Hi everyone!
Looking forward to having fun.
VOTE: ratrat
Also to answer happy's questions:
1. GMT -4
2. I played mafia here around 8 years ago. I think I have 4 completed games. I haven't played since then, any kind of mafia, so looking forward to relearning the game.-

UNVOTE: ratrat
VOTE: Alianna
I think Alianna's play has been reactionary to others and not actively hunting scum. She voted for happy and when Jason said she was bussing, she changed her vote to herself. When Clark found it scummy for her to be voting for herself, she goes back to voting for happy. Comparing the 3 SE's, I think Jason and Clark have been moving the game forward and out of RVS, while Alianna has just been reacting to what people are posting about her.
P.S. How do you quote specific posts? I see the quote tag and there is a post tag-

One more quick question, how do I do this with the posts? What Alianna did with the 15 and I've seen others do it as well?
In post 27, Alianna wrote: Ah. I thought you were referencing the mechanics since we'd both mentioned that and I was prepared to post an essay.
I agree 15 is a little odd.-

Alianna was actively reacting to you and Clark. Reacting is passive, not actively looking for possible scum. That is scummy.In post 54, JasonWazza wrote: Calling her play reactionary seems disingenuous given that it was (i mean she was actively reacting to me), but not in a scummy way, i don't see any way it can be read other then a bit of banter.
Going to a joke vote in RVS, not scummy.
Replacing your joke vote with your more real "Random" vote, not scummy.
And comparing us as SE's makes no sense, at least not this early on when all we have been in is RVS.
Going to a joke vote in RVS, not scummy.
Replacing your joke vote with another joke vote of voting yourself, scummy.
After getting called out on it, and going back to your original joke vote, scummy.
I believe we are out of RVS. We have enough information to start getting our initial reads on people. Also, I compared the SE's because they are the ones with the most experience in the game. Like for instance I expect the SE's to be better at moving this game out of the RVS than some of the newer people.-

ratrat is a lurker. One whole post in the game. No way around it. Whether that is scum or town, don't know. I have no content, so I just have a null read on him.In post 63, MintChippo wrote:In post 44, KaninIGuess wrote: Holy fuck this is confusing.

Kanin has posted some with no substance, an active lurker. I am suspicious of him, but I have nothing to go by except the fact that he is actively lurking.-

@Merlyn what's your opinion and read on happy and Alianna?
@Clark
After that, what is your read on Alianna? Are you still reading her as scum or null or town? If you are reading here as null or town, why is your vote still on her?In post 88, ClarkBar wrote: I appreciate RVS and its function. It just so happens that after my first read through I had a real vote to place. And Alianna responded gracefully and that's been helpful in my efforts to sort you all out. I know it might have seemed early, but me placing a random vote when I had qualms with a player would have been disingenuous.-

Just quoting for emphasis. We are one vote away from ending day 1. I prefer this day to go along further as I have not gotten any reads on the 2 lurkers Kanin and ratrat.
@Kanin and ratrat There is enough information so far that you can get some reads or form some opinions on people here. Please share your thoughts.-

Also, in regards to me not switching my votes. My next scum read is happy, but I was not willing to push him to e-1. So I kept my vote on Alianna. Especially since we have two new players that are lurking with very little content to get any reads on. It is entirely possible that they can just show up read the posts and hammer happy. Then it would be hard to tell if they were scum ending the day early or just a new player that didn't know any better.
Which makes me wonder why Clarke did that.-

Hey, just needed to step away for a bit as this game can get intense. I'll respond to Jason's post about me later.
I wonder why Alianna is talking about me in the 3rd person to everyone else and then expects me to reply to them?In post 193, Alianna wrote: Instead of re-evaluating/giving more thoughts on me after my response to them, they just asked other people for theirs.
That feels sus but I need to finish catching up.
@Alianna Do you have any questions for me?
What I don't understand is why only 2 people have asked me questions directly. Jason and Merlyn. I will respond to anything asked of me directly, but I will choose to respond to whatever I want if nothing is asked of me. I'm sorry if that sounds direct, but I'm a direct person. No offense to anyone.-

