My problem with this, other than the fact that it's completely unsound as a reason, is that Millar reasons that a self voter is likely to either be a power role or mafia.millar13 post 6 wrote:
Often a trait of either someone with a power-role or mafia.
Now... we only have 1 power role in this game, and it's a doctor. I see potential doc hunting with his pursuit of this vote.
Right now, I would like to know more about why Millar thinks a self vote is a trait of anything... other than the fact that it's generally considered bad play.-

How is self voting a good stance ever?millar13 wrote:I meant self-voting is not good on Day 1.
But can be considered to be a better stance to take later on in a game.
There is no contradiction there.
It doesn't elicit that I am anti-town, as the fact remains no one who is Mafia would actually divulge such a stance at this moment in time.-

It's just that reading those two quotes gave me the impression that he might know Millar is town, and is distancing himself from the lynch. (IMO, a millar lynch is inevitable. He's claimed scum, and pointed out his top doc suspect.)
I get weary of people who don't vote when they throw out bad town excuses, but pave the way for a "reluctant" vote later.
Preview: Empking hammered as I was posting this. I'm just going to throw it out there anyway in case I'm not alive tomorrow.-

Who were you voting for? I can't remember seeing a vote from you. (I saw an unvote higher on this page, but no vote between that one and this one...)AndyTony wrote:The Doc suspect is the only reason I wanted to keep Millar around - in case he's scum sending a line out to his partner.
After re-reading - I feel like Dejkha had it spot on in an earlier post regarding Millar being a pissed off towny who wanted a power role.
Killing Millar will hurt the town.
Unvote; FoS: Giuseppe
--Earlier, you attached yourself to Emp (through things rofl said) in an attempt to clear your name upon the result of his lynching (you being innocent if....XXX...) - it's way too early in the game, he hadn't done anything scummy, and I think you were trying to buy immunity through it.Giuseppe wrote:Millar's doomed himself. Can we please just hammer and be done with it?
--And I think most of us are smart enough to know when someone is a threat to the town or not - - Millar is a threat to himself. I find it suspicious that you would want to hang him so quickly - - It's more of a threat to the town, when townies are being killed willy nilly, and that's what your eagerness kind of gives me a vibe off
I think we can try and put up with Millars annoying antics until he truly works against the town.-

If he's scum trying to tell his partner about who he suspects is the doc, why the hell would we want to keep him around?!
Also, noting in bold that you have asserted with certainty that lynching Miller will hurt the town.-

You're the very definition of a fence sitter my friend.AndyTony wrote:this game has enough material for you to accurately quote and not paraphrase (poorly).
I thought he was town.
I thought he was scum.
I felt conflicted with both possibilities.
Enough was said by the others for me to consider and I voted him.
If I vote - It's because I think someone is scum.
And other people do matter, Empking, you can't stomp your foot like a child and toss your head - - other people matter and we rely on them for information, evidence, food for thought, and help when you need to clarify.
You just seemed to be sitting back, looking for an excuse to drop that little hammer, while looking for enough excuses that he was town to escape responsibility.
Indeed it seems like you were so convinced he was town... yet were convinced by others that he was scum?
So... basically, you let others tell you what to think? Why is this?
Shouldn't you have your own opinions, and your own suspicions?
Should you not have waited to drop the hammer if you were unsure of Millar?
Your actions seem to be in conflict with your statements.
Vote: AndyTony
I want a better explanation of your mindset yesterday.-

I have seen self-voting in RVS so many times it's actually starting to drive me crazy. But with all the times I've seen it, my experience has taught me to consider it a null tell.dejkha wrote:
Knowing what we know now, Millar was not doc hunting, but I'm curious as to how Zach didn't think Grimmy self voting was at all suspicious. I would think that a self vote would more likely be done by scum than anyone else, possibly to throw people off, so I don't see why he thought to go for millar right away rather than Grimmy, who he made no mention of. But seeing how Grimmy plays, it was probably was just a joke.

He's questioning your vote then saying why you shouldn't vote Gui.Also, if Emp is a matter of "when", why does your vote fall on Guiseppe more so than him? Guiseppe is a victim of what seems to be circumstance (for what you regard as just re-typing more or less what everyone else says).

