Lurking as a scum strat has a much higher negative impact than lurking right now as town, though.

I mean given her strength as town versus scum in *this* setup especially, why not?

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert at guessing what nsg's team would do/what they're doing, I'm saying I don't understand why the lurking is town indicative, because I don't think the logic for why she wouldn't lurk as scum is nor very good,

It is entirely anecdotal but my entire experience with team mafia is that people will help a bit and some people are more likely to than others, but the time I won most of my teammates played ok to well and I got carried like fuck and had about 5 posts the entire game and won.

So any argument that has basis in x team would do y bc this is team mafia is inherently flawed and will get you nowhere. Better to drop that entire line of thinking and take everything at face value.

To provide actual works to answer Dunn's question.

The point I am making is that there is a right way to ask about suspicion on yourself, and just asking and getting ammo on how to fix it and be town read is not the way to do it. That is why I am scum reading Auro. All of the mentality stuff I am reading in Auro's posts reads to me as working out how to be town read not how to convince others of their own reads to work with others. This isn't even town ego either which I would admit is probably townie despite being a shithouse way to play the game that I am a hypocrite for calling out.

The entirety of my reasoning is Auro cares more about being town read than finding scum.

Gobs question becomes a thing.

Dann shows his inner fan boi towards NSG

This is pretty much just Dann and I.

In post 50, Auro wrote:How does the answer to "Why White Flag?" give any useful information? The reasons would have been established prior, and there's no picking games after role assignments anyway.
I didnt mind the question because I do think that there could be info we can glean from a choice. Like if anyone wanted to be in this game and why. Or if everyone was forced into the game then there would be nothing to gain from it. I also don't mind the cageyness of Gob around his reasonings because tipping his hand about the reason behind the question could compromise his ability to get anything from the question.
In post 58, Cephrir wrote:Also one of my teammates thinks he's just town!
Who?

Ceph started in on Gob here .
Hopkirk became a thing and my head started to hurt.

Page 4:

Ceph and Gob go back and forth a lot. Ceph seems to have an issue with the use of big words and is making a meta argument against Gob, but when called on it Ceph denies that its a meta read while only talking about meta and even admitting he was still going on about meta. To call someone "wooden" is to imply that you have seem them before as town as has been looser then he is here. If meta isnt the basis for the casis, then what is Ceph?

I don't get the bit Hops doing. That team knows they dont play in all the games concurrently right?

In post 100, KittyMo wrote:I'm having some trouble seeing how these fit together. It might help if you expanded on how you're "unsure of the sentiment."
Sure, I'm saying that the interaction was something that made me stop and pay attention, and in I'm saying that I don't know if its AI and what I meant about the sentiment is that there isnt anyone on here on irl that I would fan boi for. Like I've met people at conventions and shit, but ive never been like omg and starts gushing. I only do that for people I know but havent seen in awhile. Like if Titus is in a game I'm in, youll see it.
In post 103, gobbledygook wrote:I didn't even see that post, but yeah that is a big personality.
I don't think I'm that big.

I do like how Ceph is bouncing around, it reminds me of town games with him.

I don't have any scum reads yet but I guess I can live with that
Should i be insulted by the bold?


Biggest take away from the 1st 5 is a town lean on Ceph based on his vote hoping and the pressure he's putting on slots already.

I don't like how bogged down Dann got with Gob and the RQS about why this game as I posted above I think that there could be info to gain from this.

Gob also took some heat from multiple slots and I think he came out the other side looking better each time. Town lean here too.

Also glad hopkirk was doing a bit and that slot might calm down a little.

Why not? I have stated I do this as town, and Dunn has sort of affirmed it too.
Also, debating on reasons behind scumreads on me usually helps a lot in forming reads. Absolutely disagree that it's the "wrong" approach to scumreads.

Also, I'v espent a *lot* of time arguing for my scumreads -do you need post numbers? How do you justify claiming it as not spending time trying to get them lynched. Frankly half of my "outlogics" are about me explaining my case while people call my case scummy.

