I don't believe in policy lynches, I believe in voting scum. Policy lynching, or anyone who would advocate voting someone that might be town, is scummy.

There are lots of ways to be pro town without random voting. Participating in RVS is not pro town in and of itself.Espeonage wrote:
The point of RVS is to gain info on everyone by judging the interplay and natural conversation that voting causes. By choosing not to participate in RVS you are in essance witholding information from town which is definantly not a pro-town thing to do.Sakako wrote:Wow, random voting much? I think I'll pass for now.
Also, I'm running Ubuntu with XMonad. It's the bomb.
I would hate to drag the game out of RVS at such an early stage therefore.

So you're saying it's okay to vote without a reason so long as its not a first vote?Netopalis wrote:I didn't say it was a bad reason, I said that there was no reason. I don't like putting more than a single vote on a player without a reason. Truth be told, I hate putting any votes on anybody without a reason, but second votes are scummier than first votes.
Also, I don't like your statement regarding early lurking, it seems like an excuse not to participate.

Just because something is common or uncommon is not a logical reason for something to be scummy or not scummy. There are things that are scummy that happen quite frequently, and things that are townish that are quite rare. Lurking, for example, is a frequent scum tactic. Likewise, having made an argument in a previous game does not make you less scummy in this game.Netopalis wrote:Monkey: The reverse, actually, if you read that. I hate all random votes, but random votes which are the only vote on that player are excusable because they are so common.
You can feel free to suspect me for this. I honestly could care less. I've been lynched for it before, but I'm not going to change my playstyle to appear more townie, since that's what scum players do, and since I don't want to ring any false bells based on that. I can link to at least 3-4 games in which I make these same arguments as town, and if you check my Wiki page (Last updated November 2009, I really need to update), I emphasize the same sentiments.
This was absolutely a terrible defence post and I recommend more votes on you with quick haste.-

Seriously, it is almost as if you are requesting people to settle on the neto lynch pronto without any furthur discussion when we have over a fortnight left in this phase. We are barely out of the RVS and you already want a lynch.
I said I had nowhere to place a vote. Well now I do.

Why are you continually taking what I say out of context? I never said meta should be ignored completely, and I never said discussing any possible scum combos should be "thrown under the rug". I just found it fairly self serving to discuss me as part of a scum team after I had voted him, especially considering xReckonerx had been complaining of OMGUS before.AlmasterGM wrote:I agree with Lowell. In particular, these three comments from Monkey didn't sit well with me:
The question was hypothetical. Answering it with a qualifier was not out of reach. Minimally, answering the question would have been useful in determining what Monkey thinks of other players, etc. Ironically, Monkey later criticizes someone for "not contributing," when he himself avoided contributing for 3 days straight after game start by shooting down questions such as this one.Monkey wrote:I don't believe in policy lynches, I believe in voting scum. Policy lynching, or anyone who would advocate voting someone that might be town, is scummy.
Disagree. While good play is fairly inelastic definition wise, what constitutes a scumtell varies greatly on meta. Sure, running to meta all the time is bad, but so is saying "we don't look at game history at all, we only look at the godbook of scumtells, it never changes and is always accurate, amen."Just because something is common or uncommon is not a logical reason for something to be scummy or not scummy. There are things that are scummy that happen quite frequently, and things that are townish that are quite rare. Lurking, for example, is a frequent scum tactic. Likewise, having made an argument in a previous game does not make you less scummy in this game.
What's the point of throwing this potential discussion under the rug?Random Player X and Random Player Y are a potential scumteam(as long as its not me). Discuss.-

Anyone might be scum. If you think you are out of the woodwork just because there is a different wagon right now I think you should reevaluate. There's absolutely nothing behind your argument. At least my argument has a solid foundation.Netopalis wrote:Not at all what I said. I originally said that your motivation appeared to be to lynch. You refuted by saying that you had already said that your motivation was to find scum. I said that you can't say that and expect us to believe you because you might be scum. You are scum because it appears that your motivation is to lynch rather than to find scum.-

Nepo wrote:second votes are scummier than first votes.MM wrote:So you're saying it's okay to vote without a reason so long as its not a first vote?
Then this post acts like you are discouraging scumhunting and attacking the attacker, without really having an argument...Nepo wrote: The reverse, actually, if you read that. I hate all random votes, but random votes which are the only vote on that player are excusable because they are so common.
I don't assume you're going to give a bad defence, but if you do give one, I'll certainly not hesitate to point it out. This is a flawed argument.nepo wrote: It seems as if your whole point in asking the question to begin with was to ask me a question in which any defense would appear to be weak, allowing you to attack me, which is convenient as I already have the most votes.
And then here it sounds like you are again attacking the attacker with a weak defence.Nepo wrote: You gave me a reason to suspect you. You attacked the easiest target with weak attacks and set up questions with predictable answers that you knew you could attack.

