Halfway there. This is through the end of page 6:
32434th JOURNAL IN A FEW SHORT DAYS wrote:JOURNAL CATCH
1. Is Amrun making a reference to another game there?
2. GreyICE's miller claim is early and very sophisticated. Also leaves the Cop angle unaddressed. I am inclined to believe him.
3. Ani getting all excited about RNG and Amrun's cult reference is scummy. Is also weird that Ace RVS's SX and then complains about Amrun's actual play.
4. CJ's post is weird: "I think he is not lying, but he may be a scum miller." It's just a weird conditional to throw in there, and I'm all about putting conditionals everywhere.
5. Not sure which town on page 1 SX sees. I guess GreyICE?
6. OOH, CJ is Tar? Who's the other half of CJ, then?
7. Ace's response to CJ's question re: what I complained about above is silly, because SX's posts are relatively unfluffy IMO.
8. Dunno why GreyICE got excited about Kast's questions about his ability. Those are good things to clarify early on.
9. OK, Kast's #27 is kinda creepy, though. I have never seen him do a Big Brother Is Watching You thing like that.
10. SX is town this game (@ 36). I could see Kast as scum in that exchange, though; I think he sees himself as a mechanics-player in part, so the miller claim gave him a means of contributing without worrying about things.
11. Pome's post (41) doesn't make sense to me...at all...Amrun is a town weirdo, apparently, and she avoids commenting on what's happened so far by staying with RVS.
Needs moar town reads. <_<
(Is CJ the only hydra in this game...?)
12. Starbuck's RAGE seems pretty disproportionate.
13. GreyICE continuing to ignore Kast's question confuses me.
14. Amrun's vote for Lobster rather than participating in all the drama looks town to me (77).
15. Nocmen reminds me that Ace's posts were off way back when.
Vote: Aceif I don't come up with something better.
16. Stevie's post that SX links gives him weird feelings for the KAST WAGON IS OK BUT NOT GREAT I LIKE IT BUT IF IT GETS OUT OF HAND I WILL BE CROSS ALSO I WILL ASK ABOUT MAFIA TERMS parts. I noticed it too. Agree with Nocmen that I want more from Stevie first, though.
17. Agree with ZeL about Pome, assuming that her #41 is what I think it was (@ 86).
18. Antifinity's vote for CJ doesn't make sense to me. Didn't someone else get more excited about his RNG, namely? Also, with this many scummy players by page 3 or wherever, he can surely come up with something better.
Oh man. Vollkan. You ended up flipping town in Disgaea 2, right? Agree with re: Ace and maybe Stevie, though.
19. Pome is in crazy world.
FoS: Pome
GREYICE JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS GOD. <_<
Ooh, missed that drew UNvoted Ace. O_o
20. I agree with GreyICE that it is POSSIBLE that Kast made up those questions to look town (@ 98). However, the questions themselves are still worth answering.
21. Nocmen's vote for GI is bad. If he's telling the truth about being masons, he is town. If he is not, he is joking, because CJ would point it out. Scum motives are not there, other than to draw unnecessary scrutiny and policy lynch points.
LOL Nocmen spells out the above just below and pretends that lynching freely confirmable liars is pro-town.
22. Celebloki is scummy.
23. CJ is...also voting GI...
-_-
24. Oh, god, this is totally ridiculous. The claim clearly occurred to him because of the silly "scrutiny" arising from being a Miller.
I am frustrated that town apparently also thought it would be fun to vote for him because GOD now this is harder to interpret...
Needs moar townreads. <_<
25. Amrun is my girlfriend in 112 re: Nocmen.
26. Kast is scummy in 113. Namely, I think his attitude toward GI in this game is dissonant with his attitude toward me in [REDACTED].
27.FoS: Kast
28. Nocmen's suddenly switch to Kast is HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM (@ 118).
29. Stevie's 119 is LOL ("CONTINUE LYNCHING KAST PLZ I WILL WATCH").
30. Stevie's vote for GI and suspicion on Amrun is bad.
31. Pome gets townpoints for #131. I forgive her 40% of her past transgressions. This goes away if all my suspects are town.
32.GreyICE, while I don't complainNevermind.
33. SX's 143 is rubbing me the wrong way. It's only a small rub, though.
34. I identify strongly with GreyICE 147.
35. Lobster identifying GreyICE @ rage with Kast @ rage makes me quiver.-

