what are we confirming?
Why does my last post feel ignored? (re-posting for convenience)
I want explanations from lowellDanchaofan wrote:Maybe I have a slightly more fundamental issue. What's wrong with going after easy targets? i.e. if someone outright states they are mafia, are they an easy target? Should you vote for them? (assuming nothing crazy like suicide roles.)
anyone care to explain the wifom of charter?
BSG makes a good point of artem wanting to vote but not because he thinks he would be hypocritical.-

oo I have been focused a bit on artem... I have some scum vibes; I'm trying to decipher why. Meanwhile, other people, please respond to questions, comments made toward you:
is this wifom:BSG wrote:And no, Charter's vote wasn't WIFOM. You made it WIFOM in your own mind. I can see two reasons why Charter would put me at L-2. And none of those reasons includes WIFOM. I'm waiting for him to tell his reason. From that I'll look if it was scummy or not.Artifex wrote:Isnt the WIFOM in question that Panzer said it was scummy to put someone at L-2, then Charter immediately did it as a response to what Panzer said...no scum would open themselves up to scrutiny like that. Or would they, knowing we'd all think that? Or *switching wine, switching wine*
I think it's okay to vote the person you are most suspicious of regardless of whether you want to see them lynched (yet).Panzerjager wrote:@Everyone asking Artem why he didn't vote: Thats what an FoS is. A public statement expressing that you feel someone is suspicious but not sure that they are actually scum. After the random voting stage, you should only vote someone you intend to lynch.
I await Lowell's memory
Lynx/panzer wasn't there something about the distinction of l-2 being it's claim time?
(posts bigger than avatars give me goose bumps, posts that don't fit on my screen scare me :< )-

Pz's post was in response to my question about whether l-2 is possibly distinguishable because it was generally claim time, not about whether BSG should be claiming.Master Ruck wrote:But as BSG said (and lynx directly before him who may have given him the idea) he has nothing to worry about thus no need to claim as all the votes on him are random or "let's see what happens" votes.
Artem, (b) is Wifom?
Lowell, what do you think of artem/BSGs banter? Is it insignificant because there was no distancing associated with it?-

ATM, I find artem the most scummy. You never satisfactorily answered what is wrong with pouncing on easy targets. Sure there are opportunistic scum, but there are also people who, for good reasons, seem scum.
I never fully read this post:
So 1) you dodge the issue of acknowledging you wanted to vote for charter but didn't because it would come across as scummy 2) You create a scum team of BSG and charter for really bad reasons. 3) BSG, scum? only if you like omgusArtem wrote:What Idofind interesting is that you're so concerned with whether I voted or FoSed somebody, while completely disregarding my given reasons. You said that you don't see the WIFOM. It was pointed out to you. Yet you seem adamant about your opinion of charter putting you at L-2.
I can FoS charter. I can also vote for him. It doesn't make much difference right now as there is no bandwagon on him. I'm not pouncing on an easy target. I'm giving him a slap on the wrist, because townies (assuming he is one) shouldn't play with WIFOM as it distracts and confuses the town.
The fact that you're pouncing on me, while disregarding my arguments against charter tells me that you're really not so worried about the bandwagon on yourself. Why would that be? (One scenario may be that charter (or somebody else on your wagon for that matter) is/are (one of) your buddy(-ies), so you know that they may unvote you at any point to prevent a lynch of you.)
You really like to throw around the wifom accusations but
is wifrom.Artem wrote:(b) If I voted for my buddy to distance myself from them, why would I unvote them when they were not in any danger, especially since I didn't vote for anybody else?-

I think I might be getting caught up into a semantics argument. I'm assuming someone is easy if they are doing scummy things. Thus, I equated lynching the easy target to lynching the scummy target. The most blatant example of something scummy one could do was to claim scum so I gave that as an example.charter wrote:
Going after easy targets is scum tactics. Town goes after scum, not whoever they can lynch easiest. For me, it depends on how someone claims mafia (though it doesn't occur frequently enough to worry about) before I decide whether to vote them, but many players have policies of voting anyone claiming mafia.dan wrote:Maybe I have a slightly more fundamental issue.

night and school = day time of the US = I miss out on a lot of action... sorry
It's wifom because it's a distancing maneuver (scummy) yet your argument is it's so pointless that mafia would never do it.Artem wrote:Sure, it's WIFOM if you think that I (as scum) would do something pointless, just for the whole sake of later claiming that it was pointless for scum to do that.

