100YrsofAttitude posted:Poison mushroom, I know not much has really changed, but what made you so set on lamp? You still feel that way? At the last minute, he said he'd rather no-lynch than lynch Maltose, but he said nothing of the sort before, and said earlier that D1 lynches are essentially random. This doesn't match up in my mind. For me, it reads like distancing from a known town lynch. In conclusion, ##vote Lampsacus

First up, thanks for basically the first serious post of the day.100YrsofAttitude posted:First serious post he makes is a defensive, "ugh I'm ALWAYS suspicious guys." It seems like a weak defense especially when he was under absolutely no pressure, just kitiara's gut. Kitiara does bring up how he's just content-posting rather than making any strong claims. A game he keeps up. For perspective I've not played any serious games in 6 months, and this week I've played three games where I turned out to be town, but have been flagged as suspicious / scum on Day 1 for no real reason. It's weird to me and I can't figure out what it is about the way I post that gets me flagged super high on the scumdar straight from the firing line. quote:What most gets me his he's the one to first advocate the no-lynch. Lynching is our ONLY tool to win this game. If we don't lynch we don't get scum. Mis-lynching is the terrible risk but we really can't afford not to lynch and for me no-lynch advocating is scummy through and through. What's worse is his final vote on Maltose. Disagree - Mislynching on Day 1 (assuming Scum chooses to kill on N1), in a game with 9 players makes the game dramatically easier for scum to win by cutting us down to 2/3 of our starting roster. A mislynch is essentially going to make the game a lot easier for the kill. quote:Distancing himself already from his vote in case it goes sour (in which case Maltose is proved town and tithin get's credit for having the right assumption). I distanced myself from my vote because I didn't like doing it, and I've stated why both in this post and in previous ones. The only reason I went with it is due to Maltose's push to try and get at least some sort of lynch (using the same logic you yourself applied above, that any lynch is better than no lynch). My plays are defensive because I frequently find myself under attack in the last few games I've played, so that's possibly carried forward. Sorry.

100YrsofAttitude posted:His play is just so defensive because, I think, he's got something to hide. The overdefensive "ugh, someone always thinks I'm scummy" reminds me of what I used to say when I was new to Mafia. But he's been in over a dozen games, now, counting this one, so that doesn't really fly any more. Would vote tithin.

tithin posted:Pmush you've been in every one of those games I'm referring to - you know what I'm talking about If you're tired of people thinking you're scummy, complaining about it is the last thing you want to do. Instead, look at what kinds of things during the early days actually help town, and which things don't get criticized. That'll improve both your town game (because you know what helps), and your scum game (because you know how to fake what helps). Anyways, I feel bad for you, but overdefensiveness is still usually a sign of scum.

Talking about who to lynch, getting conversation going, and then rereading everyone's comments in the context of the flip is the easiest way to start getting actual content to evaluate. I didn't hammer because I'm fairly certain Mr. Maltose is town, but the push for whether to lynch him or not at least got people talking. More posts means more to evaluate later on, and more information for town. Trying to shut up that conversation, and contributing nothing to it, is anti-town.

Depends on the game. I don't think I'm alone when I say nobody stood out as scummy. Poor posting. Hell, the mod called us out on it just now. Anyway, I'm not going to omgus vote you back pm because you seem legit so far. So does tithin actually. I'll have another read and try read between lines.

Poison Mushroom posted:It was pretty much a random lynch. But that's not the issue. The issue is that you've been, up until right now, completely avoiding any conversation with depth beyond "I don't like this lynch". I like your arguments and frankly your involvement. Lamp hasn't been all there. You've got what seems to me mainly a meta argument but lined up with his actual comments it seems pretty fair because Lamp's actually not trying to rectify your critiques but just defending himself. As for tithin I feel for you. In light of your recent spate of town games where you get called out I think that at least explains that comment. I still don't agree with you on the mis-lynching but there you go. Make a case, I'm by no means 100% sold on my vote on you as of yet because frankly I find everyone but poison mushroom to be still somewhat scummy. Goodness is... ok. I'm not sure what to think about goodness? What your takes on them?

Pinterest Mom posted:i forgot about deadline yesterday sorry Also not to be a dick but come on. It's not so big a deal that you forgot deadline, I ended up falling asleep, but barely posted at all D1 and when you do post D2 all you saw fit to say was that? You're a complete non-entity and it's bothersome because I can hardly consider as friend or foe though by nature of the game you have to be one or the other. This isn't so much as suspicious as it is frustrating but your non-action isn't helping anyone either. In a similar but more pointed way is kitiara's posts. She claims that tithin is just  posting to seem active though to be fair her own posts aren't much better. My weaker argument is this one: Kitiara posted:I was at work, follow by sleep. I just woke up now. So to answer all questions, I prefer butter on my toast. I don't understand why anyone would like crunchy peanut butter, and if you were scum, how would you answer this question? where she makes just a small extra note to what I had already said. Easy participation. Kitiara posted:We don't really have much information to go on, but out of everyone who has posted I find goodness and tithin the most suspicious. Goodness seems to be voting people randomly and wanting to stop discussion. While tithin seems to only post to not appear MIA without really adding anything at all. I'm also kind of eh on poisoned mushroom, but we'll see. This is worse though. Again slight easy reads but for me most damning is that she never votes. I suppose it's a vote to no lynch, but she could've at least voted her own reads and made the effort to convert people to those targets. But she didn't do that at all. That sort of non-confrontational attitude seems like scum playing it safe, trying to step on no toes while remaining somewhat concealed. I feel it's the weaker of my cases, obviously not helped by the fact that kitiara's posted so little. Still would vote her as well.

