I'm actually waiting for exactly that, because my plan going into this game was to sheep your vote.In post 26, Citceh wrote:Hey, everyone. This is Bobby McHec'bob speaking. First of all, I'd like to inform the mod that we don't plan on remaining anonymous (Hectic and Egduf). Best for EVERYONE involved if there's previous meta to examine. GREAT, I am SO happy that is now sorted out. Now that we have that out of the way and into the dumpster, I have some fucking fantastic reads I'd like to give out in my next post. Hope you BOTHER to read them.

VOTE: TrisIn post 28, Citceh wrote:Still Bobby speaking. This is CLEARLY an attempt to direct discussion towards non game-related and scum-finding stuff. How DISAPPOINTING. Let's lynch her with a THERMONUCLEAR WARHEAD. Glad to see we have you on our side, Mastina. Hope you enjoyed my fucking fantastic read. That's all from me for a couple of weeks.
VOTE: tris
Citceh is an anonymous hydra.
Virtually every anonymous hydra contains at least one of Any/Krazy/Ali.
Any of those three, if town, are sheepworthy.
They have a 75% chance of being town.
Therefore, there is a 75% chance that sheeping their vote is a good idea.
My logic is flawless.- mastina

Full disclosure I am utterly...can't remember quite the right word, starts with a 'd' and is similar in meaning to 'detached' but carries a different exact connotation to it.
But, I'm that word towards this game. There's an utter disconnect there for me here in that I feel no energy, no passion, no strong stances, etc. I don't even really feel like posting now but need to to not eat a prod/replacement.
With that having been said.
Quicklynch aside.
My vote on D1, while it was sheeping Citceh, wasn't exactly a joke.
I legitimately thought that tris was suspect.
Separately, even though I sincerely doubt that they're scumbuddies, I actually have suspicions about Doctor Drew as well.
When it came to Clemency, my instincts were to gut-townread him even though that I intuitively know and recognize that the things I want to townread him for are probably not alignment indicative. But fuckit I'll stick with that townread in spite of its shitty basis because I need all the help I can get and having some semblance of a townread would be helpful.
From there I did a lazy halfhearted generic crap VCA:
I believe that the Charles wagon was mostly towndriven, but probably not exclusively town. (The only possible scumteams there are DD-DD, DD-Clemency, and DD-Clemency. None of those feel particularly likely to me.)In post 219, schadd_ wrote:Charles510 (5):Citceh, Doctor Hopson, EspressoPatronum, tris, Charles510
tris (2):mastina, Doctor Drew
Doctor Hopson (1):DrDolittle
not voting (1):Clemency
If tris is scum, then with Doctor Drew probably not being her scumbuddy in spite of my scumread on him, then if my Clemency townread holds I'd expect it to be DrDolittle.
If Doctor Drew is scum, then with tris probably not being her scumbuddy in spite of my scumread on her, then the possible scum options are Citceh/Doctor Hopson. While either of those are possible--I'm not convinced they're town--I'm not really "feeling it" in terms of either of those as a scumteam; they don't feel right to me.
So given this.
Kinda lean towards tris-DrDolittle here, so.

All originate from the same source: early D1 play feeling forced/fabricated.In post 239, tris wrote:
Why did you suspect me at that point?In post 236, mastina wrote: My vote on D1, while it was sheeping Citceh, wasn't exactly a joke.
I legitimately thought that tris was suspect.
Also, could you explain your scumreads on Drew and Dolittle?
None of these are particularly strong, mind you, though I feel that the reasoning on ddl is actually legitimately sound, solid logic which actually incriminates him whereas my scumreads on you and Drew are more like, "I find this suspicious, even though I am not sure it's scum indicative".
Basically you're scumreads-for-lack-of-better-options, whereas ddl I actually feel is legit just obvscum.- mastina

Basically.In post 294, Doctor Hopson wrote:@Mastina: Why do you gut townread/lean Clemency despite him not saying much?
Clemency's posts come off as natural, not forced, easy, just kinda chilling and relaxing while still being engaging and looking like scumhunting in their own unique way--the reason that's not actually a stronger townread though is that objectively I know that Clemency's like that as scum, too, even though I am naturally inclined to think that attitude/approach comes from town.- mastina

10 was 55-45 scum-town.In post 298, Doctor Drew wrote:Quickly going through mastinas iso, and at the risk of omgus, can you please expound your scum read on me a little bit?
16 was 60-40 scum-town.
The read gained some steam in 55, because the unvote felt forced, something done because it'd look town rather than done for actual logical reasons.
The reads in 95 feel flat.

