why?Shanba wrote:Unvote Vote: Oman
I dislike cicero's defence of himself.
the only reason I ask is because in Underground you posted mountians of text, was wondering if we will have such posts here. And to agree with Fonz, I think you have "game", are active (though not so much here yet), and have the ability to watch and comment, versus comment and watch.Jitsu wrote:
Sorry guys, I was tied up with work Thursday and Friday. I'll catch up
I didn't want to mention it, because I think someone could (legitimately) gripe that they should have been chosen over someone that's only played two mafia games ever.
+++
At any rate, I was hoping that we weren’t going to have so much theory conversation in this game, but maybe that is just how games go with a day start. Theory discussion, then pounce on the guy we think has faulty theory or is pushing bad theory as fact. While reading (catching up) I haven’t really considered the Cicero wagon a real wagon, though it appears others have, though I don’t know why.
Shanba’s last post I found interesting….and would like him to comment it on it now, please.
Unvote BT, though I note his lurking.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

I agree..Oman wrote:I know this may come off OMGUS, but I think Shanba is "lurking" heavier than BT is. BT seems absent, Shanba is posting little content.
and I just realized that BT lives like 30 minutes from me...I work at Tech 2-3 times a week...no real importance to the game..just realized that.

I hate Day 1s without a Night 0, or maybe I am just insecure about my scum hunting abilities day 1 with little to go on. not sure why the wagon is shifting to Shanba if he is not even posting at this site.
unvote
my last question to shanba still stands though..and you should consider my vote still there.-

who knows what could happen. I agree with you that I seriously doubt that anyone will be quick lynched here with the caliber of players we have here, but it is a habit. The quickness of the shift startled me enough to make me to want to remove my vote until Shanba returns. I can understand a BW to pressure someone who is here, but this BW seems off or disingenuous. That being said I want my vote to still be considered there (for the time being) but I don’t like the company of voters I am voting with atm to actually keep it there.Jitsu wrote:
So you still want to hear his reason, but you are unvoting and saying that Shanba should still consider your vote still there? What's up with that? He was only at four votes by my count. I highly doubt that he was in any danger of being quicklynched.
(laughing) so my unvote at L-3 was scummy or just odd (in your opinion)? Why did it warrant a vote? Something about Sime and Oman’s quick votes for little reason bothered me enough too not like my vote there. Noted, you felt Oman was scummy, and his quick vote (following Sime) for little reason makes him less scummy then my cautious unvote.shaft.ed wrote: I agree with Jitsu's point against CKD:
To unvote at L-3 is a bit strange to me. You know there aren't any wild cards in this game that will come by and hammer out of the ether.

yes, but I am also suspicious of the quickness and reasons of others who placed vote..thus, I dont want my vote there any longer, but wanted everyone to know that it could returned based on Shanba's reply. one could also hypothize that if Shanba was town, and unvoted because I didnt want to be assocaited with a town lynch...it is sort of a lose/lose situation when someone begins to attack an unvote, like you have. Now that the conversation as surfaced, if I vote someone else (or shanba again), it could be hypothized that I voted someone because of the pressure of this conversation. I understand this is bordering false dilemma territory, but you can see how starting the arguement as you did, leaves you room to adapt as needed. Not saying you are doing this for dubious reasons, most likely you are just scum hunting and "looking for reactions"...but I am interested to see where it goes from here...shaft.ed wrote:
Why would you want to avoid a wagon on him if you remain suspicous of his play? It seems possible that scum would unovte like that to avoid a wagon on there buddy. Thus it seemed possible you put the vote on him as a form of distancing but didn't like the prospect of him encountering a sizable wagon out of the blue on his return. But I do realize that this situation requires both you and Shanba to be scum which is a lot of assumptions to be making at this point.curiouskarmadog wrote:
in a sense I was, but at the same time not (psuedo vote). But lets say I was for an instance...that means I am likely scum in your book?shaft.ed wrote:
If felt like you were trying to avoid a wagon on him.
if you really thought it was a scum manuver, why didnt you wait a bit to see where my vote might have gone next (wouldnt that have provided much more information?). or even waited to see what Shanba would have flipped, if/when he was lynched?-

your vote was not based on my lack of content from my retort to cicero's post....what do I need to explain myself about Adel?Adel wrote:ckd -- you could totally use this as a chance to post some actual, you know, content and explain yourself. I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't pointed it out -- I missed it!
I probably would've caught it much later in the game when I was doing my relationship breakdown analysis.

