Seraphim's 25 is not good posting. The Mixologist random vote reason backtrack argument is bullshit and the point against OGB already stated by charter and backed up by rofl. All in all a scummy post, as opposed to OGB simply being unhelpful.

Also see post 41. Depicting unhelpful behaviour as conclusive proof of scum alignment as well as speaking for the whole of the town. The content may be just a hyperbolical representation of Seraphim's suspicions, but the tone sounds so fake.

unvote, vote: Seraphim

I have found a better one. Seraphim presenting others' points as his own, labelling a completely normal reaction backtracking, and having general scummy tone is better than wanting players to identity-guess.

Accusing players of things they didn't do (i.e. doing something scummy yourself) is only likely to provoke one kind of reaction--suspicion. You are being thick if you think otherwise.

In the 14 minutes between this post of yours and the previous one OGB didn't post at all. Do you expect him to post every five minutes, and if not, what was the purpose of this comment?

i can't agree that there's any better place to vote until ogb actually starts participating. the fact that he's obviously following along enough to post useless crap here, and simultaneously has been posting in other threads, but can't seem to bring himself to actually be anything but a useless sack is impeding my ability to vote for anyone but him.
I'd vote for scummy over anti-town any day of the week.

He has made 3 posts. I see a tendency in the quality of his posting, but so far it is not a wide enough sample to dub it scummy per se.

I like how you blame the town for ruining your brilliant trap.

The OGB case didn't need restating, since it was made like half a page ago. Stop padding your posts with useless shit.

No, he is spending his posts ACTIVELY trying to derail the town. The quantity of his posts is irrelevant. The quality of them is incredibly scummy.
Meh. I don't see his posts as actively anti-town, only passively. Do you think that only one avenue of discussion can be pursued at any one time?

charter: I do not think OGB is being actively anti-town because I do not think so. There is no better answer to that silly question.

My opinion of Mufasa, after a cursory scan of his games, is that the claim is not out of character with his on-site meta. It is a nulltell leaning town slightly. I ignored him because opinions of opinions of silly actions are much more valuable than opinions of the silly actions themselves.

You have not given any opinion of Mufasa either. On what authority are you questioning my lack of stated opinion on the matter?

You haven't stated what conditions you are talking about; I don't see any scenario where what Mix did could be justifiably called backtracking; therefore those conditions that according to you exist, they do not apply here.

Exhibit 3: that is not the point. the point is that you specifically reiterated a case that you made just 14 minutes before--the motivation in that is probably overeager scum.

People unfamiliar with roflcopter's playstyle should make themselves familiar with it. Yes he has a tendency to fail to explicitly state his reasons, but most of the time they're evident or gut-based. If you think you can only analyse arguments and not actions, this game isn't suited for you anyway.
HowardRoark wrote:@Korts: Please explain how each exhibit is relevant. #1 Just because a player doesn't say "I agree with ___" = scum . . . false.
The equation is not correct in every situation, but making a point that has been explicitly stated multiple times before by others, without referencing those others, looks like a blatant attempt at taking credit. If you think that is pro-town, you should re-evaluate the motives for this.
HR wrote: #2 I believe that Seraphim believed that Mixologist was backpedaling.
Apparently so. I never said he believed otherwise. My point is, Mixologist's actions had no relation to backpedaling at all, and the accusation is bullshit.
HR wrote: #3 Saying that a player has been posting useless shit is not padding.
Saying that a player has been posting useless shit is, indeed, not padding. A player who posts useless shit, does, however, pad his posts unnecessarily with aforementioned useless shit. You present an irrelevant piece of information and I don't see how you've countered my argument at all.
HR wrote: #4 Voting a player for an early claim (and especially a questionable one) makes someone scum how? I believe that you know how Seraphim plays and found him to be an easy target (outside of the popular ones).
The claim is confirmable, a likely NK target, and has been executed by a newbie with precedent of, um, let's call it unorthodox play as town; Seraphim's vote, in this context, is opportunistic and scummy.

PEOPLE CALLING FOR A MUFASA LYNCH/VIG ARE SCUMMY. I'll compile a list of these people later.
Seraphim wrote:HR: Thanks for defending me, but I can assure you, I'm fine.
I take this to mean "thanks, buddy, I don't want you to tie yourself to me".

I could go for an OGB lynch too, after continued lack of any pro-town intentions.

ekiM, don't try to sell that bullshit about protects and RBs not being useful. Confirmable, only semi-, but that should be enough for now. Three kill-stopping abilities is pretty useful imo. You wanting to eliminate that the first night, if not the first day like charter, is pretty scummy.

