unvote, vote: tubbyfor asking for more post and more talk without actually giving them.
and to the question by yernab, i will do the exact same thing i would do as town. is the answer the same as meji? great mind think alike, or i'm just copying from meji. [serious]it is optimistic for all scum to act exactly the same as they will as town. and i don't think scum should do stuff that scum would do. i would go for the scumtell and lynch the scum but not thinking in the WIFOM cycle.[/serious]-

good scum can always find a good way to jump on a bandwagon that is top in most people's LoS. and scum can always nk the one that is at the bottom of most LoS to get rid of the most pro-town player. i like LoS's when i was scum.Zachrulez wrote:

the "scum would do" things are just the normal scumtells, like bandwagoning without giving reasons. and did i actually say that "being pro-town is scummy"? i don't think so, but i label "being overly pro-town" and "trying hard to be pro-town" as scummy.EtherealCookie wrote:
What exactly is stuff that "scum would do?" The scum should be doing nothing suspicious in day anyhow. So I don't really get your point. And, how can there be a scumtell if you think scum behaves exactly like town? The difference between scum and town is that scum has extra information that it can let slip, not to mention a person who's actually town behaves exactly like town, while a person who is scum usually tries to act like town too hard (Overly pro-town, that either chases after a lynch like a hound or offers an analysis and then remains quiet, just joining bandwagons with a good reason.) That's good scum. Then you've got the silly scum that just tries to remain quiet and out of the picture, which people notice easily. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Tubby.manho wrote:unvote, vote: tubby for asking for more post and more talk without actually giving them.

you can't FoS someone without giving any reasons and think that he would respond to it, and i don't think wrath would be that stupid. so, i ask him if he really want to get respond from me.WrathofShadows wrote: Anyone can post a smiley.

FoS Manho.
I want to see what information i can gather from his response..
Wrath. If you want to see someones response and gather information from it, why would you tell them? Secondly, why a FoS? You could at least vote. Nobody's afraid of a FoS with no analysis. It says nothing.manho wrote:who is that "he"?
Manho, what kind of response was that? You didn't even ask what exactly the point of that was.-

i'm a bit busy these days, no i'm very busy, and i can only access to MS after 2am, which is a bit late to me. but sorry for making so little posts.yernab wrote:After reading EtherealCookie's analysis, I decided to look at manho's posts exclusively.

So, until I get a response from manho explaining why he isn't helping us out more, I'm gonnavote manho.-

the same as here.tubby216 wrote:@manho are those games played like they are here? meaning day time is vote driven rather than say time driven?
that is to say the day ends here when a majority vote is cast,
time driven means you have 24hours and the player with the most votes is lynched.
and can you provide a link?
link, and i was in game 20, 26, 27, 28, 32, 34-41, but most of the games are themed and it may be difficult to find a meta on me base on them. and i've forgotten in which games i was scum. (i can search for them if you really want)-

bandwagon and pressure is good in D1, as it can get reaction from others, especially those who are likely to be scum. my vote on tubby is an asking for respond vote.Meji Fan wrote:Hmmm. manho seems to be pretty willing to change votes and vote for the new popular thing . . . see tubby and now Wrath

Wrath's vote on EtherealCookie is 25% OMGUS and 75% for him focusing on 3 people, which is not a scum tell. so, wrath's vote didn't have much basis but OMGUS, which is scummy. and that he said before that he won't vote without concrete reason, which lead to inconsistence, which is also scummy.manho wrote:WrathofShadows wrote:I don't make a vote unless i have what i conceive to be concrete reason.

i think you are talking about yernab. it seems that he got so much attention and don't know what to do. it is a newbie scum mistake, not a newbie town one. but i will do a reread on him first.Soyasushi wrote:Hmm, I thought I read somewhere that lurking's not necessarily a scumtell, but anyway. I've never actually focused much on him, and the fact that he went all "ULTIMATE CONFIRMAGEEEE!!!" in the beginning seems to be drawing attention to himself, so it doesn't make sense why he's suddenly trying to distract the attention away from himself now. It's strange.-

