You know what would be nice?
A brief summary of suspicions and reasons at the end of the day from everyone +_+

For example for me:

1. JoeSapphire - low partecipation.
2. catte - low partecipation.
3. Lifthrasil - imo not completely sincere with some replies to dedoporno, but nothing major.
4. trentonlf - likes killing players.. but could still be a crazy townie lol. Average partecipation, no idea.
5. GymHenson - warned everyone about Microfish's code. It seems a weak move to be scum?
7. nmillar - low partecipation.
8. Microfish - alleged code attempt, but counterproductive to be scum.
9¾. dedoporno - insinuated that Lifthrasil could be scum in a weird way. Metagaming or scummy accusations?
10. gogtrial - suspected scum by me for causing arguments, but maybe it's a town tactic. Btw, he focused mostly on trent for some reason and didn't say much about others.
11. Vitek - average partecipation, no idea.
12. blotunga - low partecipation.

Maybe I'll remove my vote and jump on some wagon (since everyone said it's better to lynch), but we'll see..

Microfish_1: I think it unusual for Catte to not respond at all. He did mention being in a bad mood the one day (i think due to IRL?) and setting the game aside, but there have been several days since then.

@catte please comment about this matter. Are you scum? this line is not a vote.
Catte's lack of response could be them just being busy or in a "slump" irl just as easily as them being scum.

That said, I don't believe they've replied to me or about me even once during this game....whereas in the prior game they replied a good amount more about/to me.

avatar
Microfish_1: Webdings is notoriously hard to read and I don't know if GOG could interpret it.
Oh that was just a joke.....in part about how wacky and hard to read webdings is, and about how "loved" comic sans is(by people online, I mean).

avatar
Microfish_1: Maybe I was trying too hard to find something to pick apart, but I'd almost rather try too hard than not try at all. I honestly thought I had something for a moment. :-(
Lovin yer fluff and efforts to try and find scum myself, fwiw. :)

avatar
Microfish_1: Maybe Catte is a better choice for NL, as GH seems to try to imply. Maybe I should switch from my focus on gogtrial to catte. I don't know. Atanyrate it is not and never was a "gogtrial is my 1st choice" thing.
Eh, to be totally honest & open: my initial suspicions on Catte were(and somewhat still are) weak.....I just joke voted them initially.....it's their lack of response what has made me start to actually suspect them(if just a bit).

avatar
Microfish_1: GN all for reals this time
Tata till later *waves*

(Bump needed maybe)
avatar
GymHenson: (Bump needed maybe)
bump
(Thanks...though I didn't end up needing one as I had to do something IRL...need one now, though)

++++++++++

avatar
phaolo: JoeSapphire and blotunga even less tho (did you forget about them or..?)
No, it's just that I was asking(with that one point/question) about the two on my suspicion list. I "asked" about everyone else a bit later on, though.

Btw to clarify: Catte and Nmilar are on my sadly short list of suspects for reasons other than their amount of posting: NMillar is mostly on the list for jumping off the Catte wagon with only two people on it(me and Nmillar) at the time they did so, and Catte is there for not once replying to my vote on them(or much of all that i've said, really).

+++++++++++

(Bump Please)
bump (please bump)
Thanks

my name is magike catte: Wait what? Is this about GH's RVS vote? I couldn't think of anything funny to respond with at the time and given that it's an RVS vote it didn't really occur to me that it needed addressing since.
Tbth it didn't....but by not replying even with a short reply of some sort it caused me to focus on you more than others. Also with hardly any replies from you to or re: me it seemed like you were scum "hiding" from me.

(Bump maybe need...again...trying to make sure every player I reply to today gets a ping, ya see)
avatar
Microfish_1: 3. Giving a good talk to a new player about mechanics does not a good town-player make.
avatar
phaolo: Eh true.
Oh well, at least his explanations were helpful. ;)
(and noone disagreed about the info)

avatar
Microfish_1: Thank you for your thoughts and answer.
avatar
phaolo: Uh.. you messed up this quote, that was Catte.
True. :-D
Sorry about that!
avatar
nmillar: all of it
If I had been so lucky as to draw scum, and if you think that gogtrial was also scum, do you think that we would be arguing over and around each other like this, making such a big production out of nothing? This seems like you are going for the low-hanging fruit here?

Groans. No role PM discussion please.You haven't yet, but please don't.