Darrox: Any mention of how the event actions get carried out with your role?
And AFTER that, can anyone who has ever considered using such a role or seen such a role know if the event action would be given in the role pm of a mini-normal, or could give a rough idea of how likely such a role is to appear in a mini-normal.
I think Lynx defended himself well. I don't think he should be a priority today. I do want your opinions on by the end of the day.
Alvinz, I also want your opinions on artem. I think those two (alvinz and Darrox) are the only two to not have posted anything on artem. Correct me if I'm wrong.-

I don't like Xdaamno's vote, or his response to being questioned to the reason to his vote. Please pay more attention.
I don't like Master Ruck's vote/unvote- it seems scum hopping on a wagon and then being forced off after conceding his reasons sucked.
I don't these two are necessarily targets for today.
Vanilla townie claims means I have no problem carrying forth with a lynch (after darrox and alvinz post opinions) or unless artem can convince me my reasons to vote are bad.-

I'm less suspicious of artem now, he defended himself, against my points at least, rather nicely. I still have a problem with.
His original attack is not wifom, it's your response that is wifom. His point is still valid, your response (because of wifom) is invalid.Artem wrote:
Yet, I am asking Lowell to explain why his argument point has good motivation for scum. WIFOM was not his original point of attack. Buddying/distancing was and I'm asking him to explain why it makes sense for scum to play as I did.Danchaofan wrote:

I would still like to hear from Lowell why he thinks his reason (b) has good motivation for scum.
(This isn't a retort but I think I should point out) Your reason for voting for artifex was part joking, thus you can see cases where doing what artifex was doing isn't scummy? If thats the case, voting charter would not have made you scummy as it is not hypocritical because you don't actually believe in your first statement?Artem wrote:
While I "dodged" the point here, I've addressed it in my post that followed. (See my post #8)Dan wrote:dan wrote:So 1) you dodge the issue of acknowledging you wanted to vote for charter but didn't because it would come across as scummyArtem wrote:

There's just no pleasing the penguin, so I think I'll stand my ground with the FoS.
Ok I read your tones wrong and I read the quote "My imagination runs wild sometimes." to mean something different. I think under current light it isn't scummy at all.Artem wrote:

Notice how I didn't FoS/vote any players that I conjured up a scenario about. It was purely hypothetical situation that I didn't pursue seriously in the slightest.Artem wrote:

Lynx is being accused of making 180s in his opinions. Darrox is accusing of Lynx of saying the charter vote is suspicious to not suspicious to suspicious etc. He's also accusing Lynx of stepping up for BSG then downplaying his stepping up for BSG then going back to saying that stepping up for BSG was a good thing.Artem wrote:This argument against Lynx seems overly convoluted.
I'm of the opinion that the first argument is rather crappy because from my perspective, Lynx has maintained the same position all throughout. A vote is okay L-2 at random for pressure. It's bad because of the wifom induced by the pink kitty. The second argument is a bit more incriminating however, I don't think it's vote worthy. Darrox, do you have any opinions on other players?-

I can imagine myself trying to do some hardcore scumhunting... and failing miserably. lol.
As a newbie, I'm wondering how this situation is resolved: Panzer accuses charter and artem as possible buddies for some reason that I've forgotten. Charter later votes artem. Panzer calls bussing as a possibility. However, if charter hadn't voted panzer might use this as evidence that they are buddies and charter doesn't want to kill his partner. The second situation is purely hypothetical and might not even work as an actual accusation however what I'm really getting at is if a person is stuck between two possibly incriminating choices, a) how would you decide? b) what do you make of someone who pushes the fact that the choice you made is scummy (when the other possibility is equally scummy)?