I reread D1 and read his posts. When I started, I was going off of memory. But then I reread the game and remember JUST how bad Dr Dolittle's posts were--and also remembered that this is the sort of posting which matches my mental map of his scumplay meta.In post 304, Citceh wrote:How did your read on DDL progress to obvscum between those posts?
Well for a start. I am like 90% sure this is his scum meta.In post 304, Citceh wrote:What's your sound logic on DDL being scum?
35 and 37 were the initial scumread. His tris's interactions felt like scum theater--even if tris isn't scum, they felt incredibly fake regardless of her alignment.
However.
The real scumread came from 97.
That post?
Pure scum posting. It is the type of post that I enter the game when I'm scum making: a big post to try and be logical and establish strong stances which generate townreads, but all of it is forced. It is 100% entirely a scumpost. It's what made me go from thinking he's scum vaguely to "oh yeah this guy's lockscum".- mastina

I mean.
I can scare scumteams. I know that quite often, I intimidate scum to the point where they are afraid of me to some extent, but objectively I am a shitty player. Not good at scumhunting, bullheaded, stubborn, prone to tunneling town, usually fighting town, dragging the town in the wrong direction. I have a saving grace of competency at setup spec, but even there, I'm not immune to making game-costing erroneous assessments.

You asked that already and I didn't answer. The reason I didn't is, what answer is there to give? I am town. I generally am incredibly self aware; I have a good understanding of when I am acting as my usual town self and when I am just "off"…In post 339, tris wrote:I find both mastina and dolittle to be scummy, so I'm not sure where to go here.
The points mastina is making are a good argument, but she doesn't seem like town her. Why is that, mastina?
…And this game? I don't feel off. I don't feel different than usual. I don't see a difference and I don't get why you think that there is one.
I have a disinterest in this game, true enough, and that has affected the passion of my reads, in the sense of not really strongly being attached to them yet also not really trying to evolve them, but while I obviously would prefer that to not happen, it happens almost every game at some point or another, so I know it can't be that.
And if it's not that, then what IS it? I don't see anything, I don't feel anything, I am my normal self. So I can't answer, because you're asking for me to identify what the source of a nonexistent thing is.
If you think that this is different from my town self, then simply put: your model of my town self isn't accurate.- mastina

I hard tunneled two town D1, directly rallied the town to lynch town when before I was playing they were considering lynching scum, hard defended scum even in the 3p lylo where I thought it was more likely that the other town player was scum slowrolling rather than following my own rule of Occam's razor, protected scum when handed a protective role, intended to instavote town in 3p lylo and only couldn't because my intended vote was the night kill, and was absent during the critical time I needed to be around both in 5p lylo (day ended before I could better explain myself, which would've put me in a better position in the final day) and in the 3p lylo (was absent when the hammer vote was being considered so didn't get a chance to rebuke the scum).
What about that game is good?
It's scary; it's intimidating. But the only reason scum didn't stomp is through two consecutive tactical errors in assessment of the gamestate. I literally did everything possible to hand them the win on a silver platter, it was only them not realizing that I had done so which made the game be even remotely close.- mastina

Right so, there is very good reason for Doctor Hopson to be town.
There is very good reason for Mislynch Bait to be town.
I know I am town (tho I'd argue there's also very good reason for me to be town even if I didn't know it).
We've got a mislynch to spare, and three candidates on the table:
tris, Citceh, and Doctor Drew.
If any of you three want to make a case for why someone not in you three should be lynched...you've gotta make a damn good case/argument for it. Because unless you blow my mind out of the water, I won't be lynching outside of you three.
Otherwise: we've got 2 shots with three candidates. Make your case for why you're town and which of the other two is scum.- mastina

Tris you are a mad genius.
I'm not convinced that Drew is town.
He could be scum who, just in case, hoped that there wasn't a hammer, so didn't admit that the game was over even if he thought it was.
He could be scum who KNEW that the game wasn't over, so faked his reaction as a way to potentially get off the hook.
For these reasons, he's not off the hook.
But I do admit that there's the very real chance that he just did legit think that he was lynched, as town.
My main takeaway from this:
I very much don't think that this is a move Tris pulls here if she's scum. It'd be literally suicidal; she'd be shifting the lynch from a mislynch right onto herself (see also, Dr Hopsons vote switch).
Given that, I now favor Citceh or Drew today, and if the game doesn't end, the other tomorrow.- mastina

While I understand the theory behind no lynching since technically speaking we have no conftown and if someone we thought was conftown doesn't die whereas someone under suspicion does die (e.g. Citceh who I was planning on voting today Hopson's objections be damned), I still lean towards this being a scumclaim to create a more favorable lylo where whoever's considered the most competent town player is killed overnight.

