I call bullshit.

apparently the reason I thought CF7 and Mituski were suspicious was based on my misunderstanding of Sky's chart.

In this post Sky unequivocally explains whoever got to pick first is extremely likely to have a (town) power role. You respond that scum are capable of picking town roles to deny them from town. Nothing in your post suggests that you have some misunderstanding over what Sky Paladin was talking about.

It's unlikely you thought "factional kill" was a selectable role as an exhaustive list of roles was posted, pre-ambled with "these are the selectable roles". I don't find it believable that Raikaria did not look at the roles list or examined the roles in detail prior to making a pick. I think it's only believable if either Raikaria is extremely inattentive and drafted without looking at the roles list in detail, or his scum buddies already suggested a pick for him so he did not need to pay attention.

I'm not sure what I can reply to Zakeri since gutreads are hard to comment on. I know I'm not usually agressive (as either alignment) but I'm really annoyed at reads based on people being bad and on contradictions. And on dumb rolespec, but not the kind that has been going on this game. I feel that people rely too much on those to the point that they ignore tells that are much better at distinguishing town from scum. I'm also kind of raging at myself because of that, I have a personal QT where I rage to myself about what I have or don't have to do in mafia, from before the game, and I can link it to you if you want. Not sure it'd serve as proof of anything though, and I'd rather not show my personal stuff, but this is probably the best I can offer as defense.

I'm raging so hard at being at L-1 that it's hard to understand Bardiche's post. Ugh, I'll try.

Mitsuki's tacit defending of Sky Paladin is almost textbook chainsaw defending.

I'm not trying to defend Sky Paladin, I'm posting to comment on a scumread. I get I'm defending Sky Paladin as a side effect but what could I do otherwise, not post about it at all?
Anyways how is that chainsaw defending, though, when none of us has flipped? Chainsaw defending isn't a reliable tell without flips. You're making associative reads without flips, which is dumb.

Focusing on merely one point (Sky Paladin's misrep)
No, I didn't focus on one point, I gave several explanations on how the whole bit on Palain was scummy. I thought that SkyPal's misrep was a good example of how your case didn't hold water but I can focus on why the other points you brought up aren't good if you want.

and claiming I'm "exaggerating about what [Sky Pal]'s done" conveniently ignores whether or not Sky Paladin's actions are town-minded, while subtly suggesting that they are ("common from SkyPal")

By saying it's common for SkyPal to do something I'm implying it's null. The burden of proof on why something someone has done is scummy is on the person who suspects them (you), not on who disagrees with your scumread. How is disagreeing with you scummy anyways?

If I have to spoonfeed why Paladin's actions are scummy: his strawman is scummy because he pretends you're scum for failing to do any of the four things he mentioned. His misrepresentation as "empty content post" is dishonest and scum minded, because his summary leaves out the content of the post and pretends it doesn't exist. Focusing on discussing roles over discussing who's scum has the potential to draw in others; any discussion that isn't focused on finding scum is discussion that benefits scum by sheer virtue of distracting Town from its wincondition.

Yeah, I get why scumtells are scumtells, but I'm questioning how those apply to SkyPal: he does that kind of thing as town and I think some of your points are exaggerated. Ugh, I can comment on that in detail if you want, do you prefer that or shall I wait for Sky to adress those points?

Therefore, Sky Paladin is Scum, because he employs three tactics which all serve to distract Town and further a Scum agenda.

"SkyPal is antitown". Ok, but he has been antitown as town before (we all have).

Defending Sky Paladin on the basis that "he's always like this" purports that Sky Paladin is completely logical, sound and brilliant whenever he's scum. Last I checked, rolling scum doesn't turn you into Buddha.

Yeah but rolling town doesn't turn him into Buddha either. He's very confusing as both scum and town. Where I'm getting at is that you're using nulltells as scumtells.

I find Bardiche's case on me scummy but it may be because I'm raging. I'll need to reconsider that when I'm sure I'm seeing straight.

