;P Nice to see you Drixx. I'm gonna slog through the last 30 pages, am really busy though. Anything I should know/keep in mind while reading/quick summary for me? I saw a dead jailkeeper and a VT in the opening post?

So I've read up through page *checks* 6. Not much progress.

But uh hey have you guys figured out that bombcat slot is town yet? Just wanted to make sure cuz that seems bloody obvious.

Drixx's arguing with him seems so pedantic and weird that I've written it off as him trying to Kickstart the game by conjuring an argument, and it's not strongly AI but I'll give him a brownie point.

So did anyone intend on playing mafia or are we having a quiet contest?


VOTE: Raya

I've read through to the flips on page 19 and I'm content with this for now. Drixx earned more brownie points for reasons I forgot, and I was about to be stupid and talk about how town whatshername was but lo, she has flipped already.

Welcome, itlepip. You are currently my strongest scumread.
I've read *whispers in ear* everything

I figured out on like page negative 7 that the scum team is ray and key, then proceeded to have that confirmed repeatedly, and then literally everyone else said the same thing but talked themselves out of it or got replaced or died.

Can you explain what is so bad about this so I can defend myself rather than just calling it gross.
Certainly!
It's an old axiom of mine that kills happen for a reason. Scum don't kill at random, and they don't kill to weave convoluted tinfoil hat conspiracy theories about whateverthehell. Therefore, shuffle wasn't killed to bring suspicion onto a town!raya; after all, if scum were interested in pushing a mislynch onto you, they'd want to keep the player pushing on you alive and have one more voice on their side.

What I've concluded here is that shuffle was killed for her reads, for being vocal against a scum!raya.

SO, your posts are gross because it's scum 101. Kill those who suspect you. When it's brought up, claim WIFOM. "I didn't do it, that'd be stupid" is the calling card of ze scums, remember that for future games.

In post 831, Raya36 wrote: I wasn't saying that mafia was killing at random or conspiring against me and killed Shuffle to bring suspicion onto me. I was simply saying that if I were mafia Shuffle would not have been my first choice of a kill since if I was thinking ahead I would have seen that Shuffle was sus of me and killing them would only bring more sus onto me.

I can sort of see why you are coming to this conclusion but it still doesn't make complete sense to me. Can I ask you why scum would want to kill a player sus of them? I understand that they obviously don't want that sus but it isn't that hard to think ahead to the next day and see that town will probably just end up being even more sus of you since the player sussing you was nked. It would make more sense to me to save that player for a later nk so it doesn't look like you are desperate to eliminate the sus.

I will keep this is mind. I don't mean to be defending myself with solely this reason and I understand how it is a scummy defense but there really hasn't been many other reasons brought up as to why people are sus of me. I get that scum could easily nk someone sus of them and then say what I've been saying, I just am not used to this playstyle being used and I thought it would be too risky for scum to actually ever use which is why I never really considered it before.
Well the idea that I'm getting at is this: Mafia want to control the "flow" of town. They don't want players alive who suspect them. And they know that they can kill players who suspect them and get away with it the majority of the time, and the way that they get away with it is either by hoping no one notices, or if someone does notice they say it's all WIFOM, or someone declares that analyzing night kills is pointless, and then lo and behold the naysayers were all scum who didn't want you to pay attention to the man behind the curtain. It's a very easy situation to talk yourself out of, which is exactly why I insist on being a pain in the ass about it :P


Lemme change tact here and ask you a question: Raya, why do you think that Shuffle was Nightkilled?

If you feel that both are scum, then why are you insisting someone change? You can easily hammer bombcat, who is defiantly telling us he won't claim or say anything. He's daring us to lynch him in what looks like a classic case of scum bravado to try and get us to blink. Take him up on his dare and hammer him. You literally just said he's scum. He's reacted to being put at L-1 in a scummy fashion.

Something is very off about that post keyen.
Itlepip, you just said this post was bad? Talk to me about this please?