cookie and bjl are likely to be the two scum. let's see their ISO.
yernab:
#0: confirming
#1: the "if you were scum" agrument ok for starting a discussion, but he said he would do "something" if he was scum and as he is town he will do "other things". seems trying hard to look pro-town, which is a scum tell for me.
#2: give up his "method" when someone disagree with it.
#3: "Pretty confident, then? =P " when someone accuse him. avoid defend himself
#4: say he would be playing safe the rest of the day, and that he knew there will be risk by starting the discussion, which implies he would play safe from the start if he is scum. trying to look pro-town again.
#5: defending himself against soyasushi, and the defense is acceptable. but the last part is interesting:yernab wrote:After reading EtherealCookie's analysis, I decided to look at manho's posts exclusively. If you're reading this, go ahead - at the bottom of the page, set the user to "manho" and see what you get. Although the bulk of EtherealCookie's analysis is aimed at tubby, who has been... rather unhelpful on the whole, manho's posts are even more devoid of substance. And he's an SE, too - if anything, he should be using the benefit of his experience to help us scumhunt. But so far, nothing.
scummy talking with scum-buddy?EtherealCookie wrote:I didn't know I could set to user posts. Thanks for that. Makes reading people much more easier.
bjl:
#0: confirming
#1: dodging soyasushi's question about yernab
#2: said yernab's "trying to look pro-town" as a newbie town mistake, which i disagree. said he had reread the thread a few times but don't find anything blatantly scummy. and then implied we should not scumhunt in day 1. but then ask for reasons for wrath's wagon. maybe trying to find reason to jump on the wagon.
#3: congratulating the doctor
#4-5: explaining why everyone should think there is a doctor
cookie:
#0: confirming as replacement
#1: analysing tubby, wrath and me. and the analysis is acceptable
#2: give a case on wrath, and the case is good
#3: buddying tubby, as tubby said
#4: responding to yernab's #5 post, and i've quoted it above. seems talking to scum-buddy
#5: talking about the post filter
#6: buddying tubby again, as tubby said. attacking wrath and secretly approve of yernab's "if i were scum" question
#7: talking about tubby FoS me for my "contradiction" of haven't been scum before but have been scum. (see post 133)
#8: saying wrath's vote on him is more like a retaliation
#9-15: defending himself and attacking wrath, which i agreed
#16-18: discussing who is the next target if wrath flips scum. probably looking for the next mislynch
#19: "Did he just kill him?"
#20: said he knew who to look for if wrath flipstown
#21: said wrath should do better if he istown
#22: buddying tubby again
#23: finding the mod
#24: "Well. I was wrong about Wrath. I'm surprised, honestly." the word "honestly" didn't seem honest
#25-26: defending bjl
#27-30: defending himself and attacking tubby.
conclusion: yernab and bjl is scum, and cookie is likely to be scum and scum-buddy of yernab/bjl. there are scum interaction between them. cookie is pro-town and scumhunting well in day 1, but he seems know wrath would flip town in twilight, see #20-21. and then he is confident that he is right in day 2. really inconsisting.
so,vote: bjl-

@cookie, so you are voting tubby and FoSing me as we are accusing you? tubby's hammer is anti-town, but he is always anti-town, and if you really think wrath is scum, you should be ok with tubby hammering the scum. and you are FoSing me for what reason? the only reason i can find is that i'm accusing you and bjl. so that's an OMGUS vote.
confirm vote: bjl, confirm FoS: cookie-

