Ok, say you are correct in your assessment.
What advantage does Town get from Mass Claiming Names?
Scum don't have to worry about fake-claiming via scrambled flavor.
If Town doesn't get any advantage from doing it then it is an exercise in wasting posts."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

VOTE: Vezok
My understanding is that you have just joined MS from another site after the ‘challenge’ thread in MD. Is this understanding correct?
If so do you have previous interactions or knowledge of Vezok elsewhere?

Stop quote pyramiding please. There's no reason to have a five deep quote for a response that is basically two lines long.
And more Rod vote would also be great!"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Rodion wrote:Talking about vezok is my opinion on why he shouldn't be speedlynched for merely suggesting a mass nameclaim. Moreover, the suggestion that he fullclaims is a way to deter that idea. Even if you think he is scummy, why go for a speedlynch before hearing him claim (I see no pro-town reasoning behind this idea)? I said this because of this post:
So are you saying him full-claiming well before he gets anywhere near L-1 is a good way to deter a ‘speedlynch’? I want to be clear on this point.
Rodion wrote:This is my first non-marathon game on this site and I don't know any of you. I was not sure whether you were seriously planning to speedlynch vezok or not.
Why, regardless of this, are you worried about a ‘speedlynch’ when he never acquired more than 4 votes?
Rodion wrote:Magna/Vifam - careful there, as leading mislynches against new players that theoretically shouldn't know how to defend themselves properly is considered a scum tell where I come from.
1. Slight Appeal to Emotion (in classifying yourself as a ‘mislynch’) noted.
2. Where do you come from? Do you regularly assume that recently signed up players there have no Mafia experience by which to “defend themselves”. On your site is it standard procedure to never apply pressure to new players as a scum-hunting measure?

Pappums wrote:(My bold)- Why do you feel the need to label your vote as being on an RVS wagon? I think it is quite clear, considering this was the second vote of the game, that we were still in RVS. There is no reason why a townie would have to make it so clear that their vote is a RVS vote. This looks to me like you are trying to distance yourself from the wagon if it were to result in a lynch on vezok.
Ok, so your assertions are that –
1. Town players never label votes RVS votes?
2. I’m trying to distance from a theoretical lynch that never got more than 4 votes off the ground?
Pappums wrote:You may want to look at Rodion's join date, he is clearly new to MS.net and is obviously new to the way we do things here. I expect better than this from townMoI. It appears to me that you are grasping at straws in an attempt to get a real wagon going since a vezok policy lynch is not going to happen (which I think is what you were hoping for).
Oh, so pressuring players to determine their alignment and level of competency isn’t allowed?
As for grasping at straws – I think this post by you demonstrates that particular tactic quite well."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

I find the push on Jily for ‘fence-sitting’ to be very weak. The lack of commentary is more fair but I don’t see it as strongly scummy at this very early stage of the game.
@Zinger– are you going to do any actual scum-hunting this game as opposed to just paraphrasing flavor from “My Name is Earl”?
PATB’s post re: Andrew at140is good-posting.

This is the second time you’ve hopped right after someone else’s vote with “Me Too” reasoning (the first was my vote on Rodion). I’m not seeing anything that looks like actual scum-hunting in your back and forth with Marco or any of your other posts.
I disagree with the fence-sitting portion of the attack.

You flaked and were lynched before you could be replaced at deadline Day 1 in Mini 937, which happened well before the conversion.
So that explanation is out the door.

KillerJ wrote:No, I played SC2 custom map a bit and found my way here independently. I've never heard of vezok before this thread.
Ok, so why did you say you didn’t see any reasons to not wagon Vezok if you have no previous knowledge of his play?
You do get strong Town points for noting that DavidX didn’t answer my question and bringing it up.

Pappums wrote:1. I have never, ever, ever seen a townie label their vote as being in RVS. Have you ever done this before? Have you even seen other townies do this before?
It’s a pretty common occurrence, IMO. I thought about going through your completed games to see if it had happened before in games you played but lost the drive for that long slog.
@Pappums– I second the notion that you divulge whether this is an Alt account or a Hydra account.
Pappums wrote:No, that is fine of course, I just saw it as going after an easy target.
Ok, please explain the process you use to differentiate between valid pressuring and ‘going after an easy target’, which is growing to be one of my top 5 hated phrases here on MS.

Rodion wrote:I never said "fullclaim now". I said: "if you're really going to pursue this speedlynch idea over his unfortunate comment regarding the mass nameclaim, at least give him the opportunity to full claim".
As has been pointed out that’s not what you said but what you intended to say. I personally read it very differently. It may well be a case of awkward phrasing so I’m not going to look at it any further.
Rodion wrote:1 - Well, I am a mislynch. Period. Granted, scum would claim to be town as well, but I'm not appealing to emotion as much as stating a fact, fact being "I am town".
That’s exactly why it is an Appeal to Emotion. You are stating as a ‘fact’ that you are Town with no other support than “I know my Role-PM”. Scum, again, are just as likely to say exactly that. Town shows they are Town via solid play, not by saying “I’m a mislynch”.
Rodion wrote:2a - ConquerClub. It's actually a site for the board game "Risk", but the forums are big and there is a mafia subforum. Here's the link to the subforum:
I took a quick glance at some games going on and some of the “Here’s Mafia” informational threads. My gut first impression is that the general level of play is not as high as here but certainly not anywhere near as primitive as other sites.
Rodion wrote:2b - Yes, we regularly assume that recent signed up players have no mafia experience, unless they claim otherwise.
Well here on MS if you are playing outside “The Road to Rome” it is pretty much standard practice to assume you have sufficent skill levels to play with the ‘big boys’.
Rodion wrote:2c - Obviously, roles are given out randomly and new players are not "immune" to being scum, so they can and should be pressured.Problem is, if you don't have strong evidence against the "newbies",making a tempest in a teapot seems like an attempt to go for the easy lynch and, as such, is viewed as a scum tell.
Bolded for emphasis – the thread has barely been open 72 hours. What level of ‘strong evidence’ are you expecting at this stage of the game. Pressuring players is part of developing reads."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Pappums wrote:Our problem with labelling the vote RVS (and fwiw, I don't think I've seen a townie go to the point of labelling their RVS vote RVS) is unnecessary. It actually undermines the pressure value of the vote, and does leave open the possibility for later of 'My vote was just RVS, I didn't expect all these other players to make the wagon get out of hand like they have done.' Help build a wagon before distancing from it later. That said, we wish to note that
The point of the Vezok wagon wasn’t to pressure Vezok. You understand that, right?
It was to gauge the reaction of other players based on how they react to said wagon.
Pappums wrote:All that said, we are aware of the trap of finding something small someone does early slightly scummy, then they argue with you and you get into a pattern of being each other's interlocutors. Whatever we might think of MoI's tactics, he is at least trying.
Yeah, we are certainly going to have to disagree about the “Newbie Elevator” theory. If you are playing outside the “Road to Rome”, especially in themed games, you are assumed (by me at least) to have enough of a passing understanding of how things are done here.
Pappums wrote:Incidentally, we think Vezok's likely town. Scum tend to try to avoid becoming one of the first few wagons. Any plan you can propose, you can pretty much guarantee someone's going to find it antitown and call you scum for suggesting it. And if it isn't antitown, then, well, it's helping town and why would scum want to do that?
Please clarify what you are saying here because, to quote the Simpsons, “I know all those words, but that makes no sense to me”.
On another note – I’m glad to know that Fonz is the other half of the Hydra. If you live longer than me it’s pretty much an assurance you are scum

