I want to love your reasoning on your defense of afatchic, Tajo, because that's just the type of stuff I love about mafia, but I can't. Logic like that only applies if what the subject did is generally consideredTajo wrote:Why would scum ask us something like that?
It only makes sense from a townie point of view wanting to increase the odds for his team or from a really calculating scum that could predict my reaction to it. Knowing afatchic, you already know what possibility Im discarding.

scummy. Talking about your vig target would generally be considered neutral or slightly pro-town, and looking pro-town is somethingeveryscum tries to do, so I don't see why you're placing afatchic as not capable of doing that.-

Lets play a little game.
What do you think is more probable?
a) Afatchic is town and asks us for a vig-target so he can maximize his odds of winning by asking others' opinions.
b) Afatchic is scum and instead of trying a defense he asks us for a vig-target to try to "look" protown.

Dont get me wrong. Afatchic could have done that as scum. The odds are low, though. Do you disagree?Call me Tajo.

Yes, I do. That's not tough WIFOM there, that's not a gambit, it's a simple do-this-because-it's-what-you-would-do-if-you-were-town. People can grasp something that simple in their first newbie game. If you're scum, try to look like town. You insisting afatchic is town based on that is completely ridiculous!Tajo wrote: Im really having a hard time imagining afatchic doing that to "look" pro-town.

These are the connections I see between afatchic and populartajo
-Tajo's votes afatchic in RVS then confirms his vote on him. Then afatchic gives rationale about being fearful that tajo would have been lynched in the first couple of posts. Tajo accepts this and moves on.
-Beginning with post 32, tajo is finished looking at afatchic as possible scum. Done. Post32.
-Beginning in post 49 tajo begins making excuses for afatchic.
-Post 82 afatchic declares tajo as pro-town.
-Post 86 afatchic says that tajo is scum-hunting.
-Post 90 afatchic says yet again tajo is protown
-Post 132: tajo says Afatchic is obvtown.
-Post 142: tajo defends afatchic suggesting it is not possible for him to have a master plan as scum because he is townie playing poorly. @tajo: I don't see it as a master plan at all...I see afatchic as scum playing poorly.
Various questions/comments directed at Tajo
In post 35 you said "I'm waiting for Slicey for next question". Did that next question ever come? I may have missed it?
In post 162 you say that "in the majority of my games there are town players playing poorly that become easy targets for scum, at least for one post". You are saying that but you are basing your whole case that afatchic is town on one post where he asks who he should vig. A total of one posts! You did the same thing on War in Heaven with Cybele. The only thing that I get from this is a meta from you that all someone has to do is say something very pro-town early in the game and you are done looking at them.
Analysis of afatchic's town game that tajo wanted me to read
This is the stuff I get from that game:
1) He tried to pull a town gambit. He put gecko @ L-1 to see if he would try to force a counter claim from one of the power roles. It was a good thought but poorly executed. I actually have more respect for afatchic based on this and I honestly think it weakens tajo's argument that afatchic is just a terrible player. So I
2) He has outbursts as town. That gives afatchic a minor townpoint since he had a little outburst in this game too.
3) Scumhunting. This gives afatchic big fat scumpoints in this game. He has yet to scum hunt. Period. My biggest reason for suspecting him. He at least scumhunted in that game. Show me where he has done it in this game? Again, tajo's argument that afatchic is town playing poorly is weakened.
Responses to tajo's post 202
Done.Can you read any game he plays as town, specially the ones I played with him?
Do you realize that you are asking me to ignore what I find suspicious and only look at what you find suspicious?I appreciate your effort but you dont have a case other than null-tells and things you consider scummy but that in my experience arent exact indicatives od scum
Yes. I am not sure I see the point?Have you ever been in a wagon of a townie playing poorly before?
Your questions were about experience and how someone scum-hunts. Those could have been just as easily made by scum.Could be the questions I made at the beginning, couldnt be?
I'm not dismissing your points, I just disagree with you and have been showing counter example after counter example. In mathematics (which I am minoring in) you cannot make a proof byLike you are doing?nnumber of examples that show it to be true but you can disprove by giving 1 counter example. I have given way more than that. I understand this is not mathematics but you get the analogy I hope.
Responses to tajo's post 209
Have you ever been wrong?I usually play that way and you and Crazy have an idea how I play as town. If I think someone is town (even worse, if I peg him as town playing poorly) then its very probable that there is scum in the attacks. Doesnt this make sense to you?
Of course, there IS the possibility but I see a lot of connections between you two and its hard to ignore them.There is not the possibility of me town preventing a potential mislynch of someone I think its town?
Responses to tajo's post 211
Read my masonry game (link in my wiki)...I went all attack mode on a townie as a townie. This is how I play when I feel strongly about someone. If you want to know how I play as townie, Artem has played with me as townie in my newbie game. I did the same thing there. I went all attack mode on not one but TWO townies. Sometimes I miss, sometimes I hit.If I am right about her he made the typical scum mistake of going against the easy target, all-attack mode.
Analysis of Crazy
Crazy has a trend of backing off arguments when pushed a little. In Post 51 he starts down a line of questioning with Artem then in post 55 he changes his mind and stops. Another instance is when in Post 117 he changes his vote to afatchic after Artem and I pressure him for having it on tajo and keeping him at L-1. Somewhat akin to that is when he says he thinks Artem and I are a scumteam in Post 183 and then never really goes anywhere with it. It seems as if he may have been testing the water a bit to see if anyone would bite.
Although I get town vibes from Crazy for the following posts:
-Post 88: points out that afatchic was previously concerned with quick lynching but now is complaining about people not voting.
-Post 119: Points out and questions why afatchic thinks tajo is protown.
@Crazy: In post 98 you were on board with an afatchic/tajo scum team...what has happened to change your mind?
Regarding my views on Artem.
I have been asked a couple times why I believe Artem is town. The following posts give me a strong townie vibe from him:
Post 37 - Calls tajo on asking questions without providing analysis of his answers.
Post 61 - Townie explanation of why he voted afatchic then later unvoted him.
Post 95 - solid analysis of what afatchic and tajo is saying/doing especially regarding the vig threats.

