Can you arrange the players on my following brackets in order from scummiest(left) to most townish(right)? Reasoning would be welcome, but I can understand if you don't have reasoning for all of them, gut feeling is allright too.


1. [Dan, TYG, Leone]

2. [TvK, Zwiebel, John]

3. [Brian, Third, Sportsguy]

4. [Dan, PAF, Zoran]


teh fuck is this??? little mind games like these trigger my scum radar cuz the most scummy of any 3 that someone chooses might get that someone to be unnecessarily suspicious of someone else, or could divide attention between more scummy person & less scummy person... idk it just looks weird, BUT, cuz i think my reads here might be useful to town, ill oblige!!!!!111!

1 - same order you got for obvious-to-me reasons, TYG looks weird cuz so quiet and no vote but nowhere near as bad as Dan (wall incoming soon [def well before eod] justifying this)

2 - no particular order these 3 are all null to me, john's posts are townread to me but he hasn't voted and that looks bad

3 - [Sportsguy, Brian = Third]

sportsguy looks bad to me cuz he's contributed next-to-nothing of substance and his vote exists for no reason LOL

third/brian null for different reasons, former cuz good posts but iffy votes, latter cuz so little content and no clue what his playstyle is

4 - same order you got, zoran is null or slight town to me, paf looks bad but yet again Im hesitant to call his indecisiveness maf, call it gut/meta instinct, i didnt read flo's game yet, i might wanna do that...

I'm here and should be here at EoD as well.

I don't particularly like Brian's entrance into the game either - mostly sheeping opinions and jumping on the current largest wagon. Understating the importance of D1 (I agree with you TvK when you say it's just as important as every other day, even though it's the hardest to catch scum...see below as well).

I know this is dangerous meta-territory...but I just looked back over every game played on this forum in 2016/17 and found a disturbing trend - the two leading wagons on D1 have been t/t every single time. Just food for thought as PAF/Dan have been the primary wagons so far this game - what do the rest of you think, are we going astray again or are we finally on the right track? Like I said, this is definitely a risky thought process (not just figuring out 1 person's meta...but our collective meta as a forum), however now that I've seen it I think it's worth bringing to folks' attention.


The difference between this game and other games is that the wagons never really took off. In other games, we already had two leading wagons halfway through the day and it was hard to switch away from them. Any of the wagons now need lots of pushing and shoving before people choose between any of them. And even Orange the low-hanging fruit wagon isn't going anywhere at this point. And we once almost got scum on D1 in Brett's game. That also took a lot of work by Shock and I to finally sway people to come over. Unfortunately we couldn't lynch him that day.

Also for those of you that have lots of experience with each other are there players in this group that are good Mafia players but not good Town players? If so we should probably consider voting those guys out.

TvK - is acting the same as previous games in which he was scum... I've said several times I can't get in his head.
Thiradell - I can see someone who hasn't lurked in this MB, as townie, see me as scum even with his lame reasoning. But there's still a decent chance he's scum and he isn't scumhunting as hard as Zoran. (I think I just analyse this guy better, actually).
Zoran - is acting the same as previous games in which he was town. I'd like to assume I'd notice a difference in behavior if he were scum, but I can't be sure since I never seen him play as scum.

To answer Leone's question on replay #330, I guess if Dan/you were town TvK would be the most likely scum.



on TvK - can you point out how he's acting same as previous games?!??!!!?1  Shocked Shocked

on thiradell - so what's your conclusion onn him??? you've said a whole lotta nada as to why you think he's either foreign townie or scum

then id guess your answer to my question would go back to why you think tvk is scum, so ples just expand on that thanks sir Smiley

My reads so far are:

Dan: Town lead but acting different than what I've seen of his live game and I could def see being Jester or a similar role where getting lynched is good for him.  

Thiradell: Very slight Maf lead because he said Day 1 reads don't matter and then preceded to give us his.

PAF: Strongest Maf lead to this point (scattered thoughts and lots of his comments/reasoning didn't make sense to me)

TVK: Small town lead. Something to ask yourself: How often would Mafia be the first to vote for a random person so early in the game. As town we at least have to try to get info right?



looks like tvk picked this one apart already, oh well guess there could be redundancy

Dan - town and jester are 2 different things, how can you rationalize having a double-lean like this????~?~?!!

