NOC The Mafia Invitational (Game Thread) [D2 Deadline: Friday, March 2nd, 6 PM EST]

Status
Not open for further replies.
as long as we don't turbo the doctor we're doing better than serenes forest dot net

wrt Knight's "someone being informed of a role existing would be broken" I've seen roles like this multiple times on SF, it's not inherently broken

now that we've established amrock is scum, do we lynch him? :blobthinking:

wrt Walrein I can also confirm he was playing league/slay the spire like 24/7 when he was my scumbuddy in a recent game

One thing that's nagging me about Josh v MetalSonic is Josh repeatedly saying Metal Sonic is lying, despite having a town leaning read on him (he mentions late in the argument that he's starting to think Sonic might be scum). Normally when someone I'm townreading is tunneling/scumreading me for bad reasons I don't think of them as liars, since that implies I think they have ill intent (aka are scum). When Josh was under fire in Cyberpunk Mafia because people thought he was a Robot I also felt like his word choice/tone was more in line with what I would expect from a villager who is super frustrated with a dumb case on them (I was dead during that debacle but I wasn't informed beyond knowing he was telling the truth about no Asek claim and I knew Walrein had been sheeted so the "only flyhn+MS on sheet both are scum" train was inaccurate, so I didn't for sure know he was town).

otoh I feel like DLE's posts were good, esp the part where he was going into work but still took the time to comment on recent events. I sort of feel like scum DLE would take the opportunity to just bail again?

Man maybe Josh is the best lynch today......
Put your vote on, it’ll help, maybe it will happen since it’s so close to deadline

Use the bold tags
 
Josh: I've already had a very strong opinion on this slot, and he deserves a separate post by himself. Elaborating on my read on him here in such detail would double or triple the length AND time needed to complete this post, so I'll postpone this for later. I'd made enough comments on this slot such that my stance has been quite clear, anyways. In brief: Look at his posts, then look at why he fails to meet the criteria to enter town. Compare him and Empoof. He says he has been engaging with me, but he hasn't; it's a huge lie. It's laughable. Anyway, too many words already. I can't stop if I keep this going on.
I'm going to try this one last time. If you have a reply to me know I won't respond until tomorrow for the sake of focusing.

1) I quoted examples of me responding to you before you called me out for not responding to you. That's what my quotes were. About half of your game related posts before page 13 I replied to. You quoted unrelated things back and called me scum, and then dropped it when I replied to those.
2) I engaged with you, again, on half of your game related posts by page 13. At page 13, you called me scum for not engaging with you.
3) This is what we call "bad or scum?". You set yourself up to scumread me in the future. Either I reply and engage with you and am scum trying to appear townie and appease you, or I don't engage with you and I'm scum furthering your point. It's a lose lose scenario. I have engaged with you on every opportunity possible; fv stuff, reads, gamestate. I am very limited because you are so 100% convinced I am scum or you are scum tunnelling me because you know you can keep that tunnel up due to me not being lynchable giving you an excuse to not have to solve. It could be the former very well, and that's what most people think so that's what we will operate under.
4) Assuming it's the former, actually take your tiny head out of your massive ass and try to reevaluate. You cased me in reply to Paperblade. Not a single person supported your casing and iirc maybe 4 or 5 said it was bad reasoning. Regardless, gained no traction.
5) And before you misrep that argument for the 3rd or 4th time, read. That does not mean I am town. It means you have a faulty argument, though. If those are the reasons I'm scum, then yes, I'm probably town. If you have other reasons, you need to give them, because not a single person has agreed with anything you've said about me ever (for the most part) and considering just how much of your content I am that's not good.
6) You haven't given a serious reply to this: if I'm so good at scum, what did you catch in the first 13 pages? I'll even be generous and say 18. What did I do by page 18 that made you not consider me as town for the remainder of the game? Your argument doesn't make sense, because you say things like "Proph be weary of Josh he's great at scum" and yet say I'm "easy" and don't actually argue why.
 