JOURNAL'S END wrote:36. Lobster votes Nocmen.
37. OMG CJ THINKS NOCMEN IS TOWN @ 159 WAT. PLOT MOLASSES!
38. CJ please teach me why Nocmen is town because WTF he is scum. Also do not vote Lobster for voting scum that is cruel.
39. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Amrun doesn't like Lobster for being her wagonfriend. This is not very natural IMO.
40. Ace is a philosopher stargazer (163).
ZeL: Why is Stevie posting good?
Ace: ALLOW ME TO TELL A STORY ABOUT THE SCUM: BLAHBLAHBLAH. Also, voting people is to make them move like puppets rather than to lynch scumz IMHO.
41. I could see Stevie-Amrun with Stevie bussing possibly (@ 171). His suspicion for her earlier was like 95% drawn from the aether. (Sorry @ my girlfriend; is not yr fault.)
EDIT: Except that whining about people voting with you is a real scumtell SOOO yeah.
AMRUN CHANGE YOUR WINCON BACK.
42. I guess that answers my question about the rest of the hydra...gosh...Ludi's in all the fancy hydras these days...
43. I bet I know who GreyICE is going to claim. ^^~
2ND CRUM BTW
44. I am happy that my predecessor finally posted and didn't say anything stupid. <3 THANK YOUALTPERSON FROM 2008.
45. OK I confess to basically not reading Nocmen's 177. Please make posts that are not so impossible to read THANKS.
I AM AWARE THAT I AM MAKING THIS MONSTROSITY.
46. OK, so I read said post and it is basically questions that I doubt he will follow up on and characterizations like "flailin." I mean it's directed at Stevie and still doesn't do much for me.
NOCMEN IF YOU ARE TOWN AND STEVIE IS SCUM WITH AMRUN PLEASE BECOME MORE TOWN.
47. Kast discredits Ace for "forcing Kast out of his comfort zone" without any reasoning. This rubs me the wrong way because I could totally see this as scumKast-in-comfort-zone.
I am interpreting TOO MUCH scum->scum violence this game. Somethin's gotta give.
48. SX is LERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKAN and I think he was doing it actively but I am not very good at maths (@ 181).
49. Lobster made me lolirl @ 184.
50. Stevie is lord of scum in 186. The LINGERING fake focus on Amrun, etc. just seems totally insincere. I'd vote for him if I didn't sneak a peak and see that he's at like L-2 already or something.
51. Is Lobster's "just like physics" simile is an intentional allusion to Ace's silly post from earlier? I will assume it is and giggle again (@ 188).
Also, is that a Zhen Ji avatar?
52. Pome says that her scummy post was meant to be scummy...? I guess (190)? Am misremembering?
53. Ah, nevermind. Vollkan clarifies the above in 192. It's about Amrun's attitude toward that post.
54. Starbuck totally ignores what's going on and votes Stevie (195). Scummy? Time will tell!
55. Something happened to SX in 202! PLOT THICKNESS.
56. SX's 219 seems...I mean, it wouldn't make sense for scum to just be able to redirect whole lynches...unless he's thinking it's linked SPECIFICALLY to Stevie.
57. OK, Amrun's townread on Stevie is now weirder than weird @223. Stronger than I would've expected.
58.
Antifinity wrote:I can't help but feel Amrun is being legit. I'll still be suspicious if Stevie flips town though.
This makes no sense in two halves.
59. Amrun's #227 is the opposite of sensible. Again, it's HOW DARE SOMEONE WAGON WITH ME.
60. I've gotta at least admire Ace for sticking to his guns in 231 re: VOTES ARE TOOLS.
61. Actually agree with Pome's 240.
62. Lobster being suspicious of Amrun makes sense to me given circumstances, BUT I am surprised at the specific reasons.
63. I echo Lobster's 255.
64. Oh man. Kast's 266 is so pretty and nicely-organized that it almost makes all my bad feelings go away.
65. OMG TAJO <3 BE MINE <3 I NEED A NEW LOVER S/P AMRUN PERHAPS BEING SCUM.
66. I agree with tajo's first few pages 100%. Not sure why he votes a non-player like drew when there are so many high-profile weirdos amuck. Whatever.
I think those reads still make sense on page 5, so that part's OK, too.
67. Kast's post "alleviating doubts" for Amrun (274) can only be viewed with suspicion when she is basically his own town read (i.e. one of few).
68. Nocmen does not understand why Kast is scummy (275). Jury is out on what this means.
On reflection, I notice that Kast doesn't actually have GreyICE down as scummy in his summary post. So that's a point in his favor re: the thing I thought I noticed earlier.
69. SX describes an angel attack in 283, probably based on that halo-y one that attacks Asuka near the end of the series. At least one faction is probably the Angels. I would not be surprised if SEELE were another faction. I'm really interested to see how Kaworu is used. /spec that I can't hold back any longer.
It's a little weird that the effects of the "intrusion" are unknown...
70.
CJ wrote:At risk of answering for another player, there are two kinds of players that tend to play below capacity. One of those categories is Mafia. Given something I spotted earlier in the thread, however, I'm pretty sure that Nocmen instead fits firmly into the second category, especially since that second possibility is also a very good explanation for another thing that Nocmen has done this game (and a bit of mod meta negates the most obvious objection to that possible explanation) - and that second category is very, very firmly town.
This made me lol. Also: I'll take your word for it for now....
New development is mainly that Amrun is scummy.-

