He has not I think he was only scum one if I recall

My main thing on him right now is why he is basically avoiding his read. On you
Hmm. I would have loved a bigger sample size, because I know that he's intelligent enough to try and replicate his Town play as Scum.

One thing that did stick out to me from Nickelodeon Mafia is that he didn't bus until told to, but rather leapt onto Town when it looked relevant. So probably Town points for Ulti and Wall if BCT is Scum.

Sheep:

No, I would not believe you did that to bait me.

Thank you for reminding me about that post - the Death thing wasn't the biggest thing that stood out to me about you. It was the biggest thing that was yet unsaid. My biggest thing on you is that I find (still do) your posts on page 1 to be, idk, forcing a personality?

And my unvoting on you wasn't just for the reasoning I gave - it's mainly because I reread your actions on page 1 topic 1 and thought it didn't make sense from a Scum perspective, in spite of me feeling suspicious of your tone.
Hmm. Thanks for clarifying, I do appreciate it and your perspective seems a little more coherent to me now.

(And it was not entirely to bait you, but it was one of the things in my mind when I claimed without flavour. I don't think it's a great metric to put any read at all on, especially when you've actively mentioned it in the community before).

Chris, I'm not sure if you've discussed it specifically yet, but how do you feel about Han's justification of unvoting me?

I'm asking this partially because the last time I was town and Han was Scum he killed me within like twelve hours of me joining the game, and I'm slightly aware I may be falling for the JC bait and missing the scum trying to get in my good books, which has led me down a bit of a path of thinking Han's actions might be driven by not wanting to rile me up. All ego, I'm sure, but humour me for a moment.

HanOfTheNekos posted...
Is it bad that I actually don't know what you're taking about here?
To clarify, when you voted me, you said "I vaguely agree or don't care about the other cases against Sheep, but I don't think he can actually read Death that well", and I'm not entirely sure I believe that read.

Thoughts on Sheep:

Vote: Sheep

I agree or don't care about a lot of what's been said, but I want to add that Death is anything but an open book and that's what stuck out to me this morning. I don't believe that read.

I also find it slightly curious that you then fairly quickly unvoted me without putting much more pressure on, and most of your reasoning (while it's basically correct), is mostly based on the fact that Scum doesn't do what I did. It doesn't take me claiming to figure that out. I know you said that a reread led to this thought process, so maybe I'm just assuming things that felt fairly obvious with my full knowledge of my role should have also been obvious to you (which clearly isn't true considering basically everyone had a bad reaction to my start).

And one more thing - would you believe me if I said not putting my flavour in was bait specifically for you? I love Star Trek and I knew my flavour well enough to just claim it off the cuff if I wanted, plus I know you've mentioned that "oh scum claims flavour" thing in multiple previous games. Possibly my ego getting in the way again, but I feel like you're aware enough and have mentioned that little tell a few games running now, to the point I'd expect you to second-guess it a little more.

Bleh. Halfway through an ISO on Han, and my main thought is that his vote on me was as meh as I remembered it being. Of all the reasons to name for voting me, it strikes me as off that he took the game in a way that my read on Death (something I legitimately felt pretty strongly about. I still do, although I've not yet received one of the 100% TownDeath tells from him) is what he thought was most noteworthy.

I am also mildly confused upon refreshing seeing Han talk about Lea being busy and then that she seriously needs to post more? Even with my mild suspicions of her, I don't feel like she needs to post more frequently in the slightest, I'd just be feeling better about her if her posts had more weight in the game.

Do you remember how she snap voted her buddy for posting a list day 1? Then when you claimed tracker she tried to defend you at first which is why I shot her night 1.

She actually was really aggressive at times that day 1. I remember because I shot her for it.
I'm thinking more of the shitpost phase when I say early on, but I'll keep this in mind when I read through. I don't think I can use her PokeWars D1 as a massive read regardless, because she definitely didn't exhibit the same behaviour in the game where she was Scum that I replaced into, just a nugget of info I've got stored.

I remember Lea in poke wars as scum being much more try hard than this. She seems to be just floating like a leaf on the wind seeing where things lead which I think is a hallmark of her town play from memory. That woman does the most when she is scum lmao
Hmm, that's fair. I remember at the start of PokeWars, Lea was relatively light on content but had a very large presence just commenting, before getting really into it later on. I find myself struggling to remember her producing much this game that made me think anything of her beyond being amusing, which has made me a little wary.

Seriously, we're still talking about possibilities and the like, with NO information to go on. And you think we should deny ourselves ANY information a lynch can tell us? Only scum would want to do that.

