Mini 2084: Pokemon Ruby Mafia - Game Over

[Tim Goodman]

I do think it's generally a much better precaution against my scum game to treat me as locktown so that it's actually strange if no one tries to kill me

As soon as people start paranoia reading me, it becomes easy to explain my continued survival as scum and the strongest argument towards lynching me evaporates.

[Creature]

Also possibly URAP2 is just ignoring this game regardless of alignment.

[Tim Goodman]

I think what content exists from URAP2 is already pretty scummy.

I also think Chemist has 0 posts that indicate any sort of actual gamesolviness.

[Tim Goodman]

For my personal records, what's your read on me right now creature?

[Tim Goodman]

I feel like this is a game where town's general PoE is going to be really good but it's possible that we end up leading on the town in the lynchpool.

[Tim Goodman]

The only real reason I have to TR ofhrz is that I agree with the readslist

I'm thinking the correct play is not to second guess townreads or deepwolf hunt at this stage and just kill the people who have no gamesolvey content.

If we have a non-consecutive protective of some sort it would be very nice of you to holster tonight.

[Tim Goodman]

VOTE: URAP2 for now at least. I do think they're scummy, not just inactive.

[Tim Goodman]

If I had to guess at a scumteam right now it's {URAP2, Chemist1422, DP}

[Klick]

This is the third time my questioning has been shut down by "I'd rather not say [yet]". At this point I'm going to assume at least one is scum who didn't have an answer for me at the time.

Reeeeally not getting good vibes from this post.

Town for now.

Case on URAP2? I'm not opposed to sheeping, but tell me why.

[Pine]

So is DP a no-go today?

This pings my scumdar hard.

Why?

I think it's mostly "what is this person's objective?" If EP is Town, then their objective is to lynch their scumreads. If they're scum, then their objective is to blend in. A classic newscum strategy is to just go along with the consensus, keep your hands clean. Making an unpopular stand on something is difficult, risky, and Townish. So the quoted line, taking the temperature of the consensus, being willing to equivocate...it strikes me as newscum. It's hardly an ironclad read, I'd need to do an ISO dive to get a better handle. New players are always the worst to get a read on.

Still give me the case on URAP2, but depending on the ISO I may follow my own advice and pursue this lead.

[RedPanda]

Pretty ok with tim and creature for town, rest of my analysis will have to wait until Monday.

I will write 20 pages of analysis too scumbag.

It was because of this post from dp. When I first read it it he pinged me as scum because, It was only three pages and most of it was rvs and this guy seemed to be trying too hard with the "analysis" but then I read tim and creature and I completely agreed with his read and townread him for good townhunting in three pages. But I didn't want to waste the opportunity which I why I called him a scumbag and tried to reaction test others to see who would jump at calling him scum but people didn't want to engage which is why I was so frustrated.

I think my ISO will stand for itself. If your scum radars are still going off after that, I'll be happy to chime in.

[Pine]

Well damn, that's a reasonably Townish post. I'll ISO you when I settle in for the evening.

VOTE: URAP2

all aboard the URAP2 wagon.

[RedPanda]

Tim I don't think urap2 is scum.

Redpanda, otoh, is likely scum. Their posts feel like those of a hyperposter. Like, read a post in isolation and it feels like it's coming from someone who is making moves and getting reads from how others respond

except they're not doing that. The disconnect is likely scum-indicative

Read that post. I can see why you would think that's him bussing cause I see it too but I am town.

[Klick]

Well damn, that's a reasonably Townish post.

Why?

[Pine]

Well damn, that's a reasonably Townish post.

Why?

Self-assuredness, confidence in one's own record.

The best way to defend yourself is to simply BE Town and do Townish things. EP here is asserting that I'll inevitably come to that conclusion if I just read his ISO. We'll see.

Hi fellow trainers I’m your new CJV

Welcome!

VOTE: redpanda

Can you elaborate on why?

probably just because of 378

at a computer now, so I can quote more easily

Now I think I caught two scum and you were just trying to bus the other at first and uturned after tim gave you some slack.

This just seems reachy. The quoted post seems like RP decided to scumread the CC/Cinnamon slot and is justifying holding onto his read for questionable reasons

[ofrhz]

But did you just ignore my case against you both? If you were objective you could see that I was targeting slots that were being opportunistic.

I agree with DP here Klick's push seems to be pretty bad. I don't think their reasons for pushing Pikachu are good at all.

I have a bit of an EP scumread here. Their response to 67 and not 68 kind of suggests that they're trying to get Tim on their side, or at least take the spotlight off them. While it's not scum indicative to push on lurkers it's an easy way to generate a read as scum and it also helps bring attention to other players when he's getting pushed.

VOTE: EspressoPatronum

I'm cool with this right now.

Tim or anybody else townreading Ep rn could you explain your EP townread?

From my perspective 219 is pretty townie from CC but I didn't see anything that stood out to me as townie from EP.

This looks like scum posting an opinion on the dp slot after a few of us already townread it and moving on to the espresso wagon after a few scumread it and now is stuck and flailing around now that espresso heat is gone.

Why couldn't Cinnamon have just been a townie who had these opinions on Pikachu and Espresso? What about these posts seem fake to you?

[Detective Pikachu]

VOTE: urap

Spoiler:

to fake it being l-1 so someone can fakehammer for a lulz reaction test or to accurately say it's l-3? questions, questions

reaction test probably won't work when he hasn't even looked at this game in days and his scum buddies would probably count the votes for him 0.o

[Tim Goodman]

Ofhrz posting is rly bad.