Get over their squabbles, and give an opinion.

Personally after reading the first 200 posts or so, I'm curious to find out why Giuseppe reacted so defensively when Rofl suggested a possible Giuseppe lynch if Emp flips scum?
It's hard to fathom how his overreaction makes sense. He only has something to worry about if Emp is scum, and if he's town... that means a dead scum. I just don't get it.
But yeah, there's a lot of crap to read... and it's hurting my head. I'll probably have to read it again to make sure I am comprehending everything.-

Did you actively avoid the bandwagon as scum so that you could name off everyone on Millar's bandwagon and say OMG scum is on the wagon?Pablo Molinero wrote:Random things I’m think about this game:
millar13 - 6 - Zachrulez, madeofphail, Giuseppe, roflcopter, Cephrir, Empking, AT
These are who we should be looking at, admittedly I haven’t been active enough in this game, but I got one hellova bad vibe from the way things rolled along yesterday. Not gonna do a whole “told ya so” bit, but the likelihood of scum pushing this along is higher than average.
This looks scummy to me. It's also the kind of argument you can use to blend yourself as town, cause you can go back and say, "The wagon was scum driven and Look, I wasn't on the wagon."-

The problem with the way you reacted was that Emp being scum shouldn't bother you if you're town, because it means a dead scum. Who cares if it makes you more likely to be lynched? Besides, it's not like we'd just lynch you before considering anything you would have to say in your own defense in that scenario. It just seems like you grossly overreacted.Giuseppe wrote:@Zach- I was offended because I didn't think that there was anything conclusive enough about my behavior to warrant suggesting that if Empking were lynched, I would be the next obvious lynch. If Emp were scum, I'd be next in the firing line, when I was clearly defending him from just a quick lynch, not condemning his lynch permanently.-

Phail, is your theory to lynch empking to help give us an idea of whether or not the millar bandwagon was scum ridden?
I think I understand the argument you are making here to a point. That if Emp is scum, then both he and his buddy tacked their votes onto Millar acting in his own preservation.
Also that if Emp is town, it's less likely, but still possible, that the wagon was scum driven.
Do I have it right?-

Yes, our main objective is to find scum, and we don't find scum by no lynching.AndyTony wrote:I'm saying at this very moment - I feel it's no lynch because everyone is bitching about "wah wah wah, I want to lynch this person, they are ABSOLUTELY gone before day two" but I'm not seeing the votes, and I'm not seeing the EVIDENCE - - I'm seeing speculation.
We're focusing on "We have to lynch! We have to lynch"
And we're forgetting that our objective is "We have to find scum"
---------------------------------
No lynch at this very moment means we lose one towny instead of two.
I'm saying that FROM this very moment until deadline, I am STRONGLY hoping that we get evidence and a solid and responsible choice that means more to us than utility lynching.
My mindset of trying to lessen town expense is pretty bang on unless you can tell me RIGHT NOW who is scum and why, otherwise we're being IRRESPONSIBLE. Maybe I feel guilty about being responsible for the first mis-lynch but I will be damned if I'm the cuase of another one.
----------------
You raise a great point about the lurkers you listed - - Why not prod and investigate them instead of wager who is best to lynch "just in case" so to speak.-

2 posts from Andy followed this. Both focused on Millar.AndyTony (183) wrote:I think hammering this early in the game is irresponsible.
We should look for suspicion, not the obvious. The only obvious thing here is that millar plays poorly and is harmful to himself.
I find Guiseppe suspicious enough for us to simply talk to at this point. Let's get progressive conversation going.
Empking is someone who is LYNCHABLE but not SCUM-like (yet) - - that's very valuable to scum. If someone is going to be lynched, but isn't likely scum, they can make a statement like the above quote in an attempt to gain immunity when the person dies. "I'm innocent is XXX is found to be XXX" - it's too early for antics like that and it strikes me as scummyGiuseppe wrote:By your logic, if Empking comes up scum, I can't be town. Which couldn't be true, from my perspective, because I am a pro-town player. Thus, if I'm to agree with you, Empking must be town.
I'd like to hear everyone's thought on this. - I'm not looking for us to get torches and pitch forks or anything, but it's worth regarding more than this Millar character at the moment
Tag fixed.
I thought it important to point this out as he stated that he found it worth talking about Giuseppe over hammering... but then came back around 12 hours later to hammer despite saying that hammering that early in the game would be irresponsible.
So what happened to all that discussion on Giuseppe that you wanted on day 1? From what I see, you seem to have had far more interest in whether or not you should have hammered Millar. (Which is what I was focused on at the start of day 2. Completely missed the fact that you encouraged discussion on Giuseppe that never came because of your hammer until re-read.)-