Other than Bardiche I'm not sure who I'd lynch, and he doesn't seem like an option for D1 so ugh. I wouldn't lynch SkyPal, Zakeri or Dan. Waiting to see what Raikaria posts, he's null to me right now but I'm confident I'll be able to read him soon enough for reasons.

Chainsaw defending doesn't require the other party to flip.

Disagreeing with me is scummy because I'm right. Also because you have no idea whether or not Sky Paladin is Scum or Town with absolute certainty, so you cannot say whether or not I am right. Unless you're Scum, then you can be absolutely certain of it. The entire quote isn't about disagreeing with me, it's that you've made no attempt to explain why I'd be wrong. I disagree Sky behaves "as normal" and think he behaves in a decidedly pro-Scum way.

I don't quite get the point re: anti-Town. Can you clarify what you mean there? It's OK to be anti-Town?

Let me make it clear:

I don't think Sky Paladin's normal modus operandi is this anti-Town. He is infuriatingly illogical, but never outright supporting the Scum win condition. By claiming that Sky Paladin is routinely anti-Town, you're not only being condescending and an ass, but also wrong. You claimed that if I were Town, I'd "know better". I now invite you to look through the archives, for I am sure you will find I have always pursued anti-Town behaviour.

I fiercely dislike Mitsuki's vague "I'll be able to read Raikaria soon enough". Smells like a wait-and-see position to see whether the rest think he's scummy, and if they do, Mitsuki will swing that way as well. I think it's pretty scummy to have (virtually) no scum reads; know who has trouble with scum reads? Scum. Because they have to fabricate a case on someone they know is innocent, or bus a buddy.

Since I just realised there's no reason for Raikaria or Bard NOT to pick (1,1)

Sorry SB for being fucking lame but I'm quoting this because it implies that Raikaria and Bard aren't the scumteam; if they were SB wouldn't see a problem with them picking whichever numbers they felt like, but instead he saw the chance for an "eternal tie" and decided to change his method. As the scumteam they would agree on which numbers to pick, as town-town or town-scum they'd want to compete and therefore they'd both choose (1,1). I think this is most reliable than the paper-rock-scissors tie, since they could have tied once on purpose.
So yeah I think we can now safely assume that if one of them flips scum the other must be town.


@Bardiche on the Raikaria thing: I have one tell on Raikaria that I think I'll be able to apply soon, but if I comment on it I won't be able to use it. I'm currently leaning towards "not scum" on him, if that's what you're asking about. As scum why would I say that and not just outright wait though?

On chainsaw defending: Chainsaw defending is literally scum defending scum by attacking someone else. You can't really apply it without having a scum flip.

On being anti-town: No, it's not ok to be anti-town. However, that doesn't mean the person is scum.

Disagreeing with you is scummy because you're right? No, I don't think you're right, and anyways, do you think town will never disagree with what it's right? Whatever, I think it's pointless to discuss this. Thinking you're wrong is not what I find you scummy for, anyways.

Fair enough on the comment on Sky Paladin not being anti-town usually, I think we'll have to agree to disagree on what his meta is though.


Yeah I'll check the archives, that is a good idea. I'd suggest you to do the same, but actually I've been playing this game very differently than any other games so I'm not sure it'd help.

I am concerned that Bard basically countervoted Mitsuki when she first cased him, refused to analyse the posts I asked him to, and then hopped off of the wagon on to the easiest lynch in the game.  More to follow.

I still think Bardiche is scum based on meta? Granted, he words stuff in a much more fancy way than what I remembered, but the way he goes on about everything is much more straightforward as town than as scum. As town I can see how one point flows from the other and it's really well explained, as scum it all feels exaggerated and it's not that well explained. There's also how he uses scum rethoric as scum but not as town, at least as far as I've checked. This is the kind of thing that can't be well explained without examples, so town post and scum post, another scum post from later on to check the scum rethoric part. Feel free to check more of his meta if you want.