Paperblade is this a good game for me to sheep you to in y/n
my reads this game suck

too many posts + people I'm unfamiliar with when a lot of my play involves getting in people's heads and trying to determine if someone would do X as scum + a ton of posts that feel like fluff/filler (did we really need 50 posts of a discussion about some dude from other mafia sites?)

maybe it'll get better in later phases

vote josh

yolo

I'll be around for deadline short of some IRL emergency

Mmmmm yea I can’t sheep that
 
okay, so maybe you are town and I was derptunneling. I’ll review when I iso you, when I next get computer access, which will be in day 2

Let’s say you are town.

Who is most likely to be 3rd scum?

Also regarding fv:

Can I confirm if your fv gamebreaking strategy:

A) confirms FV as town, that means, they are town pregame and you know this
B) confirms FV’s alignment, that means, FV could be scum, but you’ll find out with your so called trick like a pseudo cop

Please reply a or b
I need a claim. If FV does not target me tonight, they may not be town. I'm trying to avoid talking about this for a reason.
 
LightWolf feels a lot more engaged and focused than he did in the last game I lost to him in. Even though his posts are mostly logic/mechanical based there's a bite to them I would say wasn't there in that game.
Your funeral.
idk maybe you guys are bad at forming discussion topics but I find it really easy to comment on things.

  • What do you think of DLE constantly viewing the thread but chiming up very little, including promising to bring fire and ending up having a semi-lame reads list?
  • How do you view the interactions between LightWolf and MS? Do you think MetalSonic was appeased to easily?
  • Formal Hope brought up a decent argument about people's feelings about twin - do you agree with them? Do you think there's a counterpush going against twin to keep him alive today, and who do you think that is?
  • Is Walrein a viable second wagon?
  • Where does Josh sit with you wrt things outside the fruit vendor claim? How do you think his solving has been?
    • Do you think that Texas would allow his game to be broken enough to where if a fruit vendor claimed there would be such a high number of confirmed villagers from Josh's perspective?
  • What are some reads that you disagree with with other players? Should I not have MetalSonic/PaperBlade/Asek as high town? Why?
1. See my big post on dle, p much my exact stance how I'd view his current behavior being kept up all day.
2. It the pièce de résistance! Also yes he should have continued fighting me because then it would have been more fun.
3. I disagree with FH for the same reason I disagree with twin, it's not helpful when low activity people who didn't push anything start jumping on others in the same situation, FH's is just a bit more subtly presented, which actually can be worse than twins(in fact I previously glossed over that post)
4. No, I won't lynch solely on non activity day 1. That's for day 2+
5. So while I think Josh gave adequat answers to my questions, I still end up with two problems. One is the big post he made where he reacts MS jumping on him initially, and gets more and more agitated. In the post originally he had made posts that implied he had knowledge of the entire thread before posting it and has in answering my questions admitted he did skim the thread first. This leads me to question the authenticity of his escalation of emotions towards MS. At this point I don't doubt it was faked, but don't think it's 100% of the time scummy, simply because Josh didn't shy off from being manipulative in the game to begin with. On the other hand the fact he can with a straight face say Josh should drop him because people don't buy it therefore it's false. Now I made similar claims(never that MS was wrong, just that the Josh push by MS was pointless if it's not convincing anyone), but I'm an outsider in the argument, not the accused, and I do not think in a million years that this is a reasonable choice for defending one self. The fact in questioning Josh while he was catching up he admitted he already saw I made a similar argument(which adds fuel to the fire that he would have known in his MS is pushing me catch up that MS had been pushing him) taints the idea as piggybacking of an argument that I was trying to drill into MS. This is why I want both Josh and MS to associate with something else thn their vendettas and fruit cases, so I can see them interact with other situations and my pool of reads is not coming from the same thing over and over.
5.5. Worth checking.
6. Because all of them suck! I see town reads in general pointless unless extremely assured by interactions with now deceased players. Not to mention I expressed doubt towards all of them. In general I don't like town reads, because just like with scum reads you can bias yourself into reading people positively even if they mess up.
and wrt the subquestion on Josh I don't know, spitballing possible worlds/outcomes here

