I now support Csaro's lynch also.

Scripten's drunk post is also a policy lynch.

People should vote one or the other, my RVS stage is over.

Maybe.
It's multi-neighborhood though.
Kind of works with the Masquerade theme I suppose.

PEdit - @TSO - yes, both to the neighborhood comment and the Csareo comment.

Then why would you want to use a vigilante shot? How do you know there's a vigilante?
You do know using a vig shot fastens lylo by one day, so it is almost always scum motivated to use.

Maybe I'm a Vig and calling my shot.
I do not think your death will hinder town.

Why? Also, if you're right, isn't Nero more likely town for seeming to genuinely assume there is no evidence for it?

Why? Because there are 21 players in this game.
And I could easily argue that he's more likely scum for trying to act like there's no reason to think that because scum are the only ones with legit evidence about the question and he's trying to cover for that knowledge but overplayed his hand.

The whole point of my answer, though, is that I can actually back up my meta of voteparking - not with examples, but with actual quotes of me saying I votepark. It's a recurrent habit, but it -is- my playstyle.

Lay them on me then.

Could you elaborate a bit? What are you seeing that I'm not?

Well, your presented case on him is pretty paper thin as stands, so it's not like you're even seeing anything.
My read on him is more one of gut and 'I agree with that' but I like how he singled out Tier as looking town and didn't mention GM - which is where I'm at and feels a logical town place to be rather than a scum looking to toss out some easy town reads.

As far as I can tell your case on him is made up of buzz words and dings him for being non-committal more than anything.
On Page 16 of a large.
After you just got done being non-committal in some of the reads you were offering.
Meh.
We had players who were 'non-posting' at that stage.
We had players who had been strongly committal and then reversed.
We haven't had a decent wagon yet (showing how non-committal most of the players are, quite frankly).
We have no town leadership.
I say that with an awareness that I am known for early crusades, and I haven't felt my teeth bite in yet.
So, basically your case is, to my mind, 'he is a player in this game'

It's not naked, it's more an acceptance that Izraeil probably knows better than I at this point, and last time I thought they were scum, ignored them, and we lost.

Of course, an actual read will give me a better idea. Is there a reason you think he is particularly town?

Since when have drunk posts been a policy lynch?

1. I found it annoying that he was taking derp fake claims serious and extending the derp fake claim discussion.
2. Since always, for me.

To the best of my knowledge, not usually, but I can guarantee if I went through all my games I'd probably find a pile of examples of me doing it.

I'm not fucking looking anything else up for you, though, since you were so kind as to make me waste my time before explaining that the examples had to be specific.

I kind of expected them to be specific, honestly. My issue with you was not 'he left his vote somewhere for a long time'
My issue was 'he left his vote on someone that he was calling town'
If you did that as a common thing (as you said) I expected the examples to reflect that you often had your vote on people you were defending.
What you have shown is that you don't move your vote a lot, and that in one game you were claling someone scum while voting someone else you also were calling scum.
I have no idea why you thought your links were an answer to my issue - am I missing something?

This looks like a vote for town cred rather than a vote based on actual scumhunting.

It's fairly early into D1, and you want solid reads on people? In a large?

Also, Cho was tied with TSO at

I actually missed the bold and like the bold response to it.

Is there anyone you wouldn't do this to?

Yes. Though not many currently.
Considering that I am on record that a no lynch is preferable to voting a town read I really wish the rest of you would get it in gear.

In post 411, Cho wrote:I'm not a big fan of the Cho wagon.

I have no idea why, certainly you can't think Cho has been much of a townish looking player. He keeps posting empty commentary and seems aware that he is "disconnected" so it seems logical that people wouldn't like that and that the wagon has bite.

Could you vote Pere instead? You seemed to paint him with the same brush, and at least I know he's better than that. From what some people have said 'useless as Matthew McConaughey's shirts' is somewhat par for the course for Cho.
Request him to a Vig pool and vote Pere?

I don't see the point of pressuring Pere until he catches all the way up, like I said, pressuring Cho will pay off more right now.

There is no analysis. It's just using "buzz words" as you said :down: and trying to be a convincingly active player.

Nah, using emotions to get reads isn't a buzzword. Saying 'I feel' is no better or worse than saying 'I think' and it makes you *feel* more scummy to me for even trying to paint it that way.

Your reads are not very impressive to me then.

I want you to look at and address what you wish to - if I had specific things for you to look at I'd ask you.
If you need guidance to help you scumhunt at this stage I feel that supports my earlier shirt based commentary and I still would like Goofy to sheep me now that he's admitting he's basically got the silliest vote in existence in play.

I did a bit of snippage here to put the thoughts together.
Yo, Goodmorning, why can you both believe that the neighborhood(s?) are likely to have scum in them but *also* be in support of keeping them secret?

Let's find out together. Me being in them doesn't seem to have much bearing, so let's just look.

NY169 : 20 players, 4 mafia (in this)
NY173: 18 players, 4 mafia + SK
NY172: 20 players, 4 mafia (in this)
NY171: 21 players, 5 mafia (in this)
NY170: 19 players, 3 mafia
NY167: 17 players, 4 mafia (in this)
NY166: 18 players, 4 mafia + SK (in this)
NY165: 24 players, 5 mafia + SK (ran this)

NY164: 24 players, 3 mafia + 4 mafia (in this)

NY161: 21 players, 5 mafia (in this)
NY143: 21 players, 3 mafia + 3 mafia (in this) (2011)

NY137: 21 players, 4 mafia + SK

NY134: 22 players, 5 mafia

It seems 3 years and 35 Large Normal games ago, there was a 21 player game with 2 scumteams.
So, yes, a large majority were not.

Adjusted that for how it was used in the discussion.
Adding in the other SK ones changes it to a 6/13 ratio.
Meaning, roughly, 50%

So...yeah, I think that is a safe assumption to have in your head Day 1.
Also, you called me scum for bringing up multiball...in relation to a discussion where someone brought up multiball...so, yes, I do think that's weird on your part.

And, really, "changing your reason upon consideration of new information is scummy"
Pull the other one, it has bells on.

I don't have a lot of sheep yet.
Why are people scared of this - he is declaring scum.
If you don't think he is then you should probably explain why you don't find the commentary scummy. Because I find it five alarm chilli level.

That also doesn't matter. I don't even wish to get into a 'is or isn't this multiball' discussion and never did - it's not germane to any issue on the table.

If you have an opinion about Pere calling me scummy for mentioning multiball or how I'm calling him scum for doing so - that would be excellent discussion to have.

In post 591, Cho wrote:Do you understand this, or rather, follow my train of thought?

I follow your train of thought but find it very surface oriented.
The point isn't that he called me scum for multiball commentary - the point is how and why he did it considering the conversation it was brought up in.

Does that make sense?

In post 597, PeregrineV wrote:Except Multiball means 2 scumteams, as per the definition: "Serial Killers and other one-person groups do not count; the term is specific to scum groups of multiple players."
So, your attempt to use SKs to discredit me is pretty blatant.
Your attempt to use 24 player games as examples is also blatant. I included them for reference, but 24 is not 21, and the setup and balance for each is different.
So, try 25%. And recently, none of them.

I will agree the wiki defines multiball as notincluding SKs.
I will also say I have been in a game witha 2-player SK.

That said - if you look at my comment to Nero it clearly included the idea of 'any scum role that is not aligned with some other scum role'

Also, if I had clarified SK - I understand that 'SK hunting' is also considered a scumtell (or SK tell) so I don't actually see the point of even trying to draw the difference here.

Do you disagree that my comment means what I said it means here? And if you do, please explain why.

You're trying to defend yourself in a pedantic manner.
It looks scummy to me.
What's up with this? Why don't you walk me through how and why you actually think your catch on me is scummy and also why it doesn't apply to Nero or Goofy - that would be interesting to hear moreso than the weak word dance you're doing now.

Try this format

-What Thor meant
Then I'll be able to answer it, since right now I'm not sure what you are asking.

