That all being said, I'm going to [unvote] , [v]RTE[/v]

 

Honestly, I prob have a higher scum read on Tsuki, who looks terrible imo (going for lynchbait, not as aggressive as normal, overuse of memes to try and fit in)

 

But RTE is def the better lynch for today. His OP def wasn't good, and neither was his response to a couple of votes, but more importantly he can also potentially give us some more info on everyone else. For instance, if he flips town, then I think Vos will need to be looked at more closely. If he flips scum, then we can look closer at Wombat and Cory, who both kinda soft defended him.

 

And, not to be harsh, but as others have pointed out, RTE DOES usually look pretty wolfy as town. If he IS town this game, I'd rather remove the distraction then leave a good mislynch for scum to use later on.

So yeah, vote RTE everyone.

 

 

Vanilla town. Get a lot more info before you lynch me or you're really shooting yourself in the foot here.

 

This has to be one of the stupidest reasons I've seen you vote for me. And there's been many of them.

While the trend lately has been for me to back off of a D1 train when the target claims VT, in this case I'm not buying it. Claim came way too early, and RTE's snarky defensiveness at the end looks waaaaaay fake to me.

 

RTE LOCK SCUM

 

 

 

"L-7 and no deadline in sight, better role claim!"

 

Said no townie ever, at least no townie worth their salt

You know you are less than a third of the way to a lynch right?

Why not? What's there to keep suspense about? Don't see the point.

Because it reeks of you trying to clear pressure off yourself as quickly as possible instead of actually try and help town find scum

 

I notice you're pretty much yet to give any thoughts about anyone else in the thread, aside from "Betcha one of the two people voting me is scum!" which, well I don't have to tell you that that's a terrible version of a "gameplay" post, do I?

 

 

 

False. Addressed Tsuki hunting Dawn.

 

Other than that more interested in the people not posting than those who are.

Do you realize how much that sounds like fake scumhunting?

 

This sequence is a good example of why Des's playstyle has been poison in this game.

 

Des: you're wrong, I'm right, even if you make good points, I'll spin them to support my own thoughts.

 

No bueno. It's annoying at best and potentially game-losing behavior at worst.

 

Seriously Des, you need to learn what is scummy and what isn't. Maybe play on 2+2 a lot, go through that baptism process.

Tommy almost looks like he's scum-hunting, but he's overdoing it....and every post is tailored to his own bias.  Methinks Tommy got his ego slammed in the door and just can't see past it.

 

@Tommy - maybe you should have your hydra partner try posting for a bit.  For a more objective (and less ego-infused) perspective.

Slight eye-roll at the scummyness of being the second one to vote someone, but whatevs.

 

More than slight eye-roll at Red for keeping bringing up her claim I'm skimming, and yet she (in the same post, nontheless) has apparently skimmed to the extend she has missed that we have a deadline. Either seting up for later or just some double-standards there.

 

 

 

 

Scum Tommy doesn't really care about pressure.  It's part of why he's so good at it.

 

#DAT SCUMMY DEFENSE

 

Red/Tommy/Wombat scum team. Sad that Cory prob had some killer reads before he did what he did

 

:sad:

 

 

Nice AtE.  Not gonna work.

 

 

How is this AtE? Do we have to talk buzzwords AGAIN?

 

 

And Des, for the record, I noticed Wombat saying your "word bomb" is a scum tell for you when it's null or even slightly villagery for you. He ignored me when I asked him to talk to me just now. So I could vote him and not lose sleep over it.

 

Then, vote him I guess?

 

:huh:

 

Dunno why you think I'm the only player in this game you should be interacting with atm. Really creepin me out

 

 

While I see the point it was they two communicating I kinda have to agree Tommys überfocus here is creepy. If he is town, why not let it go and say "hey, I'm gonna catch up, I'll be back" instead of getting into a "whose-penis-is-bigger"-contest with Des.

 

Des honestly you are annoying as hell right now.

