felt even wierder because to me, it seemed like it was RBD all along. I want to hear an objective viewpoint on whether any of how Nacho interpreted the gamestate made any sense whatsoever.
I don't remember anything from Bro indicating the italicized portion. The issue I have with JSU is them hiding out in their neighborhood and not really bleeding anything into the game thread until AP showing up. And when AP did show up, Bro comes up with some half-assed reason to townread AP. I still don't like it but you guys say he's been town as shit in his neighborhood.
Notty still hasn't given me an opinion on what alignment he thinks RBD is (or some of the other slots for that matter, still don't think he's fully caught up), even though I gave him that assignment like 4 days ago. I was townreading RBD yesterday, and I don't think my opinion is going to change without a full reread (not happening anytime soon unless I feel like giving up my Friday for it) or the person with his alignment information comes forward (not something I'm interested in pursuing right now).
In post 3445, CarbonFiber wrote:What worried me most was the timing of when he showed up. He was gone all game and suddenly, four hours or so before deadline, he was here and starting up multiple wagons.
This is one of the things that I brought up to Notty when he said he thought Nacho was scum. His reasoning is 90% spite for recent games (10% reasoning that I actually agree with). I just think Nacho is more likely to deflect onto easy mislynches when he's scum. The timing of the Orci wagon was terrible and something I don't think would have benefited town at all.
@Ffery: People evolve. I wouldn't rely on old meta tells too much.

Orcinus, I don't know if your claim is true or not. I do not even know if it is town-aligned or not. But your intentions were made clear that regardless of who is lynched, you will intervene. Now, I have a request. Choose me as one of the participants, and preferably Mastin as the other. I will personally deal with her and expose her for the emotional rift-raft she is and outline every inconsistency and scumtells I picked up from the previous 30 pages from her (and the entire game anyways) while outlining my personal defense (something I already explained in some of the posts, not sure how some of them miss that but if they are truly town, they avoided it and went on the basis of an inherent scum action).
And here, he suddenly shows a burst of emotion, and basically does something that isn't logical at all. Defending orc, but then voting him like this, with no (gaaaah) trajectory. The read on me comes out of nowhere, too. Clyton's read on me seems highly, well, desperate, defensive, and quite frankly, omgusy. Because there's nothing that hints this direction at all. The read is essentially one that is highly convenient (given the scumreads on me) and valuable to him (given the lack of stronger scumreads on him).
The issue I have with Clyton's post is that he claimed to have found several inconsistencies and scumtells from you in the previous 30 pages but didn't do anything to pursue you then and hasn't done anything up until now. He didn't clarify his read and when somebody came in to press him on it (Bro), his read conveniently shifted.
In post 3467, Clyton wrote:You did not get the memo that I am also trying to make sense of how Cabd works his game and if that has an affect on my outlook of my reads or not.
For example, I did mentioned if roles had an impact on the alignment of a person (which is proven to be debunked). Think from Cabd's position, was it his purpose to put half a rolecop's ability with one person and the other half with the other person and make them both town? Was it his intention for them to work together in order to effectively use the rolecop ability? I'm not sure how this defense (rather a scenario) does not make sense.
I need more solid proof from you and your accusations against me rather than "this doesn't feel."
I think you're missing the forest for the trees. You're overthinking the roles and should be more concerned about how the person is playing.
In post 3468, MastinSSK wrote:Btw, worth mentioning: while I can imagine Stalin as scum, I don't think the governor would be putting a scumbuddy in, not even against a lurker. So not scumbuddies together, but either could be scum. Lean towards yes for orc and no for ffery, but easily could both be town. (Eh, we'll figure it out later.)
Notty doesn't like Orci's lack of trajectories or some other stuff that I haven't read through yet. I don't think his cagefight choices are particularly damning because:
1) He got flashwagoned at deadline to be a feel-good lynch instead of settling an ongoing debate between players.
2) Any lurker he sent in against Ffery was basically doomed to die.
3) There was an option to no lynch, he stated so before he even sent anyone in, and LB screwed it up by opening it up with a self-vote.

Mac's a tough call, though. It could be a scum double-kill ability. Mac might have protected town who was killed by town. Or the paranoid bodyguard bit acting as a modified rolestop somehow got triggered. Could be anything, but is most certainly not the main scum kill.
I don't know what the paranoid modifier does to a bodyguard, but I find it unlikely for Mac to have died from anything other than a scum nightkill (whether he was directly or indirectly targeted).
In post 3468, MastinSSK wrote:Okay, then. Scenario. Orc's scum. He gets lynched and self-governs. He puts two obvtown players in.
This is a terrible point. Why would a scum governor put two obvtown players into a cagefight? That's poor play.
I actually completely missed you claiming yesterday for some reason (I may have been selectively ignoring you, I don't know). I also share the same game flavor as you and would now be interested in a neighborhood if you're town (apparently the game Notty chose isn't as obscure as I thought?).
I also find all the votes on you pretty hilarious when the things you've said regarding your claim checks out from Day 1.
Also, I find it strange for people to roll a 'cop' role and still have trouble keeping up or being motivated to play a game (with regards to the hydra that actually rolled 'modified cop'). It's just w/e though and I'm not holding any weight in it.

