This entire post is basically mudslinging.Umbrage wrote:Anyway, my 'stifling discussion' post spawned more discussion than anything so far, so I'm calling it a success. The scummiest players so far are ThAdmiral and Cyberbob. They come in, vote un-randomly, and disappear. Don't like.
Olinea and chamber have to stop the posting diarrhea. A long and confusing game helps scum. Don't post unless you have something to say. Always have something to say.
I "disappeared" apparently, even though the game has been going for less than a day?
Olinea and chamber are posting diarrhea?
Seriously?

This is the worst post in the game so far. You answer your own question: you lied about the reasoning for your vote.

I agreed with them yes but that is not why I voted him. Sora is right I was specifically pushing the bandwagon. I want to know why he thinks this is bad and if he doesn't what he is implying by it being too much of a coincidence.

But you said you were suspicious of me and cyberbob for disappearing. Explain.Umbrage wrote:@ThAdmiral: I haven't backtracked on my stance that excessive posting is anti-town. When I gave my scum reads, I based those primarily on who was fooling around in the RVS, and who was looking for a wagon to jump on. It had little to do with activity level.
Also I can't see the pic in 116. What is it?
Ooooooohhh, ok. I understand now.el simo wrote:
Because I decided to ignore the previous seriousness and specific reasons for voting him and randomly bandwagon him. I thought I made this clear but the amount of times I insisted that you were reading it wrong. The previous content of the game had no adherence to my vote and I wasn't acting in random in my decision to bandwagon him.

If he had admitted straight up it was a joke vote or a vote specifically to push the bandwagon I wouldn't have stayed on his case. He didn't.Olinea wrote:

Sorry for absence. Was unexpectedly busy last couple of days.
Can you please restate the questions?el simo wrote:Umbrage and Admiral are still ignoring my questions. I don't ask them because I have nothing else to do. I want answers please.
My vote wasn't random. I don't believe playing out the rvs for the rvs's sake is good play. I think the sooner a game gets out of the rvs the better. I don't think indiscriminate bandwagonning for the sake of a bandwagon is good.Furcolow wrote:The person who earns my FoS the most is not El Simo, but thadmiral for deterring the wagon by placing a RVS on someone. Why not bandwagon at that point?
This comes out a bit harsh, but I agree with the spirit of it. Ever since VI's became an accepted part of mafiascum the game has become less fun/skill based imo.Umbrage wrote:

I'm not so sure about my case on el simo anymore. His posting in the last 4 or so pages has been pretty good and has given me town-vibes. His defence of furc also strikes me as town. I can confirm that furc is like this in most games and while I don't like how he plays it still doesn't mean he should be lynched.
I don't like cyberbob (pushing furc policy lynch hard) and thirdkoopa (the weird instant unvote), but for now I will justunvote.Don't ask me to provide self meta-

I don't condemn him as much for the lack of reads as he has quite a few people he has listed as town. As you point out, though, the fact that he voted umbrage because he was "seeing more of something in umbrage now unlike before" (from his post 223), which is a weird reason, and then had him as neutral in this list is suspicious.sorasgoof wrote:
You have no scum reads at all, other than one "slight scum read" based on gut? I find that hard to believe. And how do you not have any read on Pie? He's been interacting with you quite a bit. What makes you think chamber and I are more townie than anyone else? Your reads are quite similar to Furcolow's reads...ThirdKoopa's List
1. ortiz1193 - Neutral
2. el simo - Town (Slight read + Gut on this)
3. ThAdmiral - Neutral
4. Furcolow - Neutral
5. Umbrage - Neutral
6. chamber - Town
7. sorasgoof - Town
8. InflatablePie - ??? (You replaced an inactive person so...)
9. Olinea - ???
10. Cyberbob - Neutral (Slight scum read but this is really gut feeling right now)
12. TheLonging - ???
Then, we have the horrible vote on Umbrage (who, by the way, is now a neutral read for some reason), the unvote, and the subsequent burst in activity after being called out. I was already becoming suspicious of you in your ISO5, but everything since then has made you the most scummy player in the game at this point, in my opinion.vote: Thirdkoopa

Now I am suspicious for ortiz and pie.
Ortiz for buddying up to pie pretty heavily. Pie for pointing out the fact that ortiz is buddying (one could read "You're welcome, now stop sucking up to me please." as "dude, stop buddying up to me so obviously!"), and also for voting sora even though he is apparently 100% sure thirdkoopa is scum, because he is enjoying playing around with him or something.