 

No one can get a word in edgewise here with you. What the hell is the point of doing all this quoting and posting and blasting if you don't give anyone a chance to get a post in in-between? I've been reading the thread for a couple of hours but I have absolutely no motivation to post until your verbal explosive diarrhea ends. I can't wait to see the dumb post you make when I flip town too. Whether it is today or when we win the game. Anyways I'll post at some point. So sorry I made a lazy post in your esteemed opinion. Those don't make my reads any less my reads because I didn't support them with 55 quotes.

 

I never thought I'd swap you for Cory but this game I would in a heartbeat. Not to mention at least Cory was town. But this is ridiculous. Even for you. I'm tempted  to label you as town because scum Despo can't be this off the handle, but then again that reasoning would support us thinking "that's just Despo being Despo". But I don't think this is Town Despo. And if it is he needs to really take a breath or two or no one is really going to care enough to reply to any of his damn posts. Especially if I have to sift through the last 6 pages that I've already read once to find your post. Not. Worth. It.

 

At this point town or scum you're a hindrance to everyone's gameplay except your own. Relax and let people reply to your so-called cases and WOTs.

 

I think it's real frustration - but not sold it's town frustration. Call it tunneling if you will, but everything RTE posts just reaffirms my vote. I think his team-mates got busy when he started getting heat and it has worked. Everyone thought RTE was scummy, then he kept his head down while everyone kept going at eachother and then everyone kinda forgot. It worked.

 

I'm not the LOCK-either-way kinda' guy, but I'm leaning town on

Mynd,

Darthe,

Des,

Nyn,

 

On the fence:

Red

Dap

 

Leaning scum:

RTE

Tommy

Wombat

 

Everyone else is pretty null atm.

 

And I'm gonna be super-crossed if I got it backwards this game >_<

 

RTE is town, I am town. Now what?

@Tommy - maybe you should have your hydra partner try posting for a bit.  For a more objective (and less ego-infused) perspective.

Remember what I told you earlier? About going somewhere and doing something to yourself? Yeah, give it a shot.

 

I'm trying in earnest, why are you trying to derail me? I'm catching up, and I'm gonna do my thing and give my thoughts. Tough titties if you don't like it.

And this post in the middle of Des's attack on RTE was extremely sheepish and opportunistic.

 

I'd be pretty surprised if Dap isn't scum in this game.

With 18 alive it takes 10 to lynchDeadline: No deadline

I do love me some competing trains

 

I don't think I've ever played with Corey before

But I appreciate the case on him and respect the three people voting him (all three don't tend to play very tight games)

However I really dislike RTes reveal and don't think his train will continue given the new momentum on Corey

Therefore in the interest of having those competing trains

[v]vote RTE[/v]

 

In other news I'm going to bed, exam in the morning so don't expect to hear from me for a while ( 16 hours or so)

Once I'm back though I'll be a free man

 

 

This post is bad, bad, bad. Not only does he bandwagon here, but he eggs on the cory lynch, self consciously acknowledges his wagoning, tries to rationalize it, and then provides scumscuses for his eventual absence, as if anyone cares, followed by a promise to play a lot more.

 

It would be difficult to pen a post more conspicuous and oozing with awkwardness than this one.

 

We need to lynch Dap today, seriously. He's scum.

RTE is town, I am town. Now what?

 

 

Now we play the game to see if you are lying or telling the truth.

 

Okay, what's step 1? Maybe you try talking to me instead of ignoring me?

I actually prefer you to catch up and give your thoughts instead of the "How DARE you scum me?" 'tude you were showing earlier.  If you are truly town, then you probably shouldn't take my vote so personal in the context that up until now you deserve it.  You deserve to be lynched, actually, but if you can get your head back in the game and not act so butthurt, then I might not think you are so scum after all. 

 

If you are town, then please re-read the game without the prejudice that is tainting your reads.  In fact, when you get to a post by TommyRod, pretend its some other player named TommyRod.  See if you don't reach the same conclusions that most of the rest of us are.