so, you are sure bjl is town without reason?EtherealCookie wrote:I just feel the need to point out you are wrong, you are looking at the wrong people, and I am pretty sure BJL will not flip scum. Once again, turn your attention the bandwagon, because that's where the scum lies. So. Bandwagon on bjl, if you must. We'll see where that leads.
so all the lurkers are not scum.I've already said why I don't think BJL is scum. I think scum was on Wraith of Shadow's bandwagon.
I think scum is probably on BJL's bandwagon.
that's not a reason of FoSing me, is it?So, let's examine people who voted for Wraith.
Manho -i don't think 75% is concrete. and focusing on 3 people in a review is not a concrete reason for voting someone, especially when you say you rarely vote. so, vote: Wrath
He pointed out something that was genuinely scummy. Wrath was contradicting himself. Manho had a good reason for voting for Wrath, in my opinion, and didn't just jump onto the bandwagon.Wrath's vote on EtherealCookie is 25% OMGUS and 75% for him focusing on 3 people, which is not a scum tell. so, wrath's vote didn't have much basis but OMGUS, which is scummy. and that he said before that he won't vote without concrete reason, which lead to inconsistence, which is also scummy.
Town vibes.
no, you was very sure that wrath was town last day, you should be happy with the hammering.EtherealCookie wrote:As for 20 and 21...
A guy just hammered. Am I not supposed to look at him?Wow.
Well, if Wrath shows townie, I'll know who to look at next.
no, scum lies in twilight. and you are sure wrath is scum, so you should think he is lying. and now you are shifting your fault for misleading the mislynch to wrath.
Uhm... He claimed he's town. He's dead. Why would he lie? I'm just irritated he didn't put effort into defending himself.Well, if you're really town, I fail to see why you didn't put any effort into defending yourself at the end, and instead gave up.
so i'm scum as i'm defending tubby. but you are scum as you are defending bjl. note that i've reason in defending tubby, but you don't.Anyhow, consider this carefully. Manho, while attacking me and BJL, has been defending Tubby silently. The quotes from me that he calls suspicious are also ones that attack Tubby.
i have my reason for voting wrath, so i'm not bandwagoning. and what's wrong with you are scum, that's a scum misleading a mislynchEtherealCookie wrote:Oh man, Manho. The guy who followed me onto Wrath's bandwagon quickly, and now I'm scum?
that's OMGUSHuh. I think my Day II read is going to be much different on you. If I had to guess who were most likely scumbuddies, I'd go with you and Tubby. You both seem keen to support the "EC is Scum!" case.
a decent case against bjl not don't worth a lynchOh look, you don't like Yernab because he wants to examine you closely. Then BJL comes along. Decent case against BJL. Nothing worthy of a lynching.
and what else should i find?-

bjl is not voted for being useless. he is voted for the fishing, and it is a scum tell.EtherealCookie wrote:So.
BJL is useless townie. This is not enough to have me lynch him on day II. We are going on a dangerous path if we're going to kill off people just because they're useless, when we should be on the hunt for scum. So, keep your vote where it's at, Meji. But, if he shows up townie, I'm going to go, "I told you so", given he didn't have any scum tells and you support your vote over the fact he's being useless, which doesn't have to be a scum tell.
and you hope you can get some help.I hope we can get a replacement for Pianist soon.
so why you are sure tubby and me are both scum? only cop can be sure about who is scum by investigating, but a cop can only investigate once as it is day 2 now. so no one can be sure who are the 2 scums, except for the scums themselves.No, I am sure bjl is town because I know who scum is now.
you are twisting my words. the inverse of "all lurkers are not scum" is "some lurkers may be scum", that's not the same with "all lurkers are scum". if you know logic, you should know it.So you follow a lynch all lurkers policy?
Wow.
i don't know if you are thinking in a proper way. maybe you think me looking pro-town day 1 is scummy. who know?Did you bother reading my post? It seems you didn't.
I was giving reads of people on the Bandwagon. Separately for their actions on each bandwagon. You showed up pro-town Day I. I did not have any suspicions of you. However, your subtle defense of Tubby has changed my mind otherwise.
seems like? no, it is scummy, and anti-town. but i like his hammer as i really think he is scum. i also like a hammer now as i really think bjl is scum.So, just because someone is sure that a person is scum, that means we should ruin all further discussion and hammer? Seems like a scummy thing to do.
how many games had you played? i have seen lots of times scum saying he is townie in twilight.Why the hell would scum lie in Twilight, when scum is already dead?
so why bjl is townie except that "tubby and i am the 2 scums".Yes, the difference is that the person I am defending does not seem scummy at all.
no, you said so:I know that. You had your reasons for voting for him. When did I say you didn't? Are you telling me if a man follows a guy jumping off a bridge, he still cannot have his own reasons for doing so?
and it didn't answer my question why you can't be scum if i vote after you.cookie wrote:Oh man, Manho. The guy who followed me onto Wrath's bandwagon quickly, and now I'm scum?
no, tubby is scummy as he vote you, and i am scummy as i vote you. that's OMGUS.No, that's called holy crap, you're trying to attack me along with Tubby, who is extremely scummy, and gang up on me. You must be scum buddies! Sorry for noting relations between players.
so did you have a good case to show that tubby and i am definitely scum?A decent case is never good enough a reason to lynch. A good case is the only time you lynch.
crazypianist needs to speak more implies crazypianist and his replacement and his replacement's replacement and... , as they are regarded as the same player in this game.Once again, I have to ask, do you read the posts?
Crazypianist isn't going to talk more, given he asked for a replacement, so there's no point of telling him to.-

