It is still frustrating, namely if people play the 'tee hee' game. Regardless.
The Great Smoked Halibut is one of the gods of the food world. Did they not teach this lore to you when you were a wee sardine, my son?
mollie, Nacho ignores me too but I just sit and wait for him to return. You have to trust in him too. Like you trust in the Great Smoked Salmon. Though I do not deny that there is sometimes sadness when I am overlooked for a prettier

Iece, I totally understand.
ABR, I'm not surprised you don't know me (though I have been here for some time) and I'm not sure you and I have ever played a game together. The mollie/ABR discussion I found unfruitful besides seeing both of them playing somewhat off their games. mollie seems more defeatist and with less drive. I'm not sure what I expected from ABR, but this wasn't quite it, besides the hydra hate.
Iece is town.

This one. I had not read the flavor or game-thread prior to reading my Role PM, so I was also thrown off. I imagine it was for similar reasons.
The rest of your posts solidified the read, since you were explaining both ABR/mollie's meta as it was, and who zwet was. And you asked why I thought you were town/scum. Holding me accountable for my reads, etc.

Forgive me, I spoke without charity. I found it annoying in the darkness I allowed myself to fall into. I will strive to let it bother me less.
Mortify the heart.
But to answer your perhaps rhetorical questions:
1) It bothers me because I do not know who, in a hydra, is posting. And because I assume it is done to irritate people.
2) No, because I would know who made the post. Barring difficulties.
3) No.
Again, forgive me, if you may. I spoke without charity and felt without love.
I will give Peregrine time because, while at this moment I cannot remember where, I do remember him as being a decent scummer who should come around.
Iece entered the game as I entered the game, and was not afraid to say he was confused by the flavor (Food). It is not necessarily that explaining things is town-aligned (someone, forgive me that I cannot remember who, correctly stated that helpfulness is not alignment-discerning in and of itself) but I see his play as coming forward from that point as being solidly town.
Ah, welcome FourTrouble.

That may not be something I can help, sir.
"Underwhelming presence" is not weak or bad reasoning. Certain players have prescence, like meta. Fate, would not be Fate if he were not yelling and, as Nacho said in his GKTAS, leading the town with a messiah-like complex. Does that make sense? It is similar to meta, but different in that it means the actual prescence in a game. Your previous votes were a vote, a refusal to explain said vote, two town-read, and a question. Besides this post, you have provided us two town-reads, and a scum-read with no explanation. That does not offer much prescence. I am glad to see you return, even if it there was more stick than carrot, so to speak.
Regardless, my vote will stay because I find it odd (or perhaps circumstantial) that you return after I vote you and explain this vote (one may put forth an case that this is OMGUS) whereas you refused to provide reasoning for your first vote. I understand that you are V/LA, and await more reads/content to the game. I do find it odd that the first vote/read you explain is mine, only after I voted you. I await being able to discern more of your motivations, sir.

Nothing was gained for the town by the lies spewed forth from boredom, even in the name of 'reaction testing'.
Its one thing to say
Daykill: Iecerint
in a game that is clearly flavor-heavy and have no indication that it is coming. There was no presence, nothing to work with. Nothing but the clear boredom. If anything, the case could be made that you are scum simply falling to easily to the 'hi daycop here XXX and YYY are guilty', believing it, and then lynching fakeclaimer the next day. Granted, that is what you did with the 'make it clear that if ABR flips town you die'.
I digress. It is another thing entirely to say
Curse: Iecerint
in a game that is clearly flavor-heavy and with the curser having dropped off-color 'Olde Foode God' things like a crazy druid.
Does that make sense? A lie that everyone believes is still a lie.
Besides, the notion of a 2-shot Suicidal DayCop is utterly laughable.
tl;dr
Pine only wasted our time. Iece's reaction was suspect. There are not enough people here. I am not supposed to be here.

