Not a fan of the immediate VT claim btw. Not scummy or anything just... bad imo.
IIoA, kinda filler

#71
Null on everyone. Not hopping on the viper bandwagon because I don't fully see it.
at this point you should be able to make reads off of some people, you've seen multiple interactions that could seem particularly scummy
i think the viper bandwagon is a fair point though, but the apathy here is concerning

The VT claim serves as no help for getting a read. Intuiting anything from this would be pointless.
hard disagree, multiple people have concluded thoughts about heal but i guess i'll let this one slide

#134
Day 1 VT claim is a bad thing and I don't like it. Please claim something else. Preferably TFPTSLBOOIA.
I'd say that Hal is always mad but in the two games I've played with him he has been scum both times. I have seen him get mad in a game I hosted but it was more FFA. I think it's just his personality though.
Texas is the beacon of light and we should sheep him unless he turns out to be scum and writes a random living player's name in red. He has posted a decent amount which does tend to be town lean for him.

Ayy lmao it's actually his first time.
Never played with Smogon Account. Inactivity like this is not particularly useful.
Dusk is fairly new iirc so his deflecting is actually a fairly plausible reason for him to be scum with Hal... idk though.
Viper is a hard one to pin for me as well. His reactions to posts make me think he's probably scum but it's hard to tell.
Caffeine is almost definitely scum because he has a very ugly nose.

Anywhom. Is there a vote count? I saw L-1 get mentioned at some point... wait I haven't read the entirety of the thread yet. BACK IN A MOMENT!
this whole post just reeks of filler
basically what you decipher from this post is
texas town lean
everyone else null, except you don't even mention smogacc/lazer/heal/me?????? the latter three have posts in this game that can be indicative of alignment at this point of the game
viper could be scum
duskfall98/apricity are buddying so probable scumteam, but noting that hal's personality is how he always asks so he may not be scum

this is about 5-6 pages in the game so you definitely can assert/strengthen/make reads at this point of the game if at least a bit wary, caution is always prevalent but you entered with a post like this and made relatively no conclusions and doesn't do anything in regards to scumhunting at all

#142
Hey Nuxl, you seem experienced for a first timer. This means one of several things.
  1. You have played live games hence the specific mention of forum games in your signup post.
  2. You have played forum games and are a compulsive liar
  3. You are actually in the Sicilian Mafia and have learnt the game through real life.
Pick. My read on you will depend greatly on the option you choose.
okay, this question is actually so fucking weird for reasons that i bought up before. how is my past experience at all AI? what conclusion are you trying to make here? why are you only asking me who everyone is TRing here?

#223
jk he's actually trolling; so his only question this game is completely irrelevant to the context and doesn't advance his mindset at all? ok lol

#243
You are reading way too much into a joke. I am aware that my activity has been rather bad but still.
your activity is irrelevant to the fact that you basically admitted to trolling lol, why ever do this as town?
i get your previous jokes but they're just that versus something that should legitimately only be asked in context of RvS, if ever at all?


I don't see anybody as particularly towny. This isn't due to nobody being towny, I just have a hard time trusting that people are contributing genuinely.
this is now 11-12 pages into the thread and yet you can't get anything conclusive at all here? lol?

in previous games even though your d1 activity wasn't stellar you still put in the effort to scumhunt and ask real questions and suspect people and point out things you found weird and as well as posting readlists. this isn't done this game which is concerning

As for my suspect list, I currently lean towards a lynch for Heal or IFML. I'd only lynch IFML to sheep Texas since when he's town he seems to be very good at reading people. As bad as it is, I do trust his read a decent amount.
why sheep texas if you think he has the potential to not be genuine

Heal's initial VT claim alongside his idea that either Hal or Viper is scum and if Viper is scum then I'm scum etc. doesn't really make too much sense to me.
wait i thought you said heal's VT claim was something you couldn't get a read from? it's being brought up here to paint him in a bad light?
this whole read in general seems very fillerish but probably with lack of explanations