We're currently at no-lynch by "05] DEADLINE LYNCH RULES: As the At deadline, a person will be lynched if they have a majority of voters voting for them. That means you can be lynched with just one vote if only one person is voting. If no one has a majority of the votes cast, it is a no-lynch." So within the next 24 hours I'd rather we loose he artem/darox votes and if your suspicious of pz or xd, put a vote on them (although maybe not xd just yet because I'm not inclined to see a premature self-hammer). I will post in more substance a bit later.-

Also, from another game, I'm coming to the conclusion that D1 speculation on scum pairs is rather pointless. The possibility of masons, sks, multiple families and varying scum team size due to varying amount of power of town roles throws a wrench into the whole business so I honestly think we should wait a night (or at least until twilight) and not distract ourselves.-

Alright, finished a first read and here are some thoughts:
1) Aside from someone seriously dropping some scum tells, because of deadline I think everyone should be go to xda or panz for a D1 wagon (honestly I'm starting to have some doubts in scum-xda but I don't think we have time). i.e. to those who haven't voted or strongly expressed an opinion, stop fence-sitting =)
2) Reading the thread Panz has been posting scum pairs which lately I've been weary of (although I'm getting it more from a game that had a 2-week dl (and 1 week for every following day) so distracting things like scum pairs when one doesn't have a clue as to what the set-up is (i.e. d1) was distracting and probably more anti-town than in our situation). I'm not too sure about some of the other points made about panz i.e. calling l-2 scummy, the role-fishing, I'm still debating which side is stronger regarding the whole "artem has sufficiently defended" (clearly, I admitted that artem came off less scummy, so, I think it is possible for someone else to admit that artem is less scummy given the same posts, however I need to refresh my memory as to whether or not panz's points against artem were similar to mine or not.)
3) Xda is coming of a bit more town-ish... but, xda willing to self-hammer and then switching wagons is way more survivor-esque as opposed to town-esque imo. It seems as tho xda's saying don't vote more I'll self hammer and end the day (and it's working because artifex voiced disinterest but is avoiding voting) and then pushes the wagon (that charter initially thought was a vibe and one of xda's semi-major reasons seems to be to save himself). The lack of pbpa or panz case or general comment before he had to start defending himself means I'd rather not have this townie around close to end game. Or maybe we could [jokingly]beg scum to kill xda if we happen to lynch panz. I mean seriously wouldn't you want to have a whole bunch of active people and people who DON'T just post to defend themselves and who WON'T accidentally hammer people to save yourself from dirtying your hands around in end-game[/jokingly]-

It's like saying ooo the pacific ocean got smaller but this puddle seems to be getting a bit bigger. Now, should I vote for the puddle as the biggest body of of water in the world? (a bit exaggerated but seriously...)charter wrote:I think it's Panzer and dan. I don't think Xdaamo is scum anymore. I got all excited about his mishammer and got carried away.
I add dan to my list because of his earlier ties to Panzer and his most recent post, saying he finds Xdaamo more town and Panzer more scum but doesn't change his vote.
So xda has been pulling 180s on his survivor list and his principles so that he can attack more people? [sarcasm]That's not scummy[/sarcasm]-

sorry, I've only been responding in a newbie I'm in because I'm mostly just defending myself from one guy which takes relatively little time.
I think we have a bit more time until deadline because artifex is being replaced and it's past midnight where I am so I'm going to bed and posting more tomorrow. Sory =/-

