RR put it at L-1Ok, I'm all caught up.
As it stands, I'm inclined to side with Circus. I really don't like Sang's defense, especially when a large facet of it is "I hate connections". :l
We're at L-1 right now, is it? Or is it L-2?
I'm done trying to argue my point with that. Are you siding with Circus just because you don't like my defense, or because you believe him?As it stands, I'm inclined to side with Circus. I really don't like Sang's defense, especially when a large facet of it is "I hate connections". :l
A little from column A, a little from Column B.I'm done trying to argue my point with that. Are you siding with Circus just because you don't like my defense, or because you believe him?
Sure can, I already left you a message on Skype after I got caught up.Ryker said:Can you talk to me later tonight, Raziek?
Because connections are mainly WIFOM. Sure, there are some points in there that could be believable but I honestly believe that Panta was doing that in order to pave the way for his scummates to be safe later on in the game.A little from column A, a little from Column B.
I think Circus makes a fairly compelling case here. You've been attempting to dismiss the connections and Panta's play as largely WIFOM. When I went back to look at your actual vote on Circus for reasoning, I couldn't find much outside of the OMGUS here...
If not you, who should we lynch?
I'm kind of confused. Can you tell me exactly why you believe Circus is scum? Quoting something you previously said is fine, if applicable.OMGUS claims that I have no reason for voting Circus and am just voting him just to vote him. Whatever reasons you do not see I have them.
Circus, obviously, but, at this point, I'd be willing to go with Inferno or even Vocal. Inferno has been acting weird all game and, although I was willing to pass it off as being a newb eariler, I can't ignore the fact that my gut is telling me I might be wrong. Vocal just because I'm not sure about him.
Yeah, Circus. Sorry, been playing too many games with Acro I guess. Agreed. Well then, here we go.Assuming you mean Circus, not Acro, but ok. Hope things go well, real life is hard to avoid sometimes. D:
So which is it? Do you think I'm scum or that I'm arrogant town? Because if I'm scum, which you have been alleging I am (and, as we have established, you are quite a cautious player and would not just place your vote on me if you didn't have strong reasons to do so since you "don't like being wrong"), then this "arrogant town" issue should not even be a concern of yours.@1253. I'm not expecting you to find something scummy in every post, I just dislike that your entire basis as to why I'm scum is Panta and you don't look at anything else really, instead chosing to say that I've just been scummy this entire game. I'm saying I can't wait for that arrogance to come and bite you in general. It would make my day to see that. Now, you're looking too far into things. I'm not excited about dying. I'm excited about teaching you a lesson, provided you are town and legitimately think I'm scum instead of scum finding an easly lynch.
But you are mad. That's why there are asterisks all over your response posts to me.You emit your arrogance through "U mad?"
Ryker basically asked you the inverse of the question you asked me, and you basically just refused to answer it. And I didn't respond to your post either, mostly because I felt the answer to the question was already made pretty clear in my 1222, but the point of the post was to illustrate a certain hypocrisy. The only consistent part is you not liking player connections, which would astound me if you really were town.@1254. I'm asking you who else you think is scum and who you are going to look at as scum. I see no connection between the two posts. Except for the fact that I misread mate to be meta... -_- HAHAHAHAHAHA WOW FAIL.
The entire game of Mafia deals with WIFOM. I get frustrated when I see people say "I try to avoid WIFOM," or "that's too WIFOM-y; forget about it." You're playing with WIFOM with every accusation you make, every question you ask. We do have some concrete things that can kill WIFOM sometimes, like cop results, but you can't just wait around for things like those to present themselves before you actually start playing the game. You just have to decide from which glass you're going to drink based on the knowledge you have and stick to it unless something else genuinely sways you. That's why flips are useful. That's why scum flips are particularly useful, and why your dismissal of any and all observable connections would be baffling if you weren't just scum trying to discredit my case any way you can. This is part of why meta analysis is not something that should be completely ignored either.Because connections are mainly WIFOM.