Hal and Viper is in my eyes a plausible scumpair since Hal could easily use Viper as a way to establish a TvS argument which has occurred in games before this. Hal is suspicious as well and I don't fully trust that his read on me is genuine but there's not much else I have to say about Hal.
first point of analysis in the entire game barring the fact that hal's usual pressure onto viper in past games is scum!hal on town!viper; just seems to me like a good way to point out something that seems to be "makes you wanna think". this is never approached at all during the rest of d1 btw

also ifml literally brought this up earlier and i have made a counterargument to this but doesn't respond to anything previously mentioned in the past few pages

As far as less precise readings go, I think that there is at least 1 scum in the non passive passive aggressive love triangle between Hal Heal and Viper.
IFML could very well be scum if Texas's read is to be followed. Smogon account's complete inactivity makes him simultaneously a hard null and a scum lean. If it continues then I reckon the null bit will disappear.
The most likely candidates for town would be Texas and Nuxl but it's too early for me to determine if they really are town.

So the vote pool is as follows: one of Hal, Heal, IFML, and Viper.
this post doesn't really mention who he thinks is most scummy; and this whole line of reasoning doesn't seem geniune on a second look, nor changes his vote to jump on a wagon

#259
I can't say that I have personal thoughts on IFML without saying what Texas has already said. He seems to be in a scum mindset. It's been pointed out and I kinda agree with it. You haven't misread.
why is echoing someone a problem? barring lack of analysis. it's cool to get new perspectives because this way we can approach people in a different light and catch things that we missed

I got lazy... well, returned to being lazy. Also are these one word answers? I gave one as a response to Nuxl and you've gone ahead and pluralised it.
uses laziness as an excuse. this isn't a question that gives you a conclusion. do you not want to be townread or anything?

Low activity really. Everything that I have to say rn has been said... well except these responses. Again, the only example of me undermining something is Nuxl's post saying "distancing". It was what, page 1 or 2? Of course there's going to be uncertainty. I'm not gonna waste my vote though. Always vote the scummiest looking person (even if they're not particularly scummy).
again, echoing is a problem? there is no post in question that may look odd, or any scumhunting that you'd like to partake in?

also at this point, caffeine's current vote is on heal

#261
"I scumread hal. Unvote hal."
filler

doesn't provide any analysis or response to vipers post aside from this nor again in d1

#265
okay I'll concede that one
filler

#266
Can somebody post a vote count?
this could be a genuine question or an opportunity to jump on a wagon

#284
PR fishing in public can lead to giving information to scum. There is a 66% chance that this information will be useful to town. There is a 100% chance that this information could be useful to scum. It does not make sense to fish for PR's as town. No point in jeopardising town's PR's by publicly pointing them out. When the time is right, they will claim.
attempt to gain towncred?

#366
Unvote: Heal
Vote: Smogon Account
jumps on the easy L-2 wagon, does not bring up smog acc at ALL before his null and/or scum lean


Weak reasons behind all his supposed reads, sometimes no reasons at all
yep this was brought up earlier

and he's willing to give up his scum lean on Dusk to vote for me
um he didn't say this at all? he doesn't even say dusk is scummy, where did you get to this conclusion? he says Dusk is town multiple points in the game?

and doesn't even have the decency to tell us why. He just did it because Hal did it.
other people have lacked reasoning to their votes earlier, you call him out on this compared to a few other d1 posters?
interesting conclusion, where did you come to this?

