Don't much matter if people are pushing me, I'll be obv. town in everyone's minds soon enough.
Which of the wagons you mentioned do you like and which do you hate?-

@Zdenek - this is how your last post reads to me;
I did research on Feysal's scum meta.
It doesn't match his play here.
I would like to lynch him here.
Therefore I'll say the meta doesn't matter because he could have changed it.
Unvote: Feysal
Vote: Zdenek-

You have just confirmed you're denser than a doorknob - sadly you're still town.
And Zdenek didn't even come close to winning anything, as every player with half a brain will soon confirm for you - his "case" is Swiss cheese and desperation, and mine is blatantly pro town.-

Yes, my brilliant plan of ad homing you while calling you town, I am a clever bastich whose deviltry knows no bounds.
If you consider Zdenek's commentary awesome and pro-town then you will never see me be awesome and pro-town in this or any other game (because even as scum I'm better than that).-

Yeah, but you actually say you see this as in line with his town meta.
And then kept pushing him with that as the excuse.
After looking at one scum game.
It all feels quite fake and the logic doesn't follow through.
In post 2737, Zdenek wrote:In the second post you appear to have decided that Feysal is obv. town because I've been pushing his lynch.
Actually I did it from your reaction to his meta, but, yes, my belief of your alignment colored my belief of his and vice versa. It's very Catch-22
In post 2737, Zdenek wrote:In the third post you act as though you thought Feysal was obv. town before and that you're read on him is one of the reasons that you think I am scummy.
Isn't this just a repeat of your issues with post 2?

Ah, so it's silly to think of it as a scumtell...so it's a town tell?
That's at least as silly as my stance, maybe sillier considering.
The scumvandtage would be avoiding taking stances, also known as fencesitting - which is widely accepted as a decent play for scum to make, especially if they can make it look less scummy by coming at it sideways to fool people. So, yeah, I think it's a fair call to make - why am I wrong?-

You can't sum up why he's so obvious town in two sentences or so?
I mean, obvious town to the point it's cRaZy that Thor is attacking him?
Also, if this is multiball, it doesn't matter except insomuch as I might be wrong on Feysal - but you still lynch the scummier looker of the pair first; even in multiball.-

I'll still be amused to see anyone voting me actually explain how I'm scummy in any way at all.
The current trend seems to be "Thor is scum" and leaving it at that.
Awesome wagon.
We should get some Zdenek counter votes though - just so some people can try to say they weren't idiots when I flip town, that might be good for a laugh.-

Okay, when I said that I didn't have a town read on him, so it's an inherently slightly derp question unless you think I did have a town read on him when I said that, and if that's the case show me where I said or implied that.

Yes, and his predecessors had an early VT claim. A town read on them transfers after a replace, same as a scum read does.
In post 2789, Regfan wrote:Being happy with a blitz hammer means you're comfortable voting the person you are (Especially if they're the lynch that the blitz hammer is being talked about), I don't understand you saying that if you didn't read Feysals posts yourself at all at the time and if you had then I don't understand the change from 'happy with lynch' to 'obv.town'.
I never read Feysal's posts - I've made that quite clear. React accordingly.

I disagree with Regfan's point #1 about Feysal.
He says the posting rate is different - yes.
He also said that otherwise the play was his town play, not his scum play...so...?
Disagreeing with Regfan's post #1 is saying that Feysal is *not* a tunneler when town.
He also says he doesn't think Feysal is tunneling here, so...?
In post 2789, Regfan wrote:Okay so reviewing Feysal's play here, it doesn't actually look all that different from his play in AFFC.The only thing that stands out is posting rate.
This is to clarify that I'm correct above - again, he's saying it's his town play, not his scum play, though he is posting less (something he does attribute to his scum play (though saying it's even worse than here). Meaning he really needs to look at other games to get *any* sort of real baseline here.
In post 2789, Regfan wrote:He gave out scum reads on Spyrex, Staeg and Elmo. He switched his vote to Shadow Dancer. Then Drey. Without commenting I think on Shadowdancer/his replacement.
Totally a tunneler when scum...wait...
[/quote]In post 2789, Regfan wrote:He also didn't have any solid suspects during the game. On the other hand I believe that was the main reason that Spyrex was suspicious of him, and it's an easy thing to correct for(and, for instance, ending up being overly focussed on one person). All this considered, I don't think that the meta on Feysal is relevant to his alignment.So the bottom line is that he's playing like scum, so we should lynch him.
No, the bottom line is he's playing like scum...with the caveat that he has changed his meta that I am looking at.
Which is what I said Zdenek said.
Are you still not seeing this? Because I don't see him saying it's the same, i see him hedging around it, and then saying something was obviously adjusted for and consequently he must be scum.

