For someone that burned you as scum, you are letting him off far too lightly which reads as insincere; this was indicated by my question #1 to you and was meant as a form of an answer.In post 15, talah wrote:
Yuppers, sure am.In post 12, DeasVail wrote:I am talah! Are you town?
Well this is good news!Perhaps if mastin is town too we shall be an unstoppable scumhunting force.
You used "knowing more people" as a reason for your entrance post. I still don't understand the connection and you have not explained it; thus it remains obfuscation to me. That and the emotive "yawn" just isn't clicking for me here.you are asking me to provide *more* information which you apparently find scummy.

I answered it in post #17, but to further the point, there is a certain cog-dis in your query of DV (whom apparently you have seen recently as scum):
Instead of pressuring him you RVS vote Mastin as a way of greeting him; you pass up pressuring someone who you portend to be alignment concerned over for a non-pressure RVS "greet vote". You then declare them town for no objective reason and appear to bait the person you RVS voted for into a town bloc.
Because of the above, you were obviously not concerned about DV's alignment (nor Mastin's for that matter). It was only window dressing. Its the reason your entrance post was insincere and its proven by your subsequent actions.
Scum want town buddies and are not alignment concerned."Won't you be my neighbor?"-

If Talah is so hot, why did you use the phrase "for now" in reference to her wagon?In post 62, Doc Holliday wrote:
Your vote had nothing to do with it. It looked like a standard "provoke and see how he reacts" thing, to which I couldn't give a crap. I was much more interested in talah. Talah 1) Called for allies 2) Blindly sheeped those allies 3) Reacted badly to a case being made. For early day one, that's a slam dunk case that I'm not going to "wait and see" on.In post 40, DeasVail wrote:Doc Holliday, I have to say that your 'out of RVS' post was rather disappointing, and unfortunately I am inclined to believe that it was in reaction to my vote."Won't you be my neighbor?"-

I am using "mudslinging" here meaning throwing fuel on the fire on a bad wagon.In post 64, 4nxi3ty wrote:uhh ahem doc never mudslang the bjc wagon and I never fencesat on anything, explain?
you didn't agree with zdenek on damon gant? I thought it was decent considering damon thinking it was necessary to post something substantive weirded me out.
You totally fencesat my vote and ZD pointed it out.
Hmmm, ZD's DG analysis didn't make my notes. Thanks for pointing it out but of course I agree there and specifically how DG is sheeping Pere's logic and not using his own. He also appears to be overjustifying his absence but happy birthday to him anyway."Won't you be my neighbor?"-

Look if you express reservations when you vote it allows you to excuse your behavior using said reservations as an excuse.In post 69, 4nxi3ty wrote:lack of conviction != fencesitting, neither does wanting to wait to see how other people interact while leaving my vote on the person I am most comfortable with wagoning.
I think you have a slightly zealous understanding of terms like "obfuscation", "opportunistic", "fencesitting", "mudslinging" but I don't think it is alignment related.
I mean everything I say even if it differs from what you think it should mean."Won't you be my neighbor?"-

Dang Talah calm down my head is on fire reading your :goodposting:
I have two SERIOUS issues because players I look up to and respect are confusing me badly:
1) Thad -- You are a very experienced player. Can you please explain to me why you are taking BJC's post so literally? If I didn't know it was you, I would think I was reading a low experience player.
2) Mastin -- A) How does Thad get a townread for his BJC vote? I mean on its face how does he become town for basically coasting RVS and buddying me & voting low hanging fruit? B) How does Aptil get a townread for throwing around opinions but no vote for his scum suspect? I mean how on its face does that make him town??"Won't you be my neighbor?"-

I'm not completely caught up or anything, but I just want to say that I learned about scum hunting the RVS from the Mastin School; i.e. I read the game where you lost your Mastin Mastin, Mastin and ever since I have tried to follow that philosophy as a guiding light. I feel hugely complimented that you agree on my RVS evaluation on Talah (I cannot yet comment on your stated follow-up analysis) but the 3 reads I mentioned feel terribly off to me and I feel myself agreeing with Talah here."Won't you be my neighbor?"-

Really? Am I missing something because (no offense to Mastin) but it read to me like a barely substantial semantics argument which would be better suited for RVS.In post 124, Zdenek wrote:
This looks good.In post 107, mastin2 wrote:Yeah, you're scum. This line of thought simply doesn't come from a town player. Town player? "Why do you think Rogers is town? Why do you think I'm scum?" Scum player? "Why do you think our interactions are town vs. scum?" (Making an assumption that interactions have anything to do with the read. They might contribute to the overall picture, but are largely irrelevant.) "...Also, he unvoted me; surely that makes him either scum or wrong." (That's essentially what talah's saying, here.)"Won't you be my neighbor?"-

As for me, #202 earns the benefit of my doubt. I ESPECIALLY like how he actually followed through with his Mastin analysis; I read his intention as posturing and I was pretty sure we would never see that post. I also appreciate all the genuine thought and effort that went into that post.

