It was not pro-scum if pappums had been telling the truth. To have confirmed scum nailed early on Day 1 favors a quicklynch IMO. Why waste everyone's time looking for scumbuddies (who should not be stupid enough to link themselves to Voided) with what could be assumed to be an honest claim & result? My ISO 6-8 give my rational for a VM QL and I reiterate my belief that pappums has to be telling the truth in my ISO 12. I disagree that under the circumstances..if pappums had been truthful my sentiment was pro-scum. As three others did as displayed by their actions if not their comments. With the entire basis for my opinion being pappums' honesty...the fact he lied distorts any actions up to his confession as people (town at least...myself at least) were unknowingly operating on the basis of that lie.Jahudo wrote:
Pro-scum attitude. Even if this is your playstyle opinion, its a strategy that would benefit scum if both those players are town. You are basically advocating entering day 3 that could possibly be after two mislynches.havingfitz wrote:Best thing to do IMO is to just eliminate Voided and if by some chance pappums is not being truthful...lynch him. I would think everything else from this point on with respect to Voided is going to be WIFOM.
@ all. Why did I not question pappums lie? Typically when someone claims a PR...especially early in the game...I am very hesitant to believe them. The reason I was willing to take pappums as legitimate was that he was implicating someone else and there was a way of confirming his claim. IMO there would be no way someone would falseclaim a result on another player when there was a way of proving that result. If VM were to have been lynched and turned out town...it would have been obvious (to me at least) that pappums was scum (or at the very least town not playing to the town's wincon). I had no reason not to believe pappum based on the consequences I felt he would suffer if he was not telling the truth.
Instead...he appears to be getting a pass from many of the game and instead there is a growing wagon on the person who was the most committed to believing him. At this point the only people who know whether pappums and voided are scum are scum...so how can the possibility of one and two mislynches be a negative against me (due to my actions from believing pappums' lie) when one or both of pappums could still turn out to be scum?
I state I assume he is telling the truth and as mentioned above...I give my rationale with my Voided vote and subsequent posts. I don't have trouble believing him because if he had turned out to be lying...it would have implicated him (pappums) as scum. Now with his admission that he lied and deceivedJahudo wrote:
You don't ask for pappums to confirm his thoughts, or question why he is delaying, so I have trouble believing why you take pappums for his word. And why you understand tomorrow you could be lynching him. Its like you aren't worried about being duped today.havingfitz wrote:If we have identified scum it is in town's best interest to eliminate asap vs letting scum manipulate or assess town.uswe no longer have that cut and dry (ie one of them has to be scum) situation. What we do have is at least one player we know has lied and deceived town. What's more scummy...believing another players' claim OR lying and deceiving town and coming right on the edge of what may have been a mislynch?
When I made this post directed at pappums (as well as now) I did not trust him. What is your point? "Sounds like I do enough to lynch?" What? I don't trust him and I am voting him. I don't understand what you are trying to say.Jahudo wrote:
This sounds like you don't trust him, but the rest of your posting sounds like you do enough to lynch. Unless this is also a post you want to have ready in case voided flips town.havingfitz wrote:Your early claim was poor play and your ego at thinking you have pegged a scumbuddy based on my posts is ridiculous.
------------
When people are basing their play on lie...how can they be viewed as acting like themselves? If pappums doesn't lie...my vote isn't on Voided and I'm not looking to anyone for a QL.Jahudo wrote:Both Cecily and havingfitz look like scum. I have town reads on xalxe, pt barnum, neil, mikemike, pappums. Idiotking is also town, but that's a gut feeling. Jinxx, Jerbs, and andrew are null reads. I'm conflicted on voided because he was put into a situation he probably wasn't used to, so he may not have been acting like himself. I want to see more of him not in the spotlight. I don't have a reason to suspect him now though.
What cases on me do you think are decent? And why is neil not a consideration with his inconsistencies and overdefensiveness?Jinxx wrote:I am against lynching all liars. Or any type of policy lynch for that matter. The fact is: both town and scum lie, lurk, and are stupid. Don't lynch someone for just one of those reasons.

