To save myself from his play.
Hello to you too Seacore. Did you miss me?
Well another ongoing game, you don't sign your name but it's clear your speaking as yourself as you mention the other person you Hydra with. I was curious why you want to speak as one in this game. Just something I ponder when I see something different in another game.A Gaggle of Geese wrote:chesskid hasn't hydra'd on MS to my knowledge. And no, it was my idea when I proposed we hydra, the main reason for the hydra was that our reads mesh well when we are both town in a game, and I don't think I've ever signed my posts as part of a hydra anyway, this is just taking this forward a step. Is there any reason you ask apart from mere curiosity?farside22 wrote:@Gaggle: I know Faraday has been a hydra before. Chesskid have you done hydra before?
Faraday head is there a reason you want to speak as one or was that Chesskid's idea?
@Ghostlin: Which of Ythill's 3 of post looked like he handled himself well and kept pressure going?Ghost wrote:Elect: Ythill: Disliking of his Wrath vote or not, the way he's handled himself seems pretty townie in this very early stage. He's kept up the pressure and is actively scumhunting.
Agar that was in the beginning with morph and ythill. He voted for Ghostlin later for making a poor case, hence my question to him.AGar wrote:Maybe when you try and push a wagon, you should, y'know, check a votecount.OhGodMyLife wrote:The above is said about SGR.

Because SGR is voting.

I honestly didn't know I put my in that sentence. I get interrupted often when I'm on MS when reading. I put everything into a notepad. Depending on the time (it says 8:19am when I made that post) it means I'm getting ready for work and getting everyone up and ready at the same time as checking the thread and writing out my cases or catch up post. I will be in the middle of a sentence when my son will ask for something, like more juice or to change the channel or potty ect. Then after getting to anything I can I'm running to get myself ready for work.ythill wrote:I know that, but I am trying to figure out what the error was. Let me explain. It seems like you initially wrote that he was on your radar, then tried to qualify it, then decided to write that he was on other people's radar.

I still want ghost to do what he said. Also why did you do an iso case on SGR and not check into Ani first?ghost wrote:I need to reread the game, see what people are seeing about Ani, and maybe even decide if Ythill's worth a vote.
Can you explain how you come to the conclusion?llama wrote:unvote
Vote Ghost
His entire early case against SGR is that SGR is trying to figure out what the ani case is somewhat inefficiently. I think its a good thing to try and force out that case, because im not too sure it exists at this point.
I sense a contradiction here. If a player has been around long enough and has been accused before of defending someone that many are attacking looks scummy, why would said player do that again if they are scum?animorpherv1 wrote:@farside:
@Meta - I see little to no reason for meta in most cases, because people can easily enough go around and switch their behaviors, which makes meta a null, imo.
@ no defense - I understand you are supposed to defend, I just saw a whole crap load of it.
@"that's not what I read" - That's a difference of opinion. I can't really argue that.
@ Scum D1 - SGR has been around for about a year. Something tells me that it's not a noob mistake, but a more planned gesture.
Pretty sure I explain why the my was there. Either you choose to believe me or not.Ythill wrote:@far:Okay, dropping the subject but since you can't (or won't) explain it, I'm logging it as a tell.

out of 3 people on this list 2 of him is due to defending SGR. This doesn't include behavoir or what anyone said. One thing. That's it. Nothing about how their playing, but because apparently in OGML's world all scum defend each other.If/when SGR flips scum, the following are his most likely buddies in order of likelihood:

Actually I have seen scum slip like Agar is talking about. It's an ongoing game so I can't link it. When someone says they are sure someone is scum, then switch to if that means there is a doubt.SGRaaize wrote:I disagree with Agar's logic.
When a person says Sure, it obviously doesn't mean he's 100% positive the target is gonna appear scum, I think Agar is trying to bust OGML on worthless semantics. And I find it hard to believe Agar actually believes what he's typing.
And yeah, as I said, I think this wagon is positive, I think OGML is just a Townie that isn't trying hard, Ghostlin is scum
We would appreciate if those of you who saw fit to trust us with an elect vote
Two post now where they push there we are town you should elect us. No one else seems eager like this in the game.

Sweet.
One had nothing to do with the other. This statement also reads, hey we aren't going to explain why we find far scummy, but vote us backstage and we will tell you.

Misrepresent much?
Speaking of someone who snips things out. Nice of you to completely leave out my point on you, which is still holding true.GG wrote: This contrasts very nicely UN-NICELY LOL with:

It's a reason I find you scummy. It's not the only scum tell. Because if it was the only thing I would call you a dumbass and get to scum hunting or I'm calling you scum. So yes in my book refusing to provide a case is scummy.

Well lets bypass that question right now.
Scum in my book who refuse or can't make a case, can't do it because they don't know how to present a case on someone other then their scum buddy, town has no reason to refuse to make a case, scum can hide behind voting people more easier if they have no case and blend in.
A Gaggle of Geese wrote:Can't say, etc. You apply the tell inconsistently though, that's for sure.
From what we can interpret of this question, you want to know how often we were going to vote someone with no words to "bait" them into OMGUSing us? Is that the question?farside22 wrote:far wrote:Let me ask you GG: How many baits were you willing to put out there? How many times are you going to bait a player before they are allowed to respond to false scum hunting?
If so, then the answer is just you for the moment. #242 was incredibly scummy, and given that our vote was in #243, how hard is it to figure out why we're voting you?
GG is saying I'm calling you scum based on your unelect comment when in fact I had a case on you and voted you way before that. His point on me about calling everyone scum that finds me suspicious I suspect is invalid.OhGodMyLife wrote:Unvote
farside, just because someone doesn't explicitly express suspicion of you doesn't mean they're not suspicious of you. Did you consider the possibility that I unelected you as I became suspicious of you?