Emphasis mine. I wasn't in Gord's head when he made his posts, but what you're saying here is just a blatant assumption. This is why I actually quote things and provide links in my posts when I reference things. Because I don't have words to twist or things to hide.In #82, Zen voted for Gord and his response was basically "How could you ever think I'm scum?" Most of his posts up to that point, and even a bit beyond, were full of fluff and talking about RR's posting restriction. Although it was fairly early on in the game, there was plenty to go off of from that point. He voted for me because I said that his #82 was seeming defensive, and felt content voting for me just because it was coming from the newbie side.
From an outsider's POV, this looks like quite the exaggeration of what happened. You make it sound like you had to badger Gord to get an explanation out of him when, in reality, he answered you almost immediately. Gord's vote comes at 115; his FoS explanation comes at 121. You guys can read the exchange that takes place between and after those posts if you want to see how much Sang is stretching this point. It's quite a lot, I assure you.When we asked him to explain, he kept hiding behind stupid stuff and avoiding our questions. When he does explain, he says that I obviously hadn't heard that it was scummy to FoS somebody that early on instead of voting for them. He assumed that I was the one that was using the FoS when it was a joint decision, so this argument makes no sense.
This is all a bunch of useless fluff. If you want any of this to stick, you'll need to show some of the posts you're talking about and explain why they're scummy and not just things about Gord that you don't like.He attempts to use insults as his defense and offense instead of explaining hisself. I understand that Gord is normally full of himself, but there comes a point where it's time to get serious and he didn't understand, instead choosing to ignore my pushes because I am a new player. His first real post is reads from his gut, and although that isn't bad, he doesn't have anything to really substantiate with those reads. Even very far on his posts barely contain any content, mostly fluff and half***ed reads. He continues to ignore any posts we have against him. He hops from vote to vote and never sticks with one read. His pushes seem half-hearted and, although he had been willing to vote for Soupa or SilphCo, he never made a push or case against them that stuck.
The confusion here seemed to come from the fact that Gord thought Ryker was a Poisoner, when in fact Ryker was a Vig with poison flavor. This was cleared up ages ago.In his 947 he jumps to the conclusion that Ryker is indy because he's a poisoner. Although it is still entirely possible that Ryker could be town, he changes that standing later on the start of D3 where he says Ryker is obvcleared. What happened to that entire argument to lynch him regardless of Panta's flip? Regardless of the fact that he was a oneshot, he was very adamant and to be struck from that so easily is weird.
Remember that sentence I said I decided to save a short while ago? Here's where it comes in handy.He has stuck with his reads from D1 and, although that is very admirable, he never gave any other reads and, once the people he wanted gone got lynched, there was never another to take its place.
He hops from vote to vote and never sticks with one read.
Does not compute error//codefakecomputer_lingoCRZHkkkrrrrzzt....He has stuck with his reads from D1....
Explain to me why immediately targeting a player I think is scum and pursuing them is scummy.He has stuck with his reads from D1On to Circus, who, as soon as he joined in, immediately started to tunnel on me and looked at nobody else. He decides to get on my case about posting in other threads when there were other threads that required my attention more and I had decided to put this one on the back-burner. He chooses one of the easiest people to go against (Vocal) because that person has had heat on all game from various people. Yes, he has a few posts as to why Vocal is scum, but the main bulk of his arguments were against me and, once he made sure that I was going to get lynched for the day, it seems he has dropped off the map (IDK if he's VL/A or not though).
Luxray, Town Vanilla.Sang, you should probably claim as soon as you get the chance.
I'm saying if you are town, then you are being very arrogant. If you are scum then I would give you props. And I don't like being wrong. I get that it's gonna happen but I don't like it. Sarcasm is not needed, else I will throw it back.So which is it? Do you think I'm scum or that I'm arrogant town? Because if I'm scum, which you have been alleging I am (and, as we have established, you are quite a cautious player and would not just place your vote on me if you didn't have strong reasons to do so since you "don't like being wrong"), then this "arrogant town" issue should not even be a concern of yours.
I'm not mad. I'm frustrated because you are being stupid. There is a difference. Me mad would go off and sulk and not try to respond to anything you say.circus said:But you are mad. That's why there are asterisks all over your response posts to me.