Korts ISO 22 wrote:I could go for an OGB lynch too, after continued lack of any pro-town intentions.
I only defended the initial three-four anti-town posts of OGB, and I still stand by my "14 minutes" comment. The attack there was bullshit, since forum mafia is not the medium for immediate responses at all.

Either way, OGB is a fine substitute for Seraphim at this juncture, with no helpful comments at all and 4 days since his last post.
Starbuck wrote:Either he himself is Mafia and is just riling up all of us town, which he's doing rather well
The phrasing of this, specifically the "all of us town", is so fake.

Meanwhile, darkdude is disgustingly under the radar. He has had little actual content and the questions he pose don't seem to be for scumhunting purposes. Particularly his latest is the one that bugs me:
darkdude wrote:I don't understand why some think Mufasa is scum but not OGB or vice versa. Anyone care to explain?
Implying that the two, completely independent cases are actually connected, and trying to set up a Mufasa-OGB town/town or scum/scum dichotomy. This is not just a useless comment, it is downright scummy.

ekiM makes a compelling case against inHimshallibe, for the most part.

They are "connected" by similarity. Both of them did nonsensical stuff, so why would one case be scummy and another not?
One lurks and makes no effort to aid town; the other claimed way too early and plays like a newbie. How are the two even remotely similar?

There's a lot going for a Russian Axelrod and an Italian Seraphim and darkdude.

vote: Seraphim


Re: my being blocked, I confirm that it's likely I was blocked. rofl: for me to be the cause of the lack of italian NK, I would have to be Italian myself. You've concluded that if I'm scum, I'm more likely to be Russian. Is there any relation between the two conclusions?

A mental whoa is acceptable. Voicing it is a variation on the "oh noes <insertpowerrolehere> is dead" tell. I always dislike expression of surprise/shock/other emotions regarding the recently deceased.
SpyreX wrote:OGB, being a vig (even if one shot) is an incredibly useful scum role. Thus, he is NOT an early candidate for bussing.

(Note: Yes this changes my stance from before about early votes being suspect. It isn't worth lynching a vig if you have other avenues)

So, I would remove from my list of obvious Russian candidates: charter, korts, rofl.
I don't follow this train of thought. I was a late addition to the wagon, I could be a hypothetical partner bussing. Also, if you don't think bussing is likely, why aren't early additions to this wagon on your list of unlikely Russians? ekiM, for instance. You mention him a few paragraphs later, but why not in this list?

I get the feeling you're just trying to appeal to the most aggressive scumhunters here.
SpyreX wrote:On the flip side, the first person to come to OGB's defense in any fashion is: Caboose.
Again, why is my early defense of OGB ignored?

SpyreX, you make no mention of Seraphim. Do you think he's not scummy at all?

X wrote:I can actually see roflcopter being Russian Mafia, bussing hard through D1 to get town points. Your certainty in his guilt was crazy. Also considering darkdude as another Russian Mafioso, as rofl completely ignored him and chalked him up to being town.

I remember Adel saying something as Town that scum often say the names of people they are connected with more often. Looking at the dead Italian Mafiosi from this light, Seraphim does look like scum.
Don't these two hypotheses contradict each other? If you suspect darkdude and rofl to be connected based on the fact that roflcopter ignored darkdude, and then you state that Seraphim is scummy because the dead Italians mentioned him often, there's a problem with your logic.
Axel wrote:These are not "Mason" groups by definition. InHim was Italian Mafia and part of a group. Logically, there will be at least one Russian Mafia who is also part of a separate group. And if there's a SK he could easily be part of a group.
Why do you assume the setup is symmetric? The Russians could easily have other perks instead of being part of a neighbourhood.

I don't like this post. For one, the likely number of scum factions can be guessed fairly accurately from D1 and N1 flips; also, what does this have to do with setup balance, when we don't know how well the town's equipped or anything?

I said earlier, I really didn't care if OGB or Mufasa were voted off because neither of them were adding anything useful at all to our scum hunt.

I think we caught newb
scum.


Vote: Starbuck
Fixed. See insanepenguin in Roccisi Autumn. The logic is bad, but it's not inherently scummy.

Starbuck, do you realize how empty and useless your reply to above quote was? Also, it sounded a bit like you are threatening town.

skitzer's post has to wait, I'm going to sleep.

@Starbuck: I didn't intend to talk down to you, nor does my post look like that to me in retrospect. Please refrain from depicting my questions as personal attacks. If you want to discredit my points, do it with valid arguments.

Lurkerhunting is a good way to avoid having to post actual content.

alvinz' OMGUS without further comment on the game is noted. Not in a good way.

Both of you need to start being proactive. My paranoid half is starting to suspect a lurking-based bussing scheme between you two.

I am not comfortable with skitzerposting. Day 1 logic is broken in multiple places; attacks Starbuck for newbtell just now; piggybacking on Mufasa=town case without reference to earlier mentions of same point.