I actually get that, my cory fight was, in retrospect, really dumb. I wish I had read the whole thread before attacking him, I appear to have hit him RIGHT as his "WIM" was at a low point for being suspected already. I didn't expect him to just collapse, but yeah, my early posting could look scummy if you don't know our history.

Posted

If I had a gut Mafia lean it would be Quibby

 

He was around for my intro and said nothing about it

 

After some people said it was scummy he said he thought so too and voted

 

Was most sketch of the votes on me

Back to the future: Quibby has yet to really say anything about the game other than "I was wrong on Cory." Certainly a scum candidate, that one.

Have fun

Later tonight I can pull quotes from games on 2+2 where scum Cory responds to me like this after I bust him

 

I can also pull posts showing how he responds to me when we are both town

 

You'll see a stark contrast in flailing

I don't get this response, Mynd. My post about Cory's meta was objectively a very townish post, why did you try to blow it off?

Now we play the game to see if you are lying or telling the truth.

 

Okay, what's step 1? Maybe you try talking to me instead of ignoring me?

 

 

Well, step 1 right now is letting you catch up properly, reading what you write then comment. It's no use to start bantering until that point, as it'll be just that.

 

If you wanna talk, I'm here, but I'd prefer to do so when we are at the same place in the game.

Posted

that is about the most selfish thing i've ever seen a player do in a game Cory. you dig yourself a hole that you cant get out of so you cut your nose off to spite the town and leave us one in the hole on D1 with the lynch still looming.

 

I consider Red clear for this post, reads super genuine and came right after he modkilled himself. I would lock her in as town.

Posted

 

 

Villager checking in!

 

FoS, scummy OP is scummy  

 

 

 

Villager checking in!

 

This OP stuck out like a sore thumb. Miffed Des beat me to it, but yeah.

 

[vote]RTE[/vote]

 

 

[v]Vos[/v]

 

his OP may have been scummy, but your vote is scummier and opportunistic.  why you find RTE saying he's a villager scummy, but nothing about Cory who started the entire thing?

 

 

This doesn't make sense to me. Almost everyone (including you) has agreed RTEs OP was super-scummy. I was the second one pointing it out and at once followed through with a vote (which I stand for). How that is opportunistic beats me. 

 

 

but seriously let's fast forward

i assume 4-5 people are going to be all "rah rah cory is talking about how he's an obvious villager he's so scummy"

 

everyone listens to me anyway and lynches my top suspects

 

some lolcory stuff happens

 

town still wins pretty comfortably

 

just going to fast-track it at this point, get me like 200-300 more posts by tomorrow evening (preferably a handful of everyone, drag them out screaming if you have to) and i'll give you all the lists you could ever need

 

Lol!

 

More seriously - especially to Red who pointed it out - I was expecting Cory to come into the game self-clearing-guns blazing, and being completely (to me at least) unreadable. From so far in the game I do lean scum on him. I think the "Wim-loss" and subsequent "threatening" behavior looks über-scummy. But again I'm not confident in my own ability to read Cory so I want to hold off for now, see how his playing carries on and take it from there. 

 

 

Vanilla town. Get a lot more info before you lynch me or you're really shooting yourself in the foot here.

 

This has to be one of the stupidest reasons I've seen you vote for me. And there's been many of them.

 

Yup. Still feeling very good about my vote. 

 

 

Other than that, I think Tommy is town. Even if Cory is too, I doubt Tommy would risk the heat from being so certain about Corys alignment if it was a set-up. 

 

Strong town-lean on both Darthe and Des.

 

Wombat looks pretty good so far too. 

 

Slightly more iffy about Dap. Might be something there. 

 

Everyone else is pretty much null minus or plus atm. 

 

 

Vos, good timing: just found this post by you and like it a lot. I'm comfortable giving you a town lean for this post. And yes, I do award town leans for good posts if I feel like they're unlikely to be written by scum due to sincerity, tone, or content. In this case it was your somewhat flabbergasted but still reasonable responses to Red and Cory that I liked, as well as you building suspicion of Dap. Reads as a townie thought process.

