I had a feeling you would use this tactic at some point. Does your read look a little bit fabricated folks? Claim it as "nuance" and make known your disapproval of such outdated terms as "good" or "bad" in regards to reading other players. :rolleyes:
Oh, ok.

I'll expect all of your rainbow lists to be 'confirmed town' or 'confirmed scum' from now on.
Right, because a simple read is so much to ask that if given, it might as well be public knowledge as encyclopedic fact.
No, no, I gave simple reads.

You just don't like that 'slight scum' and 'strong scum' are different.
No, you just wish that was the case because then you can give a justified reason to vote me. :P

You said to MM that his case (sorry, the extra work after the case) made you consider voting for Sloonei. Then more recently you said that it was Sloonei's move away from a Frog vote that made you think he was bad. I don't see any distinction on your part between slight and strong scum, I see a contradiction.

Your hunch looks more like a preemptive defense (to an accusation that I don't think has been made yet) than a genuine effort to scumhunt. Beautiful. If there's any distancing going on, it's not Sloonei and Marmot. It's you and Marmot.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage

VOTE GOLDEN

I was thinking these responses would make me less confident about my read, but they're actually making me much more confident in it.

linki - No, I agreed with you that the ENTIRE case was flawed. MM's suspicion of Sloonei didn't sway me before or after his "extra work" brought to light that Sloonei's read of Frog was mafia. I knew that when I ISO'd Sloonei before MM elaborated on his case to begin with. You're trying to change the focus of this back-and-forth. It's not about MM's case on Sloonei, it's about your reaction to it. Mine makes sense whether you agree with it or not, but yours does not. It's inconsistent. You're not going to win me over by bullshitting me about what I did.

I wasn't wrong at all, MM. Your case on sloonei was shit, because you hadn't demonstrated any context. I don't have to do your research for you.
Bullshit.

Haha, and this is a good example of what I was talking about when I said that Golden seems to be trying to make his reads look natural and failing.
No, it really isn't.

Marmot is being deliberately misleading. His first case was shit. I prompted him to do extra work. The extra work was both unexpected to me, and fundamentally did shift my perspective on how good his case was. It was only AFTER he added to the case that I put sloonei on my list of 'players to lynch' (hardly a concession).

I was genuinely surprised to discover Sloonei had Frog as a top baddie read before that. It was persuasive. It still is, as you'll find out soon when I fully talk about my hunch. But, I'm doing my catch up first.
Um...that's totally a concession. You gave him credit and everything. What???

Yeah - you've been in games where I've addressed this so you will probably see the wisdom in what I'm about to say - Star Wars, for instance, where bcornett was trying to paint me as bad?

The hurricane of self-assurance is a guaranteed town setting for me. You won't see it when I'm bad.

But the inverse is not true. I have many different ways of playing as town. It's just that the 'hurricane of self-assurance' is an easy read. It's a style I developed and became known for on RM when I got a few roles that were hard to NK in short order. I didn't play that way in champs either. I did in Dune... why? Because my role allowed me to figure out other players roles. I did in Turf Wars... why? Because I didn't really have time to play and wanted to have a big impact and be nked early.

I'm trying to simulate how I'll play in the champs game here, as closely as I can. I'm thinking about what I'll do stylistically etc. I certainly doubt I'll be playing hurricane of self assurance in that game. Especialyl because I want to set up a meta I can maintain in the finals if, say, I'm town in heats and mafia in finals. If I'm a town power role, I won't want to stand out. If I'm a vanilla town, I'll want to provide cover for town power roles. If I'm mafia, well, I'll want to blend in.
Perhaps you're not always a hurricane of self-assurance as town, but that doesn't explain why your reads, particularly the development of your reads, feel so unnatural. You don't seem like you don't want to stand out, you don't seem like you're providing cover for town power roles, you do seem like you simply want to blend in and nothing more.

I'll be completely honest, though, and say I was probably influenced by his tone more than his content. I felt like he was trying to be a town leader while spouting echanics that could be easily defeated. Culture Clash may account for the aspects I didnt' like about him.