no, i'm happy with crazy being replaced. the replacement should buy my case instead of yours, if you really have one. but you will have hope in it. but bjl shouldn't be replaced. he was sick, but he will not be sick forever. and now bjl is posting, and didn't ask for a replacement. the only reason why you want bjl to be replaced is that you two are scum-buddy and you want someone else to help defend bjl.EtherealCookie wrote:Uhm.
ReplacementS?
It's not my fault the mod hasn't checked the game and asked for a replacement. You're telling me I'm bad for asking for more people to be in the game so they can observe whats going on and offer their own analysis? There's another obvious scum tell. Look, now you're scummy without having to buddy up with Tubby! You shouldn't have a problem with Crazy being replaced at all (given you're town) if you believe us two are the scum. Yet you do. Huh.
And then we've got a sick guy who says he's not going to defend himself, and obviously needs to be replaced if he isn't participating. Yet, you want an easy lynch. So you're trying to make it look as if I'm scummy for asking for replacements, when replacements honestly don't change anything you've presented in your case. The only role that wouldn't want replacements at your position is scum.-

voting the 2nd vote with reasons is not wagoning.Ojanen wrote:His second vote on Wrath is wagoning after Ethereal's case, in a situation where Zach and Meji have also just stated suspicion on Wrath. Manho has not stated previous Wrath suspicion.
that happens when yernab ask for replacement when in trouble.A few days before deadline he also responds to the floating suspicion of my slot when Soyasyshi talks about it. Manho had not stated previous suspicion on my slot (notice a reactive trend?), in fact at the time of the original early posts that are under suspect he said first
and then didn't comment on the rest of the accusations at all.manho wrote:starting the discussion is always pro-town. the smileys thing is really interesting and need more reseach.
The new conclusion just before deadline that I totally look like newbie scum
that happened when bjl replaced in and haven't said anything with content.
just looks like groundwork on setting up the next vote.manho wrote:but my vote will still on wrath for now. and bjl need to post more, with content.
i've forgotten it as we have obv scums in bjl and cookie.D2 manho first thinks:
Examination of wrath lynch never comes.manho wrote:congratulating the doctor is always a scum tell, may be a small one though. may be fishing the doc claim, or building up a later doc claim.will examine the wrath lynch tommorrow. it's 2:30 am. really need a sleep.
let's see.Instead, after universal heat on beginning of D2 on my slot+Cookie, surprise surprise manho echoes everyone:
The iso work is bloody murderously terrible. Seriously.Read it.manho wrote:cookie and bjl are likely to be the two scum. let's see their ISO.
i seriously think it is a scum interaction. scums usually avoid talking about scumhunting, as they don't scumhunt, so most of their conversation is game-unrelated things or bussing each other.For example, point no.5 from my slot: my first incarnation says there's the feature where you can read a single players all posts in iso, and Cookie replies he didn't know and that's useful.
=>manho deems this to be a serious scummy interaction and connection. Yes, really. I'm not kidding.
yernab's or bjl's? i'm not close with the game, so i would miss out scum point easily, but you know, life is just busy.Continuous trend of trying to show everything in worst light possible i the style of the previous point.
First 3 content posts from my slot he finds scumtells from now, although not at the time (original only comment was the "discussion is good, smileys interesting" line).
don't know what you mean here.Later, this
is anti-town. No matter who the person is, the role stays the same. It's always better to go off content than a flaker slot if you actually want to make the best decisions.manho wrote:so now cookie is asking for replacements to help him and his scumbuddy out of trouble.
congratulating the doctor is a small scum tell by itself, but with other post by bjl and cookie, it became fishing, which is a bih scum tell.also,
in some of the zebra crossing fights with Cookie, manho says:
Great, except this is how big a tell manho originally thought the doc thing was:manho wrote:bjl is not voted for being useless. he is voted for the fishing, and it is a scum tell.manho iso 25 wrote:congratulating the doctor is always a scum tell, may be a small one though.
so what's wrong with setting up lynches on players i think is scum?setting up lynches has been mentioned:manho wrote:@tubby, maybe we can lynch bjl today and cookie tomorrow.
starting the discussion is always pro-town, congratulating the doctor is a small scum tell, and i still with it. but yernab start the discussion while trying to look pro-town and asking the "what would you do if you are scum" question is scummy. and bjl congratulating the doctor while fishing the power role makes a big scum tell.Finally, we arrive to the conclusions of an opportunist:
What certainty can be observed here.manho wrote:@kyiv, read carefully and you will know why we are that sure for bjl and cookie being scum,especially for yernab's game starting question, bjl's congratulating the doctor,and cookie's twilight talk.
But look where he started out on 2 of the 3 things:
game starting question:
doctor:manho iso 6 page 2 wrote: starting the discussion is always pro-town. the smileys thing is really interesting and need more reseach.
The dissonance is just painful.manho first post d2 wrote:congratulating the doctor is always a scum tell, may be a small one though.-