This is your stated case thus far;
You voted Feysal, said nothing about him, attacked me when I tried to figure out if the meta arguments regarding Feysal made sense or not, said that now Feysal is obv. town,and conclude by acting as though you saw him as obv. town before I tried to work out if the meta arguments made sense.
I don't understand how that makes me scum even if it was true, and it has bits that aren't (highlighted in red).

What do you think of the wagon on me? Is it awesome and makes sense, as those voting say - or is it unsupported and derp as I say?
In post 2846, Zdenek wrote:You don't think that after being caught for something as scum, Feysal would try to correct for that?'
You have examples he's done this in the past?
It is my belief that most scum are caught by derp and luck rather than legit tells, I see players occasionally adjust but changing play meta is a difficult task and would usually require you to aim to do it first in town games to establish it as 'meta' in any case. So, if he is changing, the real question is 'is he changing to match his already existing town meta' and if we accept that his town meta and scum meta are now identical...it's still pretty scummy to cite meta as worth anything when trying to lynch him.

which implies in part that you think he is town, and that you think I am scum for pushing a wagon on town. The argument that he'd be cleared as town because someone scummy is pushing the wagon is wrong because this is multiball. Implying that you needed to have a town read on him before hand.
How does that imply I needed a townread on him beforehand?
How does that logic work when i clearly said I just got the town read right then?
Again, as far as I can tell you're proving that what I've said happened did happen and then acting like it somehow...doesn't?
Oh, it's because you *think* I must have done it beforehand and ignored when I said I didn't, is *that* what is making me scummy? That would make as much sense as I think this case does.
If I'm wrong, please clarify where and how, thanks!-

1. If it's so meaningless to you, then simply accept my answer of not wanting to tell you my call till after I get his reaction. ::shrug:: Wosrt case you can call it scummily bad scumhunting, best case I get a read, everything inbetween seems Jake for you in any case. If you think there's stuff I should be commenting on that I'm not - you're allowed to ask me about it instead of derp question answering.
2. You smell bad and probably have an ugly face.
Zdenek replaced - pappums rat/Amrun/Seraphim
What do you think of the wagon on me? Is it awesome and makes sense, as those voting say - or is it unsupported and derp as I say?
In post 2846, Zdenek wrote:You don't think that after being caught for something as scum, Feysal would try to correct for that?'
You have examples he's done this in the past?
It is my belief that most scum are caught by derp and luck rather than legit tells, I see players occasionally adjust but changing play meta is a difficult task and would usually require you to aim to do it first in town games to establish it as 'meta' in any case. So, if he is changing, the real question is 'is he changing to match his already existing town meta' and if we accept that his town meta and scum meta are now identical...it's still pretty scummy to cite meta as worth anything when trying to lynch him.

You seem to have more issue with my town read than with my scumread - which makes your vote shift less sensible, and this also proves no misrep on my part. It does prove that you think my logic is bad, I suppose, but that is meaningless to what you're saying it means.

I do not believe that you are this stupid, so my only conclusion is that you are scum pushing nonsensical bullSmurf.
Thor is obviously scum.
Ah, okay, if you repeat bullSmurf enough it totally derails my case and helps yours - natch.
But at least now I know what the case is, it's "Player X is too good to neener-neener-neener"
Which is one of the worst inherent cases in all of Mafiascum no matter how you fill in the blanks, and every time it was ever the case on me I've been town, so...
I like my meta twisting case on you better, it also sounds sexier.-

