Oh yeah, unfortunately I stopped following this game with the revolving door of company Daisy and I had the past week and a half, but speedchuck and Jack clearly put in a ton of effort and dug us out of a pretty bad spot. They deserve recognition for that as well. I really appreciate them carrying us through to the win. You guys were obviously the best teammates I could have asked for, and sorry I couldn't do more myself. :beer:

I just know how it is to be on a losing town team despite an initial good effort and how demoralizing that can be, so I wanted to go out of my way to make sure you all know that there was some seriously good performances in this game. Don't let the end result get you down.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Tue Nov 14, 2017 12:03 pm Nobody singlehandedly lost this game. There were numerous factors which contributed to the end result:

~ The total civilian effort was fantastic through 90% of Day 1 and then it fell off of a cliff. The DrWilgy lynch was really bad from my perspective, and it was an unfortunate way to end one of the most active Day 1s we've ever had in a heist game here. It seemed like a great deal of hard work was forgotten at the last minute and the easiest lynch available (the guy being weird) was selected instead of one informed by the discussion.
To be fair to the town as well, part of this was because speedchuck and I made a concerted effort to make the Wilgy mislynch happen. I really didn't want to get lynched on D1. Wilgy put us in a tough spot and in retrospect we both handled him horribly. Our treatment of him was suspicious as fuck and we should have received more beef for it than we did even.

Re: Pirate Mafia [END GAME]

Numerous town players really deserve some accolades for their performances this game, IMO, despite the loss. There was some seriously incredible town play on D1 especially -- LC, Daisy, dunya, and Kyle in particular, though there were many of you all giving a genuine effort. I can say it was really tough for me personally to fabricate content amid all of that, especially being rusty (somehow I haven't been mafia-aligned in forever) and lower on time than I would have liked. I thought we were likely screwed after how much attention (some of it rightfully so) I received on D1 leading to my lynch and having an inactive on our team.

Don't let the game slipping away from you all keep you from seeing what you did right as well, because town looked good at the start of this game.

Well, this is bullshit. This day phase is nonsense and laziness.

I don't really care; go ahead and mislynch a townie, and then lynch LC next. I don't have the time or energy for this; I'm not going to spend time that's more importantly spent with company coming. I probably should have backed out of this game due to the awful timing; I spent more time here than I should have as it is.

Hey, buddy pal friend, not super terribly fond of this here move.
I agree with this. Scumdar10 rating for MP07: 5.9
What was there to agree with? Explain. This is suspicious at face value, like you're just attaching onto a reason to suspect someone.

Even Kyle's initial reaction wasn't ideal, because he doesn't explain what he doesn't like about it once it's apparent I'm gone from the thread, but I'm less bothered by that. I'm bothered by this.
A widespread vote makes it really easy for the mafia to control the lynch. You know this.

"Weird" and "interesting" are words that mafia loves to throw around, while they noncommittedly make no argument or assessment as to why what they're observing is alignment-indicative.

Explain, LC. You look scummy.
People of both alignments use those words. What Mafia do is try to dress word-usage up as alignment-indicative. :eye: It was weird, you live with her, you know exactly how busy she is or isn't, you're not an appropriate player to be putting down a pressure vote on her. It's FAKE.

I still don't like the "trying too hard" accusation because I think that's nonsense, but I wasn't willing to scumread him for it because I know it's one that LC regularly throws at mine and others' direction.

How the hell was he consensus townread during the GTH exercise? If I was caught up, there's no way I'd have given him a town reading.
:haha: More clichés. Player salad indeed. Those are the players that I discussed during the day that I came away feeling suspicious about. You can even see the various levels of my suspicion for those players laid out clearly as Scumdar10 ratings. Naming them all in one post isn't suspicious, it's called consistency, and it was a good way to remind everyone of where I stand for the lynch.

You think you have found a weakness in me to exploit, but you are wrong. And you are going down, tomorrow if I get my way.
Bullshit LC you are so bad, you even seem overly concerned with being consistent which is yet again a more likely trait of mafia than town. AND you’re absolutely misrepresenting me, you know damn well what I meant. Yes, of course town players can use ‘weird’ or ‘interesting’ and do, but at least very soundly in my experience mafia love getting attention on other players without dirtying their hands and that’s exactly what I thought you we’re doing.

Player salad is also a legitimate tell; I just saw your teammates get rightfully caught for it in Seinfeld. You threw out a bunch of different possibilities for your vote and that’s suspect because especially this early you can plant seeds and then flexibly vote for any number of options.

Anyway I am on phone and busy and will respond more later, seriously leaving now. How you can’t even fathom why I suspect you only for you to turn it around on me reeks of opportunism and you’re the one who looks fake.

btw, I could see a DDL/MP pairing as well, given how DDL was hem hawing between MP and Quin and then ended up voting Quin.
I just have to respond and say I think your continued reaction about this is not at all similar to last time (when you were town) and strikes me, in combination with your pre-flip lynch of Wilgy, as OTT.

