Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I'm wondering the same thing - I don't know tutuu but I've spectated spf's finals game and I know she's a top tier player so she would probably have a good scum game even though I haven't seen it.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
if u think nutella is town why are u asking her to explain her reads? at least to me it looks like a "i am asking u this to try to guess ur alignment better" question rather than "i am asking u cuz i wanna see what i can sheep" question

I also think I can town-lean Thunal33 so far.
His explanation didn't match what I think a scum would be possibly inclined to say.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
She’s not letting her reads be influenced by the question. Her original statement re:sloonei was ambiguojs and she didn’t let it be construed as something that it wasn’t. That seems like a good strong nutella-town mindset.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:48 pmwhy do u tr nutella for that post?

I am not done reading nutella, and regardless of what I think of her I think we would benefit from having this information brought out in the thread.tutuu wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:52 pmif u think nutella is town why are u asking her to explain her reads? at least to me it looks like a "i am asking u this to try to guess ur alignment better" question rather than "i am asking u cuz i wanna see what i can sheep" question

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I've never seen the first three as scum so big shrug lol
and nanook is nanook, of course he's not outside of his scumrange but his comment about his record was good and I'd rather townlean him to begin with and see what he does

* Um. I'm unsure if the poll works the way I want it to work. I'm unfamiliar with the poll creation on Cindy Kate, as it's my first time hosting here. I'm currently trying to fix the poll so that one can add a vote at any time, but never subtract one. Please be patient while I'm doing my best to be less clumsy. (PM me for any suggestions if you have knowledge about how polls work).
But as long as you all also vote with vote tags in thread, we should be fine regardless!

yeah I don't think there's a way to only add votes without making them all changeable, I think we'll have to make them all at once lol

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I didn’t have any particular answer in mind. I wanted to know why you were asking and what your response to me would be.
You’ve commented on your own lack of town reads so far relative to the general thread climate. Can you talk some more about that? Are there any town reads/leans you’ve seen that you actively disagree with?

I made the votes technically changeable, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to change them! This is only so that you will be able to add votes at any time during the day. Vote tags in thread as well, players! Thanks!Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:02 pm @tutuu

if the poll itself is uncooperative we could always resort to manual voting, but that adds like two extra steps to the game.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I think a scum would point to my aforementioned level of experience in FM games with regards to my comfort level in response. As in, that would be the easy argument to make; a new player who's scum may be more uncomfortable than most players.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:56 pmcan you expand on this a little bit more? how would you expect scum to react to your question, and how did her answer differ?MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:54 pm I also think I can town-lean Thunal33 so far.
His explanation didn't match what I think a scum would be possibly inclined to say.
Instead, Thunal33 starts talking about themselves in comparison, and that's why they think my comfort level can be AI at the moment.
As to whether that's something they can do as part of one's "scumrange", I don't know and time will tell.
For the moment though, I think that process of thought or reasoning was more likely to be from town than scum.

nutella's response reminds me of the type of thing i will say when people misunderstand my (often deliberately) confusing words early in games.
nutella-or-sloonei says X.
Player asks nutella-or-sloonei about Y.
nutella-or-sloonei stresses Not Y, Only X.
I like it. It's a thing I do when I'm town. I see nutella do it and think town.

My strategy is kinda at a fluid moment, at least my town one. I'm not sure about it. Im on phone at the moment, so my typing is a fair bit slower.
Basically, when I orignally started out, I did a bunch of studying of games but what I first came across was the Champs. What really appealed to me at the time was JJJ's spreadsheets on game 6. While I didnt read the whole game or the entire championships (I probably have, but dont remember due having to remember college sttuffs as of late). On my first few games I took a really strict approach to try to collect reads and what not, but then i quickly found a fair few bits of it faults. Ive also learned (thanks to an MU user named Quick) the importance of always hiding some thoughts or information even as town.
Right now, I guess im going with the flow of my mind at the moment. My last game was on an anonymous ?krc game on my homesite (as S-FM Jolly Rancher), and I was super happy that when i took a tone or gut scum read I was actually right on that read for once as town lol. So im still debating more "methodical" play and just "gut" play, if that makes sense.
My scum game is lukely going to be similar to how it was in Spirits II though. I think I did fairly well there all things considered (except fall on my face at finding the thrid party Virus). Here's the link:
https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/showthre ... dder-Game)
Though, of course, my play as scum needs a few improvements.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I would also note that the "misunderstanding" is irrelevant: a hypothetical mafioso might be less sure of their position right there. Even if tutuu is misunderstanding their initial point, they might see the question and think they need to come up with an answer for it. Instead nutella just stuck to the initial point and didn't budge.Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:26 pm nutella's response reminds me of the type of thing i will say when people misunderstand my (often deliberately) confusing words early in games.