So read the thread or GTFO YOU.
I saw that the first time around. I still don't like the initial phrasing of the lead in to the Mufasa wagon analysis.

Ok, I'm willing to hammer. Final words, etc?

There is a strong Howard/alvinz connection. alvinz' 414 post, other than being OMGUS, seems to damn Howard more than Caboose, but he votes Caboose and not Howard. Distancing probable.

In an alvinz-scum scenario people will have been bussing right after Caboose has claimed his results. Wagon analysis may not be much use, but I don't like Axel's (and Starbuck's, but he's a newb) distrust of Caboose--an unprovoked fakeclaim this early would be very stupid.

Considering your history--1 finished game on MS with a quicklynch of you right after you replaced, and 4 ongoing; 3 games on askew; and sixty some on EM, a site where the emphasis is very strongly on the night game and barely any conventional scumhunting ever happens: I'm inclined to call you inexperienced. I don't intend to insult you, I'm just giving you some slack in being suspicious of Caboose for his claim.

Bullshit. You can't calculate likeliness of either scenario, since you don't know the town's power roles. I have role-based information that at least one kill more was attempted N0 than went through.
ekiM wrote:Very interested in what Seraphim and his claimed hood have been saying to one another!
As I'm sure you would be as scum.

Re: masons: I don't want to give scum a chance to fakeclaim and snatch the win at endgame, so I'm with charter on the masons claiming. It's a good WIFOM trap for scum night kills, too. This is, of course, if there is no additional group ability for the masonry.

I'm interested, sure, but I haven't decided yet whether it would actually be optimal to out a whole neighbourhood for this purpose.
ekiM wrote:And I don't have that information, so from my POV where we have a compulsive N0 vig and a single N0 kill, the most obvious explanation is that the vig committed the kill.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to partially claim, by the way.
Ok, fair enough. I still think it was bad to assume, but I can accept for the time being that town can make that kind of assumption.

I claimed what I did because I don't want anyone to base their deductions on false premises when I have proof to the contrary.
ekiM wrote:Isn't this exactly what I just said?
Right, I skipped that apparently.

tubby's fullclaim was premature, but it's honest, at least as far as I can tell.
tajo wrote:If you are the real rolfpartner mason, CLAIM NOW. If you claim later, you will hurt the town.
I don't like this comment. It's been made plenty clear by ekiM already that if anyone other than tubby is rofl's partner, they should counterclaim, and it's obvious anyway--this strikes me more as "HEY SCUMPARTNER COUNTERCLAIM HIM PLZ"
tajo wrote:Tubby, if you for some reason "forgot" that your masonry is of three players, I think TODAY is the time to say it. Dont say who he is but please tell us if there are indeed three players in your masonry. If you are only two, then confirm please.
What is the purpose of this, considering that tubby claimed this:
tubby wrote:i am rolf's mason partner
there are only two of us,
we have the ability to bodyguard,
Axel wrote:Also, reviewing the list of abilities this game, I'm pretty sure I don't know what kind of role-based info would allow you to know that a kill was attempted and failed on Night 0 unless (1) you were attempting that kill yourself, or (2) someone tried to kill you and you had a Bulletproof vest. Just saying.
You know, it's not particularly pro-town to muse about these things out loud. I can think of at least one other way other than these
or
the actual case if it isn't one of the above, though, just off the top of my head.

Seraphim, re: ekiM suspicion wrote:I did somewhat hint at them. Mostly, it's just a meta read after watching you play two games as scum as your mod. You seem to be playing similarly here.
Do you have similar knowledge of ekiM's play as town, or are you just basing this on his scum play?
ekiM wrote:I don't get it. Were you intentionally trying to be ambiguous? Then why did you say 'partner' yesterday and 'neighbors' today, instead of picking something actually ambiguous and sticking with it? Are you sure you're in a neighborhood?
Ugh. I don't like the continued grilling regarding this particular point. Seraphim's initial slip was a nulltell at worst, and his defense, insofar as any is needed, is plausible. SpyreX backing you up is misguided at best.

I agree with people saying Seraphimtown shouldn't be so interested in Caboose's next investigation target.

darkdude is still not-so-active lurking. I find tubbyposting lacking as well, he attacks only Seraphim's insistence that he not be forced to fullclaim.
X wrote:Just noticed that Korts singled out Seraphim for jumping on Mufasa, when he didn't do it to charter. Odd.
Well, to be fair, I remember telling charter to quit pushing a likely town wagon; but I'm pretty familiar with charter's play, and this is not uncharacteristic of him.

Seraphim, this is what I think of tajo: I'm aware he's had a recent history of lagging behind with his games, so I'm not as quick to judge him as others seem to be; but we need posting from him as well, and if his current performance looks to him like it's going to be long term, I encourage him to replace out sooner than later.

I don't particularly like Seraphim making assumptions about the number of scum. At this point there are still a lot of possibilities.

X: this post addresses charter's obsession with Mufasa, among others.

Waiting on Seraphim's version of the neighbourhood conversation before I comment.

HowardRoark's attack on tajo, other than being arguably OMGUS, seems for the sake of attacking anyone at all--tajo is a convenient choice on multiple accounts: he's attacked Howard, which got his attention in the first place, and he hasn't been particularly active, therefore a possibly valid lynch. The case Howard presents is weak and implicates him more than it does tajo.

So you admit to having presented a weak case, but apparently believe that the people who point it out can only be doing so with a hidden agenda? You are drawing connections between completely unrelated matters--how big a motivation do you imagine being on your "watch list" is gonna be for scum to dismantle your every argument?
HowardRoark wrote:I'd like to see a reaction from Seraphim to what X has posted as a paraphrase of the neighborhood's night talk. Right now, I'd have to say that it looks pretty bad for Seraphim: indifference when X was wary of him being mafia, role fishing, etc.
Can you shut the hell up until Seraphim confirms or denies X's story? You're basically feeding him lines.
X wrote:But why are they 12 pages apart?
Like I said, I am familiar with charter's play, and when he latches onto early game anti-town behaviour he's prone to not let go either until there are drastic changes in climate or the guy is lynched. After Mufasa was all but confirmed and yet he kept pushing his lynch I called him out. Before that he was just playing like he always does.

Seriously, don't replace out. You're gonna be lynched anyway, in all likeliness.

What I want to see from you is some effort. Do some player analysis, let us see who you think is scum, ANYTHING. If you feel guilty for being useless, you should try doing something against it, instead of posting questions that serve no practical purpose in terms of scumhunting.

Also, if you're lynched and turn up town, you'd be doing the whole town a favor by giving us a complete and unabridged version of your thoughts beforehand.

Seriously, Lowell, what's your case? That I didn't stick with the early game wagon? I had better cases to pursue. OGB is only obvscum from retrospect--his actions were simply passively anti-town. Seraphim, on the other hand, was and is actively scummy, so the accusation of derailment is laughable. If anything, the OGB wagon was a distraction to the Seraphim wagon--the fact that OGB turned out to be scum is irrelevant, since we have multiple factions.
Caboose wrote:caboose- TOWN. probably not italian (singled out by inhim out of nowhere), definatly not russian (first to point finger at alvinz)
If you feel confident enough in your read that you categorically, with capital letters, claim Caboose to be town, why go on to say "probably not italian [...] definitely not russian"? To elaborate, your first sentence seems to imply that you're sure he's town--then you go on to say that he's
probably
not italian; this kind of wishy-washiness really bugs me.

I also don't understand how you got a strong town vibe from tubby's posts--he's pseudo-confirmed by game mechanic, but his play has not been amazing. I'd like you to quote those posts that gave you these strong town vibes, and try to explain which parts and why.

Are you aware that when you gave Mixologist minus points you were saying you yourself were scummy? :P

Also note these quotes:
Lowell wrote:korts- possible derailment of OGB wason in 49, scum w/ OGB?

[...]

X- possible partner to OGB based on 231, OBVIOUS derailment. his confirmation of sera is a point in his favor. scum could have easily exploited it as an opportunity to call his partner confirmed town

[...]

4) Some scummy players:
korts
howard
Note the complete absence of X on the scummy players list, despite a big difference in tone when making the same accusation you make against me. Even taking into account that you take his confirmation of Seraphim as a point in his favor, the accusation you make against me is "possible derailment", and the accusation against X is "OBVIOUS derailment", and a minor point that I personally see equal motivation for doesn't give X enough town cred to counterpoint the seriousness of your accusation.

---------------
The Russians
---------------

OGB's random vote is
Mixologist (now Lowell), unknown alignment

alvinz's random vote is
skitzer

iamausername's non-random first vote is
alvinz, scumbuddy


OGB's other references:
A
Mufasa, town
vote; a comment on
roflcopter, town's
case against him. Other than this, no relevant comments. OGB is a dead end.

alvinz's other references:
Post 2 ISO
, he makes the following list of points:
alvinz wrote:1.
Caboose
(probable town)--Korts
is town, and a 'tard at the same time. Here's how I'll crack under pressure: "OH NOES, A WAGON? NOW I'LL JUST CLAIM MILLER/DOCTOR/COP/VIG CAUSE I'M SO PRESSURED INTO GETTING OUT OF IT!" (obviously a joke). Seriously, your thought is a complete rapage of a little hotdog.
2.
OGB
is a waste of space and posts to the town as scum and a 'tard. He's trying to stay under the radar, the best scumtell in all of mafiascum, and has posted nothing of substance except distracting the town from scum hunting then saying "Wtf mangs, WIFOM, you guys are 'tards, why are you voting me?" which still doesn't accomplish anything. He hasn't made any real posts even after his 'game' which is the most scumy part.Get real, or die.
3.
[/b]Mufasa[/b]
is another 'tard by claiming at broad daylight saying that 'he can get protected' which is a really dumb gambit and WIFOM. From his meta it is clear that he is a newbie and bad at claiming. I'm going to label him as a retarded townie.
Note that he labels
Mufasa
as town, like he does with
Caboose
. This makes me think he was more likely buddying in regards to Caboose, especially considering that Caboose picked up the wagon that iam started on his scumbuddy alvinz--I doubt any Russian would help their buddy push another one of their buddies' wagons, at least not without the town supporting the wagon first.

Next alvinz post
is a quote by
Caboose
and a simple comment of "Epic fail at scumhunting". Again, another point for Caboose not being Russian; I doubt alvinz would continuously try to discredit a buddy.

ISO 5
: claims
HowardRoark
is following
Caboose
's vote, yet votes Caboose. Inconsistency between reasoning and order of suspicion implies Howard-alvinz connection.

ISO 7 and 8
further trying to implicate
Caboose
--further strengthening my belief that Caboose is not Russian.

ISO 10
is an analysis of his wagon: says that everyone on his wagon except
roflcopter
and
SpyreX
have "either wagonned, done little, or have acted scummy": this means
HowardRoark
,
darkdude
,
Axelrod
,
Mufasa
,
tubby
,
Starbuck
and
ekiM
. Makes me think that SpyreX might well be Russian, since all his reasoning with his vote on alvinz was was "Ohh see thats a different business all together"; before that, he makes no seperate mention of alvinz, only in quotes of vote counts. He does make a reference to "alvins", though, early on:
SpyreX, ISO 5 wrote:Caboose - what the hell is your fixation with an alvins wagon?
Again, motivations for Russians to ask this are obvious.

ISO 11
quotes the post in which
X
votes alvinz; the vote itself is preceded by a weak strawman of an argument, and the reply addresses this more or less. Strikes me as a possible Russian interaction, although bad play is a possibility as well.

ISO 12
should be a very informative post. For one, why was this not quoted before:
alvinz wrote:I'm going to say there's going to be AT LEAST 3 SCUM on my wagon.
Here's the final vote count on alvinz: alvinz95 (10):
HowardRoark
,
roflcopter
,
SpyreX
,
darkdude
,
Axelrod
,
Mufasa
,
tubby216
,
Starbuck
,
ekiM
,
X


Now, consider that
none
of the dead players so far on his wagon are scum. The players whose alignment we still don't know are: HowardRoark, SpyreX, ekiM, X. I find it unlikely that a Russian wouldn't bus this wagon hard after Caboose's claim, so I have to assume that there's a grain of truth in alvinz' post; I also think, however, that his final outcry was a last ditch attempt at helping his faction, and under the guise of frustration he tried to plant some seeds of paranoia. So according to this logic, there's either one or two Russian scum between Howard/SpyreX/ekiM/X.
alvinz wrote:HowardRoark, you just majorly screwed yourself over by saying that I was BUDDYING WITH YOU. Good job winning dammit.
This is an interesting comment as well, and worth analysis; I'm not yet sure whether it genuinely implicates HowardRoark or if it's
intended to.


ISO 13
alvinz once more emphasizes that X in particular is doing a bad job of scumhunting, re: ISO 11. Makes me consider the "simply bad play" possibility more likely.

I'll do IAUN and the conclusion a bit later.

Bah. Apparently I forgot to factor in the three already dead Russians when considering alvinz's ISO 12. I still think there's one more Russian, and if so, they're likely one of the four on alvinz's final wagon who are unconfirmed. Italian(s) may be in that four as well.
X wrote:How is it a strawman, and how did I not hear about it being a strawman from you before?
I didn't say this before because I missed it; the review of alvinz's posts made me read the quoted post of yours more attentively. Here's alvinz's comment you criticize, followed by your own comment:
alvinz wrote:Only roflcopter and SpyreX have posted original content. The rest have either wagonned, done little, or have acted scummy.
X wrote:So HowardRoark, darkdude, Axelrod, Mufasa, tubby216, Starbuck, and ekiM are scum? You must see where this argument falls short. Vote: alvinz95.
alvinz says: "the rest are all either wagoners, reactive, or scummy". You say: "ah, so you say the rest are all scummy! HA! Vote" If you can't see how this argument is obviously broken, I can't help you.

X: what do you think of Seraphim?

I'm increasingly of the opinion that SpyreX pulled an early bus on OGB and tried to ignore alvinz until the investigation claim forced him to do something. It's notable also that iamausername basically ignored SpyreX, making only a single passing comment on his suspicion list, even though both were/are very active posters in the game.

I apologize, I haven't gotten any SpyreX/iamausername analysis done today.

@X: about the strawman, fair enough. I can accept that explanation.
charter wrote:Why the fuck are we voting Caboose? He is the last peson I'm going to be voting for a while.
QFT. As for why he isn't dead yet, tajo, that's a pretty stupid question. Tubby was protecting him up until now. Any intention to lynch Caboose right now, especially the way you're trying to twist things in 689, is likely scum doing some damage control before it's too late.
tajo wrote:me thinks a town cop would at least want to be less obvious about his guilty result even in day 1, like you know, trying to not get night killed by the mafia partners of the guilty result you have or like, you know, trying to get another result.
He wasn't really that obvious--I've seen people with the same amount of conviction and nothing at all to back it up plenty of times.

Also, you explain the lack of an Italian doctor on their GF by saying that Caboose would've been a Russian target, even though he only claimed cop Day 2, and there were far more pro-town players than him around. What would've made him a prime Russian target after Day 1?

There's more that bothers me with that post, but I can't put my finger on it.

If Caboose still isn't dead tomorrow, I'm willing to consider his lynch, considering that there is no protective masonship and no protective JOAT anymore.

Currently I want to lynch one of tajo/SpyreX.

Caboose, I'm not setting up a chain lynch. I said I'm willing to
consider
lynching you if you're still alive tomorrow. Scum should now be able to kill you without having to worry about their kill failing--I doubt there would be three seperate protective abilities in the game.

tajo, I think Caboose is town. And I'm not sold on a massclaim yet.

While I appreciate someone spotting this, and I will have a good defense that Caboose can hopefully back up when the time comes, I really don't like
how
you point this out.

"Did that strike anyone else as", really? On the one hand, it's stylistically disgusting; on the other, more relevant hand, it looks like you're trying to gauge the other players' stance toward the point you are trying to make before damning it or dismissing it.

And seriously, is the 21 minutes and the 12 minutes supposed to mean anything in regards to alignment, in your humble opinion? If so, I'd like a full elaboration on that.

---------------------------------------

Those arguing that there must be a Russian GF simply because TDC "likes symmetry" or whatever your outguess-the-mod reasoning was, have you considered that one GF was a member of the Upper Roccisi Neighbourhood, and the other member was a Multitasker? How does that fit into your worldview of symmetry?

I'd like to point out that outguessing the mod is futile when the mod is competent. And the mod is competent.

---------------------------------------

I'm interested to see how quickly X will be taking his vote off Caboose.

X: These quotes detail my suspicion:
Korts wrote:
ISO 10
is an analysis of his wagon: says that everyone on his wagon except
roflcopter
and
SpyreX
have "either wagonned, done little, or have acted scummy": this means
HowardRoark
,
darkdude
,
Axelrod
,
Mufasa
,
tubby
,
Starbuck
and
ekiM
. Makes me think that SpyreX might well be Russian, since all his reasoning with his vote on alvinz was was "Ohh see thats a different business all together"; before that, he makes no seperate mention of alvinz, only in quotes of vote counts. He does make a reference to "alvins", though, early on:
SpyreX, ISO 5 wrote:Caboose - what the hell is your fixation with an alvins wagon?
Again, motivations for Russians to ask this are obvious.
Korts wrote:
alvinz wrote:I'm going to say there's going to be AT LEAST 3 SCUM on my wagon.
Here's the final vote count on alvinz: alvinz95 (10):
HowardRoark
,
roflcopter
,
SpyreX
,
darkdude
,
Axelrod
,
Mufasa
,
tubby216
,
Starbuck
,
ekiM
,
X


Now, consider that
none
of the dead players so far on his wagon are scum. The players whose alignment we still don't know are: HowardRoark, SpyreX, ekiM, X. I find it unlikely that a Russian wouldn't bus this wagon hard after Caboose's claim, so I have to assume that there's a grain of truth in alvinz' post; I also think, however, that his final outcry was a last ditch attempt at helping his faction, and under the guise of frustration he tried to plant some seeds of paranoia. So according to this logic, if there's Russian scum, it's most likely between Howard/SpyreX/ekiM/X.

Why assume that there can only be three? I see a connection between SpyreX and the Russians; 4:4:15 is not really unbalanced, considering there's a lot of room for individual roles to even it out.

X, there you go again, ignoring some of the points I make and mentioning only those that are easily dismissed.

Here is a list of the things that make me suspicious of SpyreX, points listed by order of relevance/strength of evidence, important things bolded:

- alvinz ISO 10: he mentions
rofl and SpyreX as the exceptions
to the statement that everyone on his wagon has "either wagonned, done little, or [has] acted scummy". In contrast,
SpyreX's reason is no better
than a lot of the people who voted alvinz
simply because of Caboose's results
; there is also
no prior suspicion from SpyreX regarding alvinz
, in fact the
only
mention of alvinz from SpyreX is

- in SpyreX ISO 5, where
he tries to derail Caboose's early fixation with alvinz
.

- in alvinz' final outbreak post, he claims that there are at least 3 scum on his wagon; superimposing the dead players' list on the alvinz-voters' list, that leaves 3 out of 4. Even considering that there can't be 3 more Russian scum I doubt alvinz was completely bluffing; in addition I doubt that at that point (cop guilty on alvinz) Russians would have tried anything else but fervent bussing; therefore the assumption is that if there are any Russians left, which I suspect to be true, they're likely among the four living alvinz-voters. One of them is SpyreX.

- no relevant mention of SpyreX from iamausername, despite the fact that they were both active users.

The fact that he was on OGB's wagon pretty early could easily have been pre-planned for town cred, or otherwise an early realization that he was a useless weight on the Russian mafia's shoulders.

8 scum in a 23 players game, which include 3 unknown roles, 1 mafia doctor, 1 multitasker, 2 1-shot vigs, 1 godfather seems balanced to you?
Without knowing all the town power roles, there's no way to judge, and you should know that. It's not unlikely at all that it is balanced.

Why are you so intent on forcing me to hunt Italians specifically?

The explanation is that we have confirmation that he is a cop. Even if he is scum, he is a source of very easy to verify information.
It's not easily and publicly verifiable without another cop, or at least not before a lynch of his investigated target.

While they have been power roles all of them, we don't know how much power the town has, and whether, for instance, a Multitasker is useful at all.

I think, based on balance alone, an Italian is more likely. Based on the interactions we've seen though, a Russian is just as probable.

Also, who do you think is Italian, then? You got into this argument with me, but it is not relevant to scumhunting in a direct way. I'm also not aware of you having any real suspicions, or at least you haven't expressed them. Who are your top suspects and why?

Hrm. I think I'll have to stop hounding for a Russian lynch. Balancewise it's not that probable, and no-one seems to agree with me that SpyreX is very much implied as a Russian.

vote: tajo
for previously expressed suspicions.

There's a reasonable case for a charter/Lowell Italian remnant. I'm willing to give my vote to charter or Lowell in lieu of a tajo wagon.

I'm not convinced of the Lowell claim's truthfulness. Seems an awful lot like a fakeclaim based on previous reveals/claims; this is especially true because based on the fact that Lowell claims not to be able to vouch for charter's alignment, it seems that their group name should be also something-something neighbourhood; yet he claims masons, not neighbours, which would be the first thing that would pop into my mind thinking of my hypothetical role PM.

What is your group name, Lowell?

Caboose, the weekend is almost over. Please don't continue to procrastinate. Either sit down now and catch up, or ask to be replaced--we need your input most of all.

Looking at the vote count: X and tajo, what the fuck are you doing still voting Caboose? The fact that our cop is lazy doesn't change the fact that he's like 95% confirmed as town. Me, I don't see the utility of a scum aligned alignment cop, so I don't see any argument for why his procrastination is scummy instead of simply anti-town. Are you encouraging a policy lynch on a role-confirmed cop?

tajo, charter, or Lowell here. X is a possibility too, although his Neighbour claim and his other actions and posts so far are mitigating factors; I also still endorse looking at a SpyreX flip.

Oh nice. Suddenly everyone is acting scummy. SpyreX setting up a chain of lynches without reasoning other than "this is a very important note"; tajo fishing hardcore for a role that need not be claimed; I'm seriously considering going back to tajo. I need to evaluate the claim properly.

Like I said, I can always go for a SpyreX lynch. Deadline lynch needs majority vote, so people should be voting a big wagon and those that are voting for 1-vote wagons are trying to shy away from responsibility by feigning conviction. X and SpyreX, that's you.

To clarify, SpyreX, my vote definitely isn't "under the guise of" anything. My reasons are still the same, I simply want to shame people into wagoning. This is not the time for pussyfooting.

Also, I am not claiming yet. Perhaps tomorrow, if I live.

Alright. I'm a tracker/watcher jack-of-all-trades type role, and my abilities are the following: one shot each of tracker, watcher, amnesiac tracker, amnesiac watcher, tracker inventor, and watcher inventor. I also had a bulletproof vest, but I was shot on N0. Only the inventor abilities could be used on N0.

My targets are as follows:

N0 I used the watcher inventor on roflcopter.

N1 I tracked Seraphim. No result.

N2 I watched Caboose. I saw tubby visiting him, and you can see that my actions toward tubby were hostile up until his claim, where his target matched my results.

N3 I used amnesiac tracker on Axelrod, sending the results to Caboose, now Kison. Hopefully Kison can confirm the fact that his predecessor got the result; I breadcrumbed this in my first post after night 3, by asking Caboose whether he recieved anything else than his regular result.

Last night I unfortunately forgot to send an action, since I intended to sit down and thoroughly consider my options with an amnesiac watcher. I intended to watch Kison, but I wasn't really sure who I could send the results to.

So basically, I'm left with one shot each of amnesiac watcher and tracker inventor.

I also breadcrumbed being shot N0 when arguing that mafia should be assumed to have had a kill on N0 as well, not just consecutive nights.

I will come back with an analysis of the remaining players soon.

My thinking right now is that scum is one, possibly two of {ekiM;charter;Lowell}. I'm leaning towards ekiM right now, up next Lowell, and then charter.

X: I think it at least semi-confirms Kison that he backed me up. As scum the only motivation for it would be to further confirm himself as town, but at the pretty big cost of confirming a town player. I don't particularly think that would be a reasonable trade for scum at this point.

On Seraphim being NK-immune: while it would otherwise be a convenient fakeclaim for scum, coupled with the solo vig power of his neighbourhood it pretty much confirms him and leaves X's alignment questionable.

Seraphim: Did you inform X of your NK immunity before N0 was over? If not, when did you tell him? We might be able to account for a lost kill depending on your answer--we had a surprising lack of kills on N0 in retrospect.

tajo: please spell Howard's name correctly. It's not Rock, it's Roark, as in the protagonist of The Fountainhead. Thanks :)

Lowell 920: X justified his vote by claiming you're
active
lurking, not lurking in general. Active lurking is genuinely scummy.

Just a note to the town to be careful--Lowell is at L-1.

Yo ekiM, please don't misquote. I never told people to get off the Lowell wagon, that was tajo.
Nevermind, you corrected it :)

As for the reasoning for my suspicions, it's basically by process of elimination. Seaside Neigbourhood sounds the least likely, and Vanilla Townie is a conveniently easy fakeclaim.

Because I literally recieved no result.

And what result would you get if Seraph hadnt done anything that night?
Ask Kison, he was the one who got the result of a Vanilla Townie's tracks.

I didn't assume, I said it was likely I was. I'd expect to be sent at least a "no result" if I wasn't blocked.

Two things: has the possibility occurred to you that it bothers
me
? It's one of my pet peeves that usernames be spelled the same way the user themselves spells it. And why would I be buddying up to you specifically? You are hardly an opinion leader.

This never was a scumtell; it's just empty play on words.

Howard, you claim the Italian mafia to be lacking in power roles when put in contrast with the Russians. Let's look at the dead mafiosi:

Italian: Godfather Neigbour, Doctor
Russian: 1-shot vig, 1-shot vig, Multitasker Neighbour

A scum protective role is a very powerful role; an investigation immune role in a game where it's pretty much certain now that there is a cop is also considerably powerful. Granted, two 1-shot vigs in the mafia are huge advantages to the faction, but I wouldn't go so far as to claim that the Russian roles that have flipped are stronger than the Italians. They merely have different advantages.

I can't judge if this is simply inherent OMGUS against the flawed arguments that Howard presents in the case against me, but his 947 looks scummy to me. Is it likely that there are two Godfathers in the Italian mafia? Aside from conflicting flavour, of course; I doubt that TDC's purpose in making a modular game was to be as true to the original mafia flavour as possible.

I'm fairly comfortable with Seraphim's plan.

vote: X

Um, Howard, I was willing to hammer Lowell
to avoid another No Lynch.
That was pretty much self-explanatory. Seraphim's plan is simply better, especially since X-scum would explain the lack of another kill (beside my bulletproof vest) N0, if X wanted to gain the soloist vig ability.

My vote on X didn't do anything to the Lowell wagon, seeing as I wasn't on it.

I know my bulletproof was used because I got a PM that told me I was no longer bulletproof.

X: did Seraphim know of your Bulletproof Vests?

Not good news. Why didn't you claim the Vests when people started confirming Seraphim for being part of your neighbourhood and you being still alive?

W00t. Good call lynching Kison; I have a hard time seeing utility in a scum cop, multiple scum factions or not.

Thanks TDC for an awesome game with an awesome setup, and thanks to the players for making it an enjoyable game.
