Vote: Dutch One
So KK doesn't need to find a replacement D1.

DGB, I want you to claim. I don't care if it's real or fake, your claims are fantastic and often game-changing, and I don't want you to be NK'd before you have the chance to turn this game on its head.

If you're bored, read this game with a focus on DGB. It's worth the time. I have, on more than one occasion, joined a game primarily to see what the heck DGB's gonna pull in it.

That said, I'm getting a gut read as well.

Is this a joke or what is going on here I don't know what to think of this
If you're referring to the first part, it is not a joke. DGB is one of my favorite mafia players, as she plays the game to have fun as opposed to winning.

If you're referring to the second part, well done! You have successfully deduced that I have read my role PM, and therefore cannot have a gut read on myself.

@Korlash: Yeah, read at least the OP of Gorrad's Favorite Fictional Characters mafia. I think you'll approve. My next theme will likely be a sequel to it or Webcomic Wars. I've also been tossing around doing something involving the Blackest Night event in the DC universe.

Dutch, you're new here so slack shall be cut. Look up the Random Voting Stage in the wiki. Basically, at the start of the game a whole bunch of people are silly and vote randomly. Then one person says 'OMG the RVS suxxorz' and there's a big debate over whether or not to have an RVS. Depending on which side has more, either the most vocal person for or against the RVS is the D1 lynch. The game proceeds from there.

For those who would call me out on this, the above is satire. Satire is a type of social commentary that uses sarcasm and hyperbole (not the round thing, that's a hyperbola. Hyperbole is exaggeration), possibly in conjunction with juxtaposition.

When someone asks why everyone's voting this quick, I'm going to tell them about the RVS, as the RVS is why we're all voting this quick. I wasn't saying 'lol, RVS'. That implies that I'm using the RVS as an excuse to make a vote regarding which people have called me out. I'm not. I was trying to make an explanation for someone who didn't seem to know what was going on.

Not liking Cyberbob. He seems to be doing the classic tells of following the crowd while actually contributing next to nothing.

Note for those who would call me a hypocrite as I have not contributed myself: I'm not pretending to contribute. This is my first contribution post. Cyberbob is faking it.

Chevre isn't looking good. I agree with Shakespeare-scum tell and non-committal posts-tell, so let's see if we can hammer at one of those.

Chevre, I want your opinion of me, CKD, and Cyberbob, and SpyreX. No less than three sentences for each, stating why you believe them to be scum or town. Make it so that a random person I walk up to can understand you without issue. (Please note: I live in Texas. So assume a low average intelligence).

CKD, money where your mouth is time. Point out where the firm stances and opinions are.

Chevre, I honestly appreciate the time and effort you put into making such a post.
Mod:
Would giving Chevre's WoT post to a person on the street and asking their opinions of it be in violation of any rules (such as talking about the game outside of the thread)?
That said, as I just hinted to, you really didn't give anything firm. The trend with you so far has been a lot of analysis with very little solid hunting. It's early game, so that can be forgiven, but I expect to actually see firm stances as the game goes on.

come on gorrad...you really dont see any stances or opinions if that post?...I mean I can break it down...but there are definately opinions there.
You're dodging the question. I didn't say I didn't see any, and that isn't the point. You said "Firm" stances and opinions, and I want you to enumerate exactly what you meant.

DGB, all fluff? Seriously? I goofed around at the start, but I'm playin' serious (by my standards, at least) now.

In my defense, I more wanted him to post it in terms that someone on the street who already knew the game could understand. I was shooting for trying to get him to stop hiding behind fancy vocabulary (not that there's anything wrong with it in principle- it just seemed like he was being sesquipidalian for its own sake). I did not honestly expect him to explain out the entire game.

Sorry everyone! I've had the flu these past few days, and my laptop was just delivered to my place of rest (AKA my mother's house). I'll make this short.

1. Good posts by CKD and SpyreX. You both explained exactly what you meant clearly. CKD's on my townlist for not BSing like I thought he was.
2. I love how people keep sliding me onto their scumlists without ever actually making cases on me. Xalxe and nocase, I'm looking at y'all here, though y'all're not the only ones.
3. Did I miss Seraphim doing something scummy? He hasn't really posted much of anything.