Lynches are the best way to get information and suggesting a No Lynch on D1 is not something pro-town.
Okay. How would you feel if I said that many mafia communities in the past (perhaps less so now) default to NL when there's no major suspect, and it's likely that Wall came from one of those given he suggested it?

9 hours to go until end of day and were nowhere near a consensus. How does everyone feel about a no lynch?
We do not do no lynch here (partially because it's boring, partially because crazy lynches D1 are tradition, partially because it gets you a ton of info).

Also, politely asking for no particular reason, would anyone who may think this dude is Scum like to raise their hand?

I am not convinced ulti is scum but I am pretty much convinced ulti is not vanilla. If his initial enthusiasm was based on the player list I dont get why it dwindled when the player list hasnt yet. At first I thought maybe hes town power and doesnt want to draw too much attention. Is ulti a player who would make this post as town power? Looking for some genuine insight from the folks who know him best
Yes, Ulti would make this post as literally anything. I think it's relatively null and ignorable and just the dude having a giggle.

You, for putting the gun to my head.

lol, j/k, I'm questioning Ulti a lot right now given how he's changed his mind several times and ignored me asking why. He suspected me, then suddenly didn't think I was scum anymore when he was ignored. Something's up with him.
I think Ulti's logic there for backing off was that when I'm Scum, I tend to only Townread Town, because I like looking like a good player (kinda true! but definitely not always).

Is it a fair assessment that you're not all that sure on Ulti, but are moreso confused? And would it therefore be fair to say you don't have any solid scumread?

Sheep maybe loudest isnt quite accurate, but I believe Han was the first person to call out how you babied BCT and said youd treat him as town the entire game because it would become obvious if hes scum. Iirc everyone else just raised an eyebrow about your claim post
I stand by my BCT post. I don't think everyone should treat him the same way as I plan to, but you want to get things out of him in atypical ways (such as my being a condescending little turd), because he responds badly to straightforward pressure.

I found the panic claim from sheep to be uncharacteristic of previous scum play. I found no obvious buddies trying to come to his rescue post claim from the list ctes gathered although iirc speaking of potential pairings jc was one of the people who hadn't commented at that time.

I think if it turns out sheep is scum then his wagon at that point is pure.

As for sheep himself I haven't read over night closely yet and I saw he posted some. I don't really like any of his early play but it also messes with me that sheep is just blatantly admitting that my read is on point to being close to a previous scum game.

Enough doubt to give sheep a chance to settle in more as he is very good as town when he isn't mislynching doctors.
Do you think there's any chance of my wagon being pure given me being Town? I've being mulling it over in my head and there's no votes that stick out to me as being particularly likely to come from Scum, but it also feels a little unlikely that Scum just sat back and watched the wagon without wanting to pile on.

Han, not to mention, you were the loudest by far against sheep when the game first started.
I'm not sure I entirely agree with this. From my perspective, the players I felt seemed strongest in their views on me up til my claim were Crescent, Ulti, Chris, and you, in roughly that order. I'd probably even put Sultan above Han. I'm normally fairly scared of Han, but he was one of the less noteworthy sources of pressure at least in my view. Not sure if that's because his heart wasn't in it (for any number of reasons) or just because he wasn't round much when I was, but I don't think Han was ever all that adamant in going for me.

In case you come to this and wonder what I'm asking...

Chaeix posted...
If Sheep is scum and Dumey is town, then I think that Sheep throwing a second soulread/town read out on Death was likely an attempt to distance or decouple.

So to clear this up... JC, am I correct in saying you think that after I made Dumey look better to the game through my read on him, I then tried to do the same with my scumbuddy Death?

Okay MZero agrees with me making him obviously town cool

I would like to second Wall asking for elaboration from Dumey on what about the response to my claim stood out.

And also, to kinda address the concerns from Crescent and Wall, my limp reaction to being voted is mostly because I am not up for being obtuse and stubborn this game, especially on a point where I very well understand where others are coming from. Frankly, I will likely not have the energy for it until I find something worth being obtuse over.

I will also say that I kinda like Wall leaving their vote to stew? It doesn't feel whatsoever like lazily leaving their vote on me - they keep bringing it up to remind everyone that I exist, and I think that's very pro-town behaviour, both for creating pressure and because Scum could just safely slink off me at this point.

I have gleaned surprisingly little from what I missed overnight beyond kinda liking MZero's posts on Dumey, and finding pretty much all of Wall's posts worthwhile. I also felt that Sultan seemed better on initial read but skimming back over I can't tell what exactly gave me that thought, so I'm gonna keep it on the back burner for a while.