I asked this: That said - if you look at my comment to Nero it clearly included the idea of 'any scum role that is not aligned with some other scum role'
About my post mentioning multiball.
That you called scummy.
This is not complicated - answer the question. You're the one who analyzed my post and found it alignment indicative - why not expand on your work?

In post 611, PeregrineV wrote:My bad, I did misread that.
I assumed that you wanted to point out 21 player games that were multiball, because we are in a 21 player game that you stated was obviously multiball.
You may now argue for the nature of 21+ games, but I'll state in advance that changing the facts changes the arguement, esp. about something like mafia game size.

I did not "change the facts" you did, or you misunderstood them. I am reminding you of what I clearly said.
Would you like to change your answer now that you understand the question?
Does it affect your read on me?
I also would LOVE you to point out where I said the game was obviously multiball.

In post 611, PeregrineV wrote:-I think that you saying that this game is obviously multiple mafia teams implies some sort of inside knowledge of the setup that you did not relate to the thread at the start of the game. Most commonly, this is through a scum role designation of specific mafia (Blue, Red, Mafia A, etc.), and less commonly through a town role (Mafia A cop, Red Mafia Cop, etc.). However, I don't think it is in your nature to "slip", nor to be so bold nor so brazen about possibly having a scumrole.

So it is suspect because...?

In post 611, PeregrineV wrote:-I already pointed out the differences between mentioning, speculating, and stating. You've been pushing everything based on my 501 statement, and instead of just letting it go (which I do sometimes), I proceeded to point out why you were wrong. You've since continued to push for my lynch, not for actually being wrong in my opinion, conclusion, or summary, but because I have that opinion, posted that conclusion, and backed up that summary. Making this another case of (strength of reaction) vs (strength of initial post) (see Scripten vote).

Actually I'm calling your entire use of logic here suspect and pointing out the double standard you are using n applying it and calling that scummy.
You have responded with further proof that you're either not really reading the game or are trying to bluster through my issues.
I don't feel like we're actually talking yet.
You're not talking openly, you're offering up misrepresented or half finished thoughts and then waving your hands wildly in the hopes this will go away.
I mean, look at the quote above. I asked you to explain how what I did was scummy - you didn't actually. You even admit that I wouldn't tend to do that as a slip which leaves...what exactly? If it wasn't a slip I was intentionally doing it? Okay...why? And why would it be scummy as opposed to, say, a town breadcrumb or something? Like, the logic just does not flow nor is it an answer as to why you concluded it was scummy.
I'm trying to talk with you.
Why are you dancing with me instead?

I'm not making it easier on him, because, frankly, he's dancing around Pere's question and I think it was a valid question so I wished to ding at him a bit.

What is your read on Pere though, t the moment? Your current wagon is doing nothing, so I think a vote move would be good for you (or a LOT more noise about Anemian)

That it is scummy, unsupported, a double standard (triple, really) and lazy whilst being used as a smokescreen for doing nothing.
Also - that you cannot even justify it when asked to.

This is written by someone who is not paying attention to the issue or can't figure it out.
The conversation has NEVER been about whether it is or is not multiball.
You should read it again.
Then offer an opinion on the scumtells being advanced.

I do not find your desire to change up the conversation very functional - you ducked multiple questions and still failed to explain your logic.

Then say it. Or, say exactly what you meant using as many or as few words as possible.

No, I meant that when I specifically said the word multiball. As I said.
I put it in context to show just how silly your raised statement is.
Now please address it.

Doesn't matter to me if you discuss it. Just saying that I don't find it enlightening. Unless you think that merely having the discussion is itself a scumtell?
Which side of the argument should be suspicious? Don't answer that, I can guess your answer. Maybe as a 3rd party I should be even handed in who I suspect.
At least one of the participants has been posting about other things. I have not looked at the other participant to see if he's also casting a wider net. Perhaps I should.

Again - you are talking about a conversation that is not happening.
Do you agree with the logic of Pere's raised issue? Why/why not?

I have always refered to it as such and have no idea why people wish to argue about it every time I do.

What do you call a one vote wagon?

A one vote?

What about two votes? Is that a wagon, or is that two votes, or is it a tandem bicycle or what?

Why are you even debating the definition with me when it is clear what I was talking about whether or not you agree with my word choice?
Yes - you are well past the time to do some work.

Yes, i agree we're having a discussion based around a scumtell wherein the word multiball is used.
But we're debating the scumtell.
We're not debating whether the game is or is not multiball.

Why am I not allowed to call an RVS scummy? Isn't that the entire basis of the purpose of RVS?

In post 647, davesaz wrote:Why would I call attention to it myself if I were scum? Not to mention that my other posts today are clearly lining up a thought process that one of you or Pere might be scum as a result of the big multiball hairball. Consider perhaps I'm choking on all that data, too busy figuring out whether it's TvT or not to look beyond it.

In that case, probably best to say so, since multiball is a fairly precise term used to indicate multiple teams, not just multiple non-town killing roles.

In the meantime, I'll stick to my silly raised statement.

Yes, that is what I meant and indicated it is also clearly what I meant when taken in context and you were asked to assess that claim and then address how it does or does not affect your read.

Your method of doing so was to repeat what I said to you.
Kind of shrug.
And then state that you're sticking to the claim.

I will take this to mean you find that insane as a possible interpretation of what I meant.
Please describe what YOU think I meant.

I would like to clarify this is about post 10 in a series of posts which was; "Pere, please explain why you think that was a potential scumtell"
To which his best answer has, thus far, been "well, as scum you wouldn't be likely to slip but you brought up multiball so if it's multiball you're scum...oh, yeah, some other people did too in ways that are different than your way"

More votes now, yeah?

This post pretty much encapsulates the scum case on you.

I welcome anyone to go back to what I was saying to Nero and manage to get this info from the exchange.

I do not believe I have ever used the 'you're better than this' tell.
But you're better than this Pere. It's screwy. And you're acting like you're up to snuff, which makes it scummy.

I asked it because the way you phrased it didn't come across as a claim, but rather a comment on a previous claim.

Why did you wait to claim to be in a neighborhood till this moment?

In post 699, Nero Cain wrote:What do you think of scum being in the hoods?

Do you think that if there's more than two hoods they should claim so town atleast knows the number of hoods?

That it is likely.

Yes, i do think this.

Pere claims to find both of them scummy, so I suppose the answer is 'yes'.
I'm actually bewildered he finds either of them scummy, but he claims he does and is being strange about explaining them.
You seem to have missed all of this discussion though, and are asking me something meaningless.

In post 729, Nero Cain wrote:Why should I have previously claimed I was in a hood? I'm back now and saw some hood talk so yeah.

Hood talk and claiming had happened sooner and during a period you were around and posting - you must have made a value call of not revealing it at that stage and then made a new one to reveal at this one. Why?

In post 730, T S O wrote:Meh.
I just got the feeling he expected people to praise the revealing of it or something.

That has less to do with the revealing and more to do with his motivation for the revealing. I would note that I was amongst the first to reveal neighbor info and have also not remotely indicated that I consider that a pro-town move. I have also asked people who consider full neighbor reveal as anti-town to explain why (with rather lackluster effort from Goodmorning to do so) and have not indicated that as anti-town or pro-town on their part either.

If your issue is Scripten expecting town vibes - then talk to him about that. The neighborhood thing is not the issue, the mentality and motivation are.

The only reason that unexplained reads are scummy is because they are easily changeable.
That is the core definition of a null read as well.
I will agree that Izzy is making big noise about how well explained his null read was - but it doesn't change what a null read is nor does it change the only issue with unexplained reads.
Therefore, he's doing something, calling it townish, and complaining that someone is doing something different and calling it scummy - while blind to the fact that it is the same type of pro-scum play.
Making him either town who is dangerous to have in the game due to inability to read below the surface or scum.
Both making him a viable lynch option to me.

What's your issue with my stance?
Don't give a dumb answer.

This does not fill me with hope for your reading comprehension.

I am holding off on revealing until Goodmorning manages to get back to me with explanations on the fear of revealing and why it is pro-scum in some way.

