HypersomniacLive: Any particular reason you've not answered my post #511 question to you?
About my comment how a no lynch could have been a possible viable option Day 1 or 2 yet now I want to make sure we lynch someone today? It's simple, I don't think a no lynch at this point helps us at all. The only way a no lynch would have even been a real viable option on Day 2 is if we had lynched scum on Day 1 or scum was vig'd on Night 1.

flubbucket: Wow! I just got to this post.

I really don't like those last two votes.....(trentonlf and Sage103082)

I'm guessing one or both are scum.

Vote: Sage103082
Yes you've caught us, me and Sage are scum buddies busing you. I mean what were we thinking voting you. Let me just grab my stash of donuts and I will follow you to my death.

p.s. Sorry work has been a bear for you, I hope the situation improves for you soon!
avatar
Sage103082: 366-You said- "Not what I would have done as scum, but it does mean I'm not going to be risking my neck trying to block a Dessimu lynch today."

Dess was already lynched the day before and why talk about what you would or wouldnt do as scum? the next post is like you catch your mistake and try to make it logical as you meant you would try to save him today. and you would most likely of risked your neck to do it. Its in complete opposite of not risking your neck.
It is part of my analysis for the NK. Yes, a LAMIST accusation can be leveled at me for talking about how I'd have done things differently, but looking at what scum did to see if anything can be gleaned is worthwhile.

Neck risking: Look at Cristi's thought process from end of Day 1. She outlines how Dessimu should be the D2 lynch if he survives N1. I think she wouldn't have been the only one thinking that, and I think being opposed to such a lynch would put the opposer at risk. This is something I've already mentioned; I mention it again because someone (new) has brought it up again.

avatar
Sage103082: Meda mentions you might be trying to town slip and you throw a vote on her with out much of a reason at all for your vote and why you find her scummy until hyper prompts you to answer why and you also point out you need to give reasons. You most again but mention you need to give your reason. Why not just give the reason instead of keep mentioning you will.
I don't have infinite time, and digging through posts for specifics takes time. I had just recently accused her of not backing up her statements with specifics; seemed only fair that I do the same for my accusations. The second note about me getting back to that was an open admission/statement that "Hey, I haven't forgotten that I still need to do this".

avatar
Sage103082: and still talking about what if dess was not night killed. Moot point as he did not make the night. Seems like we should be talking about who is scum and not who we know for sure is not as they are no longer alive.
A different person asked for clarification on the same subject, so I clarified again.

Lift questioned me.
Hyper questioned me.
Flub questioned me.
Cristi questioned me.

Considering how many people asked me about (roughly) the same topic, are you surprised I kept covering the same ground?

avatar
Sage103082: post 450- Finally get to reasons on your vote. Your last line in the post says the meda has a list and is sticking to it and not letting anything but flips change it. I found this to be not true. She seems to change her list and how people fall on it. Maybe she is not putting lists directly out there but she is talking about who and what she finds scummy and people seem to move and change locations as the game progresses
Look at who her scum and town reads are. Look at when they change from one side to the other.

I'll concede that her list isn't perfectly static, but some names have remained unmoved for nearly the entire game.

avatar
Sage103082: post 476 You say - "Naw, I was thinking of giving you at least through N3. You're too town and active to not be an attractive NK target. "

I dont like this sentence at all.
*shrug* The first half was basically a joke (thus the "Naw"). The second half was more serious, and will not surprise most people.

avatar
Sage103082: post 499- again what you would do as scum.
Lift came back to talk about it some more. I responded to his question.

avatar
Sage103082: post 515 - talking about scum again but it is in response to hyper asking about your post earlier so this doesn't play much into things that raise my eye but it is another what would I do if I was scum.
As you point out, Hyper came back to ask about it some more, so I responded to his questions.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Could you lay out why you decided that Bookwyrm627 is town back then?
Missed this question from you on my first pass through,

Post 366

A scum Bookwyrm is not making that post IMO.
@dedo - I am in favor of the deadline shift.

Going to state the most obvious first:

Don't see Trent/Lift as scum buddies
Don't see RW/Bookwyrm as scum buddies
Don't see Sage/Bookwyrm as scum buddies

I have a hard time believing the first two were an act and I don't think Sage makes this type of post on her buddy.

