One of my usual takeaways is that the player(s) receiving the most scum reads is/are at least worth heavier scrutiny. In this case, that'd be Jack.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:00 am Some thoughts from the GTH reads:

~ The initial inspiration (hi Quin) which made me think to do these today was the incursion of dunya into the game thread. She replaced a participant in the lower tier of content quantity and very quickly changed that reality for her player slot. I wanted to see how the people viewing the thread live as that developed would treat their sprityo/dunya reads in light of her content infusion. The results indicate that the general negative press on sprityo has proceeded onto dunya pretty seamlessly. I spoke of my reception of her entry to the game -- I'd like to hear how the GTH participants and otherwise feel about her in the immediate present in greater detail.
~ I'm surprised by the even split on Colonel Bob. Through the long night phase he seemed to attract and hold negative press without receiving much support if any. This was one of the more conflicted reads for me, and I may not be alone in that given the lack of consensus.
~ Daisy wins the Paranoia Award. I have seen on a couple occasions seen mafia-aligned players spam the GTHs with baddie reads, perhaps to avoid the dubious distinction in the first tilde here, or just to appear to be struggling with townie terror. I don't get this impression from Spacedaisy. The reads don't appear forced in that there is a clear low-poster trend visible in her B's. The mafia read on Quin was against the grain though, and it'd be groovy if you'd explore that aloud more Daisy.
~ What's your beef, dunya?
~ The primary value of these reads will come later in the form of interactive analyses and the like. For the moment, they serve us best as clear, consolidated stances and a means of exploring how our guts may surprise us and why.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
Jimmy, Idk if you have a big enough sample size but I would love to know player trends.
Like if Daisy always scumreads more people than average, the "scum sometimes scumread a lot" thing doesn't hold. If she usually townreads a lot of people but scumread more on average when she was bad, it becomes a more convincing thing.
Cause really you got three things factoring in.
1) Alignment tendency ie "Baddies tend to gth a bunch of bad reads"
2) Player tendency ie "Daisy tends to gth a bunch of bad reads"
3) How good of a handle the player has on this specific game ie "Daisy is being a bit paranoid this game and has extra bad reads"
So controlling for the third one is hard. Is controlling for the second possible?

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
for some reason i thought jack was 8 scum to 1 town. A second glance at the chart shows me that speedchuck is also at a similar ratio, along with all the quiet folks/dunya.

I'm not going to bother citing my sources here unless someone actually cares. It's easy to find if so.
Twelve players are named here, and six of them were mafia. That's 50%, which is technically "more than random", but not by a significant degree and with a small sample size. It can also be viewed as "in six of ten games, a mafioso led or tied for the lead in civilians named". The difference is probably more semantic than meaningful.
I won't entirely stick the fork in this idea long-term, but I don't think it's a convincing condemnation of Colonel Bob or Jack in this game.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
It is at least possible to look into this. I foresee a glaring issue though, and you suggested it -- the sample size for all the instances I can presently access is already limited, and focusing on individual players would limit it further. I may at least explore the notion for players of interest if I can find anyone that has even done more than a few of these.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:21 am Jimmy, Idk if you have a big enough sample size but I would love to know player trends.

well then, hopefully I can give people a change of heart by the time I am current with the thread.
also, the EoD phase is like at 4-5am my time or something crazy which I will surely not be present for. Is there any time to make EoD a more neutral time for the majority?

I agree. I'm in bed at EoD as well. It's been this way all game so far. This could actually be playing a part in why we aren't lynching people. I wonder is people have actually been around at EoD.