In post 738, TierShift wrote:Izzy looks like he believes in that strongly felt nullreads are more of a commitment than soft townreads, he really does. I was wondering why you didn't see that and instead focused on the sense he wasn't making and calling him scummy over it.

Okay, well, first off, that you saw and answered my comment makes me wonder why you didn't address Goodmorning's whine to you, clarify?

As to my answer to this - if he believes it then he meets the qualifier for terrible town, and if he doesn't he meets the qualifier for scum. I agree that both of those states can exist and disagree that either one makes him not a good lynch option. I am proud that you can perfectly read his attitudes, I do not have this skill and am left to scumhunt him. You shouldn't hold that against other people. Your raised issue appears to be that "Thor is scumhunting" now - because your issue is that I didn't immediately read him as town...is that right?

You were stating that different take made him scummy, but that doesn't work for me and it seemed to me you were overly focusing on the words instead of the intent. That was the issue I had with your read on izi.

Please describe how the intent looks town?
Because I can see the intent as poor play and I can see the intent as scummy - I fail to see it as pro-town. Am I missing something?

In post 754, TierShift wrote:Only now have you said that this different take on theory might be scum faking it and you're insinuating that that is what you were thinking earlier. But you didn't say that earlier and I did not know.

I never indicated you should know until I said - though you appeared able to track his thoughts quite clearly whilst mine remain opaque. I personally think it was fairly clear what my issue is, but it's a false complaint to suggest that I was expressing poor play on your part to understand my issue beyond the idea that I was scumhunting him.

In post 754, TierShift wrote:So tell me what it is, what he was scummy for:
1. Getting his theory wrong

In post 754, TierShift wrote:You were arguing 1 and now you seem to be arguing 2. That's inconsistent.

I actually argued that #1 meant he deserved death, I never argued that it made him scummy. Even when you called out my post the commentary was that I would be okay lynching him, not that I said he was a top scum read. The only one changing any stances here is you - and you're trying to change what my stance was stated as - I have not tried to change anything. :neutral:

You have not really addressed why you had issue with me questioning him or finding his answers scummy.
I think answering the 'why was his stance pro-town' note would justify your stance, if you can do that.

TierShift was WELL aware of what I was asking about and just tried to answer it.
It is not my fault that you appear continually confused by what's going on.
In my opinion you need to read more carefully.

You remain a solid lynch option, and I do find you both scummy and anti-town.

And, so, you ask me questions about it to try to understand me,

Tell me again your issue with my expressed thoughts and challenge of Izzy?
Also, you still haven't addressed the 'how what he did Thor should have taken as town' thing. Which is the basis behind having any issue with what I said and did at all, because if you don't get that then it's quite reasonable for me to find it null or scummy and certainly to question it.

As to the rest I feel I answered quite specifically here what my thoughts were;
http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 7#p6268337

Which lines up to what I first said to you here;

So why is this confusing to you and why do you think anything has changed?

Pretty much this is as close as I can get to understanding your issue.
Except that it is literally nothing I have ever said - and is in fact something you decided I inferred.
And now you're sort of grumping about how the inference doesn't line up with my actions and statements.
Which really just says 'your inference is wrong -derp' to me.

Three.

In post 776, TierShift wrote:Okay thor, I understand now. You captured the issue I had with your posting in 762. Just remember that if you say something like 'I want to lynch you now', it makes people think you scumread said person.

I will agree that if someone read that and decided to infer information from it without paying attention to what I was saying about my issue then, sure, they could get the wrong impression via that inference.

Don't know why you called it bad in any way though, as one would like to think that meant you analyzed it before making said value call.

In post 776, TierShift wrote:Just this one quote doesn't make sense. Haven't we both agreed that iza did not in fact produce scummy content (which I thought you were arguing) or town content (which you think I'm arguing, but I'm not!), but that the scripten scumread was null behaviour? Then how does the next quote in which you call him scummy for it make sense?
In post 756, Thor665 wrote:You have not really addressed why you had issue with me questioning him or finding his answers scummy.

Well...first off, his answers are scummy - that doesn't prove he is scummy, but his answers were screwy as all get out.
I said they were screwy as all get out.
In the perfect world of analysis, if he's town, he is town who is screwy as all get out.

You leapt to his defense and had issue with my conclusions as regards him - which, by definition, means you have to have a town read there or there would be no issue to raise with me and what I said.
If your read of him was 'null' for instance...that would mean that you would understand his reads were screwy and would have agreed with me and, if you had decided to call it out, your language would have been one of 'what scum motive do you see in his screwy logic' as opposed to your chosen track.

As I said, I founf your defense of him/attack of me straneg and illogical and I'm actually trying to get you to explain it.
Quoting something I said after that attack and acting confused by it is *not* helping me understand you.
I have been very open and clear with my thoughts.
You have not.
Stop that.

Back up your gak now please.
1. Explain your specific issue with how I approached him (even working within the misunderstanding you're now admitting to)
2. Then describe your chosen approach and why you thought it was a good approach.

That would be helpful.

Stupid scum with Pre/Day talk or Neighborizer is all I can come up with at this point.

Most people see minor value in them at best.

Goodmorning thinks there is some sort of pro-town aspect to them in some manner yet to be determined and may or may not be allowed to discuss it for fear of cluing in the scum to the brilliant advantage.

You may draw your own conclusions though.

@Axle - I find your response to me to focus mostly on the first question (a setup question) and to not address at all the other questions (scumhunting questions based off said setup) except to say 'later I will provide this.

Not particularly enthralled thus far, is what I'm saying. Maybe the expansion will become interesting.

This seems like a standard that torpedoes many types of scumtells.

Yes, I will agree after saying you would answer things that you eventually answered them and that in between the two points I expressed interest in seeing answers given per your comment that you would do so.
I am not sure why we're discussing this.

I can't work past my personal bias to get any sort of read on him.

:facepalm:
Dear gawd, this is exactly the reason I made an alt - to get away from this gak. As far as I can tell if my join date is not as old and I post :lol: instead of :neutral: then I am considered a fun player.
If I do the other then I am the meanest mean of the seven means.

JUST BECAUSE I DISLIKE YOUR PLAY DOES NOT MEAN I AM A MEANIE-POO HEAD. MAYBE YOUR PLAY NEEDS TO BE ASSESSED. MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR PLAY AND DEFEND IT IF IT IS GOOD. MAYBE IF YOU GET UMBRAGED AT ME QUESTIONING YOUR PLAY THEN IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS YOU'RE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME IT IS?

If I insulted you personally then say so and I'll apologize.
If I insulted your *play* then back your play up or get over it - I am alloed to not like your play decisions. That's a legit and fair stance to take.
Making it personal just clouds the waters and is a step you're choosing to take - not me.
I also dislike that play, fyi.

In post 821, Izariael wrote:
@Thor
: Drawing different conclusions or applying a different brand of logic than you doesn't make me terrible town. Nor does it make me scum.

It also doesn't make you good town nor does it suggest you are town. In fact, questioning questionable play is considered by me to be 'scumhunting'. because I do believe scum will do questionable play and I need to investigate it.

I will note that the other person defending you also didn't want to defend your play. Your play *is* questionable by more than just me, meaning that...yeah, there's probably something strange there - at which point yeah, you should expect people to address it. If you are unable to see why someone might question it then that's something you need to work on - maybe by asking me to explain why it's questionable in the first place, or defending why it isn't questionable at all. But just pointing out that you are a beautiful and unique snowflake doesn't change that you're doing something strange that people could, and should, investigate.

In post 821, Izariael wrote:You think I'm terrible town for having "faulty logic", while I think you're terrible town for your dogmatic attitude. The vast majority of your posts have this stick-up-your-Smurf tone that is quickly getting old.

I am saying you are terrible town or scum. If you just find my play dogmatic...that doesn't matter. Do you find my play potentially scummy? If no, then there's no point to this conversation. if yes you should be doing something with that thought instead of just pointing out that I am a dick. Because whether or not I am a dick does not affect whether or not I am scum, whereas my note of your strange play *does* have scummy connotations if you're lying about what you believe. I will admit I don't think scum tend to lie to act like a dick, so I'm not really sold on your tell, but if it's there advance it.