Thoughts on players next.

RWarehall: ...
I forgot to tag you in my last question to you. So I'll repeat it with a tag so that you don't miss it when you're online again: Why didn't you vote on the end of Day 1? You were the only one who didn't try to avoid a no-lynch by casting a vote.
avatar
Bookwyrm627: snip
I love the way you have decided to attack me directly. Wonder if this has anything to do with Flub getting close to a lynch...

Seeing you and now Lift try to discredit me as the Flub lynch is gaining momentum wouldn't be scum trying to derail a scum lynch train, would it?

I don't think the timing of this is a coincidence...

Nice, you characterize my presence end of day as waffling...
Where were you? What was your end of day contribution?
Oh right, you decided which WAGON you liked best to join (your words). And now Day 2 you posted how you really didn't like either of them, so "Don't blame me, not my fault".

But let me tell you what really happened.
It became clear there was no movement toward Yogs. It was 2 am. With the deadline at 6, I severely questioned whether anyone else would show before deadline. So I caved in and voted Dess, putting him at L-1 for the sake of consensus. Didn't see this scumminess the others seemed to see, but it's a day 1 read. Nothing stuck out. Better to gain information than not. Then he claimed. Trent removed his vote. I removed my vote. Trent returned his vote and Yogs, Meda and Trent talked about how they didn't believe him and they made it clear they didn't want to vote Yogs. I could see why they suspected Dess could be lying, I asked a few questions, tried to read reactions, but have you ever been in a room with a few of your friends and you know there is a subject they all agree on and you don't (like politics)? Well, Yogs and Meda and Trent all wanted Dess dead. They were the only people on. I didn't see the point trying to convince them.

I did suggest how bad it would be if Dess was really the cop and was lynched. I did suggest that maybe a no-lynch might be better than killing a claimed cop. And I didn't vote him and leave him dangling at L-1. But I guess that was "just waffling"...

@Lift in response to post 532:
Book made a good point? Really?

I set my alarm to 5:45 and left my computer on. I got up. Made a quick post saying I was there. Didn't have a chance to read anything yet. And when my post posted, Meda had voted. I do a quick read, see lynch has been achieved but before being able to say anything again (you know 10 minutes and all and none of you bumped for me), Dedo closed the day.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: I don't know exactly how many times he's been scum, probably in the very low one-digit numbers, and quite certainly a lot less than the times he's been town. And this behaviour of his, when town, has been discussed ad nauseam, most recently after the last game, a discussion you were a big part of, from what I remember. Which in turn makes me unsure if you actually don't associate it with town-him, or only said so because making the drealmer7 reference at the end of your 'here's why I don't think medamiedo is town" post really doesn't add up with the rest.
The only two times he's been scum that come to mind are Lift's all-scum game and Bler's smurf game. The all-scum game was distinctly special circumstances, and (double checking) Drealmer was lynched < 20 posts into Day 2 (after a D1 No Lynch) and he was nailed for an obvious claim lie.

I don't have much frame of reference for his actual scum game. As such, I don't assign his tunnel to just town drealmer, because there really hasn't been much chance for me to see whether scum drealmer does it or not.

Pre-post edit: Turns out he was mafia in Agent's lovers game. I was assistant mod, and I don't remember much about it.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: And Sage102082's comment (post #528) on your post #450 rings valid, and I'll do a re-read on medamiedo to see for myself.

Additionally, you QFT her post #489 "My reads are all over the place" (post #504), while earlier (post #450) you said that her "My scumreads have been pretty consistent for most of the game so far" (post #435) is fairly true, which all reads as a bit contradictory, making it hard(er) to understand what your stand on the matter is actually.
As with Sage, see how often Meda has changed her mind on who is town and who is scum. The most prominent name, for me at least, is my own. I have not moved from her scum list since I first showed up there early on; that read has been very consistent. Without going back and double checking, I believe her Lift read has been very consistently Town. I have noticed that RW got moved from favorite choice for scum over to town, starting around the End of Day 1.

I'll eat my words on the QFT. I couldn't resist the jab and I've developed a fondness for using "QFT".