Vifam wrote:That's because both of them did something legitimately scummy. And Jyl's defense of Vezok when the BW on Vezok obviously wasn't going strong at the time is the scummiest thing yet.
Yet those things were only scummy ‘to you’ after someone else posted similar thoughts.

DavidX wrote:I didn't see the need to put pressure on him. I didn't, and still don't, think Vezok's done anything warranting that pressure, and frankly I saw the French and my mind clouded.
So you didn’t like a RVS pressure wagon on Vezok because he didn’t do anything suspect, but you were happy to vote someone for being French?
Into my “Acceptable Day 1 Lynch” pool you go.

Pappums wrote:Strikes me that in that case, labelling it as RVS still is counterproductive to the stated aim. More to the point, I've seen Vezok quicklynched within a couple of pages and 48 RL hours before simply for being him.
Please show me an example other than Vi’s “Mafia of the Complicated Seraph Mechanics” or whatever it was called because that quichlynch was completely policy in response to “Objection” Mafia and IMO was frankly deserved.
Because I haven’t seen any others.
Pappums wrote:1) Scum don't want to help town, or get wagoned.
2) If you propose a plan, if it is good you will help town, if it is bad you will get wagoned (and sometimes if it's good you'll get wagoned anyway by people who see things differently).
3) Therefore, scum will steer clear of suggesting any kind of claim or action plan early on.
Same works for policy lynching. You know there's going to be a significant minority of the town calling for the head of anyone who dares suggest anything that looks like a policy lynch, therefore people proposing D1 policy lynches are usually town.
How this elaborate theory labels Vezok as Town I’m not getting.

Vifam wrote:That's not what I'm trying to get at, I'm saying, how is Nero any more scummy then I am if he has done the same thing? Does the fact that he opened up with BLATENT sheeping mean anything to you? You also disagree that Jyl is fencesitting, so why aren't you directing any of your scumhunting at the person who STARTED the BW?
1. Are you trying to suggest that Nero is more scummy than you for blatantly sheeping because his first post came later in the game? Despite the fact that you have played ‘Follow the Leader’ multiple times?
No, I don’t find Nero more scummy. His reasoning for voting Jily is buddying, which is different than fence-sitting. Yes, they refer to the same post but his suggested motivations make some level of sense to me.
2. So ‘BLATENT sheeping’ is scummy? So you doing it twice is fairly strong evidence you are scum then, correct?
3. Here’s my original quote so we can discuss it in full –
I find the push on Jily for ‘fence-sitting’ to be very weak. The lack of commentary is more fair but I don’t see it as strongly scummy at this very early stage of the game.
Again … I find the fence-sitting a weak accusation because fence-sitting on whether someone is a VI or not has nothing to do with alignment.
I do understand the ‘lack of commentary / analysis’ angle but don’t find it very strong this early in the game.
Why should I be attacking the originator of the Jily wagon again? I don’t have a Town read on her. Just because I don’t agree with a main point against her doesn’t mean I think she’s Town.
Vifam wrote:Sadly, the only possible defense is "I agreed with their reads".
So it is ok (aka Not a scum-tell) to wagon if you agree with someone else’s reads.
Why didn’t you ask Nero whether he agrees with the other reads on Jily?
I’m seeing some strong Cognitive Dissonance in your play that I’m having a hard time not thinking isn’t driven by a scum perspective."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Before this post you played a Marathon game Wedensday and made three posts in other, on-going Non-marathon games since your last post here.
After this post you were more than able to post about 8 times in another on-going non-Marathon game.
This smells of thread avoidance which I strongly believe is a pretty significant scum-tell. See Umbrage’s Jungle Republic and CJDrum and Sloth / havingfitz. Both exhibited that behavior and both were scum.
I’m giving you an ultimatum– I have unanswered questions for you at170. I want answers to all those questions before I get back Monday morning. Otherwise you immediately get my vote right back and I will run your wagon up the flagpole so everyone can salute.

I see no other explanation, and ZeL1nK has yet to offer up one.

Peregrine wrote:Thoughts on DavidX? And on Leonshade's last post?
1. I thought I made my read on DavidX clear when I called him an acceptable Day 1 lynch. He reads as scummy. I see avoidance of taking strong positions and signs of active-lurking. His “I suspect Vifam” followed by a Vifam vote much later looks very much like he’s planning his moves.
That actually makes me believe Vifam and DavidX aren’t aligned. Depending on whether we are in Multi-scum or not (damn it GreyICE, why aren’t you in this game. You have a much better gut feel for that sort of thing) that may or may not clear one of the two of them, potentially.
2. Leonshade’s ‘cross-post’ with me is also fence-sitting on Vifam.
--
KillerJ wrote:Attempt to distance yourself from the bandwagon, noted.
VOTE: Leonshade
I haven’t looked back at Leonshade re: Vifam but I disagree with this statement.
Distancing himself from the bandwagon is what Pvt. Slate did – saying Vifam was clearly Town and we had best look elsewhere while not providing direct support (other than nebulous ‘vibes’) as to why he thinks Vifam is Town. That's possibly looking for Town cred when the suggested flip matches with his statements (and also possibly an honest read).
Leonshade’s fence-sitting fits more with scum looking to express suspicion of Vifam but not actually supporting the wagon in the case that Vifam flips scum.
Of course, as I said above the lack of knowledge aka Multi-scum or not hinders making any strong analysis of motivations Day 1."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Note before I go to bed ...
All this discussion about what happens in regards to the Hypobomb is pretty useless and rather distracting to the process of actually looking for scum.
If he is some SuperSaint / Bomb its best to kill him via lynch with someone scummy hammering. But rather than sheeping onto him with the generous deadline lets get back to looking for non-Third Party scum, shall we? Worse comes to worse we can lynch him today if time gets tight and we can't decide on a good scum candidate."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Large wall catch-up incoming – if you want to bitch about it tough luck. Reading isn’t hard.