How does this relate to this game? Well, as I quoted before, this post has two examples of scum rethoric, and I think the logic on SkyPal was exaggerated. As to how well explained arguments are, this is more of a gut thing, and it's not like he doesn't explain stuff well anyways, it's just that as town he explains it better; his logic "flows" more, so to speak. You can check last post for this as well but I think this one and the one that follows it are a better example of that.

I generally agree with Mitsuki's post where she votes Bard.

"There is no real reason given as of why Sky's misrep would have scum intent" -

This post was not a misrep.  It was an attempt to summarise your post as to why I felt it scummy.  If you, Mitsuki, look at my post, and then check your post, please consider if what I said strongly alters the content of your post.  That is what I asked Bard to do here and here

@Bard
Post
"I don't need to explain why a Scumread appears Town."
Yes you do, because I am accusing you of Making Stuff Up as the basis for your vote.  I do not see the pro-town spirit in the post of Mitsuki's that you apparently saw as gold. 

I DEMAND an explanation, even more so as you saw fit to vote Mitsuki almost immediately afterward. 

"Sky Paladin, how can you use "I have to keep finding reasons not to vote them" and "I think Raikaria is the easiest mislynch" in the same sentence? While you're busy explaining, care to add an explanation where exactly you stand on Raikaria, and what excuses you make to yourself to not vote him?"

Sure. 

I've seen Raikaria do a whole bunch of dumb things this game, like an empty unvote that he STILL hasn't replaced, countervoting me because he thought I voted him, etc etc, but I also in my very first post did a dumb thing - I somehow thought Raikaria was voting for a different person than he was. 
I find it hard to believe somebody could be this much of a train wreck by accident and there have been many alarming things that he has said including general confusion over how the drafting order works. 
I honestly don't know if Raikaria is scum.  I could see us lynching him today just to remove the confusion factor.  Then I consider "If I am willing to delete a player just to make the puzzle easier, is that beneficial for town?"  He's more than likely to be unroled so the net loss is minimal.  But when I find myself making calculations on 'How much is this player worth to keep in the game?' I start to question if I am scum hunting or just pushing to kill off players that I dislike this game. 

Also, partly meta.  It seems like we lynch one of Raikaria/CF7/Serela/Sky every day 1.  I've never seen Dr Rawr or Dan get lynched day 1, and Raikaria has posted heaps of content.  I'd rather punish Dan and Rawr for their inactivity than punitively lynch Raikaria for forgetting how to play. 

@Bard
"Mitsuki's tacit defending of Sky Paladin is almost textbook chainsaw defending."
Isn't this exactly what you did when you voted me for my vote on Mitsuki? 

"Focusing on merely one point (Sky Paladin's misrep) and claiming I'm "exaggerating about what [Sky Pal]'s done" conveniently ignores whether or not Sky Paladin's actions are town-minded"
Isn't this exactly what you did when you voted me for my vote on Mitsuki? 

"His misrepresentation as "empty content post" is dishonest and scum minded, because his summary leaves out the content of the post and pretends it doesn't exist. "
I challenged you, twice, to provide an alternative view of said content to lend weight to your argument.  You continue to fail to do so, subsequently, I am forced to conclude that no such alternative explanation exists, and you are fabricating. 

"Focusing on discussing roles over discussing who's scum has the potential to draw in others; any discussion that isn't focused on finding scum is discussion that benefits scum by sheer virtue of distracting Town from its wincondition."

I didn't do this, as you yourself say in your justification for your vote on Raikaria,
Quote

Nothing in your post suggests that you have some misunderstanding over what Sky Paladin was talking about.

If you knew it was a lie, you shouldn't have used it as the basis for your vote on me.

I'm always completely logical, sound and brilliant.  What's the value of this point? 

Mitsuki didn't defend me.  She made a case against you.  You should focus your efforts on disproving her points against you. 

I do kind of agree with this though:
"I'm not convinced Raikaria developed dementia inbetween this game and the last game he played."