HypersomniacLive: [emphasis added]

Oh Bookwyrm627, was my gut right back then? Care to explain why you were trying to build a wagon on me right out of the gate on D1?
You were simply the first person to get a vote. Jumping on the first/biggest wagon going is one of my "Break RVS" methods, though apparently the only other time I've employed (a variation of) it was in Bler's hospital game, and that one had some rather extenuating circumstances backing the play.

I'm pretty sure I've done something similar in another game, but boop me if I can find it.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: As for the rest, you missed a VC in post #92, and medamiedo pretending to unvote RWarehall and voting Dessimu in post #211.
Pretend I edited those catches in. Just don't tell Dedo.
avatar
RWarehall: But let me tell you what really happened.
It became clear there was no movement toward Yogs. It was 2 am. With the deadline at 6, I severely questioned whether anyone else would show before deadline.

Better to gain information than not. Then he claimed. Trent removed his vote. I removed my vote.
...and didn't put it back on yogs. Although you say you would have preferred his lynch. At this point you could have done that easily and that is the point I don't understand - it doesn't make sense no matter whether you are town or scum (scum could have easily hopped back to the other mislynch - yogs). So why did you prefer to leave your vote unplaced instead of re-placing it on yogs?
avatar
RWarehall: I find him generally floating. I know, it not that unusual for him, but...
I just get the feeling he was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Yes, a lot of it is the fact he didn't post the last day.

............<snip>...........
avatar
flubbucket: I was quite satisfied with the outcome?!?!?

This horseshit is based on what??
Poorly phrased. I guess I should have said you seemed quite satisfied with the state of the game at the time...
Let's just say maybe my suspicion of you might have slipped into my typing...

I do find it very "convenient" that a few players seem to be going after me, just as you have gained quite a few votes...
Probably completely unrelated and probably not intended to take pressure off you at all...

@Hyper re:536 You seem to be reading it correctly. I am accusing Bookwyrm of providing cover for at least one of those who look bad by being AWOL the entire last day.

And thank you for clarifying the time zones. Somehow I got the 5-6 hour difference backwards and you and Meda were up until Midnight/1 am. Still bonus points from me for attending at deadline, just certainly not as many...

I was getting slightly worried about this Flub lynch when I saw Trent joined Meda on the lynch train, but with Book and Lift really trying to push me with it gaining steam, I'm rather convinced now, I might be on the correct track.
(I'm a little proud of myself for putting together all those train references! Joy to small things!)

@Lift last post: I said it a couple times. I thought it was a bad idea leaving anyone at L-1 overnight. It leaves it too open for scum to roll in and mislynch him if I was wrong. Even though I was generally town reading Dess that day, the timing of his claim coupled with his immediately leaving gave me some of doubt. I didn't want to leave it up to some scum to vote or ignore it at their whim with little explanation. If I wasn't planning to wake up before deadline, I would have probably had to though. That and the Yogs of that night was sounding more like the town Yogs I had been looking for. Of course he didn't start to sound like town Yogs to me until he hit L-2, so there was that...
avatar
RWarehall: I love the way you have decided to attack me directly. Wonder if this has anything to do with Flub getting close to a lynch...

Seeing you and now Lift try to discredit me as the Flub lynch is gaining momentum wouldn't be scum trying to derail a scum lynch train, would it?

I don't think the timing of this is a coincidence...
A distraction from my points.

And if Flub somehow flips town, what conclusions do you draw from it?

avatar
RWarehall: Nice, you characterize my presence end of day as waffling...
Where were you? What was your end of day contribution?
Another distraction from my points.

I was sleeping. I made my contributions, such as they were, before end of day.

avatar
RWarehall: And now Day 2 you posted how you really didn't like either of them, so "Don't blame me, not my fault".
Citation needed. Where did I say something like this?

avatar
RWarehall: Well, Yogs and Meda and Trent all wanted Dess dead. They were the only people on. I didn't see the point trying to convince them.
The evidence does not show you making a stand either way on the claim.

avatar
RWarehall: I did suggest how bad it would be if Dess was really the cop and was lynched. I did suggest that maybe a no-lynch might be better than killing a claimed cop. And I didn't vote him and leave him dangling at L-1. But I guess that was "just waffling"...
Yes, you pointed out that town really shouldn't be lynching town power roles. With the vague possible exception of Meda (if she comes from some really screwed up site), this is a well known idea to literally every person in this game.

