Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
I also worked compiled this during the past hour. It's basically the order in which final votes happened (of course, it doesn't describe the whole dynamic of the vote, only the "frozen" image of where every vote landed).
Not sure myself what I can get out of it, at the moment, but on the other hand, should we play the "what if b24 is bad" game, there's something interesting about him not having been voted since D2 until today (Wilgy's vote on him, currently), plus on who his D2 voters were.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
HI.
Jumping straight to the last page I think some people have voted for me. I'm going through the thread now to do taht shit I said I'd do and catching up and I'll probably see what you've said against me but please feel free to help me out and shove my face into the relevant posts.
Really sorry for absence, but I'm here for what should be a solid session now.

55% on a player a fair few people have launched suspicions at is such a non-read. So unaccountable. So easy to distance oneself from. This has made me feel like starting the read on you I need to do.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
You know me better than anyone else here, true, but because of that you should have something to work with. I use the word conclusions to imply a process. An example below:I do. I assume that I know you better than anyone else here, and I don't want to make any false assumptions about you. I did make assumptions before day 3, and it was fun, but to be honest since then I've been hung up on day 2. I just noticed that you use the word conclusions. Why is this? Have you game solved already? Should the game have been already solved by others?
Player X has been posting strangely (observation)
Is it likely that Player X Mafia? (question)
Exhibit A, B, etc (evidence)
It is likely that Player X is Mafia (conclusion)
You know this.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
-- This entire thing is fairly decontextualized, given lack of Day specifications and such. Matt's example below will be sort of proof of this decontextualization.DrWilgy wrote: This is all the players that have voted for a confirmed civ, or neutral (assuming mafia aren't night killing their own of course):
What does everyone think of this? I would really like feedback on this one.
-- Sorsha is confirmed civ, I think we can stop suspecting her.

-- Eloh's votes range from non-committal vibe (left-field late Sorsha vote on D2, amidst the b24-LC wagon; solo very early vote on Zebra D3) to suddenly making an impact D4 (7th vote for the main wagon, pushing it further). Today she's contributing to a wagon, as well. Stats-wise, I'd say this pings.
-- Matt's appearences are made to look the worst, but it's actually more drumming on Sorsha until he finally helped mislynched her. Don't know what to make of this, if he's bad, the votes feel like dormant until the momentum finally came for a mislynch. Similar to Eloh, in fact. Would either/both of team take such risks, on D4, knowing they would contribue to a mislynch.
-- Diiny's D4 vote is either a total stinkbomb, for a civ, or a blunder, for a baddie.
-- Sig's votes make the bad vibes return, especially recalling his D1 BWT vote on partial grounds of being "most suspicious" (when in fact his posts would inspire more the idea that LC, a confirmed mafia, would be his "most suspicious" at that point). D2 he's very quickly back on track there with the vote on LC. Now there's also his D3 Golden vote, which I specifically remember it being a switch from me, because of suddenly finding me genuine in my defense fight. I'm damn well civ, so "suddenly"? Hmm.
Question is, though, what are your ideas coming out of this.
I'm still not sure what you're pursuing with this and don't remember you clarifying the algorithm and such. The one time you used this for a vote, your worst looking player came out civ.DrWilgy wrote: also from my scumpoints list earlier, I wanted to present it in another fashion. This shows overall impact on the LC lynch.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
Wilgy only casing LC before the deadline makes me feel uneasy. My tinfoil is gently screaming into my ear that it could be a bus. It does seem at least somewhat of an original, well phrased and thought through read/case, though, so that's making me feel better. I feel ambivilent about his use of questions; on one hand they suggest a Wilgy who is keen to let a townie long con have a chance to defend himself, but at the same time they're very close to the deadline to the point that their effectiveness at doing so is severely diminished.
Wilgy puts a lot of effort into, as I accused epi of doing earlier, doing the work. That is, objective, stats based work that doesn't require putting out reads per se, letting you appear civ/involved without actually making you liable for any bad shit that happens.
Plus I don't even think he's a real doctor.
cure my overactive scumroid gland if you think that's the case, Wilgy, and give me a read on RadicalFuzz so far, even though it's difficult to read him.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
Questions that allow for a townie to defend themselves whilst also putting the pressure on them and making clear why they think they're scum for the benefit of other townies are indicative of a townie mindset. Prior to his lynch, if Wilgy was a townie then Long Con was potentially a townie in his eyes, too, even if the evidence seemed against him.Ricochet wrote:"I feel ambivilent about his use of questions; on one hand they suggest a Wilgy who is keen to let a townie long con have a chance to defend himself"

