If both heads of a hydra craft their posts together, how'd they sign it as only one head?

"Getting wagoned is scum-indicative because they got page-3 lynched as scum"
^Poor-ass logic here.
I thought it was a joke at first, but FlavorPro being serious about it is suspect.

This is sound.

My vote's on there in spirit as well.

Also Alchemist feels town.

I like their defence on the meta scum-tell.

The mis-sign is pretty cheeky though.

Nah. The phrase-tell alone seemed a pretty good reason to place a spirit-vote there at the time.
Haven't really felt scum vibes from any other slot to be honest so far, my other head's leaning town on Varsoon though and I'm townreading Alchemist. I'll let him explain his reads.

In post 303, Varsoon wrote:lacks venom
Oooooooooh

The last time Varsoon said this was about my TvT push on DVa on Excalibur, where he was scum. ("Like you v auro feels venomless", "That's why it feels venomless")
Another time Varsoon said this was in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=75314&hilit=venom, where he was also scum. ("like it's lacking venom")
One more instance; viewtopic.php?f=84&t=38199&hilit=venom, also scum. ("lacked the typical venom")

There's a towngame where he says "I'm used to town Mac having a lot less venom", but contextually feels different.
There's one more where he says "you lost a good bit of the venom", which also doesn't exactly match directly calling something venomless.

Possible scumtell?

Stay in your Hydra, detective.
I just went to your profile, searched "Venom", and it showed me your entire usage of the word in all posts.
I went into each of the games it was mentioned in and checked your alignment.

About the context thing, I mean using it as a direct address ("the case lacked venom", or "the push lacked venom"), independent of whether the case was on you or not. In Excalibur, you called my TvT venomless.

I'll do a deeper study into it later since I'm off my computer. :P

1. Decry it as such

Neither happened, which is curious to me.
Dunno if it's all that fruitful of a line of inquiry, though. :/
Decrying it would partially negate the effect it could have on the person you triple voted.
"Playing into it" one of the better ways of doing this is to not comment on it at all IMO.

He's not singling out any player or saying that the lack of response is AI, though.
Town and scum needn't necessarily react the same way to the triple vote, and he's exploring possible motivations behind why scum, in particular, would ignore it -- especially in the lens of Shoshin being scum. While it is stretched and not really convincing, it's not invalid analysis.

In post 501, Shoshin the worst wrote:The fact that we're playing our hydra in this way is actually a town tell for us because if we had received a scum PM we would have used every scummy tool at our disposal, including extensive hydra dissonance, cluttering the thread with disorganized back-and-forth arguments with each other that served no purpose other than drowning out meaningful posting, as well as other scummy tactics that hydra mechanics make possible. As you should know by now, neither of us would ever limit ourselves in this way as scum. Especially me (Shoshin). I don't have a hydra meta so limiting myself like this in my first game as a hydra isn't something I'd do as scum.
I'm disliking this. I could argue that not signing with the intention of "synchronisation" can also be beneficial to scum, allowing you to fudge tone, delay responses, and make it difficult to carry a conversation with one of your heads.

Buzzwords are also great when they capture the essence of an argument, removing the need to explain it. I don't think the accusation I made needed much elaboration, but here's my rebuttal to your response anyway.

Sure, going "Oh that was Towny where did that come from?" Is a legitimate feeling to have, but doesn't pair off with "I towntold a bunch of times" -- the latter portrays an awareness to the tells. I don't trust that it's beyond your capability to know how town!you would behave and then behave in a similar fashion. Also, you're exaggerating how ridiculous it is to make those moves as scum - for example, I've already pointed out benefits to non-signing as scum.

What is remotely townie about Nico’s opening post?
Absolutely nothing, I'm surprised at the "meta townleans" there and hence a bit suspect as well. Especially when the slot has a grand total of 3 posts (or had, at the time of those reads).

I'm feeling less confident on my URAP2 read right now, I'm up for a wagon on Nicorobin. It does look like unhappiness with her role PM, and the "meta" townleans there I find stupid -- more like made-up reasons not to vote there, so I think it's a good wagon.

VOTE: Nicorobin

May as well treat that slot as conftown today, and not lynch it.

I'm comfortable with my vote on Nico. I think a scum flip there would be useful anyway, given we have associatives already WRT who's trying to lead away from her lynch, and such.

Is there anyone convincingly scum at this point? I'm not seeing scum!STW how Varsoon is.

I believe that there can be a town motivation for scumreading me. I didn't say town!you town!reads me 100%

We can post game why I'm not into reading myself in the thread. It basically boils down to the wifom/not wifom discussion you're in the middle of and my having no interest in having those types of discussions
The problem we're having here is that you kicked off this rabbit hole discussion by voting us because you believe town!tw should be townreading you, plus the hydra dynamic which for the umpteenth time should not be deemed alignment indicative.

I'm trying to parse how you came to the conclusion that it's scum indicative for us to be scumreading you and pushing you just because the worst and you have history. I still do not understand your rationale here.

