Read a couple pages.

I like Dan as town because of his searching for roles.  Some of yall think the complete opposite, but not me.  I actually like doing that because it brings more discussion.  I would do this in previous games and would draw the most suspicion even though i was town.  


Wont be back for a while.  Just had a nephew born.


Considering I agree with his thoughts about searching for roles, I like this post. Even though sportsguy definitely needs to contribute more, for now I'd rather lynch Orange.


I think searching for roles openly is stupid as fuck. You basically tell Maf who they can kill. I mean yeah ok, it can bring discussion...so can other things. In this game, even if the "username" isn't indicative of role or alignment per se, it could possibly help Maf figure out what role someone could or could not have. Especially since Shock posted that they have a list of all names.

I am really against that and I would advise that we do NOT talk about our names or roles unless it is mandatory(claim, clear, etc.)

I haven't been able to get reads on everybody but this is what I've got so far:

TvK - My strongest Town lean. Responds quickly and is very analytical. Questions people without being aggressive or intrusive. Knows people inside and out

PAF - Moderate town lean. It's difficult to tell and very few of his posts are "scummy", so it's unlikely he'd be maf.

No Control - Neutral.

MKDS - Town Jester. MKDS has a tendency to use smileys a lot in his posts.

I'll post my maf reads later today. I'm at school right now and don't have the time to search through yet.



No clarification on me or MKDS. would like to know more about MKDS read?

As for TvK, knowing people inside and out doesn't tell anything about alignment. How you quickly changed from TvK mafia to this:

Orange Slices wrote on 08/22/17 at 16:54:52:
That entire post has changed my mafia lean on you, although I'll still be keeping a close eye to see if there's anything which proves otherwise later in the day.


and now he is your biggest town lean. To me this looks like you want to wash away your sins.

Also it looks like you skip TvK's questions, can you answer that 328


Orange Slices wrote on 08/24/17 at 02:46:26:
Dan insisting on something is very suspicious. When scum hunting or searching through posts you should never make reads with absolute certainty.
Calling out somebody as a Town with absolute certainty could easily mean that player is a mafia with a significant night role - somebody who is vital to the team. So it would make sense for you to defend them with absolute certainty, as they're playing a vital role for the mafia who they cannot afford to lose.

[vote]DansGame[vote/]



So the only reason Dan is your top scum read is his certainty? What about his vote on you? Any other suspects? Any reads on other people which you didn't include in your list?

I assumed Yoshistar would be a town role for some reason. Hinting at a role also seemed something mafia wouldn't be likely to do, I thought they would be more likely to fake claim... I'm not even sure what was my exact reasoning anymore.

Things like i did it because some reason and i'm not sure why i did it are pretty bad. You kind of explained that 2nd part, but could you give any more thoughts about assuming YS is town? Anything would be helpful really.

P.A.F.625 wrote on 08/23/17 at 07:23:40:
You and TvK have good reasons to suspect me for this, I guess I can deal with it...


You are validating your wagon, if you are town you should assume mafia is after you.


P.A.F.625 wrote on 08/23/17 at 04:51:58:
I actually think Leone has good points about Dan. Maf know every character and he's the first to mention one. Him insisting on it is just him defending himself smoothly after Leone suspected him and Shock revealed the missing info. I mean, he does rely on confirmation bias too much, not everything Leone writes is typical of YS. I don't care if Leone is trying to trigger confusion himself, Dan could just admit that his character isn't clear or just get on with real scum hunting.
He's the only one that gives me decent scum vibes so:
[vote]Dansgame[/vote]
One thing that leaves me uncomfortable though... he's the top poster by far, and usually they're town...


But I actually think Leone isn't pure town. There's no fucking reason for this extreme change in playstlye. Who would like to get in the spotlight so much? Someone who actually wants to get lynched (makes sense that such role is named "jester" lol).


So 1st you agree with Leone's points on Dan and vote Dan. After that you agree with Dan's points on Leone. Why would you believe anything your top scum read says on others?
As for the Dan vote, it looks to me like you are trying to tone down your vote against Dan with that top posters are likely town statement. If it feels uncomfortable you shouldn't vote.

Can we get a full list of your thoughts on everyone? I hope you can minimize referring to other people.


I didn't say it at first but I also had the same thought that YS was more likely a town (or neutral) role than mafia, I think because of the perceived "helplessness" of Yoshistar and I would assume mafia members would be more aggressive people like Alaktorn if they were in the game.

PAF always seems unsure of himself on D1 and even later sometimes in every game I can remember and I think this is not mafia indicative of him. I think that !maf paf would act more sure of himself plus I already quoted a couple other things of his which I think sound like town.

The reasoning behind your vote makes absolutely no sense. Surely you would have known to have asked for other player's reasons behind voting for Dan before making a decision as to whether my stance on him made sense or was just a bandwagon.

na, I have not yet developed multiple personalities like Leone. Maybe that will come later?