Why did you vote Golden on D4, smack in the middle of a two-way wagon conclusion between Sorsha and Devin, not to mention either ignoring or being oblivious to all signs that pointed at Golden's outed civvieness?

Yet, eight minutes prior to that, whilst still in an apologetic way to failing to catch, you said you'd have to decide between the two main wagons, unless you dislike both of them.

I'm glad I didn't vote because it would've probably been for sorsha under the idea that her wagon was saved by a civvy one that quickly overtook it earlier in the game.

General alert:
There are numerous roles in this game that affect the vote tally. It might be necessary to generate a little separation between lynch candidates (at least near to the deadline) to ensure shenanigans are avoided. I hate shenanigans.

Re: [DAY 4] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
Town Diiny doesn't place important, potentially lynch deciding votes without feeling very sure about them. I didn't have that long at all to iso the two players, but, yes, I gave it a shot and decided that there was no way I was coming to a valid conclusion about either of them in the time I had. I feel like a decent vote for a player can't be done simply by isoing them either, there's the influence of thoses posts within the greater context of the entire thread that shapes a vote, too. I'm demanding, but I can't demand reads. That's something I've got to do and didn't have the time to. I couldn't think of anything to demand that would help me out, except third party summaries which I'm against. I'll be the first to admit it's not ideal play, but it was better than ignorantly affecting the tally/lynch.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Diiny, please welcome this to your face.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
Hey townies/civilians/villagers/whatever you want to be called:
I've been a member of The Syndicate since May. A large number of games have been played. I've seen town win zero of them. Zero. Zip. Nilch. Notta. Cero. The absence of a quantity.
That's awful. We should all be ashamed. RYM experienced a horrific lull in town performance in which anti-town factions went 22-3 over a 25 game stretch (I believe). I'm familiar with this kind of futility.
It sucks. I hate it. Let's win, eh? Or let's do everything in our power to make the effort and at worst lose in an honorable fight?
Sense of urgency!

Re: [DAY 4] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
I'm not saying you should have demanded something of others in this spot. I'm saying you should have demanded something of yourself. Even if you don't have the ability to thoroughly analyze the smaller details of each ISO, you're still faced with a critical decision.

Re: [DAY 5] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
Devin asking for a replacement strikes me as odd. If he truly can't play at this point and he's lost interest and is a townie, wouldn't he be more inclined to just sign out and let nature take it's course? Asking for a replacement at this point seems like something somebody with a more minority role would do.

I'm chuffed that you consider me a capable leader, but a good leader also knows when not to lead. And also knows that leading 8 mins before the deadline or whatever isn't exactly leading

What I'm trying to say is that I didn't have a problem with the responsibility of potentially securing either of lynches, it was that to do so wouldn't be reflective of any kind of informed decision, ya get me? I think I showed responsibility: I was concious to vote the towniest, least likely to get lycnhed, no votes guy (golden) instead of someone I actually had a previous scum read on so that I could be held accountable for my decision.
Also, from what you know of me, do you think it's indicative of Scum Diin to be timid, as you're accusing me of being?

Yeah, some people at the Syndicate view all quote-snipping as suspicious. I think it's just common sense if you have one tiny thing in a big big post you need to talk about.RadicalFuzz wrote:I don't know how the RYM forum handles nested quotes, but a lot of the "wall of text" syndrome that's been going on this game has been from people continually quoting each other without properly snipping the quotes. To be fair, sometimes the relevant posts are far back in the quote chain, but it gets ridiculous, especially on mobile.