PAF - ples expand on why you think he's maf, examples etc thanks kind sir!!111 Smiley

TVK - why he small town lean to you????

noob town is more likely by the numbers too btw so keep that in mind for these idiots flip-flopping all over the place - tell me when orange played well for instance????? (sorry not-purple <3 )

also unrelated but tyg is looking worse every hour he doesnt post


I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say here. My first priority is for everyone to put a vote down right now.


ok maybe i meant other ppl idk but the question remaians AND it remains directed at ppl who're hounding votes based on others' reasons

No there's nothing magical about it - but at some point, wouldn't math dictate that we'd get it right eventually? The great DIAMOND would agree that if 25% of the players are scum (no idea if that's the case in this game, but I'm approximating the others that I just went through), then once every 4 games we should get scum lynched D1 mirite??

Orange's posts today are somehow managing to be as bad as his entry into the game:
voting for Dan then removing it an hour or so later?
not liking PAF's vote on Dan by saying they were equal in votes at the time? When PAF voted for Dan, there were no votes on PAF...
accepting Dan's vote on him? are you okay with anyone voting for you then?? Let's find out...

This is how i see it, the more people post and express their opinions and reads, the more chance we have to lynch mafia. Let's say Dan and PAF will not get lynched today, who are your other options at this point?

I see you put your vote on Orange, do you have anyone else in mind as a counter wagon?

Will be on and off for next 2 hours.

At some point, everyone should be able to contribute a unique thought to the game - whether it's something picked out of a post, starting a new line of discussion out of the blue, etc. I know Brian came late in the day, but I haven't seen anything besides sheeping yet, and I don't like it...

BTW Leone, I like your reaction to Timur's list post. Trying to shape the argument in that way hinders open discussion and is "leading the witness" imo.

I'm saying that b/c of your super early vote I have a slight town lead on you. Also according to others your town game is strong so I would rather not get rid of you yet because you provide value. With Orange's posts I agree with the consensus that they seem like weird logic to me and if he is  in fact an inexperienced player i think reading him will be tougher than the average player and I'd liIke to play the wait and see game with him. If pressed I'd lean toward Mafia for Orange.


In my opinion it is easier to read someone who is inexperienced. If he is mafia, it will be a lot easier to spot when he tries to fake being useful to town. And if you had to put your vote down right now, would you vote PAF or Orange? And if you make that decision, I would like to urge you to put that vote down.


whoa whoa whoaaaaaaa there friend sir buddy pal chum good kind benevolent sexy sire sir!!!11 Why u present "who ya gonna vote for" as a dichotomy between PAF and Orange???!?!?!//1. !!!!  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

also this piqued my scumdar

Quote:
And to add to my previous post: how are you still neutral about Orange? He has made a lot of posts that should at least enable you to have some kind of opinion on him. Do you think his strange logic and him quickly changing votes is due to his inexperience as a town member? Or do you think he is a very cautious mafia member who is quick to change any opinions based on how other people react to his posts? Look for example at how he voted Dan, and then unvoted again after people started questioning his vote.


my gut tells me you'ere tryna push a narrative here fine sir!!!11

I think he means that some people focus too much of seeing those who take advantage of others arguments and vote for the same people and thus interfere with the growth of wagons (Leone hints this is because one the wagons is scum and so are those experienced players).

Interesting point. I can see people getting slight maf reads because of "sheeping" while they actually couldn't think of anything else and agree with previous arguments, following through the logic. I've done this, so has Timur. On his case I felt suspicious since he's experienced, also this was his strat as scum... still, like I said SLIGHT maf lean. Having to make up your own ideas is far from easy, people needn't be so picky. What does everyone think about this?

Zwiebel wrote on 08/23/17 at 12:05:37:
which is why I think Leone is probably not Town. I actually agree with Dan on the point that he is most likely jester.

However, I think the same as zoran: Dan pointed that out way too much and tried to bring the discussion back to YS every time he could. The thing is: In my eyes that makes him lean on the Maf side for me.  

voteDansGame[/vote]


So the idea after the 1st post is that Leone is probably not town. Then he does the same thing as PAF, agrees with his top maf read. Also he votes for Dan. To sum it up, Dan is Mafia, Leone is probably not town.

