I'm gonna go through the players list and note everyone I have a null read on right now.
Boomslang
Bullzeye
DFaraday
Dunny
Jan
leetic
[Nerolunar]
nijuukyugou
[rabbit8]
sig
Simon
Spacedaisy
[Brackets] mean "I think this person has been replaced, but that doesn't really change anything."
I hope I can make this list shorter by the end of the day.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
Because I'm bored and trying to kick myself in a new direction, I'll do a GTH exercise on myself for the players not listed above.
Bass - TOWN
Dom - TOWN
Elohcin - SCUM
Golden - TOWN
insertnamehere - TOWN
LoRab - TOWN
MacDougall - SCUM
nutella - TOWN
Quin - TOWN
Russtifinko - SCUM
Scotty - TOWN
that list is shorter than the other list. this is a problem. Elohcin is the first person I'll investigate from this list. I'm not entirely sure why my gut says to put a scum read on her but I'd like to find out!

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 0]
Elohcin is not a player I have much success at reading in the past. I know we have been in a few games together, but I can't specifically recall individual games off the top of my head. Regardless, I often find myself struggling to come to a decision on her alignment. SO um let's begin.
Her first votes:
That said, I have read a little about the dueling aspect. I think we ought to put up two people we are suspicious of. I know this means that the winner (even though we are suspicious of them too) will get benefits, but really..how often are we actually right about our suspicions? And with this many people playing, I can only imagine that we will be less accurate about who is good and who is bad. We might as well try to get the baddies out even if that means one may have a chance win/receive benefits. Anyway...that's my two cents about the situation. ta-ta for now.[/quote]
]that she was behind and lacked motivation to catch up and then dropped these two votes, I assume near the Day 1 deadline. Wilgy turned out to be a bad guy I believe, so that's neat. Bubbles is good, but blind Day 1 votes aren't supposed to be 100% accurate. I do not doubt the sincerity of her lack of motivation to catch up - I think that is a common feature of her game (not a critique, just an observation). But this is one of the reasons I have difficulty reading her. Something like this isn't alignment-indicative for her, but it's also a very very easy way for a bad guy to float through.
Her next few posts are a series of questions directed at Sorsha and MP about their willingness to be voted for and sent to the duel. She asks them both a variation of "Aren't you afraid you'll lose", which suggests at least a little that she's sincerely questioning the thought processes of these two. Good look.
Then she expressed vague support of Quin and CapsFan suspicions. Quin challenged her on this and they had a brief back-and-forth and both came out of it feeling good about each other, I think. Looking at it now, I am inclined to agree with their assessments of each other.
My gun-to-head scum read on Eloh has turned into an informed tentative town read.
First post is the standard announcement of future inactivity. I don't object to this. I've seen Elohcin do it before in games when she was town.Elohcin wrote:Hello everyone! I know, I know...I am in a game with like a million players. And I said I would never do it again. But the thing is, if I didn't sign up, then Epi's game would never get played. I mean, hell, he needed every active Syndicater in order to start the damn thing!! And then some, honestly. I see Simon is playing. He isn't even a regularly active Syndicater.
I have a question for the host. Can we vote for ourselves to be prefect?
Her first votes:
In her previous post she explained at length Everytime I have a chance to come look at this thread, I see three (or more) more pages have been filled during my absence. All of a sudden I'm overcome with an extreme lack of motivation. Kind of like the feeling I used to get when I would go to the gym, walk up the stairs and see the row of treadmills waiting for me to walk aboard and move my legs over and over again in a running fashion without the ability to change my geographic location. I mean, it's a severe lack of motivation!Elohcin wrote:Done with work (for now) and I realized I gotta choose two people pretty quickly. So, another 3 pages to read, but I don't have time. I voted wilgy and bubbles.

