Don't you find Flavor's post to be self-conscious? Scum start the game thinking about themselves. Town start the game thinking about everyone else.

I get that, but randomly assigning rooms before people have had a chance to form town reads doesn't accomplish that.

That would make sense why you were the only one sketched out about the room idea.
If I were scum I'd love a 2/3 room - would likely be pretty easy to pocket the townie.

If you say so... :roll:
This is scummy.
Why would you expect someone who's never played with you before (and never even heard about you until a few days ago) to guess that you're a unique player and judge you according to some special set of rules?

p-edit: it's a general comment, nothing about you in particular.

You've got it backwards. I didn't question people who were like lol let's just get a PT. I questioned plot for pushing a structured rollout of rooms, and even assigning people to them. IOW, I was questioning the person who actually was trying to micromanage the mechanic.

i never said you questioned people who just lolpicked

imo plot wasn't really trying to micromanage so much as just encouraging the rooms in the first place

plot just wants rooms, you want rooms with a specific point / purpose
Huh? Plot wants rooms with a specific purposes: "for town to have places to work together out of scum's eyes,: and to "scumhunt people in private differently from you can scumhunt them in public."

I agree with the first, and am pointing out that it makes sense to, you know - actually have somewhat of a town read on someone before getting in a room with them for secret scum hunting. That's why I invited Dunn, as he was asking the same questions as I was.

I really don't agree with the second point.

That’s why it’s two sets of batches. Everyone gets two.

In post 154, tris wrote:@Persivul is your vote on Flavor just based on his first post or has his further content reinforced it?
There's more:

- calls me scummy for applying a standard read technique to him because he's a unique snowflake and it doesn't apply to him. I don't know him. Why would he find it scummy that I'm analyzing him like that? I could understand if he said That doesn't apply to me, check my meta and you'll see. But there's no reason to find me scummy for it. He's apparently a BSD. If I'm scum and he's town, why would I pick a fight with him early?

- Oh yeah, I just said the guy's scummy, I better vote him.

But then there's - "I’m overreacting. I realize that. I just got a little triggered from actually putting thought into the thread, then seeing the Persovul comments." That seems more like something an overreacting town would say. Scum would probably feel the need to stay the course at least for awhile. But if he's as good a scum player as he says, that's something he might do.

I'm too busy IRL to be in a dozen neighborhoods. If I knew that would be expected, I wouldn't have signed up for this game. The setup language - "if players are engaging in an annoying argument or if you just want a neighbourhood with your friends" - certainly doesn't indicate that.

Not sure why I can't quote myself, but anyway:

I was asked what I thought of plot. To paraphrase, I said:

- His first post is bad. I get using rooms for a reason. But, just making rooms to make rooms eventually sows confusion, and that benefits scum.

- Then I noted that I didn't like the reason given for the dunn vote in because:

- It's not unusual for people to talk about novel mechanics at the start of a game.
- In , plot then addresses me and doesn't show suspicion, when I had expressed the same thoughts about rooms as dunn did.
- Again in 141 - "I am excited about the opportunity to apply graph theory to this coordination problem but we could scumhunt instead." But at that point, plot had mostly been talking about mechanics and had done very little scum hunting.

Then in - "Clemency, you've disappeared. What are your reads?" This struck me as plot thinking
Oh yeah, I haven't been scum hunting either, better throw some in

In post 221, tris wrote:I don't understand this part. Why would making a bunch of rooms sow confusion?
- I'd want to compare and contrast what a person said in a single room with me to what they say in a room with a third person and in the general thread. As threads multiply, that's got to get difficult.

- I would think that all these rooms would eventually lead to cases of he said/she said. Personally I think three person rooms are good for that reason. Unless two scum get in, what happens can be verified.

I didn't mention it in the previous post, but I also think the rooms tend to create apathy in the main thread. It's gotten pretty slow.

In post 257, Plotinus wrote:
Get a Room: Plotinus, Flavour Leaf

Point 1: Across the games that I've moderated with this setup,
70% of scum players complained in public about rooms
. Town were usually enthusiastic about them or at least neutral, though a few townies struggled to keep up if they were in fewer rooms than most people.
Is the scum team {pers, dunn, ruby}?

If not, you're using a stat disingenuously to push me, probably because I made a case on you to which you haven't responded.
Point 2:
Selective listening
: When Persivul is trying to smear somebody and it turns out that his point is false, he completely ignores this information. For example, in -, he ignores the clarification that Clemency's post restriction was 5 minutes away from expiring when I made that comment, so what I and Clemency understood my comment to mean was "I don't expect an answer in the next five minutes, but when you're free to talk about, please tell me..."
Except that had nothing to do with my case on you. I just think your attitude and wording was rude.
He also continues to act like it's scummy that I'm pushing rooms when I've clarified multiple times that having modded this setup gives me insight into what the best strategy for town is. He has to do this because he knows that rooms are making it harder for him to control the game as scum.
He's not trying to find out the truth, he's just trying to push his agenda.
Continues to act like it's scummy? I made one point about your push for rooms being scummy: "His first post is bad. I get using rooms for a reason. But, just making rooms to make rooms eventually sows confusion, and that benefits scum."

Note that I was paraphrasing an argument that I had made several days previously in a room, and that referred to your first post on rooms. My main reason for scum reading you is your push on Dunn, as is apparent in that post.

After you clarified your reasoning on rooms, I actually agreed with you in part: "Huh? Plot wants rooms with a specific purposes: "for town to have places to work together out of scum's eyes,: and to "scumhunt people in private differently from you can scumhunt them in public."