I didn't refuse to answer it. I misread it. Maybe it's just that I don't have any experience with them but, especially with this fiasco, I am not liking them and I don't like the aspect of them.circus said:Ryker basically asked you the inverse of the question you asked me, and you basically just refused to answer it.

I can understand meta and, although I don't care for the concept, it comes in handy and avoiding it altogether can be one's downfall. Being as I haven't really played any complete games with anybody currently alive in this game I can't use my own ideas from them. I also understand the need for WIFOM. And I'm not saying completely forget about it. I'm also not saying that completely hate connections, just when they are the sole basis for the case do I hate it, because it leads to things like this. I think we should save this discussion about connections until later, after the game, because it has been taking up so much time and we have better things to do. I'm not dismissing it as an important issue. Don't get me wrong, but it has turned into a discussion of how people play mafia and I would like to continue this discussion when I can ask questions about it and talk about it and not be scrutinized for it.circus said:The entire game of Mafia deals with WIFOM.

Something that a person does or says. Pushing just for the sake of pushing. Ignoring certain things or avoiding large issues. Something that makes it seem like you aren't completely based off of connections.circus said:You say you don't consider connections to be a legitimate basis on which to form a scum read. What would you consider a legitimate basis on which to form a scum read?
This gets its own post. Now, why don't you stop and read, hmm? Didn't think you were the kind of player to be such a blatant lier. I'm not hiding anything and I'm not making any assumtions. It was not the post I was referring to in the bolded. Thank you very much.Emphasis mine. I wasn't in Gord's head when he made his posts, but what you're saying here is just a blatant assumption. This is why I actually quote things and provide links in my posts when I reference things. Because I don't have words to twist or things to hide.
This post was made by LST, but he is a member of that hydra and was posting in here.Knowing that it's coming from the less experienced side makes me even more happy with this vote.
He didn't answer completely and we had to drag out the entire conversation to do so longer than we would have had to if he had just answered us. Much like you, he resorted to insults, albeit much more petty than yourself.From an outsider's POV, this looks like quite the exaggeration of what happened. You make it sound like you had to badger Gord to get an explanation out of him when, in reality, he answered you almost immediately.
He says that he's almost positive that I hadn't heard that it was scummy and that he was 100% sure J had. So, he's assuming, to me, that I had not talked to J about putting out an FoS, because J would have talked me out of it. At this point, I'm guessing that he was thinking I was the only one that was really posting.Have you ever heard that it's scummy to FoS somebody, rather than vote them, this early in the game, because it means you are being cautious in your moves? I'm actually pretty sure that the sang side hasn't and that, and I'm 100% positive that the J side has, which makes it even more legitimate as a scum tell. Your move?
I agree, which is why I said I thought it was weird. It's not necessarily scummy, but I don't think it should go unnoticed.circus said:The confusion here seemed to come from the fact that Gord thought Ryker was a Poisoner, when in fact Ryker was a Vig with poison flavor. This was cleared up ages ago.
Jumping from vote to vote and having the same scum reads is completely different. His reads at the start of D1 were pretty much the same by the end of D3. But, he was completely willing to vote for anybody to make up a lynch, turning it into a game once he was comfortable with the people that were getting lynched. He switched votes back and forth often. Granted, it got lesser so as the Day wore on, especially into yesterDay, but it never really stopped.circus said:Does not compute error//codefakecomputer_lingoCRZHkkkrrrrzzt....
I think that, as town, he should have been giving us more places to look instead of sticking to his scum reads from D1 that had hardly changed at all. If he were town, he should have been giving us help by saying who he thought was scummy besides just 1 person. As scum, he would have felt less inclined to do so so that, if he ended up dying, the town wouldn't be able to get very many reads off of him.circus said:Also, you say that Gord never gave new reads once the people he wanted gone were lynched. Are you making the argument that scumGord would not have begun looking for new mislynches once his first couple of picks were gone? What is your reasoning for taking this as a scumtell?
Because you are tunneling and focusing completely on me. Even though Vocal is a scum pick, you haven't made a case on him or focused on him. You completely disregard any valid arguments I make and, instead, stoop so low as to insult me, or my intelligence, or just my arguments as a whole.circus said:Explain to me why immediately targeting a player I think is scum and pursuing them is scummy.