Regarding fitz/niel. I think that neil is likely town, and that fitz could be scum. I think that the cases against him are decent, but I would rather vote for jerbs.
@VM...thanks. Not sure that describes any of my posts to neil but definitely think the term troll could apply to neil...and pappums rat for that matter.
andrew...I saw your comments. Was I supposed to reference them? As usual you are posting the bare minimum and your case on neil is all of one or two lines. Not a whole lot to digest in re: to neil. I'm happy for my suspicions towards neil to stand on their own two feet.andrew94 wrote:erm fitz and ceci;y, i notice when u vote/fos neil, u neglected my case yes?Town 57w-66l :: Not Town 29w-16l:: TBD 2

EBWOP:
I went back to this post to try and figure out what you were talking about. I thought it had came after his confession as opposed to prior to it. My comments towards pappums were made in regards to him expressing suspicions towards me...that has nothing to do with trust...that has to do with the knowledge he is off on his read. Which would be consistent IMO with my read on his early claim (which at the time I thought was truthful) and in fact now...consistent with his crap gambit.havingfitz wrote:

your gambit didn't accomplish much tho"Those that hammer others are called scum. But I think those who lurk and refrain from voting are worse than scum. If I'm going to be called scum either way, I'd rather hammer! And if that's not being a proper Mafia player, then I'll destroy that idea!"

If you can't write coherent sentences then its going to cause more problems for you in life than this site. I'd suggest you seek out some assistance in this area.
If you can write coherently but just can't be bothered to do so then you are wasting everyone's time playing on this site.-

That's nice but is there a punchline to your reading of my iso or are you just doing going to do the 'information not analysis' thing? Kinda looks a little like you were going to do a proper read through all the players to find something scummy to frame them with but got bored after me so figured Paupam sort of lied so he'll do.Jerbs wrote:I see no point of joining a flame war.

So me suggesting that there's a reasonable chance Rats will be investigated is role fishing is it ? How do you figure that one out ?Fitz says
So your take is beneficial to him if he is scum. Scum would never do that. Or would they. Pappums may or may not be scum but what he is…in this instance at least…is a confirmed liar. That is enough in my book to lynch. As for there being a “good chance he is investigated”…looks who’s rolefishing now.
As for your scum reads.
1) I’ve explained this in detail and stand by it. Had pappums’ claim been legitimate IMO a quicklynch of Void would have been in the town’s best interest.
2) I’m not writing off anything. I think the time would have been better served not working under false pretenses which were introduced by pappum. And as I have mentioned…regardless of the false pretenses…the D1 events will still be of value later on.
3) How long should I have waited to vote the person I wanted lynched most? Ridiculous rationale. And you may condone lying and misleading town but I do not. Lynching liars IMO is a safe bet.
And there was no mislynch in the bag when pappums claim was still considered legitimate. If you have issues regarding the potential mislynch of Void you need to look at the cause of it…not the people who believed pappum.
As for your answers, OK fair enough but we'll have to agree to disagree - sorry but I have a scum vibe about you and the way you've played the game and reacted to stuff that has happenned (mainly the gambit and the revealing of the gambit).

I think my main issue with you is your immediate over-reactions, ie we have guilty on Voided quick lets end day now, Andrew is bad player quick lets policy lynch, Rats wasn't cop after all - must be scum lynch him. Probably need to get my backside in gear and read some of your previous games to see if its consistent with your meta I suppose.-

if we lynched voided and he flipped town, there are no excuses for your 'fail'.

Maybe you panicked (or however you say that) near the time you actually revealed the gambit, or maybe what andrew said was just realized by you, but they both are certainly ideas of what happened.2011 scummies winner (BTS help) and participant;

If I have no way of knowing there are certain PRs/abilities in the game I do not make any inferences to their existence. I think doing so is a way of rolefishing. At the very least I would construe your comments as steering a potential invesitigative role towards pappums (assuming pappums makes it through the day)...which if he were to flip town...would also translate to the opinion you were steering the investigation towards pappums in order to avoid investigations on yourself or your buddies (assuming you were scum).mikemike778 wrote:So me suggesting that there's a reasonable chance Rats will be investigated is role fishing is it ?

As for my reactions to the lie, fmpov my actions are perfectly reasonable given the circumstances they came under (i.e. the initial belief and the subsequent confession).
He has done some other things to make me suspect him but my level of trust towards him is lower than anyone else atm due to his lie. If by similar gambit you mean...if anyone had lied a PR result on another player...brought them to the edge of a lynch...and then refuted their claim...yes, I would not trust them. And while a revealed lie may make me suspect someone more it wouldn't necessarily move them to the top of my scum list. There are gambits that would not necessarily draw the same opinion from me.mikemike778 wrote:Queston re Rat, you don't trust him but is this purely down to the gambit - ie if anyone had attempted a similar gambit would you have automatically given them a scum read ?