If you think TW should >rand be townreading you, we definitely need a better metric against which to measure your towntells, because it means what we are doing at the moment is on the wrong track.

This conversation is pretty important. If you do need to back out of it for
holistic playstyle/meta reasons
we understand but also please try to see that from our perspective, that leaves you joining out wagon late into its formation for almost exactly no reason...

By the way @duck, why scumreading us? Felt like it came out of nowhere.

TW actually used the phrase “holistic playstyle/meta reasons” here, not “holistical reads”. I looked into this, and TW using phrases like “holistic meta” or “holistic read” is definitely not a towntell for him. In fact, he used the phrase “holistic meta” in the first Starcraft game (as scum) four different times. I searched TW’s posts for the phrases “holistic meta”, “holistic read”, “holistic play”, and “holistic playstyle” as this is what I found:

TW has used the phrase “holistic meta” four times in the first Starcraft game as scum (link: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=77970):

I think he's already answered that question really well, and I think his answer was town indicative. Mewtaph has ignored his reads and later contribution and comments about playstyle anxiety leading him to freak out about the early townreads. Follow his reads and it's probably pretty clear that he had his own takes, but the Big Bad Townblock was too much for him to like.

Mewtaph thinks he's a mislynch / has not noticed that Xtoxm's initial freak-out about the townreadspam actually kinda checks out, so shades him for not responding and votes him over ellitell

I ask Mewtaph to back the ellitell up with an actual scumcase. He cites the very early part of Xtoxm's contributions. I ask him to go back to his later iso and show me which of Xtoxm's posts are making him still feel that way

Nancy randomly charge-tackles me to the ground and Mewtaph stands there watching us and acting all surprised that I asked him to back up this read.

Like idfk he hasn't warlocked Nancy, she did it of her own volition but I'm fucking done if I'm being shaded for asking someone who's done sweet fuck all to back up a horseshit holistic meta tell with an actual scumcase on a slot I'm townreading

I'm kinda flashing back to something someone said to me pretty recently but if scum always made reckless antitown moves and town never did mafia would be like.. obscenely easier than it is. do you have reasoning other than an holistic meta dislike of hammers on unclaimed slots?

No results came up for “holistic play” or “holistic playstyle” when searching TW’s posts.

Granted, TW has used phrases like “holistic read” or something along those lines as town, but in this game the exact phrase he used in post was “holistic playstyle/meta reasons”, and he has used “holistic meta” four times as much as scum than he has as town. In any case, TW frequently uses the word “holistic” in general (there are 41 results for just the word “holistic” when searching TW’s posts), so at best him using the phrase “holistic playstyle/meta reasons” is NAI for him. So
@Pinturicchio
, why were you so quick to label this as a “towntell” for TW when it clearly isn’t?

And
@The Worst
, what are your thoughts on Pinturicchio incorrectly applying this as a “towntell” for your slot?

Flavor Leaf, you talked about wagon compositions on Mew/STW a lot - were you basing reads on them off the wagons, or were you using your reads on them to analyze the wagons?

I'm not voting STW, I think they're town.

Mewtaph's the next biggest wagon with 3 votes according to the quoted VC, I'm not sure about them - I think town more than scum though, and that slot should be readable later.

Kokichi's slot has been quite useless, and there's NO reason to townread them. We're getting a small deadline extension, I'd like everyone to vote here.

I think it's more likely that Kokichi is either trolling or has a role he feels will hard-confirm him as town.
Regardless, given how Kokichi's claim played out in Starcraft Mafia 1, I find it obscene how STW is pushing there, especially because from their PoV they admit to thinking I'm not the vig, so they are full aware that Kokichi could be softing he's the vig, which lines up with the IC claim.
1. If you're the town vig and think Kokichi's softclaiming Vig, that should make him a good lynch for you, yes?
2. How much do you think Kokichi lies WRT these things? Does he never lie about this sorta stuff as town?

1. Nope, read the quote above. I believe he's got a role that he feels will hard-confirm him as town.
2. He lies about these things most of the time, but the lies are more misdirects than outright lies.
1. I don't get it - you said you *don't* believe the setup would have both a hard-confirmable town and also a vig. So you don't think both vig and IC would exist, but vig and "role that
can
hard-confirm someone as town" is possible? I think I'm misinterpreting your thought process here, clarify?
2. I still think those "misdirects" are anti-town. Apparently the last time he claimed IC he didn't even mod-confirm it, which is pretty dangerous - I think as long as he's not straightforward with it there's no reason to trust him. I'll check how often he claims IC right off in his scumgames.

If he has a propensity to much around and "misdirect" as town, this means he can retract it later and wave off scumreads when his being IC is disproved, so that factors into why I wouldn't refrain from lynching him in this case, too.

Ugh! Really sorry. Requoted.

Exactly, his claim shouldn't even factor in to a read on him is my point here.
I think even if his beliefs turn out to be BS, he'll be able to fight off the lynch since he does this as town, too.
I thought you were hesitant to lynch him because of his IC claim -- so do we agree that's a non-factor?

