I might not have mentioned it explicitly but the implication was more than obvious.

Out of the 6 hours, 4 of that was lectures and about an hour was in transit to get home. I can't come up with scum hunting on the fly like that without it being utterly terrible.

I'm not talking about D1. I'm talking about right now.

The hell was anything contradicting? Also, you need to make your next post completely wisely because I've breadcrumbed a lot of things that you should have picked up and realised by now. There was one part especially for you RB but to be honest, I think you're going to waste it.
The implication was vague. You just wanted a lynch, you probably didn't even care who it was. The implication was just that. You just wanted a lynch.

No, your sentence was talking about D1. On D2, you did not scumhunt anyone at all. You just went for me. D1 was the day when you scumhunt Tanz, Mimi, BRBP. On D2, 3 town died. See the contradiction?

I cannot read breadcrumb (more because of my inability to do so),but I assume it's about me since something did happen to me last night.

Can we just lynch Kanye already

Christ. Prod: Kanye West for the third fucking time

Is there a "3 Prods and you're out" rule

There should be a rule like that

Honestly though, I'm not entirely confident of lynching Kanye. I don't remember playing a game where he was scum, so I don't have firsthand experience of how much he lurks when scum, and I really don't like relying on meta due to its assumptions and how easy it is to trick it, as Rantai pointed out D1.
___________________________________________________

On the other hand, Royston's reasons are starting to look scummy to me. He basically admitted that he put RB on L-1 for "pressure" (which as I've said, is a weak reason) while not actually thinking he's scum.

Frankly I still have a null read on you, the vote was a reaction test simply for pressure.
I'm personally up for lynching scummy people than inactives who are assumed to be scummy due to only meta, so Vote: Royston

Also it's not just the inactivity from Kanye. He basically does anything but IIoA, didn't even mention/gave any explanations why he's inactive, didn't question why he's being suspected so much. I know he's inactive, but still - he has some posts and none of them mention any of the arguments I listed here.

Just come on... isn't this pooting obvious?

there is. if you get prodded 3 times, you technically get auto replaced.

not sure though if it will be enforced here.


I also find royston decently fishy. his reasoning of how he would prefer misslynching over NL when there is no indicator for NL at all is out of place, and his openly admitted acceptance of risking to lynch someone he doesn't even have a nullread is downright scummy. you should never take a relative sure misslynch over potential scumlynches.

@RB: what happened to you this night?
fartownik
I'd rather lynch someone that's heavily experienced in the game and acts scummy as fuck than someone who plays the game first time and makes a potential slip. He might not admit that, but I think voting RB in such advanced way was just a newbie slip. Not seeing it is scummy.
Royston
@Jinxy since you're voting me, who do you think the remaining scum are?

What's the difference between a 'relative sure misslynch' and a 'potential scumlynch'? Either someone's scum, or they're not. What makes you say RB's a relative sure misslynch, anyway?

Yeah, it may have been a poor decision on my part. But the fact that RB didn't get quickhammered shows something, at least.

Remaining scum, you say? Interesting choice of words there.

To humor you, I still have my doubts on fart because of his tunneling and attacks on me D1 (which I still have the opinion that his reasons were ridiculous). Just noticed that he seems to be helping you provide excuses for your L-1 vote, too.

fartownik wrote:

Another thing I don't like is the "newbie" argument, which also works on unfounded assumptions. iirc, NH or someone pulled that argument in some other forum and steamrolled that game because the other players fell for it.

Next in my list would be either Lilac or RB, which I covered 2 posts ago. Their actions pre-N1 are still reading weirdly to me, but it's just a faint suspicion, compared to you and fart.

@tanz, I rather not say until Lilac says. (Or if he is nice enough to quote the post with breadcrumb and I will look from there.)

That last sentence shows you've at least somewhat understand now and I hope we don't have to continue this discussion further, RB.

Unvote. Waking up now.
Lilac
Last sentence as in the post one before your message to Tanz.
Lilac
Vote: Kanye.

I just can't... Even if he does answer his prod, anything he says will be so weak for me because he's not even doing anything. His last post was 3 days ago and his only serious vote was Tanz.

If we think scum is inactive, usually now is a good time to lynch because too late and it's all over.

Tanz...

Are you going to do anything like...productive? For example, give a reason.

Or do I have to recall my 5 years of German to slap your face with?
Tanzklaue
I'm sorry, it's hot as shit over here and I didn't feel like giving much of a reasoning.

my reasoning basically didn't change too much from day 1. still high inactivity, paired with almost no content when he actually posts.