In post 821, Izariael wrote:I would love to give you an unbiased read that isn't influenced by my incredible distaste for your attitude, because right now all I'm thinking is "I just want Thor out of the game, regardless of his alignment." For that to happen, I would need you to step back a bit, get off your high horse, and cut this "I art superior to thou" crap that you're doing. Maybe you're right about EVERYTHING in this game, and I am WRONG about everything in this game. Perhaps it's the other way around. It still does not give you the right to be a complete Smurf to myself or other players in the way I see you doing. I'll leave that ball in your court. Do as you please.

Again - I believe I am allowed within the confines of the game to point out play I think is anti-town or pro-scum.
If my play is so terrible and uncouth that it prevents you from scumhunting though then one of us should replace out.
I do not think I have crossed any line and I also think I have been quite specific about what plays I find bad and why - allowing anyone to defend or discuss them if they wish.
I also think too much weight is being placed on my words, as other players have called your (and others) play bad and are not getting this reaction - and if I am getting extra weight to my words due to a join date that is an unfair weight to place on me, as it is not under my control.

If you think I crossed the line somewhere please point it out to me or the mod.
Otherwise - I do not see a valid reason to change my playstyle.

I think Pere is scum via play in thread, his lack of presence in the neighborhood means nothing really as he was checked out of the game for days after that anyway.

In post 836, Nero Cain wrote:What did egg do that gave you town vibes? Is he scrambled or sunny side up?

Well, basically his play was so terrible I have a hard time believing he was scum. He played the 'what do we do with a neighborhood' card while also admitting to being scum in a neighborhood semi-recently. That is terrible play and quite nonsensical - but I cannot imagine even a half sane scum would do that as scum. Ergo, a town vibe.

In post 837, TierShift wrote:Thor, I find me repeating myself. I also want to say you're a Smurfing snoc for attributing the misunderstanding to me alone.

I have no idea what a snoc is. Snob?
I do think the misunderstanding is on your end alone - as I've noted how my story has been clear and unchanging and that you approached your claimed issue in a weird way.

In post 837, TierShift wrote:I can take issue with someone calling null behaviour scummy (which I thought you were doing) without having a townread on said person. That is not at all a requirement. I have no idea why you feel I should have approached you differently than I have. Quote where I express a townread on iza. I only expressed feelings that him thinking nullreads can be committed to was genuine. That is not equal to a townread.

I will admit, by the time you start calling a player 'genuine' I don't tend to think you lack a town read on him.
Okay, so you were just defending a null read - got it.

In post 837, TierShift wrote:1. You called null behaviour scummy (which is the misunderstanding I was working with). That is my specific issue. Scum do that.
2. I approached you by asking if you seriously found him scummy for that. You didn't try to clear up the misunderstanding, so I kept working on the assumption that you found him scummy for it. I then defended him on that assumption. No regrets.

1. Okay.
2. How did I not try to clear up the misunderstanding? Let's review my immediate reply to your comment;

From the first moment I answered I noted awareness of the ability to read it as a null tell.
Which would make the communication issue on your end.

When i clarified again (repeating myself) you complained about my tone. Maybe I should have called you a Smurfing snoc to clear it up :lol:

Would you like to vote Pere now?

Same thing happened when we played audio mafia (except for the scum players). I think my vocal tone is different from what people presume it to be.

I should try doing an alt where I insist on posting readings of every post I make. I wonder what that would do to how I'm reacted to...

Have you ever played with Pere prior to this? I feel like you must have.

He is not only doing a slow start (which I might buy as town him) but is pairing it with sloppy reads and not really looking over the thread (note how he agreed that...whoever that was, Muffin?, who had earlier brought up multiball was scum after it was pointed out. But if he had actually read and also actually thought that was an issue (as shown by his reaction to me) he would have mentioned it.

If he had openly stated he was skimming/sipping stuff - no worries.
But he didn't, he chose to present like he read.
He was probably lying about that.
Why do you think town Pere would do that?

Also, in all seriousness, go back and read the *conversation* wherein I brought up multiball.
Not the post, the conversation, and ask yourself if it seemed scummy in any way particularly that I brought it up.
Then ask yourself why Pere thought it was scummy.
Then go and look at how I asked him to explain and the way (shifty and not answering) he chose to respond.

Not seeing that, would suggest to me the former was mix up an aberration or something else.

Whoosh! Please let you be town in all scum games I ever have on site.

You can always wait for Pere to come back, maybe he'll defend it now that I'm selling people on it being scummy that he's not and also that I have multiple people agreeing the initial call of the tell didn't make sense in context - I'll accept a lack of vote as long as you help with addition of pressure via threat of vote.

Yes, my point was to indicate how bad I thought your concept was.

Basically you're saying 'well, it's scummy...but only if he does it more than once'
A scumtell is either a scumtell or it is not - it doesn't require multiple executions to make it scummy.

And if your statement is, that on Day 1, you need multiple scumtells to make a case - I am fascinated to see what case you manage.

Lord Patator had me as town - but was a feth terrible setup.
Mainstream I was Cult Leader

Since people constantly whine about this all he time - it's a playstyle thing.
Also, the only scum strategy I have on the record that remotely resembles it is - getting town to use 'all the time' which I think is brilliant scum play. There is no reference to me anywhere suggesting a scum strategy of 'debate things! Yar har!'
My post average is 3 posts per page, and that's being aware that I sometimes post a few times in a row.

I find people consider policy lynch such a dirty little word...yet many of these same people defend themselves as unlynchable because they're not really providing content.

Hint - that makes it scummy. You're playing in a way to make yourself hard to lynch while also not providing help to town. That is scum play.
If it helps you disprove and dismiss my case you can call it 'policy'.

I agree with Goodmorning about the Muffin read being weak, but find Dave better for it.

She also just finished admitting how bad her plan was because to do it she's checking out for an estimated nine days. So, y'know, lack of scumhunting and useless vote ahoy :lol:

Here are three viable counterwagons.
The people voting these wagons that *don't* think Pere is scum should probably be...y'know, campaigning for votes. Maybe by specifically asking for people to vote their wagon or directly questioning a given player's read on their suspect. Y'know, that crazy stuff Thor did that created the Pere wagon - it's just crazy enough to work!

These people are voting dumb useless or blatant 'not a vote on scum and everyone knows it - hello Aeronaut' wagons.
These people are not helping.

They should either think Pere is scummy or townish, or null.
If Null or Towny - are any of the counter wagons remotely on scummy players? Vote them then.
If Scummy - even if he's like your 5th top scumread...well, y'know, support it anyway lackwit, at least get a claim out of him and give yourself more info to consider.
If all four of those wagons are on null reads for you - then you should probably do something to get a town/scum read on those four wagons or make A CRAZY AMOUNT OF NOISE about your top scumread - because otherwise you are terrible town.
If you are scum and don't care which wagon goes through - keep playing as you are, you're doing beautifully.

I would say this sort of thing even if one of them was my scumbuddy, but, sure, if I was scum and they were all town I'd say the same. I'd also say it if I was town and with slightly more regularity depending on how much I thought I could grind town.

That said - your comment does nothing to address the purpose of my commentary nor does it actually suggest it is bad in any ay.
Good job being bad town or meh scum, I suppose. :lol:

Well...since I never said that was the case, I would challenge you to point out where I said what you're claiming my case is.

I have pointed out a few things about you, the core of it is that you're not scumhunting and are being fake and lazy. That has actually been my point on you for quite some time.
If you want my issue with the 'multiball' comment then I would note that you can see it here;

In post 583, Thor665 wrote:Also, you called me scum for bringing up multiball...in relation to a discussion where someone brought up multiball...so, yes, I do think that's weird on your part.


My issue is not that others mentioned it (though I do think that is also telling)
My issue is that someone said 'hey, barring multiball this makes sense"
And I said 'there is no reason to rule out multiball, I find it safe to presume it'
And you're like 'dat makes Thor scum!'

Which...no...no it doesn't.
And you have still failed to explain how it does.
It is lazy and not scumhunting.
That was, is, and likely will remain my issue with you.