I was only able to look at Lowell since my last post. Post numbers are of when their posts are viewed in isolation, after re-reading I got a general idea of who I thought was scum and went back to look at them more closely. I'm going to look at others as well later. Sorry, I wasn't able to post earlier today. This was my first chance since day-start to get on the comp. I'll respond to charter later.
lowell
His posts generally lack content and seem to be made up on the go. This indicates he doesn't really care about the lynching so long as lynching occurs. When called upon he does make attempts to justify, though these posts seem to be made as searching for justification after the statements have been made rather than having a justification before the statements are made. It's a backwards form of logic if you will that scum are more inclined to do then town. Scum arbitrarily pick someone to portray as scummy and go back to look for reasons as to why they are scummy. Town, on the other hand, notice something as scummy and conclude that that person is more likely to be scum.
This can be seen early on in lowell's posts
Following this he saysLowell wrote:I like artifex or artem more as scum more than BSG right now. Lynx looks town.
and then "remembers"Lowell wrote:@panzer, I dont' really remember why I said that right now. My brain stopped working when the site crashed, TBH.
No doubt there's a great reason, though. I'll figure it out.
It's unlikely you could "forget" this reason. Ergo, Lowell must have come up with this logic following being called out on making the accusations. This indicates the backwards scummy way of reasoning.Lowell wrote:Okay here's how the first 2 pages look to me.
9-11- the banter between artem and artifex makes me uneasy
30- charter's post is strange, he chides panzer, then votes with him
33- artem gives a speech about "how many votes is scummy" then unvotes artifex [what was the point?], then only FOSs charter [??]
35- BSG hits it RIGHT ON THE NOSE
38-40- more uncomfortable banter from artem and artifex
What I don't like is (a) the banter betweenartemandartifex, which seems to keep happening, and (b) the odd vote/unvote by artem on artifex. It's like he voted for artifex to set up a lecture about the nature of votes, then unvoted, only to FOS someone he said he was actually suspicious of. It looks like he was throwing a token "distancing" vote to a scumbuddy early, then just flimsily moving somewhere else. There's so much buddying here that I think at least one of them is scum.
Generally, I just think they're lazy as well. BSG was the random choice for a few votes at the beginning. Then, somehow, it became something one had toexplainwhen they weren't voting for BSG. I think they're happy letting the initial pressure dictate what happens, which itself is very scummy.
BSGhas handled the pressure well, I think. Post 35 is exactly on the money and he seems to be payign attention genearlly.LynxI just think is town because he's active and not trying to kiss ass.
One more. Despitecharter's strange post 30, I think he's town as well. I like the fact that he's willing to take BSG up to L-2 just to see what happens. That strikes me as gutsy, and townish.
Posting justification after being called out is also scummy. As town, when you see something scummy, you should either pressure vote or vote to lynch. If you wish to lynch, others must clearly join your vote. If you don't post a reason then you're are either relying on someone else's arguments (which is just puppy-dogging and scummy) or making a false pretense as to desire a lynch but not actually go after a lynch. This whole pretending to want to lynch but not wanting to lynch is also scummy.
The next lowell "post" is 6 where he seems to add a lot of content and show some insight. Oh wait, he just summarized all of the claims, fos's and requests for claims, and then jumps on the xd wagon and fos's artem. It's also interesting that he calls out artem for "a case made in hindsight." Hipocrasy and needless to say, scummy.
Post 27 is another content-less "content" post. At least you added some annotations in there instead of just summarizing votes for us.
Also interesting to note, aside from voting pz, every other person you attack seems to have attacked you in some way before you attacked them. OMGUS anyone?
Role-fish, plus, what makes Charter such the expert? Why puppy dog to him? What case do you have against me?Lowell wrote:charter wrote:vote danAnyone want to fess up to that second kill?
Case on dan soon.vote dan
Shameless bandwaggoning. charter says "jump" I say "how high?"
Also, someone killed lynx? Why?
Assuming 3 scum, there is a 1/8 chance of being killed. Is that really high? While saying you "don't really know what to make of it" you seed the idea that tubby isn't playing correctly and allow the possibility that tubby might be some kind of sk or 3rd party to eventually be lynched.Lowell wrote:
This is a strange response. In minis, most one-shot vigs I've seen (myself included) use their kill on N1, since the odds of dying either N1 or D2 are so high.tubby216 wrote:i only have one shot, i diddn't want to burn it with nothing to go on
Whatever. I don't know what to make of it, if anything.
I'm going to look back at pz-lowell interactions to see if there is anything to add.-

Half of your argument so far has been me "buddying" with pz (which we haven't). So, the simplest way to refute your argument is to indicate we haven't been buddying.charter wrote:
I find this a wierd way of defending. Saying they haven't buddied, gives me the impression that they are scum together but Panzer didn't think they had buddied (I don't think they had either, I think they were distancing). I think this is a pretty strong link right here.panzer 479 wrote:Your accusing Dan and I of being scum when we haven't buddyed at all.-