so the answer is "No, I really can not think of any other reason why CKD would ask why Cicero why he did not mention him in an apparent break down"Adel wrote:did you miss this part?Adel wrote:I have trouble understanding the motivation for ckd-town making that post, lit is like waving a sign saying "I'm lurking!".
I didnt notice that Cicero left Fonz off as well, or I might not had made the comment the way I did. I thought the post was a mini break down of Cicero's thoughts on everyone. I was curious where I stood on that list. I think it is important to get those thoughts in now, versus later. One of the things I am noticing in my games when I am NKed, is that my killer does not really mention me the day(s) before my kill. So when I see someone (who I feel is doing a mini break down of players) not mention me...small alarms sound.
Also, since I dont feel like I have been not been contributing, I was wondering why I was left out...so not only did I want to know what Cicero thought, I was curious why he left me out...I thought my comment would spur conversation on the subject.
I couldnt figure out why Cicero would do a mini break down, but not mention me...obviously he wasnt doing that...
also adel, I think you do play differently every game in regards to your agreesiveness. But being narrow minded is a new thing. I was curious how someone with your experience could only think of scum theories why I would ask Cicero that question, but not think of any town reasons to do so. I guess I over estimated your ability to look at things from different prespectives (noted for future).
DO you think you tunnel vision or bulldozer?NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

Adel, you forgot Mini 458(?) you pushed for my lynch all day, until the end you "changed your mind"..I was still lynched...I was town, you were scum.
for some reason when thinking about Adel I saw an intelligent woman who was open minded and openly reviewed all possibilites...if I had time I could reread those games to figure out why. But Adel is right....she did Dayvig a townie in house without thinking it through or even consulting the town, which contributed to a loss...she did ride Flay hard in Underground, when he was a townie....so yeah, she is known to tunnel vision, so apparently I am pulling that vision of Adel out of no where...
so I guess it isnt out of character for adel to only see the negative without reviewing all possibilities....
will respond to other post later with time.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

CKD/Jitsu +1?
oh wait, CKD argued with shafted a bit today, obvious distancing?
CKD/shafted +1?
You know, I havent really seen interaction between CKD and Oman today
CKD/Oman +1?
You know Adel, this could be a grand scheme between you and I
CKD/Adel +1?

I am posting to your ridiculous statements?

Now, I need to figure out if you are doing it because you are being you or if you are scum.
Jitsu, I am not discrediting Shanba's wagon...I have stated the same reason throughout the whole game as to my reasons of unvoting him...I am not letting him off of anything...my question of him still stands.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