I should probably do the same but I was expecting to hydra in this with J but he had to replace out. I apologize for making you wait so long for my reads (and even taking forever to get to those once you made your post) but, as I said, I did eventually get to them. As it was, I was so focused on my other games that I had completely forgotten about what was even happening and I put it off, which I, admittedly, shouldn't have.circus said:I got on your case about posting in other games because I had asked you a pretty simple question and your were stalling on it under the guise of needing to reread the game in order to answer me properly. And since I was kind of planning on waiting for an answer to that question before I continued with what I wanted to post, it was getting frustrating. I do respect the ability that you and other people have for being able to juggle so many games at once; I usually stick to one or two at the most because three or more can become quite difficult.
As I said, tunneling.circus said:I never even went against Vocal. I think there's a decent chance he could be scum, but I haven't made a single post in pursuit of him so far—in fact, I specifically wanted to avoid lynching him toDay because I'm much more confident about you.
Actually, after my re-read, I find others to be scummier. I'm just not sure about vocal. He is a resounding null to me and, at this stage, it makes me uncomfortable. You come in here with a scum read on the easiest person to have a scum read against and not get any flak for and yet you chose to not pursue it because of a greater read on me. As you have said, you haven't given hardly any info at all on why you think Vocal is scum.circus said:All I've said "against" Vocal is that his claim of being targeted for confusion should not be taken at face value. And why would you even have a problem with me going after Vocal if you yourself find him scummy? When you think he's scummy, it's because you're hunting scum, but when I think he's scummy, it's because I'm going for the easy out? Which I didn't even do? What?
It's fine. My apologies. I was just commenting on it, and I didn't feel comfortable just claiming that on you just because you weren't there. IRL stuff just happens and I realize voting somebody just because of their absence is stupid. I hope you are feeling better. Being sick sucks.circus said:I do apologize for the unannounced absence; it would have been best if I had at least gotten on to tell you guys what was up, but I just didn't ever want to get off the couch when I didn't have to because I felt like a hollow husk of a human being. Still, bad form on my part.
Agreed. That was more for Raziek than you but I didn't feel the need to make two different posts.circus said:I'm not even getting into the collapsed bit because it's just the same "the way I see it" stuff we've been talking around for a while now.
He's agreeing with Ryker that DH, Vocal, and I are scum. But, the reason I am thanking you is because, Circus, you're right. You haven't even pursued Vocal whatsoever which better supports my point of you tunneling me.Ryker seems to have some strong town reads. You, DH, and Vocal, are not among them. That's what I'm getting from that. And I'm pretty inclined to agree with him right now. Not totally sold on Infernotown, but he still shouldn't die toDay.
Sang, were you going to get me those scum picks at some point? Because if not, then just let me know so I can get to explaining to everyone else why you're scum.
I like the sincerity of this post. We really do need to get Vocal back here though.Wow. Didn't expect to come home and see a hammer. Sang, if you're town, I'm super sorry. You'll see me eatin' humble pie at the post-game party.
But I'm still pretty sure you're scum.
Regardless of what you flip, I'm sorry that you feel that I've insulted you. It certainly hasn't been my intention to offend you in any way. Push your buttons, sure. A lot. But not question your intelligence or the like.
I might respond to some of your things about tunneling or my Vocal read or whatever in a bit if Asdioh doesn't swoop in here to end the Day. But I'm curious, why exactly do you have such a problem with me not pursuing Vocal toDay? He hasn't even been here. What would you suggest we do—lynch Vocal while he's MIA? Even if Vocal had been my strongest scum read when I replaced in, I don't know that I would have supported lynching him without him at least being able to pop in and offer some kind of rebuttal. You were at least here and able to defend yourself.
I know its AtE. I just thought it was a nice for him to say that he didn't mean to insult her intellect. Nothing more. Honestly my view of circus will mostly depend on how Sang flips....?
It's completely useless AtE? It's there for post game if he's town or to get you to think that very thing as scum. I don't like your response to it at all.