What do you make of his play apart from the IC claim here?

I find his quality of play rather poor - the lack of response to Chara's rebuttal on the whole "town Chara waits on me" argument is concerning. Use of meta on Chara when she misread him as either alignment recently is concerning.

The vote on Shoshin is primarily OMGUS - "Horrible vote and reasoning and thought process" without any explanation, is bad.

@Profii

I don't really have a *solid* read on STW, gut-town but that doesn't matter, I'm not gonna bother trying to towncase them when I'm focused on trying to get a better lynch.

My point is that I don't want them *lynched* today.

You're not accounting for the possibility that the wagon's not growing because the cases are bad. Your slot's case on them borders on some sorta weird circular logic, and Varsoon's case wasn't convincing either.

Contrast with the case on Kokichi Oma, which isn't empty, and pretty good. Why do you think Kokichi is town? "He is mislynch bait, therefore shouldn't be lynched" is bad logic.

If you want me to explain any part of this in detail, ask away. I'm ready to vote them if you can convince me their slot is scummy. Shoot.

This looks like a self preservation move to try to shift the momentum off of them onto Kokichi.
Umm, what would you expect town!STW to do? They were also parrying attacks on them, it's reasonable to also scumhunt.

I disagree that going after "ML bait" is scummy, especially when you're townreading a bunch of people and this is PoE - are you arguing that they should have rather voted a townread than Kokichi?

This also sets up a mislynch path and general plan of action.
Again, reasonable of STW - if Kokichi's green, he was honest about Chara's read of him, and it's fine that they'd reconsider. You could shade ANY statement that goes "If X flips green I'll reconsider Y" the same way, it's empty.
In post 1392, ProFlavor wrote:The fact that Varsoon, Mewtaph, and I are the three on Shoshin right now shows me that this is more than likely a scum slot.

Varsoon is hard town here. I’ve recently gotten to witness directly both townVarsoon and scumVarsoon, and really I’ve known Varsoon for like 4 and a half years now, so I’m pretty happy with my read there.

Mewtaph is town for the wagon composition. Mustang and Nancy pushing onto a townie the way they did makes total sense, and then people, and scumShoshin, decide to jump on to Mewtaph.

This also semi incriminates Jjh slot, but I’ll let them catchup first.

I realize my slot will probably be tried to use as a counterwagon option after pushing Shoshone like this, so unless you wanna try to 1v1 me and out explain the damn awful play it would have been to let Mewtaph live in this situation as scum...well, go for it. I could have just kept not playing the game and allowing Profii to play in that situation. Mewtaph likely would have been killed.

So there, Mewtaph and I would have to be scum together AND you’d have to think I would Super obviously protect them in this position AND I would hard town read Varsoon, a solid player who I know would very much end up tunneling me if he thinks I’m scum.

Long story short, Only town are on the Shoshin wagon right now. Bet.
You're townreading two others on the wagon, and hence Shoshin's scum to you - not convincing at all when a large number of us aren't sold on Mewtaph being town yet, and your slot too.
"Shoshin's scum because Varsoon/Mewtaph are town"
"Mewtaph's town because scum!Shoshin opportunistically jumped onto the wagon"


I've explained why I think the case is empty - feel free to convince me otherwise.

My rebuttal of Varsoon's case.
Spoiler:
In post 461, Varsoon wrote:
@Michael Slott:
The appeals they made while I was pushing them were not the kind of appeals that I associate with town.
The whole 'stretch your mind' appeal is one that I've only seen them make as scum.
When confronted with this piece of meta that wasn't even all that damning, their defense was to handwave that the hydra has no meta, which isn't really an argument that I'd see either Shoshin or TW making, as town, when confronted this way.
They produced a Taly scumread when under pressure, but when asked to elaborate on that scumread, they failed to be able to do so and instead defaulted to a position that I hard scumread--that they have some sort of info/tell that they can't share and are waiting to reveal. This is a scum position because they can just either; 1. Come up with a convenient lie later, once they've had time to think on it and Taly has more content or 2. They can just never reveal it if people forget about it.
The way they handled my pressure in regards to the Taly scumread isn't forthright as Shoshin usually is as town and reads as scummy to me.
Since then, they've largely done nothing of note and seem to have basically taken my pressure on them as an excuse to duck out for a 'cooling off' period where they can let suspicion on them subside/die entirely. Town doesn't do this, in my experience.
Their resistance re:signing isn't something that I townread.
How they handled the signing thing isn't something I see coming from a town mindset, either. Obviously, there's the WIFOM that stubborn town just wouldn't concede to signing or that scum wouldn't back down to try to seem like stubborn town or that backing down would be survivalist from a scum PoV but honestly

I just don't like it.