This post I like. She's engaging in a few different discussions and providing solid commentary of her own. But then she realizes she's still far behind and goes off to do something else again rather than letting this game exhaust her. I admire her for that.Elohcin wrote:I was thinking the same thing. And Epi usually accepts group PMs if I remember correctly, so even if there is one active player, they should be able to submit the kill, I would think anyway. However, we have to keep in mind all the secrets and other crap loaded into games like this. You never know what could have happened. Benefits were given out to the prefects as well as the winner of the Day 1 Duel. So....maybe one team was inactive and the other had something working against them. Not sure. But I am with you that there has to be at least some inactive baddies b/c there are so many inactives in the first place.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:So, we have two baddie factions that are supposed to kill each night and neither of them did. Is an entire team filled with inactives?
There are obviously other possibilities, but this game is as lurker-loaded as anticipated so it could be.
Also, I like your theory on MM.
Shoot, I looked at that post from Epi and I thought....."whatever, moving on," There's probably something like a 90% chance that Zhuge Liang is wrong. MM, you're just having fun and stirring the potMetalmarsh89 wrote:Epignosis posted it, and he knows your role.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:What's yer beef, Marmot?Metalmarsh89 wrote:I'm only sad that I couldn't face DrWilgy in a duel myself.
Nobody died, there are two mafia teams that can kill. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them missed their kill.
And in other news, JaggedJimmyJay is bad.
Oh my goodness....I am reading and making comments on posts and then I get to the bottom of the page and there are three more pages to go! I think I'll go watch some tv.

Driveby votes again on Day 2, again nailing a scum with one of them. Russ is still a mystery and I placed a Scum GTH read on him as well. So we'll see. While I'm not a fan of driveby votes because they make it difficult for me to play my game, I do not hate these votes from Elohcin. It's just her thing, and the marmot vote does have some justification to it, in the post I quoted before this one.Elohcin wrote:The day is ending soon. I voted MM and Russ.
Suggests that one or both of her Day 3 votes may be forced by outside mechanisms.Elohcin wrote:I voted Sorsha and TH. I have my reasons but probably shouldn't share them with the class.
An observation with a joke about how she fits the MO of what she's pointing out. Could be WIFOM, could be a simple recognition of the connection.Elohcin wrote:Looks like they're killing the talkers. Baddies must be people who don't like to read.

Her next few posts are a series of questions directed at Sorsha and MP about their willingness to be voted for and sent to the duel. She asks them both a variation of "Aren't you afraid you'll lose", which suggests at least a little that she's sincerely questioning the thought processes of these two. Good look.
I think Russ later corrected her on the point that he had asked to be voted for, but this is the third time that Eloh has contributed to a scum lynch. Yeah bussing is a possibility, and there's two teams, but she's now helped lynch a member of each team and from a player as loosely committed to the game as Eloh is, she could safely avoid having to bus teammates very easily, especially early in a game of this magnitude. I like this.Elohcin wrote:goodness, this page is being nutso. Okay, according to Niju, Russ wanted to be voted for. And I know MP did too. SO I voted for those two.
Then she expressed vague support of Quin and CapsFan suspicions. Quin challenged her on this and they had a brief back-and-forth and both came out of it feeling good about each other, I think. Looking at it now, I am inclined to agree with their assessments of each other.
My gun-to-head scum read on Eloh has turned into an informed tentative town read.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
No one needs to read that post. I was just doing it for my own sake. Do if you want, but it's just the tl;dr way for me to say "I think Elohcin might be town."