In post 140, Hopkirk wrote:Not a fan of how passive 100 reads tone wise. She made a lot of comments but what she left out gives me the impression she was avoiding getting into the noisiest/messiest/most visible parts of the game. Fence sitting on Gobble. Not getting involved/commenting about me (the hydra thing) and the gobble/Ceph conflict that were both going on at the time.
This is an interesting read. I didn't feel like Kitty was doing that, but I was also not involved in the "messy" parts so maybe it just feels that way if you were active in the thread? I'll have to look back at Kitty to see if I see the same thing.
In post 142, gobbledygook wrote:The desire to not want to be voting me is not scummy, the need to move it to another person to talk with them is weird. You just did it with Auro too.
Cephs actions dont ping me like that, ive seen plenty of people vote for who they want to talk to, its almost like a shout in a crowd to that person because they will definitely see a vote for them if they are active.

After Kittys i no longer feel good about Hopkirks Hottake. I liked this part "I don't think your takes on "the first part" are great. Like, you seem to be arguing it's both "too prepared" but also something he didn't think through enough when he asked it which is why he had to overprepare later?" towards Hops read on Gob. Looking back at what shes talking about made me look at Hops posts in a different light. Town points for Kitty.

Page 7:
In post 155, Dunnstral wrote:I did though, I think Dann wrote you off as town too fast and was kind of scummy in the posts right before the vote
Which posts and why didnt they make it onto your catch up? You talk about Dann in your first post and you seem to like him, and then without much mention of him you flip your read.
In post 169, Auro wrote:FormerFish isn't as impressive as his former games at all. He has a lot of posts, but not a lot of content, save a weakish push on KittyMo.
Which games are you basing this meta off of? And I don't feel like I've been posting much at all. I've been working through some stuff irl and haven't had the drive to do many things I enjoy.

And if I made a weak push on anyone it was Dann.

I like Dunn over Auro in their beef.

Dude what. Quickly interrupting me reading up to state how this is a terrible idea. Why would you participate in an event consisting of games where everyone is expected to be playing at their best, knowing you don't have the time to do so?

Others are dependent on your performance, not just of your team but also your faction in this game. You are an absolute liability to the town if you don't put in effort, which takes time. I really hope to see it from you.
Wow, this was a bit unnecessary to me. Unless this is a joke and im just taking it the wrong way...
In post 181, wgeurts wrote:Okay so, I like Dunnstral and Cephrir for town, probably also Hopkirk but I want to talk with them. I don't particularly like both FormerFish and Auro, and have doubts on Turkey being scum as the interaction with Cephrir seemed pretty TvT for an early game exchange. I want to hear more thoughts from Joan as sorting them can be tedious if they're not all too invested.

Will write up my explanations in a bit. I'm way too tired at the moment.
This is actually kinda scary how in step we are. I even don't like myself at times.

Dann do you think that Im scum reading you because of my rvs vote? 151 and 153 are me poking at Gob to see what he'll do, kinda the same thing i did to you with my rvs vote. Thats kinda what i do on d1s if you havent noticed. Some may be hunters, but im more of a gatherer. Strongest read is on Ceph town, and i liked part of Geurts entry, not a fan of the rebuke.
In post 186, Auro wrote:Join the FF wagon?
You love wagons based on nothing dont you? Is that because you aren't very good at forming reads so you hop from wagon to wagon in hopes that something clicks for you?
In post 186, Auro wrote:It's quite simple reasoning. A continued push on reasons I (at least initially) disagreed with, on a slot I judge likely town, is slightly likelier to come from scum than random to my eyes. You've never seen someone push someone else for pushing a townread of theirs?
Also, can you give me a brief explanation of your scumreads so far?
Isnt what youre describing a chainsaw defense? You think my town read is scum so you have to be scum.

Form reads based off peoples own actions not how you think they play off other reads that arent set in stone or ever verifiable.

I didn't see Auros vote on Dong coming, I kinda thought there were teaming up to come after me the way they've been talking. This just got interesting.
In post 195, Auro wrote:Maybe it's your style, but scummy nonetheless.
Do you disagree?
Why do you speak for Dong while you are voting him? Dongs issues is with Ceph, you dont need to step in for Dong.

Page 9:

Dong is going deep on Ceph and Auro. I think his instincts are correct on one and not the other.

Not a fan at all of Auros vote for Ceph in . Like Auro admits that Dong hasnt done anything to wash the scummy taste out of his mouth at all, but still moves his vote to someone who is clearly towning it up here.