Ahem. But didn't you do this with both myself AND DG but at the opposite of the spectrum? O_o
Are you seriously asking this question? How about Player A as scum knows Player B is town but wants some wiggle room in case the lynch goes through or the player is NK'ed?yes, that's the point, it's the opposite. What's the motivation for someone to leave room for a read to be town, i.e. less credit for a lynch?
Well ya scum love their night Q/T and I can't help think of Doc when I say this but that doesn't change the fact that door swings in both directions.Compared to leaving the door open for suspicion, i.e. giving credit to lynch while defending against it?
ORLY? The term "vote parking" means a temporary place to put your vote until later. The word "until" indicates a time in which your vote will no longer be on DG and "more people enter the game" is a clear condition for when your vote will move.And I never showed any doubt with my DG read.
It reads more like town posturing; appearing to be busy doing something a townie would do rather than any genuine scum hunting."Won't you be my neighbor?"-

Ok this game is sort of spinning out of control. Too many players for me to capture and quantify all the data in a collected way before too much new data is introduced. I will post some substantive reads though and attempt to complete a full analysis once I have caught up.
This analysis is good up to post #210.
Well I think we are ahead of the game already. We can effectively remove 10% of the player list from suspicion due to ZD's excellent play.
Let's get the lurkers out of the way first:
Smudge-- We cannot let him slip under the radar and need to force him to really be substantive to make up for the time he missed and help the game state. If they can't handle the task, they need to replace out for someone that can.
Now the low posters:
Rach-- Comments on the "thread explosion" & Talah male from game she modded. Pere suspicion good (Yates) because BB replaces regardless of alignment. Votes Pere for the same reason. Up to this point I see too much IOA; the BB issue is a great place for scum to hang their hat while contributing nothing to this game. Queries Talah on his townread of herself. Now this is universally considered a townie thing to do, so much so that its actually easy to fake; not that someone shouldn't do it because its NECESSARY but that it is easily a scum reflex action to appear as town. It is possible that my problems with Rach revolve around her lack of posting but I must have her as.leaning scum
Luca-- Naked Doc vote; I especially don't like this because it was a wagon vote. Fencesitty BJC commentary & unprompted defense stating that early apathy is more likely to come from town than scum (??). I can see nothing that I like from Luca and he too must.lean scum
Aptil-- Comments on Doc's RVS vote & would of voted Doc too but Doc posted good after that; I question this analysis as I disagree but it does appear Aptil actually believes this. Calls BJClynchbaitwhich Talah caught as a town reference; like Luca this is an unprompted defense and an easy thing for scum. What I really don't like is how he blankets Talah with a bad posting label but doesn't follow up with a vote; a vote at least signifies personal responsibility & a scum hunting mindset. Aptil needs to pick up his game as his viable content and player track is far too low.null to scum
Pere-- Neighborhood Q/T joke RVS vote with no other comment even though some genuine conflict has begun. Votes low hanging fruit in BJC but does point out that BJC skimming 30 posts sounds faked. Makes a comment about voting BB_replace_scum; obviously faulty analysis on its face but it DID force some people to bring BB meta up AND it created an easy target for those who are so desirous. I like the genuine scum hunting but dislike the target; the benefit of the doubt here lies in Pere returning to this thread for more genuine content.Conditional null to town
Doc Holliday-- Starts with a joke vote of BB. Adds to the early Talah case with some original spin concerning coalition building and Votes for Talah which was very strong but then weakens that terribly by indicating that he would be leaving the wagon at some point in the future ("for now") and uses the low hanging fruit BJC as a potential avenue to do so; this reads to me as "Boy I like wagons, let's get one wherever we can!" and because he weakened the wagon he was currently on, it indicates a certain insincerity with his convictions even though he later defends that read strongly; this is cog-dis. With this little to go on and most of it bad, Doc isleaning scum
Now for everyone else:
DV-- Votes Doc without explanation. Talah liked this and I will defer. Follows up with accusing Doc of deflecting by voting Talah because there is no game evidence for a Talah vote; I disagree with the conclusion here but like the function which is to draw Doc out. Points out that the Talah vote however is serious because Doc left his vote there in the face of BJC suspicion; this is original logic and genuine effort that I would find hard to fake. He holds Talah as null (early). Queries myself on Talah inquiry. Accuses Thad of posturing with BJC suspicion. Likes ZD's reads except for DG. He seems to slightly overreact however when ZD mentions his name in connection with a scum alignment. Queries Doc's #62 as inconsistent (which I don't understand but man more original and genuine thought/effort). Queries Talah about Mastin lurking/complaining and queries Mastin about Talah's ability to read him. Analysis post #110: Doc, Aptil, Thad as scum & maybe 1-2 more. I have read a game where DV contributes nowhere even close to how well he is posting this game. I certainly hope he keeps this up because he will be a tremendous asset to the town & game state.Solid town