A. Josh is telling the truth about his role and is town.
B. Josh is telling the truth about his role and is mafia trying to get towncred
C. Josh is lying about his role and has no plan, at which point some time in lategame when we massclaim this gets revealed and he gets lynched. He can't backpedal because he's made it quite clear today that if he's lying we can lynch him
D. Josh is lying about his role but one of his scumbuddies is actually a fruit vendor but doesn't want to claim it and there was a communication failure where Josh went ahead with this plan without his buddy's consent?
Stop fucking wasting time on discussing a massive wifom, when the only thing obvious from it is that we either drop it or fruit vendor claims and then we murderate Josh after he makes his piece. Wasting time discussing this is what scum want.
Asek: Not seeing anything unusual here. Citing an ongoing where I tried to play close to my Towngame as a track record for catching earns an eye roll. Would be a thorn in scum's side in LyLo imo, so DNL.

Yeti: I know Yeti's scum style, I've seen it as a mod. Fooling around instead of going hard and strong isn't it.

Twin: Who is this and where's the closet where the real Twin's been bound and gagged. Scummy until proven otherwise.

DLE: Haven't played much with him. He shouldn't be sinking to my level, though. I want to see him step it up, along with how he does.

KoC: Haven't taken any notes on the game yet. Probably should, but feeling kinda cba.

Josh: Fruit vendor = Godot. Not a priority for scumhunting rn.

Walrein: Impression of him is absense/ low posting. Gimme stuff to read.

Proph: Can impress players easily with his hard work scumhunting, but that's only when he shows up and does it. Don't think scum!Proph lurks without invisible mode.

Paper: Null until I iso him, maybe null after I iso him. It's been ages since I've seen him in a game.

Light: I'm keeping an eye out for how aggro he goes in later cases. Fool me once... (refer to Matrix ending)

Former: Saltvote read frustrated, not scummy. More posts would be nice.

Empoof: The Dude abides. He's generally solid on insight and one of the players I like to see in LyLo.

Metal: Ego turned up to 11. Teamwork's at a premium with maj in place, so this is a rare occasion- a PL I'd actually approve of.
This is so watered down that I have to go pee after reading this. Yeti is not acting like an obvious scum therefore is town. Josh is off hiking instead of scumhunting, null. Twin has been replaced by his twin because he ain't playing like I expect him to, scum. Nothing here gave me anything new, and some of it is literal repeats I have heard from others. There is no effort in pushing anyone slightly null, not even Josh when the complaint is his entire day 1 is useless for scumhunting. This is extremely passive. If the game doesn't throw me a curveball, I'm voting KoC's ass at the end of my post.
MoodyCloud has subbed in for Thetwinmasters

Deadline is in just under 48 hours
Subbing of a potential lynch, my favourite.
in shocking news I got bored and disengaged from mafia again

unvote
vote walrein
Gee, and you vote a person who peaced out just as you did, I better see something reasonable in the future of the thread.
I didn't realize that I'm not allowed to vote other idlers if I'm idling
You can do whatever you want, and we can call you out for it. It's the cycle of hypocrisy. The problem is when the thing you are voting someone for applies to you too, then you are pushing something allignment unindicative or are trying to distract from yourself(look at HIM, he is just as bad as me). That's either unhelpful and pointless, or scummy, and I want to see neither.
lightwolf uses a lot of words to say "but what do the blobs MEAN" and its like are u shading me for this? do u think i'm mafia using blobs to make my posts hard to understand? u think i need that? lmao. lw dont b bad.

uses a lot of words about MS too. i'm also interested that lw agrees with josh's FV claim plan etc but is stil llike i'll vote josh until he answers my questions and if he doesn't i lynch anyway. it feels like there's a disconnect between lw supporting a josh plan and lw not scumreading josh but still being just fine to lynch him.

also the goonwolf in matrix and a game he subbed into on mu hid behind big catchup wallposts that look exactly like that

:blobglare::blobthinking:

stay woke fam
Blobs ain't allignment indicative, it's just a Yeti thing being a Yeti thing. That does not change that they made your early day 1 pointless to read and their meaning can be explained later however it suits your needs. It's not a scumtell, but if you are scum it's gonna make your life easier, so I want to make your life hard again in case you are scum. Ergo fulfill my request and explain that blob read list where you listed everyone in order and give me you reasonings as to why you thought those placements were waranted at the time of said post. Not every blob user is scum, but every scum would benefit from blob posting.