I dont like this. The voting progression of Auro and Dong feel off here. Like they vote for separate people, and then for each other and then one sheeps the other. It just feels to incestuous. And if the vote is on Ceph because of his play style thats a weak vote and you both should feel bad about it.
In post 229, Hopkirk wrote:@Formerfish: could you explain the thought process you had while posting this? It reads like the textbook 'LAMIST' and the connection between your monologue and Gobble's post feels loose at best - as though you wanted to post this and you're using Gobble's post as an excuse to post it. Don't really see why you'd want to as scum or as town though, so interested in your mindset.
He said that white flag is hard to win as town. I disagreed and explained why I felt that wasnt true. I don't know why youre calling it a monologue because its not even among the biggest posts in thread and was made on page 2 in response to something from page 1. I dont understand how me explaining why a post made sense for me to contribute at the time will help change something you see as NAI.

He kinda retreated, which I see coming from town more so than scum. If scum saw a chance to rake me over the coals for being a douche they would have. Ive been teetering on Gob a little, but I keep coming back to the town side based off a game i played with him recently.
In post 243, Auro wrote:I explained it in the very post you quoted - FormerFish's content was unimpressive, unlike in my previous games with him. Why was this hard to understand?

Basing meta off booneytunz extravaganza, weren't you Nev?

I do love wagons based on nearly nothing in RVS, yes.

Playstyle is no excuse for scummy play.

I did form a mild push based on people's actions - their attack of a townread of mine.

I admitted the opposite about Doing, what did you get out of post 259?

I didn't "step in", I was also attacking Ceph from before that, so...? How is this scum motivated anyway?

I see the Dong+Auro association but that's not a path I'd take if I were scum with him, lol.

Ducky could have said that to him as scum only if you were town. If Dann is scum Ducky could have told him to keep an eye on you and then had to come up with a reason why he said that. This probably means that Dann and Auro are not scum together.

FF is a slot I wouldn't mind lynching D1, but NSG I wouldn't - even if there were reasons to believe she's scum, I'd put her off for a later day.
Is this the shit on FF game and no one told me?
In post 321, Auro wrote:Yeah I wouldn't apply a BoP to FF
So NSG is worth keeping around to see how accurate her reads are, but I can die today? Thanks bro.

I agree for the most part. Definitely on Hopkirk, somewhat less confident but still town reading Auro.
I guess i spoke too soon about people not putting out reads from teammates in thread they dont believe in themselves. Does Cane have a lot of experience with those two in particular?

I like this vote about as much as when he voted foe Ceph.

Is this another one of those throw shit and see what sticks things, or are you moving your vote to sit it until deadline when we eventually have to lynch Gob because of deadline?
In post 332, Auro wrote:@the Joan of Arc point: I think Dunn's reasoning actually makes sense here, and if Gobble's actually scum this would make Joan very likely town to me. However I can also imagine scum!her being coached into naked wagoning and lurking...
I dont understand how you could come to any conclusion on Joans alignment based off Im here and a naked vote on Gob. Literally 2 posts. If Gob is the lynch and flips scum I would see that as nothing other than a distancing vote from Joan.

the worst also concurs! Although he has not read the entire game I don't think and has no other reads besides you
If he hasnt read the game why does it feel like you are using him as a crutch?

Ive never played with NSG so I dont know her meta to comment on. Why is she the only scum read you explain? Wgeurt, Dong and I are all below the line of demarcation, but NSG is the only one of us high enough to get explained.

VOTE: Formerfish
Gob is the scummiest player to Dunn. Gob claims to have info on NSG that makes her scum. Dunn votes me while asking his biggest scum read what makes NSG scum. That totally makes sense.

At this point Brad stood up from his computer and went into the kitchen. In the back of the cabinet there was a bottle that had grown a bit dusty over time. Some ol' kentucky rye whiskey sloshed in the bottle as it was removed from its forgotten home. See the only time that Brad ever drinks from this bottle is when he has read something that makes his head literally hurt. Brad used to go the hospital in the past when things like this happened. He would explain how he felt and the doctors and nurses would listen and they would run some tests. All of those actions were in vain as what Brad was suffering from was not something that could be deduced by any tests known to man. Brad was suffering from an allergy to other people and the things that they say that make no sense at all. Brad has been doing good, staying on the right path, avoiding politics and any discussions of religion. Playing Mafia was playing with fire though, and deep down Brad always knew that this would be the ending given enough time. Well what the hell, I know the medication says not to drink with it, but thats just a suggestion right?