alright fair enuff. i wouldnt make a read like that cuz its based off on a large assumption imo (u townreading nutella based off a sloonei towntell) but its fine that u choose to townread her for it, u can still be town, u can still be correct on her being town and all those jolly good stuffSloonei wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:32 pmI would also note that the "misunderstanding" is irrelevant: a hypothetical mafioso might be less sure of their position right there.

So im still debating more "methodical" play and just "gut" play, if that makes sense.
My scum game is lukely going to be similar to how it was in Spirits II though. I think I did fairly well there all things considered (except fall on my face at finding the thrid party Virus). Here's the link:

Though, of course, my play as scum needs a few improvements.
What sort of things do you look for when you're reading people?

Groovy, Long Con. Groovy. Far out.
Is anything groovy or not groovy to you so far in this game?

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
wait u rly dont know groovy? ur between gen X and millenials right. interesting u never heard of it. it means, like. swag
i wanna townread the L to the C cuz he seems very very preoccupied with expanding his slang vocabulary. i vibe with it (like i can empathize with posting itt whatever u want and not caring if ppl might not townread u when u rand town)
its a bit of a stretch logically thinking but i emotionally speaking it feesl good about making the read so here we go

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
1. Anything I haven't said before that i would find as AI. For example, I probably wont repeat or reuse the information I just publically said for Town leaning Thunal33. Scum, if they wanted to, could abuse information I give out if its too much in order to manipulate me. Quick taught me this, when i was scum for the first time.
2. I used to look for associations a lot but I'm trying to move away on that a bit given my scum game where I failed to find the Virus before it was too late for a wolf win. Though this isn't to say I don't use it as a reaons at all.
I generally dont answer broad questions like this, so i try to be very context specific with the information or arguments that i give out. However, if I make a case I will very rarely hide information or reasons from my perspective .

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
i like this response from martin, and it's because my approach to scumhunting is very similar to the reasoning he's using to townread thunal (ie: coming in with an assumption of how the scum is likely to act and then measuring that w/the actions of the players)MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:06 pmI think a scum would point to my aforementioned level of experience in FM games with regards to my comfort level in response. As in, that would be the easy argument to make; a new player who's scum may be more uncomfortable than most players.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:56 pmcan you expand on this a little bit more? how would you expect scum to react to your question, and how did her answer differ?MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:54 pm I also think I can town-lean Thunal33 so far.
His explanation didn't match what I think a scum would be possibly inclined to say.
Instead, Thunal33 starts talking about themselves in comparison, and that's why they think my comfort level can be AI at the moment.
As to whether that's something they can do as part of one's "scumrange", I don't know and time will tell.
For the moment though, I think that process of thought or reasoning was more likely to be from town than scum.
i actually had a different feeling from thunal's opening read on you, though. i've noticed that scum usually feels pressured to out reads early on to give the impression of gamesolving, and thunal outing a tr on you almost immediately raised my eyebrows a little bit. still, i can believe that you believe it
hey carrote! it's nice to play with you again

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I tend to think the timing aspect of early reads aren't AI, though I'm sure there are people who would disagree. I will admit though, I didnt think of the "scum out reads earlier than usual" aspect.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:51 pm i like this response from martin, and it's because my approach to scumhunting is very similar to the reasoning he's using to townread thunal (ie: coming in with an assumption of how the scum is likely to act and then measuring that w/the actions of the players)

I value game discussion/progression, and an early read promotes that very well in most cases. Or at least I think it does.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I would agree that the timing of reads isn't AI overall. It might be for some players specifically but I actually tend to have the opposite trend, as scum I like to fluff and delay posting reads.MartinGG99 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:10 pmI tend to think the timing aspect of early reads aren't AI, though I'm sure there are people who would disagree.