bold is me
you have got to be kidding me with those points. Adel you know I post frequently. In house mafia (which you contributed to our loss, I guess that one was not in your last 5), Armlxscum tried to say that my posting style was a signal that I was fustrated scum and pushed a case...you should remember that...if you dont go check it out...check out Underground Mafia again that you were in..same posting style...check Small town Heroes..same deal.Adel wrote:ckd bailed off of the Shamba wagon once it hit -3. He was attempting to use his vote for Shanba as a tool to get Shanba to account for his Cicero unvote/Oman vote in post 96.
His stated reason for unvoting was that he didn't like the speed of the wagon (yet it only got to lynch -3) but in his unvote post he left himself an opening to revote Shanba if he didn't like Shanba's reason for unvoting cicero and voting for Oman.
Adel, this was not the only reason for the unvote, I have stated this NUMEROUS times, your failure to acknowledge this is now become scummy
I don't see a Shanba mis-lynch as being a legitimate worry. ckd's explanation, restated a few times, doesn't make sense to me. When I pressure someone for information I want more pressure. I welcome people onto the wagon. ckd did not have a case on anther player that he moved on to. Bailing out because there suddenly more pressure doesn't make sense, especially sence he didn't have a case on another player.
I didnt like the speed of the reason-lite votes that came on a player that wasnt here to respond. I am tired of fucking repeating myself. I didnt "bail" because there was more pressure (please quote where I said that). I dont just vote for the sake of voting. I dont just unvote for the sake of fucking unvoting. I no longer felt like it was where my vote wanted to be. HOWEVER, I wanted Shanba to know that I still expected him to answer my question.
Two scenarios would make sense:
1. ckd is scum w/ Shanba
2. ckd knows that Shanba is town
both are wrong
~~~
ckd pointed out that cicero left him out of a player breakdown. the interaction between cicero and ckd following that seems really scummy.
why?
the scumtell that I've left out up until now is that I believe scum are more interested in what other players think of them than townies are.
that is the biggest load of bullshit I have ever heard.
I also think that scum like to collect the opinions of other players in order to better formulate a safe opinion to have,
I asked Cicero his opinion on me, to form an opinion on myself? That doesnt even make sense.
and identify perspective wagon to follow through on. Billy's most recent post is a scumtell due to this, as is ckd trying to dig information out of cicero.
Tell me again, what information was I trying to dig out of Cicero?
the breakdown:
ckd-scum/cicero-town:ckd was trying to get information out of cicero, or trying to tie himself to cicero (simenon's point)
(see above) How is asking Cicero to state his opinion on me today = scum trying to dig for information to form opinions about others? I also dont understand how this = me tying myself to Cicero.
ckd-scum/cicero-scum:ckd was trying to distance from cicero, and pointing out a mistake of cicero's (leaving out his scumbuddy) before someone else caught it
So I am scum pointing out my scum buddies fault, thus thrusting us into the limelight?!?..keep stretching.
ckd-town/cicero-town:ckd is trying to get cicero on the record , since he is usually nk'd by people who neglect him in player breakdowns (ckd's defense, we're still waiting for evidence, which I doubt will be conclusive -- I totally don't buy it)
seems like you have already made a decision there...
ckd-town/cicero-scum:same as above.
Following my initial vote for ckd, his first line of defense is to say that I am not normally so close-minded. (265)
my defense? I thought state my defense came later?
Two minutes later he speculates if I would've said anything about cicreo leaving him out if he hadn't pointed it out. (266)
so?
265, 273, 274, are rhetorical attemts to control the dialog at this point. He wanted me to write his defense for him by listing reasons he could have a town motivation for his action. Once he gives up on this trick, he posts
why did he wait until this post to post his defense?curiouskarmadog in 288 wrote:

I was curious how someone with your experience could only think of scum theories why I would ask Cicero that question, but not think of any town reasons to do so. I guess I over estimated your ability to look at things from different prespectives (noted for future).
DO you think you tunnel vision or bulldozer?
Adel, you are not this ridiculous..I refuse to believe that you are this insane. I wanted to see if you really wanted us to believe that you could not come up with any town reason why I did that....
YOu continued to avoid the question. Even though you DID state that you didnt know why I did it (or why town would do it)...I just wanted to confirm that you truly lacked the skills to form those theories...when you confirmed that you just simply lacked the capacity to do so..I explained why I did it...
Note that here stumbles upon the next wave of his rhetorical defense: get Adel to argue that she is narrow-minded. Nice! I totally fell for it.
What? I made you agrue this? Oh fucking jesus. I think that I agreed with you multiple times...how did I make you argue this point? and lets play for second in Adel's make-believe land. Lets say I dubiously made you agure that you were narrow minded...how in fuck's sake does that make me scummy?
The framing of that (narrow minded) is far less than flattering. I approach scum hunting like I do a math or physics problem: I identify a promising or interesting approach and try to work it through. Sometimes that means eliminating a problematic variable via the lynch. It usually requires that I post with false confidence in order to get anywhere. On this side of the screen I am very agnostic about everyone's alignment. I see mafia as a random system that can only be narrowly tweaked. I usually have two or three closely competing theories for who is most likely to be scum as well as two or three closely competing theories for who could be a group of scum.
I put money down that if I do hang or am night killed tonight and flip town, she will be referencing this little post later.
I feel like ckd had accomplished a pretty neat feat by discrediting me (narrow-minded)
LOL, I agreed with you! You made me change my opinion of you
and seriously undermining the legitimacy of any case I may make in this game. I'm working too damn hard in this game to let that happen.
First of all I've won my last 5 games as town in a row, and 70% out of my last 10 games as town and 73% of my last 15 games as town. I survived in 3/11, and was nk'd or daykilled 6/11 and lynched twice for those wins.
]I can identify scum, and my technique for identifying them works. I am not narrow-minded, I am effective.