Also I always do big catchup posts, it's just the nature of being an european and waking up to pages of content that happened while I was asleep. It also allows me to collect my thoughts better since everything is in one place. I actually believe it's better for most people too, as in cases of rereads my thoughts can not be missed or glanced over in a skim, so it's much harder to misconstruct my position if one is not inherently trying to do so. There is no scumwolf, there is no townwolf, there is only I LightWolf.
is this true? josh got votes early didn't he? has everyone else who's given an opinion not been ok with lynching josh except lw/ms? my first thought was lw is trying to like, take credit for an idea other ppl have but that doesnt even rly make sense im kinda tired.
There were some early Josh votes, but the general concensus has been that after the whole ms vs josh thing, most read both a town and people would rather see where the fruit thing is going than lynch Josh first. I mean correct me with a read that lists Josh as a lynchable where the pool isn't 3/4 of the game. Not to mention who bveyond me has attempted to pressure Josh after MS digged his claws into him? People have been fairly content in leaving the two just arguing.
Now that I actually know my alignment I can confirm I am town
That's exactly what a vampire would say!
76966d898c.jpg
Thanks for reminding me of that DLE post, I forgot about it since it was right before my big post. Where the other 30 pages(at this point) at DLE?
wait d1 is stupid long what the fuck
OHHH NOOOOOO, you did... not miss... deadline??? That's uh sad? I hope someone called Walrein out at the time on why he sounds disappointed that he didn't miss day 1.
i think ive done enough on articulating my thoughts up to this point and got bore doing a review of everything that happened overnight approximately halfway through lw vs ms.

so.
Empoof Josh Yeti Metal Sonic Paperblade

former hope / dle / twin (moody)

any objection to lynching in here and if not preference? id list koc there as well but it seems a number of you tr him for reasons i dont generally agree with so ill leave that slot for a later time

id put walrein but i think ive seen enough walrein town games to know if they are town or not by roughly end of d2 / beginning of d3
This was near the end of Saturday, with 48 hours left why in gods name push towards such a small circle of supported lynches? Especially drop out your personal suspect because some town read him, at least Josh tried to make a to Josh before he went ballistic despite the general concensus. Plenty of time to explore KoC more if you don't like him, and way too early to narrow the lynch down to essentiall 3 people with low post counts, with one in another game and another a sub.
Reactions are fun, but maybe reply to your major suspect as to why you want them lynched? You certainly ain't doing much to convince me to drop a Former Vote(the DLE and KoC stuff is working though).
Yeah, part of the reason the twin wagon grew and why I'm personally scum reading him. Was the lack of posts and when he got called out on it, he started asking a lot of superfical and easy questions while also going after people who weren't posting a lot. All the while not answering any questions about his own thoughts which came off as sketch
Going after other low posters for low posting? I'm sure you don't know the feeling? Asek let me borrow that stockings gif
ac664faa59.png

without making any judgements on anyone's overall play i think twin is very good at appearing towny as town

and i don't see that when he's scum
Not to go into semantics, but that literally would mean he is a bad scum, and therefore his redeemining quality is it's painfully obvious which allignment he is? I'm not saying this is the case btw, I'm saying that is essentially what Walrein is saying here. Also quoted this to ask, why the hell are you supporting this discussion when you should be catching up?
Can we kill josh? Plzzzzzz