Yes, you asked whether no lynch might be better, and you promptly dropped that line of inquiry after that post. Kind of interesting that you might suggest No Lynch after this post.

Yes, you removed your vote, and then never put it back anywhere. You didn't suggest going to anyone else, you didn't put it on Yog to make avoiding a lynch of the PR claim easier, and you didn't even say whether you personally believed the claim or not. As you've said, scum would have been happy with either lynch, and someone else (Yog, I believe) has noted that scum would be happy with a No Lynch in this double NK game (though mislynches are nicer).
avatar
Bookwyrm627: snip.
What points? You really don't have any points...
You seem to be throwing mud at the wall.

Read my God damn responses instead of ignoring and skewing everytrhing.

Great shitposting...
I love the way you just happen to point out how I was the one who put Dess at L-1 forcing his claim with your link...
Yup, that was me. I went against my read to achieve a lynch over what was looking like a stalemate.

And now you try again to twist my talk of No-Lynch into something it wasn't.
Specifically, I was suggesting that No-Lynch might be superior to killing a claimed PR.
Not that I supported No-Lynch in general. And what was the point of continuing the discussion about it when both Trent and Yogs left and only Meda was on.

Nice mudflinging. Try to discredit me harder...

I think you are just proving how you are not carefully reading anything and faking it, looking for any avenue to attack me.
And why is that? Wonder what the vote count looks like?
When I went to bed, I left the idea out there that it might be a better idea to no-lynch than to lynch Dess. What did you do Book? Oh right? You were sleeping...you don't like what I did? Well what were you doing that was better?

And you know what? Even though deadline was less than 4 hours away, I woke up to be there if needed while you were asleep in your cozy bed. Oh yeah, you "conveniently" claim you arrived just after lynch but with 90 seconds to spare... You talk of how you switched to Dess as the better "wagon" of the two just to help focus for town. You point out how you wouldn't double-tap Dessimu but would rather kill two other townies. I guess we all should just believe you since scum double-tapped, it can't possibly be you right? You claim how Meda has been focused on the same players all game and then talk about how she has been all over the place. Can you get your facts straight? Or are you so focused on guiding all commentary to your point of view while making sure that you discredit anyone who suspects you or your scum buddies....
avatar
RWarehall: I guess we all should just believe you since scum double-tapped
Fact or speculation?
avatar
medamiedo: [...] Just like Dessimu's strongest scumread was trent. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Can you point out what you take as "Dessimu's strongest scumread was trent"? I read puzzlement and frustration in his comments about trentonlf, but don't take any of it as him being his strongest scum-read.
Haven't gone back to check at all but iirc Dessimu talked most about trent's behavior being weird, having checked him as his best read on the table, and how that behavior didn't add up.


avatar
medamiedo: [...] make Hyper look good. Tell me if I'm misreading you here Hyper but your posting is pinging my gut so hard right now and I don't like you one bit. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: You don't have to like me, if you're town and really don't understand what I'm doing. It's a different matter altogether, if you're scum, however.

A line of questioning doesn't always mean that he value lies solely in direct answers if given, or that said answers are expected in the first place, often the reaction to it can, and is, quite telling. You may not see its purpose because it apparently doesn't fit within your frame of how town goes about questioning and sorting things and others, and tend to read everything that deviates from it as a scum-tell and feel pretty strong about it, but you might want to keep in mind that your frame may not be the only one, or even a universally embraced one. If you're actually town, that is.
Don't like (for town). Anyway I don't think that's an accurate representation of my play? Have no issues to speak of with your playstyle at all or anyone's here!



avatar
medamiedo: [...] Not how town inquires about such a statement. No trajectory to this. I don't see any actual doubt about my alignment here, no sense of paranoia at all, this is simply dealing in empty logic and argumentation. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: This is a good example. You seem to think that just because I don't jump all over people screaming "murder" when something raises my eyebrow, I can't be town. That's not exactly my style, and I can't help you if it clashes with how you expect every single town-player to carry themselves in order for you to clear them. Again, if you're town, otherwise you're just throwing shade my way to look good yourself.