Thanks for responding. I suppose if there was buddying it would be scum-scum or scum-town, and ortiz would be the scum in both of those situations.InflatablePie wrote:
You can also read it as "I noticed you're buddying up to me and I am pointing it out". Just because oritz is buddying up to me does not make me scum by comparison (assuming in this case oritz is scum).ThAdmiral wrote:Pie for pointing out the fact that ortiz is buddying (one could read "You're welcome, now stop sucking up to me please." as "dude, stop buddying up to me so obviously!")

Ortiz has actually been wishy-washy on a number of things. He voted el-simo at the start of the day, then flipped to having a slight-town read on el-simo and voted umbrage instead. Then he agreed with umbrage's vote on sora, but didn't take his vote off umbrage. Earlier he had expressed some suspicions of 3k (iso 20, 21), but when that wagon died down he decided that he wasn't suspicious of him any more (iso 23), and voted cyberbob instead.Olinea wrote:Ortiz (Wishy-washy on the matter)
He seems to be keeping his options open for most of the major wagons and has flip-flopped quite a few times.

vote: ortiz
As I said to umbrage "I would say I expanded on something that Olinea mentioned about ortiz." My whole post detailed times that imo you had been wishy-washy though, so it wasn't BS.
2) Not wishy-washy. As soon as I figured out what el simo was saying, and why he wasn't scummy, it made Umbrage scummy for pushing it as hard as he was.
This actually makes sense so I will let it go, but I still find it a little funny that you would flip straight to umbrage. If you had been pushing el simo for a misunderstanding couldn't it have been possible umbrage was doing this as well?
3) The post in question:
Pretty sure it clearly says that I was suspicious of all of them, and I was going to reread, which is why I left my vote where it was.ortiz wrote:^^good vote.
I'm content with my Umbrage vote at the moment, but TK is pretty scummy and I've had a bad feeling about Soras for a while. I'm really confident at least one of those 3 is scum. I'm gonna reread the 3 of them because I think I might prefer one of the other two lynches over Umbrage. Also, not sure what to think of CB. I get the scummiest vibe ever from him but I don't know if he's actually scum or if it's just his playstyle.
Note: Pie is not playing his scum meta at all. He could've changed, but I'm pretty convinced he's town at this point. I have a pretty good idea of what his scum meta is because I pretty much based mine off of it >_> (and I stalk his games).
Okay, now I understand why you left your vote where it was, but I am still somewhat suspicious of you for keeping your options open to go with whichever bandwagon picked up the most steam.
4) The "suspicions" mentioned:
ortiz wrote:Pie: Go ahead and give us the case on why TK is scum. I see his lack of pro-town vibes, but I didn't see anything that screams scum in the ISO.
The scummiest thing TK has done is unvote as soon as you pressure him like that - he majorly caved right there.
This is my favorite part. The first quote is hardly showing suspicion compared to the second one, where I did show suspicion. The second post is #324. Remember that reread I said I was going to do? Yeah, that happened 5 posts after this one. 5. So tell me please how the TK wagon "died down" in the 5 posts in between my suspicion and me saying that I don't think he's scum. Hint: It didn't. I reread the game, like I said I was going to in the previous post, and like I said in the post where I said TK was town.ortiz wrote: I'm content with my Umbrage vote at the moment, but TK is pretty scummy and I've had a bad feeling about Soras for a while.
Admiral added the "but when that wagon died down he decided that he wasn't suspicious of him any more" just to put me in a negative light. Misrepping, taking out of context, whatever you want to call it.
I reread your post in which you voted cyberbob, and it does seem more like an honest re-evaluation of your suspicions than anything nefariousunvote
I have fucking no idea in this game.

His reactions feel like they are frustrated town rather than frustrated scum imo. My gut isn't very good at telling me who is scum but it is pretty good at telling me whether frustrated reactions are town, for what its worth.Umbrage wrote:

Oh I am totally with you as far as scum tell>gut. In fact I hardly use my gut because, as you say, it can distract you and make you second guess yourself. I don't think I've ever voted someone based solely on gut.el simo wrote:I don't know I've never been one to use my gut in this game, Admiral. If a tell is committed and my gut tells me not to vote him I'm only going to be distracted by him as long as he is alive.
Scum tell is scum tell, gut feeling or no. My vote stays.
But... I feel like I have an ok-to-good handle on whether someone voicing their frustrations are doing so as town or as scum. In this case I believe sora is town.Don't ask me to provide self meta-

