Defeatism on the stand and appeals to emotion are giant scumreads. A member of the informed majority who knows the jig is up and has given up. A member of the uninformed majority would be hitting back like crazy, zealous with the righteous feeling of being wrongly accused. Trying to pick apart anything they can and giving the town information on how they read everything even if they know they are going down. Defeatism is the act of the defeated. A townie mislynched day 1 is far from losing the game and should still be trying to win it. A scum lynched day 1 knows the odds of them winning now have been slashed and your little temper tantrum of "lynch me I dare ya" reads like exactly that.In post 398, JenLew wrote:Yeah you do that.

What would you like me to say? "Oh please don't? Oh I promise I'm town?" None of that's going to matter anyway.

My initial thoughts were Srceenplay as everyone knows but these last few posts he started to change my mind. I don't like vote jumping which kas why I haven't unvoted. I would've as soon as I've gotten enough on someone else to justify a vote.In post 404, FireScreamer wrote:

But I don't buy this coming into a game and all of a sudden I'm the scum when I know for a fact I'm town. I don't see in any of my posts how I could have been flashing SR at everyone without them seeing the strobelight.
The only way he can be so "sure" I'm scum is if he's infact scum and I'm town and was probably on to something.
This lynch is going to happen no matter how hard I fight it or what I say. No need to get stressed over it. At least my lynching will get town to night and then you'll finally start to get some answers.
I've played a game before were I was sacrificed which actually secured a win for town. I'll do it again in order for town to get some info.-

207 and 247 are the main offenders being talked about. Sensfan and yourself made it. I think I added a bit to it in my ISO of him. Do you want post numbers of people reading him?