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
Boomslang shouldn't be a null read. He has enough posts.
He does turn things around when he returns from his vacation on Day 2, calling Jan out as his top suspect. I like this post at face value. It's the exact opposite of what I criticized him for above.
Boomslang's participation the last few days has been lacking and I'm mostly interested in hearing some current thoughts from him, if he's able to share.
I don't feel great about his ISO, but I don't feel terrible. For the sake of choosing sides, I'll mark him as a slight scum read.
Gives an excuse for inactivity, but what I don't like about is that he masks it as a reason not to be voted Prefect. He's telling us he won't be here and framing it as something helpful. I feel like a hypocrite because I just said I didn't mind Eloh doing something similar in her entrance to the game, but oh well.Boomslang wrote:I'll also have a period of limited activity coming up (next weekend vacation in Gatlinburg, woo!), so I should pass on the prefect thing as well. Though I have been spending an inordinate amount of time on Internet politics groups, so maybe I am qualified? :P
I've seen people present the argument that scum players tend to latch onto discussions about mechanics and strategy early on, rather than investigating particular players, and not's an argument I disagree with. If we consider that here, Boomslang doesn't look too great. It's impossible not to note that we've already caught one scum doing this, as MP's the one who brought it up in the first place.Boomslang wrote:Ah, MP, always wanting to talk mechanics :P I can see where you're coming from; if we were able to identify a strong dueling civ, we could put him or her up against the suspect for a better chance at a death. However, and this is important, the rules for warriors say "most likely to win in a duel." It's not a guarantee, it would seem. On the negative side, that strategy would identify good NK targets for the baddies. And if we try to get two baddies in a duel and succeed, one of them is destined for deathMovingPictures07 wrote:So who wants to talk about this duel mechanic? It seems we would want to nominate the two most suspicious players (in lieu of one) similar to lynching, but is that necessarily the case? What if a player is suspicious but has a role type that is stronger in duels and keeps winning them? What do you all think?![]()
However, the civs have many more warriors than the baddies. So picking one from each list (suspected civs and suspected baddies) for each night might actually be a good call.
Linki: Just as JJJ put a little more eloquently.
A continuation of the same thing.Boomslang wrote:I agree, but that's assuming we have two really good baddie reads on any given night. If we pick a known or highly suspected civ at random, we have a 75% chance of getting a warrior, which puts us in pretty good odds for a fight.Dragon D. Luffy wrote: Honestly picking 2 suspected baddies seems like it has a way higher probability of working.
He does turn things around when he returns from his vacation on Day 2, calling Jan out as his top suspect. I like this post at face value. It's the exact opposite of what I criticized him for above.
Another good post and a solid observation.Boomslang wrote:Um... you didn't actually mention either of them in previous posts? I agree random votes are a no-no, but you just seemed to make two.Nerolunar wrote:I'm voting birdwithteeth and timmer. Random votes are just a no-no, despite how dificult this game is/seems to be.
Pretty thorough post that covers quite a bit of ground and takes strong stances on lots of things. I like it a little, but I feel like I have seen this type of thing from scum before. When they feel the need to catch up and get involved, they toss out a bunch of reads all at once so as to appear substantive. I'll see how things progress.Boomslang wrote:Alright, finally got time to sit down and work through this thing. Thanks for keeping posts under a thousands per day, fam :P Very glad the MM suspicion turned out, and I'm not surprised by the JJJ prefect kill. Kind of surprised INH and Scotty haven't been attacked yet, but then again, INH hasn't been much of a force in the thread. Some of my thoughts thus far:
I really liked nutella's defense against MP. I thought the second point, where she called him out for misrepresenting her attack on Dom, was particularly cogent. MP highlighted the "annoying" part while ignoring the meaty "sufficient content" and "voting behavior" reasons. That kind of deliberate misdirection pings bad to me.