Why has IFML gone from a scum read to a town read?
an attempt at townhunting/understanding reasoning compared to the entirety of caff's d1 when it's likely Smog Acc will be lynched irregardless

in conclusion I feel Caffeine's play this game is entirely reliant on coasting, there are issues i have with his positioning this game compared to his attempts in greek mythology/hope +1

he is a lot more apathetic and is whatever at multiple points of this game and doesn't really attempt to town hunt and/or scum hunt at all

alternatively he is just not reading the game at all

lemme know what you guys think

TL;DR:

Mr. Inactive suddenly gets active and still somehow says nothing. /QUOTE]

i think a caff/ifml team is plausible.

caff/viper? maybe. think this is less so than above team. i do not think it is ifml/viper at all for wagon reasons.

might do another one of these on ifml because this is helping my thought process a lot

also i hard disagree with the d1 hammer especially when we didn't get stuff talking about a few people. the smog acc lynch was fine with me but i did want to get a few people talking a bit more, specifically:

ItzViper482 ImmaFirinMahLazer

you both should talk about what you were addressing/asked in d1. i've seen IFML lurking a few times even after his name has been brought up

i would not like to turbo today honestly, let's talk things out

By the way I was trying to push mafia onto heal to get rid of one of the more suspicious players from my perspective. That vt claim was still ass though.
if you say so

Ah shit was thinking we could come up with a strategy utilising the fact 2/7 are power roles and can claim now but it might be only 1 person.
ew, no. the mafia have more information than town in regards to which column they're in, so they can just adapt their claims to whatever the PR(s) are and then those are the night kills for the next one/two nights, right?

if you say so

Yeah no since we have no idea what (or how many) power roles there are. Although saying that someone may have received an interaction and be able to give us info as to what roles are out there now.
 
Heal, Nuxl and Texas are my town reads, they are both very info forward and continually help the town. Their were some things I dont fully understand tho.

I expect your claim by 6 PM PST tomorrow or your "not getting lynched today" status is revoked
Nobody else should be claiming if that wasn't clear, we vote smogon account without hammering (leave at L-2 so he can't self hammer) and apricity claims by the deadline I've set
Can I get some further explanation on why you seem to be persistent on apricity claiming on day 1? and are you still wanting him to claim?

Caffeine, Apricity, Dusk and Viper are Neutral.
Caffeine, Dusk and Viper are leaning slightly on the mafia side of neutral while Hal is leaning town.


Hal is likely just frustrated town, although hes been eractic with lynching, posts like these are showing me that he's town and hes becoming frustrated as no one is listening to him.

aight, get me out of this game

nuxl/dusk/heal/tex town

have fun

vote apricity
i honestly thought that after this game i'd have to completely rethink my scumgame on this site because of how clear and obvious the differences between my scum- and town- game are

guess it's fine after all :^

nuxl/dusk/heal/tex town, so game is solved from my pov

please lynch me i don't want to read any of your posts anymore
Frustrating playing a game where I feel like I have a really good handle on what’s going on and nobody on my team wants to listen because they are paranoid and impossible to work with



Viper is leaning scum for me due to him using player meta against himself, although I absolutely hate player meta so I likely have a bias against that. To me it also doesnt feel like he adds stuff, however, some of his posts lead me to believe he lacks the time to make many posts. This doesnt fully lead me to a lynch of him I just would love some more from him.

Caffeine is leaning scum as it seems like he is lacking original ideas. That doesn't make him scum but the fact that he isnt really fully fleshing out why he agrees is giving me a weird feeling.

Duskfall has always been neutral for me he hasn't, really done anything for me to push me to either side. The lynching of Smogon is a bit iffy and gives him a slightly more scum lean, Voting, Unvoting and Hammering without warning was kinda bad however I dont think it makes him fully scummy.

Vote smogon account
I'm not really following this logic at all but I'll assume you are on some higher level of thinking. UNVOTE
Yeah ok let's just end it, don't think SA is contributing much even if he is town anyway.
Vote Smogon Account


Really want to see how this day gets played on before I make a lynch.

As I've said before, when I thought SA was scum it was important for apricity to claim because if he were scum then he can't fake claim a PR without risking outing himself, and if he fake claims vt he makes himself look bad by refusing to claim previously. An SA scum flip gives that context. With SA flipping town there's no longer that context present, nor can a scum fake claim be reliably sniffed out with the possibility of scum role copping a PR.