@Alianna Looking over the post again, the only questions I see sound rhetorical to me and not really looking for an answer. As for why I was asking questions about you and happy was I wanted to look for anything that could be a possible partner for you and him. Because I didn't think you and him could be partners. If I was scum looking for votes, happy was dropping a lot of scummy posts and that would have been an easy wagon to join. Just look at how quickly it happened.
Right now, I have you as null. Mostly because I haven't seen you doing much scum hunting and I feel you have been a little quiet lately.-

I agree, I saw your ISO and I think you have the most posts. I just felt that there was a period where you went quiet or posted less. Either way that's not a reason for any alignment and also being passive is not a reason for any alignment because I do think a lot of the people in this game are being passive except for one who has a much more aggressive playstyle.In post 226, Alianna wrote: The part about my questions sounding rhetorical is fair.
I find it a little strange you think I’ve been quiet, given that I’ve been the top poster all game.
The partner thing is interesting but I’ll get to it later. I need to actually review the posts.
Reason why I think you are being passive is your reading on me. You said this sounds scummy or something feels off or I have a gut feeling and then you don't try to engage with me to clarify your scum read on me. This whole conversation is because I decided to engage you, not because you initiated it. Thus I see you as being passive.-

On that same note of passive, I think these two posts are passive. They are waiting for other people to post, to be able to react instead of trying to generate discussion or try to move things forward.
In post 201, JasonWazza wrote: I'ma be honest, kinda hard to generate anything useful in this game right now.
Mint responded, still seems wordy (getting more accepting of this being a personality read), but i don't really think there is much to say about it.
Clark is stalling for the weekend, unfortunate, but RL does happen.
Eektor has also gone silent for a decent bit.
And Happy is still avoiding all the questions that have been posed to them for the past however long, so there is no point even interacting with this slot.
So this is mostly a prodge, waiting for something I feel like i can actually add to.
For Jason, I'm surprised at because his playstyle is aggressive. Merlyn, not so much.In post 217, Merlyn wrote: Okay, waiting for eektor, kanins, and Clarks promised upcoming posts. Unfortunately not much to say until then, or until ratrat gets replaced.
For starters, I think there is a lot we can talk about. There are two competing wagons, happy and me.
1. Do you think happy and I are both scum?
2. If not, do you think one of us are scum? Who's more scummy to you? Who could be a possible partner?
3. If not, or what if both of us were town? Who is scum then?
I think these are good questions to discuss and get more information. So I'm asking all of you what do you think?-

Nope, they are not the same at all. I think the post you are referring to is 189. Let me answer the questions for you from that post and you can tell me if I'm right or wrong.In post 235, Merlyn wrote: Your three questions amount to the same question: do I think you or happy is scum? And I've answered that less than 36 hours ago, in 181.
1. No, I don't think happy and eektor are partners
2. I think eektor is scum. I don't know or don't want to share who I think his partner is.
3. If happy and eektor is town, I think Clarke is scum.
Is that correct?-

So to clarify then, you thought my unvote was not justified because Alianna's unvote was not pro-town because happy was not in any danger to be eliminated early?-

Starts argument with a joke.In post 176, JasonWazza wrote: I'd argue it's hardly inconsistent, just because i didn't list your every achievement in life doesn't make what i said inconsistent.
Jason thinks I'm scummy because I don't play like him. I don't move my votes around that much. That catch I did, I asked him a question. So obviously I won't vote right away before he answered it. My playstyle is not as aggressive as you.That catch doesn't really count for much when realistically that catch should have come with a vote change, there was no excuse at that time because there was only me and Alianna on that wagon.
I believe you are missing my questions before to other people. Check my iso if you want.Your main active scumhunting is one question for Merlyn about Alianna, a catch isn't active scumhunting, it's just pointing something out that's inconsistent.
After he answered my questions, there was a wagon on him at e-1. So, yeah, I wasn't going to vote for him.And even if you use my exact wording "continuing to not do a whole lot other then ask one person their thoughts on Alianna." I'd argue this isn't inconsistent, you just didn't understand the word continuing in this case refers to the fact that you did nothing with that catch, and mostly just posted it and wanted to let it lie.
Is this what scumJason does? I point out inconsistencies, question, and decide how that updates my reads on a person. I'm trying to solve the puzzle, I'm not trying to persuade people. Btw, most people are scum reading me or null-scum reading me, so there's no chance of me persuading anyone. The best I can do is solve the game and if I do, I consider it a win for me.This is in fact a fairly scummy thing to do, pointing out every single inconsistency from players without acting on those, is something that scum benefits from, more so then town (town needs to let it change their reads, not have everyone else observe it), which makes me question what exactly you think you gain from this "inconsistency" of yours.-