1. It is only possible for scum to believe it if ABR is in fact scum.
Not true.
Fakeclaiming Townie claims Cop and fakes a Guilty on another townie. Scum obviously go along with it, as its a free lynch. Townie dies.
Next day, they lynch the Fakeclaiming Townie who lied. Townie dead.
Two lynches under their belts with little to no work involved besides a 'Follow the Cop' routine, which, if the claim is credible and believeable, all player would be right to do. Town would not go against a credible investigation, and scum would do likewise (barring gambits!) merely to appear town.
That's my argument - that scum would instantly jump on a fake guilty on town because it nets them townpoints, lets them blend in with the mass of Follow the Cop, and then that would set up them for a free lynch, as the town would (rightfully so) pursue the fakeclaiming townie.
Iece wrote:
2. There is no utility to setting up the lynch chain on Pine if ABR is in fact scum.
If scum would have died to the fakeclaim then of course there would be no follow-up. My argument is that scum would play 'Follow the Cop' because it would net them two town lynches off a townie's mistake and avoid most all responsibility for it themselves.

Would this be something he does as scum - bussing a buddy D1 without reasoning?

If/when Fourtrouble flips scum, remind me to re-evaluate farside.
Peregrine has listed 5 no comment reads, not including myself. The only scum-read I'm getting from him is a weak pine scumread. Hasn't done much to assuage my doubts.
Am willing to move to ABR, though I think FourTrouble is more likely scum.

Nacho hasn't quite been involved as he usually is (holiday season aside, of course) and I do miss leading heroic charges of townblocs with him, but he's on the list because he's generally seen as town, even if he hasn't been around in the past week to 'figure players out'. So he's there for comparative reasons!

Okay.
Farside is equating 'figuring players out' with being town.
I am, to her, not doing that and am thus not figuring players out.
I put FourTrouble on the list because he doesn't seem to post often nor be particularly interested in anyone but me, so he's also not seemingly 'figuring players out'. Which would also implicate him as scum, according to her logic.
Thus Nacho is there. He, who most of us (myself included!) see as town, has not been around as much as we may like, thus he is also not 'figuring players out'. Does that make him scum as well?

I'm glad we understand another. The tell comes from Storm of Swords Mafia, where Mikujin, some pages into the game, said he had no scum-reads. I found it highly suspect and single-handedly defined my read on him. You shouldn't get this far into a game without scumreads. (Granted, when I replaced in he was already dead by the time I arrived).
Farside, from reading FourTrouble's 25 posts and ignoring the first one since he didn't explain how serious of a vote his RVS-stage vote was, he has (apparently) the following reads:
ABR Town
Iece Town
Andy Scum
SG Town
far Town
5/12 is not sufficient this far in. He also has one scumread. Granted, he did ask you why you thought Who was town, implying of course he is either in disagreement with you or merely curious.
But don't tell me that that is 'figuring people out'. At most, he is figuring one person out. Me. Who voted him right before he voted me.
ABR has not gone unnoticed. Iece was merely a departure from his trend and ABR continues to be trying and perplexing.

Please explain how you got from having five reads to narrowing Victor down by 'process of elimination'.

Futhermore, I do not think that Victor should be the lynch today with ABR and FourTrouble around. ABR, do you not think I am scum? FourTrouble? I see the reasoning for lynching Victor, don't get me wrong, and it makes complete sense to do so if we have no other options or we are AT deadline. The fact that a number of people posted in the last two hours attests that people are here and people should be able to arrive at a lynch. We are not at deadline. We are approaching deadline.
FourTrouble abandoning their only scumread (me) and ABR abandoning one of his (!) are suspect.
If FourTrouble and ABR actually think that I am scum they, as town, should hold out and actually try and vote scum and return to Victor, who has been absent for reasons (I believe he said he was sick?), only at deadline.

But he didn't push his 'stronger scumreads' (me) and went for Victor. Why?
Town motivation for that is absent. Deadline is not sufficient as we still have plenty of time. And he has made no indication that his read on me has changed.
Scum motivation is clear - he would be going for an easier wagon and potentially taking some heat off of himself.

You said three days ago (from ISO, 1/8) that you would replace out if you did not catch up.
If you cannot give the game its proper due, let someone else try to give it its proper due.
Life/death/sickness is more important than the game. We should all respect a player leaving for good reasons.