We are 2 out of 7

And 7 out of 10 towns needed

The fact that there is sooooo much resistance to the wagon means that I’m right on the money and he’s scum
What have I told you about linking your Josh read at the end of all your posts? To not make your every post into just a Josh push... Josh may or may not get lynched today, WHO DO YOU LYNCH THEN.
Roomie's not feeling well, so we're probably gonna skip church tomorrow.
What MS said, what is the point of this post, announcing that you will not be busy Sunday after never announcing you'd be busy on sunday? This feels like look at me I'm posting!
paperblade i see u viewin

what are ur thots now that the $#!%posting is gone as compared to ln
What is the point of doing this. Any scum could just hide their status. This is nothing but a I'm active post like the above. What is the point of asking Pblade to post meaningful shit instead of posting meaningful shit?
My bait on walrein turned into a real "fuck this dude could be skating by" thing but DLE is like a known idle farter
Quoted because the post I wanted to quote is just quotes, you can see it above this post. I agree with Yeti there completely, and therefore think it's a bad example of what you are trying you are trying to prove. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, and I responded at that DLE post in this post so look at that for more.
ok but I disagree this part. Only if walrein is scum then yeti scum. No scum motivation detected if walrein is town
Can Yeti be town if Walrein is scum? As in from your point of view at the time of that post. Also this Empoof MS mindmeld rubs me the wrong way, especially after the Empoof vs MS early on. The only problem is both together don't work for scumxscum, so I have to question if one of you ain't trying to butter the other here.
I like Proph's 1175 and 1176

I'm starting to get uncomfortable with the group of people who are posting a lot but feel like they're not really talking about anything--mostly Yeti and Knights.

Yeti complaining about lurkers when I don't even remember her reads on most active players is kind of ??? I don't really know what she thinks about me/empoof/ms/josh/asek other than that I guess she doesn't want to lynch us? I sort of feel like the walrein push is weak

I can't really parse what Knights is trying to say half the time which bugs me

I would include Walrein but he has the SCUM ANXIETIES and I feel like his tone is much better here compared to the game I played with him like a few weeks ago where he was mafia.

I'm willing to give Moody some time. While twin wasn't playing to his town meta, it is possible he's just burnt out with NOC or something so with the change of player slot

unvote

man maybe sonic was right and we should just lynch josh :blobthinking::blobshrug::blobsad::blobpensive:


why would anyone do this to themselves?
If you are gonna post post numbers, link them while at it, gah. As for Yeti and Knights, I agree and have called both out on such posts in this very post. Elaborate on what the Josh lynch has to do with this?
im pretty sure my posts are legible at leastt i cant type for shit
no They were not, go back quote them and tell us what they said. I didn't even get when you said Food Night, even though that was actually spelled correctly.
paperblade/empoof/ms/(-josh +proph)/asek is a solid enough town core atm
feel like LW belongs too
Nothing good comes from towncores expect for scum members of it. Doesn't matter how clear people look if they can't make an argument why to lynch someone, or point at the wrong person, and all goes to hell if one of them is scum. I will rip all of you a new butthole if I feel like it.
Gonna run the walrus reveal early. There better be posts when I'm done, and before I start.
Wooo third place!!!
I agree with this post or statement
The fact he made Former the Latter is unforgivable.
I think this is twin's style to state a sr as "x is obv scum because of [exaggerated description of x's play]" but yeah he took a bit of a shortcut in his justification of his Knights sr in 690 I can see how he drew people's aggro
Why do you feel the need to defend twin's actions? Serious question about your mindset as a sub,
Like LW's reads post, feels more substantial than literally anything he did in the Champs game.

also liking metal sonic's progression/willingness to engage with LW on this front
I literally took the format of Would/n't Lynch from the champs game though... I literally did the same thing on so many levels lol.
OK so I'm feeling fairly caught up

Don't think I have much time to do a super duper comprehensive reads breakdown but I can give my one sentence thoughts on each?

TOWN

Prophylaxis

LEANING TOWN

Paperblade - he's been popping in with thoughts but most of these thoughts I've agreed with, and people have meta softcleared him. If we miss then I'll take another look/reread but have liked his presence thus far

Knights - reminds me more of his town game, has some townie phrasing used in his words. Honestly, this might be a townread I need to re-evaluate because OUTSIDE of that I haven't remembered much of what he has done, but I feel fairly confident reading Knights so this is a read that you will see me update

Josh - lots of townie frustration/genuine emotional reactions for me. if he's good at faking this, then well done, but i haven't met too many scum good at faking stuff like this. I think I did a good rundown of his mindset as scum last night

LightWolf - like his engagement/willingness to work with metal sonic and his reads list, doesn't feel as manufactured/fake like it did in the last game I played with him