I was trying to be nice, but I agree with you here.In post 253, JasonWazza wrote: Nah Town/Scum Jason is just an asshole in general.
I believe that since most people are scum reading me, my thoughts can't persuade people until I get eliminated. Then everyone can look back and see my posts from a confirmed town perspective, instead of through the lens of "I scumread you".But really, i hate this perception that everyone is scum reading you, therefore your reads aren't useful because it can't persuade people?
You realize assuming we flip you, we can go back and see your reads from the perspective of Confirmed Town right?
This is what gets me. You seem too confident. The only people I know that can have 100% confidence in someone's alignment is scum. So when you act so confident in day 1, it feels scummy to me.Like this is just a bad excuse to not actually do anything useful, i may think your scum, but if you put out a well reasoned case, i can still consider that and make my own opinion on it, because i don't treat my read as 100% until a flip (even though people may assume that i do because of my playstyle, where i believe it's better to confront someone with confidence even while you don't actually have said confidence.)-

I think what I'm most bothered about you right now, eektor, is that all you're doing now is arguing back and forth with Jason, who you have as null leaning town in your read. Why are you so tunneled on him when you don't even think he's scum, or leaning scum?
Not tunneling, just responding to his posts. If you ask me more questions, I would respond back. Doesn't mean I'm tunneling you, just responding to whoever is engaging me at the moment. Also, it probably helps that he seems to be on when I'm on.
@Mint I see your questions and I will respond. I'm too tired right now as I had a long day, but I will get back to you tomorrow.-

Alianna, Clarke, and ratrat are basically same level as null. So the jump up is not as big as you think. Happy, has been a scum read for me. Kanin, moved down solely because I think he was doing enough to avoid the prod, which then would mean he is lurking. I don't think that's the case anymore as I see that he has been prodded and might be getting close to looking for a replacement? So Kanin goes back to null for me.In post 263, MintChippo wrote:
Most of this isn't too surprising, but since these appear to be ordered from least scummy down to most, I'm curious why Alianna shot up so many ranks for you. You spent a significant amount of time accusing Alianna and trying to find out what people thought of them, but then when Alianna unvoted Happy to get out of E-1 you immediately unvoted them because you liked that. Since then, you haven't said very much about them. I could understand Alianna going up a little bit in your estimations because they did a move you felt was positive, but a single unvote took them from being your top scum read to being a null read above Happy and even Kanin?

I am willing to vote happy this day, but with Mislim replacing for ratrat, I want to see what comes out. I think it's good to have a new perspective come into the game, and we can see new interactions between people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have 3 days to go, so we have to decide by Wednesday?In post 266, MintChippo wrote:

These are my thoughts on happy and why I think he is more scum than town.
1. He put a few posts explaining certain game concepts. This looks town, but the thing is, no one asked for an explanation, so while it looks good, it was not necessary and in reality the posts were filler. Also, when looking just at his ISO, it makes it look better. Examples 20, 77
2. The pr talk. If he can post explanations of certain game concepts, he is not new, and should know better. I think his 243 was him to try to disguise his mistake.
3. He hasn't once changed his vote. He voted for me in RVS and instead of saying, "I scumread eektor, or I'm just keeping my vote on him to preserve my life". He posts 185. And this post 262, looks like he's coaching me, which I take it to mean he doesn't think of me as scum.
4. 288 I take this post to mean, he is going to sit back and wait for day 2. Is that town motivated? If he was town, wouldn't he want to get his reads and opinions across if he doesn't survive day 1 or the first night?-