I have no evidence to believe so. Your case against me was the best I'd seen of anyone so far (against me, that is. Not cases in general). You haven't precisely been vocal, though, so I don't have much to go on other than the case on me.

What is the best case thus far.
So far? None of them. Every good case so far has been ragtag and scattered with the exception of yours, which (while good and point-making) doesn't precisely have a lot to go on. I admit, a lot of that is my flu's fault, but even so you're basing a lot on jokes=bad.

Also: The Chevre wagon's still going on? Seriously? WHY? Farside, make time. Explain yourself.

The cases in this game so far have sucked. The best one is on Xalxe, but even that one is hodgepodge and scattered.

Ah. I see what you're doing. Wagon makes sense now. Still want Farside's response though.

SpyreX, why would I combat your case on me? The points make sense, despite you assigning the wrong motivations to them.

And yet you're the one who repeats what I say in a mocking tone to make me look stupid then continue to insinuate it's scummy without any actual explanation for it.

Tell me, which is scummier: Me acknowledging what DGB's doing in a quick, quiet way, or you announcing to the world what the play is. Tell me exactly what my motive as scum would be to make my last post. Because if you're scum with Chevre, it would be in your best interest to make sure Chevre knows it's a claim-wagon.

Oooh, just read all of nocase's posts this page. Following the crowd (and encouraging others to do so), parroting/claiming gut after this, then immediately switching when another early wagon possibility come up. SpyreX: THIS is scummy. Nocase has a motive to act this way as scum. What you are pointing out in me may well be bad play in your opinion (it certainly isn't in mine), but it's lacking in the 'why would I act this way as scum' department.

I thought the wagon was a terrible idea until it was already at the very end of it's run and I realized what it was. If I had voted then, I think I would have lynched (or at least nearly so).

Gorrad's top 3 scummtells:
1) Jumping on a wagon with no reasoning
2) Misrepresenting others
3) Saying something you can't back up (what I thought CKD was doing earlier)
I also love me some VC analysis

Scum have serious motive to do all three of these, and town have motive to not do them.

Nocase's Iso:
0-2: Claims to have a PR, runs with it. I think his PR is not being able to use caps.
3-4: RVS. To those who claim there wasn't an RVS, you're full of it.
5: More PR bull
6: Fluff
7-8: Jumps on the gut-Gorrad wagon.
9. Fluff
10. Admits PR was bull
(Note: To those counting who are saying I had too much fluff, he's has 2/11 posts at this point that actually contribute)
11. "Everyone jump on the gut wagon"
12. Jumps to a gut wagon on Runner, asks for clarification regarding "Dutch, are you scum?" post.
13. Defends against SpyreX
14. Votes Chevre for Indecisiveness (a fair charge)
15. Gut read (again) on Xalxe
16-17. Immediately jumps to Xalxe as soon as Chevre and Farside start to talk about him.
18. Asks why Seraphim went through the trouble of color-coordinating Chevre's WoT, then FoS's CKD (following my calling CKD out on his statement)
19. Explains his vote on Xalxe. Good reasoning. First post of his I like.
20. Fluff
21. Confirms Xalxe-hate.
22. List of people he'd vote for. List is 8 people long, 3 of which he hasn't mentioned in any prior posts.
23. Presses Xalxe lightly.
24. Agrees with DGB that Farside's reaction is weird, but goes on to say that it IS scummy, whereas DGB said it was not from a scum perspective. Also does so two pages after DGB's comment.
25. Confirms his Gorrad-hate is gut based, then cops out on explanation by just citing SpyreX
26. And on that note, as soon as I call him out, he votes me! (on gut + SpyreX's case)
27. Tells chevre to vote me "if you value your life". AKA "Hey, want to not get lynched? Move the wagon to this guy."
28. See 25
29. Votes CKD as he is now "up for grabs". Note that his only reason to suspect at this point that he's stated is back in 18. Again, quick wagoning.
30. Says he has "a number of town reads and no terribly strong scum reads" despite the 8-long list earlier of those he'd lynch.
31. Addresses things not meant at him, Explains the hop off of me as him thinking I had some town cred (as opposed to Oooh, new wagon- Shiny!). Revotes me.
32. Fluff
33. Actualy content, isos Runner, Katsuki, IAAU, and werewolf. Suspicion on all but IIAU.
34. Lynch list is up to 9.
35. Make that 10. (nearly half the town)
36-37. Asks for Clarification from DGB. That's reasonable.
38. fluff

