play and not lynch.
The first one is sort of okay.
The second one is pigeon poop. What sort of tunnel are you talking about? Why would he be a policy lynch?
The third one, on the other hand is... pigeon poop too. I don't think that hydra consists of noobs.
Actually, you may be scum, too.

Also, you posted a FoS on Lalendra in your next post. After you'd voted for her. As a change, that was pigeon poop.

How so? I played recently in a game where she was conftown and barely participated so I'm not seeing yet how this is AI for her.
Why is everyone so interested in my Texcat-read?
But sigh, it's not the amount of her posts. As far as I can remember, by that game phase she usually picks someone for a hard scumread and she keeps pushing that every now and then. (About twice in three days or something like that.) I don't think it's happening right now. But okay, I'll wait to see what she's doing.

I'm after half of the playerlist. Or more. Why is everyone so interested in my Texcat-read?

@Creature. Do you like being indy?
Headed to work but tonight will post thoughts on game thusfar.
This replacing in post is pigeon poop.
Luckily, the post you quoted is even more terrible. Somehow it sounded in my mind: "I'm afraid of getting lynched in the first round".

As for the Vote Count in . Almost50 is a good wagon. Paradox is a bad wagon. Doomfeathers, Lalendra, Shadpearl and Creature are good wagons, too. But maybe I'm wrong about Creature. Creature, are you the SK?

By the way, JimmyUrineSquirtleWhateverIDon'tEvenWantToMemorizeThis is scum, too.

OK, Creature can be Town for now, which means I TR the entire wagon on TGP, but I'm not sure he is scum.

I'm fairly confident on doom being Scum though so..

VOTE: doomfeathers

In fact, if I could turn today into me vs doom gladiator thing I would.

I just find it weird that you specifically asked for Serial Killer instead of just Scum. Almost like you only have to find the Serial Killer since he's against you, but not the Mafia.

Bad idea. I'd lynch both of you.

Also, has Creature ever had an SK game?
Now how on earth would you lynch 2 players on the same day??

Also, I don't know and I don't care. My comment was based on my understanding of Creature's hate for Scum roles. The only thing that "could" motivate him to play would be his scum partners, and the SK has no partners so Creature is very very likely to just leave the game if he rolled SK.

People may have different scum meta than SK meta, I'd actually be interested to see some difference between those.

A50 is still up there for me, nothing has changed there, his posts haven't improved and he's ignored previous statements against him.

Doomfist, when you're rereading, are you saying things "as of" when you're up to? Are you saying I was lurking at the time of your reread, or that I'm still a lurker?

I'm really not a fan of a lot of the passing off Shad's posts as noob. It's condescending and I don't think it helps us to actually find scum.

I'm happy to see Aneninen taking some stands and action, felt a lot of his early posts was a lot of words but not actually saying much.

Creature wrote:I need some inspiration to play this game.

There are way too many scummy players.
@This quote and your post about post count.


1)
Do you have an opinion on
Almost50's
recent posts? He's becoming more active.
2)
Instead of saying there are too many scummy players, you could ask questions to try and alleviate some of them...

Any questions to me, specifically?
3)
Content > Quantity in posts.
4)
Be less apathetic and maybe you'll work up inspiration.

Spoiler: Response to Sando's 204 post


Sando
, I read this post, and yes, I do see your issue with the reads.

But let me be clear here.

Neither you or
Shadpearl
were confident reads I had on my list, and I wasn't stating that what
Shadpearl
did was less odd in my eyes than what you did. Also, I stated that I didn't trust the reasons for the
Creature
wagon, and I recognized that your vote on
Creature
was RVS.

I didn't trust the vote migration onto
Almost50
because of the amount of how quick the votes were, and in my mind, not a lot of stated reasoning above what I said myself in the post where I voted
Doomfeathers
.

I don't formulate solid reads a lot. My initial gut on
Shadpearl
was what made me question him, but place him as null. My read on him, and the read on you, were not based on 100% same reasoning, like what you're insinuating... :igmeou:

Currently, I'm still sorting you and
Shadpearl
out, and my reads have changed to a degree, and will likely change when I look up people more in depth this weekend.


Spoiler: Reply To Shadpearl's 215
At first glance, I'm liking because it raises questions and pushes for conversation with a lot of people. This is not something that strikes me as scum or anti-town.
In post 215, Shadpearl wrote:Taly - why would you post such a long and accurate list of your thoughts? You are basically begging for people to tear it to shreds and if you are right, aren't you painting a target on your back? [...] Why give out all this information so freely?
The more opinions I tell, the less I have to hide. The more communication I have with people, the less other people will have to hide.

