My gut says Someone Awful is scum. I will try and elaborate tonight when I have time to post. I agree with Foo on being suspicious of AC. Sorry I dont have much time to participate at the moment.

I think this is definitely the point where everyone (Including myself!) needs to start posting more just so we can get a sense of where everyone stands.

##unvote Rarity I'm not convinced but I definitely want to hear more and I don't want that double vote kicking poo poo off too fast. I forgot to take that into account earlier. I still want imgay's thoughts most of all. I think if we give them enough noose, the scum will hang themselves this round.

I hadn't thought too much about AC myself, but I do agree with CF that there's potential for her to be Scum. You've lost me on SA though FV, definitely gonna need a more detailed explanation.

What exactly is the case on Rarity, I'm trying to read their post history through the lens of them being scum but it just isn't clicking for me and I'm not sure why. Like I don't think Rarity is particularly townie either, in complete honesty, so don't read this as a defense, I just seriously can't glean poo poo from Rarity's history and I'm getting frustrated with myself about it

Where I'm at: Town: Corazon Probably Town: Foo, f_v Neutral: Ace, Someone, lowell, apostate Maybe Scum: Cham Definitely Maybe Scum: imgay, Rarity I'm down to vote for Rarity before imgay.

Like, is it all just because Rarity defended Opop and Opop flipped scum? I can see that, it just doesn't feel all that strong to me

Like I don't think Rarity is particularly townie either, in complete honesty, so don't read this as a defense, I just seriously can't glean poo poo from Rarity's history and I'm getting frustrated with myself about it Here's what my thoughts were- -Everyone she's fingered so far has been Confirmed Town except for Chamale (Counting myself, obviously) -Tried to get people to back off voting Opop on D1 (Who was confirmed Scum) -Has defended imgay and in her trustworthiness chart placed him as "Confirmed Town", despite there being no evidence backing up imgay's claims of being a town-aligned cop. -As soon as suspicion turned on her on D3 she claimed that she had a powerful role she didn't want to reveal, which sounds a hell of a lot like a bluff from my position. As of now, I'm somewhat sure that imgay and Rarity are Scum, and are trying to cover for each other. imgay claiming to be a cop and saying he targeted Rarity makes sense in that context-he's trying to clear her of suspicions while trying to mislead town. Is it guaranteed? No, obviously. Does it clear other players of being scum? No. But that's the read I have on the situation, and so far I'm pretty sure of it.

It's more that through it all Rarity has pointed at everyone else as scum, only ended up voting for Kash and avoided voting opop.

Chamale posted:I have flavour-invoking and non-flavour-invoking arguments to show that Rarity is scum and I am not. ##unvote This whole part of your case is a disaster. I can't believe you're tunnelling in on a flavour argument, you have no idea how tempted I am to get a mass flavour claim going just to prove you wrong. The one upside to this is that it's so idiotic I can't see a scum trying to stick to their guns on this so congrats, I'm convinced you're town! Chamale posted:Next, my argument based on behaviour. I was fighting with Lumpen early on, so me killing him Day 1 would be too obvious, so the real scum killed him in an attempt to frame me. I may be a total amateur at Internet Mafia but I've played the card game enough times to know that. Meanwhile Rarity is trying to make multiple other people look bad by accusing them of trying to chain lynch, just for speculating about who is Mafia: Yes, I'm trying to catch scum. What are we supposed to do here? Sit around and offer people hugs and cookies until scum NK us? Chamale posted:On that second post, Rarity was calling Acebuckeye scum because he wanted to lynch Opop, who turned out to be scum, instead of Hiipfire, who turned out to be the serial killer. This is all completely fair. I read Opop wrong, mea culpa.

Acebuckeye13 posted:-Everyone she's fingered so far has been Confirmed Town except for Chamale (Counting myself, obviously) You keep saying this but you realise you're only actually talking about Lumpen and Kash, right? And I was far from the only person to suspect them. Acebuckeye13 posted:-Has defended imgay and in her trustworthiness chart placed him as "Confirmed Town", despite there being no evidence backing up imgay's claims of being a town-aligned cop. I'm not going to doubt an uncountered cop claim this early in the game.

Is it guaranteed? No, obviously. Does it clear other players of being scum? No. But that's the read I have on the situation, and so far I'm pretty sure of it. Basing alignment reads on unknown flips is bad mafia play. I know it's easy to get locked on to an opinion and extrapolate from there but I've been wrong cause of that so many times and all it does is harm town. We need to be able to judge everyone independently of each other to get the best reads. I think I'm reaching a similar point with you as I am with Chamale though. Your arguments seem like someone who's just inexperienced with mafia and who isn't familiar with standard plays or scum flags. I realise I've been quite harsh on both of you but I hope you guys keep playing mafia here cause one day we'll be in a game together and you'll be like 'dude, you were totally right, what were we thinking?'