Talah-- He is the most prolific poster in this game (density). He also is a very strong player. I would say he got off to a shaky start and then its like something clicked and he was filled with townie light that shone like the sun; I'm not taking credit or anything but it was in response to the pressure I directed at him. This positive change emerged with noting the Pere/Admiral joke interaction as possible scum buddying; I noticed the same thing and was impressed that he was thinking about the same possibility. I agree with the initial Doc push & meta help with DV analysis. Points out that the word "lynchbait"(Aptil) connotes town alignment which I found to be an excellent catch. The townie indignation was quite strong against Doc and what can we say? He went after Mastin with such force and conviction; could he actually fake something like that? I think its highly unlikely. He has some kind of theory about multiball & Mastin which could be quite valuable to the town if it could be true but I think his discretion should rule the day there. An excellent catch about Mastin's posting limitation as an excuse to lurk/complain. Pointed out cog-dis in Mastin's DG vote while so strongly suspecting himself & Mastin should be trying get him lynched. The Mastin vote was the full expression of a townie on fire. I think the Rach read is more along the lines of sentimental than substantial. Back to Mastin pointing out how Mastin gives easy town reads to low posters but a scum read to himself who has very much content to analyze. I agree with his take on Aptil. I can only admire his restraint with Mastin as he pulls away to keep himself balanced. I would say that Talah has obviously put alot of work into his game and can only see him asstrong town
BJC-- Claims scum. Regardless of opinions regarding this post, it DID help to get the game rolling and its impact can STILL be felt in this game. He seems to overjustify his behavior with a timeline of his actions and makes a strange comment about "the usual people are too uptight" which I still don't understand. Votes Doc after skimming which also appears as over-justification of his behavior along with more timeline regarding content. Then, similar to Talah, something clicks and his posts take on a better character. He starts with cog-dis in Thad's joke criteria being OK for Pere but not OK for himself. He queries Doc on how his post can even be termed a gambit as nobody could possibly take it seriously; I found this to be quite impressive logic. He accurately points out Doc's fencesitting his wagon and then tells me I am talkative because he has read my game on site; that really did impress me. I like how he fully accepts Aptil's lynchbait assertion with a certain free flowing joy that is tough to fake. He actually did skim 30 posts. I like him calling DG out for his vote of himself and can only agree with his Luca appraisal as finger pointing. Man I wish this guy was around more but what I have seen can only betown
Thad-- Jokes back to Pere about the neighborhood Q/T; both Talah & I thought about possible scum buddying there. Likes my RVS though forced; I didn't like the fact that none of the content of my case was addressed there but you can't have everything I guess. Votes BJC; ZD actually awakened me to the idea that a player as ancient as Thad really shouldn't be voting BJC here and now that I think about it, I think it would be more consistent for Thad toBJC's post in the same way that my posts were addressed; it helped to get us out of RVS. I can't help but notice (along with some other person in this game that I forget) that Thad preemptively hits the "I'm scum for taking the bait" note; I would give this town cred but subsequent posts show that he really believes it and wasn't using it to encourage reads. I liked his calling out of Anx for fencesitting his vote of myself because it showed he was paying attention in an analytical way. I agree with calling out Mastin for DG read (vs. Talah) and of course agree with his appraisal of Talah's "lynchbait" (via Aptil) and his Talah town read. Again showing an active mindset with his inquiry RE multiball ala Talah/Mastin. Thad remains unabashed at voting BJC for his "scum" post to the point of even accusing ZD of WK BJC; I guess this means that Thad is sincere here but man it feels good when a person stops hitting their head against a brick wall. Analysis post #143 Myself town, Talah town, DG inexperienced town (this got me thinking and is more of what I would like to see from Thad ie deeper game wisdom). Doc null-town; I can't really agree here but we both can agree Doc needs to post. Pere null, Luca null, BJC leaning scum for only interacting with those that voted him; here I think we can apply the same criteria that Thad used for Pere/Luca ie low posting. ZD scum for 6 scum reads and no town reads; here I certainly disagree as I had ZD as solid town FOR his scum hunting. I found Thad's view here an oversimplification that again, lacks the wisdom I would expect to see from Thad. Anx weak votes myself/Gant leaning scum, Aptil weak/questionable read on BJC null-scum. I disagreed with Thad's vote of ZD and his accusations that ZD was not scum hunting just sound wrong and the town reads issue contrived even though the logic of balanced reads is correct. I like his defense of DG which got me thinking. Of course I agree with Thad's ultimate clearing of ZD but don't understand why it took that to get him to see ZD as at least leaning town with reservations instead of scum. Thad votes Anx. I need to check my analysis notes but I think I have Anx as improving with more recent posts and I suspect I will again find divergence with Thad. I am terribly conflicted with Thad as I see some of the wise play I would expect but some astonishing play that I would not expect. I can see Thad as town and as scum and so I can only have him asapplaudnull
This is what I have so far and again, I will attempt to complete an analysis on the other players once I have caught up (WELP!)"Won't you be my neighbor?"-