I don't see any of my actions re: the lie as over reacting. They were all based on cut and dry scenarios (though not in the order you present them):
- - andrew is going to frustrate the hell out of town and we are going to regret having him the game the further we get. I never advocated a quicklynch on him...just a lynch on him. Has his play proven me wrong? Also...the play of others has superceded this opinion and andrew would be no higher than 4th on my list at the moment. Jerbs is making him look like an overposting beacon of mafia knowledge.
-pappums got a scum result on Void and since there is no way in my mind pappums would lie...it must be true. Lets lynch Void asap for reasons already provided.
- pappums admitted a lie because he realized (either as town or scum) that it could or would backfire on him. IMO scum have every reason to lie and do it throughout the game. Town have very few reasons to lie ergo pappums earns my vote.

I don't see neil as particularly scummy anymore, mostly because I don't see scum carrying an arguments like his with havingfitz through with that much text and for that long. Also, his reaction post-voided claim was reasonable (the other points against him still stand AFIC).
Xalxe, on the other hand, has done nothing since the voided claim. He hasn't even posted since Tuesday. He's comfortably sat out of any controversial decision. Let's wagon him.Vote Xalxe
If that doesn't take off, I'll switch to Jerbs. Jinxx makes excellent points, to which I see Jerbs didn't even bother to respond. His latest post is particularly weak: "your gambit didn't accomplish much tho." No explanation, no significance, and no attempt to scumhunt. This guy should get wagonned too.
Of the current wagons I'd probably back voided, since I still hate his neighbor-neighborizor claim. But I feel like we can get more done now that pappum's has come clean.
Fair enough, though if I had been scum I probably would have assumed that voided was an SK. Pappum's claim as a gambit is still surprising to me.Jahudo wrote: I think scum would have been eager to join a voided-town wagon in order to get a hammer before Pappums revealed it to be a gambit, because suspicion would then fall to pappums and not the wagoners. It is his responsibility to not let a gambit go too far.
If I've missed an important discussion or question, I'd be grateful if someone could let me know. I have to admit that it is harder to catch up in this game than in others.There's a sucker born every minute.-

i made it explicitly clear that i did not want him lynched, and even unvoted him when he was at l-1 to ensure someone would not hammer him. the whole point of this was to gauge people's reactions to having 'confirmed scum' and what sort of action they would take because of it.andrew94 wrote:@ pappums, you retracted it because you had to.

pappums rat wrote:i did decieve the town
Better examples of personal attacks would be you calling me a 'dumbass' or accusing Jerbs of having sex with aardvaarks (?)...essentially for suspecting you. I'm not sure sex with an aardvaark could be construed as an ad-hom attack but your dumbass comment definitely is. It serves to discredit my opinion based on a personal attack and not on the merits of what I have said. You (and neil) are using them IMO because you realize you do not have a leg to stand on in your arguments against me and as a result need to undermine what I am saying with insults. When I admit to being a dumbass feel free to call me one like I am doing with your admission of lying.pappums rat wrote:once again, im sorry that i lied to you,
It would also appear this comment regarding your lie is not accurate:
Now you want to distance yourself from the lie/gambit by stating you are through talking about it. Well isn't that convenient. You're through talking about it. I suppose that makes sense...why would you want to continue to talk about your lie to everyone? You want to deflect everyone's (at least town's) attention from lie itself and just focus on the excellent results it producedpappums rat wrote:i am ready to accept your scorn and loathing,
Let's see what those results were...
- you determined Voided's initial reaction was really bad (Question to all...wouldn't your reaction be bad if you had just been confirmed as scum when you actually weren't [assuming of course Void isn't]?)
- you were so convinced he was scum (for what credible reason I can not see) that you were willing to let your lie run it's course to a possible mislynch.
- you admit to lying yet state Void's further posting has improved his standing with you and you proceed to defend/rationalize some of his reactions/comments.
- AND then despite the fact he has come across better to you in his recent posts and you can see where some of his reactions/comments came from...you REVOTE him.
CRAP!
Then...the current net result of you masterful "gambit" is that I have come across as your top suspect. You seem to be basing the bulk of your suspicions of me on my actions which were made on the belief of your lie (which I believed). With the knowledge I have of my alignment suspicions towards me just further discredits you in my eyes. You made a bold claim with your result on Void which I was inclined to believe, you admit you lied to us, then you come after me. WTH wouldn't I think you were scum. Then the best you can do is throw insults at people.
All this despite your willingness to lynch Void on the same basis that most people generally base D1 suspicions on (hunches I would argue), your defense of him, and STILL maintaining the confidence in your hunch on him to re-vote him. (at least until you swapped to me) The only time there are better reasons to suspect someone D1 than a hunch would be in the case of a ..............wait for it.....................confirmed investigation result or a really bad and/or exposed lie. ding! ding! ding!
Also...while you had expressed suspicions of me in relation to your lie, your vote on me comes across as nothing more than OMGUS given your confidence in Void's guilt and the only issues you raise when you vote me regard policy lynches (which you yourself admit you support). More hilarity...
1) I don't support lynching gambitors...I support lynching liars (especially to the extent of yours). You call your lie a gambit. I call your lie scummy. And whether you consider your lie a contradiction or not (aren't lies typically a contradiction of the truth once they are uncovered)....the basis of LAL= a lie. I'm not pushing your lynch for contradicting yourself...I'm pushing your lynch because of your lie...and subsequent play.pappums rat wrote:you want to just lynch people for supposedly being vi's (andrew) and for gambiting (me) without really talking and actually scumhunting. it isnt like i said one thing earlier in the game and then contradicted myself later (which i think is the proper basis for lal),
tl:dr;pappums suspects Void enough to lie about him, considers letting the lie run its course to a Void lynch, defends Voids actions and then immediately re-votes him. Then he ad-hom's me and places an OMGUS vote on me for my policy lynch comments.
BTW...I always get a kick out of people who want to lynch other players who advocate policy lynches...it's like a policy lynch loicy lynch. It's inherently hypocritical.
So what are your reasons again pappums for voting me?Town 57w-66l :: Not Town 29w-16l:: TBD 2