To summarize: The vast majority of Nocase's play has been defensive/gut-read bandwagoning. He's hiding behind short, non-offensive posts while leaving his options WIDE open for who he could vote for later on. His short bits of scumhunting could be easily faked, and he has contributed nothing to this game other than a false start.

reaction test, and wrong.
A reaction test that accomplished nothing but a false start and confusion. Not scummy, but worthless. Unless, of course, you can point out things that came from it?

3-4: RVS. To those who claim there wasn't an RVS, you're full of it.
that vote was not random; chevre and ckd tickled my gut. thanks for the attempt at trivialization, though; i really dig it.
Ah, so you couldn't even bother to post 'gut' as a reason for those. You just jumped on them without a word.

5: More PR bull
more reaction-testing pr bull.
Again, worthless. Did anything come of it?

6: Fluff
nope. it references the nuts reactions to my post restriction claim.
It did not contribute, it had no point, and I doubt even you can frame it as an ATTEMPT to contribute. It doesn't matter what it references, it's fluff.

7-8: Jumps on the gut-Gorrad wagon.
cyberbob and i both found your post scummy. i was the first to vote but good try.
Again, a wagon isn't defined by who votes, it's by the feel of the thing. CB started the movement and you joined it.

9. Fluff
nope. post 50 (yours) was loaded with nauseating rhetoric.
And how does 'lol rhetoric' (your exact phrase) say that? It doesn't invoke any reactions. It doesn't attack me, it doesn't do anything. You stand on the sidelines and make a useless comment.

10. Admits PR was bull
"admits" characterizes it as reluctant or sheepish. it wasn't and i don't know how you could really think it was. i wasn't going to prolong the test indefinitely.
Ok, confesses. States even. Semantics. It was pointless bull.

(Note: To those counting who are saying I had too much fluff, he's has 2/11 posts at this point that actually contribute)
11. "Everyone jump on the gut wagon"
yup. scummy how?
Because you're telling everyone to jump on a wagon that, by definition, has NO BASIS in fact. That's what makes it gut. You're relying on feeling rather than scumtells or other evidence.

12. Jumps to a gut wagon on Runner, asks for clarification regarding "Dutch, are you scum?" post.
no one was voting runner at the time but thanks for once again falsely stating that my vote was not the first on a given player.
I'll admit, that one's my bad. Still, gut. BAD.

13. Defends against SpyreX
are you trying to make a point?
It's always been my belief that scum have more to gain by defending than town. Scum's goal is to stay alive. Town's goal is to lynch scum. Town make logical decisions based on reasoning, even if their reasoning isn't stated (See:DGB) while scum have no reasoning, and have posts that either defend themselves or are votes based on 'gut'.

14. Votes Chevre for Indecisiveness (a fair charge)
aw, thanks for the seal of approval. it means a lot to me.
Sarcasm. That's original!

15. Gut read (again) on Xalxe
again, iioa.
As stated above, gut reads as pretty much your only tell is crazy scummy.

16-17. Immediately jumps to Xalxe as soon as Chevre and Farside start to talk about him.
no, i jumped to xalxe because my read on chevre changed.
Which you state where? I call BS.

18. Asks why Seraphim went through the trouble of color-coordinating Chevre's WoT, then FoS's CKD (following my calling CKD out on his statement)
more iioa. make a goddamn point. there's nothing to indicate that my reestablished suspicion of ckd was strictly bandwagoning on your suspicion of him.
You deny it then? Once more, BS. Give me proof ANYWHERE in your posts of where you expressed suspicion of CKD so that you would fos him at this point. No, it was strictly bandwagoning off me.

19. Explains his vote on Xalxe. Good reasoning. First post of his I like.
thanks! all i ever wanted was to please you!
Once more, awesome sarcasm.