@Mod – is Pine still in this game?
--
Zinger, in my mind, is an acceptable lynch at deadline if we can’t agree on Mafia candidate. Claimed Third Parties don’t benefit Town – see AGM’s Choose Your Side Large Theme game for what happens when Town gave 3rd Party Parama a free pass.
Zinger’s specific claimed Third Party is either very Anti-Town (via permanently blocking a Town Power-role) or potentially a big threat to the scum team.
Meransil on the other hand is a VI who has adopted the “Hey, if I go out of my way to look scummy people will see I’m Town” style of play and is doing a bad, bad job of it. I’d rather that Meran get vigged if it comes down to either Meran or Zinger at deadline.

All the Hydra-head talk is bad. Whether Hydras sign posts or not is irrelevant unless you are a huge believer in following Meta. I’m not. What I am is a strong believer that Hydra Dissonance (regardless of head claiming or not) is a strong scum tell. Examples of that popping up will draw my votes like lightning. Such as this

Silver wrote:Magna gives an ultimatum... that doesn't seem to good.
Elaborate. What is bad about forcing a player to answer in thread questions that are VERY pertanent to getting a read via threatening to vote them? Also I like how you carefully made sure not to say for certain it was scummy but intimated it. Good work with the soft accusation. And by good work I mean scummy.
Isn't this effectively what you are doing with your "Vote Pine" push ... attempting to get contributions to the thread from him?
Silver wrote:I'm NOT digging magna's vote on vifom for replacing... it's always a null tell ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS.
No, it isn’t. All replace-outs are not the same. Go look at Sloth in Umbrage’s “Jungle Republic” and theplague42 in LMP’s “KGB Mafia” for examples. I can elaborate further but this looks like some “Hey, Junpei claimed Town PR” grandstanding to me.
Your lurker hunting in351is noted.
Silver wrote:Why are you picking Cherve when Pine is doing the same exact thing? Why don't you get bad vibes from him?
And the question applies equally to you. If Chevre was doing the same things as Pine why didn’t she make your Top 4 scum list?

I’m saying that Leonshade isn’t distancing from the wagon. He, in my mind, was fence-sitting. I disagree with Killer’s statement that Leonshade was distancing.
Distancing from the wagon is exactly what Pvt Slate (speaking of which … where did he go?) did … he called Junpei’s slot Town with no reasons why.
That clear things up?

Chevre wrote:Rereading this, it doesn't make sense from an individual standpoint. A wagon must consist of multiple players in this game, so the point couldn't have totally collectively been to gauge the reaction of other players, unless you're all some sort of hive mind.
Oh really? So you are saying I can’t make reads on reactions to a particular wagon as an individual based on who hopped on and who didn’t and why they didn’t?

Zinger wrote:Chevre's wall post strikes me as the kind of wall post a lurker scum would make after her scumbuddies prodded her and said "hey, you're lurking too much!"
I want to know why you are assuming scum have Daytalk to do such a “Prod”. Because the rules don’t state anything at all about Daytalk. Especially since Chevre was indeed Mod prodded.

If you guys disagree behind the scenes that’s understandable. But make no mistake … you aren’t Masons. You are a single slot. Posting contradictory reads is scummy as all get out.

As you say, disagreements could happen behind the scenes, but though they are one slot, they're surely better posting their own opinions too?
No, it's not. Because by posting conflicting reads in thread they are giving themselves an out for bad reads / results and to change their opinion about who is scum and who is Town whenever it suits them.
Go look at Macavitar in "Clash of Kings" Large Theme Mafia and Masterspy in "Return to Mordor" Mini Theme Mafia. Both hydras used that particular tactic to a tee in those games. And both were scum.
I'll elaborate on what the Zang-tell is if it becomes necessary. That was posted more for my needs than as something for people to run with."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Silver wrote:2. Pretty sure your ultimatum was "If you don't answer all my questions since page 5 and I'm not going to point out which they were.. i'm pushing for your lynch super hard misterr".

I want him dead or replaced, and even if he were to post I wouldn't give a damn. I still want him dead.
You need to look again because my Ultimatum was “Answer my questions at Post 170”. That’s hardly “since page 5”.

You’ve stated repeatedly why Chevre wasn’t scummy? Point me that way because I looked at your ISO and see nada on that front. I ISOed Silverdrummer and did a Control F search for Chevre. I all got was the post where you said “Why is Chevre scummy when Pine is just as bad?”

I'd like to suggest to all players that asking for others to be replaced isn't a good idea.
Mods have a hard time finding replacements when people ask for them. It's not very kosher to start removing players for behavior that individuals may not like as long as the don't violate site or game rules."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

@Chevre– Who is scum? By this point you should realistically have at least 3 to 4 possible candidates. Looking through your ISO I see many questions but little in the way of developed reads coming from those questions.

Pappums wrote:3. His roleclaim does not make sense. He claims that the person he JK's that is his target will be roleblocked for the rest of the game, when he is supposedly a jailkeeper.
This is terrible reasoning. Here’s what Zing-Troll claimed.
1. He’s a self aligned Jailkeeper.
2. He can jail any player only once.
3. He is looking for a specific player.
4. If he jails that player he leaves the game victorious and said player is permanently Role-blocked for the rest of the game.
Aside from all sorts of arguments about the viability of the role and flavor concerns the fact that you are playing ‘outguess the Mod’ here is not Pro-Town.

Silver wrote:1. Uhhh... is it law that hydras are supposed to have one solid thought? This is news to me... not sure how this is helping at all.
I’m going to give you a scenario that should help you explain why it is a scumtastic thing.
We have Player A. Player A votes for Player Z in a non-RVS fashion Day 1. Later in Day 1 Player A, in response to a question, says “I didn’t see the reasons for the wagon on Player Z at all”. Is Player A scummy for taking directly conflicting stances on Player Z?
Because regardless of whether you are a hydra or not you are one player – Player A. You as a slot are judged by the same standards as any other slot. You don’t get special dispensation to post in a dissonant manner in thread just because you are a Hydra.
You have conflicts between the heads? Resolve them in QT.