No, claiming just before night starts is objectively bad and I am waiting on the mod to confirm that hasn't happened before I do so.In post 538, Doctor Hopson wrote:Refusing to claim here is objectively bad.
I do think precisely that for one simple reason.In post 538, Doctor Hopson wrote:Unless you think I'm town fakeclaiming cop then there's no reason not to claim since I'd be confirmed bad to you.
Your claim is, stupendously, obviously a fakeclaim not for just one reason but for multiple compounding reasons.
Given that it is self-evidently a fakeclaim the only question would be which alignment is more likely to make that potentially game-costing fakeclaim.
If you were scum then making a fakeclaim this terribly bad would be absolutely gamethrowing--you were in no position to be lynched before the claim but after the claim because it is a stupidly obvious fakeclaim you're in prime position to set yourself up to be lynched.
That sounds a lot less likely than the alternative.
Where if you were town then making a fakeclaim this terribly bad would simply be a case of thinking you had a great idea but not realizing the multitude of holes in the plan, not thinking it through, thinking "hey this sounds like a good idea" but not realizing why the idea is actually stupid and could never work as intended. Something where you go in with an idea, an expected outcome, but where it doesn't pan out because you overlooked a critical flaw or two in your idea.
Something which COULD be gamethrowing, but which I can at least trace the thought process behind because I've done similar as town before.
If you're scum and you really were committing to the cop claim, you'd be gamethrowing; if you're town and you made that cop claim, you'd have an idea behind it which would make it not gamethrowing even if the claim endangers the town because of the obvious flaws in the plan.
I'll quite happily explain this in further detail!

As promised, I am a VT.In post 543, schadd_ wrote:i dont have a sub-majority rule for no lynch, day continues
So the reasons why:
1: schadd hates cops.Specifically, cops. As in, schadd_'s ruleset almost always contains the following stipulation: Subject: large normal 219: COOL NEW ANIMALS (done!!)Subject: large normal 218: tweets (bong)
Subject: mini 2048: more songs (game ougre)
Subject: mini normal 2042: labeled pictures meme mafia (game over)schadd_ wrote:.
Subject: mini normal 2027: advice mafia (endgrame)schadd_ wrote:Nobody will be a cop, a psychologist, a ninja, or a traitor (though traitor isnt normal in 7:2 anyway )Subject: mini 2013: the chorus of i'll call b4 i cum mafia (all done)
Subject: micro 816-I: spaam (normal game) (gambe over)schadd_ wrote:Nobody will be a cop or a psychologist.
There can't be a Cop in this game because schadd_ would never put a Cop in ANY of his games.schadd_ wrote:Nobody will be a cop, a psychologist, a ninja, or a traitor (im pretty sure traitor is abnormal with 2 mafia anyway).
2: There can't be a Cop-like role because...
...This game would have Follow the Cop if so...in a MICRO.
Espresso was a Doctor. Full, UNGATED, doctor. Not restricted in any way shape or form. DrDolittle was a Goon. Not a mafia power role. A goon. Even after Espresso's N1 modkill, the scum had two nightkills fail--and since I'm a VT and tris claimed VT, you're left with either
-MLB has a PR which can prevent kills by some method, or
-The mafia had some mechanic in play preventing them from making nightkills for at least two nights.
If it is the former, then this game would have proven two roles capable of stopping the nightkill, and you're saying that on top of those two roles capable of stopping the nightkill there's a powerful unambiguous investigative on top of that? Fuck no there isn't.
If it is the latter, then this game would have a proven role capable of stopping the nightkill PLUS the scum being unable to make a nightkill, and on top of that you're saying there's a powerful unambiguous investigative? Fuck no there isn't.
3: There's no scum power role that schadd_ would ever use which could make the setup be balanced.
Again, DDL was a goon. There was a full Doctor in the game. What scum power role could have such mystical strength as to make the game be balanced? Strongman? In a micro game with two nights scum didn't kill? Proven to be pretty damn impossible. Godfather? In a micro with only two scum? Too absurdly broken. Roleblocker? Unless they're multitasking, not strong enough because with an early scumbuddy lynch they can't both kill and block. And if they are multitasking, then they've had two chances to stop town PRs every single night...and you're saying that they managed to twice miss the nightkill and three times miss the investigative?
4: schadd_ MBoS games are notoriously light on power roles.
I frankly was expecting Espresso to be our only PR--there's obviously with the lack of mafia kills the chance that the town has another killstopping role, but there sure as fuck isn't an ungated investigative.
5: schadd_'s investigative roles are notoriously gated.
One-shot, Novice, one-shot novice, even-night, even-night one-shot, and the like, are all the sorts of modifiers that schadd_ would tack onto the PRs...even GIVEN the setup being light in power roles. It is 100% a schadd_ thing to do for a given setup to have, sayyy, a Novice 1-shot Neapolitan as the town's only power role. Ungated Cop when there's a flipped Doctor is about the polar opposite of schadd_'s design.
6: Fundamental game balance dictates any remaining power be incredibly light.
Again, this isn't a Large game. This isn't even a Mini game. This is a MICRO. Where there are two scum; half the scumteam can end up dead on D1. This is a game where every player who is conftown is a player that scum can't deal with especially given we have a flipped doctor. If there's so much as two players who are conftown, scum basically can't win; even having so much as one player be conftown makes the game ALMOST unwinnable for scum especially given the Doctor and whatever stopped the kills after the Doctor died.
7: The claim is obviously not a real one because of the approach behind it.
If you had two innocents and there was only one player uninvestigated, you would immediately opt for voting the uninvestigated player, declare your results unambiguously, and commit in fully.
If you had an innocent and a guilty, you would immediately opt for voting the guilty, declare your results unambiguously, and commit in fully.
Instead, you opted to not try and vote and to keep the results deliberately ambiguous. A big gigantic red flag as to you fakeclaiming.
The utter lack of critical thought behind the claim, because all of these are pretty stupidly obvious and confirmable with very little research, made me immediately jump to the conclusion of town fakeclaiming because scum fakeclaiming would be more likely to do some semblance of research to realize why Cop would be the absolute worst possible role to claim.- mastina

