That's one.
That's also why you're a great villager, my sweet. You do actually read and care. The inertia of the game has to change. I am relying on my top villager reads to make it so. |

I read Idrinkthere4Iam's responses to you and to me and I drew the opposite conclusion you did. He seems to be getting genuinely frustrated which leads me to believe he's more likely town than scum. (The only thing I'm good at as town is figuring out who's frustrated town FWIW.) I also don't think it makes sense with him as scum to just say you're suspicious without itemizing the reasons. More specifically, he's got a pretty good (from the standpoint of reasonableness, not from accuracy) reason for thinking you're scum-- you didn't move your vote to save Lightfoot after she claimed. I understand what you're saying about why you didn't do that, but this is a reasonable explanation for suspecting you. IMO scum come up with something reasonable to say and then hold onto it like a dog with a bone. Him getting frustrated and being unable to come up with a specific example reads WAY more town to me than scum. |

Archangel bouncing back and forth between Lulz not being scum, then being scum, then not being scum, based on events happening D1 reads as not agenda driven and in response to the actual conditions of the game.
The double reversal feels like she's in the flow, not measuring all her actions and moving carefully or meticulously. |

Responding to post #38, but I didn't quote it because it's too long to add further text to.
I've already stated my feelings on you, lulz and Idrink. I agree with you re Sooh-- if she's scum she's the best scum I've ever seen. I don't have enough content from Bill to have a read on him yet. I'm glad to see you're off your tunneling that DoubleA is town. I never played with him before so I don't know his playstyle, but please take into consideration that he was a factor in both near ties/mislynches. I now believe lulz is town, so if lulz/zeener is two town and lulz/Lightfoot is two town, that makes DoubleA look really bad. I don't have a read on DizzyMrsLizzy yet-- she's too focused on lulz and that could be as town or as scum. Meeko is starting to bother me the more time goes on. He's getting away with posting nothing of significance without any heat. It's not that different from how he usually plays, but if anything it's less game content than usual, so it's starting to ping me. Guiri's been pinging me on and off but the more time goes on the better I feel about him. I just can't see him being the 5th vote on a town Lightfoot as scum. Not unless lulz is scum, and I don't think he is. I also don't think a me vs. Guiri dichotomy means one of us is town and one is scum. I could be scum looking to smudge him, or scum looking to set up a bus on him. Or I could be town being pinged by him either way. Also, Guiri has responded to me in general but hasn't really posted an opinion about me, so I'm just not seeing why you think we're a mismatched pair. I don't have a read on SisterCoyote other than she always pings me as scum and I don't see her playing differently. I started out feeling this way about Scathach and Mahaloth, but the more time goes on the more I think they're likely scum. Scathach can get really really defensive when she's frustrated town and I'm not getting that feel out of her. Mahaloth, like Meeko, is posting even less game-related content than usual. To sum up my ramblings, I think DoubleA is scum. I think you, lulz, and Idrinkthere4Iam are not. And I think at least one of Meeko, Scathach, Mahaloth and Sario is scum. I'll work with you on Scathach, but in return I ask that you consider DoubleA as potential scum. |

I did mention he'd be a great peek, because he's been pushed for the lynch and is hard to read in general, if he sucked up a mafia murder, that's amazing for village. But look at how he responded to my request for him to leave his vote in a position that causes his own lynch yesterday. He did it cheerfully and never removed his vote even when I asked him to do so: Quote:

Archangel- purely from an information standpoint, Scathach is scum and we have people's reactions to that.
Where people stand on Mahaloth is a mystery. Would you lynch him before Scathach? |

I mentioned Mahaloth when we were cross-posting, but he's bugging me more as time goes on. Day One he voted for lulz based on a grudge, which I actually think is understandable, having been in that previous game. Day two he voted for lulz for seeming scummy. Mahaloth isn't a high volume player and doesn't give elaborate reasoning either way, but he's starting to feel like he is intentionally skating under the radar rather than just being at a loss. (This is one of the reasons I suck as town-- I play on feel more than analysis.) I think if forced to articulate a reason why this feels this way to me, I'd say he posts even more fluff when he's town. He seems to be restrained in his posting, which is normally restrained anyway, if that makes sense. |

Enough has transpired this game to get a read on the skating, the avoiding responsibility, the not solving, the under the radar, the inertia, the status quo, the bad cases.
It is possible to stop lynching villagers now. Several players are howling and it is possible to determine that from the interactions. People should not retain the inertia of the game and they should not be discouraged by a couple of villager lynches. If you lynch 2 scums in the next 2 days, it was worth every drop of their blood in exchange. |

We'll have to agree to disagree. I've seen it done, in fact I've seen it become popular to stand your ground when you're scum. Also, he may have known he had teammates that were going to save him.