He's been lurking, popping up and down from the radar, people pleasing, and now he's sitting on the fence trying not to have responsibility for the things he says.
Do we absolutely HAVE to lynch Emp today? I think a decent case can be made to lynching AndyTony instead. I am feeling more and more weary about him the more he posts.-

There you go pushing that scum driven wagon again.Pablo Molinero wrote:

Awful, awful, awful logic capitilizing on a minimalist (and annoying) player. Complete leap of logic and a bad reason.After this post, I think everyone should be voting for Emp...
Vote : Empking
The way I see it the post is Emp stating that he wasn't scum with Millar while implying that he's scum with someone else.
Also, when I suggested to look hard at the Day 1 wagon/voters, both Ceph and Zach become defensive (being on the wagon), but it was mostly dropped (my fault for low activity) when I asserted my claim that scum could be pushing the wagon. Anywho, the point is that their behavior is that kind of self-justification, self-preservation is unhelpful at best and scummy at worst.
Vote: Giuseppe
FoS: Zachrulez
Your position is logically flawed, because as scum, you have every motivation to lead the town to believe that the wagon was in fact scum driven, so that they'll never call you on your distancing from townie lynches.
FOS: Pablo
That said, if you're hypothetically scum, I wouldn't find it hard to believe that your scumbuddy was on the wagon... and really, what reason would you have to worry about him getting lynched? I mean, you're the one telling us it's scum driven, and you're the one who will tell us who to suspect right? Even if we don't listen to you, it's still a minimal risk, and validates your theory even if we did manage to hypothetically hit your scumbuddy...-

My thought here was if you were such a threat to Zwet, why wouldn't he NK you? Surely it's a lot easier than trying to lynch you.dejkha wrote:
Are you ever going to say why or are you just going to repeatedly quote what I said and say it's scummy? I wouldn't be surprised if Zwet flipped scum. I'm probably the biggest threat to him because I've, on many occasions, supported his and Emps utility lynch and I'm pretty sure every game I've found something scummy about him, so if he were scum it would make sense that he would want me out of the picture. I assume he would've done it better though.zwetschenwasser wrote:
Here's some more blatant dej scumminess.dejkha wrote:I understand your case, but the most I'll give him is an FoS for now.
I have seen him as a townie, directly implicate players based on nightkills alone however, so it would stand to reason that he might NOT NK you for fear of being implicated in the manner that he reasoned in this other game I played with him. (I can't link it because it's ongoing, but he was town in it.)
On the other hand though, something can be said for the fact that his hypothetical scum buddy would have some say over the NK as well, and would have pushed for your NK for the fact that you are seen as Zwet's biggest threat on the premise of the utility lynching.
Large bit of WIFOM in there. The truth of it is that Zwet's play has been quite unusual, especially today.-

WHAT?!AndyTony wrote:Zach strikes me as potentially being Zwet's scum partner
I wasn't really sure about his lynch. To be quite honest, I kinda went with the crowd on that lynch, and that post I attacked him for was my excuse for voting him to go along with the crowd. He was not my first choice for a lynch, but my posts were generally being ignored and buried 1-2 pages deep and forgotten in a matter of hours. I've been classified a lurker. I was pretty close to the point of not caring at that point in the game.AndyTony wrote:

I regret not pushing other leads harder. Have to live with the Emp lynch now I guess.
Well yeah, but I made no real active effort to derail the lynch for bogus reasons or no reason whatsoever, and I haven't made any effort to blame anyone for the lynch. (Which is the usual follow through for scum.)AndyTony wrote:He seemed to have forgotten that he himself had a vote on Emp at the time, Emp was at L-1, and I was NOT the only person pushing for a hammer.