It looks like half the game was confused on what that list Sky posted was for.

Holy wow. 

Guys. 

My list was complaining that the draft order was revealed.  Nothing more.  It wasn't rolespec or rolefishing or whatever, it was just...this hurt town, why did you do this?

I'm gonna leave it there while I read page 4.

@Mitsuki - "I have a personal QT where I rage to myself about what I have or don't have to do in mafia, from before the game, and I can link it to you if you want. "

I'm pretty sure that's against the rules, since it constitutes 'editing your posts'.  I've asked before and got a big fat no. 

"I get I'm defending Sky Paladin as a side effect but what could I do otherwise, not post about it at all?
Anyways how is that chainsaw defending, though, when none of us has flipped? Chainsaw defending isn't a reliable tell without flips. You're making associative reads without flips, which is dumb." 

Agree 100%. 

"The burden of proof on why something someone has done is scummy is on the person who suspects them (you), not on who disagrees with your scumread. How is disagreeing with you scummy anyways?" 

Agree 100%.  This is the spirit behind why I'm asking Bard to explain his early town read of Mitsuki, that apparently changed to a scum read when you voted him. 

@Just
"Chainsaw defending doesn't require the other party to flip. "

Yes, it does.
Quote
UPDATE: After further analysis, Tarhalindur has determined that the Chainsaw Defense is only trustworthy once the player defended has been revealed to be group scum (once the player defended is proved to be Mafia, any player that used Chainsaw Defense on the dead scum should be scrutinized). Otherwise, it is a null tell. Mutual Chainsaw Defense may, however, still be an outright scumtell; more research is required here.

Disagreeing with me is scummy because I'm right. Also because you have no idea whether or not Sky Paladin is Scum or Town with absolute certainty, so you cannot say whether or not I am right. Unless you're Scum, then you can be absolutely certain of it.

"you have no idea whether or not Sky Paladin is Scum or Town with absolute certainty

It's hard for me to read the first quote as anything other than a town clear of Mitsuki and outing himself as scum.  That aside, there are plenty of contradictions from Just, as well as several instances of apparently Making Stuff Up as a basis for his vote, on top of his serious-vote-but-wagon-hop inconsistency.

Sky Paladin I realise that your post wasn't a misrep as-is, I was calling it misrep because those were Bardiche's words. It's part of why I'm saying he's exaggerating stuff. I think you misunderstood some of the stuff I said though, but we already clarified that.

Also Bardiche never called me town, his first post on me (before the post where he voted me) called me scummy.

Bard said, in his vote post, "I dislike it because he builds a strawman ("this is what Mitsuki could have done, BUT THEN DIDN'T!"), misrepresents Mitsuki's post"

So I want to know what difference there is between what I posted and what he read. 

He later states:
"I don't need to explain why a Scumread appears Town." in response to my request for clarification. 

Which suggests that he saw you as town at that time which is interesting because that is the exact post where he votes for you.

I DEMAND an explanation, even more so as you saw fit to vote Mitsuki almost immediately afterward. 

If I read Mitsuki as Scum there is literally no reason for me to give you any explanation as to why they are Town. Why would I undermine my own scumreads by claiming they're Town? That doesn't make sense.

And yes, Sky Paladin. Indeed. I actually meant that I'm Scum in that post. Congratulations, you solved the game.

From your blurb on Raikaria, am I to understand you are not scumreading him?

Regarding alternative interpretations of Mitsuki's post that isn't "empty content": the post contains an evaluation of your alignment, the information that "scum players were supposed to communicate before picking" and the information that alignments were chosen before roles were picked. In particular, your summary of the post is only the last, third point. It's dishonest to strip away 2/3rds of a post and then claim it "empty content".

I don't know what lie I'm using as "my basis" for a vote on you. I clearly and unequivocally voted you over misrepresentation, role spec distraction, complaining Mitsuki town reads you (why would that bother you?) and using a strawman argument. All of these actions further Scum and exhibit an inability to make a case based on actual proceedings. That's scummy.