To bring things full circle a little, MZero, thoughts on Death?

I also take mild offence to Ulti saying my scum style is being magically right about everything, because that's also my Town style. I'm just (understandably) more confident in my reads when scum.

Now, this far into the game I've essentially not discussed two players in particular. I'm gonna do an ISO of them both (Han and Lea) a little later, but I'm really struggling to read either. This isn't necessarily uncommon for me with Han, at least (and he's had a quiet game), but it's kinda odd that Lea is not screaming Town to me just yet? I liked the tone of some of her posts a little while after unvoting me, but I've felt much more strongly about most other players, which is concerning considering how much of a presence she is.

So I just went back and did an ISO of Death to see whether my gut had any logic that could either be correct, or confirmation bias, only time will tell.

Death, you have offered shockingly few actual opinions. The entirety of your content this topic has been asking Sheep his thoughts on people, with a few stray words here and there. Even outside of asking Sheep his thoughts on people, almost everything you've said since post 250 of Topic 1 has been in discussion with Sheep, or about Sheep.

What are your thoughts on the game outside of Sheep?
Oh dear. I've accidentally corralled Death into thinking about me as much as I do him. Poor blighter.

I do struggle a little to follow your train of thought with the link between me and Death and me and Dumey, JC. You reckon that if I'm Scum and Dumey is Town, I'm deliberately linking myself with my scumbuddy Death, in an attempt to cover the muddy, townclearing footprints I've stomped all over the game?

I would call my read on Death much closer to a soulread than what I felt on Dumey btw. I've not really been more than moderately leaning Town on Dumey internally (they're probably like my fourth highest townread? after BCT/Death/Crescent) but I wholeheartedly wanted to be a little bitch about it at the start. That said, I am slightly puzzled how anyone sees Death so far in this game and calls him Scum. It's possible JC and I are just mortally opposed souls.

okay I really really do not like that JC post. Not sure if it's entirely because of him hard disagreeing with me on Death? But there's a lot I'm not sold on. Lea soul read? Where did MZero engage in actual discussion? There's neither enough strong opinions there to warrant a list, nor many good ones. I'm also curious as to what made you like Chris?

And I would add that I reckon Ulti is much, much more likely to play this way if Chris is around (I will give you the benefit of the doubt on that one due to not having played with Chris).

To answer your question, Death, I feel a little better about Sultan? He got kinda aggy when I pushed him and started pushing back on me himself. I kinda wish I'd given myself a lil more time on the claim if only to get more of that, but it felt like a natural irritated reaction. I think I'm slightly leaning town at this point, but it's very close to neutral and subject to change.

I'm generally not too concerned with getting votes unless they're later in the game, very late in the day, or from players who don't tend to put them down and might not be around to take them off (I'd probably be quite concerned if I got votes from Ctes, Death or MZero). I mostly just claimed because there was a good half of the game on my back, and I'd rather not drag out what was a butchered play.

On this topic, I'm fairly convinced Crescent is Town, but I am kinda interested to know why she didn't vote me despite being pretty clear that she thinks I'm Scum? I might have missed it, but I don't think she's ever been super reserved with her voting.

Also, fwiw Wall, I think BCT's recent post you responded to in #90 makes me feel a lil better about him again? I think him thinking he's being framed is very perspective-indicative, and I don't think he makes that framing connection if he's scum and knows I'm not.

1) I feel ignored, very rude.

2) The game has barely started so I don't see how too much of the game has been spent discussing you to be productive.

3) Surely you have some thoughts about this ominous train that threatens to engulf you? It seems like a cop out to be all "four people constitute a consensus so there's no point in analyzing these votes"

The emotion dripping from this post is fearful avoidance, which is weird because despite my best jingoism it's like, still ultimately a very tepid pressure right now. Kind of a hair trigger claim, tbh.

Apologies for ignoring you, I was tryna get to everything and then saw there was a lot of it and kinda gave up on doing it all in time and just dumped what I had out there.

I don't think too much of the game so far has necessarily been spent on me, but I do think that my Doing a Benjamin drew a lot of attention towards me, and I was not as prepared as I believed I was to fend it off nor squeeze content out of it (especially as nobody else seemed to get very much out of it beyond suspicion of me). Also, I frankly didn't wanna do the stupid "please claim" game for most of the rest of today - I think it's a waste of time and frustrates me no end being on either side of it.