The way I see it the post is Emp stating that he wasn't scum with Millar while implying that he's scum with someone else.
Vote: Giuseppe
FoS: Zachrulez
Zach has flawed and slightly hypocritical logic once more in what I feel is an OMGUS FoS on Pablo (who I might point out dies later in the night).Zachrulez wrote:
There you go pushing that scum driven wagon again.
Your position is logically flawed,because as scum, you have every motivation to lead the town to believe that the wagon was in fact scum driven, so that they'll never call you on your distancing from townie lynches.
FOS: Pablo
That said, if you're hypothetically scum, I wouldn't find it hard to believe that your scumbuddy was on the wagon... and really, what reason would you have to worry about him getting lynched? I mean, you're the one telling us it's scum driven, andyou're the one who will tell us who to suspect right?Even if we don't listen to you, it's still a minimal risk, and validates your theory even if we did manage to hypothetically hit your scumbuddy...
----------------------
Zach hopped on the Emp wagon - - got pissed at me who was ALSO on the wagon and said I should be lynched (didn't elaborate) - - then was inquired by Pablo, to whom Zach calls scum (once again doesn't elaborate) and Pablo later dies in the night.
I think Zwet's buddy might be Zach
I never got a chance to elaborate cause moron Zwet dropped the hammer... oh yeah, I guess that makes him my buddy.
Oh I love these hammers that cut off discussion before I have a chance to make my case or unvote, or explain anything... and now apparently it's damning evidence that I'm scum with Zwet.
Whatever.
Also in rebuttal to my post against Pablo. You don't really understand the termHypotheticaldo you?-

You do realize that if we mislynch today and there's no doc protect, tomorrow is potentially lylo right?
Zwet's difficult to read and often makes NO sense as town, and is generally frustrating to play with.
But to hell with that, just lynch him right? I mean why not? We've already lynched Emp and Millar!-

Yeah, I was considering doing exactly that when Zwet hammered... I hate this game.AndyTony wrote:
That's what I'm saying - If you were unsure, why not voice more on it and pull him off L-1? You're complaining about a hammer ending your line of thoughts and magically clearing your suspicions the next day? You ARE allowed to voice suspicions the next day, you know -and you could have bought your OWN time by taking him off L-1Zachrulez wrote: I wasn't really sure about his lynch. To be quite honest, I kinda went with the crowd on that lynch
Like I said, I never got a chance to explain. I will... eventually, but right now I hate this game and can't be bothered to do the analysis. Once I get around to doing my analysis on you, I am going to try to analyze everyone else in the game as well... because you know, lylo doesn't really appeal to me.AndyTony wrote:He seemed to have forgotten that he himself had a vote on Emp at the time, Emp was at L-1, and I was NOT the only person pushing for a hammer.
Then why turn attention away from a wagon we were both on, and say I would be the best lynch without giving any reasons?Zachrulez wrote:Well yeah, but I made no real active effort to derail the lynch for bogus reasons or no reason whatsoever
Not dropping it. I will explain my suspicions, do analysis, and help the town as best as I can. Like I said, I hate this game, and am getting quickly fed up with the one liner back and forths that are 10-20 posts long that don't motivate me to read the few content posts within the fighting that doesn't help anything at all. Everytime I make an effort to try to understand what is going on, there's a whole new barrage of posts to go through. It's very frustrating. (I do have other games that don't even come CLOSE to this pace.)AndyTony wrote:

You're hypocritical because you defend having a statement about poor logic WITH poor logic.
Are you suggesting that all of yoru thoughts and suspicions and seemingly non-existent evidence goes away after a hammer and the next day you drop it?
I'm constantly behind trying to catch up. In order to do so I will need to set aside a LOT of time to do a LOT of analysis.
All I've asked is to be given the time to do all this.
It's up to you guys I guess. You can let me try to make my own kind of sense about this game so far...
Or you can just keep lynching.-