I think LoRab's read on TH is very good. There's opportunity for WIFOM, but TH does seem too chummy with MM at the start, and I think "Or I could always vote myself so that I can duel the marmot and bring honor to my home." is a big red flag. It would be a way to take a vote out of play for a teammate in a seemingly selfless manner. Also, I see a possible motive for the immediate JJJ nightkill. JJJ asks why TH has beef with MM, and TH just shrugs it off with the silly "He made rude remarks about the size of my ancestors' bellies." Killing JJJ could be a way to eliminate followup questions today?
I don't like Nerolunar just kind of shrugging off my criticism of his D2 votes. The distinction between "random" and "impulse" votes seems spurious, especially when he says random is "being indifferent about the voted players" and then that his impulse votes were based on Timmer and BWT being "careless and uninterested." I don't get excited to vote for players who seem uninterested; carelessness is a slightly better criterion, but he provided no specific evidence. Can you back that up from thread posts, Nerolunar?
Jan continues to seem more baffled than someone should be. "Why wasn't anyone killed?" has plenty of reasons, and it's worth conjecture on why. That's the second time Jan has said something that seems to show a carelessness with thinking through the rules.
This is a good post in which he expands on some of the thoughts he laid out earlier and even goes off into some new thoughts. It looks like a genuine attempt to catch baddies. BUT two scum teams means scum can still be genuine. Why is this game so hard?Boomslang wrote:I'd say a careless player needs to be carefully vetted until we can figure out what's going onDom wrote:Boomslang, does a careless player mean an evil player that needs to be kept on the other side of the wall?Case in point is Nerolunar. "I guess you could say I am guilty of saying the same thing, which I kind of am
Ugh. I am a goddamn hypocrite." I really don't like this defense. If you're calling your own behavior out as shady, you're asking us to trust your civility on nothing but your word. I agree with the punishment of BWT's self-voting, but that's about it.
Meanwhile, Caps continues to dig himself into a hole. "I didn’t expect anyone to actually vote me," he says, after claiming "I would be comfortable being voted for." Why even say that in the first place, then, if you weren't prepared to shoulder the consequences? I really don't like that back and forth.
Following up on my D2 suspicion of Sorsha, I haven't seen anything to change my mind for the better, and there are a few things that change my mind for the worse. "I don't know if I'd have voted for prefects at all" is a third instance of being flippant about the game. Claims to be "ok with an MM vote," then self-votes and puts one on the absent INH. I see someone trying very hard to avoid making waves, and I don't like it.
Linki w/Scotty: I like the idea of following the WIFOM through its conclusion, but...
Linki w/Rico: UHM, indeed.
Hm. These are not unprecedented reads in Boomslang's ISO, but looking at this post in the full context it is now a bit surprising to see him name TH and Sorsha, not Jan or CapsFan or anyone else, as his top suspects. Obviously townies are allowed to change their minds, but I'd be curious about an explanation of Boomslang's thought process between this one and his first big post of reads.Boomslang wrote:Four hours is still a chunk of time, and for once I'll be able to stick around through the end of day. Right now, I'd say my leading suspects are TH and Sorsha. I think we should call the big WIFOM bluff that LoRab identified, and as I posted recently, my initial suspicions of Sorsha have intensified over the days. I'm also feeling worse on Nerolunar and Caps; Jan is on the back burner for now, because all I really have for that is carelessness.Sloonei wrote:You've shared a good amount of suspicion against various players, but I'm having a tough time gauging the strengths of a lot of these suspicions. The day is ending relatively soon. Who do you plan on voting for?
Boomslang's participation the last few days has been lacking and I'm mostly interested in hearing some current thoughts from him, if he's able to share.
I don't feel great about his ISO, but I don't feel terrible. For the sake of choosing sides, I'll mark him as a slight scum read.