++++++

avatar
Vitek: Phaolo vote is leftover, I have no intent to lunch him (right now).
I think I would be willing to lunch Lift until there is good explanation for his actions.
Then why not unvote and vote someone you want to vote?

avatar
Vitek: I am currently most interested in trent because I still find his statement off, even more considering you never were proper mafia and it feels like he is avoiding explaining it a bit.
Then it would be Joe who seems to be very off his game and acted bit jumpy so far but it is hard to get better read tehre as he seems to be very busy outside the game and it could possibly be used as excuse for his behaviour.
Lift would be my number 3 ATM I think.

As for Micro, do you feel like he is making over attempts to lunch you? I see him arguing him with you and it could be said you both are investing similar energy in it so maybe you are the one making overt attempts toget wagon going on him. ;-) (are you?)
So far I find Micro arguing with you to be similar to way he did in #67, my only experience with him and he tended to get too invested in his arguments there as well and to be contrarian to himself so I am bit wary of calling him scummy for it as there it was useful to our mafia team and it is possible it is same here. I can't deny I find some of his point a bit doubtful though (stating how you are likely wagon and later backign off).
Ouch. True, but ouch. Yeah, I do tend to like to win an argument, even if my logic stinks.
What i said (paraphrased) was that there seemed to be a majority pool of people who doubted gogtrial, and I didn't see this happening to others. Hopefully I haven't been played by scum :/

Oh. Thank you.

gogtrial34987: I can't figure out if that's just his playstyle growing, with some OMGUS-feeling from me due to being the target, or something more nefarious...he went straight on to bringing up "the consensus"
I've been trying to grow my playstyle. That it seems different is perhaps a good thing, from a game where I was so awful and pro-scum (as town)? Similarly, some of what got me set up against you was an omgus reaction to your early question which you later mostly explained away.

Re consensus Phaolo is voting you. Blotunga in 148 expressed what i saw as doubt. Joe questioned him (part of what made Joe look bad, yes, but it was there). Lift in 133 mentions you being the 4th vote on Joe, which I misremembered when I was thinking about this. Vitek wondered if you were scum in 119.

So yeah, rereading people's impressions of you a) I grossly misremembered, thought you did say you weren't used to not being town-read or some such, b) there never was a consensus, but more of a handful of people questioning you, of whom Joe is probably scum and should be removed from the equation. Some people are doubting lift the one time when I thought he might lean town, so this might mean that my lift-dar should be inverted. This leaves Blot, Vitek, Phaolo, and myself, who have expressed some interest at some point and I have been shown to (and now realize that I) have bad logic.
That leaves Blot, Vitek, and Phaolo, who do not a consensus make. At risk of contradicting myself again, it seems that i really should go with research instead of gut feeling based on impressions from memory. :(

gogtrial34987: I think you took the wrong lesson from mafia #66 (which I assume is where this comes from).
Making a big performance out of "claiming town", completely without context (you, mafia #66, post #135, will get you a lot of scrutiny. Acknowledging that I'm not seen by everyone as town, as a result of an action I took (me, this game, post #98) - or responding to a newbie without context asking if I was trying to be seen as town (me, mafia #67, post #84) gets much less. We even had a discussion about this in #67. Context is everything, but more, what I'm doing is acknowledging explicitly that my usual play style gets me seen as scumhunting, and thus town, which might not always be warranted.
You are correct about the game. I got burned badly at that point.
Ah, I see what you mean about context. I guess I had been using a one-size-fits-all approach and I should know better. To rephrase to make sure I understand your point, it isn't as much what is said so much as the way and the context of what is said?
TBH, with IRL being extremely stressful these last months (since mid-july), I have forgotten many of the details of previous games. This isn't said as an excuse, but just as a comment.

avatar
gogtrial34987: So, consider the question answered: trent does not support his fellow scum.
Does that make you nervous?
Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
No, it does not in the slightest make me nervous. Why should it? I'm not scum and if he doesn't go out of his way to back up his teammates, it doesn't matter to me personally in this game. What it does tell me is that he is not backing you because of your being on the scum-team together.

Well, I guess after doing a re-skim of what I thought were the salient points, I need to (oh, how I hate to give up my theory, once adopted!)
un-FOS gogtrial (this line is not a vote).
There just isn't enough evidence at present against him, and what there seems to amounts to the proverbial hill of beans, so why am I letting myself be distracted by an argument with someone who is -- based on his actions and words thus far -- trending more likely than not to be non-scum?

Lifthrasil: Hi there. Finally some net. I'm very busy during the weekend again. I'll try to reply tonight.
You mean you found some things to share with the rest of us re: possible scum(the net comment)?