Then comes this post:

Zwiebel wrote on 08/23/17 at 12:08:06:
Also, Dan/Leone Maf is basically impossible from my speculations. If Dan is Maf, Leone is either Third party or Town


In case Dan is mafia (which is the same thought process as in 1st post), suddenly Leone might be town? Those 2 posts happened inside 3 minutes. Pretty inconsistent imo.

I was just stating that I think Dan/Leone m/m is impossible, while m/t or m/3rd party is possible. That doesn't mean I think Leone being Town is more likely, just that it shouldn't be ruled out. I still believe that he is actually the jester and that Dan is Maf, my opinion of that has not changed. I merely stated possibilities.

Besides his take on Dan/Leone situation, he posted some thoughts on town and maf leans, but no explanation of any kind.

Zwiebel wrote on 08/23/17 at 12:05:37:
but so far I kinda got Townish feeling from PAF and Zoran and Mafia from TYG. Can't really pinpoint for now tho, just gut feeling.


Zwiebel wrote on 08/23/17 at 12:30:31:
I like this post from TvK. Trying to get the discussion away from this whole derailing.


This is basically another shoot at Dan. If you felt like this was derailing (Dan/Leone communication), why is your only decent post until this point about Dan and Leone?

I think the whole discussion revolving around Leone being jester was a derailing, but that doesn't mean we can't take that and try to find scum with that help. That's what I have been trying to do, which I would say is not derailing? I just mean that debating if Leone is jester or not has been going on for far too long and should not continue to be the main point of discussion, but rather what the implications of that discussions are for finding maf.

Zwiebel wrote on 08/23/17 at 14:37:19:
Normally I would agree that high postcount is most of the times an indicator for Town, however 90% of his posts were "jesterhunting"(or call it whatever u want)if anything so I will not accept this argument for him this game.



More on Dan

Zwiebel wrote on 08/23/17 at 16:31:40:
I think Paf just doesn't know what the fuck to do. Could be Maf but I'd rather say he's just clueless Town.


Paf is town which he also stated in his 1st post so consistent there.

And then, out of nowhere and without providing any reasons:

Zwiebel wrote on 08/24/17 at 02:58:53:
[unvote]
[vote]Orange[/vote]

Jumping on the easy wagon now, aren't you? That's too weak for me.



Why did you switch your vote at this point, has Dan became less scummy or Orange most scummy or was it only to put some heat on Orange?

Orange was right there, so I tried to put him under pressure and see what his reaction would be. Needless to say it didn't really work...other than the fact that he basically ignored me and went offline. For now, I will stay on him just for the sake of him getting to speak up more. If he doesn't, I'm more than willing to lynch him.

Zwiebel wrote on 08/24/17 at 04:11:33:
Can you arrange the players on my following brackets in order from scummiest(left) to most townish(right)? Reasoning would be welcome, but I can understand if you don't have reasoning for all of them, gut feeling is allright too.


1. [Dan, TYG, Leone]

2. [TvK, Zwiebel, John]

3. [Brian, Third, Sportsguy]

4. [Dan, PAF, Zoran]


Is this how you would put these people in order or is it just a random example?

The pairings itself are nor random, the order is random tho.

In his latest posts pretty much focused on Dan and Orange.

What happened with TYG maf lean? Can you order your scum reads/leans in order from scummiest to towniest?

As I said, my leans at the time were basically just gut feelings. As TYG hasn't really posted that much more since then, my feelings haven't really changed on him, so I have no evidence for more than a gut feeling. If I had to order them, I'd probably go

1. Dan
2. Orange
3. TYG




Any thoughts on players you haven't mentioned at all? (Brian, Sportsguy, Third, John, TvK)

Tbh, right now I could only tell you my gut feelings about all of them, but I do not have much evidence to actually go on about any of them. What I will say tho is, that the bottom 4 people in the postcount right now are all laying very low and should not get a free pass in this game. I know that Third and Sportsguy normally lay low on D1, but if they do not step it up, we should never just ignore them and let them be.

I like Dan's first few post of the game.

Love Dan's last sentence in post 78.  
If he doesn't want to do that then he needs to explain why he's posting the way he is or stop posting in that annoying way because otherwise I'm lynching the fuck out of him.



Could you clarify this a bit? I assume that you are not being sarcastic here which brings me to conclusion that you like Dan and dislike Leone  at this point?


Sportsguy001 wrote on 08/23/17 at 11:36:19:
Not through reading on page 6.  