Alright, here we go again. Going though everything again to see if I can pick up anything new. ._. (gaahhh so many posts)

I read through Tanz' longass argument with Sakura in ISO, and, while I originally got scum vibes from his responses, now that I'm reading it, it sort of makes him look town. The reason is, his wording seems to be very town-oriented. He seems to express genuine uncertainty as to whether some people are town or not, but also fully acknowledges that he thought Sakura was town (until the argument started to get stupid). To be honest, I don't think we can make any conclusions from Tanz's posts once the argument got heated; I'm thinking he was getting frustrated that Sakura was tunnelling him for so long, so he's town for now.

Something I noticed about fart's targeting is that he seems to always suddenly find someone to focus on, and then after a short exchange, he'd let them off and be like "well okay, your reasoning seems town so it's fiiiiine". Which is normal, but he pretty much did that for everyone he suspected. However, he did mention something that explains his actions pretty well:

fartownik wrote:

I don't like 1on1 discussions like this because they usually turn out being a Town vs Town fights
Still could be possibly scummy, trying to make debates/look like he's scumhunting without looking like he just want to get someone lynched? We'll see.

Oh, also, I wanted to ask you what this was about:

fartownik wrote:

And if there's a Doctor - you possibly ruined the game for Town.
Royston's recent posts have been making me feel more and more like he's scum. Like... rrgh I don't really know how to explain myself actually. By now, with the exception of Kanye, Royston is far behind in postcount from everyone else. His posts seem to be lacking in content as well. I don't know if he's just playing this game half-assedly, or perhaps he's mafia, and his inexperience is making it hard for him to come up with anything. Though, imo if it's your first game, you'd probably try to make a decent effort right? Because it helps you learn better. Jinxy also brings up a good point on him

Jinxy wrote:

fart proposes that it could be a newbie error... But even if that's so, he could still be mafia and it would still count as a noob error: his vote made himself suspicious without him realizing it. Also,

I don't want to pick on Royston just because he's new, but he literally used this as a free escape from his error.

As for Kanye, his posts tell me that he's experienced enough to be able to play this game proficiently, yet he's not doing it for some sort of other reason. I don't know if we can just call him scum for just not posting, though I also don't know if he's actually just like this. (i was about to write stuff here about how it might be ok actually and not matter to him if he gets lynched but....)
Welcome DakeDekaane~ I hope we can all have fun while there are three votes piled on top of you.

One last thing, I noticed that after the case on BRBP was settled, he almost completely stopped posting. As of this post, he hasn't said anything for nearly 2 days...

......
Oh my god, dammit this post is so long already. Just.... Basically, those are the people who I feel like mentioning most at the moment. I'll look at everyone else probably tomorrow, since this post is so freaking long already and it's getting late too. I doubt I'll have that much to say though. I also get the feeling that I've made numerous errors in this post but you'll just have to bear with me ._.

I've done plenty of reaction tests to establish my reads. If I expected such reaction from the player then I mark him as Town (for now), because it's more likely he's Town than scum by this reaction, and if we can't really base on the lynches/kills this is the way to play the game.

The Doctor didn't protect Sakura - Sakura died. The most powerful role in the game died because the Doctor misread her/done something totally random. Congrats.
Raging Bull
Doctor in the game would be rather game breaking since Sakura will just keep reviving everyone till D4.
fartownik
That's why my sentence said "IF there's a Doctor". Either there's no one or a not very smart one (or scum one, lol).
Kitsunemimi
What if there was a strongman or a SK who decided to target the same person? Do mafia strongman kills count as separate kills from the regular mafia night kill?

If there really is a doc, I don't think they'd be dumb enough to not protect Sakura lol.

Don't wanna be a douche or anything, but Dake - please read the thread asap. We're only waiting for you here.

Ok, I'm done.

Let's take a look at the larger wagons atm.
In D1:

Votecount wrote:

BRBP (5) - Lilac, Jinxy, Raging Bull, Tanzklaue, Kitsunemimi (L-2)
This was before pieguy confirmed BRBP's action. Due to confusion was quite easy to scum lynch him at this rate, smart scum would had finished the day and let the town quite lost, but the fact is that there were at least 2 scum voting there, as BRBP didn't get hammered. +1 Scumpoints to everyone here.

Votecount wrote:

No lynch (6) - Sakura, Kitsunemimi, Rantai, Lilac, Tanzklaue, Raging Bull
Though Kitsunemimi bringed up the NL idea and still doubting if it would be a good idea, scum took advantage from a confirmed town (Sakura) starting the wagon and some other townies, (Rantai) to join here. +1 Scumpoints for Lilac and Kitsunemimi and +2 for Tanz and RB, why? Because they were practically sheeping.