Now, feel free to go meta Pere and find me a town game with him both advancing a derp tell *and* not backing it up loudly if called on it as being derp.
That's the case.

And for the record, the above is what I present as your case, and no one has raised issues with my version yet - so that's what they see when they are ssessing the case.
I suppose to be fair I should add 'makes him scum if this is multiball' as that is what you said - but it still fails to make any sense as something to decide there considering the conversation.
And when asked about it you just repeat your quote and act like there's nothing strange in believing what you claim to believe.

Like, would your case still hold true if this was the conversation;

My issue is that someone said 'hey, barring multiball this makes sense"
And I said 'there is no reason to presume multiball, I find it safe to never presume it'
And you're like 'dat makes Thor scum if this is not multiball!'

Or

My issue is that someone said 'hey, barring SK this makes sense"
And I said 'there is no reason to rule out SKl, I find it safe to never presume it'
And you're like 'dat makes Thor scum if there is an SKl!'

My issue is that someone said 'hey, barring Cop this makes sense"
And I said 'there is no reason to rule out Cop, I find it safe to presume it'
And you're like 'dat makes Thor Cop!'

It's the same logic.

No, I would agree that you calling me out is part of my case on you - I have said so on numerous occasions.

In post 1012, PeregrineV wrote:I think I said, should there be 2 scumteams, I will be pushing strongly for a Thor lynch. Given that 25% of 21-player large games have 2 scumteams, it seems the single-scum reponse would be to ignore or say "good luck with that" and the town response would be to ignore or say "good luck with that."
What I did not expect was "Well they said it it too!" defense.
Axle done detailed it, there is a difference in how it was said in in the context and conviction.
Which takes me back to , "if there are 2 scumteams, I'llbe looking at Thor."

It's actually setting a future condition which may or may not come true, and was but a single read of 20 other players.

This fails, yet again, to actually justify the tell nor to justify how what I did qualifies it as a tell and is not an explanation of the tell.
Though I will admit you did expand somewhat into 'Thor reacting negatively to a unexplained and nonsensical case equates to him being scummier' which *is* something new, but is also nothing about the original tell.

In post 1012, PeregrineV wrote:Considering I have little idea on where you stand on the other 19 players, you could be not-lazy and tell us who is scum with me.


Aeronaut - lurksack
AxleGrease - poor logic, no clear opinion beyond that. Probably scumish.
Aneninen - No idea, would not oppose lynch, would not support lynch.
Boonskiies - lurksack, begrudingly shifting to town due to Dave, but still a useless slot.
Cho - Lurksack.
GrayFoxxxx - Lurksack.
davesaz - Townish
Egg - Townish
Garmr - Townish
goodmorning - terrible...alignment uncertain ;) Meh, I'd help lynch her and consider it worthwhile probably.
Goofyd00d - Lurksack (mild town on prior to derping out and replace)
hephaestus - burning newb - no real vibe yet, still trying to even get him to commit to opinions.
Izariael - Newb, mild scum...very mild.
Muffin - Not fond of hard Thor defense. Call it mildly mild on the scum side.
Nero Cain - Townish
Scripten - I can remember having an opinion on him but can't recall what it is. If I was asked about him I'd ISO myself and repeat whatever I said last (townish?)
T S O - Townish
TierShift - Townish
TobyLoby - Lurksack.



@Hephaestus - why don't you walk me through your thoughts on both Pere and myself, and maybe a top scumread of the moment also? That would be sexy.

I suppose to be fair I should add 'makes him scum if this is multiball' as that is what you said - but it still fails to make any sense as something to decide there considering the conversation.

Yes, corrected for you.

And I think I asked the question-
Why
is it strange to believe what I claimed?

I can barely explain that since I don't even understand why you find it scummy beyond "multiball".

But, in a generic sense, I think when someone is having a conversation about someone and makes a comment about multiball and then the other person responds...well, I don't think either of them are scummy, and in the vague concept of multiball being a tell I would say the first person is usually accredited as the scummier one in the way that tell that is stupid works.

That is like me saying - hey, TSO, do you think there are Cult?
And him going 'yes, no, maybe'
And someone suggesting he is Cult for brining up Cult - it doesn't jive.

Also, as we've now also established that I used multiball to include SK setups and you actually didn't state any adjustment of your read I continue to doubt that there is any actual thought behind the tell and your refusal to explain it is because you were making empty commentary and now are trying to bluster through it so you dont't need to justify the empty commentary.

Don't misconstrue things please.

Attacking a really weak case on someone does not equate to "hard defending" that player.

You can consider yourself an ally of convenience if you like.

Nah. I'll agree Goodmorning's play is weaksauce, but you're attacking her logic here. There is nothing inherently scummy in having gut reads - town do it all the time, and you have not shown that Goodmorning wouldn't or doesn't do that.
You're thumping on her really aggressively for what is play that is easily either suck town or kinda weak scum, and it's your big push.

Now, maybe you're trying to read her, and that's your deal, but it does come off as weirdly defensive towards me, which makes me feel the potential of buddying and I think that leaves you deserving of a call out.
Heck, take me out of the equation and 'oddly aggressive attack on gut read' becomes your play and that's worth a narrowed set of eyes all by itself.
I do not disagree that Goodmorning is being bad - she assuredly is, and she's even playing it up like she has a plan (and well she might, but I bet it's pretty weaksauce once we see it and won't justify the lackluster play). That said - the level of your attack on it is not in proper relation to the level of her crime. So it's weird, and I find you scummy for it.

2. Does that make a difference?

2. Very much so - if it's something I didn't intend or wish to do than a read list lacking clear thoughts or statements is...well, not shocking. However, if it is one I do and present - then if the answers are hollow and barely there it begs the question of 'why did he bother posting that?'.

The issue is - you are right, TSO is talking a bit of gak and not backing it up.
However, I would like to point out that is exactly the case on Pere - exactly. Pere said something was scummy, then had to start talking in circles to back it up.
The only big difference is that TSO's thing...yeah, maybe he did decide to just generically fluff off about Anemian in a generic way.
Do you have an explanation for why Pere would do what he did?

Also, considering they are both the same case, and I agree with both of them - why *don't* you like my Pere case exactly?

If I dig around in mine, it is still possible TSO is town, but it will only happen if I dig.

Neither of these are a good reason to not vote Pere - in fact, one is a good reason to vote Pere.

In post 1086, AxleGreaser wrote:While you state it is exactly the same, it really isn't from my point of view.

Given the knowledge I had, knowledge = (one bit is i have read my role PM, and another bit is I had very little idea that the game might reasonably likely be multiball.)
When he raised the point that perhaps you had TMI, it looked interesting to me, and I AM town. So its certain for me that it could look interesting to a towny.
My best guess was the odds on Thor making TMI slip like that as scum were so low that the towny explanation was bound to exist and Thor would know what it was whether he was town or scum.

Okay - would you have dodged explaining that if you were him?
If no - then how does this matter?

In post 1086, AxleGreaser wrote:Also at one point, you were adding into your case that PereV didn't jump at the other speakers on Multiball. That was BS kinda in that their comments were very different.
They were very different worse in that they made them out of thin air, but yours was different in the level of certainty expressed. How you seemed to overlook those differences is ? to me.
Feels like stitching up, either via you tunnelling or otherwise.

My "certainty"?
Describe my certainty and how it is scummy.
Because what I said is "I find it safe to presume multiball" in answer to someone saying "if it's not multiball this logic makes sense"
We also showed, via research, that over 50% of Larges are multiball.
It also shows that I was using the term multiball to refer to SKs as the point was about scum/scum interaction.
So how is that "certain" in a scummy way?
Because Pere agrees with you - but he can't describe it to anyone.
Maybe you can help him out?

In post 1086, AxleGreaser wrote:Later you asserted a number of things about his play, I don't find them convincing.

Kind of odd to say seeing as how I haven't said that.

His case is, basically, that you are making flapping arm motions to make your raised issues seem more important than they are, and when questioned on them you get dodgy and don't give clear answers.
I saw it as quite true in, for example, your raised "issue" with the Anemian opening vote and how you chose to creatively interpret Axle's question to you.

