*sigh* my problem with these type of PBPAs is that you're not actually quoting the post or part of the post that you find suspicious.Guardian wrote:hasdgfas is scum. At the bottom of the thread, where it says 'display posts by previous', click hasdgfas, and view his posts in isolation:
Post 0 -- he random votes for HH because he doesn't want to get hacked. He is showing care for his own well being, even in his joke.
Post 1 -- he addresses a question posed to someone else (tvod, conveniently), and talks about how "we" shouldn't do "x" because that would help "them" -- the scum. This post is trying to be helpful but isn't, and interjects so tvod can't answer the question untainted.
Post 2 -- Similarly appears to be helpful but isn't really. 'Why not play mafia?'. ...
Post 3 -- hasdgfas is definitely directing tvod here; my most probable read is scum directing scum (partner, why do you act suspiciously? act better!) but I think that scum directing new town to look nice a pro-town is an almost as probable scenario.
Post 4 -- Casts minor suspicion and comments on how 'he doesn't like' something.

Don't use the same adjective (seriously, here, and almost ridiculous) in the same couple of sentences. It makes you look like you are just employing rhetoric, when you have legitimate concerns. Your concern aside, however, aside from your prodigious use of adjectives, you haven't really made anything nearing an objective, holistic, analysis of my case, instead isolating and twisting the admittedly weakest part of it.SlySly in [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=1003218#1003218]135[/url] wrote:Your Post 92 is among the most ridiculous posts I have ever read.

Do I really come off that mean?lord_hur wrote:@HackerHuck, whose only 2 meaningful posts before his attack on Guardian had been attacks on me for reasons I qualified as quite defective. You just wrote off your first attack, but do you still think the second was justified ?
This is a good thing I asked your opinion *in general* because otherwise I would be stuck with this type of reply. I wanted to ask you a question like the others, but the only noticeable thing about you is that you were away (which I personally believe is the truth). So I asked this.SlySly wrote:Lurking is sometimes not lurking. This is very much the case for a player who has never posted in the game. You have absolutely no way of knowing if that player is lurking or just not around to contribute therefore is a null tell. I would find a player that popped in every now and then just to throw down a quick vote or FoS then fall back into lurk mode much more suspicious than I would a player that has never posted.
"I really don't like this post" IS an attack. I accept your answer though, as I have myself done the same thing before (as town).HackerHuck wrote:Do I really come off that mean?lord_hur wrote:@HackerHuck, whose only 2 meaningful posts before his attack on Guardian had been attacks on me for reasons I qualified as quite defective.

I didn't really think I was attacking you the second time, so I'm not sure what to say. When I read your quote of PyroDwarf, it made him sound scummy. Rereading your post I'm not feeling it as much as I did the first time, but that doesn't discount my initial impression. I think you're overreacting to a rather minor point I made.
You are wrong. Everyone, including SlySly who is currently attacking Mr Stoofer, thinks that he actually added to the discussion (but not necessarily in a town way, according to SlySly).thevampireofdusseldorf wrote:I have already explained that Mr Stoofers comment re lord_hur was not adding anything new to the discussion and my interpretation (aided by Mr Stoofer) shows this was a mere "I think you are scum and I am town".
The difference is not enough to be used as an argument (in my opinion).thevampireofdusseldorf wrote:If somebody adds to a bandwagon in a way you find suspicious is it then reasonable to find them suspicious also?
This is why I FoSed Mr Stoofer.
I guess my explanation for the comment "if it is merited" I have not explained too well. So I will try to give it plainly.
If you are town and add to a bandwagon then you obviously believe your suspicion is merited because you do not know if that person is scum or town.
If you are scum then you have to add suspicion when itseemsmerited.
Hmm, SlySly raised this point too; I'd like to see Mr Stoofer's answer about it.thevampireofdusseldorf wrote:So from what I have gathered Mr Stoofer added a rather pointless comment to the anti lord_hur movement and then was overly interested in if his suspicions seemed merited in my eyes.
A link with Singing Librarian ? What link ?thevampireofdusseldorf wrote:Now I dont hold what I think to be evidence enough to say Mr Stoofer is scum but I am suspicious of him and if he is scum I see a link between him and Singing Librarian.
Well, it seems the mod has decided to show us that he will give more info about the dead in the future.