20. Fluff
no. pushing to see how he would respond.
You and your pointless posts that you push as response-fishing. Once more, unless it accomplishes something, it's fluff. You can't just retcon and some that some pointless thing you said was reaction-fishing. Would you believe me if I said my posts at Korlash were reaction fishing? I has as much evidence that they were as you have that these are.

21. Confirms Xalxe-hate.
hey, look, another instance of FAILURE TO MAKE A POINT. i wasn't confirming xalxe-hate; i was confirming the uniqueness of xalxe's scummy attributes.
It's a PBPA. I can't find something scummy in every post you make, though you make it pretty easy for me.

22. List of people he'd vote for. List is 8 people long, 3 of which he hasn't mentioned in any prior posts.
you caught me.
Damn skippy I did.

23. Presses Xalxe lightly.
no, actually, this post is an instance of what we english speakers refer to as ASKING A QUESTION HEHEHAHAHA.
Oooooookaaaaay what's with the laugh? Anyhow. You're pressing him lightly for information by asking him an easy question. There. Better?

24. Agrees with DGB that Farside's reaction is weird, but goes on to say that it IS scummy, whereas DGB said it was not from a scum perspective. Also does so two pages after DGB's comment.
cute. another non-point.
My point is that you misrepped DGB two pages after the statement. The main thing I want to know is why you did so so late?

25. Confirms his Gorrad-hate is gut based, then cops out on explanation by just citing SpyreX
i voiced suspicion of you in the nascency of this game. the hunch stuck and i liked spyrex's case. but you're right. i'll never DARE to appreciate another player's theory again.
That's not the point. The point is you made NO CASE of your own. Pun not intended.

26. And on that note, as soon as I call him out, he votes me! (on gut + SpyreX's case)
the vote immediately followed chevre's wall. the wagon on chevre and chevre's overwhelming towniness were the direct cause of my vote.
So....you unvoted Xalxe...and voted me...because Chevre sounded town? The heck?

27. Tells chevre to vote me "if you value your life". AKA "Hey, want to not get lynched? Move the wagon to this guy."
yes, that's exactly what i was saying. there's nothing remotely anti-town about urging a fellow townie to vote a player who's actually suspicious in order to stay alive.
You were using basically bargaining with Chevre's life to get her to do what you wanted. I would call that pretty bleedin' anti-town.

28. See 25
see 25.
See 25.

29. Votes CKD as he is now "up for grabs". Note that his only reason to suspect at this point that he's stated is back in 18. Again, quick wagoning.
my instinctual suspicion of him accumulated over several of his posts, although it did taper off a little later on.
And you stated this where? This is why you say things. Because otherwise, when you claim you felt them later, you have no evidence to back you up.

30. Says he has "a number of town reads and no terribly strong scum reads" despite the 8-long list earlier of those he'd lynch.
if i had strong scum reads then my list of ideal lynches would be considerably shorter.
So you'd lynch someone without a strong scum read on them? That is what we would call BAD.

31. Addresses things not meant at him, Explains the hop off of me as him thinking I had some town cred (as opposed to Oooh, new wagon- Shiny!). Revotes me.
you seemed to be directing all three at me, but if you'll look again you'll see i was unsure of whether or not you actually were. i revoted you due to a reread of your iso. and to the fact that your recent contributions were garbage.
Which once more, you obviously stated clearly at the time. Why in the nine rings should I believe a thing you are claiming? You revoted me as soon as you thought I was attacking you.

32. Fluff
bullshit, gorrad. you failed to rebut my defenses and i called you out on it. jesus christ.
No, you defended against things that weren't meant towards you. We were not debating at the time.

33. Actually content, isos Runner, Katsuki, IAAU, and werewolf. Suspicion on all but IIAU.
are you trying to insinuate that expressing reasoned suspicion of three players in a large normal is scummy, or are you just posting iioa again?
IIOA. As said, it's a PBPA. That means I put in every post.

34. Lynch list is up to 9.
yup.
One worse than 8.

35. Make that 10. (nearly half the town)
oh, my bad, i don't generate fifteen town reads on day one. i must be scum.
So you're saying that anyone on whom you don't have a town read is a lynchable target? That's not scummy, that's just horrible play!

36-37. Asks for Clarification from DGB. That's reasonable.
do i get a sticker?
Yes. It's a scratch and sniff I stuck to the bottom of the pool.