Somebody (brian?) said that GIF replacing into a hydra made them practically conftown. I cant remember much other reasoning for anyone's read on them; that one was pretty bad though.
I still stand by that comment, by the way (even if it's something I won't be giving any credence in the future). Although, it was more of me just removing GiF from my Day 1 lynch pool. I liked the way Pie came in and immediately pushed Mastin upon replacing in (and that was where my actual read came from, I'm pretty sure I stated something along these lines at the end of Day 1), but that's pretty much dissipated. I know Pie tunnels, but his lack of anything Day 2 aside from going after Mastin is dissipating my read on him.

Now since the tides have slowly been turning against mastin, he's shifted his opinion to suit with it and something about his trajectory (/ffery) feels very off.
Like early doors, mastin was yelling about AP being scum. And I don't think all that much has changed between mastin then and mastin now.
Shows it a bit more clearly.
This is actually one of the things I brought up to Notty when I was catching him up about a week ago? We both agreed that you coming out of the gates and hard scumreading AP and AP to just continue townreading you was really weird. Especially after AG where he was gung-ho about lynching you for it.
The wavering from your read on this slot is baffling. I can't get any inkling of how we go from could be scum, to weak null read that you need to see more of, to weak town, to strong town in such a short amount of time.
I think I actually owe Pie a sheep. But I always butt heads with him when it comes to reads (usually me being wrong).

for anyone who has any doubts, note how mastin literally has no defense for it. so he tries to write it off my misrepping the situation:
In post 3106, MastinSSK wrote:Oh, you meant BRO's wall.
Bluntly, I didn't read it all. I skimmed.
I saw him having a meltdown for having been suddenly scumread.
That's the part of the meltdown that would remain even if he changed his mindset, though he's not getting lynched anymore meaning even then he's going to be less stressed.
I also saw the remaining being ranting about how Rancid and I are obvscum and manipulating everyone and that he's right and getting lynched again in spite of that, again.
If I missed something that doesn't fit into one of those two categories, let me know. Because the first is no longer relevant, and the second I addressed by simply pointing out him changing his erroneous read would fix. 'Cause he's wrong. I know that sounds bad to say to someone having an emotional breakdown, that bluntly, they're wrong. But he is, soyeah. It needed to be said.
the bolded is a
literal and direct misrep of what happened
. in no way was BRO's meltdown in response to being "suddenly scumread" - that was just one factor among many.
"fixing an erroneous read" doesn't change the fact that mastin and zmuffin have pulled every fucking emotionally manipulative trick in the book and flooded the thread with their bullshit mist
the italicized directly proves my point - he literally does not give a flying fuck about how much he's pissed off another player. QED.
also, mastin, if you respond to this post I'll take it as a scum claim. if you're town you will gain literally nothing from responding to this, and if you're scum I don't wanna give you easy material to keep BS'ing about (bc it's obviously what your strategy has been so far). your responses to me have all been deflective, manipulative, or otherwise not remotely town and I've had enough of your shit. plz and thx

I'll revisit your case on him later. But it's kind of hard to agree with you when I've been agreeing with a lot of Mastin's and RBD's points this game.
I think half of your posting this day so far has been 'PV is scum, let's lynch him.' And I'd like some reasoning for this since I haven't seen anything so far that's convincing enough for me to sheep you.

Hmm? Maybe. Wondering if Mac was deadset on targeting Kagura and AP wasn't just roleblocked.

I've been using LoL as a means of escape from Mafia (which I find extremely ironic considering I originally used Mafia as a means of escape from LoL).
I actually can't remember if Notty sent me a JSU wall and I'll check my Skype when I get home. But he seems pretty set on sheeping him at this point for some reason (maybe it doesn't actually have anything to do with Bro?).

You're playing far. FAR. More reactively this game than you should be, ESPECIALLY as a cop.
The town AP I know is more proactive and aggressive. That's not been absent for part of the game; it's been absent ALL the game.
I'll put it another way.
Town-AP is generating opinions.
Scum-AP is more concerned about opinions.
And your play this game looks like the latter. Not former.
But I digress. This is not a rock-solid tell. It's a potential alignment indicator but not a strong one. You have scum-games generating opinions and town-games being concerned about opinions, but they're bluntly not the majority.
I don't actually have an opinion on this. I'm just quoting it so I will look at it later.
He's not on my list, and it would pain me for you to even think so.

Note his reaction to me, note his blatant buddying of bert - not the light-sparring/light-buddying interaction he did in this game but straight up "you're my in-thread mason and I'm going to buddy the shit out of you". The difference is confidence. Not confidence in himself. Confidence in other players being town. He doesn't have it here and the early game he's clearly watching and weighing people. He's coming to quick decisions, but the weighing process is there.
I'll be linking the games at the end of this post because I'm spoiling most of this, but I just had a scum-game with Notty where he opened up trying to buddy up to Majiffy and abusing the flowchart Day 1. He rode it pretty hard but still got himself lynched later on.