I think the votes were decently justified, honestly? I'm definitely playing a bit off from what I was last time I had a town D1, there's plenty of dumb things I've said, and there's none I take massive issue with. I think everyone had a pretty decent progression, and I'd have been more surprised if basically everyone who did vote me hadn't voted me once? You're probably the biggest exception, but I think the sheeping is basically a null-tell at this stage. Chris especially I'd expected to jump on, and I honestly don't take issue with anyone else's reasons beyond them being wrong. I feel Dumey's unvote might actually have been a bit hasty, because I'm not sure my claim is enough juice to put anyone off immediately without a different direction to go in, but then I also know nothing about Dumey's style.

Would any of y'all believe me if I say I legitimately considered claiming Vanilla early? I don't think I've rolled town power more than once in like 20+ town games on B8 (admittedly about half of those replacements). I wanted to do something to shake it up.

I was kinda hoping I'd actually do alright and have one of those games where literally nobody suspects me, I don't ever really need to claim and scum gives in and blind shoots me N3. It's been known to happen! Alas, not this time.

I don't wanna engage tooo much in wifom, but I would invite anyone who is considering why I would do that as Town to also consider what I would gain from it as Scum. Like, what benefit is there to drawing intentional heat on myself if I'm Scum here, because I know full well a softclaim early is gonna put some focus on me. I'd be a fuckin idiot (don't get me wrong, I am, but not in that way) to draw attention to myself as Scum in a game with Chris after he skinned me alive last time I was Scum with him.

Sheep did you not consider the ramifications of claiming nilla?
I did. I then thought about how likely I would be to murder someone if they held off claiming for 24 hours after that softclaim and all the votes. I would be very likely to do so, and so just cut my losses. I strongly doubt Scum are killing me anytime soon after all this, so wasn't really bothered about not drawing a kill. I considered fakeclaiming a power role but there's only so much I can do with my flavour and faking flavour woulda probably given Scum more info than Town, or just forced someone else to reveal info they would rather keep.

Hello, back now! Apologies for leaving pretty quickly and not addressing a lot of questions. I'll get to them in order-ish although it might be a while, because it appears there are many. I think the most easy to address is flavour. I'm Kasidy Yates-Sisko. I'll get to others in due time.

So youre mad that I haven't really got started yet?

There have been plenty of people not to make any reads by that point either why single me out specifically?
I genuinely wanted to know your thoughts and you happened to be there at the time, plus your posts to that point were very fluffy and I wasn't too fond of the responses you were giving.

Saying something made him go "huh" =/= Actively voicing suspicion.

Feels more like you putting the words in his mouth to justify throwing shade on him. I don't get anything out of Sultan so far except he doesn't seem to have his head in the game yet and that isn't AI to me.
I didn't take it as voicing suspicion either? I just find it strange that Sultan would not say anything about it at all and then mention it as the most noteworthy part of the game to him. You could well be right and it's just that he isn't fully in the game yet - I would hope that me actively trying to do things to get him to talk help with that!

Hm, I'm not quite following how it was any less unnecessary yesterday to do two claims. Like yeah sure, get the game going but game had been going on for like minutes. The point of the claims ever being mentioned to begin with seemed to be because of the roles themselves to me.
I don't think it was (much) less unnecessary, but I would have enjoyed it more. Perhaps it's been rash, but whether something seems fun has been my attitude for a lot of today.

I'm just gonna claim straight up, because I don't think I can get away with not doing so today and it would probably distract everyone for the next 24+ hours if I carry on without doing so? But I'm vanilla and was trying to be cute at the start of the day. I'm sorry for making a lot of today so far about me - I played everything up a lot last night to get people talking and it kinda backfired (I was not expecting myself to take up all that much space). I'm happy to have gotten a lot of content out of it, but I think too much of today has been focused on me for it to actually be productive, especially if I get lynched: I think there's a decent enough consensus for it already that I'm not sure you'd get many reads analysing the votes.

Gonna be away for a couple hours, and then will be back to answer any questions.

That makes sense, but then why yesterday?
Because it was the start of the game. I'm fine with doing just about anything to get it going, less fine now that it's very unnecessary.

Crescent-Moon posted...
What specifically is this referring to again
Sultan did not mention that he was suspicious of Dumey or found his claim/no claim thing odd until I and then Chris specifically prompted him, and then went on to say it was the only thing that he found particularly weird in the game as of post #277.

TheSultanOfSlam posted...
Also sheep did I mention any reads other than maybe BCT to the point you asked me about reads? Just curious beacuse like you are acting like I made a wall read post and mentioned everyone but you and Dumey. I don't think I really mentioned much of anyone to that point to be honest.
No, you didn't make many reads at all (which I didn't particularly like and was what got me started on you). I specifically asked about myself and Dumey because it seemed one of the most important things (or at least the most likely to cause an opinion) to happen so far and I found it a little odd it went entirely unmentioned.