38. fluff
i really have to wonder whether or not you actually comprehend the words that enter your field of vision. i asked dgb a question about jerbs and in her response she (1) failed to answer and (2) deflected onto another player. i called her out on it. but you're right, of course! how could i not have realized it all along? calling someone out for deflecting is an irrefutable scum tell and i should be lynched for it. WAHOO.
That's not 'calling someone out'. That is, once more, making a smarmy remark from the sidelines to which no one will react and calling it content.
And this is why I don't make isos. Because they always result in gorram WoT wars ><

Wow, people actually read that whole thing? My work feels validated : D
Farside-
1. The admission wasn't pointless, the fake PR was.
2. Because I don't think he was reaction-testing. I think he was trying to gather a bandwagon on me based on nothing. Any time nocase says he's looking for reactions, I think he's either wasn't and is just trying to make it seem like what he was doing had a point, or if he was it was completely ineffectual.

RedCoyote-
A prime example of his defensiveness is when he revotes me as soon as I put pressure on him, and how the most he's said in a given post was defending against my WoT. He's using votes as a means of detering the attack. Short posts aren't always bad, but his are as he's using them to just make a short comment that applies to the situation but isn't helpful (see the post of his after yours). He's willing to stir the pot, but he doesn't do anything like, say, Korlash (huge post to combat SpyreX's generally considered good case) or DGB (Random amounts of extreme pressure). HE just softly pokes around with no stated reasoning. He leaves his options open by stating that he's willing to lynch almost half the gorram town.

Nocase-
I've studied enough psychology to know that intuition is far less reliable when reading text than when in person. Relying on it to the point you do it folly.

I haven't seen a lot of commentary on my nocase WoT. Do I need to summarize it again for people who don't like WoTs? I could do a Cliffs Notes version.

Werewolf is the first wagon I've seen get to this point that I wasn't completely against. If my anti-nocase movement fails, I'll give him a more thorough read.

Kmd is not scum unless DGB can finally work up the courage to explain herself on him. In the meantime, Antihero still needs lynching.
As does Gorrad. Vote: Gorrad

I am not! I haven't even stated suspicion of you yet. I just said I wasn't completely against your wagon, and would do a read of you in my Nocase case fell through.

You voted yourself at a time in the middle of the RVS stage. Not at its start. It was your second vote and came after some players voted you. It felt as though you were giving credit to everyone's gut suspicions of you at that point and or making a bad attempt at stopping your wagon. I think that was scummy. Why did you do it?
Honestly? Because it was silly.

Yeah, your vague promise to iso ONLY the current vote leader and easy lynch is soooooooo townie
*cough* *cough*
I made a huge Iso on someone who had no one looking funny at him. People generally ignored it. So yeah, I'm going to see if this wagon has any merit.

My car breaks down, I get woken up by a text in the middle of five hours of sleep that has the girl I like telling me she doesn't want a second date, and now the one game I'm playing has me strung up due primarily to my two jobs and school taking precedence. Gorrad: 0 Murphy: 1.

Well then. I'm honestly in too down a mood to come up with one of my classic hilarious fakeclaims that I do whenever I'm usually vanilla. So yeah. I'm vanilla. Speaking of which, today is dedicated to ice cream, video games, and the Marx Bros. I don't have to wake up at 4:30 AM tomorrow, so I'll get a nice big post done then. Considering how everyone seems to be yelling at me for lurking, I'm sure you can all agree that a big post from me would be good info before death, yes? Good.

If someone decides to take matters into their own hands and lynch me before then, I mean it about that nocase wagon. Korlash is making too bold a move siding with me to be scum. I'm getting less sure about SpyreX being town as the game goes on. Don't let DGB run the game- she's good, but her forceful personality means that it's hard to get a read on her, and harder to get a wagon going on her. Korlash and Pokerface, I've played with y'all before. You're good players. I'm tasking you to keep an eye on her. Keep an eye on people like nocase who only post a few sentences per post, and, gods above and below, don't forget to do a VC analysis on the trends today. There's one newbie scum who's been wagon-hopping, I'm sure of it. I'll do so myself if I'm alive tomorrow (RL, not game time).

If I'm dead before I post again, go town!