Here I find it odd he states an incorect fact, maybe not paying attention to the game or perhaps needing to throw some created suspicion somewhere. Also I find it a bit strange saying lets move on from this speculation while at the same time casualy pointing out someone who was also speculating. I dont really understand the need to point this out (at least not in a post asking to move away from speculation discussion).Singing Librarian wrote:I think we need to move on, though it is interesting that other early bits of speculation on the setup (e.g. PyroDwarf's) went unmentioned.
This is the reply to my FoS. Ok so SL wished to change the discussion topic. If you wanted discussion to move away from that topic then I would assume you wouldn't want people to comment about PyroDwarf so thus it was pointless posting. As with Mr Stoofer pointless posting I believe to be perhaps a very good scum tell if you can correctly spot it. A scum has to post but he is posting for very different reasons than town, thus he will frequently post to seem active and bring up points which in fact have no benifit to town at all.Singing Librarian wrote:thevampireofdusseldorf, I wasn't trying to hush discussion. it seemed that particular thread of thought had reached the end of any usefulness, and moving on to something else would help a heck of a lot more.
So it seems I am the only possible scum to you.

The one line of his did not bring up any new points at the time of its posting but if you see this as a valid point:lord_hur wrote:You are wrong.

lord_hur wrote:if the person brings up new points, which Mr Stoofer did (the fact that I might know more than him).
we have a point made. But alas this to me is something kinda obvious and is why people don't speculate about the game set up and why those that do are told not to and are found suspicious.Mr Stoofer wrote:What I meant was this: Scum inevitabley know more about the game than the Town. They are the informed minority. And they often cannot stop themselves from showing how clever they are by successfully "guessing" aspects of the setup. As JEEP said in the wiki:
No, I still don't get it. It's a pointless question for you to ask, because Mr Stooffer's answer would always be 'yes', though it may be a lie. Him asking you whether his suspicion was merited *was* a valid question, which you never really answered (your 'yes and no' was not an answer, because the sentences that followed were not concerned with answering the question).thevampireofdusseldorf wrote: Do people understand my "if it is merited" comment?
Well, I did list six posts of yours which contained things I didn't like, the things that make me think you are scum. I think that goes beyond a five-word accusation.thevampireofdusseldorf wrote: Also I ask again why are people voting for me at this stage beyond the "you are the most scummy looking" or "I don't like your style"?
Yes, I was wrong, I missed the FoS, which was about the only thing. It just struck me as odd at the time that PyroDwarf's comments caused so little reaction compared to lord_hur's - it's always worth noting when different people get different reactions for similar things, though there could be many reasons for it.thevampireofdusseldorf wrote: I generally play by focusing on a few people at a time and since I mentioned Singing Librarian earlier then a few things stand out at me as a bit scummy.

This is what will happen, yes - as the day goes on, more people will post more things and everyone can form better opinions of them. That's what happens in mafia. You are not the only possible scum, you're just the only person who stands out to me as being scum. There must be at least one more, but nobody else stands out. Yet. Which is why I said "so far, at least".thevampireofdusseldorf wrote: Post 132So it seems I am the only possible scum to you.

Sometimes plain observations can be helpful if others haven't noticed them. And I have certainly formed opinions on several players when it comes to 'town', which should be obvious from reading my post (eg the fact that I disagree with Guardian's analysis of hasdfgas). Posting a list of 'I believe these players are town' would be unhelpful. If we all did that and certain names appeared on all of them, who do you think the scum would kill? The person we all trust, of course.thevampireofdusseldorf wrote: I do find it a bit odd you make a full player analysis when you obviously dont have any opinion on many players when it comes to scum or town except me. Is this posting out of need not desire?
They seem to be mainly plain observations of a few things each player has done.
That's pretty much what I meant. 12 posts which made me form no opinion either way because they lack content.thevampireofdusseldorf wrote: Also I just looked at Musher333 and besides quoting he has only ever posted one or two sentences per post. So twelve post but not a great deal of contribution.