Yes, as a hydra.


I do love wagons based on nearly nothing in RVS, yes.
Sweet, learn anything from your vote hopping?


Playstyle is no excuse for scummy play.
I don't see Ceph as playing scummy. I see this as his town game. Look at him in Baton Pass and you will see the same attitude, posting, dismissiveness everything to a t.


I did form a mild push based on people's actions - their attack of a townread of mine.
Attacking a townread of yours shouldnt automatically make them scum to you. Don't you think you'd want to engage the person with a differing view to see if you were incorrect and therefore could reassess and readjust or maybe explain why you have the read you have and see if you could change the other persons? It seems kinda silly to arbitrarily decide someones alignment based off your reading of a different slot. You could easily be wrong and are tring a scumbag and are scumreading a townie based off them correctly scumreading the scum that has snowed you. Again, im pretty sure this is a chainsaw defense and is a scummy thing to do


I admitted the opposite about Doing, what did you get out of post 259?
I must have missed that one.


I didn't "step in", I was also attacking Ceph from before that, so...? How is this scum motivated anyway?
You did step in because you were further explaining Dongs position against Ceph. Ceph asked Dong a question is response to a post Dong had made. Before Dong responded you made a post. Its scummy because either you are white knighting dong or trying to pocket him here.


I see the Dong+Auro association but that's not a path I'd take if I were scum with him, lol.
I mean, it might not have been what you meant to do, but it looks like it happened.

That brings me up to date and this is where i am reads wise after all that.

Townie: Wgeurt, Kitty, Ceph, Hop, Espy

Nullie: Dunn, NSG, Gob

Scummie: Dann, Joan, Auro, Dong

Looking at the wagons we have 3 leading ones, Ceph, Auro and Gob.

Seeing Auro, Dong and Dann on Ceph make me feel good about that slot being town considering Joan would have to come back on to naked vote there as well for all my scum reads to be voting Ceph.

Auro is being voted by Ceph, Hop and Espy all people I have good feels about so far. Then Gob has Dunn and Joan on it.

VOTE: Auro

I asked him this and this was answered earlier.
You're throwing a number of stale attacks that I've already responded to. Perhaps read through the game once before asking questions? :P

You were the primarily active head in the early stages of BooneyTunz, that you were in a Hydra shouldn't change much. Again, I was only talking about posted content - not the lack of activity. Even if you were unhappy, I liked your posts (even though I remember my slot was in conflict with yours a lot).

I'm not shitting on you, I'd award a BoP rarely. NSG being easily detectable as scum helps my reasoning, in that she wouldn't pose a major threat to town early game.

I don't think distancing happens this early in a White Flag game, especially if your teammate's being pushed by multiple people. (Regarding Gob vs Joan)

Yeah, learned a lot from my vote hopping, I've explained my trajectories on various slots - are you even reading my posts?

You'll also discover I moved off Ceph (although I don't quite want to), being dismissive and uncooperative is easy for scum to hide behind.

The "attacking townread of yours shouldn't make them scum" argument has been repeated ad nauseam in this game and is frankly a huge stretch from "minus points". And I did exactly what you describe in that long paragraph - engaged with a person with a different view and reassessed. Misconstruing it as a rigid, solid, stubborn scumread is scummy.

Lol, you do realize my attack was parallel to Dong's before he asked that question, right? And weren't you saying we were SvS?

Which part of "they still didn't bother shifting votes off a top 3 townread" is fallacious? It's a pretty standard standard to hold someone to, moreso from a known competent player.

So you care more about the single rvs vote on wgeurts from NSG that is in no way a danger to wgeurts because he has one vote and I havent seen many people saying hes on the top of their scum list.

NSG has said she isnt very involved in the thread right now and you seem to have an issue with that.

Joan said shes here and then naked votes Gob and you seem to be just aofuckingk with that for some reason.

Why worry about a vanity rvs vote at all?