I'm not saying that we should ignore Zwet's behavior. I'm just saying we shouldn't quickly condemn him as scum and lynch him. I personally think he requires analysis, a lot of analysis. It is also possible to figure out what he's thinking if you push the right buttons and ask the right questions (though admittedly frustrating.)AndyTony wrote:I admire the passion, but it seems to be firing up with Zwet which only feeds my concern.
Take your time, but know that you've had it in the past as well as the power to make time for yourself by taking that vote of Emp.
-----------------------------------
I can understand your frustration with this game, but understand my own frustration when a player like Zwet works through numerous games, building a meta on himself that will ultimately serve him (as it is now) as an immunity card
I don't think we should give into his immunity (which he's built nicely with a meta of being a shitty player)
How stupid would we feel if we ignore his current scumminess over that?
I don't want to lynch him on the same basis we lynched Millar and Emp, mainly because of the results that those lynches yielded. I want to do a full analysis, and feel relatively confident about casting a vote on him before I actually do it.
I also want to try to get a analysis on everyone else. We don't want to be giving players free passes for overlooked behavior at this stage in the game.-

I happen to have a few completed games that could be useful in helping us determine whether Zwet is being more consistant with the way he's playing as town or as scum.
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... c&&start=0 (Zwet is scum in this game.)
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... c&&start=0 (Zwet is town here.)
The thing I'm looking to do is read Zwet in isolation in both of those games, read him in isolation here, and try to determine whether his play is more consistent with town or scum.
I have a little bit of time to do that now. (Unlikely to finish though.)
But I thought it might be helpful to present it to everyone in order to help people be able to get a better read on Zwet. (Mainly cause I'm interested in lynching him for doing actions that are scummy by his own standards, and not just as a utility lynch.)
So yeah, I'm off to read now.-

Now, as I read back, I am seeing a very clear story from Zwet... and it's one that doesn't add up.zwetschenwasser 535 wrote:Vote: EmpkingAnd so dies uselessness...
I have just plucked 3 posts of him arguing that Dejkha was scummier than Empking on day 2, and then I plucked the hammer post.
The issue here is this. I've never known Zwet to play this way. As town he makes bad cases, refuses to listen to reason, does not understand the refutation of points against his cases, and continues to push them even after they have been effectively broken by better players, BUT, the one thing that isn't adding up here is Zwet not going after who he considers to be his top suspect. This is something I've always known him to do as town regardless of how in tune he is with the discussion going on in the game.
This was the one thing I was trying to put my finger on with his meta and the comments that his play has been unlike what I know of his play as town.
Vote: zwetschenwasser
I'll be doing analysis on everyone else, but I am comfortable enough at this point to vote for Zwet.-

So Emp's uselessness and your love for hammering trumped the fact that you found Dejkha more suspicious?
I hope you realize why that doesn't look very good for you...

I noticed from reading this post that it reads very much like AndyTony has some kind of suspicion on anyone but himself and Dejkha.AndyTony wrote:However, in all fairness - - how many cases have been ironclad at this point?
Phail based a number of his on hypothetical scenarios and I hadn't heard you complain -- nor complain when he and Dej made several suggestions of how person A could be scumbuddies with person B depending on circumstances changing.
What I mean by this is that we have all maintained evidence on different people at different times - however the cases change when the circumstance does.partof my evidence on you is yes, from an earlier case - however the circumstances just make more sense to me when applied with you and Phail instead of Zwet.
I figured this was better than nothing, and certainly more than a crapshot/straw grasp, you know? I'm sure everyone has looked at the new day on the board, and yet we've got little to no posting.
I still have Grimmy and Ceph to take consideration to - - I just want everyone's opinion, Zach.
Perhaps this is a serious whoops moment?
I'll have to do some reading. Phail has gotten far less attention from me in this game than he should have.-

So are we going to sit here and listen to you and Dejkha on yet another lynch while you go around and blame others for them flipping town?AndyTony wrote:Vote: MadeofPhail
Oh, and you realize if Phail ain't scum, scum can pretty much quick hammer, which is a town loss in lylo?
Just thought I'd mention that.-