A populist argument is not an argument you asked for me to give you an independent argument against you, and I gave you one. You're discouraging scumhunting by OMGUSing without really having an argument. Your only defence of your argument is that others have voted the same way, so to me that's not really a defence.Netopalis wrote:How am I discouraging scumhunting? By being against putting 2 votes on somebody for absolutely no reason? That doesn't follow.
Also, if my argument is so weak, I'm not sure why so many others are following me. I think it holds a lot of water - certainly moreso than anybody else I could suspect at this stage.-

People may not be making their vote based on your argument. Also, I would be more worried about the player who bases his arguments on being agreeable rather than the person who is willing to actually make his own arguments regardless on weather someone else agrees.Netopalis wrote:My point was that I feel that my argument is strong and others feel that it is strong.

That's not true at all. I voted for Neto first, if anyone is OMGUSing its him. There's not really a case against me so there's not really anything to defend.Espeonage wrote:Ok. Monkey, you are actually not defending the points made against you so much as making points against who is voting for you. You were at the beginning but that discussion has kinda gone off track leaving me with a suspicious gut to add to the case I made. Therefore i am happy with my vote at the moment. I still hold that Saka (See ain't I nice. I read you don't like Sak) is a newb town.-

You clearly said second votes are scummier than first votes. This is the point I was taking issue with. I am not misrepresenting your position.Neto wrote: It's pretty clear that I said that I said that I dislike all random votes, particularly those that land on someone who already has one. He turns it around and says that I don't like random votes unless someone else is already voting for that person. The first position is logical, the one that he tries to make me sound like I am advocating is not.
I never said nothing you say would change my position. It's just that I don't find your arguments convincing. I'm not obligated to change my position just because you present an argument.Neto wrote:While I don't really like meta that much, I think that this is a fairly extreme example of when it is acceptible - to show that a player regularly does something out of the norm, and that it shouldn't be taken as a scumtell. He seems extremely determined, though, that nothing that I say will dissuade him from his course.
I'm claiming that the cases against me are weak. Not all cases are strong cases.Neto wrote:Essentially, here, he's trying the old propaganda technique of denying that there's any basis for the actions against him without explaining why there's no basis for those accusations. If he says enough times that those who suspect him are idiots, people will start to believe him - at least, that's what he seems to be banking on.
Neto wrote:Note that he never really pursues either of these cases. He just posts them and leaves them be. I daresay that if I left him alone, he'd take up the wagon against Sakako in a few posts, and when challenged, he'd bring up these very posts as evidence why his switch isn't scummy. Note too his choice of a new target: Sakako, who is also on the defensive.
You're my primary case right now. While I am capable of pursuing more than one case at a time, and am currently doing so, it seems to me you are trying to scare me off of my case against you. This is the first time you've actually posted a formal case, up until now, your cases have consisted of...
This is consistant with your tactic against me, which is to exaggerate your case and try to convince others to join you based on said exaggerated case.neto wrote:As I've explained, every time I try to give substantial content when I have none, I've proven to be wrong. So, I'm going to wait until I have something to say to say it.
Then here, you make the case that as long as you have meta, you should be able to make any poor argument you want and not be scummy...
Neto wrote:You can feel free to suspect me for this. I honestly could care less.

I disagree with both statements. As far as meta, it's still a scummy argument to say that you can use meta as an excuse to present a scummy argument and not expect opposition.Netopalis wrote:1) You said:

Sakako could be newbie town or newbie scum, but im leaning newbie scum, mostly not only because of his early play behavior, but because he and Neto seem very reluctant to attack each other on anything, increasing the likelyhood that they are scum partners imho. I think this is poor scum play rather than newbie town play. Townies are usually more prone to disagree with each other, especially considering the level of scumminess both of them have shown.-

I agree with these sentiments. It might be a bit much to think that Neto, Sakako and Kyle99 are ALL scum, but I'm pretty sure one of them are. I've played with kyle99 as scum in another game and if I remember he wasn't incredibly active. My top 3 scum at this point are Neto, Kyle and Sakako although I recognize the possibility of lurker scum.DeathRowKitty wrote:
You seem to think that most of your attackers are town. Why do you think so?Sakako wrote:Okay. I'm not meaning to be defeatist. I should probably play a few more newbie games before trying to play with the big guys, but here's what I'm thinking.
xReck - most probably town. Either that, or very good scum. He's been hunting pretty much from the get-go, and that's good. I like that play.
Neto - more likely town than not. Just a gut feeling for now.
Kyle - not sure what to think. I'd like for him to provide a link to the game which he's using as meta for Monkey.
Monkey - quite possibly scum. I don't really have any new reasons for this, but I really don't like the way he shifted the discussion from him as scum to random x as scum.
Almaster - not quite sure here either.
Lowell - likewise.
DRK - Quite possibly town, for same scumhunting reasons as xReck.
Esp - possibly town. Making some good attempts at hunting.
Bob, Nik - possibly scum, lurking somewhat.
Hito - unsure. Possibly town though, making some good cases against me.
If I've forgotten anyone, please let me know.
I know where you're coming from with this and it's been giving me some trouble too. It's starting to remind me a bit of GreenDude from that game where you were fisherman. I still think Sakako is scum though.Reckoner wrote:He's seemingly too scummy to be scum. I know people think it's a null tell or logical fallacy
Someone mentioned Neto as likely scum recently and I can see some logic in it. Unfortunately, I'm so lazy right now that I don't feel like finding who said it.
Sakako's recent posts of trying to narrow it down to either Monkey or kyle are very scummy. False dichotomy much? To make it even better, they blatantly piggybacked off Reckoner's suspicions.-