Couple that with people finding a lot of quick reasons to wagon someone who had, up to that point, phoned in pretty easy-to-attack play and the general way the wagon was abandoned and I can come to one of two conclusions:

1. STW slot is scum.
2. If not, STW slot isn't playing in a pro-town manner and had scum on their wagon.

Out of all of the players in the game, STW has the most amount of content that I scumread, so I'll be keeping my vote there and still working for a lynch there. The natural discrediting tactic that you're going to see happen is that scum will try to call this a tunnel, despite me being engaged with other slots, reading the game, and trying to figure it out beyond STW. They'll try to act like having a scumread you want to get lynched is a tunnel, somehow, and therefore unlikely to produce a flip on scum; it's important that you know this is absolutely a discrediting tactic and dismiss it as such.
1. "Stretch Your Mind" is a poor "scum-tell", and I recall you even saying you were goofing around about it earlier. Their "we have no meta" is icky, but the way I interpreted it is that they don't have a meta as a cohesive single-unit (not either head individually) and that wasn't even their only defense against the presented scum-tell, so gives me some cherry-picking feels.
2. WRT the Taly thing, I went back and read it - You're saying that only scum would hold a belief that they'd hold back on explaining a read to see if it solidifies based on certain behaviours. While I can see the scum motivation for it, it definitely is valid as a scumhunting method - so I argue there's town motivation here too. Even "cooling off" - it could simply come from frustrated!them.
3. The not-signing thing isn't really a reason to scumread them, I believe. You do seem to agree on this.
4. About your prediction of them calling it a tunnel - I don't see why only scum would call it a tunnel, unless you have evidence they were just doing that without rebutting attacks and scumhunting elsewhere, this shouldn't lend them any scum equity.
5. Wagon composition - Your conclusions are pretty obvious, of course FYPOV they're scum or "not pro-town" town, there's no evidence that the former's more probable.
6. You also accuse them of wanting to lynch Kokichi later - given Kokichi's meta and his play, I think it's fine that they wanted to.


I'm not townreading them yet, but I'm pretty sure they're a bad lynch.

In post 1626, Varsoon wrote:Koki and Mewtaph? Low info, shit lynches, trash flips, probably not worth.
I disagree with the "low info" part, I see it as beneficial to town to remove such a player (who IMO has low-quality play, and is likely a liability to town), and obviously a scum-flip there would be useful when you consider who's voting him and who's reluctant. I don't see how a town-flip on Kokichi is any less useful than a town-flip on, say, STW?

What would a townflip on STW tell you?
What would a townflip on Kokichi Oma tell you?

I'll be looking at associations TO Kokichi, not associations FROM Kokichi.
A scumflip there would make STW clearly town in my eyes.
Then I'd start looking at how people interacted with his slot OR what they said about it, at various points in D1 - is that not useful in your view?

I'm not sold on the idea that a "difficult townflip" gives any great info. You've already said they're not playing pro-town if town, so that clearly means you're not going to take their own reads as useful information. The "useful information" then comes from interactions towards them, as in who jumped onto the wagon and who didn't - and even here there's too little to really go off of, and not *significantly* greater than a wagon like Kokichi's.

Even then, I'm highly confident STW is a "better" town player than "Kokichi", and the disadvantage of losing town!STW is a lot more than losing town!Kokichi.

Even then, I've debated that the slot holds any significant scum equity. Just because someone's interacted a lot doesn't mean they're a good lynch.

I recall, from a really old game you had an argument with Thor665 about almost exactly this - removing an "easy" player versus a difficult one, what was the conclusion you reached in that discussion?

Well, I actually don't share your opinion that they've been anti-town - I responded to your case, too, at the beginning of this page.
I would say that a premature shot on them was bad. I don't think they're a liability to town, especially compared to a slot like Kokichi.

IMO a lurker slot that's also not really contributing -- if Kokichi's not lynched, that would be a *great* candidate, and solve the "bad info flip" problem too.

Between STW and Mewtaph, I get the feeling both could be town here - if one of them was scum, given the current unpredictability in who's getting lynched I'd expect scum to try and aggressively push the other. I dunno who I'd choose if it came down to a compromise between them, at the moment I'm leaning Mewtaph but I have to look closer there - but I will vote for either if we're too close to the deadline and there's no chance of a wagon on someone else.

You have the claimed vig refusing to shoot Kokichi - as "ML bait" that would affect the gamestate negatively in later days as compared to now :$

It appalls me that I could play badly enough to be called "Easy Mislynch Bait" and be an actual liability to town, and avoid getting lynched and killed. :$

In post 1600, Shoshin the worst wrote:I'll switch to jjh as a sheer compromise but if that slot's town we'll start to see it.
I would've been fine with a Nico lynch but it seems like JJH plays in a non-lurk way and I trust that we'll start to see if it's town.

And Kokichi? I don't think so. We'll just continue to have that bad quality play, where he could be any alignment, and still a liability to town in my eyes.

Nancy, I think you tend to dislike anyone who begins to scumread you, so you do carry some bias I think - but Mewtaph's posts actually carry a lot of depth in them - compare to any scumgame of his, I think there's a slight difference. *shrug* Need to do a deeper study but I'm leaning town slightly.