case of rolefishing for Ojanen:bjl wrote:no night kill, eh? looks like we have a doc, and they got lucky.EtherealCookie wrote:Why is it suspicious to assume first that we have a doctor? Nobody died tonight. It's not surprising someone might think there's a doctor.bjl wrote:
how/why is it suspicious? what other explanation is there? I guess it's possible the mafia chose to not kill, but that's not likely and doesn't make sense. If we had been past the 72 hour time-limit for night, I would have considered the possibility that the mafia didn't get their orders in.Meji Fan wrote:Okay, Im definitely looking at bfl, first one to get to speculating on the doc is suspicious, not entirely unlike 'congratulating the doctor'
my first reaction after seeing no one died is really that there is a doctor and the protect success. but after half a minute or so, i think of the situation where the scum did not kill at all. only mafia is sure of whether mafia attempt the kill or not.bjl wrote:
how are people not already "thinking doctor" with no one dying during the night?Zachrulez wrote: Why not? It gets everyone thinking doctor, and then the doctor (if there is one) becomes tempted to claim with the information they think they gained. It's actually a more common tactic than one might think. (Also consider that it can make for a good fake claim by mafia later in the game should it become clear to them that there is no doctor.)
What's the common tactic? Not killing so it looks like there is a doc, so you can claim doc? That seems quite risky.
also, "stating the existance of the doctor after the doctor successfully protected someone" is the same as "congratulating the doctor".
the whole thing why "congratulating the doctor" is fishing is that, bjl and cookie seems sure that or presuading the doctor to believe that the doctor has successfully protected someone the mafia targeted, so the doctor can clear that person. then the doctor will be tempted to claim as if a cop is tempted to claim day 2.
the only reasons why bjl and cookie are sure that there is a doctor is either 1. they are the doctor, or 2. they are the scum whose kill is blocked by the doctor. as there is at most one doctor in a newbie game, so 1 is wrong. point out the third option if you think it is a false dilemma.
i admit to be a bit opportunitive, but it doesn't make you look pro-town. it is an ad hominem argument. so you should prove you are pro-town first before attacking others.-