Also when you do get up, if you could answer the things in post 221 i'd appreciate it. :)

+++++++++

(Need one more bump, to reply once more, then i'm done with replies....and bumps....for the time being)

bump but too late
@Micro: Thanks anyways. :)
(Also note I replied to you above....but also note that I didn't see Catte's post on the vote I made till after I posted that reply to you)

phaolo: You know what would be nice?
A brief summary of suspicions and reasons at the end of the day from everyone +_+
Good idea, so i'll give it a shot re your list of names with how I lean each player:

avatar
phaolo: 1. JoeSapphire - low partecipation.
Joe is neutral to me atm

To me I focus less on lurky players, due to how I scum hunt, so it's hard for me to read such players.

avatar
phaolo: 2. catte - low partecipation.
Catte is neutral with a slight scum lean atm.

Yes, they gave a somewhat decent reason for not replying to my vote on them, but that doesn't fully explain why they haven't replied much to or about me at all this game.

avatar
phaolo: 3. Lifthrasil - imo not completely sincere with some replies to dedoporno, but nothing major.
Leaning Lift "no idea", as I haven't focused much on them...yet.

avatar
phaolo: 4. trentonlf - likes killing players.. but could still be a crazy townie lol. Average partecipation, no idea.
Trent is like Lift in that I lean them "no idea" atm.

avatar
phaolo: 5. GymHenson - warned everyone about Microfish's code. It seems a weak move to be scum?
I lean myself town...though that obviously should be taken with a grain of salt.

avatar
phaolo: 7. nmillar - low partecipation.
Lean slightly more towards scum than town atm.

Due to their rushed unvote of catte, and a few other factors/reasons.

avatar
phaolo: 8. Microfish - alleged code attempt, but counterproductive to be scum.
Lean Micro "wut?" atm....i.e. neutral/no idea.

Due to several odd post bits(not just that code one) that they've made so far....and though they could be nothing, they still make me wonder(if just a bit) on which way they lean.

avatar
phaolo: 9¾. dedoporno - insinuated that Lifthrasil could be scum in a weird way. Metagaming or scummy accusations?
Also lean them "no idea" atm.

avatar
phaolo: 10. gogtrial - suspected scum by me for causing arguments, but maybe it's a town tactic. Btw, he focused mostly on trent for some reason and didn't say much about others.
Also lean them neutral/no idea atm.

avatar
phaolo: 11. Vitek - average partecipation, no idea.
Same lean as dedo and gogtrial.

avatar
phaolo: 12. blotunga - low partecipation.
Posted little, but again....same lean as dedo/vitek/gogtrial.

avatar
phaolo: Phaolo
I lean you slightly town atm, due to your asking questions like this.

++++

(Done for now....unless anyone has comments or questions or replies to what I posted today)
avatar
GymHenson: Good idea, so i'll give it a shot re your list of names with how I lean each player:
Nice but.. quoting each line seems a PITA.
Next time just copy the player list from page1 and add your comments directly :P
avatar
phaolo: Nice but.. quoting each line seems a PITA.
Next time just copy the player list from page1 and add your comments directly :P
But that would be too easy for me to do. Gotta keep my posting-fu skills on point. ;)

(Jokes aside, I will remember that for the next time someone asks me to reply to such a list)
avatar
dedoporno: If you weren't assuming I was asking gogtrial about the times he was mafia previously in order to correlate that with the odds of him being scum this time what was the purpose of lines 1 through 3? If that wasn't the reason you thought I was asking for you could have simply asked the question on line 5 (although that would have been somewhat impolite as it didn't really concern you at that moment but never mind that). Yet you made an effort two write 3 sentences that absolutely feel like you were lecturing me preemptively about the traps of basing an argument on statistical fallacies. Line 4's purpose to me is to serve as an excuse for bringing up 1-3 without a proper reason to do so.
No. I was illustrating why your question looked weird to me and why I was asking my question. Asking for previous alignments is pointless. I could also have worded my question like this: "You know that your question is pointless. So why ask?"
The rest was just an explanation why I think your question pointless.

It's funny, that you manage to misunderstand me such. Because usually we think very much alike. At least when we're both town or when you're town and i am scum. So I wonder, whether you wanted to misunderstand me this time.


More to the others later.
Joe has let me know he has IRL issues. I'll let you know whether he can continue. If necessary the Day end might be extended because of this.
avatar
Lifthrasil: It's also interesting that you rate Joe as scummy.
avatar
blotunga: Maybe this time he is really scum? :D
You're voting nmillar. Does the above mean you believe Joe to be scum, and are willing to vote him? How do you feel about trent at this point?

Also, any thoughts on the dedo+Vitek vs Lift back-and-forth?