Empoof - solving, has good thoughts

Metal Sonic - his persona seems really difficult to fake if he's scum and multiple people have backed this up. plus, again, like his engagement with lightwolf and his tunneling on josh (I mean, I think Josh is town, but hardtunneling someone like that seems kind of untenable if you are actually scum)

Asek - liked his posts while he's been around but 875 is a thing and I need to look at it again

-----

NEUTRAL

Yeti - now, I haven't gone much into Yeti when I was reading, and I think she pointed this out. my reasoning here is because, she hasn't really done much that was noteworthy? someone characterized her play as like "offering up comments/thoughts on things from a neutral standpoint" and I think I agree with them. she went blobposting for the first half of day 1 and the second half.. she's been around, but I can't really recall what strong pushes she has made etc. Will need to ask her some questions to figure her out

Moody <- TTM - hasn't really posted much, people said that TTM was in his scum meta but I don't have that type of experience to make that judgement call

Walrein - similar boat to Yeti IMO where he's been offering thoughts but not been super duper townie. hasn't made much impact on the game IMO

FH - hasn't been around though I'm in the same game as him so yeah

-----

LEANING SCUM

Da Letter El - made a bunch of dropin posts that felt.. pretty alien to thread behavior at large in the early game, then said that he'd kick it into high gear and then made a pretty bad reads list. then he votes walrein which seems like a pretty weak vote. then he says he doesn't have enthusiasm for mafia which... sure I guess, but that doesn't really excuse your play thus far.

so yeah, I feel pretty caught up in this game, feels good for day 1

will try to be on more at eod but will focus on [ongoing game] now
Disagree on a lot, but I'm happy an idler is actually doing shit instead of commiting canibalism. Prophs for that.(Yes I quoted this for the pun)
Good point about Metal, especially. Something I would have come up with if I'd been thinking more.
I swear if I don't see anything more substantial out of you, you are TOAST.
has lightwolf done anything since his big catch up post and arguing with that 1 dude after it

+1 towncred to whoever answers b4 i read back to get live
No. A man can hope you have been afk till now and no one else answered!
A day away and we still haven't got our shit together wrt where maj goes.
Having consumed a lot of the thread in such a short burst, you haven't done anything to lead anyone to any maj.
how 2 read this knights overreact to proph's vote

not w/w?
I feel knights has been latching onto any chance to post where it doesn't require much of a personal stance people would object to. No Lynch is bad Mmmkay? Not that this post by Yeti is much different.
This wagon smells, not because I don't wanna lynch DLE today(that's really only because of my experience with him), as I abhore his performance today and would gladly lynch him over it tomorrow, but in the end this is nothing but let's lynch inactives. The poor man's lynch.
Yeah, vote the guy who's thinking about what's best for Town.
It's not hard making blanket statements, it's hard actually doing what those blanket statements ask for. No point screaming wagonomics when you haven't advocated for a lynch seriously since what, your read post?
if fv would just claim I could fill claim u could sort it properly
Just quoting a random post to express disappointment that we are back to spending a page discussing JOSH IS SCUM FRUIT CASE CLAIM.
ok i see lightwolf just posted so lets talk about him

woofy where u at in reads now
+++ for trying to end the shit show, --- for not reading my post saying I'm going to sleep lol.
btw UncleSam really misses the jetlightwolf thresh play in league

pls make a return
Maybe if you play HotS with me.
i wasn't liking howh e told me to answer the questions a couple times and then when i did didn't address them at all. shrug. not a lynch today
Went AFK after going to sleep after getting home, did no one read my I sleep when you guys post post yesterday?