Ah the truth comes out. Guess what … I don’t give a rats ass if you don’t like Pine or not. Your little personal vendetta is quaint but stupid.
You can either replace out now or continue to try to get him lynched. Do so with your grudge as justification and you’ll probably eat rope sooner than later.

Ok ... more food for thought ...
I've been Neighborized by two seperate players today. Both have claimed the same mechanics behind how they Neighborize.
I've come to the conclusion that it is unlikely as heck that both are Town. One may be Third Party. One may be Scum. Both might be Scum.

Also, what do you think the chances are that both are town?

Actually one of the first questions to each Neighborizor was just that - "Why me". Both reasons seemed plausible enough.

Pappums wrote:We still prefer a Zinger lynch at this point though. His retraction of his third party claim makes it more likely that he is scum. Retracting such a claim is a survival -minded move. He should never have claimed third party as town, whilst it makes some sense for a third party player who is survival oriented to say WHATEVER THE HELL IT TAKES to stay alive, and we *might* see him doing a third party claim as scum, hoping to buy time. We don't think the 'permanently roleblocked' thing is the sort of thing a town gambiter would come up with off the top of his head. The most likely thing is he is actually third party, with an outside chance of being scum. Also, if the town is NOT going to lynch him, then it needs to commit to NEVER lynching him (barring investigation) and hoping for a vigging. This is important - any later day, we will have more info than today, so lynching Zinger will have a higher opportunity cost.
Hey, weren’t you the slot banging on me for pressuring Vifam as it was violating your “Newbie escalator” theory earlier? Yeah, you totally were.
Yet you are hammering Zinger (who should obv qualify for said Newb status IMO) for flailing around just like your theory explicitily states Newb Town would do. If you were being consistent about your ‘theory’ you should recognize that. But nope … you don’t and instead push using nice flowery language like “opportunity cost”

And then said fake-claiming player would be locked into making a believable claim, subject to potential testing via Cops / Trackers / Watchers / etc or counter-claims. Day 1 is not the Day to lynch a claimed Town PR.

vollkan wrote:My point is that the role he claimed first up was an anti-town role. He gets pressured and, after a number of contortions, claims town JK, under the pretext of a gambit. If he'd claimed mafia or SK and then backflipped with a "lol, sorry - gambit", he'd have been lynched five pages ago. Every action he is taken since his initial claim is referable to a survival motive. Thus, we have an anti-town motivation and the absence of any town motivation.
Survival mode isn’t more likely to come from only scum. Sorry, a Town PR is just as likely to enter survival mode after a grandly stupid move because lynching them is very damaging to Town. You’ve been around to have seen this and that you still are pushing it as a scum-tell based on your own personal standard troubles me.
What do you think of Pappum’s “Newbie Escalator” theory?

So please, stop trying to make out as though my sole reasoning was "lulz revealed role".
I read posts chronologically when I am doing my responses.
Either you screwed up your linking or I am not seeing what your point is.
At ISO 43 (post 694) you ask the question that both Meran found scummy.
Two of your own posts later is ISO 45 (post 697) where you said the following –
Can someone give me a quick overview of what a Neighbourizer is by the way? I can take a rough guess, but I don't see it on the wiki..
No mention of the phrase “hit post too early” in that entire post.
Two posts after that is ISO 47 (post 47) where you say the following …
What flavour/mechanics did they give you for it? Even if you don't name them, the differences might hint towards the non-town, assuming they aren't both Town..
All I see in that post is you expanding on reasons it would be good for me to out one of my contacts in thread.
Your first link goes to post 744 which is well after the post that Meran specifically said he found suspicous (694). The second one reflects on post 746. Could you try to explain how those are relevant to my and Meran’s observations that you were role-fishing in 694?"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

How exactly you can quote post 742 in relation to post 694 is beyond me, given that in 741, Zel1nk says, and I quote, "If you're going to vote for Zinger, tell me which part of this line of thinking you disagree with and why." That is what 742 and 744 were in regards to. 746 was in regards to Zel1nk's response, post 745.
Great. Way to not answer the question at hand with a large swath of numbers.
Here’s the relevant facts –
At post694you posted the following –
And also, are you willing to tell us the names of the people who've neighbourized you? I'm inclined to agree that both aren't likely to be town, so by having the two names we can analyse who's more likely to be non-town..
This is role-fishing, IMO, in trying to narrow down the pool of suspects for other Power roles.
At709Meransiel correctly identifies it as suspect posting with this …
I don't like this at all.
Vote: david Xanatos
At803I specifically agree with Meran with the following …
Meran earns Town cred for this post. Because he’s not liking what is probably an example of “role-fishing by proxy”.
That’s the issue at hand. Your trying to link it to a number of other posts is irrevant to the discussion and scummy, IMO.

During that time I have EXACTLY two posts on MS.

One at Thursday July 21 at 11:09 pm EST in the same sign-up thread.
Both of which was made via my Android phone. None of which were made in actual game threads.
Any reason you specifically fabricated the 2 game posts and 2 mystery posts above? Because time-stamps prove that you are making that up.

I love the attempt to be all insulting. You are very impressive with your insulting rhetoric. It’s rather pointless on your part, but feel free to keep it up if it makes you feel superior. Especially if you are going to flip scum!
DavidX wrote:YOU quoted my post number 742 in your post 803.
I see … so you are saying you were not responding to me calling you (correctly, I’m guessing) scummy re Meransil. Ok. Let’s review 742.
I'm not going to unvote Zinger yet because as a player, he's openly lied to town, and in doing so, assuming he is telling the truth (which I still have doubts on), has revealed a Town power role with little to no reason.
And now let me look at the post that ‘clears’ you of making no sense at 744 …
Hit post too early, meant to hit Preview so I could get onto the more detailed posting screen..
His play in general has been based entirely around deception until this point, no matter what his alignment turns out to be.. I'm inclined to cite "The Boy who cried Wolf" to be honest.. he claims neutral JK, then Town Doc, then Neutral JK again, and now Town JK.. at this point, frankly I don't see why we should believe the claim anymore..
In addition, even before he claimed "self" he even responded to an inquiry as to why he was holding his opinions back with "And if I'm not Town?"
I won't even touch on the "elitist" tirade, as I've not been around long enough to have any serious views on it, but it's a rather glaring red rag to a bull.. so to speak.. insulting an entire community isn't exactly going to help the game.
Ok. What’s your point? It isn’t good Town play to lynch a claimed Town PR, regardless of how stupid and badly he got to that claim, Day 1. It just isn’t. Especially since in context he hasn’t been counter-claimed by anyone saying “Hey, I’m a Town Roleblocker / JK”.
Any attempt to justify doing so is either stupid Town play or scum play.
DavidX wrote:. Might I ask where you are accusing me of "fabricating" posts? Because I count six. Once again, two between my initial post and my own follow up, and four more times before you finally responded.
Oh, so you agree that I posted only twice between your initial response and when you said “MoI hasn’t responded”. Those would be the phone posts in the Queue thread.
Four more times before I responded here? How many of them were in THIS game?
None.
I have multiple games I am playing. The order I post in them is based on any number of factors. That you are trying to say that somehow posting in OTHER games is avoiding the response is scumtastic.
My vote is nicely put where it is.