I'm not chainsaw defending Mitsuki and have not at any point in the game. My beef was and is with your arguments and style of case-making, irrelevant of what I think of Mitsuki. Whether I read Mitsuki as Town or Scum does not change my read on you. If Mitsuki agreed with me that you behaving in an Anti-Town way is Scummy, then Mitsuki'd probably be voting in a different direction. The entire crux of the argument between Mitsuki and I is that we disagree on whether you're normally Anti-Town or not.

Mitsuki is amusing, but I use the same rhetoric regardless of alignment.

"From your blurb on Raikaria, am I to understand you are not scumreading him?" 

I am not-not scumreading him?  He has been very careless and made many mistakes.  It would be very easy to make a case and vote, and with the timer running down (15 hours to go) it would be easy to just vote.  He's over reacted and misunderstood things and (if town) become confused.  I also flagged a seperate thing where he mixed up the drafting order with the assigned roles, which I felt players paying attention to selecting a role couldn't have got wrong.  I am not opposed to a Raikaria lynch.  I just wonder if there isn't a better one.  I feel, for example, your case and vote on Raikaria is very tangential and that anybody can pick one thing Raikaria has done and vote him for it.  It will be hard to get meaningful data from his lynch if he flips town. 

Honestly, my first pick for scum team was Raikaria/Mitsuki.  When Mitsuki first responded to my post, after I was questioning Raikaria, it felt like she was trying to put pressure away from people looking at Raikaria.  So naturally I became suspicious of the motive. 

You had what appeared to be a solid case on Mitsuki, only to jump off of the wagon when she was at L-1 for Raikaria.  There's been a lot of mistakes from Raikaria and the one you pulled up to trigger your focus was one you appeared to 'correct' me on prior.  I think the choice and the timing is very strange, so I question your motive about this.

I feel like you are dodging the issue here intentionally.  I want you to read my post, the one that Mitsuki responded to, and evaluate the purpose of her post.  I do not care what you think about the post where I voted Mitsuki, that you voted me for, because I already made a case for scum Mitsuki when I voted and any post after that was you reacting.  I want you to go to the source and evaluate.

i dont think bardiche is in the wrong with his case on sky paladin. i mean if skypaladin posts nonsense as both town and scum isnt it up to town to determine if its scum skypaladin or town skypaladin? we are talking about his content and we cant just hand wave it away.

im still gonna think raiakria is town because i to made the same mistake because
Spoiler:
i didnt read any of the rules
so im thinking raiakria was just being a total scrub andis going to get his act together for the rest of the game. gotta wipe that rust off dawg.

actiondan is a pretty cool guy and i probably wouldnt lynch himand going off his post zakeri is probably town also

assume my vote is on mitsuki no idea what the vote count looks like
 :dealwithit:
i dont understand why mitsuki thinks bardiche is scum. ive read that post and actually looked at the links but i cant really tell whats going on. which in my book is just scum posting some kind of useless babble people will not really read and agree with it.

I'm in the situation where as a town player, I've observed Mitsuki start a case while she wasn't under any pressure, and I feel like the scum thing for her to do would have been to sit back and let town do something random, or to join in on another wagon (Raikaria and mine were the main ones iirc).  That's why we have that third on wagon scumtell, right? 

Her first couple of posts re CF7 were pretty bad and I called her on it but she improved and she has a lot of content.  So basically I'd be unhappy with a lynch of Mitsuki today.  I'd be happy with, roughly in this order, Bard/Rawr/Dan/Raikaria.  CF7 kind of vanished for the last half of the phase along with Zak and they haven't really addressed their votes for awhile either, but they aren't 'bad' so to speak. 

So I guess
Scumpicks -> Bard + Rawr or Dan or Raikaria
Uncertain -> Dormio, CF7, Zak
Town -> Mitsuki

I realise this is pretty hypocritical given I was railing her as my main scum pick at the start of the phase.  That's the point of discussion though.  We learn and update our opinions.  That's why I think Mitsuki is probably town, because she's put out a lot of stuff, and reading it, it doesn't feel bad.  When I read Just's stuff I get, that dirty feeling, that I'm reading lies all the time.  I know that Just twisted things I said to make me look bad and he just made up things too.  I don't like it.