He's here, he could use some heat. I wanna see what he does about it.

Why did you point to TvK's opinion to answer this question? Your thoughts were wanted, not TvK's.

I gave my own opinion to answer this question, in the other posts I displayed of Leone's at the time. I also used TvK's thoughts because even though I wasn't sure if I agreed with him, TvK is a strong player and I thought it was worth bringing up so I could get Third's thoughts about it

I firmly disagree with you with the caveat that I think searching for strong power roles openly is a terrible idea. However searching for a role that seems to be a jester or angel and likely not a strong PR possibly isn't a bad idea at all IMO. I don't see YS being a strong town PR if that's what Leone rolled. Maf can kill anybody but also if we confirm someone as not mafia that gives a doctor a chance to save a confirmed person and put mafia in a bad spot.

The thing is, we do not know how strong the roles attached to the names are. We can assume, but that is not safe at all. I would not risk it.

Also, as I have stated before, searching for an angel or jester is fine to me, it's a special case after all. It's just the fact that you were tunneling so hard on it that makes me suspicious of you.

Are you this certain I am scum that you're already primarily reading 2 peoples' alignmentd solely off of me? Also, I don't think Zwiebel would have any problem doing that if we were m/m, I think it's usually a safe assumption that I won't wind up getting lynched on D1. And honestly the Leone stuff at this point really doesn't matter. Whether we think he's a jester angel or town we are not lynching him.

I didn't say in that post that I was confident that I wouldn't get lynched today. I said that at the time in your mind you probably didn't vote for me because you thought I would get lynched. Now you are just twisting my words about something that doesn't even matter.

This is where i see the problem. You weren't sure you agree with his opinion, but still you used it to strengthen your point. You didn't really post many examples for Leone's bad post minus the crazy and this to me looks like you are catching on last straws to bring his argument down.

I think I see a pattern in people's accusations on me, from all the games I've played. Seems they want me to be one-sided. Sorry but that just isn't my style. Most of the times I explicit my read on people and which arguments are stronger, but I still feel like poiting out counter-arguments so I take everything into consideration and allow myself (and everyone else) to change my mind later on.
It gets pretty absurd when people claim that my counter-arguments make my entire reasoning useless. FFS, I still give town ideas and I still know which side to follow, for the current moment at least.
Also, like I said, I did the same in both games in which I was town, and in both I got wagoned for this. Are you willing to do the same mistake?
Also, it worked last game, so give me a chance. Tongue

With this in mind, I think scum would like to go thru this lame logic about my playstyle. My wagon probably isn't 100% town. I can say Thiradell is sort of excused bc he probably didn't read the past games. I don't like how Zoran and TvK ignore that I'm being myself even though they both read both previous games... can't conclude much, but I'll be damned if all 3 are town.

As for Dan.... he actually looks better by trying to get into my perspetive, would it be a good move for him as scum? And he does make a point about his defense, it does remind me of D1 of my first game. I'll keep my vote on him for now since pretty much noone triggers my scum radar.
There may be a chance he's pocketing me, but that's unlikely (Oh look, a counter-argument!! Forget everything he said and just lynch him already!!! Roll Eyes )

PAF always seems unsure of himself on D1 and even later sometimes in every game I can remember and I think this is not mafia indicative of him. I think that !maf paf would act more sure of himself plus I already quoted a couple other things of his which I think sound like town.


Not sure i agree here, he pretty much destroyed that last game, i think he deserves more credit then you are giving him.

I also used TvK's thoughts because even though I wasn't sure if I agreed with him


This is where i see the problem. You weren't sure you agree with his opinion, but still you used it to strengthen your point. You didn't really post many examples for Leone's bad post minus the crazy and this to me looks like you are catching on last straws to bring his argument down.


I just thought it was weird for someone to say that ALL of a person's posts were good minus the craziness, so I thought it was worth it to highlight.

What I think people miss here sometimes is that while scumhunting is important, gamesolving is just as important.  I can solve a mafia game by figuring out who the mafia are, but I can also solve a mafia game by figuring out who all the town/3rd party roles are.  If I have strong reasons to feel like someone is not mafia, as I strongly feel for you in this case, I'm going to come out with them because I think that helps us move the game forward and decide on better lynches who are more likely to be mafia.  Right now I almost certainly feel you are NOT mafia and this makes the odds better of lynching mafia if I can come up with conclusions about this based on evidence.

I actually think Leone has good points about Dan. Maf know every character and he's the first to mention one. Him insisting on it is just him defending himself smoothly after Leone suspected him and Shock revealed the missing info. I mean, he does rely on confirmation bias too much. I don't care if Leone is trying to trigger confusion himself, Dan could just admit that his character isn't clear or just get on with real scum hunting.
He's the only one that gives me decent scum vibes so:

One thing that leaves me uncomfortable though... he's the top poster by far, and usually they're town...