Just to clarify, I never changed my opinion about meta, my opinion is, that meta shouldnt be used as the sole basis of defending yourself. There's nothing wrong with using meta as a means of understanding playstyles. In Kyle's case, I have played with him before, so it would be poor judgement on my part not to use meta to analyze his performance. Neto however, was using a meta defence as the only way to defend himself. So there is nothing inconsistant about my position.almightybob wrote:
Maybe it's that Monkey's scumminess is fresher in my mind. MM's hopping isn't scummier than Sak's, but his shift in opinion about meta (as pointed out by Almaster) definitely is.xRECKONERx wrote:Why Monkey over the other two? You spend this whole post talking about not liking Sakako's hopping, then point out Monkey's quick vote hop, but you say nothing about kyle. And, by your own logic, Sakako should be equally as viable as MonkeyMan... what makes MM's hopping scummier than Sak's?
I would be happy with Sak as well, but when I'd just finished reading those pages to catch up, Monkey was at the front of my mind. I didn't like his earlier dismissal of points against him, and now this. It's a very slight preference of him over Sak, but it's there.
Kyle hasn't done enough to seem out-and-out scummy to me. He's been accused of lurking and only posting to respond, which does seem true. However, just from this game he doesn't seem all that scummy to me. The reason I would be happy for a lynch on him is that so many people have taken stances against him, hopped on and off the wagon, called for his lynch for meta reasons etc etc. It would be a good informational lynch. That is the aspect of DRK's post that I agreed with.-

No, you're not understanding my position. I'm saying meta shouldn't be used as the SOLE means of defending yourself. That's different than combining different analytical methods for a defence or attack.AlmasterGM wrote:
So if you use meta, it's OK, but if other people do, it's not? I don't see the difference between you using meta to attack and exonerate people and Neto using it to defend himself. Either way, at best, you're advocacy shifting, as this "clarification" has beenMonkeyMan576 wrote:Just to clarify, I never changed my opinion about meta, my opinion is, that meta shouldnt be used as the sole basis of defending yourself. There's nothing wrong with using meta as a means of understanding playstyles. In Kyle's case, I have played with him before, so it would be poor judgement on my part not to use meta to analyze his performance. Neto however, was using a meta defence as the only way to defend himself. So there is nothing inconsistant about my position.completelyunclear until right now. At worst, you're still being hypocritical.-

How can you be bad at RVS? You vote someone random...and lol and the Sakako vote. I would be extremely suspicious of anyone who adds to my wagon from here on out.Netopalis wrote:I don't see why it's scummy to begin with. Players who know that they aren't very good at it should stay out of it. Townies are to only act in a pro-town manner. My staying out of the RVS is an extension of that duty.-

Sakakos vote was a lot more annoying. I have every right to point it out.hitogoroshi wrote:
This kind of attitude is pretty annoying, quite frankly. I don't have any particularly large reason to think you're scum but if I did I sure wouldn't like the fact that you've basicially set yourself up to OMGUS the next person on your wagon.MonkeyMan576 [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2114706#2114706]396[/url] wrote:and lol and the Sakako vote.

I didn't dismiss the attacks. I said they were baseless.Netopalis wrote: Monkey is a tricky analysis. I really don't like how his response to everything is pretty much to sarcastically dismiss the attacks against him as without merit. That's a classic scumplay. Also, as mentioned earlier, he does tend to misrepresent people a lot. That could either be intentional or unintentional, I'm not sure. It's true that he's never voted for anybody that it didn't feel that there would be a strong bandwagon on, and it's true that for much of the early game, aside from these light attacks to justify his votes, he was inactive.
What you are doing is taking Neto vs. Monkey and mistakingly applying it to my whole play. You think I dismissed YOU, and you think I misrepped YOU. You're completely ignoring any interactions I've had with anyone else, for the most part.
And I built a more than decent case against you, which i felt was much stronger than your supposed case against me.
Also, I already explained that the Sakako vote against me was very weak, fishy, and scummy, and that any subsequent votes should be taken with extra scrutiny. I stand by that statement.-

You're calling me lazy. This is laughable...Sakako wrote:

Someone hammer this guy, please.

You seem really concerned about who you SHOULD be voting for, rather than who you think is scum...Sakako wrote:Well, Kyle, if you had suggested Lowell as a good lynch target for today then I would have done exactly the same thing. I'm just trying to hurry up and get some information - there are only a few days left before deadline.
Yes, call me scummy if you like. But that's the fact - I really don't have any idea of who I should be voting for, at this moment in time.