Cuz what I'm seeing here is like...Good. I think? Drixx is telling key to hammer bombcat, directing pressure away from Burgerking, who has since flipped town. Why does Scum!Drixx even give enough of a fuck to stick his nose in here and redirect pressure off of a mislynch?

Talk to me about your Drixx read in general, pwetty pwease?

In post 837, itlepip wrote:ugh the logic assumes I am town but bear with it just to see where I am coming from, replacements make games annoying.

So we have Drixx, a strong player who has very little content in a gamestate where only a few players, (bombcat, shuffle and maybe Key) had any actual analysis that game. Key basically is listening to whatever he says. There are two lynches looming right now, and for the sake of analysis they are both town. One of them is BK, who is going to be a mislynch at some point of the game. He isn't actually playing the game or willing to defend himself. Second there is bombcat who has does play the game although has an awful personality which is NAI. Drixx doesn't even have any logic for either of the two slots being scum (or any content d1 after post 70), but seems to be voting annoying people. He pushes key to switch reads and hammer bomb without using any logic for why bomb is a better kill than BK. A good player doesn't trust that Key has 100% found the scumteam d1, especially in a game as empty as this one, but Drixx doesn't care and pushes for a hammer. He also doesn't After the town flip (and the shuffle kill (which Drixx would make after 441 but I think almost every scumteam imaginable would kill shuffle)) BK was the opposite wagon to a town flip, and since he doesn't play the game almost certainly dies there with maybe some suspicion on Drixx but more on Key for hammering a town and PoEing two town.

Then finally the day ends with the other wagon than bombcat being killed, and not only does Drixx not push on RC the next day at all but sheeps RC's scumread on Nancy. Plus he very little good content this game.

Plus the 'I would have killed Nancy' was meh, especially since we basically had a conftown. He hasn't done anything towny and did a scummy thing which I expect way more from town Drixx.
I think I already know what I think about this, but rather than commenting I'd like to ask Drixx to reply to this.

In post 838, Raya36 wrote: As for why Shuffle was killed, I think it might be because they were one of the more vocal players. They didn't have a huge amount of posts but they were engaging in conversation, scumhunting and they seem to be a strong player. I also don't think they would have been an easu mislynch for scum to push.
It is of course possible that they had a lead on who scum is
but as I had been explaining I don't really like to depend on that since so many factors go into who is NKed. Maybe it was a mix of both? Being a strong and active player as well as maybe having a slight scum read or slight lead towards who is scum?
With this in mind, what is your read on Key?

It isn't just that they put multiple wagons at L-1, but the way they voted with little to no original thought or explanation of their own, just coasting along with the wagon. Idk if Raya/Burger scumteam makes a lot of sense to me at this point, but my scum pool currently is- Raya, Burger, and Flog slot/ThinkBig
In post 447, shuffleplay wrote:Also hey town, if I die tonight, pleaaaaaseeee look into Raya, ThinkBig
So raya, you are correct, I have no idea why I thought shuffle was scumreading key.

Now that I've actually done my homework: with what you said earlier in mind, do you think anything of the flogger/thinkbig slot?

To the best of my recollection I've never played with him. My heyday was like a year+ ago, except for like once a few months ago where I tried to play again. So uh..I'm hella rusty and I don't know any of you people except for Drixx. I think you were in civ mafia before I replaced out? Yeah...

I could look into TB, but if we're looking for an active lurker I'm feeling more gut pains from Drixx. And I feel bad saying that because I know he has had his medical issues, but his content when he does pop in is so..lackluster. it's really rubbing me the wrong way and I've kinda been silent about it out of hope that he'd actually reply to us but he isn't so uh :/


Pedit: oh look more words

I can go reread rc again but I felt good about what they were doing, and bombcat was really solidly town to me, despite his..weirdness at the end there. I feel good about that slot.

Key might be scum but I've forgotten why *nods, smiles*

nancy/ZZZX - still working on it.

Raya36 - scum. Although I'm worried that the shuffleplay kill was a frame kill, I think some of Raya's post and votes feel rather opportunistic to me.