We have an 8-way lynch tie right now.

That is a lot of spread.
I didn't get to elaborate upon this at the time. I think making sure to apply pressure to as many players as possible throughout a day period is ideal; consensus suspects before the deadline permit mafia to coast, even if the suspect is one of them (allows the others to coast). When the vote gets down to EoD, then it's a different story and the priority shifts from trying to develop reads on as many players as possible to eliminating a player based on the information generated in the 45 or so hours beforehand.

Okay, I will say one thing on this topic, and that is in my experience with hosting/playing these games at The Syndicate, nearly every time I've seen a fake claim in a game here it's been when townies try to cover for the cop, and I've never seen a mafia fake claim until out of complete desperation (their lynch appears imminent and no one buys it).

1. MP pressure voting me is a fucking joke. It's one thing for someone to pressure vote jevwho doesn't live in the same house as me, but cone on. You know I'm not even caught up to the thread, it's not like I'm lurking and hiding. It's a joke, and really easy. Don't get me wrong, it's not definitely suspicious it's just teally easy to look like he's doing something when he's not. Don't let him get away with such a soft pressure vote in the future without questioning it.

2. Fake claiming when done properly absolutely can and has won the civs games. Arrested Development cones to mind, when Turnip Head and MP fake claimed and provided me cover as the cop for two nights, allowing me to find them and out them. Even in Seinfeld I was night killed night 1 because the baddies thought I was role claiming. I wasn't, but it's better to lose a vanilla than a power role N1. Additionally, seeing who the baddies kill based on their fake claims can also help us sort who be good a la seer hunt clear. Fake cop claims can be a great tool for the civs when done right.

3. Dunya, you come from RYM I thought you guys used this type of thing over there even more here. And having heard how great your civ game and instinct is, you arguing so solidly against fake claims not only surprises me but makes me suspect you.

4. My guy says DDL bad. I can't put my finger on why, but in my read my gut spoke and I am sharing it because I usually regret it later. I'll look into an ISO of him tomorrow to see if I can identify why.
LOL, you say it's a joke but -- like Jay, you're a player I like to get a read on as quickly as possible, and whether you like it or not, you respond to it. I agree people should question it. People should question everyone's actions on D1.

Who was letting me get away with it?

Second Hey! Lets get this lynch train started. :srsnod:

I think we should eye people who are to heavy on the role play, it could be used to avoid scumhunting/be left alive out of amusement. However, that shouldn't be the only reason to lynch someone.
didnt like this as a first post.

hey everyone let's look at everyone who roleplays
but let's also not

bad first post. leaning scummy for sig.

the fact that sig posts a few posts immediately before and kyle (my other scumspect) calls out 3 other players itt at the time to give their scumspects but ignores sig also doesn't sit as well with me.

and now I feel pretty good about sig. A scum wouldn't ask the cop to roleclaim as soon as they have a lead on day 1. A scum wouldn't be telling power roles what to do at all on day 1. His later clarification on why 1 PR civ is equal as 1 scum. I can follow that logic. I dig his reasons. I dig his gall. I dig his persona.

overall leaning town for sig.
Explain this logic; it isn't apparent to me.

Re: Pirate Mafia [NIGHT 1]

Oh, and FWIW, Jay was civ in... all these games. Serge was mafia in Turf Wars, Battlestar Galactica was an unconventional game so I wouldn't read into individual alignments there, and Jay and motel room were civ in Mad Max. That might give some insight into this situations.

Ok. Going. See you all later now. For real. :p

Re: Pirate Mafia [NIGHT 1]

Here's the main things Jay had to say about the GTH exercise in prior games, in chronological order, for anyone who cares:

I'll decide what I think of this later. I need to go to bed. Please let me know if I made any errors with your reads, I probably did somewhere.

Hopefully that image is sized correctly. Took forever.
How much later, exactly? While I value your analyses of the relationships with Long Con and the other players, it's interesting that you went from the game that you yourself suggested and hosted, straight to a different tactic as a new source for information-building when you returned to the thread, without even mentioning the game. Perhaps the results were a bit too informative?
First thing: this has next to zero impact on my read of you, Mac, or Golden. Golden is experienced with GTH reads and I don't think he'd flub them anyway. You and Mac were strong town reads prior and this didn't do anything to change that. So a few THOUGHTS:

~ I'm interested to know what your misgivings are with motel room, Zebs

~ Everyone hates me I'm so unpopular :p

~ I'm not sure I've seen Mac talk about bea (sorry if I missed it), so some expansion on that bad read would be groovy

~ It'd be cool if Mac would review my DrWilgy interactive analysis and tell me if he disagrees with any points given his bad read on him

~ Gut reads can turn on a dime if you let them (many of mine just did)

Sorry I know this is much, but I honestly don't think the exercise was very productive. It can be, but it needs a lot of people involved -- especially not just a few people that are already consensus town reads.