Pinky-Hop wrote:Magna - You seem to imply that there are better solutions for "punishment for early revealing a Town Powerrole", and that David's paticular solution is scummy. Am I interpreting this correctly?
Yes, it is scummy to directly conclude that the best solution to the problem of an early revealed Town PR is to lynch them.
Pinky-Hop wrote:David is right that MoI posted elsewhere, but MoI is right that it's not scummy in the faintest.
No, he isn’t right. He claimed I posted 6 times elsewhere between those two posts. As I demonstrated I only posted twice. It can’t be any more clear cut than that.

DavidX wrote:Are you seriously suggesting that we should be expecting someone to claim Scum when pressured to claim?
Here's a little thought for you sparky, everyone put under pressure D1 is going to claim a PR.
Of course I’m not expecting that. Don’t try to put words in my mouth in an effort to discredit my position. That’s scummy.
Day 1 it is a detriment to lynch a claimed Town powerrole. Period.
And as I have stated – even if they are fake-claiming scum they’ve locked themselves into a claim that can be proven fake in any number of ways including investigations and direct counter-claims. You seem to want to gloss over this fact.
DavidX wrote:MoI > Why did you tell us about the two neighbourisers if you had no intention of giving us any details? All non-Town factions now have more information thanks to you, while Town is unable to do anything with the same information.
You seem to forget that information can be shared INSIDE the Neighborhood. Both Neighborizors know the identitiy of the other, as will anyone they chose to Neighborize in the future. This means that when I die there is little chance the information that could benefit Town is lost. If I die others will be able to cooberate this fact. If the scum attempt to take out a Town Neighborizor they run the risk of losing their role or being discovered via the existence of a leak.
The specifics of the mechanics aren’t helpful in any way at all to possibly outguess the mod and find scum. The methods and limits to their abilities are EXACTLY the same (at least from the information I have gotten). No possible upside to divulging them currently.
DavidX wrote:MoI > Leant Town on him to begin with, but his persistent tunneling and misquoting of my posts, and attempting to twist the context of said posts has dragged me back to neutral on him. Loathe to go into further detail while I await further response, but he's V/LA, so that's on the back-burner for now.
So this I don’t get. If I was being as actively scummy as you claim why you don’t ACTUALLY have a scum read on me is baffling.
DavidX wrote:In addition, how exactly can you "scumhunt" in RVS? The very definition of RVS is poking people to see the responses.. as you've seen with my exchanges RE: MoI,when I get personally involved in something, I tend to focus on it rather heavily..therefore, my sitting back and observing is my way of trying to catch things that I would otherwise miss.
In regards to the bolded – you knock me in the above quote for ‘tunneling’ but are using that exact behavior as a Town tell in your case. Please resolve this dichotomy please.

Zinger is a relative newcomer to MS and your attempts to downplay that are noted.
Anyone who has read SuperHero Mafia that wanted to realistically argue that Zinger did a ‘Good Job’ scum hunting when he never shot Scum and constantly butted heads with / ignored me (who did catch scum aplenty) is either likely scum or stupid.

It’s not twisting your reasoning. You are trying to split hairs on what ‘level’ of inactivity in this game while being active elsewhere is scummy.
For the record this isn’t the only game Pine is “active flaking” from. So this game isn’t the sort of isolated incident that would indicate it is a Scum-tell unless he is scum in every game where it is happening.

I never said Zinger did a "good job" of scumhunting, I said "he did some pretty decent scumhunting". By this I meant he was actively scumhunting and contributing to the game, not that he was "raping da scumz".
Butting heads with you and ignoring you does not mean he wasnt scumhunting in that game.
You are splitting hairs as to what consititues a ‘Newbie’ in a way that makes me very suspicious of your defense of Vifam / Junpei.
Please provide me with post numbers that showed Zinger doing “decent scum-hunting” in Superhero Mafia. I don’t recall anything but some OMGUS accusations Day 1 and a string of mostly bad / unacceptable Vig shots.
Pappums wrote:Could everyone please tell me in what order they rank the following possibilities:
Sure, I’ll rank them if you can tell me what good this little exercise is to scum-hunting. You don’t even bother to ask for a weighting of those options.
And please justify why, under minimal pressure, you think Scum would ACTIVELY claim Third Party as Zinger did. I’d really like to hear the logic that places 2 as a viable option.

He’s using the “I’ll go concessionary and hope people say “Scum never do that” to get me off the lynch” route. That I've seen used by scum before. Could he be doing it as Town? Certainly possible. Thus it’s Null and doesn’t absolve him of the rest of his play.

The scum motive: really to avoid getting lynched, and at the moment, its working for him.
No, I don't have to do anything. Your slot has basically power-lurked through the game and only posted anything close to reads when prodded angrily with a stick. You don't get to be indignent when I don't hop to your requests when you aren't a Town read. Town working with other Town reads is how things get done.
That's not a valid scum motive - He posted his third party claim BEFORE coming under significant fire. That claim itself is what touched of the conflagartion in thread that put him up as a viable lynch. You can't say his motive for claiming 3rd Party as he did (as scum) was to survive when just not claiming anything would have been infinitely a better move.