Pappums said not to quicklynch. Players were talking about the possibility of a gambit. The timing of his claim was in question. Those should be reasons to not blindly follow pappums to a hammer. At least to question pappums and get him to explain his thoughts more.havingfitz wrote:
It was not pro-scum if pappums had been telling the truth. To have confirmed scum nailed early on Day 1 favors a quicklynch IMO. Why waste everyone's time looking for scumbuddies (who should not be stupid enough to link themselves to Voided) with what could be assumed to be an honest claim & result? My ISO 6-8 give my rational for a VM QL and I reiterate my belief that pappums has to be telling the truth in my ISO 12. I disagree that under the circumstances..if pappums had been truthful my sentiment was pro-scum. As three others did as displayed by their actions if not their comments. With the entire basis for my opinion being pappums' honesty...the fact he lied distorts any actions up to his confession as people (town at least...myself at least) were unknowingly operating on the basis of that lie.Jahudo wrote:
Pro-scum attitude. Even if this is your playstyle opinion, its a strategy that would benefit scum if both those players are town. You are basically advocating entering day 3 that could possibly be after two mislynches.havingfitz wrote:Best thing to do IMO is to just eliminate Voided and if by some chance pappums is not being truthful...lynch him. I would think everything else from this point on with respect to Voided is going to be WIFOM.
@ all. Why did I not question pappums lie? Typically when someone claims a PR...especially early in the game...I am very hesitant to believe them. The reason I was willing to take pappums as legitimate was that he was implicating someone else and there was a way of confirming his claim. IMO there would be no way someone would falseclaim a result on another player when there was a way of proving that result. If VM were to have been lynched and turned out town...it would have been obvious (to me at least) that pappums was scum (or at the very least town not playing to the town's wincon). I had no reason not to believe pappum based on the consequences I felt he would suffer if he was not telling the truth.
Instead...he appears to be getting a pass from many of the game and instead there is a growing wagon on the person who was the most committed to believing him. At this point the only people who know whether pappums and voided are scum are scum...so how can the possibility of one and two mislynches be a negative against me (due to my actions from believing pappums' lie) when one or both of pappums could still turn out to be scum?
You say there's no point in trying to search for scumbuddies in that situation, but what is the harm in keeping the day open until everyone has at least reacted to the claims? These games typically last several months, they are meant to be slow. I don't think anyone's time was being wasted.
So have you never seen a gambit in one of these games?
But you did acknowledge that his early claim was poor play, and yet you were eager to stay on the voided wagon. How was it not enough to make you at least distrustful enough to unvote, wait for everyone to react to the claim, and ask for a role confirmation from pappums?havingfitz wrote:My comments towards pappums were made in regards to him expressing suspicions towards me...that has nothing to do with trust...that has to do with the knowledge he is off on his read. Which would be consistent IMO with my read on his early claim (which at the time I thought was truthful) and in fact now...consistent with his crap gambit.-