This is where I'm at now, though as I said, I'm working on re-reading the game and trying not to tunnel too much on the bombcat slot.
drixx - scum lean. Hasn't really done much scum hunting this game and has not really tried to move the game forward. I understand he is sick and has medical issues so I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Itlepip did also just enter the game today, yes? He's at least given SOME content so far, and based on that + good tummy feelings I can give him more time to dazzle us.

Bombcat, if you strip away the really gross parts, was fine ? I generally liked what he had to say about the game state and he had good reactions when he got ran up early on

You're caught up completely right?

pedit yeah his stances have just been a hot mess all game, look at the way he was treating my slot it was like he was scared of scumreading me but hedging on it then when RC displayed a scumread he jumped on it
Yeah I grok exactly where you're at re: ray. She kinda came across earlier today as if she were frustrated town? Newb town being rail roaded? Mostly a feeling, plus it's notable that no slot in this game was sticking up for her which is pretty telling.

She's not exactly cleared but I'm happy she made content and made me feel a bit better. Need more from her tho.

And yes I am completely caught up

1. Ewww you mean you don't use the 3rd person they/them/their? Drixx I thought we were friends what the hell :(

2. My point is that you were taking the time to redirect pressure off of TB and get people to hold back, and that's weird, man. And as I noted earlier in this game, I don't really listen to the "do you really think I'd do that as scum" defense.




I get you're super frustrated unhappy mode right now, and regardless of your alignment I'm sorry bruv, I respect ya and I want you to have ~fun~, maaaan. This games been a bit of a slog and hopefully the next ones better

Drixx if your next post doesn't touch on this in some way,
I am hammering you. The number of times that people have asked for a response to it and you've ignored it is fucking ridiculous, and no you did not respond to it at any point no matter how much you claim that you "must have".
In post 837, itlepip wrote:ugh the logic assumes I am town but bear with it just to see where I am coming from, replacements make games annoying.

So we have Drixx, a strong player who has very little content in a gamestate where only a few players, (bombcat, shuffle and maybe Key) had any actual analysis that game. Key basically is listening to whatever he says. There are two lynches looming right now, and for the sake of analysis they are both town. One of them is BK, who is going to be a mislynch at some point of the game. He isn't actually playing the game or willing to defend himself. Second there is bombcat who has does play the game although has an awful personality which is NAI. Drixx doesn't even have any logic for either of the two slots being scum (or any content d1 after post 70), but seems to be voting annoying people. He pushes key to switch reads and hammer bomb without using any logic for why bomb is a better kill than BK. A good player doesn't trust that Key has 100% found the scumteam d1, especially in a game as empty as this one, but Drixx doesn't care and pushes for a hammer. He also doesn't After the town flip (and the shuffle kill (which Drixx would make after 441 but I think almost every scumteam imaginable would kill shuffle)) BK was the opposite wagon to a town flip, and since he doesn't play the game almost certainly dies there with maybe some suspicion on Drixx but more on Key for hammering a town and PoEing two town.

Then finally the day ends with the other wagon than bombcat being killed, and not only does Drixx not push on RC the next day at all but sheeps RC's scumread on Nancy. Plus he very little good content this game.

Plus the 'I would have killed Nancy' was meh, especially since we basically had a conftown. He hasn't done anything towny and did a scummy thing which I expect way more from town Drixx.

What I am especially interested in is why you push key to hammer bomb? What is your though process there, what are you trying to accomplish?

@Nancy - I see one of the first things you said is that I would have fear killed you. You're right. I mean ... the slot I replaced into was pretty scummed up, but you played me like a fiddle as I tried everything I could to escape the rope. It was like the proverbial cat and mouse situation. Just thought I would acknowledge. Skill don't lie.
In post 845, Drixx wrote:Umm... I'll let Nancy point out the games which represent why a scum me would just kill her and avoid having to deal with her particular brand of crazy. Like ... LOL.

ThinkBig should know better. He's watched me play enough.