Posted

And I also missed Corys suicide. 

 

Anti-town town is anti-town. 

 

Meh. 

 

I'm reading this as genuine as well, I'd give Vos a medium to strong town lean after this page.

 

I'm pleased by that since I had him as a suspect before.

Posted

Nope, the ninja-comment had nothing to do with my read on Cory (except he apparently took MK-suicide). 

 

I fail to see how my comment is flip-flopping. I tried to make my stance on him clear, but ok - to clarify even more (this is - ignoring the suicide-part which I guess clears him and proves me wrong):

 

Corys game so far has read to me like scum, so I'm leaning scum on him. Period. 

 

I'm not confident in reading Cory. I don't know his playstyle at all so I'm wary of jumping the gun here and voting him. He is in my scum-pile but I want to see more before we lynch him.

 

Tommy came out and pretty strongly claimed Cory was scum. I didn't link them, they've had a strong interaction. So far I belive Tommy is town. Cory claims Tommy is scum but I'm not sold, even if (/when) cory flips town. 

 

Did that clarify abit?

 

I guess it's all void and null now though, but for what its worth. 

 

(see, I told you I suck reading Cory  :dry:)

 

Vos, I'm curious -- why do you have me as scum in the present time given what you said here?

At this point, I was with you on the Cory read.  He read to me as scum and I've only played two games with him.  My gif was an attempt to push cory some more (in light of your flailing comment)  Had I known he would do what he did, I wouldn't have posted that. 

Posted

Before I respond to the quote below I want to make a statement that I sincerely hope is understood.  Suiciding by manipulation of a game mechanic or for any reason that is intentional is something that is bannable for several of the moderators on this site, myself being one of them.  It has been pushed to be a ban from this forum because it is manipulation of something outside of the game and thus against the spirit of play.  With that said let's continue.

 

 

Rest assured, we are indeed vanilla town.  I've seen him become this excited as town before.  Gonna try and pick through to see who's taking advantage

 

This is odd in its' entirety.  "Rest assured" is a statement made to comfort someone before.  "See who's taking advantage" implies that everyone else is inherently at fault.  The first one is a scum tell and the second is simply illogical so perhaps it should be expounded on for Hallys' sake, as she may give a clearer read than Cory right now.  

 

@Hally, there may be people who are taking advantage of this if you two are indeed town.  However, you can't make the above statements and anticipate to be taken seriously ever because they are all made from the perspective of someone who already knows their alignment.  If you assume that we are inherently wrong then you aren't paying good attention to your hydra partner or aren't being logical based on his impassioned plea.  I'll tell you exactly what I've seen from Cory.  He cares about games as town, yes.  I like that a lot about him.  What I don't like is that he can't handle the pressure of being scrutinized.  That's a huge flaw in his town game (if this is indeed his town game, I've never seen this from him before) and instead of him responding adequately as we are used to seeing Cory do, providing us with reasons that he should stay around all that he has done is exacerbate the behaviors that got him here in the first place.  To the point of things those are: Immense ATE.  Cory is usually passionate, here he reads as beggarly, pleading with people to recognize him as town without giving reason to do so.  He is looking for "ways out".  Why?  My simplest question of his play so far.  Why does he need to be out of the spotlight so aggressively?  Can he not handle the pressure of being under the aforementioned scrutiny?  None of us know since he hasn't been in this position before and his reaction to it has been so bombastic that it appears from the outside like he will do anything to avoid being voted.  That's a classic scumtell though I am sure you knew that.  The biggest is that his tone has changed.  Cory is trying to play to each person voting him.  Nobody likes that, nobody experienced at least.  I can't see a town sentiment in the lot of these things because ultimately all that they tell me is that Cory doesn't want to be lynched.  That's the message being sent, not "Cory wants to win".  The difference is tangible in his posts and play thus far and so... choo choo.