I agree with the first
,"

So, you're misrepping me when you act as if I'm inflexible in my assessment of your position on rooms.
Point 3:
Tone
. Persivul tends to use a different tone when he's town than when he's scum.
Do you have examples?

I had both a town game and a scum game end yesterday:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77928
viewtopic.php?f=83&t=78139

Please, show how my tone in this game is clearly the same as my tone in the scum game, and clearly different from the tone in the town game.

I've been a little nasty in this game. Anyone who bothers to read these is going to see I wasn't like that at all in the scum game, but did show some snark in the town game.

So, either your memory is bad, your meta is out of date, or you're just making things up because I'm pushing you.

In post 271, Clemency wrote:idk 2044 felt a lot different in my opinion
Of course it felt different - we were all participating in one thread. If you compare this game to the town and scum games I linked above, you'll find that this one feels different from both of those as well. This game is different from most games. The relevant question is, is my tone in this game closer to my tone in town games, or my tone in scum games? Another possibility is that my tone isn't AI at all.

You should also consider scum motivations for my play in this game. What's the motivation for scum!persivul to pick a fight with a town leader*, and to proactively make a push on that person? There is none. A scum I'd NK plot, not make a risky and unnecessary early D1 push.

*Make no mistake that plot has set himself up as a town leader. If scum pulls that off, it's game over, particularly with the lack of investigatives in this setup. That's part of why I'm vetting plot
now

But off the top of my head, wifom city, friends and enemies, Evolution mafia, Mexican standoff. I'll be the first to admit that those games were a long time ago, and the difference isn't as pronounced between your latest two games, though I do think it's there. Maybe your last scum game wasn't as frustrating as this one.

It's not a matter of being snarky; I like a bit of snark as much anyone. Your snark has a little more barbed when you're scum. That's all.
Here's a game from that time period in which I was town:

You were in this game (in a hydra).
A couple quotes (it won't let me use the quote function, so I'll just C&P relevant text):

Where the fuck do you get

Are you fucking insane?


Likewise. I don't know if it's a language issue

There, I showed a game in which I was town and nasty.

I could also show a game from that time in which I was scum, yet calm and polite. Would that also be "forcing it"?

In post 286, tris wrote:@Persivul What do you think of players other than Plotinus?
Dunn - lean town, both from PT and main content.
You - town. Was saying this privately pretty early. Plot's a name, so I didn't think you'd ask for a room with him if you were scum. Plus, since then, you've had both pros and cons to say about him.
Clem - quiet and guarded relative to other games I've seen him in.
Gamma - I always have difficulty with gamma. Hate to say it but I don't think she's a great player, and I have to separate poor play from scummy play. She frequently misinterprets things I say, to the point I can't tell if she's strategically misrepping me, or just not understanding. That said, I don't like that she was asking questions in the PT but not giving anything herself - struck me as gathering ammo rather than trying to solve.
SS - hasn't said much in main. In his few posts he has poked at people, and hasn't jumped on a wagon, so that's good.
Ruby - I've never seen him this quiet, and I don't know what to make of it.

Especially the first part, scum don’t have to be in that set for one scum to complain about rooms being set up. That’s some very blatantly wrong logic.
Do you understand the logic?

Plot identified three people who had complained about the rooms, and said that in his experience modding scum tend to complain about the rooms. It's reasonable for me to then ask why I'm the only one being pushed, and why the other two in the list aren't also scum (I forgot at the time it's a micro and was thinking of a standard mini 3p team). Plot seemed to understand the point, and responed that yes, dunn is his other main scum read.

I provide counter examples to what you seem to be saying, but you say no, it's too subtle for that. You sound like scum pushing an agenda and moving the goalposts so that it's unfalsifiable, or town who's confbiasing.

I feel like if they were TvT one of them would have been the death. There's still the WIFOM about it, but I'm feeling that scum is Persivul and then one of Clemency/Ruby
So, you think that:

- I let Plot, who scum reads me, live
- I killed Tris, whose last mention of me in was a town read.

The logic of that is...?

This pinged me slightly at the time. Coupled with the facts that you didn't come back toward deadline to discuss, and it's plurality lynching (with town loss of deflector), this is scummy af. Basically, you didn't care whether it was me or gamma who died, and hey, clem would be fine too...and you didn't care enough about keeping the deflector to come back and make sure there was a majority (although TBF that last point applies to others as well).

This.

First, Plot tries to sell that scum wouldn't kill the people who increase their odds (which is bullshit, because it keeps their own personal odds of being scum high):
In post 554, Plotinus wrote: On this setup, if you are scum and you aren't paired with your most likely buddy, then you want to keep that person alive in case you get lynched, right?
For Plot, that would be Clem, and after Clem SS:

Then, Plot leads a lynch on Clem. The progression on this was terrible:
- "I'm feeling better about Clemency lately though."
- "I don't have an opinion on Clemency; I worry about him when he disappears and then I feel okay about him when he's here."
- Then, bang, a vote with no reason - but 3 posts later it moves to Dunn.
- Then, all the circumstantial crap about scum keeping their highest match alive, and another vote on Clem, which leads to a lynch.

That makes SS the person adding the most to Plot's odds, and he's night killed.

Then in , Plot points out his own low scum odds to Dunn, after the two people increasing his odds conveniently died.

To me it's just incredibly obvious that Plot is scum who's manipulating the rooms and the odds to control the game.