Junpei wrote:Not a misrep. He says that he did what he did so that he, the jailer, wouldn't be the target of night kills. What this would do is increase the odds that a nightkill hits on an information role, thus he must believe that the odds of his safety are more important than the odds of our however many informative roles' safety. Not to mention if he could have just made himself not a scumtarget instead of screwing over town this way (if he's town).
It is absolutely a mis-rep. It is a scummy and farcical argument to try to call say that his possible DERP-gambit creates significantly greater danger for Town information roles (unless they were scummy enough to have to out themselves as your slot did).
Let’s run some numbers to show you why that’s the case ….
The game starts with 27 players. Let’s say for the sake of argument that we have 1 scum team of 7 members (reasonable number and maximizes the possibility of damage you assert having a single strong Scum team as opposed to Mutli-scum).
So there are 20 non-Mafia players. In that 20 non-Mafia players let’s say for the sake of argument we have 2 Information roles. Absent Zinger’s DERP-gambit scum has a 2/20 random chance of hitting one of those roles (10%).
Zinger makes his claim and theoretically makes himself a non-target for the scum who only Information role hunt and don’t have any other motivets (which is also an absurd premise). This means that they have a 2/19 chance of hitting and Information role, or a 10.5% chance. So the effect of Zinger’s DERP-gambit (if he is Town, of course) is increasing the random chance of scum hitting town by 5%.
Hardly the smoking gun your mis-rep seeks to portray.

Yes I know that it barely hurts info roles possibility of death, even if there are more than 2 info roles, but the thing is that he is basically saying that JK is more important than those, which I disagree with. By that logic I could see doctor doing this maybe, but JK? We don't want JK on information roles because they won't get information. I'd gladly have JK take the hit than plain doctor roles, info roles, mason roles, or pretty much any other town non-VT. I don't see how you wouldn't.
No, he didn't say that. You keep throwing that out there. Point me to where Zinger said "My role is more important than Information roles". Unless you can then that's you just putting spin on your perception.
If he is Town is was a phenominally stupid move. That's clear.
So now you are moving the goalposts. Now it isn't the fact that it increases the chances of Information role death but that it isn't an optimal play. When you decide where you want your argument to land let me know so I can assess whether you are continuing to mis-rep or portray things in an incorrect light.
Junpei wrote:And to what you said @HipAdd, I could see third party/scum do this as a poor gambit, we don't know the scum PR roles, we don't quite understand their planning process yet so we can't assume that they wouldn't do that.

So it would even be a poor gambit as 3rd Party / Scum? Then why is it a scum tell if regardless of the alignment of said gambitter it is a dumb move? Explain that to me."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

I think you need to read my post, nice try smartass.
I read your post. I asked you to provide a logical scum-motivation for his play. What you gave was some vague, unsubstantiated statement about how you did it also. I'm still waiting for solid scum-motivated play that isn't DERPtastic. Because unfortunately DERPtastic play comes from all alignments. Based on the individual player's level of DERPness."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Ignoring the game-relevant body of the post, commenting only on the concluding aside, then coming to the conclusion that there's no scumhunting going on?

Actually his position is meaningless in the context of the likely set-up. It's not a scum-tell of course but doesn't do Town ANY GOOD AT ALL to say "Hey, maybe something likely randomly generated lined up nicely to flavor". It might have. But discussing it at this point is just fluffing.
Which was the whole point of my response. Thanks for not getting it.
You reaction here ... to scream "Straw-Man" when I point out yet another post of yours that lacks scum-hunting and is fluff-tastic is telling.
I've reviewed your ISO.
It's pretty much described as follows -
1. Defend Vifam with "Newbie Escalator" (or whatever the name is) theory argument.
2. Take a soft swipe at Chevre as a lurker.
3. Latch on Zinger and never budge.
4. Make lots and lots of "Game Theory" posts that don't contribute a hoot to scum-hunting.
If you wish to assert I'm wrong feel free and we can discuss."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

I said i've seen it, where the fuck did you get that i have done that?
I didn't bother to respond because frankly I'm not going to. If you can't think up a viable, realistic scum motivation to make a play then it is AT WORST a Null tell. I didn't even bother asking you in the first place. I'll have to remember who it was I asked originally.
Oh that's right it was Pappums ...hey Pappums care to respond?
Ok ... where have you SEEN a Mafioso under minimal pressure Day 1 unbidden claim 3rd Party as a survival mechanism. Link me. Because that's the dumbest survival technique I have ever seen and you trying to pass it off as a valid scum motivation means you either aren't thinking it through or are scum faking scum-hunting."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

You do understand that this is a pretty absurd statement since if Zinger is a Jailkeeper he could just as easily Jail Zel1nk to ‘remove’ said threat and pressure, right?

No, the initial request was to Pappums in questioning why his request to show Town-3rdParty-Scum in order regarding Zinger was anything other than busywork.

Oh, so your stance is some variation on a Policy lynch stance since you don’t support gambit claiming.

Rodion wrote:Are you saying there are 2 neighbourizors in the same neighbourhood, not 2 distinct neighbourhoods?
No. There are two Separate and distinct players who during the day today have recruited me into separate Neighborhoods. The mechanics by which they claim to Neighborize are identical, at least as far as they have shared so far.