 

Oh, for the record I have been that D1 lynch enough times to know very well how frustrating it is to be critiqued like this Cory.  I say I want you to show me why we shouldn't lynch you and you, in your emotional state, feel like you've done that but you honestly haven't.  I can't tell you a way that consistently works to defend yourself in mafia because there is no defense for your own reactions and misconstrued interactions with other people.  Accept it and move forward with this lesson.  It was quite humbling for me to realize that on D1 if people think you're scummy then you don't have much that you can do.    Even if you did you'd be more of a hindrance to town the rest of this game than a help anyhow.

 

 

Red you think everything is scummy.  Define "Scummy" please and then show it to me the next time you come across it.  Atm you've devalued the word to the point that I don't much care about your reads.

 

This is probably too much effort for Darthe to even bother with as scum

 

I'd move him to the "let's just ignore him" pile

I haven't mentioned it yet but if I die soulread says Cory was right and Tommy is scum.  Mark it.

 

I hate this post, but I'M IGNORING HIM

Posted

Sorry about taking so long

I ended up going rock climbing cos I could


Right so I'm writing this as I read

 

Firstly Cory is emoing but I see a banned above his name so i might refrain from talking about his posts till the end cos I don't know where it's all headed.

 

Lenlo does a summary post

In it he calls me out for now denying I'm mafia (with regards to when RTE called one of the two people voting him mafia...)

Yea I wasn't voting him at that point dude...

Vote Count

Nyn(2)- Wombat, Des

ReleaseTheEvil(2)- Darthe, Nervo

Darthe(1)- cory

With 18 alive it takes 10 to lynchDeadline: No deadline

Actually you say that I only vote him at the end of your wot, I feel like I'm missing the connection? Why do I need to defend him calling one of the people on his train mafia when I'm not on his train nor am I mafia?

 

Anyway more interestingly is how you go for Darthe in this post. You call his list crap, but it seems largely due to you disagreeing on who he finds scummy. It's a rather deep line in the sand for a relatively new game IMO

You also go pretty far in your defence of RTE and it's purely based on meta in summary (dudes a walking magnet for votes I believe was the phrase)

 

Oh you think I need despots approval! Right. Well I do appreciate his WOTs I really don't need approval, that'd be way against my meta and I'm not that sloppy am I.?

 

Biggest stand out issue I have with this post is this however

Also here on this page though was Tsuki coming in and making jokes which is odd. From what ive seen from Tsuki is hes generally much more into the game and pretty good at casing. Want more.

That plus quoting Tsukis post about the keep calm poster then this:

As for the scum list I might be able to see Tsuki, as hes generally a much more focused player than this, but hes still not that scummy compared to Vos and Dap imo.

Are all you really say on the dude.

The last bit is an almost throw away line that seems placed just to verify the read you throw on him later (scummy)

 

That worries me Lenlo, why have him on that list when you really don't seem convinced.

 

Ok dam, Len is silenced. I expect an explanation on the Tsukis thing and that RTE and me thing when you get back please.

 

Dawn pops in with a vote, Cory's response still annoys me.

Wombats silent monks made me lol

 

I like red this game, I don't agree with a lot of her thoughts but I like her headspace

 

I just deleted a bunch of stuff cos Darthe beat me to it in post 413

But here are the cliff notes;

 

And there is the ban reason

Oh

 

I feel like it's been said already so no need to relieve it, but poor form

/speaking of that ever again

 

 


 

Having posting issues it seems

Hopefully this works

[unvote]

 

 

This post is BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD

 

Read it and tell me you don't agree with it being a terribad post

PLEASE VOTE FOR DAP JESUS JOSEPH AND MARY

Still you, but looking better.  Player has been added to the Salad.  RTE and Red are still there, and you are more of a garnish at this point.  I'm liking your latest posts though.

 

I have a feeling Dawn is getting some coaching, which suggests she's on a scum team. 

 

What are your thoughts on Womby at this point?