Therefore, Sky Paladin is Scum, because he employs three tactics which all serve to distract Town and further a Scum agenda.

##Unvote
##Vote: Mitsuki


OK; so if Mitsuki is scum because he/she is defending Sky Paladin, who is scum, then why are you voting for Mitsuki and not Sky Paladin?

It's unlikely you thought "factional kill" was a selectable role as an exhaustive list of roles was posted, pre-ambled with "these are the selectable roles". I don't find it believable that Raikaria did not look at the roles list or examined the roles in detail prior to making a pick. I think it's only believable if either Raikaria is extremely inattentive and drafted without looking at the roles list in detail, or his scum buddies already suggested a pick for him so he did not need to pay attention.

It's more this game took so long to start up and I drafted like 2 months ago so I forgot.

Chainsaw defending doesn't require the other party to flip.

Disagreeing with me is scummy because I'm right. Also because you have no idea whether or not Sky Paladin is Scum or Town with absolute certainty, so you cannot say whether or not I am right. Unless you're Scum, then you can be absolutely certain of it. The entire quote isn't about disagreeing with me, it's that you've made no attempt to explain why I'd be wrong. I disagree Sky behaves "as normal" and think he behaves in a decidedly pro-Scum way.

Oh god this attitude is so bad. Aside from the fact that a lynchpin of your old Mitsuki vote is Sky being scum being hilariously mirrored against you using 'because you have no idea whether or not Sky Paladin is Scum or Town with absolute certainty, so you cannot say whether or not I am right.' Saying you cannot prove someone wrong because you do not know certainties works both ways Bard. And if it works both ways no-one would ever get anything done in mafia.

I don't like the way Bard is pushing on Sky/Mitsuki, and I especially don't like the logic he uses to vote Mitsuki: 'Sky is scum therefor Mitsuki is scum for defending him but let's vote Mitsuki and not the guy I've just 'proved' is scum in this wall'. 'By the way if you disagree with me you're scum.'

I don't even remember who put the above in my sig. [Wasn't me] Nor do I understand why I keep it here anymore.
Those two facts sum me up pretty well.

I mean the main reason I can see for Bard jumping ojn Mitsuki after making a wall on how Sky is scum is simply to wagonhop onto a more popular wagon. Worth noting he hopped onto me when Mitsuki started losing traction but has mostly been harping on about Mitsuki/Sky anyway.

Not to mention by his logic it is impossible for me to be scum; since his Mitsuki logic relies on Sky being scum and this is a 7/2 setup.

To elaborate; if he thinks I am most likly to be scum right now there is no point in pushing the Mitsuki/Sky thing any longer, because the two situations are mutually exclusive, and he is undermining his current vote on me.

Maybe I won't be able to give a solid opinion on Raikaria but whatever. My non-solid opinion is that he's town.

Also @Bardiche I don't see that as scum rethoric, but now that I see it I don't see the post I linked as containing scum rethoric either so lol. I think this was scum rethoric though:

such a bogus reason to throw on at the end that it offends my sensibilities.

@Dormio please answer my question:

how is this a scumtell and not a Raikariatell. How does this differentiate from his town logic? He posts bad logic as either alignment.


Is there really 8 and a half hours left in the phase? I'll claim if necessary, but I'd rather not do that.

One of them is me and there's nothing for me to comment on since my last post.

I have been making allusions at various points about the content levels, like suggesting that there's only 2 pages of content which is very low.

Dormio should say something since he's online and I don't think the Raikaria lynch is happening.

I just want the people who suspect me to say if they'd rather have me claim or they're going to vote someone else, and that should be soon because we're running out if time for this phase. If I'm going to claim it has to be now.