Pappums wrote:1. Why it is possible that Zinger's claim is a scum gambit.
Firstly, your assertion that he was not under pressure is false. He had four votes, was tied for the lead, and two of those votes had accrued pretty quickly whenhe first hinted he might not be town.
No, that’s absurd. 4 votes when 14 are required to lynch is hardly significant pressure. In a game this size you can fall into 4 votes via RVS quick as a blink. Being tied means that at least one other person was under the same ‘level’ ( I use the term loosely) pressure so that hardly causes a rational player to panic.
In context 4 votes is less than 1/3 of the votes required to vote today. Put into context of a 13 player game …. it would be the equivalent of making his claim with 2 votes Day 1. Hardly pressure at all.
The bolded actually further undermines your argument. You state he got half of those 4 mighty votes for hinting he wasn’ Town. Thus outright claiming 3rd Party isn’t a good survival tactic for scum to use if hinting you were not Town earns you votes.
Question– why would scum even hint they were not Town, as you report, in the first place?
Pappums wrote:Secondly, the benefits to scum of pulling such a gambit are fairly obvious. If his third party claim is believed and he is not lynched, he gets away with going through the game not saying anything relevant. That is an obvious boon to scum. In addition, he probably protects himself from any potential rival scumgroups or SKs that might be floating around.
You are arguing that it’s beneficial to scum to pull a gambit Day 1 that resulted in a massive wagon because on the off-chance it works they may be able to slide by through the game. That’s absurd logic. The risks in that scenario outweight the rewards greatly whenin a Large game means he was much more likely to skate by for days even if he active lurks.JUST NOT CLAIMING 3RD PARTY
Not putting yourself on the radar as any sort of Target so trumps actively making yourself a Lynch and possible SK / Other Mafia target (since the SK or Other Mafia, if they exist, can’t know that they aren’t the subject of Claimed 3rd party JK’s search).
Pappums wrote:Thirdly, we believe it is not necessarily the case that he knew his third party claim would bring him heat. On Xylbot, survivors tend to claim first post and are usually ignored from there. Without greater familiarity with EpicMafia, it's hard to say if it's the same, but it certainly could be. Either way, if he knew that third party claimants usually get lynched, he likely doesn't claim third party as any alignment, that would just be ridiculously stupid.
So you are using conjecture about Xylbot and EpicMafia (neither of which Zinger has indicated he has ANY exposure to) as support for your argument. No, that doesn’t fly.
Pappums wrote:Fourthly, the 'Claim Doc' part of his string of claims doesn't make sense from the 'avoiding NK' perspective, and is dangerous for town (possibility of counterclaim outing real doc) whilst useful for scum (same reason) and is not much more likely to keep you alive than merely a town JK claim.
First off my reading of the ‘Doc’ claim was a frustrated joke by Zinger. When it was made his ‘gambit’ had blown up in his face and he was being sarcastic, IMO.
Second that you didn’t bother to worry about a counterclaim from a Town blocking role (RB / JK) but only worried about a Doc counterclaim rings false.
Pappums wrote:Fifthly, the Pappums head of this hydra has played with Zinger as a town power role before, and in that game, as we said previously, appeared to put a good amount of effort into his scumhunting. That he isn't doing that here could speak to a difference in motive. Pappums head strongly feels you twisted his words by interpreting 'decent scumhunting' as being excellent or incisive as opposed to sincere or noticeable. Fonz head thinks your interpretation was a reasonable misunderstanding, but the fact remains that is not what we meant. Believe us or not, really. Still, we don't think you've really engaged with the point that we wouldn't expect a player who's shown himself to be sober and competent as a town PR in another game to act like a massive derp as town PR in this game.
I went to Superhero Mafia (and I find it frightening that the entire game was only 57 pages long) and the Neighborhood QT we were in together to pull quotes from Pappums about Zinger that game. Here is everything I found –
Pappums ISO 4 wrote:Second, Zinger is entirely wrong about not being told you are roleblocked, no one ever gets told they are roleblocked on this site (AFAIK). He has said nothing about what action he may have taken that, in it's absence, would let him know if he was roleblocked, and until he does it says nothing about diddin.
..
I agree with Reck that the diddin wagon is bad, Zinger, Meransiel, and dana all have bad reasons for being on this wagon.
Hmmm. Bad reasons for being on a wagon is decent scum-hunting?
Pappums ISO 5 wrote:Bad reasoning for being on the diddin wagon. People do not get told if they are roleblocked.
This is a response to Zinger’s original diddin vote and outlines his reasoning.
Pappums ISO 7 wrote:Ah, I see now. I had misread this post originally. So it looks like diddin is almost-confirmed scum after all, unless Zinger is lying. There would not really be any reason for Zinger to lie in this situation though, so I believe him. Short days are good for scum, and there is still plenty of scumhunting to be done on this day, so I will not vote him at this point.
Here Pappums clues into why Zinger wasn’t lying (he wasn’t) and reverses his read.
That is the full extent of Pappum’s in-game ISO regarding Zinger. Here is his thread post game comment to Zinger.
Pappums ISO 17 wrote:Zinger, people are rarely reported for making insults, especially against someone like GreyICE. Less QQ plox. And it doesnt help that you didnt own up to your bad vig shots either. Accepting the criticism of others is an important part of becoming a better mafia player, and all you did was shrug off everyone's comments on your kills and convinced yourself that everyone else was wrong. DK was a fair vig shot and Meransiel wasnt awfully terrible, but GreyICE and dana were terrible, terrible vig shots.When there is a group of people who were decent choices like we had in this game and you choose players like those, who were obvtown like GreyICE and a softclaimed PR like dana, you should expect some criticism.
IMO this hardly looks like a player who thought Zinger did a competent job scum-hunting. In fact the bolded portion strongly indicates he thought Zinger was outside the group of players making 'decent' choices.
No significant posting in the Neighborhood QT at all from Pappums re Zinger.
So, is this “Zinger did a decent job” a retrofit or what?
Pappums wrote:Seventhly, as a result of Khan's game of mafia, where Iamausername as scum deliberately lied in such a way to make it look like a town gambit in order to gain towncred, Fonzhead is incredibly reluctant to suffer any known liar to live.
Hmmm, what happened to Sixthly?
Give me specifics here? Did Iam claim in a similar manner?
Are you seriously suggesting that Zinger’s gambit was made in a way to appear like a Town gambit? If anything Silver’s “He’s a better lynch than me” screams “Get me Cred” posting much more than ANYTHING Zinger has done.
You Policy Stance (which is basically a modified version of Lynch All Liars / Gambiters) is noted.
You have convinced me of one thing. That my vote needs to move.