TOWN
GreyICE -- Obv
CandleJack -- I trust him.
tajo -- I need commentary on the remainder of the game, though.
Iecerint
SpyreX -- I ALMOST wanna put him in Neutral for lerkan, though. <_< WHEN I AM REDUCED TO THIS, GOD.
vollkan -- Vollkan is actually a voice of justice this game. I do not really have negative feelings in spite of negative expectations. Bodes well!
Pomegranate -- I see big tells both ways, but the town ones are winning out atm. This one can be analyzed in light of flips later on.
NEUTRAL
Antifinity -- I actually think he's pretty scummy, but I feel like I have too many scumreads. At least, I never have any idea where he's coming from. Maybe scum if the game is on its head.
Starbuck -- Main game-related activity I can recall is supporting the Stevie wagon with blinders on. Likelier scum if Stevie is town.
Ace -- There's a detachment to his posts that are easy to play off of a scum role PM. I dunno whether this is par for the course, though; no playing-with since Kingdom Hearts ages ago.
drew -- Blah. Blah. I can't even remember anything he did, except once when he unvoted Ace for reasons that still make no sense to me.
ZeL -- His posts are actually pretty sensible, but nothing to put him above
GhostWriterMotorcycleHero -- Par for the course.
LobsterCatapult -- Not scum with Amrun. But kinda scummy? But not really? Neutral.
WHO?
Kawaii
Surye
Celebloki -- I remember this player having like 2 posts, and they were both scummy. But there were 2.
malthusis -- I remember having opinions about one of this player's posts, but I forgot them, so they must've been pretty weak opinions. All I know about him is replacing him in Kingdom Hearts years ago...
SCUM
Amrun -- Gets scumreads on people who wagon with her, unexplained Stevie townread, bizarre Stevie attack on her. Also, I really like Amrun, so I think me having scum feelings on her doesn't bode well.
Nocmen -- BUT I get weird relational towntells. BUT he makes crappy cases (re: Kast). And scummy ones (re: GreyICE)
Ace -- I guess. Maybe he's Neutral? I am putting him there.
Stevie -- He lives in a fantasy world. But is that where scum live? I guess mainly if Amrun lives there? The recent disappearance doesn't do much for me.
Kast -- It's no stretch at all to me for this to be the scum variant of the standard strategy I see Kast employ. In particular, I think his attitude toward GreyICE doing shenanigans is dissonant with how he tends to behave when I do the same.-

I would've been ADDING my vote to Ace around that time, so the unvote seemed very weird. I don't know what the point of RVS is (well, there's still SOME point, but) if you remove said votes as a matter of principle.
My finished-game experience with Kast is just the original Brave and the Beautiful. He was very into set-up/mechanic analysis, very into kind of addressing all points of view and consolidating them, but also a little bit detached from the X v. Y elements of the game. This game, he's still doing that, but enough of his analysis seems motivated to support theses that I don't think are very plausible that I am suspicious. I think I highlight a couple of examples through my readthrough, one fairly early on. The big one for me is his attitude toward GreyICE this game. I'm SLIGHTLY appeased by his eventual agnosticism with regard to his alignment, but only just.-