Mahaloth didn't do anything to my line of questioning about him earlier. To be fair, nor did very many others. He is very much under the radar like you said, and I wouldn't be opposed to a push there. I can also very much see the Scathach case presented by Pizza. I'm willing to vote there too. As for Double A I don't know. The one thing that does stand out to me as sort of a scummy range is that he is very agreeable to people. He agrees a whole lot with a number of different people. That kind of pings, but if that's the only thing I think I would rather get some pressure on the other two first before revisiting. |

I just don't feel Double A plays that way. You are reading deeper strategies into him than he prefers to play with. Double A is seriously a for fun player. His tone is spot on for lacking an agenda and not really caring about the risk of death. If he had a team, he would care a little bit more. He'd have every reason to question my asking him to keep his vote where it was. He'd be able to go, why are you asking me to let myself hang, Pizza? Etc. Just.... Push him down your POE. We also have data on who wants him dead and who does not, from the early game. If he eats a murder that is so astoundingly good for village over eating a lynch, that's a massive equity swing in our favor, and makes up for one mislynch. |
#72

I concede if he's got a scum team they could ask him to do so.
But it happened instantly in real time. That was Double A's decision and his alone. He made that call. That's villagery. |
#73
|
||||
|

Just so I'm clear, I'm not pushing for a DoubleA lynch. I'm asking that you look at things both ways; if DoubleA is town, and if DoubleA is scum. Because there's something to those near-ties and I don't think it's lulz.
I am willing to work as a coalition because I agree that scattered town benefits scum at this point, and because I want people to take a stand on leading candidates rather than having one-off votes from now on. |
#74

Scanning him is possibly even more amazing for village than me or Drink.
I could plausibly be a nightkill and self-clear if I'm correct, I put too much into this game. Drink as scum is a death, and therefore doesn't prevent a mislynch. Well it could if he's town. Finding a villager here who could be mislynched is superior to finding a scum. If you find him to be scum that is also amazing for analysis. Yes, Double A is a great scan choice. I agree with my own assessment of that. I'm glad you're on board with it. |

And it's okay to still think he's scum as your "majority read" and look at the "minority read" universe where he's town.
I could look at minority read universes where Scathach is town, Drink is town, Mahaloth is town, but not many folks have commented on Drink or Mahaloth. At least my attempts on Scathach have provoked a lot of non-reactions from people or not support for her lynch. That's something. |

At the end of the day her claim was an issue because one shot vigilante and she had scum reads, and she was stubborn about saving herself to lynch Scathach.... It's too easy to pull as scum if she's scum with Scath. But... I admit, I was uncomfortable with the end of round and wanted her to town-tell or move her vote, a lot. When she did not I felt it was out of the possible Scath-Lightfoot pairing, because me forcing her into that position is still not townie points for her for lynching her. Not many. Town points for me, her team still doesn't survive, and better for her to die than bus her own teammate and then die. That's what I was thinking. Quote:

On D1 I moved my vote off my preferred candidate to the more suspicious of the leading candidates to prevent a tie and therefore no lynch. On D2 I moved my vote to the lynch leader one hour before EoD (which happens to be midday Saturday for me, so a perfectly reasonable time to be online) because her claim sucked. I'd expect scum would have been happy to leave town in the dark on D1 and had no need to join the Lightfoot bandwagon so late on the Day after Lightfoot had signed off and Double A was asked to move his vote off Scathach. Unless you're suggesting that I'm scum with lulz and Double A and have voted strategically to protect them, what exactly is your issue with my vote history? I have no defence against "there's something there".

Okay, so I didn't get to interrogate Mahaloth like I wanted, but that's my fault.
I respect the fact that he sat and stayed there for like an hour after I asked him to. Also there's just something strange about his tone there... you have to recognize I had just spent half the posts in this night phase tearing at three players in particular, and one of them was Mahaloth. His reaction felt... like he hadn't read my posts or he didn't care that I was accusing him. But it feels weird for either alignment. I know Mahaloth doesn't typically get rustled or upset or reacts too strongly regardless. @Mahaloth: The bolded stuff is really important to me. In post 46, I asked.... 1. Why am I a villager? First I'm not scummy for no reason, and tonight, I'm a villager for no reason. Elaborate on how you went from having no opinion on me to having one, to having a strong one. Which posts specifically. It's important to me, not busywork, because I need to put myself in your shoes and see if it fits a progression I can identify. Be as specific as you can with your reasons why. 2. What is it about lulz and his tone which feels off to you? Additional thought, it's not hard to fake, but I get a lot from his tone which is passionate, struggling, defiant, and there's a sincere desire there to make a lynch happen which he feels will result in the death of a mafioso. Now, you can fake that. But look at the other side of the coin. You have several players here who I can name, and you can name, that have no passion, they aren't struggling, and they're the opposite of defiant. They're.... compliant. They're pushing the status quo, but not that hard. They aren't saying why people are villagers and why people are wolves beyond just the bare minimum perfunctory surface level. That is what I feel wolves do. I feel that especially when I have seen the player in question have some passion about what they do as a villager, rattle some cages, take some controversial stands, and when it comes to me, actually stand up to me, argue with me, and call me scum up and down if they think there's the slightest thing off about me. And they'll go into great detail why I'm scum if they think so. Because then it's a real thought that inhabits their head. It may or may not be correct but they BELIEVE in it. Look only at Day One, Night One, Day Two. Tell me which people have said there's something wrong with me, and tell me which of them you actually believe feel that way. Look at the folks who have commented about me but have zero position on me. Which position feels real to you? Which opinions feel like they are absolutely real, coming from the mind of a person who wants to win the game for village? I'm not even concerned about the accuracy of it. Anyone who has accused me or not thought I was a sterling villager has been completely wrong. But did they have any vehemence behind their opinion, any effort, any sincere belief that you could see? 3. What is wrong with Scathach, in your opinion? You've played with her before many times. What makes her a valid lynch this time? 4. Where do you stand on Drink and why? What did they do, on which days, in which posts that makes you feel that way? 5. Where do you stand on Meeko and why? What did they do, on which days, in which posts that makes you feel that way? 6. Where do you stand on Dizzy and why? What did they do, on which days, in which posts that makes you feel that way? You're a great big blank space to me this game. Even if I die, I'm asking you to respond well to these questions. It will help the other players read you. I wish I could have asked you that in real time, but this will have to do. |