The reasons for my posting style are 2-folded.
1)
Sometimes, my own thoughts aren't grounded or solid. So when I construct them in coherent analysis, it helps me organize my thoughts, even if they aren't always defined.

2)
I want people to tear at my posts. It's a great way to see reactions, and how people are thinking. Later in the game, posts that are stated now could be pivotal in an endgame scenario, and how people view them post-flip.

If I'm not being misread, questioned, pressured, or wagoned at some point in game, then I'm doing something wrong.


Spoiler: Doomfeathers' Recent Posts


I've read
Doomfeathers'
post and I'm seeing his POV a lot more now, which I see as taking time to formulate thoughts instead of impulsively jumping on an idea.

I especially liked him pointing out my point in , and explaining his thoughts against my reasons for voting him. That's something refreshing...

I am curious though;

1)
What are your thoughts of
TheGoldenParadox's
play and wagon so far?

2)
What's your read on
Lalendra
? I feel like there's a good portion of the town polarized on her.


Spoiler: Answering and Q's To Anenien

Town can be wrong. Pre-flip associations and making defined statements revolving around them could do more harm than good.

Creature

You're not even going to reply to my response to your FoS?

There's plenty of content right now to look outside of him. I'm going to look into his games again.
In post 212, TheGoldenParadox wrote: i'm lurking here b/c i'm not enjoying this game at all and i'm quickly losing motivation to play.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: TheGoldenParadox

Since
doomfeathers'
posts alleviated some of my suspicions, I'm done keeping my vote in one place. This is my most solid scumread. Even moreso than
Almost50
at this point.

Why are you in the game if you're uninterested like this? I haven't seen town do this.
This rings to me as scum who's waiting for something more desirable of a wagon to come along without throwing themselves out there.

I haven't played many large's, but why is L-4 a big deal?
Because when I commented on we aren't policy lynching, I thought there wasn't many votes on him, but then I saw he had that many votes, even if he was at L-4, he is still closer to a lynch, than no where near.

I can see how I’ve ended up in that pile on your observation that the Lal mistake might be too obvious. I’d have to think it through a bit more but I had it in my mind that it was something if no one checked between the post and Creature coming back it might be incontestable

But you have a point it might have been too obvious

Its early and if this keeps up, Creature is obvscum but it's clear that pressure votes don't make him post as scum.

-Brass
Honestly it's less a pressure vote and more of a "this is the most likely scum for me as of right now" vote. Obviously I am still looking for scum, as it's
possible
Creature is town and there's another explanation - it's not likely though, based on my previous games with him.
I know this was stated earlier in the game, but other than
Almost50
, is there anyone that catches your attention? Also, he's become more active.
In post 67, Lalendra wrote:But I'm keeping my options open, which was the reason for the disclaimer with my vote. I don't want to speedlynch because if we do, we'll have less information to go off of (which is another likely reason he's not participating); I would have been more cautious with my vote if he was close to hammer but he's not.
This is why
Lalendra
leans more town to me, especially since this is D1. She'd rather gather information instead of pushing something without little reason. What concerns me is, I don't think she's pushed her reads or votes that much.

Are you expecting a reaction to something?
In post 122, Lalendra wrote: Considering that his entrance is pretty typical of his playstyle and that he is now active and engaged, I'm okay with placing him in the townpile now. The OMGUS response is typical of him, as A50 pointed out.
I don't see anything in
Creature's
ISO that tells me he was OMGUSing. Are you referring to a specific post?

Is where
Creature
pointed out that his OMGUSing toward
Almost50
wasn't true.

In post 197, Taly wrote: Could you elaborate on your personal meta-read with Creature? Also, what do you think about TheGoldenParadox's 149
I was in this game with him where he was town IC, and his posting style was very similar to here - didn't make his entrance til post 124, and then would respond to posts with one-line or one-word posts.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74442

Similar meta here as VT.

viewtopic.php?f=51&t=74021

I think 149 is iffy, it was a misrep but could be rooted in misunderstanding. I'm not getting strong town-vibes from TGP but the wagon seems opportunistic so I'm staying off of it til I have a better reason to get on.
1)
THANK GOD. Someone is giving a meta read while linking something to support it. I'll look into it.

2)
I haven't liked any of
TheGoldenParadox's
replies to his wagon since that post, and by extension, this post as well. Has your thoughts on the wagon changed?

3)
What strikes
Kopherald
as town to you? He's one of the people I've seen the town be a little divided on.