I found this in the re-read.
ABR brings up the Victor wagon four days before deadline (maybe three, I forget exactly). I've been trying to parse out his motivation for doing so.
Town Motivation: To Lynch or at least Pressure a Lurker? We were not at deadline yet, so it was not a deadline lynch suggestion.
Scum Motivation: Lynch a town-sided lurker at deadline, switching off major wagons? Potentially drawing attention from a buddy?
I just find it odd that people in this game are so willing to drop major scumreads to go pursue lynching a lurker with a good deal of time before deadline left to push their wagon of choice.

You're not making logical sense.
You have presented no definite proof that he IS scum, so you're voting him because you think he MAY BE scum. You cannot know for certain. Unless of course you ARE scum and thus know who the scum are. Does that make sense?
At this point we should all be voting who we believe is most likely scum, because we (read: members of the un-informed majority (town)) cannot know who is scum.
All I am getting from you is 'please don't lynch me' with little town-motivation for your actions.
predit: Will address Victor soon.

Victor,
I did read, and see them. I wasn't saying you didn't have any, and I apologize for not being clear. In the interest of time it might be best not to WALLPOST and just get a list of reads out there. From what I've seen you dont Magna/Andy WALLQUOTEBLOC post, so that won't be a problem but I'd rather see a list of reads than links/quotes. I'm also attempting to change my posting pattern to be more clean. I did not mean to be rude, was just trying to get at the important thing (reads) in the limited time we have. Does that make sense?

A lie that everyone believes is still a lie.
No? I try not to, that is. Granted, there have been some great plays from lies/gambits, but Pine's I fought bitterly because it was shallow and poorly prepared. Does that make sense? Its all about delivery.
Victor wrote:Is there a town benefit to your actions I'm missing?
Cutting out the bullcrap from a poorly-prepared gambit. I don't mean to be rude, Pine, but I imagine that a claim that outlandish would need to be better prepared to fly.
If I thought we could actually use it, I might have let it sit. Claim's too preposterous to believe, especially with ShadowDancer.
That'd be like someone claiming a Sane Cop in a hitogoroshi game. The man made a wall about how bad Cops are in games in MD back when I was here last.
Perhaps I've become a bit more of a stick in the mud since I left.

Yes, but I don't see random votes here. I see people (like myself) voting who we think is most likely scum, even if that person is you (or me in your case).

There was actually a pretty long time-lag between it starting and Andy doing that FWIW. People seemed to totally avoid the thread. I felt like ABR and I were the only ones here. But it was around New Year's IIRC.
This is accurate. Pine, Iece, ABR, and I were posting. And all of our reactions are accounted for.

He's not a DayCop. That claim was untruthful.

I don't get the encryption.
The only innocents are bodies.
Titus is scummy for not not reading the thread - if she actually read she would know that the daycop was fake. Also not providing reads. No Lynch is a horrible idea.

In post 530, Titus wrote:What does it mean to be a suicidal day cop? Is that a desperado?
Iece linked Titus to Page 12.
Titus read at least the one post on Page 12 to get the claim.
On Page 13 Pine rescinds his claim.
Therefore, Titus did not read to Page 13.

This was beautiful. Anywho,
I will be following Nacho until he decides I am to be lynched.
And 'Food the Tracker' is not a role name. I'm sorry, but I don't even need to consult my Role PM to know that that's not how that works.
For the record, I don't think my question to mollie ever got answered, but whatever. I don't see a particular need to have claimed when they did. I mean, it makes sense as a role in this game, but I don't see the motivation.
I don't see the exchange with Nacho as particularly town. The claim was off, and Nacho has it right - if she had called on him (or me for that matter - Xenogears) she'd be all over us for noticing the difference in meta.
In post 903, Nachomamma8 wrote:So, there you go! Scum motivation!
What's the town motivation, exactly?
You thought he was a VT? I didn't expect that.
From his early troll-ish behavior and the gambit I thought it was likely he was either scum feigning it to maintain a persona or a town special who knew he could get away with it because he had a claim up his sleeve. Either would have been a beneficial outcome. We could either catch him as scum making the kill or possibly confirm what he did later in the game if he were a special. It seemed like a higher payoff than just following a lurker.
I also got town VT from that, for the record. >______>