@Yates: Welcome to this game man! Supa awesome just like I remember you from reading a couple of games you were in.
1) Its not the fake kill itself, its Chem's reaction in multi-stages that aligns perfectly with his join date that convinces me.
2) I don't like wishy washy votes for the reasons I have stated. Furthermore, the cog-dis in applying the same criteria to someone else as a scum case and then denying said behavior regarding oneself is too much for me to handle and thus the vote. Just verifying, you read his post where he used the phrase, "Vote parking here until more people join the game" right?"Won't you be my neighbor?"-

Ok, applying some wisdom to the situation because I can foresee what is going to happen: I will never get a full analysis post out fast enough this early in the game with so many players.
The following players I have yet to analyze:
Anx, DG, ZD, Snow, Chem, Yates, Mastin, Matt
I will just briefly summarize and get back to digesting.
Anx -- Has a wishy washy voting profile but yet is willing to accuse others for the same thing. Reads like insincere town posturingscum
DG -- Bad game start re BJC. Over-defensive. Bad game logic. Rusty & R/L issues. Sincere. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but he seriously needs to improve.null
ZD -- Very strong entrance. Strong and consistent scum hunting effort. INCREDIBLE FAKE VIG! Helped the town tremendously. I strongly disagree with Talah read but that's all I disagree with; the guy is playing a near perfect town game.strong town
Snow -- Excellent DG catches with blending & over-defensive tone. Excellent reads. Another great DG catch falsely elevating BJC read. Needs to widen scope but so far :goodposting:.town
Chem -- Can't understand Rach read; oversimplistic. Good game logic. Totally sincere +town reaction to vig.very strong town
Yates -- Undigested but incredible game-wide scope. Don't agree with all reads but at least 75%+. Errrm, what? No vote? Meh. I guess there is only so much 1 guy can do at one time. Can't fault Nero here though.null to town
Mastin -- Terrible initial game reads with Thad, Aptil & Luca. Bad vote switch backpedal. Strong defense post #114 but even this does not eclipse the very bad entrance. Talah seems wise to pull back and let Mastin continue and I will do the same.leaning scum
Matt -- Reads post #133. Agree with reads except Rach. Noting Matt-Pere interactions. Not voting. Good start that I agree with. Needs more.null to town
Nero -- Welcome back man. Obviously you will deliver more than a naked vote.null
Scum:Rach, Luca, Aptil, Doc, Anx, Mastin
Need to see that Smudge replace. I expect to see some of the low posters to improve their rating. I expect that there is at least one town/null read that is playing a great scum game so far; *glares at Thad*"Won't you be my neighbor?"-

I've read a game with you in it and you were a powerful and wise scum hunter there; a true presence to be reckoned with. Making scum tremble. How would you have me rate you if I can make a case for you being town and equally being scum?
Are you pushing ZD as scum with me here? I mean are you seriously doing that? Am I misunderstanding you?
You cleared ZD didn't you?"Won't you be my neighbor?"-