This feels completely noncommittal to actually making game-solving progress.
Okay Crescent - what do you make of Sultan admitting the most important thing that happened in the game, to him, was just something he forgot to mention?

If Dumey really wants to same time claim I wouldn't be entirely opposed to it, but I am inclined to think that encouraging unnecessary claims of people I lean town on on D1 is not the best strategy. I'd probably rather claim by myself, if it comes to that.

Also, I'm mostly non-committal to voting because I don't really see the point? Like, right now I would only vote to achieve pressure, but I don't think it's necessary. Not like Sultan needed a push to answer my questions.

I don't really have any other suspects, tbh, Sultan. Nobody else has rubbed me the wrong way, beyond very minor things.

So important you aren't even voting him?

Oh sheep lol
Yes. It's utterly vital.

For an entirely serious answer, I wanted to press him for answers without him feeling like I was incredibly suspicious of him because that gets some people to say a little more, and I'm happy to have gotten the info I got. He's definitely not at a stage where I'm wanting to kill him with fire or anything. I don't feel like voting him is gonna get me any new answers right now and I'll come back round nearer EoD if nobody else sticks out to me.

I caught Death with his first post last time I was Town and he was Scum! Take it with a dose of salt and develop your own read, obviously, but that read is positively brimming with honesty.

I'd be surprised if someone told him to react that overdefensively to a scan. Hat off if true.
I don't think he would have run every single thing by his scumteam before posting, really?Probably depends on its specific composition, but most teams don't try and have that much control over what anyone says, even if they are a new player.

Almost nothing of what he said in that post was a particularly difficult read to arrive at, and from my angle "he checked logs he must be Town" could easily be Scum telling Scum "this is what I usually play like".
Particularly difficult to arrive at, maybe not. Unusual for ScumDeath? I'd say so. In his last two games where he started as Scum (Fire Emblem Awakening and Nickelodeon), his first important posts had attempts at reads but was mostly fluff. This game he actually took a firm and early stance on multiple issues, and didn't give me the ick. It's not as solid as it could have been, but more than enough for me to feel it's firmly in his town game.

I am playing yakuza so I will answer other things in a bit but just want to note it is totally unbelievable that sheep would be irritated that I am pursuing someone similar to him

Like people wait a lifetime to pounce on someone with me

Sheep you seem to really care a lot about your image right now.

Look, it's important for my ego that I get all the credit for any Sultan lynch. I'm insecure, Chris. This mafia game is all I have.

Sheep this is the past thst pinged me to be like huh maybe he knows something.

He was panic mode as scum too and was only scum once.

Though I also hosted that game so I knew But maybe im just remembering all the panic in the scum chat that game and it wasn't so forward in the Topics?
I feel like the panic was more controlled in the topics, yeah. Like, in the other games I've seen BCT, he felt like he was on the edge of replacing or snapping at any given point. In the scum game I was with him, he seemed more worried than irritable, and like he wanted to hide constantly. I think he's been too aggressive and not hidey enough to be scum (admittedly based on a small sample size!)

HanOfTheNekos posted...
I agree or don't care about a lot of what's been said, but I want to add that Death is anything but an open book and that's what stuck out to me this morning. I don't believe that read.
Huh. That's kinda interesting to me that of all my thoughts that one sticks out, because I'm fairly confident on it. And obviously the dude isn't an open book, I just feel pretty confident in my ability to cold-read him. Death, in my experience, does not commit to so many reads so quickly very often at all, but especially as Scum. #211 feels far very direct and precise towards several people, and I honestly think ScumDeath doesn't bother using the logs to check if I have made early activity excuses before.

Do you particularly think BCT is hard to read, Sultan? You said yourself you were confident BCT is Town on page three, and it's about the only solid read you've given.

Good question.
I have no answer to this though.
I'm actually mildly irritated that Chris went down the Sultan line too, because now it feels like I'm copying him even though I was first.

Fr, Sultan is my only actual scumread so far. Avoiding talking about the major topic of the game until specifically asked, and then mentioning it as the most standout thing is not exactly town behaviour.

TheSultanOfSlam posted...
This might be more jokey.

Says he might not be active has probably been the most active
I wasn't planning on being particularly active! I kinda forgot that Mafia gives me a massive adrenaline rush and it's given me enough energy to actually think for the first time in a year or so.