I do feel his style changed over the day. Early on it felt like he was explaining what he was up to clearly, so I could understand what he was putting in the thread. But, the second half of the day was more like 'x is true, you all suck and are not town unless you take my word for it', which was a complete turn around.
And you suspected him for that turn around?
Yes. It felt like his whole thing (even the drunk posting) was a tactical grab for town cred, to me. That's how I was reading him by end of day. And I feel like I may actually have had that right, that it was a tactical cred grab, and thats why I think maybe my misread was cultural.
I don't buy it. Maybe I'm biased since my catch-up for the end of day made it all the more clear that Frog was town to me, but I don't see how anyone could honestly perceive Frog's actions at EoD to be mafia-motivated. It's unlike you to misread others due to "cultural" reasons.

Because you then added to the case, after I prompted you to do so. You were quite content to make a flawed case to begin with.

Having said that, then when you DID do the extra work, I was surprised to discover your case actually had merit. Doesn't change the fact that I do not agree that your initial case had merit. It was half-assed and flawed, and looked to me like a case that you were portraying just to get yourself off the bottom.

I don't know why you'd expect me to say "I was wrong" for forcing you to build a fuller case. I was quite satisfied with my work.
See Golden, I'm sorry if I'm wrong but this whole post just seems so fake. You only vocalized the distinction between the initial case and the "extra work" after MM called you out on contradicting yourself. If he hadn't have called you out, would that distinction ever have been made?

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage

The first time that Golden's reads felt fabricated to me was regarding his read of me, being the narcissist that I am. Like I said, my baddie read of Golden is primarily gut-based, so I don't have any elaborate theories on the motive behind any of these posts I'm going to pull up here, my only qualm with them is that they don't seem like the genuine town Golden that I have observed to have much more conviction than I'm seeing here. This was the first post that raised an eyebrow.

I appreciate the confidence and that someone actually seems content in helping avoid a mislynch, but let's try and redirect this towards another individual. I'm town reading you enough to not want you lynched either.
Have you considered the possibility she is mafia goon and wants to take you out behind her tomorrow.
Ooooh that's a clever idea. I should try it sometime.
Lol. Nah, sigs right. It's a stupid idea. Oh well, I was just thinking through scenarios.
Thinking through scenarios? To me it feels more like Golden didn't want to civ read me too suddenly after voicing initial suspicion, and as a baddie his interest in making sure his reads don't seem unnatural is more of a priority than as a civ. The irony of this is that, if Golden is in fact a baddie, caring more about changing his reads of others is the greatest evidence that they are in fact fabricated reads, because I don't think civ Golden would be "thinking through scenarios" by suggesting that I'm a mafia goon that wants to take out MP tomorrow. That's too specific and at the same time too absurd of a scenario to consider and propose in-thread for a genuine read. Civ Golden, as I understand him, would either tunnel me more without feeling the need to bring up bizarre theories to justify his suspicion of me, or he would be swayed to town-read me more fluidly and less vaguely.
Golden wrote:I do feel god about zebras responses to me and I'd like to shift my vote but I won't if it leads to an mp lynch.
This could be testing me given that my self-vote was directly linked to a confident civ read of MP, or (and this is what I think) it could be baddie Golden maneuvering his way to what he perceives as a believable change of opinion regarding my alignment.
Golden wrote:
a2thezebra wrote:just that I'm not automatically mafia for being quiet. :shrug:
Oh, no, I never thought you were playing specifically to a mafia meta. But, I do think that a lack of reads and connections (no matter how many posts you've got) is somewhat of a mafia meta on you, at least thats how I feel.
I also find this post somewhat hard to believe given that even at my most vocal I am known for not having a very wide focus (unless I'm just shit-flinging everywhere) both as civilian and mafia, but that might just be me.

Let's go back in time a bit to look at Golden's rainbow list. Given how different it is from whichever hypothetical rainbow list he would have at the end of the first day and the beginning of the current day phase, it makes sense that a baddie Golden would feel pressured to not alter his reads without covering enough back-and-forth territory with other players to make those changes of mind feel justified and natural.