He has been very clear about stating this - why have you failed to even think he has?
Whether or not you agree with his case on you, he has certainly presented it.
Are you reading his posts?

Which part confuses you? I've explained it to others and had them agree what you did was scummy - so clearly the basic explanation exists and is cohesive. So where does it lose you?

In post 1106, PeregrineV wrote:
Describe my certainty and how it is scummy, again.

Why do you need this explained again? Every explaination has you trying to twist it in some way.
How about you explain why it's not scummy to say "It's a safe assumption it's multiball." given all of the public knowledge.

It is inherently unscummy because there is no suggested inside knowledge in the comment and also the comment flowed naturally from the conversation I was having at the time suggesting no strange focus on multiball either - ergo, it was a natural comment to make and also showed no inside knowledge.

Why is it scummy again?

Agreed.
So?

In post 1106, PeregrineV wrote:Actually, I did, even if poorly. Axle did it better and now you

You have failed to explain it.
You have shown that you've claimed to have explained it, and you've shown a superficial "he mentioned multiball - ergo scum" case, but have shirked actually justifying that stance, or showing any particular proof beyond the vague "certainty" comment to suggest it is scummy.

How about this - why don't you explain what my town response should have been to Nero after he commented that his clearing made sense as long as it wasn't multiball (which, incidentally, also shows he was using multiball to reference SKs). What was my town response supposed to be if I thought that it wasn't certain we lacked multiscum or SK? Or, explain why, as town, I should ave been convinced that there was no reason to consider this in scumhunting? Or show why it's scummy if I choose to do so? Or...y'know, anything, besides the empty stuff you have said.

Why don't you walk me through how you read it?

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:You claim that because in your mind, SK + scum is part of the games that are multiball group, the odds are really good. PereV was clearly not thinking about SKs when he made his judgement, that you could be scum with TMI. This makes his concern more reasonable than you seem to be willing to consider. I would read you as scum for this kind of stuff, but even Thor has his limitations. Besides I see other stuff in your filter.

I trimmed this down - you are actually failing to show why anyone would actually consider it scummy. Which has been a failing of this wagon for some time.

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:Here, in the following well know quote, you are being more certain than the previous posters that the game was multiball. (did you forget you said that?) (certainty is now described? HUH?)

I am actually not being more certain than the previous poster.
The previous poster, in fact, is *ruling out* multiball with fair certainty to justify why his presented read is okay.
I am saying there is no reason to rule it out and it is safe to presume it - so his stance is strange.

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:

It also shows that I was using the term multiball to refer to SKs as the point was about scum/scum interaction.

No actually, and very precisely, I only saw you indicate we should include SK after you had seen the data. While i believe you very likely actually think of MB as being including SK, I dotn actually know that that was nota convenient thing you added in later once you had seen the data.

No actually - read my words.
Tell me what I meant by multiball when I was questioning Nero.
Explain to me how what I said makes ANY sense if I WASN'T talking about SKs.
I'll wait.
Hint: what I said makes no sense unless you include SKs...which is one of the reasons Pere suspecting it is scummy.
Also - even when Pere was presented with that info he didn't adjust his tune at all - and I also invited him to explain how it wasn't what I meant, and he didn't. (he couldn't)

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:It only has to be true that pereV thought it might be scum tell. Him being wrong about the stats you "showed" blah blah is only him being right or wrong?

The point is whether or not he should have thought it was scummy.
You appear to have a language barrier, so I can accept that you might be reading things wonky.
Pere has no such excuse. So why did he read it as scummy? That's the scumtell on him.

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:Seriously? are you claiming if he was wrong hes scum?

No - in fact I have been very clear about what I'm claiming, and have repeated it many times.

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:Now that is a problem, his limited explaining of his point of view.
and yeah the fact that I can make up a reason a Town PereV might do what he did doesnt mean he did it for that reason.
the fact that i can make one up and i wanted to see if he had one is one very good reason i stayed well out of the argument until you specifically quizzed me here.

He has had many chances - if he was going to do it he would have.
Why do you think he hasn't?
I think it's because he's scum - what's your theory?

Its what I perceive a rather large lack of towny intentioned play in TSOs filter that I was referring too. If I understand TSO correctly, Lately he has indicated he is answering questions with reading the posts he is responding too.

Sorry, I thought you were defending Pere.
Okay - what do you think of the quality of his answers given thus far?

In post 1120, AxleGreaser wrote:You could always vote TSO.

I have explained why I will not, and also pointed out the similarities of our cases and why my case is superior. You have offered empty thoughts about Pere that fail to make it clear to me why you see the TSO wagon as so much stronger - especially considering you clearly seem to find dodgy answers scummy in TSO...but Pere has been dodging *longer* and with more people than one asking him...so why is he "seeing legit things maybe" and not TSO?

Also, who exactly is sheeping him onto you that you're obligated to defend the case?
The case exits, I actually don't think he's wrong, but a debate of the case at this point is pretty meaningless because he's not functionally pushing it and no one is particularly sheeping it.
Therefore it's just a lot of noise that is annoying and off topic..

Because when someone says it is the 'worst thing' you've done, that is an attack - and when you consider the statement quite reasonable (and, look t how Pere is desperate to stick to that 75% thing when the number is closer to 50% and that's *only* if you use my limiter on size, where if you didn't the odds shift in my favor - and he's acting like that's a thing still and kind of going 'but, aw shucks, people are voting me for it'

All while people are still able to spot that there was no scum slip made by me in any way shape or form.
All while Pere is desperate to keep the conversation on a debate of the percentages, that even if he was proved right on wouldn't make my comment scummy.
All while he cannot explain what actually makes it scummy.

It was an attack, and deserved a response. Also, he was scummy in how he responded and in the decision to make the initial comment.

That is discrediting - I know of many examples of town using gut that late into the game. Is Goodmorning known for *not* doing this? If so I will immediately retract the statement.
Otherwise it is simply a matter of opinion on the town tell, and I personally think anyone who plays like Muffin probably shouldn't be dinging gut reads.
It is buddying because I had been aware of the attack and had called it serious and he went whole hog at it. If I flipped scum, I would expect someone to consider him a scumbuddy to me for the defense - hence it is also buddying, because he's 'getting my back'.

That is why the original statement is scummy, and you trying to act like I'm the idiot is also scummy.

Oh, look, none of my town reads have a wagon on them, fancy that.

Want to discuss my scum case on Pere that you asked for? I find that conversation potentially interesting.

In post 1258, Nero Cain wrote:your case on PV is that:
he has bad reads
you feel he lied to you

My case is more eloquent, but, yes, you have functionally simplified it down - though I think the third and the first point are the same point - as the only read I cited as bad enough to be scummy is the read involving multiball, and I have no other scumtell associated with the multiball point other than inability to defend his belief in it being scummy. I also would note the lie is one I said he directed at town in general, not me in particular, though I will agree I was amongst those he lied to.

I mean, this doesn't even begin to make sense.
Though apparently you sorta agree it doesn't.

Why are you playing so terribly right now?
Should you be replacing out, or is this intentional?

He was challenged because he had not offered "reads".
In that post he did offer many reads and opinions.

I disagree.

Why?
Because "offering reads" is not really a matter of opinion, it is a factual state.

In post 1227, The Fonz wrote:Muffin's PerV push feels like the best push I've seen in this game. It rubs me up the wrong way that you attack another player's vote on the wagon you're on in a way that explicitly calls the attacking player scum, but then bend over backwards to point out this doesn't weaken your vote on the wagon in any way./quote]

In post 1227, The Fonz wrote:On that note, think PerV is scummy, mostly on the basis of the muffin case, not the Thor case.


In post 1227, The Fonz wrote:It is mildly suspicious that PerV pointed out the potential 'slip' in Thor then admitted he didn't think slipping is something Thor would do as soon as he's challenged on it.


In post 1227, The Fonz wrote:Scripten's gut town. I think Izariael is town who genuinely believes a 'strong null read' is a thing (LOL). Davesaz is really glaringly posting lots of IIoA. Newbie though. Consider this a warning to be more proactive. Nero's playing a very safe game, wouldn't have a problem lynching him, but PerV is better.