Town
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=72052 - Relevant for this game. I argue against the d1 mislynch, I take control of the game and break it mechanically. Attract the scum kill multiple times. No other mislynches.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=72576 - https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=9467660#p9467660 represents how the game went. An example of me being the town leader type and bringing cohesion around my 2 scumreads (who happened to be the scum team one subbed because he got mad lol)
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=74684 - Technically I can't reply to any questions if there happened to be any because TM is still going on, but the game itself is completed so I can cite it. Dominating Eddie performance.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=74682 - Ditto, and technically my teammate JJ played this game but we played it together pretty much like a hydra. Only linking because it demonstrates us breaking things mechanically which is relevant.
And, some losses:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=73043 - I tunnelled one scum, mastina tunnelled the other. No incorrect reads whatsoever. Unfortunately, a garbage town and a bad setup cost us the game.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=73076 - subbed in, scum got obliterated. My play here is not amazing personality wise. lucky ass SK win but I count it as a town win tbqh.




Scum
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=70624 - Frog and I were the two most town read players by FAR and I had him bus me. Clear victory.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=73125 - I had a useless lurker teammate and easily won the game. Two cautious players were ready to cross vote hours into LyLo, that's how well I distanced.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=72998 - I controlled every single lynch when I came back from V/LA D2. Clear victory.


These are games of me doing well. There are games I do poorly in too obviously though recently I've been on the ball. I am complimented all the time on my scum game, much more so than my town game. However, I enjoy playing town much more. I don't think I'm a GoD of mafia, but I consider myself a great player. No, I don't think I can be sorted on meta. The thing is, I hope you understand what I mean by this, but I don't know of any tells I have and I don't think I have any flaws as a scum player. Obviously that isn't true and they exist but if I'm made aware of them I work hard to fix them. If you are aware of any weaknesses you have as a player and don't correct them, you aren't going to improve. People try to read me, but realistically I don't think I have any meta tells.

That said, that doesn't mean I can't be sorted. Most good players don't have any semi obvious meta tells and there's quite a few that have none or almost none. How I'd suggest to do it is look at my agenda / motivations / etc. The goodies. My scum game is made to look as pro town as possible. If my buddies are acting scummy, I'll push them. If they're acting townie, I'm not going to go out of my way to distance. I'm obviously biased, but I try my best to be honest. I AtE as scum and town. I self meta as scum and town. I do everything as scum and town because if you don't you screw over one of your games. In about 20 town games I was mislynched twice - once was Merlin on here when I was going for the W and once was in Penguin mafia on MS where in the process of lynching me it took 3 scum plus the worst townie you will ever see (vote - unvote fine you can post - wtf that was hammer?) and I caught the scum team and it ended in a 3 in a row scum lynch lylo win for town sheeping me. I've been lynched twice as scum, guiltied both times. The drawbacks in my play are that I'm too cocky and rub people the wrong way, and my reads are only a little above rand as opposed to amazing. I'm good at knowing when my reads are off though and that's where I shine - knowing when who and how to sheep while still advancing the game.

OF course, this is all just imo and others have vastly different opinions of me. I know some players who think I'm dog shit. Lots think I'm mediocre. You asked how to sort me, and this is what I think. Honestly, if you're a cop you should cop me. I think I'm pretty blatantly town here, but paranoia etc shrug. You can honestly BoP me - if I'm strongarming lynches and/or advocating wrong things and we are hitting town over and over I'm probably scum. If we are doing good, I'm probably town.
Blargh. I'm not giving this a moment of attention, anyone selfaware enough about their playstyle to make such a list will be working towards fixing their scum game to match their town game and avoiding any previous mistakes. This to me is a waste of space, and most certainly won't convince MS either. Prove yourself by maybe pushing something that isn't a Fruit Cart.
i remember LW having some grievances with him, and he's too low act for me to lock him off as town. this is def. not out of his scum range, so as much as i townread his little content his flip is better than nothing
Speaking of this, I Asek never seemed to acknowledge my points. Speaking speaking of that, Metal Sonic you said you'd look at Asek, what up on that front.
so metal sonic says:

josh didn't engage with me until i said he did a scumtell for him, the posts that josh quoted are from after i said he was scum, he ignored me before

josh says:

i did engage with ms's points, even if i only responded to them after he called me scum the first time