VOTE: Raya
This is what I have found after like, triple checking your iso to ensure I'm not just crazy or dumb or something. These posts were all made prior to the post that itlepip made, hence us saying that you didn't respond to it. But I can also sympathize with blowing off a question you've already answered, which you thought you did because reasons

I think we're just talking past each other, no bad faith argumentation here friendo. Ignore the nancy parts of itlepip post, focus in on the part about telling key to hammer bombcat and we gucci

...Well don't all talk at once :P

I know Drixx is the Belle of the ball right now but I'd really like thoughts and words from all of you.

Raya, as the last newbie in this game, we're kinda supposed to be helping you ease into the site and teach you and stuff, so I'd hate to see you just sit on the sidelines. Come play! What are your thoughts regarding the game state right now? Any reads to share?

This was an emotional roller coaster to read lemme tell ya

I am not at all sure of your read on me and raya. It seems like you're flipflopping and being non-commital and reversing yourself within posts just minutes from each other and I really don't know what you're thinking.

If Raya is town for a TB case, then why do you want her lynched if drixx flips town?

@key: "look I'm just expressing my thoughts here"

That's fine, great! But my take on your last few posts is that you've basically pointed a finger at everyone and haven't made any solid conclusions. You're kinda setup to go after whoever you want if Drixx flips town.

Why are you so confident in drixx flipping scum? Talk to me as if I were a 5 year old who hadn't been paying attention to the game

Full disclosure I'm kind of bothered that Raya consistently points the finger at flog/TB slot for some reason or another no matter who's in it, but at no point votes the slot.

Apparently I somehow haven't posted in 2 days

I think flogs interactions with drixx and key are....perhaps indicative of them not being scum? Key and flogs arguments were...odd, I maybe think that scum buddies wouldn't interact like that. I suppose it all could have been staged but a simpler explanation would be that they're not aligned.

As for Drixx,
In post 190, TheFlogScrogger wrote:I would also like to add that Drixx could potentially be Bombcat's partner and their entire opener was a ploy. Why would Drixx assume that Bombcat voting him was a troll and that he should be kicked out?

I think that this response makes the most sense if they are mafia together and Drixx was extremely taken aback by Bombcat's vote, insulted even.
Newb-Scum calling an interaction scum vs. Scum? Like...idk man that's shite.


I really just want Drixx to come back here and give a fuck but I don't think he does :(

I didn't state it exactly, but the implication there was supposed to be that a newbie-scum calling an interaction as scum vs. Scum = both those players are more likely town. Drixx and bombcat (now itlepip) get brownie points as a result.

Hrmph.

You're just so hesitant with your vote and I can't decide if it's a scumtell (i.e. you seem at times preoccupied with not looking suspicious/drawing attention) or really is playstyle/other site meta.

Like I wasn't trying to be mean, I just wanted to see if I could twist your arm into actually taking a position.

As stated before, itlepip/bombcat/thatwholeslot has felt pretty obvtown to me. Drixx is still the 2nd scummiest scum butt in game but dude idk snore this fucking game

I can understand why scum is lurking. What about the other three of you?

That is literally the worst thing anyone has posted this entire game. It's IRRELEVANT when I respond to those posts. That's an excuse, and a tired and bad one. It makes you a hypocrite too. You sit and do nothing and refuse to do something with the excuse that I'm not doing exactly what you want me to do.
This goes double for Elbirn, who damn well knows he doesn't need me to do shit in order for him to evaluate other slots.
Dude, get fucking bent. We have all been evaluating other slots. Everyone has been doing shit. You've dodged every attempt everyone in this game has made to engage you or ask you questions, and when we call you on it you whine and bitch like a little child that WE'RE the problem. You are literally 0 percent content and 100 percent excuses and promises to post content, bitching that other people are the ones not giving content, and just fucking no

You're being a shitter. You're being hammered after you make your next post or 24 hours, whichever comes first. If you're town and have any intention of being slightly useful you will post this mystery content you claim to have been working on.