IF Leone was a JESTER would he really be posting this odd and infuriating?  He would to an extent, but i don't think this absurd over the top is that of a JESTER.  

AS of page 6 he is my #1 town lean.  


Suddenly Leone is #1 town lean.


Sounds like an inconsistency in leans. Usually a mafia signal. Slight maf lean.

I thnk Leone pointed out the possibility he's scum with Thiradell, which I disagree since he asked repeatedly who he was... you think that was made up, Leone?


lol anything could be fake here kind sir!!!111!!!  Shocked Shocked

ANYHOW i think i said it could go either way t/m or m/m i think i was rambling incoherently at that point and didnt actually say anythign about thira's alignment related to sportsguy if sports=maf, one way or another LOL

1. [Dan, TYG, Leone]

2. [TvK, Zwiebel, John]

3. [Brian, Third, Sportsguy]

4. [Dan, PAF, Zoran]


teh fuck is this??? little mind games like these trigger my scum radar cuz the most scummy of any 3 that someone chooses might get that someone to be unnecessarily suspicious of someone else, or could divide attention between more scummy person & less scummy person... idk it just looks weird, BUT, cuz i think my reads here might be useful to town, ill oblige!!!!!111!

1 - same order you got for obvious-to-me reasons, TYG looks weird cuz so quiet and no vote but nowhere near as bad as Dan (wall incoming soon [def well before eod] justifying this)

2 - no particular order these 3 are all null to me, john's posts are townread to me but he hasn't voted and that looks bad

3 - [Sportsguy, Brian = Third]

sportsguy looks bad to me cuz he's contributed next-to-nothing of substance and his vote exists for no reason LOL

third/brian null for different reasons, former cuz good posts but iffy votes, latter cuz so little content and no clue what his playstyle is

4 - same order you got, zoran is null or slight town to me, paf looks bad but yet again Im hesitant to call his indecisiveness maf, call it gut/meta instinct, i didnt read flo's game yet, i might wanna do that...


Uuuuh thanks Leone but I only wanted Orange to do the ordering. Wasn't supposed to be for everyone

Sportsguy is probably the only person on here who I would say fits that bill.

I'm here and should be here at EoD as well.

I don't particularly like Brian's entrance into the game either - mostly sheeping opinions and jumping on the current largest wagon. Understating the importance of D1 (I agree with you TvK when you say it's just as important as every other day, even though it's the hardest to catch scum...see below as well).

I know this is dangerous meta-territory...but I just looked back over every game played on this forum in 2016/17 and found a disturbing trend - the two leading wagons on D1 have been t/t every single time. Just food for thought as PAF/Dan have been the primary wagons so far this game - what do the rest of you think, are we going astray again or are we finally on the right track? Like I said, this is definitely a risky thought process (not just figuring out 1 person's meta...but our collective meta as a forum), however now that I've seen it I think it's worth bringing to folks' attention.


The difference between this game and other games is that the wagons never really took off. In other games, we already had two leading wagons halfway through the day and it was hard to switch away from them. Any of the wagons now need lots of pushing and shoving before people choose between any of them. And even Orange the low-hanging fruit wagon isn't going anywhere at this point. And we once almost got scum on D1 in Brett's game. That also took a lot of work by Shock and I to finally sway people to come over. Unfortunately we couldn't lynch him that day.


so ppl being forced into a dichotomy halfway through the day is a good thing?????? thats what your tone says sir!!

also "orange aint going anywhere at this point" THEN MAKE IT CONVINCING  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

also if you think you got scum this game where's the hard work to sway us over?!?!!?  Shocked Shocked Shocked

I actually stopped reading his posts because they were so annoying to decipher and because I'm convinced he's not mafia anyway

I'm trying to do some reading but keep getting distracted by Leone's caps lock and emojis.


You don't like his posting style, now where have i heard that? Are you also in favor of lynching him if he gets too "annoying"?


Sportsguy001 wrote on 08/23/17 at 11:15:38:
Orange post 62:  Reading into somethings that probably mean absolutely nothing against tvk.  Not sure what to take from it.  I like that PAF and Dan call him out on it, but i think that is just as much a mafia ploy than a town ploy.  


You basically said nothing about either of them.

Sportsguy001 wrote on 08/23/17 at 11:15:38:
I like Dan's first few post of the game.