Wow, dont believe her? She will throw numbers at you. WHo cares what your stats as town are...do we know you are town here?
Currently my biggest tell against ckd is that he fits my profile of scum:
1. no active scumhunting
2. fake votes on an easy target as a placeholder for actual activity
3. rapid response to any any attack that relies upon shifting the focus and responding to questions with diverting questions. Note his numerous posts on tangents which are then followed up by "what is your point". It is much more pro-town to attempt to just settle the case against you. ckd attempts to obfuscate it via volume of posts and attacking my credibility.
I no longer think you are actively trying to scum hunt. I think you are trying to scrape together ANYTHING to form a case on me...you dont care if they make sense...or if it is ..or is warping facts...or are giant leaps in assumptions. I can not see anyone protown push this. You are conviently forgetting things that you should know. This is scummy
vote Adel
no doubt you will try to push that this is a scummy OMGUS vote...NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

So Adel, would a curse free reply make you answer my questions and address my points?
and I bolded as I replied (you know I didnt type out the tags). Again you are finding reasons to avoid questions and stretching for anything you can...
sad.
and you thought the Shanba wagon was weak, but you think I am scummy for unvoting off of it?NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

you have got to be kidding me with those points. Adel you know I post frequently. In house mafia (which you contributed to our loss, I guess that one was not in your last 5), Armlxscum tried to say that my posting style was a signal that I was fustrated scum and pushed a case...you should remember that...if you dont go check it out...check out Underground Mafia again that you were in..same posting style...check Small town Heroes..same deal.Adel wrote:ckd bailed off of the Shamba wagon once it hit -3. He was attempting to use his vote for Shanba as a tool to get Shanba to account for his Cicero unvote/Oman vote in post 96.
His stated reason for unvoting was that he didn't like the speed of the wagon (yet it only got to lynch -3) but in his unvote post he left himself an opening to revote Shanba if he didn't like Shanba's reason for unvoting cicero and voting for Oman.
Adel, this was not the only reason for the unvote, I have stated this NUMEROUS times, your failure to acknowledge this is now become scummy
I don't see a Shanba mis-lynch as being a legitimate worry. ckd's explanation, restated a few times, doesn't make sense to me. When I pressure someone for information I want more pressure. I welcome people onto the wagon. ckd did not have a case on anther player that he moved on to. Bailing out because there suddenly more pressure doesn't make sense, especially sence he didn't have a case on another player.
I didnt like the speed of the reason-lite votes that came on a player that wasnt here to respond. I am tired of freaking repeating myself. I didnt "bail" because there was more pressure (please quote where I said that). I dont just vote for the sake of voting. I dont just unvote for the sake of silly unvoting. I no longer felt like it was where my vote wanted to be. HOWEVER, I wanted Shanba to know that I still expected him to answer my question.
Two scenarios would make sense:
1. ckd is scum w/ Shanba
2. ckd knows that Shanba is town
both are wrong
~~~
ckd pointed out that cicero left him out of a player breakdown. the interaction between cicero and ckd following that seems really scummy.
why?
the scumtell that I've left out up until now is that I believe scum are more interested in what other players think of them than townies are.
that is the biggest load of bullpoopoo I have ever heard.
I also think that scum like to collect the opinions of other players in order to better formulate a safe opinion to have,
I asked Cicero his opinion on me, to form an opinion on myself? That doesnt even make sense.
and identify perspective wagon to follow through on. Billy's most recent post is a scumtell due to this, as is ckd trying to dig information out of cicero.
Tell me again, what information was I trying to dig out of Cicero?
the breakdown:
ckd-scum/cicero-town:ckd was trying to get information out of cicero, or trying to tie himself to cicero (simenon's point)
(see above) How is asking Cicero to state his opinion on me today = scum trying to dig for information to form opinions about others? I also dont understand how this = me tying myself to Cicero.
ckd-scum/cicero-scum:ckd was trying to distance from cicero, and pointing out a mistake of cicero's (leaving out his scumbuddy) before someone else caught it
So I am scum pointing out my scum buddies fault, thus thrusting us into the limelight?!?..keep stretching.
ckd-town/cicero-town:ckd is trying to get cicero on the record , since he is usually nk'd by people who neglect him in player breakdowns (ckd's defense, we're still waiting for evidence, which I doubt will be conclusive -- I totally don't buy it)
seems like you have already made a decision there...
ckd-town/cicero-scum:same as above.
Following my initial vote for ckd, his first line of defense is to say that I am not normally so close-minded. (265)
my defense? I thought state my defense came later?
Two minutes later he speculates if I would've said anything about cicreo leaving him out if he hadn't pointed it out. (266)
so?
265, 273, 274, are rhetorical attemts to control the dialog at this point. He wanted me to write his defense for him by listing reasons he could have a town motivation for his action. Once he gives up on this trick, he posts
why did he wait until this post to post his defense?curiouskarmadog in 288 wrote:
so the answer is "No, I really can not think of any other reason why CKD would ask why Cicero why he did not mention him in an apparent break down"Adel wrote:did you miss this part?Adel wrote:I have trouble understanding the motivation for ckd-town making that post, lit is like waving a sign saying "I'm lurking!".
I didnt notice that Cicero left Fonz off as well, or I might not had made the comment the way I did. I thought the post was a mini break down of Cicero's thoughts on everyone. I was curious where I stood on that list. I think it is important to get those thoughts in now, versus later. One of the things I am noticing in my games when I am NKed, is that my killer does not really mention me the day(s) before my kill. So when I see someone (who I feel is doing a mini break down of players) not mention me...small alarms sound.
Also, since I dont feel like I have been not been contributing, I was wondering why I was left out...so not only did I want to know what Cicero thought, I was curious why he left me out...I thought my comment would spur conversation on the subject.