Also, because I hate those cases;
I did some Google-fu, the two most recent completed games I have with Zdenek are Atom Mafia and Mirror mafia.
I was scum in both and he was town in both.
@Zdenek - what is this "better" Thor you're familiar with...is it scum Thor?
=====================
Oh wait, this gets funnier. Looks like in Storm of Swords Thor *was* town...with scum Zdenek, let's look at some interplay;
"Thor has not answered my questions about the "logic loops" that he's claimed that I've made, and yesterday he said that he thought I was town and voted me in hopes of preventing a Feysal lynch. "
Thor changes scum and town reads quickly and without explanation. Scummy Zdenek hops on this.
"[Thor] saymeh to someone who thinks that I am scum, which appears to agree with your feelings, and then you vote for me, providing no reason, when yesterday you thought I was town?"
Again, Thor with sudden reverse reads - look how scummy Thor is.
He also kept demanding that I explain how I saw holes in his logic.
That is, again, SCUM Zdenek responding to TOWN Thor.
Any similarities?
Any evidence of Zdenek expecting me to be "better"?
Knock my socks off everyone.-

I've used that question as scumreads before - again, whether or not you think it's good is meaningless to me.
Yes, I have a read on Feysal, but reads can and do change, and even if they don't I like to give them a chance to be reinforced.
What's yout take on the Zdenek vs. Thor situation?-

@Benmage - considering how obviously little you've read of anything, your opinions seem kinda derp to me now. The case on me is explicitly tied in to my opinion on Feysal and has been an ongoing thread in practically half of my posts - how can you want me lynched and have missed that?-

In post 2870, Lyanna Stark wrote:Thor - I've barely skimmed your back and forth because I think it's largely meaningless, but I'd like you to answer a couple things.
1. What purpose would scum!Zdenek have for analyzing the meta defense for a wagon that he was already on?
2. Where are you getting that Zdenek had not talked about Feysal before this instance? A quick iso and Ctrl-F demonstrates that Zdenek has talked about Feysal on multiple occasions, earlier coming to the conclusion that he was by PoE likely scum.
3. Did you not recognize that Zdenek was responding to Regfan's meta defense of Feysal in the first place and doing his own research to see if this held water?
4. How in multiball, can you legitimately claim to have a town read on someone, you haven't even iso'd, because you have a scum read on someone who is pushing him?
5. Feysal early on day one discussed how scum often have trouble finding scum and voted someone else for it, discuss how it's implausible that Zdenek could determine that he could be correcting a scum issue of his own.
6. Did you miss the part where Zdenek is NOT saying Feysal is scum because of the meta but is saying that the meta can't be used in his defense because of very plausible issues x, y, z?
7. In your meta comparison of Zdenek and you in past games, did you compare how Zdenek reacts to people as town in addition to how he reacted to you when he was scum?
This should be amusing.
1. What purpose would town Zdenek who had already obviouslly assessed the situation before voting have in doing so afterwards? You answered this yourself no matter what his alignment was - he was ASKED to. Derp.
2. When did I claim this in any way?
3. I did recognize this, it is meaningless to my reads.
4. Because no one is actually explaining how Feysal is scummy outside of vague "derp, playstyle" type commentary. Even when I asked. If he was scum, then probably a buddy is bussing him, or desperate to hard defend him at this point - in either situation someone should have chimed up to put their stamp on th elynch or to decry it as derp. No one did.
5. For someone screaming about how it's multiball, I am amazed Zdenek doesn't think scum can just scumhunt normally. Again, derp.
6. Did you miss the part where his claim is that Feysal is scumhunting how he scumhunts but that he's doing it as a scum gambit via switching up his meta even though we are in a game type where he can just legit scumhunt regardless?
7. No, because it was meaningless. Zdenek cited meta of his experience with me "Thor is 'better' than this" So all that matters is his interactions with me. The one game we had (a actual predecessor to this one) he, as scum, used functionally the same case on me as he is now. All his other experiences with me are as scum, in which case if I'm 'better' then he should think I'm better as I was in those games if he thinks I'm really scum.
Ergo: he is lying or incredibly bad at this game - what's your take?-

I will say in the games where I was scum and Zdenek was town he thought I was town for the most part, and at least never really attacked me except by noting once how I was perhaps chainsawing/trying to back off of a read (I forget which)
But the scum vs. town situation played out quite different. Natch.-