I think a d1 happy lim is pretty bad, idk how to put it into words so this'll be pretty contradictory but while both don't give off town vibes happy gives off chaotic!Town vibes while eektor gives off LAMIST!Scum vibes
You say I give off LAMIST!Scum vibes but then you say that's how you play as scum? Are you actually calling yourself lame? This vote makes no sense.In post 340, usesPython wrote: Like with happy it's the kind of posting where their partner tells them in the PT to stop talking about PR's if they're scum
With eektor the posts that really pinged me hard were 110/112/150/232/315/316 because those are exactly the kind of posts I make as scum when I'm trying to look like I'm solving-

My thoughts on userpython are null. I can't move them to town because they started the discussion on the setup of the game, and I don't see why that discussion is needed on day one and there have been no claims.
Mislim - I'm reading as town.-

I have addressed those points.In post 396, Merlyn wrote: I'm not loving Alianna's non responses- she blew off both my questions, but I see she's on VLA so it's pointless to vote her.
I think these are two good points:
I also don't like that eektor ignored nearly all of Mislim's arguments against them (the only thing I can see they did is 370) and instead proceeded to lay out a case for happy. And I don't like the case.In post 326, Mislim Bait wrote:
Your free to respond however you want but which posts you ignore or respond could be scummy or towny
Ignoring cases is like an underhanded way of dismissing any conversation that points to you being scum which is scummy
You've also asked for a lot of questions but I don't really see you giving opinions in return other than your early case on alianna
You even you're fine with voting happy but you've said nothing that make me think you even scumread them
You're saying that happy would have to be a cunning enough scumplayer for your point 1, but then a dumb enough scumplayer for 2 and 3? I think he's a safe vote for scum right now, and that's why you picked him.In post 371, eektor wrote: 1. He put a few posts explaining certain game concepts.

VOTE: eektor
this is E-1
I think its a pretty far reach to consider point 1 a cunning player.
And to your last point, I do believe my wagon is a pretty easy wagon for scum to join.-

@Alianna, the game is paused and yet instead of waiting for a Clarke replacement, you want to end the day early? Wouldn't it be better for you to wait it out so you can come back from V/LA so you can dedicate more time to the game?In post 403, Alianna wrote: On a skim, my read there remains unchanged.

I'm still thinking happy is the best bet for the scum on my wagon. if you guys eliminate me, all they can say is,"Oh well that was my rvs vote, that I didn't bother to change."In post 411, Merlyn wrote:

I said 'cunning enough', and I meant that they would have to have some kind of strategy for point 1, and I just don't see happy playing with any kind of strategy.
Okay- who do you think is the scum on your wagon right now?-

I never said that?

I apologize, I don't know the acronyms and I didn't realize that was an acronym to look it up.
Also, no you didn't. I thought I read someone say that there were better day 1 lims to get more information from than happy. I thought that was you. That's my fault for posting last night with a fever of 102.
On that note, I just want to say I got tested positive for COVID today. They prescribed me medicine that is helping me a lot. I feel better than the last two days.-

This is an interesting post. Give me some time and I put up some thoughts. One thing I believe is I am the counterwagon to happy. Not the other way around. Just because there was a wagon on him first and took it to E-1 and then came my wagon.In post 418, usesPython wrote: Like from perspective:

Happy wagon
Jason – starts the wagon with a semi-serious vote
Alianna – jumps on with a another semi-serious vote
Jason – jumps off and votes me.
Jason – unvotes me and jumps back on this wagon.
Merlyn – looks like they scum read happy but don’t vote
Mint – jumps on wagon to put at E-2
Clarke – jumps on wagon to put at E-1
Alianna – jumps off happy wagon going back to E-2
Jason – unvotes happy and votes for Alianna.
eektor – I vote for happy putting him at E-2
Dr. Drew/ Clarke – unvotes
eektor – counter wagon
Jason jumps to start my wagon, adding to happy’s rvs vote
Alianna – shows read list with me as scum
Merlyn – votes for me
Alianna – votes for me putting me at E-2
Merlyn – unvotes me
Alianna – unvotes me and votes for Kanin
usesPython/Kanin – votes for me
Jason – jumps back to me putting me at E-2
Merlyn – goes back to me E-1
Alianna – announces she is capable of hammering me.
Some things that comes to my attention is the Mislim has not been involved in either wagons. Jason started both wagons. usesPython started the wagon again for me after it died down. Merlyn votes and even unvotes usually followed soon after other people.-

This is quite a stretch saying Alianna is a potential partner of mine and also that she is not willing to eliminate me. One if I was scum and she was my partner, would my very first case be about her? Also, while everyone was focused on happy, why would I keep asking questions about her if she was a potential partner. She also has been scum reading me pretty much the whole game. Got off a happy wagon to join you, Jason, on starting my wagon. So I think her intention was pretty clear that she had no qualms with hammering me.In post 434, JasonWazza wrote:
Also i get the feeling that Alianna/Eektor would potentially be a scum team (Alianna using 323 to try and posture that i'm making Eektor look better while the wagon is smaller, when frankly nothing had actually changed by Eektor, so prepping a partner for when their partner goes down.)
So while i'm not directly targeting Alianna, i'm targeting a potential partner in my mind.
Frankly i'm 100% happy with an Eektor lim.
Also frankly don't like Alianna's reasoning to not react to a point about optics (if i react it's bad, that's a cop out)
That said i would at least like our Clark replacement to at least be able to post a little before we get a lim.
And frankly i don't really believe the above, just to be clear, they are posturing like they are ok, i don't buy it.In post 418, usesPython wrote: Alianna (SE) - Wants an eektor lim-

I got the impression that when you started questioning happy, you were suspicious. And with 137,138 I know you never said anything directly, I just thought you were scumreading them. Was I wrong and you weren't scumreading happy then?In post 469, Merlyn wrote:
95 is about Clark, but yeah that's my point about the rest. I'm not seeing anywhere where it looks like I'm reading happy scum and not voting.In post 465, usesPython wrote:

I think also, what gave me that impression was after your posts of questioning happy and right after that specific post, Mint voted happy right after.-

I understand the part of the first case, I don't understand the me keeping up the questions on her. I also, don't understand her pressuring me and continuing to put the focus on me. This whole day the focus has been on happy and me, wouldn't a partner try to move toward another counterwagon, or focus solely on one after the inital bus, instead of going back and forth between the two.In post 494, Merlyn wrote:In post 458, eektor wrote: This is quite a stretch saying Alianna is a potential partner of mine and also that she is not willing to eliminate me.

Well, scum have been known to use that very tactic- making their first case about their partner, bussing each other- in order to distance from each other. Because then scum can claim exactly what you just did.In post 492, eektor wrote: I still don't get it, can you explain it to me better? Or someone else? I still don't see how you think Alianna could be a good partner for either me or even happy.
Well, I thought usesPython because he focused on me and started to revive the wagon on me. I think that helped happy alot and would be good play if they were happy's partner. He also mentioned since happy was a chaotic style, he would rather eliminate him in POE instead of getting a specific read. Which in my mind is they are thinking happy is not a good person to eliminate until further on in the game. The only problem with that theory now is usesPython is unvoting me and defending me. So I think that is no longer the case.
This is interesting to me, what makes you say that?I think usesPython and Mislim are better partners for happy. And for me I think better partners would be Mint and Dr.Drew.
Mislim is looking like a better partner for happy. He has defended happy and when my wagon was losing votes, he voted for me. Trying to keep the counterwagon alive.
In my case, I think Mint because he has been null on me the whole time, after pushing Clarke went to happy and stayed on him the whole time. Dr. Drew because I think he is actually defending me and pushing the happy wagon.
I still don't see why Alianna is a better partner for either of us.-