that's not a LoS, and not a list that provide target for mislynch or kill. LoS provides mislynch as it said who is the scummiest, but the list from me didn't contain bjl and cookie, who is the scummiest and the one that i don't believe is a mislynch. the list also didn't give out nk options. it is likely that we have a doctor, and assuming we have a doctor, scum should choose whether killing the most pro-town one and risk that the kill is protected, or killing the other and lower the risk. so, the scum can't get benefit from the list, but town does.Kyiv wrote:manho wrote:as for the others, soyasushi is the most townish. zach is also pro-town. meji and crazypianist need to talk more. tubby is anti-town but that's tubby.
Manho, can you explain this blatant contradiction?manho wrote:a LoS is a bit anti-town imo, it provides target for scum to mislynch and kill.
i'm not saying the tell "congratulating the doctor" itself leads to the tell "role fishing", and my words "congratulating the doctor is a small scum tell" is talking about the tell itself. however, when we add in other fact such as bjl is persuading others to believe there is really a doctor, our "congratulaing the doctor" case is fishing.Ojanen wrote:I'll start off by replying to manho.
1) To the underlined part: congratulating the doctor does not equal fishing.
You yourself don't think so. The fishing is supposed to be another element, even in your thoughts.
Proof:manho wrote:congratulating the doctor is a small scum tell, and i still with it ... bjl congratulating the doctor while fishing the power role makes a big scum tell.
you really noticed that "the time limit for submitting the night choices has not been crossed and there is no nightkill on N1"? why would a townie be aware of the night deadline? and you know bjl noticed it?2) Why it is natural a townie to assume that there is a doc whenthe time limit for submitting the night choices has not been crossed and there is no nightkill on N1:
but we have mafia no-kill in day 1 for many games, and they are all stupid? and the semi-confirmed things is wrong as scum can be the one that was protected and be the semi-confirmed one. and you are dismissing all the case where scum counter-claim cop or doctor. so, mafia no-killing in day 1 is a common and not bad tactic, it depends on the situation of each game.Think about it. There are 2 scum, who have no idea at this point whether there is a doc or not in this setup; regardless of whether they have a roleblocker or not, it's 50/50 chance.
If they choose to lose their nightkill, and there is a real doctor, the doctor will gain a chance to semi-confirm himself if he's in the game later. PLUS there is the person the doc actually protected who will be also semi-confirmed by the lack of kill, and scum has no control over who this is. N1 the doc chooses from 7 players - 5 town, 2 scum if D1 lynch was town - the semi-confirmed person will more likely be town. Of course it just could be scum, but that's an extremely shaky and risky gambit to make just for that reason.
There could also be a cop. If this is a setup where scum has a roleblocker, I'd say they were pretty insane to choose to no-kill, because in the case of a real doc+cop the cop-confirmed and plus didn't die -"confirmed" could later very possibly lead to auto-lose. Messy and really risky gambit for no real reason.
If it's goon+goon it's still risky, gives up the benefit of a nightkill and you would easily end up with 2 semi-confirmed players late in the game, and those are really inconvenient for scum.
These kind of gambits are more plausible when scum has more knowledge of what is in the setup, through a flip of a powerrole or so. Here, I'd say wild things are possible, but very unlikely.
it is a newbie game, and you shouldn't assume all doctor knows not claiming is the best tactic.And just to make sure, no, the likely doc here should not claim today.
But all of this talk of my slot or Cookie attempting to persuade them to claim, it's not true. My previous incarnation or him never implied they should come out. Just said it's likely there's a doc and got hell for it.
yes, i'm concluding that he should be the doctor or scum. who else can be sure that there is a doctor? maybe the mod do.Also, by going your own arguments of fishing, isn't it much worse to be shouting "he must be scum or doctor!" as you are doing in Cookie's case?
being busy is a reason. as i was behind the game for many times, i need to rely on other's discussion to get back in the game. so, my best way to do so is the look for who is being accused and then look at his ISO to see if he is really scummy for me, and i usually have my own reason to vote. that is scum-hunting.
1. You admit to have been opportunistic.manho wrote:i admit to be a bit opportunitive, but it doesn't make you look pro-town. it is an ad hominem argument. so you should prove you are pro-town first before attacking others.
Then tell me, what reason does a pro-town player possibly have to be opportunistic? Scum wants to just lynch someone and survive. To town the tides are much less relevant. Town wants to hunt and lynch scum, regardless of who is currently under pressure.
Opportunism is a heavy scumtell.
i think i forgot to state that the ad hominem attack is refer to the attack on my accusation. you should be defending yourself now as deadline is near and you are the leading one for a lynch, so your attack on me seems to be an ad hominem attack on my accusation on you. in other words, me being "opportunistic" does not make my case on you worse.2. Saying that your behaviour has been opportunistic is in no way an ad hominem attack. A short hand for someone who behaves opportunistically is an opportunist. We are supposed to be analyzing each others' behaviour.
wait, you are right, and i forgot that you need to push for someone else's lynch to stay alive. so, your attack may not be ad hominem, and you should be defending yourself and attacking someone at the same time.
and that's what i mean by "prove"3. No one can just "prove" they are pro-town.
I am attacking the arguments against my slot that I feel are weak and I'm scumhunting. That is exactly what I should be doing right now. Either people hopefully will see the arguments don't hold water and that there are stronger arguments against others and maybe we will lynch scum instead. Or they will not listen to me, choose to lynch me anyway and then I will have generated a bunch of guaranteed pro-town perspective and points for analysis for tomorrow's lylo.-