is this accurate on both parties' claims?
At least you posting, but shit why aren't you telling them to stop. This is idiotic at this point, and all being gained from this is free scum idles.
Tfw you have been posting your thoughts and read throughout the game but because you don't spam the thread or go on a 5 page argument with MS or Josh people think you aren't
As a rereader. Yeah Former can't be considered a Walrein, Twin or DLE level idler anymore. In the past maybe, but besides early activity, he is on par with people who ain't spamming.
how does one write so much. yet say so little?
-sun tzu
Disagree, while the segments are short, and some of the reads lacking, they reflect a much more honest attitude and and way of reading people than what DLE and KoC have put forth.
seriously have no idea where your head is at after writing that other than null on over half the slot and sr on 2 idlers... like not even who your prefferred lynch is
You literally proposed a lynch between 3 idlers at the time when you made that proposal. See this is the keep on throwing on shit regardless of the quality of the argument I was talking about, not to mention there iss a scum lean on Yeti in those reads completely ignored by you.
Are you kidding me. FH’s readlist was way better than LightWolf ‘s “id lynch almost everyone” or paperblade’s “I don’t wanna lynch anyone”

What are u smoking asek
YOU HAVE MADE ME SO PROUD. THUMBS UP. Now if we can correct those 3-4 wasted pages of Joshing around...
bro that’s not my point. I’m townreading both lw and pblade but even then they’re coming up with readlists of such quality. I don’t like how you’re pooping on FH especially passive aggressively; and the fact that FH is objectively a more mislynch bait than lw and paper in this game makes me smell you funny
Nevermind Metal Sonic found the Asek followup!
fh has no content then comes in with a contentless readlist

pblade and lw have content aside from their reads list style posts
No I don't, the literal only content beside me arguing with MS about how he is going about his Josh post and how unhelpful it is to me reading either of them, the only content I have outside of my big post was the small thing inbetween the MS argument about my suspicions on you Asek, which again you failed to acknowledge. You can't call my MS arguments content outside of that, because it was, it's safe to be open about it, mostly a reaction test nitpicking contest. That being said I'm still cross about him reverting back to playing Heavy Rain and pressing x to JOOOOOOOOSH. And FH's read list is a completely different style of mine, the comparision made here is just another example of throwing more and more shade at your target regardless of the validity of said shade.
This the big MS read post, I'm sparing you guys the big quote because it's that recent. I'm mostly just here to say while I disagree wit hhis additional choices, am happy he diversified, and look forward to scum reading his ass in the future. Also look at those linked posts, need more of that.
don't remember if i said this, if i did postgame is cool.


this is the classic FH i was excited for


so... lightwolf, maybe.


MS: you gave nearly the exact same lynchpool as me. Moody / DLE / Walrein / Yeti / FH. just want to muse.


Read it closer. Greylisted roles are allowed, FV is greylisted. Though really, its getting common enough its going to be whitelisted soon. Don't understand what 2) means.
Oy, I don't townread no one, to me people are scum and less likely to be scum.
gimme a sec to reference back to a point i made earlier.
Deadline is coming up, let's stear discussion back to the validity of the FV claim. Legit.

up to date now will vote in new post.
 
I'm gonna forgo the blue joke for the serious opinion underneath.

If I end up vopting into the A V. B I'd be voting MS because the alternative might lead to three pages of Metal crowing about he's more GOAT than Haruno, Yeti, Light, and Mendelde (Kong player, dw) combined.
 
Vote KnightsOfCydonia

Reasons should be obv from above, but yall lazy(do not dare to ask me about anything I talked about above, unless you want more on what I did up there and show clear understanding you read the above). He is filler, he was born in the filler, his full name is KnightsOfillerCydonia. His posting did not evolve beyond the RVS stage, and it feels clear he is just posting at times for the sake of getting posts in(hey guys it's Sunday, I'm not going to church, AMA).
 
LightWolf if iDLE is more often town than scum, and WalrAFK is more often scum than town, and the page I randomly plop on has empoof and Yeti — the two people who have the best sense of recent Walrein NOC meta — suspecting/voting walrein, and walrein is bad at scum and bad at handling vote pressure, there’s a distinct difference between a dle vote and a walrein vote (especially from my perspective!)

Just saw this post

In the interests of deadline.. and lw unvoting josh, and although I love paperblade for voting with us I don’t think this can hit 7 people...

Out you go