Can someone tell me when site rules changed that you can't even breathe too hard on another player or they'll throw a hissy fit? Maybe I need to put on rubber gloves and preface every post with "darling dearest friend, my comments on you being bad are in reference to your terrible play and not you as a person" because otherwise we must make the leap to "you're bullying me"

I don't even want to play this game, there's been like 25 people in a 9 player game, 2 slots are inactive and 1 might as well be since drixx took his ball and went home weeks ago.

A lynch on any player other than Drixx isn't even possible with this game state and I'm tired of sitting here waiting for other people to give half of a fuck while I spent weeks basically begging for Drixx to take the noose off of his own neck but SURPRISE you don't care either

I'm finishing the games I'm in and then I'm done with this shit

VOTE: Drixx

I like you as a person. Hope you're scum and we have a laugh about this at another time

I still need to do more thinks and I've got work to do and also I'm still feeling hungover from last night so I'm not doing my best mental thinking work

The thing that's doing my head in right now is that, with drixx being at L-1 for like over a week, should have meant that either

1. Drixx was last scum
2. Scum was already on the wagon

Because I don't know how else scum-Raya doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to take a free mislynch. I went into a bit of a tunnel on Raya considering what I viewed to be some scummy behavior, and admittedly it's quite possible that scum-Raya is too timid / admitted herself that she thinks optimal scum play is to avoid suspicion and maybe thinks a hammer would draw too much attention

So I need to go think about that some more

I'm also needing to think about the implications of nk'd itlepip, and what motivations go into that. He was apparently townread by all so not really mislynchable, making him an obvious target.. but also consider who becomes the most mislynchable person depending on the night kill, and who scum wants to take to lylo. If scum is key, this is the exact lylo she would want, if me and Raya seemed set to go against each other. If scum were raya...well, if I were her, I'd have shot me, not itlepip, I think.

Idk, back to anime and drinking water

Enclosed below is a spoiler of vote counts that may or may not matter. I'm going to think about them later.
You really don't need to bother opening the spoiler it's literally garbage and no commentary and is entirely for my own information because I'm at work on phone and no where to save

I'll say that the Day 1 fighting between key vs. Flog as dueling wagons, followed by the lynch on whatshisnameburgerkingmaybe is the key here, just have to analyze it

Exhausted from travelling homewards in the snow, I stopped to light a fire to rest, but the dog interrupted me by barking in alarm. I cancelled the task and zoomed out a little to see what was going on and there are robbers in the tile I zoomed in on. I guess I'm about to lose the net I got a discount on at the village. I'm way too fatigued to win this fight but I will try.

A bear! So, bears are dangerous! Bears will fuck you up. Don't go messing with bears. But if you have to mess with bears then ranged weapons while it's in a trap and can't get you are a good start. If you don't have any ranged weapons and don't want to go buy some are bored to throw rocks at it until it dies then tie your dog to a tree because your dog will defend you to the death and it's not going to win, and engage the bear but back up and walk away as soon as you get more than slightly injured.

There's a recent change that trapped animals don't live forever anymore and will die of natural causes after a little while in the trap but I am going to try to kill it a little bit on my own first, but if it injures me then I'll retreat and let it die on its own. Bears can one hit kill you but they don't always, especially if you have good armour (which I don't).

Raya what do you think about key and Flogger wagoning each other on day 1? If you have time, can you reread those posts/pages and give me some thoughts? It's also...interesting, where key claims scum and tells flog to stop bussing her. Repeatedly.

For example, I don't know whether or not to conclude that "oh, they did some elaborate distancing/bussing play right there" or to conclude "okay lol they can't be scum together"

Elbirn, you've been really helpful a lot lately and I would really give you town points for that, however, I don't really trust your slot. Maybe because it was a ZZZX slot.

Raya, I know that I've been scumreading you so hard Day 2, but honestly, I am really townreading you at this point and since when you gave that ThinkBig case. I still don't trust you though and I would be really frustrated if you really turned out scum this game, but I would assume that you're town here.

