Eh, the whole reason I think scum are going to be in the hoods is 'cause mods putting a scum spy in the hoods is p common these days. Nothing Dave has said seems all that scummy too me (but that could be that I haven't read everything yet) and the only really niggle that I get from TSO is like, he'll lash out at anything he thinks is criticism so him being "oh yeah I'm grumpy" and just kinda laughing it off seemed a bit uncharacteristic? Do yo have a read on TSO and Dave?

Most people see minor value in them at best.
Goodmorning thinks there is some sort of pro-town aspect to them in some manner yet to be determined and may or may not be allowed to discuss it for fear of cluing in the scum to the brilliant advantage.
You may draw your own conclusions though.
What's your read on Pere by the by?-

I hadn't really thought much of the hoods, to be honest. I still don't know exactly what to think, though I feel like knowing who is in what neighborhood will be useful later on.
Right now I've got a slight townread on TSO, a null read on Davesaz, and a null read on you. If I had to choose scum out of those three, I'd probably vote you. (My read hasn't changed markedly from my (362), at least among my hood.)-

Mostly gut, based on your interactions with Toby and Csareo initially. I disagree with your (243) and (245), but they moved you out of an early scum read. (The alt-hater thing is not really alignment indicative, but I do have a thing against policy lynches.)
Since my initial read on you, you've slightly moved from minor scum to null-leaning-scum for a few things to do with TSO.-

Having multiple scumreads is no way a scumtell and he has no reason to move. This is a nonsensical pressure point statement and I think thats likely to come from scum.

@Thor
Spoiler: Stuff i am responding too
There were in fact TBMK 3 references to multifactions back then
Spoiler: The references
Why/How are they quite different IMO?
As indicated in my original post already they are in my opinion not very similar (tone, context, intent, and what not)
The differences are numerous.
Spoiler: some of the differences
Basically I find all arguments that superficially similar statements (both said Multiball) should receive the same response and be interpreted the same way to be silly.
For reference I am not saying you explicitly made such an argument but the post I was responding to quoted the post as if the quote stood for itself, aka simple.
In order to evaluate the alignment of PereV or you I will be examining the body of other work, and as I find significant parts of the interaction between both of you to be WAT(but assume I am confused), I will be primarily considering the parts of both your respective scum hunting where I think I understand what is going on. I neither understand Peres original point nor your strong focus on just that. (what other bits of his filter are also scummy?)
(Its possible I have missed it, if you or he has scum read other aspects of each others play as I have been time poor and largely focussed elsewhere.)-

Alright, one more short burst. Getting tired though.
Muffin's attack on Pere reads fake. Doesn't mean Pere is town if muffin is scum though. There's always the chance of tow scum groups, SK, or distancing/bussing.
Thor wrote: @Everyone - Pere claimed scum. I caught him. You may sheep me now.
I voted him before it was cool.
Axle being careful not to Amished-tell rubs me the wrong way. Mostly because it reads nervous, I think.
Pere wrote: If your scumrole implies it, Blue Mafia Goon, then that's fine.If your townrole implies it, then saying so right away makes a difference in how we scumhunt.Perhaps Thor has a similar role to you....
Possibly the worst post of the game so far.

@Axle - I find your response to me to focus mostly on the first question (a setup question) and to not address at all the other questions (scumhunting questions based off said setup) except to say 'later I will provide this.
Not particularly enthralled thus far, is what I'm saying. Maybe the expansion will become interesting.-

Not seeing where I said later I will provide this.
I did indicate that i thought your read on Pere was based on a very narrow, view of his filter, but that i may have missed it if you said more. (See ### below)
I did indicate that, I dont find the mention of multiball by you or the others to be
¨Both those move the dial towards the earlier references being more alarming to me. (but not very alarming at all)"
hence up to there, I dont really see what was so alarming to PereV.
My estimate of how strange it is that PereV found your multiball reference alarming will depend on em guessing or knowing
¨Level of certainty expressed.
Yours contains a much stronger belief in multiball than the others. If at the time Pere did not know (or recall) that that was backed by some facts then I can see him triggering harder of your statement than theirs as he would wonder where the certainty came from.¨
He indicated a statistical based belief that many games were not multiball.
The fact that he was wrong, in that IMO enough games have been multiball to make your statement plausibly based on stats, does not make him scum as being wrong or bad or mistaken is not the same as scum.
As I am not so far Buying the Pere is scum because he called you scum for the multiball thing, I hardly expect you to be enthralled.
My reply to you was mostly based on the stuff i had been thinking most about when I asked you my question.
That stuff I believe goes to what i see as the heart of the matter,
Is Thor scummy for mentioning Multiball? Is anyone else who did prior to him?
How plausible is it that a Town player might react as PereV did and think it was a scum tell?
###
A question I have not considered in detail, is are Pere or Thor (or both) avoiding the rest of the thread, by discussing that one point at length. My feel is no.-