Shoshin actually began to scumread Mew less recently, and I think that's kinda town-indicative for her, since scum!STW would be survivalistic and probably try to push the second-biggest wagon.

@Meph:

Can you concisely state your list of reasons to scumread Mew? We can talk about it.
I'm not deciding that I know what you think, I'm saying that IME you generally tended to scumread people who scumread you, so inductively it may hold here as well, contributing some bias.

I think Kokichi is pro-scum, it's not a simple matter of disliking his playstyle.

Let's talk about Mew, since you scumread him.

VOTE: Mewtaph

Between STW and Mewtaph currently I'd choose this (although I like their posts and wanna continue playing with them :/ ), I feel this both are town wagons so scum's easiest move is to lurk, and that's likely what they're doing - so I want to get opinions from people

5) Scumly PL lynch bs.

6) Baseless hostility.
Weird numbering, but okay:
A) You're talking about post - if it made little sense to you, did you ask him to clarify? My best paraphrasing of that rather wordy post is: "Alchemist appears to be present without actually offering any opinions of merit to an exchange, this is scummy; feels artificial; took multiple stances but retracted them leaving options wide open" - these strike me as fine points to make, what about them is senseless?
3) Can you expand on the differences? And also note similarities with his scumgames?
4) He explained the motivation behind that question, I submit it's not weird - "Do you expect me to townread you for what you've posted so far" (not exactly what he asked but the spirit of it) is a fine question, and he did make use of the reaction.
5) Why is it scummy, exactly? His point was that you were making it hard for him to engage/push his scumread and not because of logical disagreements, if I remember right - can you really not see town saying this?
6) This is something I checked against his meta, and he's not been hostile in previous scumgames as far as I read, so I don't see why it's necessarily... scummy, again? So many people come off as a bit "hostile" as town.

Yes. ProFlavor, Mewtaph and Kokichi are all strongly pushing that wagon.

Please do read Mew's ISO, he has been more active - he's being pushed for a bunch of reasons I don't really agree with, and I'm leaning town from his posts. I'd love to hear your opinions on that slot.

Sure thing :D

@Nance:

That you appear to have bias makes me less inclined to sheep you easily; and also informs others not to; and also helps you better reads if it does exist and you recognize it, thus pro-town. :P

You said it was senseless and you don't buy it. His reasoning was devoid of meta, why would he need to have meta-knowledge to make that attack? Fine if you don't "buy" his attack, but scumreading him for it is a stretch, no? If you don't agree with it, it's NAI - unless you show me why his arguments were scummy.

I just went to his profile and read around three scumgames exclusively - his general posting seemed to be slightly shallower, and nowhere as complex as here. I'd like you to show the differences in his play exactly from SC1 to here, though? I'll know better what to look for when I go check his previous games.

Eh, it wasn't exactly a PL - he did have some reason to want to lynch you which was related to the current game. My current push on Kokichi Oma could also be construed as a "Policy Lynch" - do you think I'm scummy for it?

WRT his engaging you - prioritization (he wanted to push on stronger scumreads), and also you just called his push senseless and left it at that - I actually don't think this is as scummy as you make it out to be.

Why are you more confident in Nico than Kokichi? Do you not trust Shoshin when she says JJH will be readable in time?

It's not a discredit - inductively I'm allowed to make that observation, and I'm not using it to say you're wrong. If I'm wrong about the bias that *I* perceive of you having, people are free to disagree. :P

Look at STW's read progression there on Mewtaph. In their latest readslist they actually scumread Mewtaph less IIRC. Anyway, soulreads are stupid.

Why does it have the greatest scum equity? My argument is that if it IS scum, we'd more easily know in coming days than Kokichi's slot, *also* Kokichi's play is a liability for town.

I recall saying it wasn't exactly a PL, but his point was that you were obfuscating / cluttering the thread or something preventing him from engaging / pushing a scumread; I can see why he thought that, why wouldn't town!Mew think this?

Sorry, I seem to have missed your response to my argument, can you requote/restate it? I'm not finding it on skimming.

As to links - I'm on my phone and about to go to bed, just go to his topics and click on some games I guess. But since you already have experience with him, I asked you to detail the differences in his play - can you, please?

How is this related to the scumminess of Mew's reasons to want to lynch Nancy, Chara? That was what she seemed to be talking about in that context.

The fact you can't engage with me about why we shouldn't scumread you or should townread you had me baffled.
I believe that there can be a town motivation for scumreading me. I didn't say town!you town!reads me 100%

We can post game why I'm not into reading myself in the thread. It basically boils down to the wifom/not wifom discussion you're in the middle of and my having no interest in having those types of discussions
The problem we're having here is that you kicked off this rabbit hole discussion by voting us because you believe town!tw should be townreading you, plus the hydra dynamic which for the umpteenth time should not be deemed alignment indicative.

I'm trying to parse how you came to the conclusion that it's scum indicative for us to be scumreading you and pushing you just because the worst and you have history. I still do not understand your rationale here.