There's a decent chance we can solve the game of everyone claims considering the number of consensus town reads but I won't be pushing for it

IIoA, kinda filler
Wish I knew what that meant. Reason I don't like an immediate VT claim is that it essentially means you're not a power role for town. All it does is take you off the target list for scum. If you claim VT immediately then you are either town giving info to scum for little in return or you're scum trying to make a sudden VT claim not look suspicious in the future. It's not filler if I am expressing an opinion on somebody else's claim.
at this point you should be able to make reads off of some people, you've seen multiple interactions that could seem particularly scummy
i think the viper bandwagon is a fair point though, but the apathy here is concerning
You really overestimate how good I am at this. Reading the conflicts gave me conflicting reads and possibilities and as a result I couldn't settle on who I thought was scum.
hard disagree, multiple people have concluded thoughts about heal but i guess i'll let this one slide
Multiple people have concluded thoughts about heal on what is essentially fuck all. At that point whether they were right on the "claim feeling genuine" or whatever is down to luck more than the ability to read. Anyone can go into a game and immediately claim VT and it would be a 50/50 shout as to whether they were telling the truth or not.
this whole post just reeks of filler
basically what you decipher from this post is
texas town lean
everyone else null, except you don't even mention smogacc/lazer/heal/me?????? the latter three have posts in this game that can be indicative of alignment at this point of the game

I didn't know how I felt about them at the time so I didn't randomly pick one of the options. Next time I am null on somebody I will be sure to flip a coin and say I read them whatever way it tells me to.
okay, this question is actually so fucking weird for reasons that i bought up before. how is my past experience at all AI? what conclusion are you trying to make here? why are you only asking me who everyone is TRing here?
Knowing how experienced somebody is at the game can be useful information. I noticed a small contradiction, got confused as to what sort of player you were, then tried to resolve the confusion. Also decided I'd get a laugh out of it as well.
jk he's actually trolling; so his only question this game is completely irrelevant to the context and doesn't advance his mindset at all? ok lol
Now the language in this post is something I've seen before. Back in Greek Mafia iirc? It was used by Josh when he saw low hanging fruit. I've already explained my reasons for asking that question. It's very likely you'll undermine that anyway.
your activity is irrelevant to the fact that you basically admitted to trolling lol, why ever do this as town?
i get your previous jokes but they're just that versus something that should legitimately only be asked in context of RvS, if ever at all?
Same use of language. I admitted I made a joke... you read too much into it. The only reason I can really think of as to why is that you wanted to have a reason to pick me off. I am leaning scum on you now as a result.
this is now 11-12 pages into the thread and yet you can't get anything conclusive at all here? lol?

in previous games even though your d1 activity wasn't stellar you still put in the effort to scumhunt and ask real questions and suspect people and point out things you found weird and as well as posting readlists. this isn't done this game which is concerning
My play has been inconsistent in the two previous games I've played in. It should be fairly obvious since you've read those that I am also kinda bad at this. My attitude towards this game in particular has been lacking since I have been focusing on the Wayne Brady game which has been happening at the same time as this amongst other things.
why sheep texas if you think he has the potential to not be genuine
Who was my vote on at the time of that post?
I can't remember... mind checking for me? Was it on IFML? If it was then you have a very good point here.
wait i thought you said heal's VT claim was something you couldn't get a read from? it's being brought up here to paint him in a bad light?
this whole read in general seems very fillerish but probably with lack of explanations
Shit has been added onto the VT claim. If it wasn't for his other activity then I wouldn't have a read on him.
first point of analysis in the entire game barring the fact that hal's usual pressure onto viper in past games is scum!hal on town!viper; just seems to me like a good way to point out something that seems to be "makes you wanna think". this is never approached at all during the rest of d1 btw