I can answer that quite easily, but first, I want something from you:In post 546, Doctor Hopson wrote:We are a rolecop with a negative modifier that can give us no result under X conditions (which we haven't got as a result).
We've checked Citceh and everyone except Mastina who's still.alive as VT. That's why we insisted yesterday was a win since we townread Mastina.
I don't think you'd put a rolecop in with two vanilla mafia. Then it's just mod speculation. Any setups like that by the mod?
-hop
Can you give a fullclaim of your role paraphrased as exactly as possible, with the results you've gotten paraphrased as closely as is possible?
What your role is precisely affects my answer so I need that detail first.- mastina

Alright, story checks out. What I was mostly checking on is that in your original claim you said rolecop with results of vt, so I was making sure you weren't scum who legitimately did scumslip by mixing up your roles, confusing rolecop and Neapolitan.In post 553, Doctor Hopson wrote:(redacted) rolecop
Investigate to get role. VT/goon both come up as vanilla. If (redacted) my action will fail. (I'm assuming this is no result but I'll ask just in case it's really badly worded)
All results = vanilla, only names differed in wording.
As promised, I can provide my answer to this now:

(Goonx3)schadd_ wrote:yo! all three of you got the same PM, i.e. mafia goon. you may talk here at any time & one of you will perpetrate a kill each night. bo-ring!
Two of the previous MBoS games I played in were all-goon scumteams.
Even in the games which didn't have an all-goon scumteam...the mafia role here was a n4 jailkeeper; the mafia role here was informed macho mafioso, informed that there was a Neapolitan that knew there was a Macho in the game more or less. (It was a nothingness role, basically.)
The only MBoS game to break this tendency was the third but that game was an abnormality in all regards; it was heavy in town power and in scum power and frankly is an oddity in the series (and by no coincidence is also the game I know the least about to be honest; I mostly know about the first, fourth, fifth, with some knowledge of the second).
schadd_ has also modded multiple games where there were all-goon scumteams outside of the MBoS series, too.
So basically: schadd absolutely would put a rolecop with two vanilla mafia.
You also have to keep in mind: a staple of the series is the mafia being given information that the town lacks, and the mafia often being forced to give the town some form of advantage. In MBoS 4, this even manifested in the game becoming nightless past a certain point, something they had no control over; that is one of the reasons why the lack of kills this game could very well just be scum having been unable to kill those nights.- mastina

I won't explain why, but the mafia nokilling is desirable for multiple reasons, reasons which lose their effectiveness if explained.In post 565, tris wrote:
what would this accomplish? mafia could just decide to no kill.In post 562, Doctor Hopson wrote:Would want to avoid Tris or Mastina voting no lynch if possible so run down the day timer intentionally without voting or doing anything?
So, would be happy to test the theory out.
I sincerely doubt that the scum will no kill, but I would be quite glad if they did.
Suffice to say, while I don't think that the plan will work, the merits behind it are at least worth trying out.- mastina