If you think TW should >rand be townreading you, we definitely need a better metric against which to measure your towntells, because it means what we are doing at the moment is on the wrong track.

This conversation is pretty important. If you do need to back out of it for
holistic playstyle/meta reasons
we understand but also please try to see that from our perspective, that leaves you joining out wagon late into its formation for almost exactly no reason...

@Varsoon, I have a towntell on the duck, on the same line of your "stretch your minds" of Shoshin. I've seen the duck using the
"holistical reads"
as town before and can't recall him doing it as scum.

By the way @duck, why scumreading us? Felt like it came out of nowhere.

TW actually used the phrase “holistic playstyle/meta reasons” here, not “holistical reads”. I looked into this, and TW using phrases like “holistic meta” or “holistic read” is definitely not a towntell for him. In fact, he used the phrase “holistic meta” in the first Starcraft game (as scum) four different times. I searched TW’s posts for the phrases “holistic meta”, “holistic read”, “holistic play”, and “holistic playstyle” as this is what I found:

TW has used the phrase “holistic meta” four times in the first Starcraft game as scum (link: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=77970):

Mewtaph has asked Xtoxm the same question a lot of us have already asked him (which townreads gave him pause)

I think he's already answered that question really well, and I think his answer was town indicative. Mewtaph has ignored his reads and later contribution and comments about playstyle anxiety leading him to freak out about the early townreads. Follow his reads and it's probably pretty clear that he had his own takes, but the Big Bad Townblock was too much for him to like.

Mewtaph thinks he's a mislynch / has not noticed that Xtoxm's initial freak-out about the townreadspam actually kinda checks out, so shades him for not responding and votes him over ellitell

I ask Mewtaph to back the ellitell up with an actual scumcase. He cites the very early part of Xtoxm's contributions. I ask him to go back to his later iso and show me which of Xtoxm's posts are making him still feel that way

Nancy randomly charge-tackles me to the ground and Mewtaph stands there watching us and acting all surprised that I asked him to back up this read.

Like idfk he hasn't warlocked Nancy, she did it of her own volition but I'm fucking done if I'm being shaded for asking someone who's done sweet fuck all to back up a horseshit holistic meta tell with an actual scumcase on a slot I'm townreading

You for real? I think Perf is scum but his hammer is the most defensible part of his ISO. The hell else was he meant to do with like 6 hours remaining? NM was clearly a very viable lynch candidate and imo if he was going to claim at all he would have already done it.

I'm kinda flashing back to something someone said to me pretty recently but if scum always made reckless antitown moves and town never did mafia would be like.. obscenely easier than it is. do you have reasoning other than an holistic meta dislike of hammers on unclaimed slots?

TW used the phrases “holistic meta” and “holistic gamestate read” one time each in Newbie 1866 as town (link: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=76047)

Link to the post where he used “holistic read”: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=77146&p=10453007&h ... #p10453007

No results came up for “holistic play” or “holistic playstyle” when searching TW’s posts.

Granted, TW has used phrases like “holistic read” or something along those lines as town, but in this game the exact phrase he used in post was “holistic playstyle/meta reasons”, and he has used “holistic meta” four times as much as scum than he has as town. In any case, TW frequently uses the word “holistic” in general (there are 41 results for just the word “holistic” when searching TW’s posts), so at best him using the phrase “holistic playstyle/meta reasons” is NAI for him. So
@Pinturicchio
, why were you so quick to label this as a “towntell” for TW when it clearly isn’t?

And
@The Worst
, what are your thoughts on Pinturicchio incorrectly applying this as a “towntell” for your slot?

This is all

Btw
This is a BS lynch list, there are 13 other slots besides your own and the only two slots you would even consider lynching unreluctantly are STW's slot and our slot? I don't buy that this solve comes from town!you.

I think you may just be hard pocketing Varsoon (who I think is town) with your tunnel on STW (who I also think is town). It's also interesting how you were on the initial STW wagon, then you joined the URAP2 wagon when STW's wagon fell apart, and now you are back on STW's wagon once again. In fact you and Pint (who I'm also skeptical of) were the two common denominators between the early STW wagon (which got up to 6 votes) and the early URAP2 wagon (which got up to 4 votes):

In post 1942, pinturicchio wrote:Volxen's case on me is awful, and Meph's swing on me is worse.

I wasn't on STW's wagon, the wagon happened when my RVS vote was there and I unvoted as soon as I could. I was on URAP2's wagon, yes, but I think I made myself clear about him...? And Michael Scott was on that wagon too, so Volxen trying to shade me while pushing ProFlavor is scummy, and I already had my doubts about that slot.

Nancy clearly disagrees with me on Taly/Creature and ProFlavor and that makes me scum... Great job, you caught me! And then you ask why is nobody listening you.