It's mainly a difference of opinion, to my mind with small games, a mislynch on day 1 is the difference between winning and losing, and being frank, this is a small game. We gently caress up at the start, we don't have much, if any, breathing room. I think goodness's first official vote was weak, and I think the reason given was weak. I'm also not entirely sure it wasn't a joke, but the fact that there was no later unvote is suspicious because to vote for someone on such weak grounds (  ) is pretty scummy. Unfortunately there's not a lot of other content there that I can read as being scummy or not.

Poison Mushroom posted:This is better. Lamp is difficult for me to read, if I look at it from a "probably scum" perspective, he's flagging relatively high on there for me due to the flip flop vote first on 100, and then later for no vote. The vote could be fake, the reason given could be a joke, but at the same time it could also not - but it's certainly curious that he flipped so quickly from "lynch" to "no lynch", once people started getting behind the functionally random day 1 lynch on <name forgotten cos I'm distracted>. I'm not convinced he's scum, but yeah, he's certainly worth watching. As for you pmush, I'm getting a town vibe from - I haven't done a full read of you (yet), but I haven't noticed anything overtly scummy.

My first "vote" was a joke which is why I made sure it would not even count it on the votefinder. Am I missing a post somewhere? Where exactly is your reason for voting? Because "Who are you to judge when joke phase is over? Seems like you are trying a little too hard to push your agenda instead of just having fun..." is not good enough for me. I'm torn between tithin and goodness, but tithin's later posts at least show some effort. So... Vote## goodness

This may not be the right attitude, but it doesn't make me scum. I don't like lying when playing this game oddly enough to the point that if I'm scum I do my utmost to not type "I am town." I suppose I don't want to be called a bald-faced liar, I don't know it's dumb. The easiest way to go about this I find is just avoid talking about my role in the game as a whole. Anyway, I've noticed that you've brought up your role, particularly your lack of powers twice. Your second post: Kitiara posted:Well it looks like I'm bland yet again and now your latest. It's strange because you don't mention alignment but just lack of powers. I know this isn't killer evidence or anything but I can't help read that you are telling the truth, but at the same time willfully omitting something else, perhaps for the sake of your own conscience as I tend to do, or for whatever other reason. I still don't trust you kitiara. Also, your last vote on goodness, is it done with confidence or have you done it since I called you out on lightly casing + not voting?

I'm honestly starting to find your weird fixation on me to be very suspicious. Are you trying to get me lynch because I am making good arguments on your scummy friends? I honestly thought that my first post was I'm bland town again. So to calm your nerves: I am town. Trust me or not, time will show you I'm telling the truth, while there are a lot more suspicious people here than me. "Also, your last vote on goodness, is it done with confidence or have you done it since I called you out on lightly casing + not voting?" Both to be honest. Apparently random voting is the meta on these sort of games, so I thought I'd change my play. Mostly I'm voting for goodness to see if there's some sort of response on his/her part because up to know we've only really gotten joke 2 line posts.

Tithin's cleared up my thoughts towards them, and I was just saying I wasn't all that convinced about your own innocence. That said I've pointed out a couple times in my posts that a lot of my feelings are based on pretty ridiculous observations and as such they have very little validity to build a case on. I'm not as confident as I was about tithin earlier to want to vote you, which is why I haven't. Going to look at Maltose and Goodness again.

Sorry if that came out really insulting. I should've made more effort to phrase that better. Goodness's post you quoted: goodness posted:I'm trying to see if I can gain any knowledge from the no lynch but eh is it damning for you because he's making no effort? I don't know how I feel about goodness, I guess mainly neutral. He's been irreverent the whole way through, while not always helpful, is at least consistent. That consistency is the only reason I have to not vote him. I'd like to see him make a case.

I'm not getting awfully defensive. I'm quoting the posts that are attacking me and replying to them accordingly. I'm sure people would find it suspicious if I just ignored them (I know I would), so it's a bit of a drat if you do and drat if you don't situation, no? Also, I am doing a lot more than talking about how town I am. I am the one who first made a case about goodness, which is a lot better than: "I like PMom's case. Would still rather lynch Lamp, though." You didn't even try. Plus you are okay with lynching goodness, when you feel stronger for lynching Lamp. Massive redflag to me. Also I'm not building a case on 100years, because I don't have enough to do so. I mostly think he is town, but I find it a bit odd how he was fixated on me, so I brought it up to him to see how he'd reply. I'm not going to start randomly accusing people with no base, not the way I play.

Maltose did really little D1 other than argue the validity of D1 and then... he hasn't done much today. It's as scummy as lack of activity is scummy but I think we're getting enough posts where we can vote with a bit more certainty. I'd still like to see him participate more though especially now that we're in D2, which according to his logic is the day the game gets serious.

You're alright Kitiara, that totally reads like frustrated town, sorry about badgering you. Lamp's another one of those players that I feel are scummy but because he's not really been saying all that much overall. On the flipside I've been feeling pretty good about Mushroom considering their activity. Still the mainly meta case on Lamp doesn't sell me on that lynch. What's stranger is his vote on goodness, which is based on pinterest's case on goodness. The case being this post: goodness posted:I'm trying to see if I can gain any knowledge from the no lynch but eh that strikes me as non-case as you can get personally. At that point you'd just think that mushroom wants action, however they refused to vote Maltose since he's "fairly certain Maltose is town". Mushroom was in the position to hammer but didn't. You refused to jump on the bandwagon once but got on goodness with just as little if not less of a case. Why do you think Maltose is town?