Spoiler: ISO on Kopherald


These posts are mostly asking questions to players. I know that doesn't state much, however, I feel comfortable knowing that
Kopherald
is one of the people who ARE trying to figure things out...
In post 52, Kopherald wrote:VOTE: Shadpearl

My question still stands to Pigeonman, I don't get the associative, but see Shadpearl as scum.

Also, I like our tags working, other head.

What do you think of ?

This looks like his scum game to me. I've seen it before.

I've played with TGP before, and as town, each one time, and then I looked a bit into his meta when I saw the major difference.

TGP just has a strange dichotomy in town and scum game, where his scum play has weird ways of fake scum hunting where he claims to want to sort out people by lynching others from what I recall of his scum game. Town game, he was much more straigthforward, voting for his scum reads, even sharing a bit less information about supposedly trying to sort people.

I know he has only posted three times, but two of those three look like his scum play to me, and nothing like his town plays.

-Brass
Doomfeathers
and
TheGoldenParadox
have both posted since these quotes. Has your opinions' changed?

Also, if your vote on him has meta-reasoning, do you have a specific ended game in mind?

Paradox wasn't, and I usually assume scumreads are in order one way or the other myself. :shrug:

TheGoldenParadox (Potential Scum)
- Quick vote and associative tell once
Almost50's
wagon gained momentum... after I line-by-lined him and voted
Doomfeathers
. and This was his second post in the game. So I don't know how he came to that conclusion.

Doomfeathers (Scum)
- Overcautious posts Inconsistent reasons of voting, quick votes on wagons. Explains when it isn't necessary. Scumread but not voted on by other scumread.


Almost50 (Scum)
- Tunnels
Creature
for out-game reasons. Little explanaton of push, and falsely accuses me when my view doesn't align with his. AtE at some points. Has not done anything other than a PL on
Creature
. Misrepped me once. Associates
Doomfeathers
and
Creature
... but then associated me with
Creature
the moment he gets any pushback.
My scumread on him was reinforced in his
That should have been "@TGP, A50 and doomfeathers are clearly on the same level on the list"

I did not realize until now it was unclear.

-Brass
At that time,
TheGoldenParadox
was the least of my scumreads.

Now, it's more like the opposite. My views on
Almost50
haven't changed much at all, and I'm leaning back to town with
doomfeathers
.

Also, what makes you so confident in Creature being town now?
the amount of effort you're putting in leads me to believe you are likely town.
Why do you think effort is related to alignment?
Because scum already know who is town and who is scum. Sure it's possible to fake long-winded readslists as scum, but imo, this type of thinking-out-loud posting usually comes from town.
It isn't always the case, I've seen some really strong scum players make big posts, and create strong arguments that usually give strong town vibes.

In usual cases, the amount of effort being put in by players are often transparent and you can sense which alignment it is coming from.

- Kop
In that case, have you formulated a solid read through my posts? Do you have anything to ask me?


Spoiler: ISO on Shadpearl
There's so few posts here that there's not much to pick at t that I haven't already reread, or mentioned. I don't think that necessarily indicates alignment, though.

No questions or statements toward
TheGoldenParadox
? He's got a wagon, and to my opinion, he's responded very poorly to it.
In post 215, Shadpearl wrote:Anenien - I was really hoping to get more of an explanation of what was supposedly different about Tex's game? But he/she? didn't really give much which WOULD be suspicious, I think, but their post seemed so helpful. I'm torn. Sorry I don't have more to add. >~<
ISO
Texcat
and give me your analsysis on her.


I'm liking
Kopherald
for town right now.
Jury is still up on
Lalendra
, but I still feel she's town.
I'm not interested in pushing
Shadpearl
at the moment.

Going to look at
Texcat
,
profii
, and someone else in more detail in a post or two.

Cool.... You could explain why. Also;
Almost50 wrote:OK, Creature can be Town for now, which means I TR the entire wagon on TGP, but I'm not sure he is scum.

I'm fairly confident on doom being Scum though so..

VOTE: doomfeathers

In fact, if I could turn today into me vs doom gladiator thing I would.
1)
You haven't elaborated too much on your
Doomfeathers
read, specifically since he's recently posted.
- It's unconvincing to bring attention to
Doomfeathers
without a revised case.

2)
Also, you're setting up a dichotomy between yourself and
Doomfeathers
. Assuming you're town, why would you want to narrow a D1 wagon and/or lynch with yourself as a candidate?
- Especially if you're uncertain with
TheGoldenParadox's
alignment.