That's a pretty big "if", though. Imo Zinger is hostile/neutral third party more likely than scum based on his play here. I don't understand the point nor the possible win condition of a nonaligned Jailkeeper (please, point out if I'm wrong here) so I think he's lying about his role entirely.
Ok, so you think he's scum who made a completely fake Jailkeeper claim (ignoring the alignment element for the moment). What was his motive? And why make the claim when he did as scum?
The point of 3rd parties with alternate win conditions is to throw in some chaos into the balance of the set-up."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Pappums wrote:Sorry, is your argument that Zinger is a rational player? Also seriously, what part of 'Leading wagon' did you not understand?
No, my argument is that Zinger is a self-admitted DERP who made a stupid move (regardless of his alignment) and you seem to be attributing ONLY scum motivation to it. And that I don't lynch uncounter-claimed Town PRs in Large Games Day 1.
I laugh at the second line. You posted the following later in your response –
What the fuck? How is this kind of argument even relevant to anything, apart from mudslinging? I think what happened is I thought of another point i wanted to insert, so changed sixthly to seventhly and left a gap, then forgot what it was by the time i'd finished that point.
You can’t be ‘outraged’ about mudslinging when you actively do it yourself. Nice double standard you have going there guys.
Pappums wrote:No, that isn't what we said. We said he already had four of those votes when he first hinted he might not be town. That's clearly what 'He had four votes... when he first hinted he might not be town' means.
No, that’s not what you said. I’ve requoted your exact words and bolded the part where you directly say he acquired two of those votes AFTER hinting at anti-Town.
Firstly, your assertion that he was not under pressure is false. He had four votes, was tied for the lead,and two of those votes had accrued pretty quickly when he first hinted he might not be town.
You can’t double back on that. It is clear as day what you originally said.
Pappums wrote:I'm confused. Why would town even hint they were not town? It's at least as stupid for town as it is for scum.
For a dumb-ass gambit. I see Fate derp it up directly claiming scum as Town all the time. It’s stupid as hell but it happens.
Pappums wrote:1) You're assuming he knew it would result in a massive wagon. If he knew it was going to result in a massive wagon, I don't think he does it as any alignment. Clearly, he must have thought that claiming third party would defuse some of the pressure on him.
And you are saying that active lurking would get him a massive wagon when this game is rife with lurkers and active lurkers. I’m sorry, but I’ll stand by my belief that it’s so vastly ludicrous a play to gambit as he did. And once again, he only really got momentum of votes once he hinted / claimed to be Not Town.
Pappums wrote:2) He was getting directly pressured for active lurking. He'd just gained two votes in quick succession. Someone had threatened to vig him in a manner that, at least, wasn't entirely clear it wasn't serious. The idea that he would definitely get away with it sounds like a huuuuuuuge stretch.
Not nearly the HUUUUGGGGE stretch you are making by saying claiming 3rd party is a viable ‘defense technique’.
And are you seriously suggesting that Zel1nk’s Vig claim should be taken seriously?
Pappums wrote:3) If you're town in that position (trying to active lurk to look a little scummy) and you start feeling the heat, would it not be better just to start doing a little scumhunting to relieve the pressure?
Of course it would. Are you saying that by making a sub-optimal play he must be scum?
Pappums wrote:4) The result of the gambit, if it 'worked' IE didn't result in him getting pushed to death's door, would be allowing him to go on active lurking like a mofo. There is a scum motive for that. There is a third party motive. There is no town motive.
No, that’s stupid. The proper play for scum in that position is just the same as Town … do a little (faked) scum-hunting. The gambit is inordinately stupid and doomed to fail.
Pappums wrote:Again, in what way is this not true for a town power role? If your motive is to preserve your role so you can help the town at night, doesn't 'Not making yourself a target' seem like the best move there, too? You've not presented ONE reason why it would be UNIQUELY bad for scum to do that gambit that doesn't also apply to town.
Hey, speaking of making putting arguments in people’s mouths. I’ve claimed any of what you are saying above. It’s bad regardless of alignment.
You have not presented one UNIQUELY credible reason why it would be a good move for scum. Seriously your “If it works” argument ignores that it isn’t going to work in almost all situations.
Pappums wrote:We know, because Zinger has said as such, that he plays elsewhere.The majority of sites where mafia is played seem to have more in common with EM than here.You are assuming that he is thinking in a 'Mafiascum style' and would be aware that claiming third party would be most likely to result in his swift demise. I am arguing for the possibility that he thought claiming 3p would boost his survival chances. Because, again: SUICIDE IS NOT A GOOD MOVE FOR TOWN EITHER!
The bolded I disagree with 1000%. Most non-MS sites I see have more in common (gameplay wise) with MS than with EpicMafia.
As to suicide being not a good move for Town – why state the obvious?
Pappums wrote:Either you're being intentionally dense here or you're scum. How good someone's reasons are is irrelevant to whether or not they're scumhunting. Smart people have decent sounding reasoning as any alignment (you in this game being an obvious exception) dumb people have bad reasoning. As we have now explained twice, when Pappums said 'Decent scumhunting' he was talking about the fact that Zinger was making cases, taking stances etc. We have made it clear that he was not saying that Zinger's arguments in that game were good.
So yes, presenting cases and taking positions is 'decent scumhunting' even if the arguments themselves we disagree with.
In regards to the bold – Nice ‘insult the others intelligence to throw them off’ scum-tell. Thanks for that. It always makes my day when people have to go to that well.
You’ve ‘explained’ that twice. I’ve asked you to actually link / quote / reference posts in that game where you see evidence of scum-hunting. You’ve yet to do so.
Also I notice you dodge completely the rest of the quotes I posted where you DIRECTLY criticize Zinger’s play as bad post game. Nice.
Pappums wrote:Iam claimed in a massclaim to be a limited-shot cop. I called him on inconsistencies in his claim, and he changed to 'even night cop.' He later admitted that he was planning to switch to 'even night' all along, in order to look like a town player who was gambiting.
Oh, so the situation was not analogous to this one at all (ie Mass-claim assuming late in the day versus Day 1 before a single flip) and you are basically falling back on personal policy. Gotcha.
Pappums wrote:Since the Fonz head of this hydra is known to be the single most consistent advocate of lynch all liars on the site, we're not sure why this is a revelation. LaL is a good policy. People who lie about their roles are overwhelmingly scum.
This reminds me of Kingdom of Loathing Mafia where someone ran with what was they claimed was Fonz’s “Town Promise” policy that included not gambitting. It was then pointed out that the game in which said player had seen said policy Scum were the number 1 supporters of said policy and used it to win the game.
Strict policies are stupid. Sorry, they are. You only have to look no further than Superhero Mafia for evidence. I specifically mis-represented the nature of my role (I presented as a Tracker not a Cop) as a means of further trapping scum. And it was effective and successful. But no, under your policy I would have been lynched the Day I revealed I was gambitting and a Cop not a Tracker. That would have been an inordinately stupid play.

I mean hell, look, it may be because it is such a stupid thing to do, but in the end he convinced you that he is town because of his gambit. Isn't that interesting how it worked on a good number of you? Of course it's possible he's town, or even third party, but food for thought.
More food for thought – you do understand that anyone who disagrees with the wagon Day 1 doesn’t have to believe he’s Town right. I’m not certain at all whether he’s Town or Third Party. I just know it’s a bad move to lynch an un-counterclaimed Town PR (even if it was a stupid and elaborate path that got him to that claim) Day 1.

This Silver discussion I think is very warranted.
With Zinger's flip as Town the way that the Silver wagon briefly crested above Zinger's ( I think at 9 votes to 8 IRRC) and then dropped in favor of Zinger's final wagon is very telling if Silver is scum.
If he's scum there is a goldmine of scum to be found voting for Zinger during that swing period.
On the other hand if he's Town there is not much to be gained."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"