Also - I will offer a hearty smirk about he Izariel thing.

In post 1227, The Fonz wrote:On Boon, the point is that if he's town, scum now knows he's not vanilla anyway. But there's the risk that if he's scum, he's sliding by on a non-specific power claim. I'd lean no claim, just because I think he seems like a bad enough player that not knowing whether he has a major or minor PR if he's town is a significant problem for scum. Bullets to the face of people who have hinted power are bad. *Cough*Thor*Cough*


He then goes into a deeper Pere explanation.
However, what I see here is;

Pere = scum (plus multiple reasons)
He does call TSO v. Anemian 'nullish' via inference and openly questions the value of the case whether or not you like inference.
Scripten - town.
Izariel - town.
Dave - newb with potential to be town or scum but is considering him. (a fancy null read, basically)
Nero - scummy for reason stated, but a lesser read than Pere.
Boon - poor play, but don't want to lynch or see dead at this point and concider it worse play for scum (ergo - leaning town to some degree)

That is 5-7 reads depending how you want to qualify reads.
That is a post that contains reads - fact.
I suppose you can debate "many" but you can't really debate 25% of playerlist given reads on.
And at that point, what is your specific issue with him only having provided reads on around 25% of the player list?

In other news, you also didn't address any questions I asked you in my last big post communicating with you. The one I regret not seeing an answer to was a deeper explanation of saying Fonz wasn't offering reads, and also when, specifically, you decided to get a read off Toby by choosing not to interact with him.

Out of 20 possible players I offered reads on 13 of them (14 if you squint, but it's really more of a 13).
And I have no stronger read than Pere - which would be quite clear from even a cursory examination of what I've said about him.
What are anyone's reads on those slots that I lacked a read on? Show me a strong opinion and I will show you a meaningless case.

In post 1356, Flubbernugget wrote:How much influence do you think Thor has had on the PV wagon?

Infinite - there is a reason there is only one actual wagon in this game and it's because I'm the only player who was willing to call someone scummy and also push on that wagon to make it happen.
You, meanwhile, are wondering why people aren't dinging me for not having enough clear reads.

Why should it have and who should have started it and didn't?

meant by multiball). If that's not scum motivation, it's a Smurf measuring contest. I don't think it's a Smurf measuring contest.

I disagree with your assessment of what my case is.
My case has nothing to do with semantics and everything to do with motive.
I have defended his case on me with semantics - the thing is, my semantics are backed up by evidence of what I was saying, wherein what I said only makes sense if I meant what I said I mean.
Pere has been told this and his repsonse has been "that's what you meant!?! Well...that's...that's shocking!!! Are you sure that's what you meant!?!" and basically nothing else.
Pere has still, apparently, been trying to understand my case on him - I have repeated it multiple times.
I have also explained the case to others, and had them understand it using the same words I am using with Pere - that makes me feel his "confusion" is a bit of a sham.

I have no idea what your issue with the case is, but I don't think you understand it because you're claiming it is something it clearly isn't - and the rest of your raised issues on me are, basically, complaining that other players didn't do something nonsensical and that I didn't have bad play.

Here's the case on Pere again.
He saw this conversation;

Nero: My read makes sense presuming it isn't multiball.
Thor: It makes sense to presume multiball and I have other issues with your case.
Pere: The way Thor mentioned multiball has certainty - and if it's multiball he is scummy!
Thor: How does that make sense.
Pere: Because of the way you said it.
Thor: Which is?
Pere: With certainty.
Thor: Like?
Pere: Saying "it makes sense to presume multiball"
Thor: Which shows certainty how?
Pere: I'd like to debate your definition of multiball and ask you about other reads as a smokescreen for a while, while still failing to understand why you find this scummy.

It literally makes no sense, and he can't explain it, and my comment makes absolute sense in context with the conversation I was having.
Now, on a quick skim, taken out of context...yeah, maybe, I could maybe see that looking bad.
But upon any examination? It doesn't. It just flat out makes no sense at all.
And there is no semantics in the case - also at all.
And if you think there is you have read the case poorly and don't understand it.
Also, you have awkwardly dropped your rather terrible 'Thor bad lurksack reads' thing - which was also showing poor understanding of the game and the gamestate, and even why I ever gave those reads.

If this is a reaction test you are doing it poorly.
If this is a serious case - you better start backing up what you think you believe with evidence to show you are right.
There is too much of this game to waste on a newb derfing in here wanting to make a stink and making random conclusions based off non-standard meta.
Read the game, read the cases, start talking sense, stop wasting my time - I have literally said everything here multiple times and in multiple ways - you could have learned it all without doing...whatever the hell it is you think you are doing.

What are you doing?

I don't really think it qualifies as OMGUS because he has a stated reason, though I find the stated reason bad.

As I see it the issue is in his last post he was asking me what my case is because he didn't understand it, and I linked it. Now he has no discussion of that, no questions, no followup, but he does quote a post wherein I describe the case (and in no particular way differently from how I have been describing it for days to multiple people) and suddenly it is vote worthy. To my mind that is the awkwardness there.

I can agree with that - I do think it's incredibly suspect that he is noting a 'change' of my case by quoting two cases (one of which is a vote with no case presented) and noting how stuff has changed...when both of those posts from me come prior to his multiball tell. It's like, really, no? Thor's reasoning shifted after the mutliball thing? You don't say!

I find his answer makes absolute and reasonable sense in the context of thinking your reply was directed at the question as opposed to the subject.
I also fail to see why he would fake thinking that as scum.
I also don't think paranoia about his"terrible question" (which was not) would make him freak out - your answer was generically worded enough and grammatically vague that he could easily have taken it the way he claims.

v/la - Oct 14-19


I will probably be around, I hope. But potentially sporadic, so v/la is being declared.

I seem to have missed posts but not a lot of action.
More people need to get their votes in play on meaningful wagons.

Flubber's explanation of posts I should have called out Pere for is a mix of things I don't even find scummy, and things I have never used as scumtells ever. Whoop-dee-doo.
I'm also left with a cold feeling that he talked about my case in a way that showed he didn't understand it, had it explained to him again, and didn't address that - even if just to claim I'm misrepresenting what I'm arguing and his interpretation is correct.

@Flubber - address my clarified case now, pl0x. Especially since you're basing your case off a case I haven't and never did make. That would be sexy. Thanks.

Ummm;

1. Because it is not causing apathy - there was apathy before I started this case and failure to create any wagons prior to it as well.
2. It cured apathy by giving us an actual wagon.
3. If I catch scum being scummy - I point that out. Whether or not you like the case does nothing to adjust that it is a valid and self-contained case.
4. I have pointed out other issues with Pere, that doesn't change what the biggest issue is.
5. Also, in case you missed it, he is playing super evasive since I started in on this - and I have been after him 100% when he does pop through, so complaining that I'm not digging is not being aware of the gamestate and annoying to me.
6. You have failed to suggest why my case isn't good enough even while now admitting it is sound and valid... :neutral: .
7. I think it's worth going after because it's a very good case and Pere is acting sketchy as regards it.

Ooooh, and I almost forgot;

8. Your case is based around the idea "we need a counter to Pere wagon, and Thor should have had a wagon put upon him...for reasons!"

Did you fail to note what page my Pere wagon started on?
Did you fail to note that there was literally no other wagon before or since?
Yet you think the Pere wagon caused apathy even though your case could apply to anyone who started a wagon...yet there is no one else it applies to besides me?
Yeah.

Well, a couple of those are actually quite explicit and not vague at all.
And I don't see the point you're trying to make regardless.

6. If he made a mistake he had plenty of time to at least discuss why he believed in that mistake. Instead he got dodgy - was that also a mistake on his part?

5. Which do you think is the more likely response from a town Pere who thinks he's right? How about from a scum Pere that doesn't?

He's not particularly trying to win the argument. He's dodging the argument. Frankly, if he would get up in my face and be clear I probably would have town read him more.