So that leaves "me", whom I know is town. If I were scum, this isn't the LyLo I would go for, instead, I would've killed Raya since I think that she can convince Elbirn/Itle's slot that I'm scum, she can also be a threat to me, and I want to get rid of her since Day 2, but she wasn't the one who was killed last night, so I don't really agree with the reason that this is the LyLo I want.

Sure that Flog's slot was scum, but I would never EVER really hardclaim as scum like that. Sure, I claimed scum, but not that I would really completely claim that I'm scum. I hardclaimed scum because Flog was insulting, frustrating, and manipulating as fuck, and I feel really defeated to the point that I just want out of this game, but I still tried my best to stay on this game. I've been really unhelpful with a lot of the games I joined in, and I don't really want that to be my meta, but that's just how I play.

Bussing is also not on my playstyle if I am gonna be scum, so if I were scum with Flog, then I wouldn't be able to bus and create a case against him given that I can't respond to pressure and I don't really give a case that much against a person.

Sorry if I've been unhelpful on this game and some events I may not remember since a lot had happened, so I'll try to re-read my ISO. I'm really lazy af.

Soooooooooo to be clear, I want to lynch Elbirn rather than Raya. Still hesitant on this, but this is the one I want to go for.

This post was wishy washy garbage consisting of

1. Telling us what you would or would not do as scum, as if that's something that's not going to be biased, and comes across fishy as all hell. Very over defensive
2. Telling us that, basically, you have reasons to townread me and have wanted Raya gone for days...but you want to lynch me instead for no reason

Key I'm going to need you to tell us actual reasons for your reads. I'd also like if you could link us to past examples of you claiming scum, as you said earlier you do it frequently.

Alright so I have an utter shitshow of a game wherein God almighty was not merciful enough to direct scum to shoot me, thus causing me to unavoidably be the cause of Towns loss in LYLO, where my options for a lynch are

1. The scumshit who claimed scum after being #TrolledHard by her own scumpartner leading to a ridiculous cross bus
2. The scumshit who consistently pointed the finger at her scumbuddy all game but never voted him, supported his wagon during the above mentioned dueling wagons scenario, and had a slimy hop on to every wagon she could to put it at L-1

I really can't give a fuck at the moment, I think I'm gonna go have a beer and then just flip a coin

Oh yes, a tip for Raya

If you're scum, hammer key asap and you win
If you're town, please at least make a post here confirming that you could have hammered but didn't. This will make you confirmed town

My vote wasn't to confirm you as town, my vote was to lynch who I thought was scum.

The advice afterwards was just tips for a newbie, as an SE I feel I owe that much? Like if you were scum I wouldn't want you to not understand that you won the game, and then have it slip through your fingers. It'd be unsportsmanlike.

I basically decided there was too much wifom bullshit going on with key for that not to be a scum ploy. Reading over the key vs. Flog exchange, keys emotions come across very...fake? there was not enough pressure for her to claim scum and start a fight with flog and repeatedly tell him to "stop bussing". For someone who claimed to be frustrated and pressured and so did something silly, it really doesn't come across in her posts there. And even if it had, well...what was there to be upset about? 1 vote?

It was a scum ploy to distance from each other, with a sprinkling of "what the fuck is this bullshit" for taste. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for us meddling kids

Yeah Raya did well! During the game I gave her some flak for never voting Flog slot but now with the knowledge that she's town, she did successfullly point out someone as scum. Just needs the confidence to really act on that/get used to the sites way of voting, rather than her homesite where you get to vote only once? And then she chose correctly in LYLO which is always a difficult thing to do

I hope you play moar games here Raya, this one was a bit rough but is not indicative of MS. Lots of cool stuff and cool people fun happy time yes good ~☆

I think flog and bombcat were badgross but have this weird hope that they're misunderstood and if we leave them alone for a bit they'll blossom into good human being flower...things.

I might be giving too much credit but I just don't like to railroad people