I can't play much this day phase, realistically I probably won't be able to check in again. I'm not sure if scotty has replied to me yet but I have to vote. I'll give scotty time and vote for a couple of people that aren't apparently here and playing.

I've seen conflicting opinions on DFaraday now. Someone, I think it was nutella, called him a strong town read the other day and now you're listing him as a potential suspect. I'd be interested to hear what people have to say about him.Dom wrote:Elohcin maybe. INH. Still don't feel good about DFaraday.Sloonei wrote:Yesterday you voted for Mac and Bass.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
Not to take away attention from the other two you mentioned. I already ISOd Elohcin today and came out with a slight town read on her, and I encourage others to respond to my thoughts. INH is someone I should also take a more thorough look at.

What do you mean with regards to DFaraday? What did he do that initially brought your attention to him, when did his participation drop off and why do you see this as a bad thing?

Sloonei elaborate on your gth scum read of me. I find it interesting that you said nothing of me like that until I criticised you.
Also what kind of discerning civ absolute reads anybody the way you read Bass and Quin. Matter of factly declaring them civ is very much the same reason I criticised you in the first place. You are manipulatively controlling the discourse. Darth Sloonei.

When you were civ, you decided, even though you had never played with me before or only just once or twice , that you knew my game. You went hard after me. You weren't wrong in those games, BUT when I said that you didn't know my game at all-- you levied even harder attacks against me.
But when the tables have turned and now people suspect YOU, you cry out that your accusers *don't really know your game*.
OK. I'm not archetypical. That's not the point. The point is that at this point, many Syndicaters have played with you far more than once. We might not be *experts* on you, but we definitely know you better than you knew me in our first game together.
So to claim that it is suspicious for me to do something because you knew it was part of my bad game when you had never played with me before AND THEN to go on--several games later--saying the same thing I did when we HAVE played with you now SCREAMS to me as someone just repeating hollow statements in an attempt to save your own skin.
You keep repeating that you probably aren't Yellow Turban or Nanaman because tht means we shouldn't lynch you when there are several indepdendent candidates for lynching. Your actions SCREAM bad, but--hey-- maybe I just haven't played with you enough.

It is true that you did do what I am doing as Mafia against me but I am certain you would have made the same defenses against me in those games if you really were a civ. Do you agree?
I also haven't kept screaming those points. I posted a couple times. You are exaggerating a lot to enhance your point here. I as a civ have a responsibility towards self preservation as much as any baddie. Your exaggeration isn't a bad sign. That's a civ tell in Mac land but it isn't a good way to lynch right.
Of your several paragraph attempt to frame a serious argument towards my lynch you haven't referenced a post specifically. That is a real good sign your case is based on emotions. It is lazy case building.
You are tunneling me because you are Dom and I am Mac and you can't help but take an adversarial position against me. It is the way of things.
As wifom as it is, if I was bad you would be my first kill in any game.

I am very capable of finding the post.MacDougall wrote:For you to claim you have a solid grasp of my civ game to the point of being able to observe that anything I do is in keeping with it is absurd. And if you are producing that as case quality evidence then how is my tone in keeping with the Mafia me, whom you would have more experience playing with I believe.LoRab wrote:I don't think I've ever seen a baddie silencer who didn't silence a teammate at some point in the game, usually multiple times. So point 3 doesn't hold for me.
My challenge with you is that your tone is off. It's not just that you're phoning in the game, it's that the way you state things isn't in keeping with your civ game.
Also, that you completely discount anyone that suspects you, not only as being wrong, but painting them as being bad because they suspect you.
That isn't going to keep me from suspecting you. And, honestly, only makes you look worse to me.
Also, there are evil indies in this game, so saying that you're not on either mafia team doesn't really convince me that you are civ.
I am not painting anyone who suspects me as bad. I was just dishing out some standard brand omgus so meta in essence it wore itself as a hat. But you wouldn't pick that up because despite your belief that I scum read you in every game, here we are yet again with you scum reading me. Have you ever not?
This has nothing to do with some sort of Mac v. Dom argument that you seem very intent on keeping going. It took me 7 Game Days to start to suspect you. This is not just an adversarial *Dom and Mac always disagree and suspect each other* thing. We hadn't thus far. don't dismiss me like that. It's not a good look, my friend.
In fact, one of my biggest criticisms of you is your repeated can't be YT or Nanman tune. You ignore the possibility that you've been recruited (of which there is at least one chance you have been) are the recruiter, are a nefarious independent....
So, yeah, you're bad.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 2]
And since we're still on the misrepresentation thing:
That's just about all I said on the issue at the time, so if there's anything else I can address,
I assume the enlarged are primarily what you are referring to. The first statement, to me, makes it sound like you established already that you think Bass is good but that could change later if he doesn't post. I found that odd, because you hadn't made any indication about already thinking Bass was civ before that. I did correct myself once I'd realized what you meant though.DFaraday wrote:That's not really answering the question of why you voted Scotty and JJJ. And you think Bass is a good guy?Dom wrote:Lyin' Scotty is teaming up with Tricky Jay in an alliance to take me down!Scotty wrote: -Domald voted for me and JJJ. Let's see what he had to say about suspicions:Wait, that's funny. It looks like he meant to vote DF and Bass, but accidentally voted for me and JJJ. Whoops, must be some mistake. Because I just reread all his posts multiple times, and the only time he expressed any sort of sentiment toward me is when I criticized his posting gimmick and he called me "sad". He doesn't really mention JJJ as far as I can tell.Dom wrote:And there's this DFaraday guy. This DFaraday guy-- he's just... well.. do I have to say it? He's not good. No good at all. Lies and twisting the fact like the crooked media. Rooting against me.DFaraday wrote:I'm not liking Dom's rationale regarding Bass. Since Bass is generally a low poster, that feels like Dom is setting up an easy excuse for voting down the road.
Also Sorsha wanting to vote prefects sounds like a bad idea to me. I get the impression that prefects have important abilities or something, so why would we want to put them up to lynch right away?
Listen folks, Bass better stay active. Otherwise he's saying empty promises and looking to be ignored. That's just despicable. We, as a game, cannot let him get away with this, folks.
(c) Paid for by Dom/NJU 2016.
Dom and Bubbles are my top priorities today. I will most likely be voting there.
Why would I vote bass? Right now-- I think Bass is a good guy. That could change. I have explained why in the past. You can look it up-- plenty have written about it.
Folks, don't trust Lyin' Scotty and Tricky Jay. Lyin' Scotty looked for an opportunity to seize power without any sort of content. Tricky Jay has used bad thinking all game. Not good, folks, not good.
(c) Paid for by Dom/Nju 2016.
Also, you say that you think Bass is a good guy, a claim which is not supported by your previous interactions with Bass:
Dom wrote:Better keep this guy to his promise. I know this bass guy very well and believe me, if this post comes and flakey happens-- plenty of people know it's true that he's bad.Bass_the_Clever wrote:On a side note it feels so good to play with everyone again and have enough time to keep up with the thread.