So let's look at Lowell. He's also a newbie like Chamale and Ace, they all started the game quietly but unlike them he's still lurking on D3. And when he does post, what he posts has little of value.LowellDND posted:Getting on this bandwagon LowellDND posted:Oh, we're formal about it then? ##vote lumpen LowellDND posted:Let's wrap the day up I guess. LowellDND posted:That seems compelling. All of his votes are lovely bandwagon votes on whoever looks the most likely lynch target at the time. He's afraid of going against the tide of the thread, he doesn't want to be seen as standing out, which is a scummy mindset. LowellDND posted:Okay, sure. Lurker with a lot of one liners. Ill vote Opop if we're going that way. On D1 Lowell commits to voting Opop. However, he doesn't attach a vote to his supposed commitment and the push on Opop fades. He doesn't want to be seen as defending Opop but he doesn't want Opop to be lynched either. LowellDND posted:town This is the reason why relying on LumpenLists is a bad thing. This post is meaningless because we have no understanding of why people are in the positions Lowell has put them in. Lowell is using this list as a crutch to excuse himself from having to post meaningful content. Lists are only relevant when they are presented in the context of your reads (compare this post to mine and Lumpen's lists). All in all, Lowell reads like a player who is afraid of saying something wrong, afraid of doing something to get attention on him and afraid of being outed for what he is, scum. ##vote Lowell

Rarity posted:So let's look at Lowell. He's also a newbie like Chamale and Ace, they all started the game quietly but unlike them he's still lurking on D3. And when he does post, what he posts has little of value. I like how you voted for me after I voted for you That's not sketchy at all. Mostly this is my first game and I'm still trying to learn the ropes. As for the expansion on my list: town lowell probably town corazon - seems to have some good ideas and similar reads foo - posts often, seems to be doing good analysis ace - similar read as me when it comes to rarity, which is encouraging neutral someone - can’t get a solid read on them yet f_v - can’t get a solid read on them yet maybe scum cham - flavor fishing, but that isn’t necessarily proof apostate - something about them doesnt feel right, but Im waiting it out. scum imgay - seems oddly deffensive rarity - My reasons for voting Rarity: Started with a bunch of one liners, and then went hard for Lumpen (who was revealed to be town). Following that, they tended to be low content, skeptical of everyone, but not posting any effort posts. Instead, they simply went around asking people to give their own reads. Their second target was a town (who they didn’t give a read for, and showed little interest in it prior to their vote).

Since you did ask. Dead players Ernie -Town Hiipfire - Serial killer Kashuno - Town Lumpen - Town Opopanex Scum TMMadman - Town With that in mind, we need to look at who Opop voted for, and who voted with them. Opop voted Kashuno before dying. People who voted to kill Kash include: Opop, apostate, Lowell, someone, imagay, chamale, rarity, fv, ace, and corazon scum know scum, of course, so we can (tenatively) assume they won’t vote for scum. this means we can subtract the day 2 lynch (fv, lumpen, apostate, ace, corazon, foo, and myself). This leaves us with ‘someone, imgay, chamale, and rarity’ Looking at current votes, we have 2 for chamale (somone and foo), and 2 for rarity (ace and myself). if we assume scum won’t vote for scum, that that puts higher likelihood of chamale not being scum, while someone is. this logic also plays with the prior hunches of imgay and rarity.

This is a faulty argument, why would you assume this? Since Scum need to look like not-Scum they absolutely might vote for one another or be on another scum teammate's lynch. Sure it's a factor to consider but blithely assuming "they voted Scum so they must not be Scum" is naive at best and at worst, a deflection from ~*your scumbros*~ on the lynch

Otherwise we go into things like 'no one can no anything conclusively' and base everything on the gut feelings. And we've lost 4 town doing it that way.

just based on initial patterns, Im seeing groupings of corazon/foo/ace/me and someone/imgay/rarity. with fv, cham, and apostate in the middle.

Captain Foo posted:i will be interested to hear your case, i have genreally seen someone awful as town Like I said, it's gut and I don't think I could draw up a good case on it. What stands out to me is that he was in the thread when Hiip got vigged (he posted at exactly the same time as the flip was posted) and then just completely disappears while we lynch Opop. He has nothing to say and no vote to contribute. I think he's also been a little inconsistent with his opinions on people, Ernie, kash and Lumpen stand out on a re-read.