@ GW -- That's correct. When I've done analogous rabble-rousing in the past, his attitude is like "We can use whether people leap to lynch this as a scumtell." When GreyICE did similar things this game, his reaction was "Do not do that; if you do dumb things, you may get lynched, which is anti-town if you are town."
The fact that there is apparently a meta reason for bad feelings here moderates my feelings a little.
@ SX -- WELL, good point. But I mean very niche + that didn't stop lynches per se IIRC.
@ Amrun -- Lobster is along the same level as drew to me -- meaning, not much going on one way or the other. The thing that I can remember is that she followed you on a wagon and that made you uncomfortable, but that made me suspicious of you more than her. I think there was something else weird, too (i.e. something actually Lobster-linked), but I can't remember it atm. Must not've been very memorable.
@ Nocmen -- Are you asking about my old game with Kast? Superficially, his play was very similar to what's going on here. The difference is that it seemed like his analysis was kind of biased in this game; like, he'd present information that I'd also just read, but then come to conclusions that didn't necessarily seem particularly obvious to me. The example in this game that originally made me O_o was his early game questions @ GreyICE, which, while reasonable questions, seemed to be presented in lieu of other game participation, if that makes any sense. The discrepancy described above also fits this pattern (like, you could see someone with Kast's playstyle as either a policeman or a scumhunter, and he's leaning toward the former here more than I'm used to).-

And yeah, Rei's one of the 3 main characters, and an extremely popular one.
It's conceivable, if a longshot, that she could be scum, since she's a vessel for an Angel. She could also be a fakeclaim for someone like Kaworu, since they're both vessels for Angels, but he's a 3rd party one and she's pretty much town, albeit with blue and orange morality.-

Reasons for Rei to be a safeclaim:
- "Scummiest" of the main characters.
Reasons for Rei to not be a safeclaim:
- Most popular of the main characters.
P-edit -- That is not really what it says. It says that the flavor will be drawn from all of the various Evangelion universes and then makes that claim on that basis:
Special Rules wrote:E2) Flavor text in Role PMs and/or modscenes is purely for flavor purposes and does not necessarily contain any information about the setup unless it is explicitly stated that it pertains to the game. Any characters that appear in flavor text are not necessarily in the game or still alive at the time of the mod scene.
E3) Source material for this game comes from both the original Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series and movies, as well as the Rebuild of Evangelion movies. Flavor in this game may be taken from either source in cases where there is a conflict between the two, so no game-related information can be gained by analyzing the flavor in this manner.-

Amrun has since explained that the reason she thought Lobster was scummy for supporting her wagon was that the basis for her sheep was not good:
Amrun wrote:Iece - I was voting the wagon, but Lobster sheeped onto it by quoting a "slip" that GreyICE pointed out. Hint, it was not a slip. That's a pretty reliable scumtell, in my book - more reliable than sliphunting itself.-

LLD wrote:Grey, remember what I found between Vi and Seraphim in Bebop?
Drew and Ace.
What's the context? Is this proposing scum connections? I actually see an Ace-Kast scumfriend connection more clearly if that's a scumfriend posit.
VOTE: Ace
LC lynch might be OK, but I'm iffy enough on Amrun that it's not my favorite thing. I think Ace and Kast fake-distanced early on and both are scum. Ace's "this wagon is good but not as good as Kast" re: LC really did it for me.
P-Edit -- I don't have a "confused" read on you, LLD. Rather, I think it is crazy that someone would have a top-tier town read on someone who had only read through page 5 while having a "neutral but I want more content" read on someone who'd given more content. Either you are a 110% gut player, or there is a clear logical disconnect.-

OK, I looked at his longpost again. The only reasons scum would come up with that kind of post IMO are:
1. Self-conscious attempt to obtain VI status.
2.Extremely weak play resulting in coming up with "bad claim"-based vote for GIBut GI is a bad target choice, anyway, unless he also just didn't want to read.
I think 2 is unlikely, and we can probably meta to determine whether 1 is plausible.
I doubt Surye is for lynching today.-

The main basis for Surye's GI vote was on the claim (at least, that's what the votepost itself says IIRC)...and that happened on page 1...

This reads like the claim is the important part (since the other stuff is tacked on at the end) BUT whatever.
It also reads like you mainly do not like GreyICE as a person. I am not convinced that that is a very reliable way to find scum.-

Contrary to your claims, I don't think Kast ever tried to discredit me. Could be because he knows I get really grouchy if people attack me D1 on a weak basis.
I'm OK with Kast going first.