It was suspicious to me because he said it was a random vote that just happened to be the third on a wagon.Zdenek wrote:- It seemed pretty clear to me that el simo was going to take heat for his "random" vote, but ThAdmiral votes el simo using the ridiculous third on the wagon scum tell. This is playing it safe because it builds a backdoor right into the vote. This vote as a way for him to draw attention to el simo's "random vote" without having to push a case.
If I feel someone can explain their actions adequately to me I will unvote them. If someone explains their actions to me and I don't buy it I won't unvote them.Zdenek wrote:- Later he casts suspicion on Ortiz and Pie, and both cases are lame. He unvotes as soon as this is pointed out to him. Next he decides to vote Ortiz for being wishy-washy, which is another lame case. Ortiz points this out to him and he unvotes again.
This feels to me as though he doesn't really believe that the people he is building cases against are scum because he is happy to let them off once they explain themselves to him.
It sounded like he was being evasive. I hate it when you ask someone a question and they pretend not to know it was addressed at them. In this case though heZdenek wrote:- He accuses chamber of playing coy, which I think is mudslinging considering that it was completely unnecessary since chamber had already provided reasons for his vote.actuallydidn't know it was addressed at him.
I already believed Umbrage's earlier point about people disappearing was bs, and this just made it seem even more so. I called him on it.Zdenek wrote:- He accuses Umbrage of backtracking regarding how fast he wants people to post. This is another example of mudslinging because there is no scum motivation for what Umbrage did that I can think of.
A good point is a good point, no matter where it comes from. I was going to say the same thing but someone had already said it for me.Zdenek wrote:Also, as Furcolow has already pointed out, he later "This's" the post of someone he thinks is scum, who is attacking someone who he just unvoted, and who he is about to vote again. To me this shows a lack of sincerity in his vote and unvote on el simo and his vote on Umbrage.
You must have missed the bit where el simo specifically stated, about 10 times, that it wasn't a random vote.Zdenek wrote:He says that there is a discrepancy between what el simo is saying and what he has done. I think this choice of words was designed to paint el simo as scummy, when asked to explain what the discrepancy is he says that he thinks el simo made a random or jokey vote, copped heat for it and that he is now trying to explain his way out of it. I think this is exactly what is happening, but there is no discrepancy.
Pro-town fluff is a bit harsh. I was stating my views on how I play the game after being questioned about them.Zdenek wrote:ISO17 (Post 308):

It's all the replacements. It sucks to wait around for people to replace in, and it especially sucks when the person you are voting replaces out.InflatablePie wrote:- We need to lynch someone already. This deadline extension is making the day drag (IMO) and the game is getting boooooring.
That being said there's nothing we can do but wait for a full roster of players.Don't ask me to provide self meta-

Is there anyone you wouldn't be willing to lynch?Furcolow wrote:
My point is I don't have to believe anyone is scum to be willing to lynch them, because there is noone I can be sure of that is scum.ThAdmiral wrote:

I don't mind the length of day, I do mind that only half of the playing group seems to be actively posting at any one time.
@ el simo: I think your case on olinea is a bit of a stretch.
@ Emma bunton: he definitely is a good deadline lynch, the only thing muddying the waters is that he apparently asked to be replaced out and has, as far as I can tell, disappeared from the site.Don't ask me to provide self meta-

My reads are:
-Town-
el simo - after the weird random-vote thing at the start posted well and looked to be genuinely scum-hunting
Olinea - asked good questions, formed reads and stuck to them
Fugitive - spoke his mind, came across as genuine
-Neutral-
Baby Spice - hasn't said enough for a proper read
Furcolow - said some weird stuff, said some good stuff. I'm not too sure if he is scum or town
-Scum-
Zdenek - replaced scumbrage, the unexplained +s and +t stuff was suspicious, and after initial burst of activity seemed to fade in to the background
InflatablePie - interesting interactions with ortiz, spent majority of day 1 attacking sorasgoof and 3k who were both town, as per his own argument being on the 3k wagon when it got to 4 makes it likely for him to be scum
Otiz1193 - interesting interactions with ip, wishy-washiness - I also found this:
Note that he left his vote on cyberbob for the majority of the day. Not only was cyberbob town but he got up to a grand total of 2 whole votes at one point. I would say he was "avoiding voting for the people who are under suspicion".ortiz1193 wrote:
Nothing specific. The problem is you play exactly like I used to as scum.Olinea wrote:
Is there anything you want me to comment on? I realize the activity could be better but I think anything major that's happened I've given my views on it.ortiz1193 wrote:I still don't like Olinea's play. He rarely posts and avoids all major wagons when he does. I mentioned this earlier but I'm pretty sure I got no responses from anyone on the matter.
Which major wagons have I avoided? I've had soras pegged as town for a while and nothing else major jumps to mind.You post in a really protown style and then avoid voting for the people who are under suspicion to avoid voting for a mislynch, which makes you look more town.For example, we had like 4 scum candidates at one point that everyone's attention was on, you posted and called Soras town and then voted Umbrage (who wasn't suspicious at the time.) It's just a style I'm familiar with and it makes you seem likely scum to me.Don't ask me to provide self meta-