Sure there was a lot of time left in the day, but look at his bottom two. Me, who he ended up town-reading before the lynch, and DrWilgy, who he didn't talk about that much, at least relative to other players. Then you've got Frog, his eventual vote, at the top of his Mild Town list. Mild, sure, but I don't buy the reasoning he gave today for what convinced him that Frog was bad. Trying to seem like a town leader? That was pretty obvious, but why was it alignment-indicative? Why was the comment about night-killing (that Golden claims to have swayed him to an extent) alignment-indicative? I'm just not convinced that Golden's reads in this game are legitimate, but I'd like to see his response to these suspicions first before I make any move.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage

I find it bothersome that two out of my three lynch options that I laid out yesterday were NK'd, almost as if the mafia team is making fun of how poorly I read other players. That is, of course, if both of the deaths were their doing. When Frog flipped civilian I was ready to go after Epignosis, but that of course didn't pan out. So my options for today are Metalmarsh89 who I kept going back-and-forth with yesterday, Dyslexicon who I could just be NO U'ing and OMGUSing to an extreme, and a more recent gut baddie read in the form of Golden. I didn't say anything but throughout yesterday I felt like Golden lacked the "hurricane of self-assurance" factor that he's known for as town. There were also a few times when it seemed like his reads developed unnaturally (me being one of them) as if he was trying to decide whether or not it would look natural to change his mind about something or someone rather than it genuinely happen. I also find his Frog vote lackluster, but the same could be applied to most of the Frog votes in my opinion. For now I have no strong mafia reads even out of the three I just mentioned, so I'll have to wait longer in the day before I place a vote.

Yes.

But for the folks (like Golden) who are entertaining lynching a lurker, they should put Sloonei into that category.
Hmmm....perhaps. As far as lurkers go, I don't think Sloonei is in the same league as some of the others.

Anyway, I gotta go. I'd like to stay until EoD but I can't. Here's hoping we lynch a baddie.

I acknowledge that he falls into that category, I just don't think that that is reason to lynch him. I thought you didn't either? Didn't you have other reasons for suspecting him?

You do realize that going after someone more active is still a fabricated read, right?
no? she made a case on MP, everyone's yelling the case is not true.
I'm talking about when she is mafia (and I think she is here but that's beside the point). When she is mafia, and she goes after someone more active, that is a fabricated read.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage

The problem with the current situation is that neither my town read of Inawordyes nor my mafia read of Metalmarsh89 are strong enough to warrant a vote for the latter to save the former.

Re: Mafia Championship Scrimmage

Although normally I town-read people that haven't played with me before for suspecting me, most of Dyslexicon's points against me seem disingenuous. I could get behind their lynch today as well. So, just as I promised sig some time ago, three lynch options for the day.

Silverwolf
Dyslexicon
Metalmarsh89

Yes I know I'm flip-flopping on MM like crazy, but I can't deny that Marco brought up quite a damning observation recently. Epignosis replacing Long Con does not change that I still find Long Con suspicious, but it does change that I don't want to avoid giving Epi a chance to redeem Long Con's ISO, especially when he seems genuine so far and he shouldn't be lynched before he proves himself.

I'm not saying you are patting yourself on the back. I'm saying you're trying to come across as sacrificial town. This is how I read things. I'm explaining that. If I'm wrong, lol me and all, but this is my reading of what you are doing. And your reaction to me is not making me feel better.

I read her ISO. It didn't help wash away the inconsistency that I perceive her to have, it only made it more clear to me that her read of IAWY is a fabrication. I can't see what town motivation she would have for fabricating a read of someone who she currently has a vote for near end of day.
explain to me how its a fabrication cus she doesnt fabirctae reads. she was scum readding him all day
Anyone who is ever a baddie has fabricated reads at some point. It's literally impossible to do as a baddie with a single mafia team unless you're going to bus all of your teammates, out yourself as a baddie, and correctly identify every civilian. This is what people talk about when they talk about your judgment of Silver being clouded.

And no, she was not scum-reading him all day. She was initially null on him, then she scum-read him for a while, then in response to MP's case she said he was null again saying that his case was superficial and playstyle-based, then she said that she was willing to lynch him and then voted for him. When I called her out on the inconsistency, she said that even as a null read she was more eager to lynch him than any of the other main options. That's disturbing if she is a baddie, and even more disturbing if she is town.

If you would make the former post as any alignment, how are you remotely justified in not liking it because I posted it when you have no idea how much of a troll I can be?
How many hours were left in the day? Why not spend time finding a scum read to make a case on instead of self voting? Looks like gambit scum play, not town play.