*shrug*
*Note: I changed the link so it showed the correct place. I made a few grammar correction to be clear so my point is not ignored a second time.And What was suspicious about #242? Please share. the same thing I pointed out the OGML case hereexcept my second post was a reminder why OGML case isn't about tunnel vision . It's about misinterpreting and making false statement.
This means there was something you supposedly saw before that had you leaning scum on me and now your using a post number saying it's scummy without a reason.We would also not like to see Farside elected, as he is null leaning scum,
Sorry I must of missed this.A Gaggle of Geese wrote:A Gaggle of Geese wrote:I can't speak for my other head, since in the QT we both commented immediately after #242 something to the effect of "wow farside is scum". I found it very scummy because I read based on motivation, and there was no pro-town motivation in that post. All I see in that post is sarcasm and discretization.
I can't dispute that comment? I can't put the fact that those reason's listed above didn't cover the case I had on him?OhGodMyLife wrote:Guys, first off, tunnel vision isn't even scummy because its never been a bad thing to try to get the person you're sure is scum lynched, and second I haven't been exhibiting tunnel vision simply because I haven't voted for anyone else. Third, again, its not setting up chain lynches when what I've said is conditional. If scum then scum is the only relation I've posited. Its not like if he flips town I'll go durrr ok well I thought AGar was his scumbuddy so he must still be scum

Since my first question on this post got missed I'm adding a question now.Elect: GaggleofGeese: I've played with Chess before, and have been less than impressed, so I'm surprised at this election, HOWEVER, GG has shown remarkably good judgement in the beginning of this game.
Elect: Ythill: Disliking of his Wrath vote or not, the way he's handled himself seems pretty townie in this very early stage. He's kept up the pressure and is actively scumhunting.
This statement is false. Ghost voted SGR first before you made your comment. Why did you claim this?Agar wrote:Ghostlin gains more scumpoints for choosing the SGR wagon as his poison, after telling me my Large Game theory was essentially wrong.
Did I mean that werewolf vote. I said I would vote for him, if felt good, yes I know his play hence my vote. Do I believe in policy lynching.......I sometimes wish I did. I have seen VI's hurt the town many times over. This game at least lets us sacrifice a player in exchange for another.ghost wrote:Btw, a question I want to ask you that's ISO related: were you serious about your first vote in your ISO?

2) I have been changed my mind by the way OGML has acted under suspicions, and also the arguments used against him
3) There is enough info for the day to end because we have been moving at a snail's pace since we started a lynch on OGML

I see someone pushing for a quick lynch. I asked how long he had been on MS as Day 1 usually takes at least 2 weeks especially in large games.saint wrote:What is the point in that? It doesn't make sense
So him pushing a bad case on an easy lynch goes out the window? No thought on scum buddying townies?llama wrote:Farside still pushing for ani-town reasoning... egh. His iso 1 is a town post, he shows no freakout over me trying to get him lynched on policy, he is making elects he thinks is best for the town, he is pushing a case. I just read town up and down from it. Nothing else is scummy, so he is leaning town.

This was my biggest problem with Ghost.LL wrote:-Farside then challenges him on OGML and he admits he hadn't really noticed what OGML was posting at all before that point; fine, but why the eagerness to back the wagon if he's not your top lynch choice? He also says that SGR doesn't apply scumtells evenly to people, which is incredibly hypocritical in a post where he admits he barely noticed what OGML had posted for most of the game, and then later indicated that OGML had done some of the things he voted Tasky for, like sheeping wagons with no reason.

Both are I get this but still read town. In fact I think I found 4 or 5 post where your reads where feels town, but post. I would like to know what you think of LL, Ghost, Llama and Seacore.7. Ghostlin: Obviously didn't get my nerd joke, sarcasm is hard on the internet. So after I read his ISO, I had to go back and look at the cases being made on him because nothing really jumped out at me. I see Ythill put him at the top of his scumlist, but I see no explanation as to why. When pried further Ythill mentions Too Helpfull in #22 (I don't get this impression at all), Skimming and cognative dissonance in #43 (I do see some evidence of that and I think SGR and Seacore touch on that too) and populist in #76 (I have no clue what that term means in Mafia). Overall I don't get scum-read on Ghost.
WTF? Where? Seriously this is the same person who voted for Agar then unvoted and voted for Vezo to post a case on Agar.llama wrote: unelect GG

Then he repeats when ask how he came to the conclusionHis entire early case against SGR is that SGR is trying to figure out what the ani case is somewhat inefficiently. I think its a good thing to try and force out that case, because im not too sure it exists at this point.
Mind there were 3 points brought up against ani, versus his one issue with GhostlinHis case on SGR being about the ani case thing is in his iso-3. As I have said in the past, I really dont see a case on ani. Even with people trying to argue it to me, I think its a very weak case at best, and ani is probably town at this point.