Re: Mountain Mafia [NIGHT 1]
I'm past page 22 now, but I want to say a few things on Daisy. I have to admit, even early on in the Pirates game Daisy wasn't a town read for me. But after a while, I came around. It took less time here for me to pile Daisy in my townie read list and the post below is a good indicator of why I place her higher on my town list today than I did yesterday. This is a townie line of thought. All posts made by Daisy after Day 1 revelation are more Townie spoken Daisy. Daisy reached townie conclusions and asked townie-head questions. I'm feeling better about her not being part of the scum team, but haven't yet completely ruled her out of being a 3P.
Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 3:43 am I disagree with the Sutter Buttes one. We have not yet had a night in which to turn any actions in. The Sutter Buttes hide a fellow little mountain at night and it decreases the vote tally against them the following day. I think this can be discounted as a reason for what occurred.
If Everest, then it might not be her
If Aconcagua, then it is her
If Pico Cristobal Colon, then it doesn't have to be her, but they must be someone who feels confident using their one time power to save her...
If Matterhorn, ??? we just don't know enough to eliminate this one
Disregarding Sutter Buttes for reasons already stated above...
Olympus Mons, same boat as Matterhorn
This doesn't clear her, but her survival is in no way a clear indication of her being bad. in fact I think her behavior might actually be explained by a couple of these possibilities and leans me even more towards my previous belief that Nutella is not bad.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
I'm sorry, and maybe it's my atrocious English, but I have a hard time understanding Jack in this game.
I feel like a lot of his nitty gritty posts are worded awkwardly and there's a lot of beating around the bushes.
"What about the bits regarding bad handwaives of noncircular reasoning as circular reasoning and junk about...."
like what is this even

Re: Mountain Mafia [NIGHT 1]
I think hunting for a mafia team of three and hunting for a rogue are vastly different activities, and there's no baddie team of four. There is a baddie team of 3 and a second lonely baddie team of 1. A scum-read is easier than a rogue-read.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 6:05 pmI miscounted the baddie team of four as a baddie team of three. If Epi and Nutella are bad, you have a 1/whatever chance of being bad.

That was the main reason you were probably good.
What's confusing/odd?
But it's actually 2/whatever and 3/whatever.
Like I said in that very post, everyone else would be statistically likely to be good based on that POE.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 1]
LC could have gone after sig too, as he's done in the past. Epi direction was intentional, out of townie-bad-feelings, I feel. It was frustration and a bit of sourness, which are also townie emotions. A scummy LC would not have invested that much bad faith framing into making Epi an easy lynch target. I think in the games I've played with LC (as town) he always does something like this (I've seen it once directed to sig and twice to Epi--he was Town in all three games). I remember in his game as scum (Seinfeld), he didn't tunnel anyone in this manner. I'm not saying he hasn't as scum, but I'm saying this smells more like Townie LC to me,Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 6:28 pmLC and Epi have a history of this sort of thing. It's within LC's meta to go after him like this. And LC is also one of the boldest scum players we'll see, according to legend. I get the impression that he's willing to do just abot anything.speedchuck wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 6:23 pmLC would not have, as scum, taken one of the danciest, hardest-to-lynch targets and formed a stupid argument to try and lynch him. My meta on LC says this sincere, earnest, and suicidal lynchlust comes from a town headspace.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:53 pm (Basically I would think LC is scum but following such a stupid argument if he didn't genuinely see something in Epi is suicidal)
(And that's a town meta read on LC for me)
And seriously, who would target Epi as their easy D1 lynch?
Motive-wise, it makes zero sense for LC to be scum outside of tinfoil land.

Yet one of those gave you good vibes and the other bad vibes.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 10:31 pm speedchuck was willing to engage suspects pointedly, and he cut down his suspect pool with transparent civilian reads (or at least pledges not to lynch).

Re: Mountain Mafia [NIGHT 1]
That's more than fair, I don't expect anyone to buy into my DDL case reading. Please note these initial reads are more of a general feel, to gather MY personal thoughts on players I had no back knowledge of yesterday. I agree it's terrible and often false as was the case in Seinfeld where the entire scum team apart from LC were lurkers, but I think it holds some value when it comes to a scum DDL.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 10:14 amI've seen this arguement before and while it isn't necessarily wrong, I hate it.dunya wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 10:01 amSloonei pressures him for some "names" on who is giving him bad vibes and this is DDL's responseDragon D.