And I wasn't justifying it and I'm not going to. I was merely stating my reaction.
I don't know how many hours were left in the day and I didn't care because to me everyone's minds seemed already made up that both MP and myself were bad, and I figured I could at least save one of us by prolonging MP's life enough to convince others that he is in fact not a baddie. Why would I fabricate suspecting someone to avoid a self-vote when my self-vote was perfectly warranted from my perspective?

I also don't know where you got "I'm totes town being heroic." Granted, my self-vote was not a breakdown or anything, but I wouldn't call it heroic either. I figured that my mislynch was inevitable so I might as well get it over with and save MP in the process who I strongly believe is town. It's not that complicated and it's certainly not heroic. I also find it very hard to believe that you legitimately take issue with me having no scum reads simply because I'm constantly having disagreements with people. Are you seriously implying that I should read people as scummy just for disagreeing with them? For shame. I also find it laughable that you ask me to vote for another lurker when I've made it abundantly clear that I am against going for lurkers in general, not just because I was among them at the time of Frog's crusade.

Both sig and Golden have used the "you should know better" shtick before on me specifically, so I think it's fair. Sorry if it irks you though.
I got that from you. I'm talking specifically about you saying you would make up scum reads if you were scum:
a2thezebra wrote:I don't have them, and unlike when I'm bad I'm not going to fake having them just to please everyone into not suspecting me.

I gave you five civvie reads, that's all I have. You should know better because your reasons for suspecting me are based on things that you've seen me do before as town more than once.
I wasn't saying that to imply that I never make anything up when I'm good, only that for this particular game I see no reason to lie about having reads that I don't have.

It is whiteknighting MP. Knights, heros. That is my take on it. And not an unreasonable one at all.

At the time he was the leading lynch and I had a very strong town read of him. You're damn right it is whiteknighting him.

How was it inevitable so many ours before end of day with votes being so close. Like really?

I'm not referring to the day, I'm referring to the game. I still think my lynch is inevitable, even with more and more town-reading me. With this many newcomers such as yourself that are unaccustomed to my theatrics, I'm bound to get lynched at some point.

No, I'm not implying that. I'm finding it really hard to believe that you have no scum reads enough to vote someone else than yourself when your discussion with Frog and Golden i.e reads as if you are at least suspecting them a bit.

I did not suspect either Frog and Golden. I was initially pinged my Frog, but I needed time to meditate on him to conclude whether I saw him as baddie-motivated, and I concluded that he was not. Where in my discussion with either of them did you get the idea that I was suspecting them?

Then I'm very interested to hear why you voted MM and considered voting INAWORD. No.
I voted for MM because I suspected MM for his Sloonei vote. I don't think I have yet to consider voting for IAWY apart from the scenario where I vote for him to save someone I am more confident about.

I guess it was my first instinct (and would probably generally be to such a play), but it's like she's playing it up too much. Too much emphasis that she is being sacrificial and don't want you lynched cause she is such a good town, and oh, how hard it is to find other people to suspect, who would ever do this as mafia, must be town right, or else she'd just bandwagon, and oh she is probably getting lynched (way too many hours before day ends to say that) - and what happens? Votes are off her like that. I see a lot of people not seeming interested in her lynch. Sig, among others (who I suspect).

It just doesn't read town play to me at all. I don't know why it seems to fly with people. Is this normal for her town meta or something? It's not the self vote in itself, it's how it's played off afterwards. She is clearly invested in her surviving.

That's not an accurate impression of how much consideration that I've given you, because I do give a fuck what you think. That's why I find it worth pointing out that your read of IAWY seems extremely inconsistent, and that your response to me pointing that out only made it more clear.
SIgh.......

here, let me give some adivce, instigating her about such things like that is only gonna upset her, you saw me get upset too in heist, we are similar in that sense.

i think the biggest issue we (and yes i use we cus its me too that im seeing) is that both sides of us (ie me and silver vs everyone else) is insinuating that the ohter is wrong. its a matter of interpretation to us. when people just dont openly say "well i disagree for XYZ" for me at least, that's literally saying "nope you're wrong"

and maybe it has been said sevral times like that but we are jsut annyoed that we feel like everyon eis just not actaly taking the POV into consideration and trying to follow up on it