this sounds really familiar..Adel, have we been in a game before together and you refused to answer my questions with your "Crystalline logic" (and if I recall right, it was logic then not logick) because you complained about the wall of words it would cause?...if I remember right, I kept pushing you, then you declared you thought I was town and if you answered my questions it might get me lynched.....I was new then and let it go...
I was still lynched that game, I was town, you were scum, lynched the next day.
Going to have to give that game another skim me thinks.
I dont care if you dont like my tone..this is mafia...Are you scared to answer my questions? If you really think I am scummy like you are pushing, dont you want to prove my scumminess to the best of your ability? You are pushing that I was scum for backing off the shanba BW, so are you not scummy for backing off YOUR case you are pushing? OR do you see that currently it is a lost cause, and will pick it back up when you have more of the town with you?
I think you should address this now..dont deflect or divert any more.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

we are in an advanced game here...I dont think anyone here (well maybe Oman) is afriad of reading through a "wall of words".

You know what, I will even meet you half way. One civil question at a time.
You are pushing that I am deliberating spamming this thread for scummy reasons. Adel, in all 3 games that we have shared (two most recent for everyone's reference: Underground mafia and House mafia) Havent I posted the same in regards to frequency and content length? When I get frustrated or "emotional", I tend to post frequently back to back. Please feel free to review those threads again before answering this question.
Follow up question:
Werent you in the game (House Mafia) that armlxscum tried to push that I was scum because of a.) my language and b.) for the frequency of my posts. (should be noted: that his angle was that I was emotional and only scum has reason to get emotional).NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

EDIT:
(should be noted: that his angle was that I was emotional and only scum has reason to get emotional....)....which is completely different than what Adel is implying.
My point is, that Adel was in that game and that was a major point in lynching armlx was for that silly point of his case.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

I doubt that you would significantly misrepresent that though, so I will cede the point-- I'm apparently making the same point against you that armix did in House mafia.
what exactly am I implying and misrepresenting? Funny how you pick and chose what to answer.curiouskarmadog wrote:EDIT:

Since Adel seems to have problems answer questions...I will address this to everyone.
"the scumtell that I've left out up until now is that I believe scum are more interested in what other players think of them than townies are."
I am interested in what other thinks of this. Do you agree with her? Do you think that she really believes this?NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

how do you scum hunt without asking question? I didnt know it could be a passive thing.Oman wrote:
Because this is an invitational, I feel no need to spout posts left and right. In fact, I'd much rather just watch you all and think to myself. I'm reading, and responding, but I am trying hard to change up the playstyle a bit, as you apparently did Adel, just to find something new and different.Adel wrote:@Oman: why have you made 20 posts in other threads since your last post in this game?