Love Dan's last sentence in post 78.  
If he doesn't want to do that then he needs to explain why he's posting the way he is or stop posting in that annoying way because otherwise I'm lynching the fuck out of him.



Could you clarify this a bit? I assume that you are not being sarcastic here which brings me to conclusion that you like Dan and dislike Leone  at this point?


Sportsguy001 wrote on 08/23/17 at 11:36:19:
Not through reading on page 6.  

IF Leone was a JESTER would he really be posting this odd and infuriating?  He would to an extent, but i don't think this absurd over the top is that of a JESTER.  

AS of page 6 he is my #1 town lean.  


Suddenly Leone is #1 town lean.

Sportsguy001 wrote on 08/23/17 at 14:31:16:
My main read is that youre town. Dan is probably also town based on the amount of post he has.  

I don't really have anymore reads that i'm somewhat confident on.  Maybe PAF is mafia idk.


Again with idk, maybe talk. Your only opinions in this game are about Leone and Dan.

Is PAF still your maf? any other maf leans? Thoughts on everyone else?

Sportsguy001 wrote on 08/23/17 at 14:37:36:
It's still day 1.  Don't really know much right now.


There is enough content to form an opinion, so please do that especially becasue one of the main wagons is on your town lean. Still waiting to see that different play style...



All of these were as i was reading.  I liked Dan's post about Leone because it was funny.  

Leone was being a big distraction earlier in the game and that is bad for the town.  I'm not going to try to lynch someone because of that sole reason, but it was certainly tempting.  

I like using voting patterns just a little more than post content so not much to determine on day1.  I have some opinions on players right now.  They aren't very confident because of the limited information.  I'm always of the opinion day1 is a crapshoot.  And i know yal don't like me saying that.  

Let me read a few more pages before i make a more firm decison on PAF.  

In reference to high posting being town:  I don't think i played in the games where this wasn't true or i was killed during the night early in them.

@Zoran: you asked who might be a decent counter? Someone who has literally done nothing but sheep so far might fit the bill, yes?
B.Ray wrote on 08/24/17 at 06:30:26:
I'm saying that b/c of your super early vote I have a slight town lead on you. Also according to others your town game is strong so I would rather not get rid of you yet because you provide value. With Orange's posts I agree with the consensus that they seem like weird logic to me and if he is  in fact an inexperienced player i think reading him will be tougher than the average player and I'd liIke to play the wait and see game with him. If pressed I'd lean toward Mafia for Orange.

Using others' opinions here
B.Ray wrote on 08/24/17 at 06:59:53:
Yes MKDS, that is enough for me to have a SLIGHT town read on TvK. Nothing is for sure and I'm not saying he is off my radar for the rest of the game.  As for forming my own opinions I assure you I do not give into peer pressure but if I've never played with someone and multiple people say they are a good town person and it doesn't get rebuttled I have to assume it's true. This is enough for me to keep him in the game

Says no peer pressure, but relies on others' opinions? We're far enough in the game to make judgements, if you think TvK might be scum, don't ditch that train of thought just because others have said he's a good townie before.
B.Ray wrote on 08/24/17 at 07:40:08:

Seeking others' opinions again. What are *your* opinions on those posts? Also, why did you only ask them?

Once again, asking others' opinions - asking to vote people out based on their behavior in previous games? WTF is this?

theres nothing magical about having 2 D1 wagons that end up being town, we have no information about anything so this is where maf get to manipulate the hardest

also this is likely bcuz math

No there's nothing magical about it - but at some point, wouldn't math dictate that we'd get it right eventually? The great DIAMOND would agree that if 25% of the players are scum (no idea if that's the case in this game, but I'm approximating the others that I just went through), then once every 4 games we should get scum lynched D1 mirite??

Keyword is eventually & yer leaving out the keyword in "would likely get it eventually" -- ask yerself this, if a fair coin is flipped once and comes up heads does that then mean the next time is MUST flip tails??????? DEPENDENCE VS INDEPENDENCE OF EVENTS MY FRIEND!!!  Cheesy

Nope!!!  Cheesy probabilities of getting the wagon profile you describe here with such a low sample size (a few games really???), barring ALL external factors (manipulation, bad logic, shite players etc) conform to a t-curve of probabilities!!!! we could easily go 3 or 5 or 2 or 6 games before getting this kind of profile under your idealized parameters, fine sir!!!!!1111!11!!!!  Grin