If you aren't active, let's just say something else might be going on. I don't know what, but something else! Believe me. For sure !

So first you establish a potential suspicion of Bass to come back to later, but don't actually vote him, instead going with guys you haven't provided reasoning for. Then when questioned, you've thought Bass was good all along? Dom is flip-flopping more than...some sort of public official.
That's just about all I said on the issue at the time, so if there's anything else I can address,

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]

I gave you a scum read because I did not like your post directed at me to start the day, and I still do not get the criticism, even when you reiterate it here. I am not controlling or manipulating anything. I am sharing my reads and trying to work things out. You usually fling shit with the best of them, but this particular accusation feels a bit too weak and bullshitty to me. You seem to be criticizing me because I am takking abot things that I find suspicious. That is not manipulation of censorship of any topics. That's just me trying to solve the game. Everyone is welcome to discuss everything.
And I am also sick of talking abot Bass and Quin. They were at the center of the conversation all day yesterday, and seemed poised to remain at each other's throats all day. I am reading them both as town and, even if I am wrong, I think a continued focus on them right now is unproductive. I want to talk about the other 30 or whatever players in this game.
Dom does not look good on this page.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
I have no interest in sending you to the duel and I think this sort of behavior just functions as a dostraction to the town. I am not sure I believe you are deliberately distracting people, but I think people are getting distracted by it. I still believe we should be prioritizing votes for players who we find suspicious, not sending people to the duels so they can possibly get a treasure.Bass_the_Clever wrote:Ok im sorry everyone this is the only time I have to check on till after the poll ends so I need to vote.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
I'm kind of uncomfortable voting for bass again since he presumably just got a prize and is so eager to duel again. I feel like he is not supporting the civ cause, whether deliberately or inadvertently I'm not sure. I'm going back to voting for Russ since he's sort of been forgotten and is slipping by. I'll put my other vote on INH.

I voted Bass. I'm sort of reeling back on my determination that he's bad, just because of how adamant he is about doing whatever he thinks he's trying to do, but I'm still not convinced he's civ.
I also voted Dom. That old case against him didn't go away, I just stopped pushing it. Now, he's trying to reflect the actions he used in a game where he just so happened to be bad on Mac, who's doing the same thing, even though in context it's not incredibly alignment indicative. This is a question Mac posed to Dom who completely avoided it.

Re: Romance of the Three Kingdoms [Day 8]
trying to read so much in a short time causes everything to get a bit jumbled in my mind, but I had decided to put one of my votes on Russ. I'm wondering why he disappeared, after winning duels against people from both bad teams. That is not proof of badness, of course, but I have questions where he is concerned. Other than that, I'm not sure who I'm voting, maybe Scotty or Mac. I still have time to reread them before tonight.nutella wrote:I'm kind of uncomfortable voting for bass again since he presumably just got a prize and is so eager to duel again.