Dan insisting on something is very suspicious. When scum hunting or searching through posts you should never make reads with absolute certainty. It's better to gather as many clues/hints as possible and work from there. If you have a strong maf/town lean towards somebody, that's fair, but absolutely insisting on it and defending your positions is awfully scummy, regardless of whether they're read as being town or maf. Calling out somebody as a Town with absolute certainty could easily mean that player is a mafia with a significant night role - somebody who is vital to the team. So it would make sense for you to defend them with absolute certainty, as they're playing a vital role for the mafia who they cannot afford to lose.

As for Dan being the top poster, (not anymore currently), I'd say this may be a case of reverse psychology. Due to the top posters almost always being town as you say, it would seem logical to post as much as you can so people are tricked into believing you are town in that sense.

I can't remember you saying that you thought Dan was even remotely scummy before this post. Well, you promised to make a list of your scumreads, but that didn't happen. To respond to the first line of your post: why is insisting on something scummy. Yes, I know only the mafia are sure of who is on their team and who isn't. But if you are town and you're certain that someone else is not town, wouldn't you try everything to convince other town members of this?

And for your second paragraph: I am among the top three posters as well. Why don't you think that I could be mafia pretending to be town? Did you notice anything in my game that shows that I'm definitely not using the reverse psychology tactic?

This post makes Orange a great lynch target in my opinion. Not only does he use really weird logic to jump onto one of the top wagons. He also chose Dan of those wagons. An orange flip would give us a lot of materal to work with.

Just a fact that might be interesting to some:

The only people right now that are voting eatch other are Dan(Orange) and Orange(Dan). Dan's vote was pretty early (#74) while Oranges was recent(#370). Take it for whatever you want.

Orange, as long as you are here and do no participate in the discussion, with every minute that goes on without you saying anything, I will consider you more scummy. While Dan is more scummy in my eyes for what he did in this game, you're more scummy for what you have not done in this game. If you wanna convince me that Dan is a better lynch than you are, speak up. Or maybe, try to give me an other alternative. I'd be very interested in that. Or just say that you have no clue what the fuck to do.

I don't like how PAF has voted Dan, due to them equally being the most voted player. This may have been to put more pressure on Dan so he could attempt to prove his town allegiance or to simply jump on the bandwagon that would otherwise be on his shoulders.


Dans reason behind voting for me was completely justified at the time it was posted. I had made a really confusing and overly analytical post about TvK's reaction to receiving 3 out of 6 of the votes at that point. Since then I have had a very strong Town read towards him. Would you care to state your reasons for staying with this vote?

For now, I'm not really sure who to decide on

I think I see a pattern in people's accusations on me, from all the games I've played. Seems they want me to be one-sided. Sorry but that just isn't my style. Most of the times I explicit my read on people and which arguments are stronger, but I still feel like poiting out counter-arguments so I take everything into consideration and allow myself (and everyone else) to change my mind later on.
It gets pretty absurd when people claim that my counter-arguments make my entire reasoning useless. FFS, I still give town ideas and I still know which side to follow, for the current moment at least.
Also, like I said, I did the same in both games in which I was town, and in both I got wagoned for this. Are you willing to do the same mistake?
Also, it worked last game, so give me a chance. Tongue

With this in mind, I think scum would like to go thru this lame logic about my playstyle. My wagon probably isn't 100% town. I can say Thiradell is sort of excused bc he probably didn't read the past games. I don't like how Zoran and TvK ignore that I'm being myself even though they both read both previous games... can't conclude much, but I'll be damned if all 3 are town.

As for Dan.... he actually looks better by trying to get into my perspetive, would it be a good move for him as scum? And he does make a point about his defense, it does remind me of D1 of my first game. I'll keep my vote on him for now since pretty much noone triggers my scum radar.
There may be a chance he's pocketing me, but that's unlikely (Oh look, a counter-argument!! Forget everything he said and just lynch him already!!! Roll Eyes )


The fact is that there are very little certainties in mafia. If you are town, and you want to lynch scum, you have to be able to convince other people. You can't win this game by yourself. How are you supposed to convince other people from your reads if you aren't even able to convince yourself? You sometimes have to take risks, but the pay-off can be a lot better than the risk.

The bolded part is something that strengthens my scumread of you. That's just bad. The entire point of the mafia is to appear as townish as possible throughout the day. It's what I do myself when I am mafia. In my eyes, this sentence just screams "I'm trying my best to look town, but they are still voing me". In fact, at first you agreed with Zoran and I scumreading you.

I also would encourage you to use your vote at this point, we're well into the final quarter of the day.