Meh - I don't care because that's an empty comment and should justify you voting Pere as much as voting me, so it is meaningless to this discussion and shows a lack of thought in your actions. Am I wrong?

2. And complete lack of counterwagon. This indicates caught scum to you.
3. Not really. Everyone else is town. If you have any scumreads besides me, I've yet to see them. If you've found any associative tells with scum-me, I've yet to see them. You are carefully not calling anyone saying "Pere might not be scum" scummy either.
4. You linked back to your own post, basically convoluted saying that the fact I question you makes me scummy. Go you.
5. I've been pretty frank and forward, all without using Smurf language. You've been tunneling and changing your story and been pretty evasive about pretty much a single sentence I posted.
6. Your "case" is complete and utter garbage, and the fact you
voted me for voting Scripten
should not be lost after my flip.
7. I had a better case in Ikuraga (http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 3#p6092463) but I recognized it's flaws (http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 9#p6096029) because I was town. Yours has been scummed up and while not direct OMGUS, definitely reeks of it.

1. My case isn't that, and it's funny that you think so because other people seem to understand that and FLubber is calling me scummy for *not* doing that, apparently.
2. Functionally, the only counterwagon that exists is the one trying to be formed on me - yes, that indicates scum to me.
3. I do not use associatives Day 1 prior to a flip. You are correct, I am not calling anyone calling you town scum at this point - how shockingly evil of me. :?:
4. This is a shallow and untrue statement with little relation as a response.
5. I have not changed my story - you have claimed I have and I have repeatedly noted that I have not. Why does no one else believe you if this is happening? This is a lie.
6. I voted you for having an empty vote on Scripten - I am willing to live with whatever consequences that brings upon me.
7. ...what? You're calling my vote an OMGUS of you? While also saying that I voted you for voting Scripten? I honestly do not follow this comment.

You could put up a final case on each other then wait for like 3-6 days while focusing on other things then come back after providing reads and pushing other people. Whats the point of clogging up day 1 with just a case on one person. Your just filling walls upon walls and you stop addressing your views on other people with this tunneling.

1. I have actually not discussed the Pere case much with Pere - I *have* discussed it at length with people other than Pere.
2. I have addressed many other things in and amongst doing so.
3. I am keeping it in the conversation because I haven't managed L-1 yet. Oh, wow, look at the days left and the wagon composition - it's almost like we should get an L-1 somewhere.

What do you think I need to comment on that I haven't? Or is this just an empty complaint of "boo-hoo, people are talking and it makes things hard for me!"
Because I have to tell you, I am not particularly sold by that as an issue.
You know what the issue is?
That people aren't pushing a wagon to L-1.
That's why the game is going long and stupid.
Not that two people are talking somewhat whilst one half of the equation you're complaining about is amongst the game's serial lursacks.

The worst Thor post was calling this game multiball ( and ) for pretty much no reason (because it's 21 players?!?). Should there turn out to be 2 scumteams, I'll probably strongly advocate for a Thor lynch. Until then, I'll go back and forth with and about him trying to figure out if he is town that I just don't get or scum trying to trick me. Always fun. :]

In post 1107, Thor665 wrote:It is inherently unscummy because there is no suggested inside knowledge in the comment and also the comment flowed naturally from the conversation I was having at the time suggesting no strange focus on multiball either - ergo, it was a natural comment to make and also showed no inside knowledge.

1. I have convinced multiple players and discussed the case at length with them. I can think of at least two that I changed their minds about it, insomuch as they opposed it and then supported it.
2. Okay. So, then, with, in yoour opinion, multiple scum teams, how come I haven't even gotten close to L-1 on you yet if there isn't resistance?
3. This is a deflective jab with no purpose to it dodging how you were scum flailing in your last #3.
4. Okay...and that *is* explained like to a 6 year old. It was step by step. If you don't understand it it's up to *you* to explain where it lost you.
5. Quoting my case from before your multiball call out and then after it is hardly proof of me changing my story, and you know it and it is scummy you're trying to sell it like that.
6. There is no context there to explain.
7. Ah, so now we're complaining that, as I saw new information, I updated my reads? That is different than saying my "story changed". Very different. Like, not even in the same galaxy as a tell.

Strongest compared to what?
I certainly think they're at least as strong as any other case presented in this game. I personally think they are stronger, natch, but I'd be fascinated to see what you would call stronger.

I also do have other people I'd be willing to lynch.
However, as noted, my prime lynch option is the top wagon. I'm not sure why everyone keeps expecting me to compromise at this stage.
That's not how it works.

:neutral:

Oh big whoop - at the stage I voted him my reasoning was fine because he *was* skating through the thread, and it happened to expand into a quite functional case after he decided to whip out the nonsensical surface tell he did and then claim to stand by it as logical. If you can't segment your awareness of the case from the less and more serious aspects (a point, incidentally,t hat Pere is not only incapable of doing - but is trying to sell as skeevy on my part...because...I guess he's literally never seen that happen before?) is pretty 'meh' to me.

In post 1591, Garmr wrote: I would call my point on axles hesitance to say Aneninen alignment,including the passive defense with the meta thing with out explaining what we should be looking at and the (lack of/resilience to express) reads a stronger case than peres.

That literally just happened, and seems sadly in line with Axle's wishy wash talk that he has been doing all day on a wide number of subjects. I'll agree it's bad, I'll agree he looks worse for it, I don't see it as bigger than someone pushing a bad tell, and then dodging explaining it for thirty odd pages even when people other than me have asked him to justify the thought process.

In post 1591, Garmr wrote:Can I ask what you think of the people on the pere wagon other than yourself.

It's literally basically made of people I townread. Regardless of Pere's alignment I suppose I'll agree to the theoretical concept that there is a scum on there, because that does make sense. I'd probably tag Boonskies as the worst supported move, and maybe Scrip and Dave as the ones I personally have the least ability to wish to argue too strong int here defense of. But, no, I am pretty comfortable with the wagon as stands as it does not really contain people I would otherwise wish to lynch today.

What do you think of the wagon, and the reasons people have stated for supporting it?
While we're at it - what do you think of the wagon on me - a wagon I think is the definition of an awkward creation.

I'm pulling an SG here;

@Egg - it doesn't matter, and you continue to misunderstand me, and I don't care.

@Axle - my belief in statistical certainty...if you're going to hang that as the hook for Pere's case...then you better qualify why you think town Pere would take that as a valid scumtell. Because that is a commentary on a meta belief, and not something anyone would ever lie about or "slip" about. So...if you think that's what he meant - then what the heck is he smoking exactly?

@Pere - the answer to pretty much all your things is "look at my ISO" but I will address the bolded thing.

You claim I have "changed" my read.

Please describe the issue I have raised about you that I have, at any point, shied away from and no longer claimed it was part of my case?
Because I can think of two things I have mentioned.

1. You being superficial and lazy distanced - i.e. not scumhunting.
2. The multiball tell and the logic behind it.

First off, #2 is part and parcel of #1, it is just a clear way to show it.
Second off, I have never denied having both issues nor have I claimed to drop one. I will agree #1 was not well formed, and could be described as 'gut' to some level - but I never backed off that stance.
You are scum and trying to paint me as wavery in my attack in order to make it look weak.

The attack is not weak, and I haven't dropped or dodged off from anything I have said about you.
Feel free to prove me wrong.
Please.

There is support for the PereV wagon which means it's not as risky for potential scum to maintain.

:facepalm:
Why do people keep forgetting that I *made* that wagon. If I wanted to, I could make another - I am apparently the only player here capable of such because I've been on v/la for a week and *nothing else is happening* during the period I've been quiet and busy.
Starting tomorrow I plan to take this wagon to L-1.
If someone wants a different wagon get your butt in gear and start playing the game.
Meanwhile, stop acting like Thor is playing anything safe by staying on the "big" wagon - because that literally makes no sense considering what has happened this game day.

So are you settling your count at '4'?

Because the discussion was who could find more.
I, personally, just intend to use whatever justification you use to trawl through TSO's ISO, but I bet I can do better than 4 - especially with intense tells like 'remembers stuff posted in the past'.