Scum is in {Creature, jjh, Kokichi, Michael Scott}

Already explained Creature and jjh, and I include Kokichi there since the chainsaw defense Taly was doing could be towards Nico or Kokichi, one or the other. Michael Scott recent swing at me with an argument he could've made 7 days ago seems manufactured, like he had that saved for when he needed to push me/ProFlavor.

I'll support any of those lynches.
Interesting how you came to hard scumread our slot (and have the exact same reads as Profii) only after we called out Profii for his BS lynch list and voted him for it. Yes, you did unvote STW after he got up to 6 votes in his initial wagon, but the fact remains that you and ProFlavor were (1) on the initial STW wagon together, (2) on the URAP2 wagon together, and now (3) on the STW wagon again together. And yes, we were on the URAP2 wagon also, but that is beside the point, which is that you and ProFlavor have been on multiple major wagons together. And particularly in the case of STW's early wagon, I don't believe he got up to 6/8 votes (L-2) without scum involvement.

Even more interesting is the fact that you have done a complete 180 on STW and joined their wagon, but only after a wagon against ProFlavor started forming.

By the way, I'm still unconvinced that your "holistic towntell" for TW was something that you genuinely believed in. Post was the post where TW used the word "holistic" one time, post was the post where you said it was a towntell for TW, and there was only a five-minute gap between the two posts. This means you didn't even think about it or meta dive TW, you just townlocked him (at the time anyways) because he used the word "holistic" one time in this game. Why should I believe that is more likely to come from town!Pint rather than scum!Pint? Because it seems more likely that it was just a fake TMI read. I think town!you would have taken sorting TW more seriously.

By the way, where exactly is Flavor Leaf? There is no way that I see town!Flavor Leaf approving that BS lynch list that Profii posted in post . Auro, Flavor Leaf and I all played together in Newbie 1900 (link: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=77781) -- Auro and FL were town in that game, and I was scum. FL was able to get an accurate townread on Auro on day one in that game, and Auro has made most of the posts on our hydra account in this game until I started posting more recently. I can't speak to how accurately I would expect town!FL to read town!me (since FL has never played with town!me before), but I don't see him completely misreading town!Auro in this game. I'm not saying that town!FL would necessarily have us as locktown here, but I don't buy that town!FL would approve a lynch list that consists of only {STW, Michael Scott}.

So let me know if I got it right: Flavor townread correctly Auro once, so he should be townreading your slot because of that; if he isn't townreading your slot, then the only conclusion is ProFlavor is scum?
Yes, I don't see town!FL having our slot as lockscum. Especially since the only post where Profii really talked about us at length was in post , where he declared us as a scumread because we listed STW as a townread:
In post 1621, ProFlavor wrote:@Michael Scott

Why do you think STW is town?

I can see loads of posts saying you don't think he is scum but I cant see anything that says why you think that...

This makes me paranoid that you KNOW STW is town rather than THINK STW is scum


I mean if you are going to say something fluffy like you soul read one of S or TW can you at least say I know X does Y as town so I'm confident - examples would really help


because I'm like trying to work out if you are trying not to bus your pal and that's why the wagon is so hard or if you are trying to be like "see told you he was town" later and come off as "Ive got good reads" when actually you're just scum and know.



I implore everyone else to ISO Michael Scott, see if you can see any evidence of why he doesn't want to lynch STW - something fishy in there imo.


~ woof
This post is bad because it presents a false dichotomy: that we are scum and our townread of STW is because either (1) we are scum together with STW and don't want to bus them or (2) we are scum and STW is town and we want towncredit if or when STW flips green. He acts like it's a forgone conclusion that one of those two scenarios has to be the case, and he doesn't even consider the possibility that (3) STW and our slot are both town and we simply have an accurate read on them or (4) STW is scum and we are town that is misreading their slot.

It's like Profii cannot fathom the possibility that we could be town and at the same time completely disagree with him on a read.

Basically, Profii's entire scumread of us is based on us townreading STW and not wanting to lynch them, which is how he made the leap from what he posted in post to his lynch list of {STW, Michael Scott} in post . I don't believe that town!FL would have us as lockscum for simply disagreeing with him on how we read the STW slot.

I asked previously: What do you make of the case on Creature? And now, Creature's defense?

In that case, let's start here.
And you defaulted to voting for our slot because...? In any case, we should be looking at the STW wagon from day one, because there was most certainly scum on that wagon. I'll be posting some VCA of STW's wagon along with my overall thoughts later, but assuming you really are town I believe that you were hard-pocketed by at least one scum on STW's wagon.

So again, why default to voting for us? We weren't even the ones who first suggested wagoning Creature.

Play being underwhelming is actually town indicative at best or NAI for me; check out my previous scumgames. I have some leads to push, but as I said, I'm waiting for answers to a few questions I haven't gotten yet.

It's not a defense per se, Varsoon, I'm saying we have leads to pursue but we're waiting for certain answers which we've not gotten yet, and my slot's going to be "less underwhelming" when that happens.

What's the problem with that?

The last sentence got cut off, I was referring to how I was proactive in trying to prevent the STW lynch.