In order to be convinced PereV is scum, and buy into your ´çase´/wagon I would need to see a continuing pattern of behaviour. I don´t believe your thread discussion with him or the points you have made do that.-

You are perfectly correct I made clear what i had and had not done.
I read what you originally said.
Thor: ¨and to not address at all the other questions (scumhunting questions based off said setup) except to say 'later I will provide this.¨
as a claim i had stated i would answer the questions you claimed i had not, but do it later.
I had in fact as far as i still can tell answered each point, if not then by now I have done it twice.-

Yeah. It's a null tell that is, IMO, pro-town. Knowing who can talk to one another overnight is useful information. I'm not actually sure what part of this you are questioning?In post 714, Scripten wrote:My neighborhood is davesaz, Nero Cain, and TSO. I believe this may have already come out,but I'd like it in my ISO for people to see.
I fail to understand why you chose to include the bolded statement. It sounds like you want to intentionally include something that *could* be seen as pro-town just for the sake of appearances. I don't see why a town player would be so concerned about making surethis detailis on their ISO. As long as they can confirm that no information about the hood is being lied about, then what is it to a town player whether they or another player opened up about it?
In post 805, Scripten wrote:(The alt-hater thing is not really alignment indicative, but I do have a thing against policy lynches.)
Seems somewhat contradictory to what you said here
In which you are saying you would policy lynch someone on the basis that they support policy lynches. This is like pushing for capital punishment on people who support capital punishment. Does someone else come along and policy lynch you for policy lynching someone who supports policy lynches? Where does this chain end? You're perpetuating the very thing you're trying to stop... and then now say you're against it?I have the comprehensive ability of a vegetable.-

I don't actually see why a town player would specifically go out of their way to tailor their ISO to be "townier" in appearance, regardless of the details in question. It just seems like a counter-productive thing to be doing when you could be instead spending time actually, you know... looking for scum. It's like trying to coif your hair in the middle of a house fire. Like... get your priorities straight here. Survival > Appearances.I have the comprehensive ability of a vegetable.-

In post 746, TierShift wrote:In post 744, Thor665 wrote:Hint: I am scumhunting you.
That is not an excuse for your tone.
He seems to speak this way to anyone not agreeing with him. It irks me as a player, but I haven't played with Thor prior to this nor have I checked his previous games to know if this sneery, condescending tone of his is par for the course or if it could be alignment-indicative. I can't work past my personal bias to get any sort of read on him.
I do like both of these posts (and I think there was another from you [TierShift] touching on this but couldn't find it skimming your ISO) for addressing something that I've been meaning to address to Thor:
@Thor: Drawing different conclusions or applying a different brand of logic than you doesn't make me terrible town. Nor does it make me scum. It simply means that I have evaluated something differently than you have. You think I'm terrible town for having "faulty logic", while I think you're terrible town for your dogmatic attitude. The vast majority of your posts have this stick-up-your-ass tone that is quickly getting old. I would love to give you an unbiased read that isn't influenced by my incredible distaste for your attitude, because right now all I'm thinking is "I just want Thor out of the game, regardless of his alignment." For that to happen, I would need you to step back a bit, get off your high horse, and cut this "I art superior to thou" crap that you're doing. Maybe you're right about EVERYTHING in this game, and I am WRONG about everything in this game. Perhaps it's the other way around. It still does not give you the right to be a complete ass to myself or other players in the way I see you doing. I'll leave that ball in your court. Do as you please.I have the comprehensive ability of a vegetable.-

Actually, I'm still thinking about this (819).... It does remind me of a similar scenario from my first forum mafia game, so Icansee how a town player would think that this is a townie thing, however I have since adopted a different stance on this that I think is more fitting of the forum venue. I'm seeing both sides of this coin, so I don't really have a read on it.
For reference, here is the post that this is reminding me of: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 9#p6094589I have the comprehensive ability of a vegetable.-

Kind of works with the Masquerade theme I suppose.
Which is an assertion of fact when, only IIRC one neighbourhood had been outed at the time.