@mod: we need more time. can you extend the deadline?
cookie is emphasising that we should look into the wagon on Wrath, but not the scum tell we spot in D2. the wagon is worth an investigation, but it is possible that only one or none of the scums is in the wagon. and the wagon is deadline-pushed, but not scum-pushed, so we can't really get much from the wagon. cookie is just trying to distract our focus to last night's wagon. and along with cookie's twilight talk, he is probably setting up a mislynch on tubby.Ojanen (post 455) wrote:^ Ladies and gentlemen, those are townish looking thought processes.
Slightly tragically I'm leaning more and more like I share a wincon with both of you, so I'll bring some counterpoints.
Can you please reread page 10 once neutrally?
Sequence of events:
1.Cookie says BEFORE suspicion on me: "First, we need to examine the bandwagon on Wrath." (note: brings up a point that makes himself look worse)
...
7. Cookie is left wondering why noone is looking at the wagon:
...
...
as ojanen is being more pro-town in day 2 though bjl is scum, i'llunvoteandvote: cookie-

why do scum need to jump on a deadline wagon. wrath is going to be lynched, so the scum can choose not to jump on the wagon.Ojanen wrote:But about the underlined-sentence, why wouldn't scum love getting on a deadline wagon? It's really the perfect excuse. Especially people like Zach who, for goodness' sake, keep their random vote until 5 days before the deadline while not scumhunting.
the reason why people are looking at a wagon to look for scum is that we need 5 votes to mislynch someone in day 1, but there are only 6 townies that would vote, so a mislynch without scum involving is near to a unanimously wrong town. therefore, we usually conclude that there must be a scum or two on the wagon, but that can't be applied to wrath's case as at deadline, the one with the most votes got lynched. it may only take 3 votes to a lynch and scum don't have to involve in it.
so when did i say i'm voting cookie as he was pushing the lynch? he is scum for knowing wrath will flip town in twilight before the lynch scene and setting up the next mislynch in twilight on tubby.Also, if you think the wagon isn't scum-pushed, what on earth are you doing voting Cookie?-

@ojanen, i know what you mean, yes yes, the wagon is scum-pushed, and that scum is cookie.
what i'm saying about the deadline-pushed instead of scum-pushed is what town-cookie should think. town-cookie should not think the wagon was scum-pushed as he will then be the scum. therefore, town-cookie should think the wagon was deadline-pushed, as we basically have 3 people voting wrath, and the remaining 2 join the wagon just before the deadline.
also, it can be easily seen that cookie was setting up a lynch on tubby at twilight and when he asked us to look into the wagon. however, scum-tubby is not more likely to hammer than town-tubby, as scum-tubby really didn't have to hammer him, while town-tubby may get bored of waiting for the deadline for something (wrath's lynch) that won't change.
also, people are more willing to change their votes to the not-so-scummy player at deadline, so the chance for 5 townie voting the same townie at deadline is much higher than that not happening at deadline.-

so you are saying tubby is pushing a wagon on bjl for the reason that bjl is lurking? have you read the game? if i were you i'll call you unintelligent and can't read properly.EtherealCookie wrote:
If you have problems with the way I play, you can skip over anything I post! That'd be counter productive, though.Wowee. Firstly, I’d like to ask you to refrain from calling people unintelligent and implying they can’t read properly. Personal attacks do not bring anyone on your side.
Game-wise however, you’ve got me definitely questioning your motives.
On your vote in the wagon: Although I didn’t think the original reasons for your vote were valid, Wrath’s reaction was poor. Null-tell overall.
You do follow through on your original intention of looking at the bandwagon, and you come up with manho and tubby as scum. You call both tubby and bjl useless, however you suspect one and not the other. Does tubby’s activity mean he’s scum while bjl’s inactivity imply town?
And, yes, active lurking is much more suspicious, and trying to push a wagon on a lurker.-

i always go all out to defend someone who i think is pro-town. you can look at Mafia 99 where i start defending Far_Cry from page 11 towards the end of that day against Flave's attack.
I really don't like this statement though:
