@Kitten4u in post 170 - Do you believe that CTD's RVS stance connected him to MME at all? Also, if you actually noticed that Thesp had also not taken any stances, then why didn't you say why you found Leaf more suspicious when you voted him?
Did the RVS not give you this information? Why?Thesp wrote:I disagree - they help me get a feel on players in the game.

As for leaf, I don't get the scum read. I'll re-read him and his accusers and let you know my adjudication at this time. But from what I've seen, nothing has actually stunned me as either worth chasing him over, or worth pointing fingers at his attackers. Not worth asking for a summary right now, but I do think it looks like an early game wagon, which I'm cool with. If people know when to abandon it or not, that will tell me more.FoS: Oman

I don't find Kitten4u nearly as interesting as those on the wagon seem to. Combine that with the particular people on the wagon are people I am most hesitant about, it looks awfully bad to me.

Hello everyone. I'm replacing into two games at once, so please forgive if it takes me a day or two to get everyone's names straight. I'm posting in this one first because Thesp + Oman + CTD demands special treatment.
Thesp, I will try not to tard out in the late-game this time. I've played a few endgames since that one you hammered me in and am markedly less spastic now (I hope).
Anyway... I skimmed this thread last night and am wondering why the Leafy wagon isn't bigger. I'll post a case sometime this weekend but for now I see nothing wrong with marking my suspicions with avote: Leafy.
Kitten isn't looking golden either, and their fight reeks of distancing. Budja I don't see so much as scum at this point, but it could be that he/she was under my radar during the skim. Anyway, I don't see enough to help you out there, Thesp. More commentary later...Record:Town 10W/15LScum 4W/1LOther 2W/2LNewbie 1L

As promised...
It starts out with overactiveness in the pre-game and RVS, demonstrating that Leaf was chomping at the bit to play.
Most people read the rules during the confirm phase, especially if they are bored and bit-chomping like Leaf was. If they have questions, they ask them then, either by PM or in-thread. Of course, a scum isn't going to read nighttalk rules very carefully at that point, because his role PM contains a more detailed version.In #54, Leaf wrote:
Uh... actually, looking at the OP, rule 6 implies that even the mafia members cannot communicate with each other at all.Thesp wrote:Leafsnail, can you PM your scumbuddies and let them know we've started?Mod: Can the mafia members talk to each other? If so, how?
When a townie reads Thesp's question they're going to catch the context and realize that "can" means "could." They're either going to post a joke response or state something bland like "Sorry, I'm not scum." If one of the mafia reads this question, he is more likely to see "can" as "do you have the ability to" because he's being paranoid. If he's worthy of his pinstriped suit, he's going to check back and look at the rules again to remind himself what the public knows about such things, and answer accordingly.
In posting his answer, that scum is probably going to realize something along the lines of "if I show that I don't know this, it suggests I'm town" and a question to the mod is posted as a smokescreen. Later, he says that, if he were scum, he'd have PMed the mod but that begs several questions. Why not, instead, point out that the scum surely were told their powers in their role PMs, unless he thought that might bring unwanted questions about how he knows or why he asked an obvious question? Why PM the mod as scum but not as town? Why that second skim of the rules in reference to Thesp's question?
Earliest scumslip I've seen. Go Thesp.
First, nitpicking Elli was not needed. She was clearly joking and stirring the pot. Second, her vote was obviously OMGUS and I think Leaf is sharp enough to know that. So this is more pointless nitpicking. Granted, it's early.In # 74, Leaf wrote:Ellibereth, you've once again failed to answer my question, and have instead just thrown a vote my way. Perhaps you could at least explain why you find me suspicious, or who else you find suspicious?
Really? Reaching suspicions based on the fact that he said "partner" instead of "partners"?In #77, Leaf wrote:Also, what makes you think there are two mafia members?
In #89, Leaf reverses his position on Elli with no explicit reason (he does come up with one later, when questioned, but flip flops on it). Elli has only made a one-word post between his last attack and this dismissal but two things of note have happened. One player has voted Leaf saying that Elli doesn't look like scum and pman (a potential buddy) has both defended leaf and condemned Elli (which might have inspired distancing). Furthermore, as is pointed out later, this post gives early reads on most players but leaves out Oman, Thesp, CTD, and Sotty. Who ignores veteran players? Scum.
#93 he pokes at Elli again, whom he is supposedly leaning town on.
#146 seriously looks like scum damage control: add the neglected players to the notes, pointlessly link to a bunch of games in response to someone else that did the same, post some slippery OMGUS defenses. This is also where he gives reasoning for his Elli-town read. It's very iffy and laden with qualifiers, which means it's easy to go back on if he needs to.
The next few posts contain a lot of deflection defense. Then he gets in the squabble with kitten, which, like I said, seems very disingenuous to me, like two buddies having at it. This is solidified in #186, where he questions Elli (who he's reading as town) for voting kitten (who he's currently voting) while, in the same breath, asking Thesp to speak out against the kitten wagon. I don't see why a townie would act this way at all.