In D2:

Votecount wrote:

Raging Bull (4) - fartownik, Tanzklaue, Royston, Lilac (L-1)
Nice catch for the NL wagon by farto. +1 Townpoints. Royston reasons was quite silly as scum would let a townie hammer and then incriminating him, in case RB is town, but he has a bit of reason when he states:

Royston wrote:

Votecount wrote:

Kanye West (3) - fartownik, Lilac, Tanzklaue (L - 2)
fart and Tanz fishing in inactive pool, really? It's true Kanye's behaviour was like this in DotA, but also was similar in High School (though he posted a bit more) and was town there, so judging by meta is not always the way to go.

It seems that Lilac and Tanz likes wagons, but I'm reading Lilac as town due heavy scumhunting, yes, jumping between people in D1, but with fundaments, contrary to Tanz that always tried to deflect the attention to someone else and jumping around a lot between the large bandwagons, even voted BRBP who was 99% confirmed town in that moment (he's still almost confirmed, that 1%), and voting people due inactivity. So:

Vote: Tanzklaue

If you think RB doesn't want me lynched then vote him, or it's that you don't want him lynched? Adding that Gunsmith doesn't confirm you as town, as scum Gunsmith would still scan for Cop, Vig and PGO.

I'm going more with Tanz now, we can also have Roasted Beef if you want, as he's the next in my list. And Royston in a small amount due sheeping Lilac on unvoting RB, but due the newbie factor I can't get if it's a confused townie or shy scum.

Also you said something about a SK, I don't deny the possibility, as there's the case that Kitsunemimi brings bad luck visiting other people instead getting visited. But I know you won't even like the idea of try to check it as scum would screw the with the possible plans, but these are only ideas of mine, so don't mind too much in this for now (unless we have another death due bad luck).

funny how the three guys who suspect me the most are the same three guys from day 1. still don't have really any good reasoning, but I didn't expect much tbh.

I guess you're taking your votes off Dake now? After all your primary reason to vote Kanye was because of his inactivity and lack of content in posts (Tanz), maybe Dake can fix that. Kanye wasn't active on his own game either, makes it easier to believe he really was busy. Let's see what you can come up with~
you seem so confident in me being scum, and your accusations are quite ridiculous tbh. you shouldn't forget that you aren't a confirmed townie, and that you actually need a foundation yourself in order to proof your townieness. passive aggressive accusations won't help you one bit.

it actually says nothing about the scummyness of a person if he votes NL in order to not get lynched themselves. "I will let you guys lynch me so you can read my wagon after my death!" said noone ever. if you're town, you won't let yourself get killed except if it isn't avoidable or at the cost of people you think are town aswell. and as scum... well scum would never want to die. it's actually another nullread reasoning.

again, scum wouldn't show themselves, at least not this early. a quickhammer would only really occur if a) scum gets voted and the player at L-1 votes himself or b) if you are at LYLO or MyLo and scum would instawin. yet another fallacious argument, they add up by now.

So you got roleblocked? cool.

You were pretty eager for the scum dayvig possibility even being small, but scum gunsmith is clearly more possible if you ask me and it's a safe claim because maybe some townies think you may be useful to find scum, but I'm not that naive. I prefer voting based on acting regardless of PR, though it's not that easy to fakeclaim in a flavored game, but maybe you got lucky.

And you'll keep your vote on me because I'm voting you or because you don't have other suspect? You should have.
And I'm not underestimating Royston, but I won't label him as sure scum yet, he's null but leaning scum for me, the only ones that I have labeled as scum are you and RB.

Sorry but there won't be quotefest, Tanz's are messed up and I won't fix it in a nice way, also scum nervousness is notorious.

RE: BRBP's, Tanz's and Dake's posts above, I don't see anything clearly scummy or flat out wrong, though Dake's vote analysis for D1 does sound null after Tanz's reply. However Tanz's argument for why he is town is biting at me, because some parts feel flawed to me.

I disagree here. Firstly, the Scum Dayvig is unlikely because of how overpowered it can be; it practically gives another free kill for scum, hastening LyLo. On the other hand, as Dake has said, a Scum Gunsmith can still scan for Cops or Vigs. (Not PGO because you're dead anyway)

Wiki wrote:

While a few moderators prefer to defy meta and use Mafia Vigilantes to allow multiple scumkills from a single faction, the vast majority of Vigilantes are Town.
Gunsmiths are usually, but not necessarily, pro-Town.
Secondly, you might claim town gunsmith as scum simply because you decided not to take the risk and fakeclaim something others might really be. I'm not sure what you mean by "control", though. Could you elaborate?
Regardless, I'm pretty sure claiming you got roleblocked last night counts as a lack of control, too, so that point is moot.

@jinxy: actually, gunsmith is rather hard to control in this set up, especially as scum. I thought of the stack the deck game, where watcher was a safe claim, but that's not the case here. also the watcher we had is dead.
overall, I agree that a gunsmith claim wouldn't necessarily make me more town on its own.