Set 1
Basically, I disagreed with you so much that I started to assume this was the scum version of your playstyle (i.e. similar to your town one, but in service of a predetermined, scummy version of the game rather than being based on an objective view of the game. I don't think I ever accused you of active lurking. This also speaks to your penultimate question.
I actually think you did attack GI -- your tone and so on was constructed that way -- even if you didn't end up putting him on your scumlist. It's still better that you didn't put him there than otherwise, though.
I thought you and Ace have both had weird love-hate low-on-action-high-on-words swipes at one another, which looked fake to me. This also speaks to your last question.
I don't remember the Amrun/Kast catch-up you're alluding to, but I'm going to assume that Amrun's behavior is relevant because I think she's scum, and if my scumreads are doing things that scumreads shouldn't do together, I may need to reevaluate, etc.
Set 2
I don't think GI's case was crap. I think GI is town. I am OK with supporting town crusades on scum reads, especially if my preferences are relatively niche.-

Well, he did claim one-shot. He put himself on a tight leash.-

Yeah. I don't really remember her ever calling an air strike either. In Episode 1 the Japanese government attempts that, it fails, and then they turn responsibility over to NERV.-

Do the flavor names seem sort of out of place ala "airstrike" ?-

Antifinity wrote:The "Magi Complete System Check" followed by the "The game state may have changed, although you're not certain how" thing makes me suspect the Magi masons may no longer all be town.
The flavor reminds me of the computer-virus angel. In the flavor, Ritsuko has to use the Magi to remove the infection.
The other possibility is that either Rei or Kaworu was identified, but I think this is relatively less likely.-

Well, if we're positing that CJ was recruited, I think there are definitely precedents where cult doesn't learn if their targets were successful, which would necessarily preclude private talk...
CJ's confirmation of the ability working in-thread actually fits with this version, given that he is scum and not mundanely empowered.
Unless you've noticed some reason why this possibility can't be in play?-

SX, you never responded to my admittedly-vague inquiry about your "demons" PM.-

No, this is what I'm saying:
1. If CJ is scum, he was almost certainly recruited last night.
2. When players are recruited, they sometimes are not able to communicate privately with the broader scumteam.
3. CJ confirming what happened in-thread fits with not being able to privately confirm that he was recruited successfully. (NB: It also fits with being town who was mundanely empowered.)
The relevance of this entire line of thought is whether the scum know who all the other mason Magi are given that CJ was recruited. If CJ can talk privately to the scum, he can tell the scum who the other Magi are. If not, he cannot, except via crumbs, etc.-

I don't really know the cult meta on this site, so it's hard to say.
I've been in 2 games that had a cult -- a UPick run by Empking, where I was personally recruited and able to talk; and Of Gods and Men, where recruited players did not know who recruited them and could not communicate with the recruiter. So that would put it at 50%, but I don't claim to know much about the more general case.
I suspect that it's more likely to be play here because being able to tell about the other Mason partners would make the set-up very swingy in a very avoidable way (i.e. assuming that only the Magi are infectable).-

The problem with that version of reality is that it proposes that Stevie and CJ and Kast (and soon SX) are all scum AFAICT.-

Who did CJ express a worry about yesterday? SpyreX.
Who is he likely to investigate? SpyreX.
If scum has some kind of framer ability, who would they frame?SpyreX.
Where the hell did that come from?-

And CJ wasn't investigative until today, nor did he gambit as much AFAICR, so positing that scum uses CJ's feelings as a basis for hypothetical framer ability usage is crazy.-

I doubt Kast==Ritsuko is the scum inventor. If Kast is scum, Ritsuko is a fakeclaim. I do not know of any Angels for whom inventor is a plausible role, and Keel was probably the SEELE representative.-

Looks like L-2.
I thought vollkan was town D1 but w/e.
Edit: I was thinking that SX might be a delayed recruit, but the fact that the Magi are now Neighbors rather than Masons implies that the takeover flavor applied to them, I think.
Then again, I think one of CJ and Stevie (I think Stevie) implied that SX was being slow-recruited where the other (I think CJ) insisted that it had already happened.-

It's actually rational for CJ to want to lynch the other mason-turned-neighbor AFAICT. It's at least as confirmed to a hypothetical CJtown as a Pome crumb.
Not that I think CJ is the town one left, but.-

Angels + Cult + Serial Killer + Town
OR
CJ is scum and Nocmen isn't.
HMMM.
Isn't Gehirn basically just the earlier version of Nerv, anyway? It doesn't make flavorsense that they'd be opposed.
I've never seen the Rebuild movies, though.-

Kaworu apparently gets more screentime, though.
I actually have the first Rebuild movie downloaded. Maybe I'll watch it tonight.-

?
We're recruited Cult (GEHIRN), Nocmen is Mafia (Angel).
I understand that, but I still don't understand what you're going on about. How is Nocmen (the "first" one you want to get lynched) a recruited traitor? O.o
You implied that you attempted to cult Kawaii last night and inferred that your recruit attempt killed him.-

Also, I think you said yesterday that Eva-01 knew not to claim IIRC. The current flip doesn't make sense with that.-