Have you played with CES before? How do you feel he'd react as town if he was convinced you were scum? What kind of arguments has he made in your experience in that situation?
I've played a lot with CES, I suspect he'd agree with that.
I have never found him to be a Wussy McWuss about explaining a scumread when asked - feel free to show me how wrong I am.
In post 2875, Minimum wrote:Also, Zdenek is one of my strongest town reads, particularly since I've seen him as both alignments and this feelsmuchmore like his town play--furthermore, even if he's scum playing superbly, he's obviously genuine in his Thor suspicions. The fact that Thor didn't pick up on this in the first place was already off, but now his taking quotes from ASoS and using superficial meta like "he attacked me for changing a read in both games!" against Zdenek looks like scum hiding behind an "evidence"-based case and ignoring context.
yes, how crazy of me to bring in evidence to support my already in existance context based case.
Totally a scum move that is.

Exactly one player has put it into words.
"Thor is better"
I have not said that my total owning of that proves I'm town - I just want to make anyone who agrees with it respond to how I owned it.
And, again, how scummy of me to show how the case doesn't actually hold water and then being peeved when people don't even want to talk about that - no way that would annoy a town player, not at all, the pro-town thing would be to shrug and self vote or something, yes.
Also, I always demand the case - as town or scum. I generally am told the case more often when i am scum, just saying.

In post 2876, Lyanna Stark wrote:Who asked him to? Regfan posted a defense and rebuttal to plum's case on feysal, part of it was based on meta. He then did some meta research to determine if the meta defense was valid in his eyes. As scum, he didn't have to do this, in fact he'd have little incentive to do it, and would be unlikely to talk about the differences and come to the conclusion he did. He could have just said that he read his meta and disagrees with regfan.
Again, why not do that as town as well considering how mumbly he got about it? I agree that it doesn't make him any scummier, but I don't get why it should make him look any townier. As town or scum it's reasonable and normal to respond to defend your chosen case if someone is bashing it.
In post 2876, Lyanna Stark wrote:I saw him conjecturing why his meta defense can't really be used as a defense. The thing is that feysal's scum hunting this game also doesn't fit his town meta, which is where some of the underlying issue is.
Who has made that assertion? Not Zdenek.

He reacted with an immediate vote on the Day when I opened voting him after previously calling him town and brought that up repeatedly to suggest the case had no merit.
I don't see it as a shocking change of playstyle, no. I don't think scum him likes votes on him.
In post 2876, Lyanna Stark wrote:I said you were better too, and you were. The way you're going after this doesnt feel natural. It doesn't feel like you're actually trying to get a read on zdenek but are trying to construct why his argument is scummy, when it's not. As scum in experimental you seemed like you were actually trying to get reads on people, and just because you were scum there and we're different, doesn't mean you're town here.
If I was scum there and played different it *does* mean that the 'Thor is better' ought to apply to when I'm scum too.
It is ruddy obvious I think "this" *IS* "better" or I wouldn't be doing it as town OR scum.
Derp, derp, derp. The case is moronic at its core.
Oh, yeah, Storm of Swords - the 'Thor is better' case was used on me.
Derp.

The case on me is reactionary derp and scum - it's pretty obvious.
Zdenek freaked on me after functionally no pressure and a wagon of 1 vote because somehow my commentary was more scummy than the guy he had gone and done extensive meta research to get lynched?

Also, i forgot, and you haven't addressed this - I showed Zdenek's and my total games together. 2 with me as scum, and him town, 1 with him as scum and me town wherein he pushed on me for having odd reads that came from nowhere - where do you think he's getting this "better" case from?

@Minimum - I know that I think the Feysal case is bunk, I've said as much. Nice to see you agree though. Also, his take on Feysal and his take on me is meaningless to the Zdenek question I have except for my own edification.
Also, you still haven't explained jack on me yet, so feel free to do that while we wait for me to lulzhammer.
Or maybe, y'know, explain to me how I'm utter nuts for not only thinking how what I'm doing isn't scummy but that I've winning/have won the debate with Zdenek?-

The case on him is 'playstyle' and shallow to my perception.

"He also didn't interact with the other team's scum...he must be...a potential scumbuddy...yes...?"
All that establishes is his play lacked functional interactions and also that a number of players also basically ignored him.
Scum from two different teams calling the lurker on the town side of null hardly sells me either.
The best you have is the soft support for the scumbuddy while trying to push through another lynch, but I'm not sure that's as much of a slam dunk as you think it is.