Agreed. With all these walls of text, not a lot changes for me, except that after reading the detective work on afatchic, I'm less convinced of him being a townie.Juls wrote: I am really tired of trying to convince someone I think is scum of my beliefs. It's futile.
I think we should make a move for a lynch. Can everybody post their updated suspicions and who they would viggie if they got lynched?
I still suspect Tajo with afatchic/Crazy. I will viggie Tajo if lynched.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Sorry, I was out yesterday, or you'd probably have gotten this sooner: Afatchic hasn't picked up his prod and the replacement search is starting. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Before Post 117 I was just being stubborn... there was no real point in me keeping my vote on Tajo then.
I clarified why I think you/Artem could be a scumteam a little later... probably not as much as I would have liked... but certainly you can see that you both seem to agree oneverything.

Its not only one post. Please read my post where I explained why I thought afatchic was prob town.Juls wrote:In post 162 you say that "in the majority of my games there are town players playing poorly that become easy targets for scum, at least for one post". You are saying that but you are basing your whole case that afatchic is town on one post where he asks who he should vig. A total of one posts! You did the same thing on War in Heaven with Cybele. The only thing that I get from this is a meta from you that all someone has to do is say something very pro-town early in the game and you are done looking at them.
Also, Im not totally discounting the possiblity of afatchic being scum. The thing is until now, afatchic hasnt given me any reason to think that. Empking's new point of view could or could not confirm my theory.
About the War in Heaven game, Cybele was town or scum? Was I town or scum? Really, cant you see the analogies?
POORLY EXECUTED. How does that dont make him a terrible player?Juls wrote:It was a good thought but poorly executed. I actually have more respect for afatchic based on this and I honestly think it weakens tajo's argument that afatchic is just a terrible player.
He has but he has done it poorly. Ill let you search that. Specially the parts where you say that he is weakly accusing people in this game. Could it be poor scumhunting?Juls wrote:3) Scumhunting. This gives afatchic big fat scumpoints in this game. He has yet to scum hunt. Period. My biggest reason for suspecting him. He at least scumhunted in that game.

Yes, you?Juls wrote:Have you ever been wrong?
Yeah, what about connections of someone that thinks someone is town (he could be right or wrong). You are not thinking pro-town. You just want someone else than you lynched.Juls wrote:Of course, there IS the possibility but I see a lot of connections between you two and its hard to ignore them.
Hint hint: you could also be wrong this time. Specially knowing this, if I were you, Id be extremely careful since you have been wrong many times.

Mod:Can you fix the player list?
Artem: Artem appears to be solidly contributing in a pro-town manner and I don't think he's lurked yet. I don't fremember him comitting a scum tell.
Juls: She's seems to be contributing well but her OMGUS-like behaviour and distracting the town by talking about another unrelated game is scummy.
Pop: Pop seems to be going a way that at first glance only makes sense if he's town (from my point of view), that bit of WIFOM doesn't take away the scummy thing he's done.
Crazy: I have read the whole game just a couple of minutes ago and I don't remember a single thing he's done save say hello to me. It looks like he's flying under the radar in a scum-like manner.
Vote: CrazyPlus, if you guys want to make a point, skip the walls, because everyone else in the game does as well. - Magister Ludi-

By the way, a question for Tajo, Empking and Crazy: what do you think of me and Juls as a pair? Are we scum together, townies together, or of the opposite alignment?