Your response in the past has simply been to lurk more and I'm sure that you haven't responded to the stuff you've done today.Lowell wrote:771 and 772 have convinced me, if I werent' already voting.
771 is pretty self-explanatory, and 772 is the same stuff I've seen all game. I've explained what I can from that.
I've only looked at lowell's posts in isolation so I missed your fish, but yes I do think it's scummy. It's also awkward how you are defending lowell, what makes you think he is worth defending? what makes you think you're so town that whatever you do is deemed so townie that if anyone else were to do it we would consider it townies as well?charter wrote:Dan, I asked if anyone was responsible for the second kill too. Are you saying that makes me rolefishing scum too? If so, try again.
I would add 774 to reasons to be suspicious of dan. I found neither of these "fishings" as scummy in the least. I was actually suprised I wasn't asked who I hid behind earlier.
You seem to be a reasonably capable player, so if you are hider, and given you have the benefit of knowing who you hid behind, I think you should be able to decide when to reveal and the decision should not be left in the hands of a relatively uninformed townie/scum looking to plot nks.-

More puppies pleaseMaster Ruck wrote:Yes, I would act differently. I would...actually, yeah, do just what Lowell did. Ignore it completely and go back to scum hunting. By acting as overly defensive as you are now would only serve to make the claim more true and single me out as scum.
Charter, top 2 suspicions. I'm probably going to agree with you with Freeko and Dan, but I'm also gonna be keeping an eye on Darox as I'm still keeping that PGO claim in mind and the only thing he's said all day is to ask you who you hid behind.
I don't mind a mass claim although roughly half the game has claimed already.-

He pulled out a quote of me questioning his logic and says I'm buddies with pz because of it. How is it obvious that I am scum because I question his train of logic?Darox wrote:

Your post looks generic and thrown together in two seconds so bite me. I also voted him for his lack of content, suspicions were confirmed by his self-preservative attitude, threat of a self-hammer, and some other things that I'm too lazy to re-read now.Darox wrote:

The degree to which our perceptions changed were different. He moved his vote to who he thought became the most suspicious person, I kept mine on who I felt was still the most suspicious person. Comparing myself to Charter is relevant because he is holding me to a double standard and calling me scummy for doing something very similar to what he did. 398 I point out why I was becoming more suspicious of pz. xd was part vibe part me falling out of the game and not reading deeply into his end of day behavior.Darox wrote:
The difference between Charters actions and yours (Talking about positions on Xd and Panzer) is Charter did something about it and provided reasons. Trying to shrug off the accusation of back-pedalling by accusing charter of it too is not only again trying to distract from you and the points against you, but also really not applicable because what Charter did and what you did really aren't in the same league.Danchaofan wrote:

@MR: Why I want to lynch lowell. Lowell has yet to respond and charter has done a good deal of deflection.Danchaofan wrote:I was only able to look at Lowell since my last post. Post numbers are of when their posts are viewed in isolation, after re-reading I got a general idea of who I thought was scum and went back to look at them more closely. I'm going to look at others as well later. Sorry, I wasn't able to post earlier today. This was my first chance since day-start to get on the comp. I'll respond to charter later.
lowell
His posts generally lack content and seem to be made up on the go. This indicates he doesn't really care about the lynching so long as lynching occurs. When called upon he does make attempts to justify, though these posts seem to be made as searching for justification after the statements have been made rather than having a justification before the statements are made. It's a backwards form of logic if you will that scum are more inclined to do then town. Scum arbitrarily pick someone to portray as scummy and go back to look for reasons as to why they are scummy. Town, on the other hand, notice something as scummy and conclude that that person is more likely to be scum.
This can be seen early on in lowell's posts
Following this he saysLowell wrote:I like artifex or artem more as scum more than BSG right now. Lynx looks town.
and then "remembers"Lowell wrote:@panzer, I dont' really remember why I said that right now. My brain stopped working when the site crashed, TBH.
No doubt there's a great reason, though. I'll figure it out.
It's unlikely you could "forget" this reason. Ergo, Lowell must have come up with this logic following being called out on making the accusations. This indicates the backwards scummy way of reasoning.Lowell wrote:Okay here's how the first 2 pages look to me.
9-11- the banter between artem and artifex makes me uneasy
30- charter's post is strange, he chides panzer, then votes with him
33- artem gives a speech about "how many votes is scummy" then unvotes artifex [what was the point?], then only FOSs charter [??]
35- BSG hits it RIGHT ON THE NOSE
38-40- more uncomfortable banter from artem and artifex
What I don't like is (a) the banter betweenartemandartifex, which seems to keep happening, and (b) the odd vote/unvote by artem on artifex. It's like he voted for artifex to set up a lecture about the nature of votes, then unvoted, only to FOS someone he said he was actually suspicious of. It looks like he was throwing a token "distancing" vote to a scumbuddy early, then just flimsily moving somewhere else. There's so much buddying here that I think at least one of them is scum.
Generally, I just think they're lazy as well. BSG was the random choice for a few votes at the beginning. Then, somehow, it became something one had toexplainwhen they weren't voting for BSG. I think they're happy letting the initial pressure dictate what happens, which itself is very scummy.
BSGhas handled the pressure well, I think. Post 35 is exactly on the money and he seems to be payign attention genearlly.LynxI just think is town because he's active and not trying to kiss ass.
One more. Despitecharter's strange post 30, I think he's town as well. I like the fact that he's willing to take BSG up to L-2 just to see what happens. That strikes me as gutsy, and townish.
Posting justification after being called out is also scummy. As town, when you see something scummy, you should either pressure vote or vote to lynch. If you wish to lynch, others must clearly join your vote. If you don't post a reason then you're are either relying on someone else's arguments (which is just puppy-dogging and scummy) or making a false pretense as to desire a lynch but not actually go after a lynch. This whole pretending to want to lynch but not wanting to lynch is also scummy.
The next lowell "post" is 6 where he seems to add a lot of content and show some insight. Oh wait, he just summarized all of the claims, fos's and requests for claims, and then jumps on the xd wagon and fos's artem. It's also interesting that he calls out artem for "a case made in hindsight." Hipocrasy and needless to say, scummy.
Post 27 is another content-less "content" post. At least you added some annotations in there instead of just summarizing votes for us.
Also interesting to note, aside from voting pz, every other person you attack seems to have attacked you in some way before you attacked them. OMGUS anyone?
Role-fish, plus, what makes Charter such the expert? Why puppy dog to him? What case do you have against me?Lowell wrote:charter wrote:vote danAnyone want to fess up to that second kill?
Case on dan soon.vote dan
Shameless bandwaggoning. charter says "jump" I say "how high?"
Also, someone killed lynx? Why?
Assuming 3 scum, there is a 1/8 chance of being killed. Is that really high? While saying you "don't really know what to make of it" you seed the idea that tubby isn't playing correctly and allow the possibility that tubby might be some kind of sk or 3rd party to eventually be lynched.Lowell wrote:
This is a strange response. In minis, most one-shot vigs I've seen (myself included) use their kill on N1, since the odds of dying either N1 or D2 are so high.tubby216 wrote:i only have one shot, i diddn't want to burn it with nothing to go on
Whatever. I don't know what to make of it, if anything.
I'm going to look back at pz-lowell interactions to see if there is anything to add.-

sorry tubby, I did but forgot to post it, pretty much no comments on pz for the game, jumps on the pz wagon at l-2, and 699 looks somewhat like de-railment. Also interesting is his post 6
Interactions read scum, null-tell at best.Lowell wrote:As well, I'm leaning town forartifexandpanzer, but both of those are more gut feelings than anything else.
I just finished a game where a joat watcher+vig but claimed joat tracker+vig and turned up town. In a mis-claim like this I would tend null-tell/town-tell.-

SK cross kills could become problematic but it might work.charter wrote:
I dunno, I wouldn't recommend this. Bussing day one normally doesn't pay off. If there actually is a PGO in the game, and you're countered, it would be hilarious, but the town will have no problem lynching both them. What if you have one scum claim PGO, then have another counterclaim it day one? One will get lynched, but the other might be very believable then.Danchaofan wrote:If I'm scum in a 3-man again I'm full out bussing my partner day 1 and have my other partner claim pgo...