Agreeing with me =/= town. Yes, I was and am still voting Kitten, but switching votes without reason (in the manner that Ellibereth did) should generally receive scrutiny. Thesp, meanwhile, hadn't provided a particular reason for not voting Kitten, so I wanted to see what reason he gave.Ythll wrote:Then he gets in the squabble with kitten, which, like I said, seems very disingenuous to me, like two buddies having at it.

Elli is zwet-like and hard to read. Little gut-town.
P-man's page 6 jump looks town. A bit too overt for scum. Focusing on Elli is null.

After a deeper read Kitten is actually obv-town.
I initially found her jump onto the early bandwagon a bit suss (4th vote in a short time) but she did had the best reason to be on it.
This post,
is very good posting. Rereading leak (especially in ISO) , I see him comment on things a lot but rarely give anything beyond a weak stance. He does ask a lot of questions but I can't see them leading anywhere.Kitty wrote: Basically, I'm voting for you for two reasons. The first is that you didn't take a stance on anyone until I called you out on it. I think scum is more likely to do this because they want to avoid connecting themselves to anyone; when someone flips town they don't want to have to take responsibility for being on the wagon (because it makes them look bad) and they don't want to connect themselves to their buddies for obvious reasons. Basically, I believe that not having a stance is a large part of what staying under the radar entails.
However, if scum just did that they would get caught pretty quickly. A nice, easy way to look productive without actually saying anything is to ask a bunch of questions without really doing anything with them. These questions may or may not be relevant, but most of the time they are pretty reactionary. That is the vibe I get from your questions.
tl;dr case: Staying under the radar and active lurking.
Look at any post of Leak's and you will see this.
confirm vote Leaf.

Look at any post of Leak's [Leaf's] and you will see this.
Or does this tell us all we need to know on your motive for voting me? You haven't done anything other than rehashing old arguments about "pointless questions" and so on.Budja wrote:I won't pop a vote yet (bit more reading) but I think I will be joining the popular wagon-

My gut is telling me that Leaf is town. The questioning thing is something I often find myself doing as town when I am still getting my sea legs under me. Ythill's case surrounding the Leaf scum talk question is pretty good, but I don't think it is enough to convince me to vote for Leaf.
I don't get how Budja finds Kitten obv town. Does this mean you agree with her rational that leaf is under the radar and/or active lurking?-

So why didn't you say that before? Before you were just quoting Kitten to show how "obv town" she is. Now you're doing it as a bandwagonning method. This is exactly what I meant by "inconsistency of motive". Also, if you can tell how obvscum I'm being by looking at ANY of my posts, how did you possibly miss them all the first time around?Budja wrote:The only addition I can think of is the "scum-talk slip" you did.