I feel like a lot of his nitty gritty posts are worded awkwardly and there's a lot of beating around the bushes.
"What about the bits regarding bad handwaives of noncircular reasoning as circular reasoning and junk about...."
like what is this even
Epi: I am dismissing (ie handwaiving) LC's case against me because "blah blah blah" is circular reasoning.
Jack: No, it isn't circular reasoning (ie noncircular reasoning). Whoever I was talking to about Epi, what do you think about Epi dismissing LC's arguement as "circular" when it is clearly not a circular arguement?
Does that make more sense?Maybe I need to sleep on this and see if it hits me
I see the Epi/LC case as very circular. I think it was weak and more of Day 1 gut instinct tunneling than actual scum tells.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
I would like to think Mod Marmot wouldn't have replaced me into sprityo's role if there was a completely inactive scum team of 3. So I am ruling that possibility out completely from understanding what's been happening in the night phases. Is there a lurker/inactive amidst the scum team--more than likely. Are three users inactive? No.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
There is nothing circular about the Epi case. The "circular" rebuttal is fake, and it makes me suspicious to see it called real.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
Now that you mention it, DDL stating that "Nutella" was one of the vultures is almost as bad of an answer to the question as "LC."
Nutella was accused of defending Epi and only stated things like "I would be okay with lynching Epi" in response to accusations of them being buddies. She was otherwise almost entirely focused on lynching Jack and self preservation.
Here's the relevant portion of Nutella's Day 1. I don't see how one could get "Nutella is a vulture circling Epi and hoping to mislynch him" from this. This further cements my opinion that the "vultures" comment was dishonest.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
Let's say, JaggedJimmyJay made a Crowded House reference in the thread Day 0, and you spotted it and called it out. Then he was like, you're cool LC, I'm not lynching you today.
Would you read that as scum JJJ immediately?
Are you not willing to admit a little bias and aggression in how hard you went after Epi for slightly mundane reasons? Didn't you feel you did better scum hunting when you didn't focus all posts on him?

Epi called the case on him "circular," which is false.
Since you agree with Epi, can you explain how the logic is circular?

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
I'm sorry, maybe English isn't my first language. Isn't circular case reflective of someone who is just going around in circles and not willing to admit there is a possibility they are wrong or have been misdirected and there are other leads to follow?Long Con wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 10:38 amI'm sorry, I didn't see a reference to circles there.dunya wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 10:36 amLet's say, JaggedJimmyJay made a Crowded House reference in the thread Day 0, and you spotted it and called it out.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
No, circular logic is logic that requires a belief that it's right in order to prove that it's right. Like "God exists because the Bible says so, and the Bible is the word of God, and thus is the truth."

I want to address mesk's play. Who was it that said they had played with her as civ before and she was really fierce? She seems so genuine to me, but that info doesn't allign with her behavior. I think she needs to be up for discussion today.
Linki...by the way... I can never address linki because on my phone, the left side of linki gets cut off for some reason. Just thought I'd share.
Yes, as town, a wrongly accused town, she gets very vocal and aggressively defensive. She hasn't been on the frying pan though, indeed, she hasn't even been on the forum for 6 days so....we can't say she's scum because she's not here.
Dunya replaced in awesomely with great effort. What if she is too good to be true? What if there have been no night kills because of a quiet mafia and two of them are mesk and now dunya? Just really spitting this out real quick before I go watch tv with the family. I'm not fully caught up so tell me if I'm insane.

It's like I said earlier. Half the game aparrently thinks he's town, but nobody is standing up strong to defend him.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2017 1:00 am ~ I'm surprised by the even split on Colonel Bob. Through the long night phase he seemed to attract and hold negative press without receiving much support if any. This was one of the more conflicted reads for me, and I may not be alone in that given the lack of consensus.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 3]
Ah ok, circular logic. I understand now. Did Epi explain how your argument was circular? Because I don't see it. I don't see how it was and I also did not see his reasoning.
I did see you going around in circles, though.

Me too.

(To be more specific the consensus I saw after Day 2 was much more that Sloonei was mechanically likely town, not Jack.)