How good are you at reading Creature?
Why is pressure on Creature bad, considering he's easy to read under pressure?

And you should know that "being underwhelming" in itself isn't something I've done as scum in my previous games, especially in my game with you. Do you disagree with this?

The opposite, I'm saying I have *NOT* been "underwhelming" as scum.
And being "underwhelming" in the sense I'm speaking of isn't bad necessarily, just that I haven't aggressively pushed anywhere yet. Why is that bad?

Contrast with Creature, who tends to post with a lot more interest as town especially under pressure, and hates playing scum and flakes as a result.

His lurking is AI there, significantly.

I think Pint and Jjh are both likely scum, and Mewtaph might be the third.

Tibor&Lumia I think is town.
Un-counterclaimed Varsoon is mechanical town.

And why does 2658 incriminate me? People (perhaps) better at reading Creature than me were calling it his scum game, I asked A50 how sure he was - explain how that's scummy?

You were also on that wagon, weren't you? And also explain why my reads on JJH/Mewtaph are bad.

I think you're bussing jjh, I started that wagon yesterday (not with a vote, but the wagon started after I pushed him), and I don't know your case against Mew but he's probably town because you're pushing him.
"Just after"? Wrong, Creature was calling me scum way before that; he started a wagon on me - go check.
This should break your case.

Also, if JJH is my buddy, help bus him? :P There's a wagon on him right now and you think both of us are scum, yet you vote me?

Yeah, but that destroys the idea that I made that post *because* he just called me scum. Obviously I was going to be scum in his final reads - and AFAIR I couldn't comment on the other game I was in with him because it was ongoing at that time.

Not only that, but he flipped town in that game - I was scum and NK'd him. When my slot was pushing him, he hyperposted to the top, was putting in a lot of effort to solve the game, and even said hyperposting is town-exclusive.

None of that happened this game.

It totally makes sense. If a person whose read accuracy on a slot is very high, and they're highly confident on said slot, flipping otherwise points towards a good likelihood of them being scum.

I was evaluating the info I had to my capability.

This would make Mephisto's flipped watcher role, for example, much more likely to find results, if say, a mafia member could only make the kill if they were within 2 positions away.

I was confident given the info I had; but I believe A50 is *better* at reading the slot. The purpose wasn't to begin to re-evaluate because the push was going through anyway, it was to hold A50 to his confidence.

I feel scum might have stayed off Creature and on JJH if jjh is town, because they'd *know* Creature is town and the Lynch makes the wagon look bad; if jjh is scum I'm not sure.

If I was scum pocketing Nancy, that's a great asset to have - because she'd be a very strong voice if a wagon built on me, fighting against my lynch. And if all her scumreads were town, I'd very happily have her live.

Haha, if you believe I was pocketing her, I can point to some instances that indicate otherwise. I recall explicitly saying her reads are biased towards scumreading people who scumread her, and we argued about it over a few posts: If I was pocketing her, no way I'd pick a fight with her that may end up with me getting scumread.

1. Look at Shoshin's reads
2. Look at Shoshin's wagon
3. Look at Meph's reads
4. Look at URAP2's reads
5. (Weaker) look at Creature's wagon

Pint, do you really not think we should scumhunt using the above 5, for the highest likelihood of hitting scum?

No and anyone currently posting in this thread, who’s actually town should unvote you now.

I think my NK equity has just shot througj the roof.

If I die, tonight, please vig/lynch Mew.

We should massclaim, see if mechanics help us hone in on scum, and wagon JJH.

Mewtaph, explain:
1. Your naked votes D2
2. Why you didn't join the Creature wagon when you "shredded" your TR on the slot
3. Your current reads

Thanks.

[Role]
[N1 movement]
[N2 movement]

Should be the claim format, regardless of whether you told your move earlier. Makes things easier. Let's start with jjh, in Varsoon's list. Go.

Guys... Wait for massclaim to finish.

Part of my information is that there are multiple BP - may not be unlimited, though. So that in itself shouldn't be a reason for scumreading someone IMO.

ALSO, whoever has BP should *not* claim it; that information is only useful to scum, and if someone with BP attracts an NK attempt, it's good for town.

I'm talking about *just* the BP parts. How would BP claims help lynch, anyway? Balance?

In post 2385, Almost Chara wrote:On fact, forget about jjh. His move towards the middle is NOT scum indicative. He was already there and he didn't move to gain any advantage, so he is unlikely to have a killing ability and -also- doesn't look afraid of being shot either.

~A50
Really, really good guess at jjh's role which makes me feel is borderline TMI.

Almost Chara, I'd like you to participate in the game more and help solve it.
@the rest: Does Chara have a lurk meta for scum? Anyone familiar with it?

We also need to puzzle out the relevance of the movement mechanics and ground/air dichotomy. I'm not able to figure out anything ATM. Any help here would be great. Where is everyone?

Pint, I'd like to hear what your other reads are - especially now that you re-evaluated my slot.

@Mew: Okay then. You promised reads and cases btw.