Overall, I like Ythill, but the case isn't convincing me.
@Leaf:
I'm sorry, but I'm still not getting it:
1.) Why did you ask Ellibereth about her behavior if you already assumed he was doing it to get reactions?
2.) What do you think is the purpose of asking a follow-up question?
3.) What specifically has given you your town read on Ellibereth?
Where?Budja wrote:^ I get the feeling Kitten doesn't believe in her attack.
Also, Kitten, in addition to responding to my previous post, please also respond to this:

Allows you to get more information. Usually, when I say "Why did you do that?" to someone, they say "Looking for reactions" and nothing else. I wanted an expanded answer, basically.Wickedestjr wrote:2.) What do you think is the purpose of asking a follow-up question?
Again, it's from past experience - someone being useless and obstructive is probably town, as scum would at least try to answer and avoid suspicion and followups. That's not to say I prefer to play with useless and obstructive people, but I find that people like this are generally more helpful as scum.Wickedestjr wrote:3.)

Some stuff to deal with:
It's mostly the Wicked suspicion I didn't like, because I didn't see it at all. And while I could see where you were coming from with the Pman suspicion, it felt to me like you were avoiding the important discussions going on in the town by concentrating exclusively on those two. It's certainly not the strongest tell in the book, but it tingled my scum-dar.Sotty7 wrote:What don't you like about them? I will say that Wicked isn't as strong as pman and that kitten has climbed above him as my number two right now.
"Some other things" mostly extends to small instances in your play that tingled my gut (your reaction to Thesp's questionaire, for example), that are really not substantial enough for me to quote here. There's one thing that's bothering me quite a bit though, and that is the fact that you've been accusing Leaf of being scum with Ellibereth and really spending most of your time lately attacking leaf, while keeping your vote on Ellibereth despite the fact that Leaf has the bigger wagon and your vote would be much better placed on him. Your behavoir concerning those two doesn't make much sense to me from a pro-town perspective.MyMilkedEek wrote:Go on, spill the beans.

Ythill's entry into the game looks rather solid to me. Budja's not so much. He may try to explain his U-turn on leaf with his skimming-excuse, but that's just an admition that he's lazy and not interested in finding scum himself.

I'm going to try (and probably fail) to be brief. I'm glad to hear I'm not convincing people to hop on Leaf just yet. I'm still in the information-gathering phase of my game. I plan to poke Leaf with a stick for a bit and, in the not too distant future, do a deeper read of the game.

No problem. From #149: "It's easy enough to criticize someone for leaving a couple of people off his list, and a lot harder to try and look at everyone yourself." and "Although, if you have a problem with his playstyle, why aren't you addressing your qualms to him?" (The last one was a response to MME having a problem with Leaf's read on Thesp). Also in #151: "And if you think CTD is so worthy of attention... well, why aren't you paying him any?" (please see post for context) and "and are asking me why I've overlooked things you haven't done anything about yourself."Wick wrote:

I have not yet read you in iso but will certainly do so before making any direct accusations against you. The timing of your attacks has nothing to do with it, but the content of them seems forced and does not match the tone. Furthermore (and more importantly in the context of my case), Leaf seems more aggressive and less forgiving with you than with Elli. Often times I find that scum will hold back with townies in case they need to defend them later, but will be more aggressive with distancing/bussing.

@ Leaf:I'm not buying that your read on Elli was based on the questions you asked, because he didn't answer any between the two reads, and because you already said it was for different reasons, which makes this another slip. I don't believe that you can't tell who the veterans are, when some of them have obvious special titles and post counts are easy to find. As for the scum-chat slip, of course a townie wouldn't know exactly what's in the scum role PM but, unless he's never been scum, anyone should know what's typical. The rest of your defense on that point doesn't add up either.
If #77 was a parody of Con (which is plausible), why didn't you tell him that when he seemed to take you seriously in #79?
Don't strawman me about the kitten wagon. Agreement =/= town but the agreement was coming from a player you had been calling town for awhile. And see for yourself what I found iffy about the read on Elli (bold added for emphasis):
Overall, I find the tone of your defense vs. me to be null/acceptable but that against budj to be a little too slimey. What are your current reads on the two of us (and why)?In #146, Leaf wrote:Something about the wayhe isn't rushing to defend his actions and cover himself up.I dunno, it's just a slight leanfrom past experience.

If not right now, when are you planning on sharing your theory?[i]Mgm laughed nervously, his cheeks flushing in the faintest of blushes. "Patrick...