Some of my immediate thoughts:

~ I have performed this exercise a decent number of times now, and one thing I have found is that the players who give the most town reads have been more likely to flip mafia than other participants. In this exercise, that would reflect poorly on Quin. It isn't a sure thing, and the sample size is still limited, but this has been the trend I have observed. Quins baddie reads were: Black Rock, ika, Serge, and Nerolunar. While I can on some level understand why someone might feel this way about these players, it strikes me as a bit uninspired for those to be the only four names that Quin's gut was willing to spit out "mafia" for.

~ There always seems to be at least one person who is incredibly paranoid. In this case that looks like it would be Serge (I was also more paranoid than usual and need to reassess some of those M's clearly). This has been a mixed bag in this exercise. I've seen baddies do this to limit their connectivity to their team mates (by obscuring everything under a blanket of baddie reads). I've also seen townies who are just legitimately paranoid. In Serge's case though, I do note that he piled on the baddie reads early in the exercise (8 of the first 9, 9 of the first 11), and after that he leveled off with town reads. This might suggest that he realized his reads ratio had gotten ridiculous, and he had to balance the equation for it to make any sense -- which would be a sign of insincerity.

For a while I had noted a trend in this exercise in which people who call out the most town reads are more likely to be bad than the mean. However, it didn't work out that way last time I did this (in Turf Wars when town Quin was that guy). In this case S~V~S wins that dubious honor, but I can hardly blame her when I am right behind her in the count. Besides the two of us the others seem quite paranoid with double-digit baddie counts. I think that's a somewhat nice look for them. Overall though I don't really have immediate thoughts stemming from this. Its usefulness will probably be in future analyses when these stances can be critically examined.

Some of the results in the latter list are a little surprising, like the strong town-inclined reads on juliets, the clean baddie sweep for sig, and the absence of any baddie reads on cylognosis. We might be moving towards the obligatory Lynch Sig Day that no game is complete without. :dark:

I do not remember this trend. Results may be skewed if it's already a "trend".
I don't have the true stats in front of me, but I've probably done 15 GTHs like that and that has proven true over half the time (which is more often than randomness would dictate).

Consistency can fuck itself. I don't care.

It should be noted though that the rainbow list was the result of extensive analysis -- head stuff.

GTH reads are all about gut stuff. Sometimes there are differences.

...and that was probably a waste of time, lol, but a bunch of folks in this game haven't done GTH before and/or didn't play a lot of these games. Not sure how helpful this is, but hopefully it is somewhat at least to some of you all. Off-topic, but I need to get with Jay and possibly Rico sometime outside of the game and see if we can actually compile reliable, meaningful data for this exercise somehow.

I really, really need to work now. I'll be back late tonight to catch up on the thread and throw out an updated rainbow and hopefully do some more thorough ISO digging if I have time.

TMI = too much info, it means I think that player is mafia and spewing their extra knowledge that someone is town because in a one-team mafia game they would know who all the town players are

Alright folks, here are the results from the GTH exercise.
Jay introduced this concept to our site in the Economics game, which served as the first informal crossover of RYM folks over here. I've been doing some digging and I'm trying to find where Jay explains his findings so far on it. I remember when he introduced it in that game and said it was mostly experimental because he picked it from the Mafia Championship and just recently started using it. But I could have sworn there was a game where he summarized some trends he's found. I'll keep looking.

Anyway, some immediate thoughts I had:

- Kyle identified exactly 3 scum. I thought Jay said in a previous game he's found scum are more likely to be hypersensitive to the number of scum in a game so they're more likely to fit their reads to that restriction, which would be a bad look for Kyle. But I need to confirm this; I may be fuzzy on this because this was a while ago, and inevitably trends are just that, trends, and individual players and situations can shake these things up.

- I also recall Jay saying that there's a trend in baddies townreading more players than not, but in this case that would mean I'm bad, and that's not true. :noble: I need to confirm this as well though.

- LC and sig are the most consensus townread players. Based on what I'm familiar with at the start of the game, the LC consensus isn't surprising, but the sig one is. Note to self: need to look into this and see what people have said about sig itt.

- Apparently, I'm the least consensus townread. Thanks guys. :disappoint:

I'll mull over this some more and hopefully I can bring in what Jay and others have said about this exercise in the past. Inevitably it's limited and experimental, but hopefully it'll assist in some way in providing information or at least in generating meaningful discussion. Thanks for the participation.

But... now I've spent way too much time here when I should be working. I'll do some really quick digging on this because it'll bug me if I don't, then I'm out of here for a while.

i don't know how correct my gun to head reads are.
Oh, I'm still not even familiar with half the thread content except for those ISOs I very quickly dug through, but that's GTH for you. Forces everyone to take a stance. It not only can be informative later when hunting but also can help people figure out how they really feel about everyone else in the moment. Always gets me to do some soul searching as to why since there's typically at least one of my own reads that surprises me.

Anyone else who wants to provide GTH reads should do so, even if it's more ideal to do them in this context.

Thanks for participating, folks, and to Daisy for suggesting it. Let me whip out Excel and post a summary, then I really need to get back to work.