And is a bit weird to me that you would talk about who your potential scum buddy could be.....kinda feels purposeful.
Talking about my possible partners is more of me being objective for the town people that don't know I'm town. That can be thrown out the window when I flip town, if you guys bother to read my posts after I'm eliminated.-

Honestly, I'm kind of lost right now. The end of day 1 was a bit chaotic. I woke up and it finished and now this day started pretty chaotic as well. From what I saw in day 1 with usesPython going back and forth with Jason, I thought was frustrated town. I was surprised with the switch from Mislim going from scumreading me to intent and hammering happy.
Now with day 2, usesPython starts another arguement with Mislim. To me, that's town because there is no reason why usesPython as scum would take the attention away from me, which I was most likely one of the ones to be considered to be voted out today. Now whether Mislim is scum in this situation, I don't know.
As for mafia taking out Mint, that makes sense to me, because everyone except for Mislim has him as town. I think the only other person that had that many people thinking they were town was Jason. Keeping Jason alive to make sure to push for my elimination today makes sense. Then scum will be in ELO next day.-

Now this, I find scummy. Let's ignore the two people fighting and push the discussion back to me where we can rehash the same discussion that (adding the happy discussion) dominated day 1.In post 804, Merlyn wrote: So, I don't think this is a SvS argument. (If it is, after this game I will come back and give you both a standing ovation because I mean, 5 pages of just going after each other, no one else here!) I think they're genuinely annoying each other.
I'm wondering if we can table this argument for a bit. I would love to talk about the sequence of events that led to the happy elim, and whether we think there's scum at play and where. Python and Mislim, you could look for the scum partner of your vote in order not to get stuck in the same argument for a while.
Am I right in thinking that you both are saying that the other caused the happy lim? Because I can't think of another reason scum would do that that doesn't involve stopping the eektor wagon.
Python- if Mislim is scum, is eektor their partner? And if not why do you think they caused the happy lim?
Mislim, same question- if Python is scum, is eektor their partner, and if not why do you think they caused the happy lim?-

@Mislim is this one of the big reasons why you are scumreading usesPython?In post 781, Mislim Bait wrote: I guess this is a summary of me vs python and why python is scum
In 694 they come in with a vote on me and a question which I replied at 696
They asked another question at 695 I answered again at 700
They asked why I'm pushing mint for pushing happy which I replied at 703 that bad pushes are still bad even if I SR that person cause I'm not 100% confident with my read
706 is where I explained that python overreacting to happy elim is scummy and sounds fake frustration.
They then explained that anti town!=scum and that shit gambits should be expected in newbie games but despite lowkey saying that happy is anti towny and shit gambit play
in 708 they said happy is 'obviously' a bad elim and only people who think happy is a troll thinks its not
In 722 python kind of implies that if you take all of happy's posts seriously then it couldn't come from scum.
the tone of that post kind of made it seem like he hard townread happy for his posts before he flipped and we obviously know thats not true since the only reason he TRed happy before the flip was because of dumb reasons that happy's partner would've told him to shut up if he's scum.
Post 707 because we're on the topic of playstyle I expressed my opinion that tunnels are lame then suddenly in posts 723 and 724 says that I shaded them for no reason.Thats when I noticed that he isn't asking question because he's solving and that because he have an agenda to push me and nitpick every little answer I gave to just spiral and make it seem like he got a real case against me.
734 overheat with the nitpicking
They then repeatedly asked me why happy would make these posts as scum which is kind of a dumb question especially now we know that happy is town but I replied anyway at 743
Then they insisted that I state the obvious so I did at 749
750 they said that I'm just going for an easy push when literally I was doing just fine on the eektor wagon and I have literally zero reasons to hammer happy there when I could just let the time run out and stay still at eektor.
They seem to think that I have to think for an hour and 30 minutes to find reasons why the frozen gambity anti town pr fishy happy is scum which is lmao.
755 lol
and then they just refused to make a detailed explanation why I'm scum here
If you've read from their first question until now you'll realize that he's just nitpicking and building up his sand castle based on the fact that happy the person I hammered is scum and he's acting like happy is obvious town now that they flipped.-