also ifml literally brought this up earlier and i have made a counterargument to this but doesn't respond to anything previously mentioned in the past few pages
Finally, you have something decent to say about me.
this post doesn't really mention who he thinks is most scummy; and this whole line of reasoning doesn't seem geniune on a second look, nor changes his vote to jump on a wagon
Didn't Smogon Account make a post after this? I think it was that post which made me change my mind. I thought he was coasting.
Also, if I could travel back in time to make that post again I will be sure to make up a reason as to who I thought was the most scummy. If you don't know, just make it up! That is how town plays! Fuck off.
why is echoing someone a problem? barring lack of analysis. it's cool to get new perspectives because this way we can approach people in a different light and catch things that we missed
It could be seen as not having an original idea and look like scum following a wagon. If it's not a problem though then that's nice. Agreeing with good town players is a thing I like to do... if they're town that is.
uses laziness as an excuse. this isn't a question that gives you a conclusion. do you not want to be townread or anything?
I can't say I really care how I get read in this particular case. No defence for being lazy. I shouldn't be lazy.
again, echoing is a problem? there is no post in question that may look odd, or any scumhunting that you'd like to partake in?

also at this point, caffeine's current vote is on heal
Again, been focused on other things to really get into this game. I signed up mainly because Hal asked me to. I can devote some more time to this though so maybe I'll get to the hunting. Probably won't make it though.
Why are you pointing out who my vote's on? Not entirely sure what point you're making by pointing out I was voting Heal.
filler

doesn't provide any analysis or response to vipers post aside from this nor again in d1
It was pretty shady action. I don't get why he'd do that. I was mainly playing it for laughs though which may be why you're not a fan of it.
this could be a genuine question or an opportunity to jump on a wagon
Or perhaps I was looking to place a change in vote but didn't want to risk hammering? Who knows.
attempt to gain towncred?
"Please note that anything this particular user says which may seem useful is in fact an attempt to gain towncred. Ignore him at all costs. Thank you."
jumps on the easy L-2 wagon, does not bring up smog acc at ALL before his null and/or scum lean
A post from Smog acc made me change my vote iirc. He listed reads with no reasons whatsoever and then voted in a way which seemed shady. I thought it was scummy and as a result I voted for him.
yep this was brought up earlier
Oh I wasn't first. That's it. Okay I understand.
um he didn't say this at all? he doesn't even say dusk is scummy, where did you get to this conclusion? he says Dusk is town multiple points in the game?
There was a point at which he said something like Hal being scum means Dusk is probably scum or some other if A then probably B thing. I'll concede this though.
other people have lacked reasoning to their votes earlier, you call him out on this compared to a few other d1 posters?
interesting conclusion, where did you come to this?
He hadn't posted for virtually the entire game. That is why I called him out and not others.
an attempt at townhunting/understanding reasoning compared to the entirety of caff's d1 when it's likely Smog Acc will be lynched irregardless

in conclusion I feel Caffeine's play this game is entirely reliant on coasting, there are issues i have with his positioning this game compared to his attempts in greek mythology/hope +1

he is a lot more apathetic and is whatever at multiple points of this game and doesn't really attempt to town hunt and/or scum hunt at all

alternatively he is just not reading the game at all

lemme know what you guys think
My play (or lack thereof) hasn't been reliant on anything. I've been focusing on other things. It's fairly obvious right now that I've played (or indeed not played) myself into a corner and I quite fucking frankly should be lynched this cycle. Idk how I'm supposed to convince you I'm town because I have been playing like shit and "I'm town" is hardly enough to convince anybody. Hell even the defeatist attitude I have right now makes me look scummy.
If you'd like to quiz me, I'll answer. Somebody kickstart me please.

Ok honestly nuxl is looking more scummy than caffeine for me just on today alone. Nuxl seems to be trying to point out a problem with every single post caffeine makes which is kinda too far for me. Everything someone says can't be inheritly scummy. (I know nuxl didn't outright say all caffeines post are outright scummy but he quoted them all and pointed flaws in everything).