This is my first time digging out ISOs, I just hope I'm doing this right. Also kind of annoying because ISOing lots of small posts is easier than wall posts (in my mind anyway) and my internet's been doing me a disservice but whatever I guess, here you go.
At that point in the game everyone was convinced Srceenplay was scum but he brings up the possibility that he's making a gambit, although as scum. I don't blame him for not considering the possibility of Town!Srceenplay making a gambit since he was a universal SR at that point. Town lean on Drixx at this point in time.In post 65, Drixx wrote:
This is screaming scum vibes to me at this point.In post 40, Srceenplay wrote:The other assumption is that you will be able to lynch scum without them getting information on a pr.
Scum will kill at night that is unavoidable. Mislynching is avoidable by
VOTE: no lynch
Are you ok with lynching a town? I'm not.
And then the sudden reversal to this.
So the way I see it, one of two things is going on here.
1.) You realized the mistake of your no lynch push and jumped to this to try and get the attention off of that.
2.) You're scum and are making one heck of a gambit.
This only plays out a couple of ways. Since you have given no actual reasoning to believe she is scum, it logically follows you don't have any. Please do correct me if I'm wrong on this point.
So we could lynch you, and if you flip scum we can reasonably assume that either she's town or it was a gambit. It would be a pretty big stretch for it to be a gambit, but possible. If we lynch you and you flip town, we learn nothing whatsoever. If we lynch her and she flips town, then you go tomorrow, and if you're town that means you put us into 5 man LYLO with this stunt (presuming no kills are stopped).
I'm inclined to just assume we've got caught scum (you) in this bizarre turn of posts.
Please explain why and how you have "found one scum for us". If your explanation and reasoning make no sense, be prepared to defend yourself, because I can see absolutely zero town motive in your play so far, but lots and lots of potential scum motives.In post 74, Drixx wrote:I count four posts since I asked for an explanation of why she's scum. None of them give any reason to evaluate. One of them is a clear dodge.
Genuine annoyance at not seeing where Srceenplay answers his question. Null tell here but doesn't look like actions he'd take if he was partnered with Srceenplay.In post 78, Drixx wrote:There has been no explanation whatsoever. You are being intentionally obtuse. At this point, I am going to just assume that you are trolling, and you're going to find a hostile audience to that on this site.
VOTE: Srceenplay
At this point if Drixx and LadyeAeaea ARE actually the scum team then they've done a good job convincing me otherwise. I also doubt that Drixx+Srceenplay are a team due to Drixx heavily accusing him of trolling and angle shooting here and the two of them having an argument which seemed genuinely heated which I alluded to.In post 183, Drixx wrote:
Angle Shooting is accusing someone of breaking the rules (your repeated referring to my posts as threats) in an attempt to bait the game moderator into stepping in and punishing the player. It is seriously frowned upon because mod censure should only happen as an absolute last resort. Therefore, attempting to influence the mod to take action against another player to further your win condition is considered against the rules and colloquially referred to as "angle shooting".In post 121, Srceenplay wrote:
Angle shooting? Against the rules?In post 106, Drixx wrote:
Stop angle shooting. It's against the rules.In post 95, Srceenplay wrote:Your threats are not appropriate. I feel like you are mad/angry that is who I'm voting.
Furthermore, I take the newbie queue seriously, and if you're just here to troll, believe me I will go to the mat to ensure you don't continue to have the opportunity to do so.
As far as I can see, you have two options now:
1.) Play the game and answer the question SEVERAL of us have now asked you, and which you continue to dodge. Stop trolling. Stop trying to angle shoot.
OR
2.) Keep screwing with a newbie game and see what happens.
I think everyone would prefer you stopped with the trolling and antics. Seriously. We're well beyond reasonable territory here now.
If there are rules you as ic have a responsibility to explain and show them to us. Don't state facts without explaining that is misleading and something scum does.
I am taking this seriously as well. There is not just one play style anyone will see playing so there is no reason for someone not to see it now.
Stop saying there are only two options. That is untrue. There are many things people can do or choose. I will not conform to your will and do what you want. Don't imply in newbie games that is what you are supposed to do under pressure.
Show me the troll posts please.
As for showing your troll posts, I could have just quoted most of your ISO before this post, because we kept asking you to explain the reasons you were scum reading Lady, and you kept just asserting that had done so, when you had not. The fact that MMM saw what might be viewed either as newbie confusion OR as cognitive dissonance in post #24 wasn't enough for me to put the dots together, and I'm pretty good at this game. I went and read that post a few times trying to figure out what on earth made you slingshot from pushing a no lynch to being certain Lady was scum, and I couldn't see anything in that post that was anywhereenough to be so sure. And you simply refused to give your thought process or any kind of logical reasoning or ... anything.NEAR
Trolling is only NAI until it starts harming the game, and you were harming the game with that long string of refusing to explain.
Looking at this from someone else's perspective at that point in the game it seems justified.
This is very good advice.In post 139, MMM wrote:Actually one small request, don't hammer before everyone *COUGH* Meduna has at least posted once.
I'm a little wary of MMM right now. There's a little bit of a touch of opportunism in the stances. First going along with Srceenplay on a posited Lady+me scum pairing, based upon almost nothing, and then putting out posts claiming to fear being mislynched when Srceenplay flips scum, and then going for easy town credit here.
We've probably been through this often enough by now but I like this post.
This is where you finally post what made you go from "we should no lynch" to "I'm certain she is scum" and I get what you're getting at finally, and if I had not made the IC post that I did, I would actually agree with you. Post 24 appears to have cognitive dissonance. First she asks what an SE is, then she asks about an incentive not to lynch the IC ... so there's a bit of a experience dissonance there, especially with the end of the question asking if I can communicate after dead. But ... take into account my IC post and it feels genuine newbie question through and through.In post 168, Srceenplay wrote:
This is the somehow elusive for everyone post.In post 102, LadyeAeaea wrote:
I assume given we have two weeks and you didn't give any reason as to why you scum read me, that you'd either eventually do that or you were throwing out a random vote. If you have any questions about what I've said so far I'm happy to answer them. But I don't really care, or want to waste my time defending against nothing. Or maybe I missed something and you can enlighten me on that.In post 72, Srceenplay wrote:Well I did.
Plus she posted since and ignored my vote and fact that I called her scum.
In terms of my post regarding the person that gives as advice - I was inquiring as to why they're in the game rather than having a player who doesn't have a role fill this part. Like, very easy to look townie when you're providing useful information imo. Does that make sense? If you can explain your read on me since apparently it's a serious one, I think that'll be a good step. If you *are* just trolling, I hope we can at least get good reactions out of this. If you are scum then lol - although I'm not really sure about you being scum because of this behaviour as I think it'd be rather reckless of you to not only advocate for NL but also tunnel blindly right off the bat (or maybe you're a noob who's never played mafia :p). I think we should definitely be looking at people jumping on you for these actions for an easy mis-lynch.
I don't have much time today but I'll be way more active tomorrow when I'm sitting in the library studying all day (yawn).
In this post you ask a question about not knowing what a SE is. Then you move to knowing IC is important and imply that it would be best not to lynch. After that to finish the post it looked to me that you were asking if you can still talk to IC after they are dead.In post 24, LadyeAeaea wrote:Also what exactly is a SE? And isn't there a direct incentive to not lynch the IC because they're useful - or can the IC still give us info if they're dead?
Agree?
What I don't like though is that a lot of his posts are actually just providing information (which I left out because tedious, I'll list the posts/sections I mean if anyone really wants me to). He's null because I honestly don't have enough to go by for him compared to other people even if said people posted the same amount.
Writing up Srceenplay in a bit, if I did anything wrong tell me before I move on to him please so I can improve where necessary.-