I don't think I've seen anyone before self-proclaim "I'm obvitown", at least not in the tone I read in your post. You exhibit an overly cocky confidence, and somewhat of an expectation we follow your lead, and since I haven't played with you before, I'm not sure what to make of it yet - is it a genuine character trait that manifests itself in the way you play as town, or part of a play-style you've developed and use as either alignment to cover behind when scum? That's not actually a question to you, but you're free to answer it, if you feel inclined enough.
Um I dunno I just know when I'm obvtown and when I'm not I think. I guess I feel totally out of my element on this site and so I may overstate myself a bunch out of confusion? I've also felt really rushed which might not help. Not really sure where you're reading the cockiness sorry. As scum I play to what the game needs. First of all as scum I obvtown (like I am here but it would be way more because I don't really have the will to gamesolve atm so if I were scum I could be goodposting all over the place but I just feel stifled), which is probably why I've never been lynched (never been lynched as either alignment), second of all I play really pro-town in a kind of surgical way and just mislead town. So no this isn't my scumplay at all.



avatar
medamiedo: [...] Couldn't care less what lens you look at my actions from unless it's a scum one. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: And another one.You overlook that, with the exception of scum, we don't know your alignment, yet you expect us to have already put you in the town-group just because you think you're obvitown in everyone else's eyes, and not only dismiss, in a somewhat contemptuous manner, any arguments by others stating reservations about you, but take them as scum-tells - "no town would ever doubt or scum-read me"; it doesn't work like that. Others' approach and thought process(es) may well differ from yours; expecting other townies to see your play in the exact way you do is not reasonable, imo, even less so since you're new to us and could well be scum trying to lead us to a mislynch.
Wow I'm so sorry if I've come across contemptuous, I don't know how that happened sorry. Am still not really sure what you're talking about wrt expecting other ppl to play a certain way sorry. Anyway maybe you're just scum trying to discredit me so I dunno how to take this.



avatar
medamiedo: [...] he backed off only temporarily in a manner that looked more like he was reading the room than anything and then gladly put his vote back again seemingly without caring much, and he's since stated that he didn't think that yogs was ccing which makes his play extremely anti-town. You simply do not attempt to lynch uncced prs like that. Period. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: [emphasis added]

I see that you've warmed up to trentonlf in the meantime, but imo, the bits I highlighted demonstrate how binary you approach others' play, and with strong conviction at that.

Yes, at first read, his actions looked bad. I could have easily just be on his case like you did, and later go "oh no, you may well be town after all", like you did. But I chose to question him, and keep questioning him to form an opinion on "as what alignment did he act the way he did?", and his arguments and reaction would help me in that. And his reaction is one I can see coming from a town-trentonlf more than the opposite.

It's the same reason I question you and others. It may not be the way you operate, and that's fine, if you're town, but you seem to expect everyone to operate the way you do, lest they be labelled scum, and I don't think that's actually helpful to town.
K I dunno why you keep saying this same thing? Am I really being intolerant of how other ppl are playing? Someone tell me if I'm being gaslit here?



avatar
medamiedo: [...] "I am voting yogs. Here is why I am voting yogs. Look at me voting for this wagon." [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: I don't agree, obviously, and have explained my vote, but you are, of course, entitled to your own opinion. Just try to remember that it's your opinion.

And speaking of opinions, two questions:
- What makes you so sure about flubbucket?
- What in Bookwyrm627's post #450 makes you say he's calling you town?
Cause he was active lurking and he's done nothing and now that he's getting wagoned he comes out. It's survivalistic scum behavior. And wrt 450 far as I remember he listed several weak reasons that were worst case a nulltown read from how I read it, waffled, never called me scum, gave no solid reasons for thinking I'm scum. It was the kind of really weak thing I see when scum try to make a case on an obvtown slot and just can't come up with anything.


Anyway sorry I don't have more time for this, I feel badly but I feel totally out of this game. I think that Flubb is scum and I've looked at rware's posts on this page and it feels strongly like townposting to me so if Lift and rware agree on something else I'll follow that too.
