Sinny doesn't seem like a person who easily changes. She sticks to her guns, and has consistently done so since she joined INTPf. Right up to the point of this game, where instead of going wild and trying to bring someone down, she now is all just, "meh, yeah, maybe, I guess I could be suspicious, I'll just point...haha....point....blah"It's hard to be suspicious, when there's nothing to be suspicious of.

I see your point...although that last game was SUCH a clusterfuck and Town got its ass kicked so bad that maybe she learned something from that. (Yes, she can be taught?) I'm curious to see what patterns persist...

Bronto has given us nothing. Thus it's just a lucky chance vote.
Yeah. Shit townie, at best. (I'm not inviting him to any more of my fancy neighborhood casserole parties, let me tell you.)

Therefore, [Zerk] has really valuable insight she could share as town as to what a mafia member could be thinking in this specific type of game. If she could convince me by giving all of us what we could be looking for, (I want to be convinced), then maybe I'll loosen my grip on her.

My impression from the QTs and watching the game is that she just kind of coasted through without much notice Because Town Cannibalism -- they kept fixating on each other versus mafia. But if she's got secrets, then let's hear them.

One thing -- I did scan her before the reveal (while observing) because I saw her pushing to speed the lynch. And you're right, she's been taking wild swings here, plus making demands of QT about bumping Bronto and similar things. I'm looking to see what Happy and Helvete say, and then will go from there...

In last game, I think sinny wasn't a bad town at all. For one, she did make it well known that she was town, and nobody was suspicious of her. That actually helps town, and gives everyone one person to scratch off the suspicion list. Sure, she focused on hado too much and could have looked at alternative explanations, but that's understandable.

If anything, playing sly and hard to read is a bad town move. Or a bad mafia.

At a certain point asking for specifics just allows you to be lazy.

So if anyone wants to ask me anything in specific before I go back to bed in preparation for Hado's case in 6 hours...

But seriously though I think I've worked out what you're doing so I'll hold my peace.

Idk hado a lots happened, maybe you could give your thoughts like a normal person. What do you think about my thoughts on the lurking in plain sight people? What do you think about Happy not existing after saying he would do stuff?

How about my Jenny and Zerk potential town theories? (in the post I made when I couldn't sleep) Can you say the same for Cheeseumpuffs or does my comment influence the way he called for a replacement?

For some reason intuitively I guess Jenny seemed more town going about it despite it being the same thing. Maybe it's Wifom and they or one of them don't want to let the scum team down.

Anything you think that is important.

I'm sure everyone wants to hear more of anyone except me. From here on, I'll try to limit my posts down a lot.

No I want to hear more from you because at least for now you actually seem quality. (Both hado and I agree iirc) I can't see a lynch on you happening and you seem town so your thoughts are important. The thing is we want to see more from others who aren't providing much that doesn't mean you should stop. (unless you know.. you have a life)

Yeah hado what do you think is important! Create the content don't just float on top of it. You've sort of been floating ever since saying you'd wait a day before doing my case.

Yeah I'm writing it up now. I'll post when I'm finished not at the 24 hour mark.

Agreed that Urakro should post more and should feel completely uninhibited.

My thoughts that I think are important? I don't work like that. I post what I think is important for me to communicate without being coaxed. Yes I've been coasting. I'll address that observation.

@Gopher
Can you please write up what you think I'll say, but not post it immediately? We then coordinate, and you post yours with me posting mine immediately after. Mine is long enough that it won't be possible for me to write it up in response. I know it's not perfect, since I could have two different cases or something, but it would could generate some thoughts for me. This is not a precision question, I don't have a hypothesis that I'm testing, but it seems like an opportunity that could generate meaningful information.

Well actually I can just post it before hand as it doesn't rely on your post and is probably not true now that you suggested that method. Just in case your strat relies on me posting at the same time I'll ask first. Should I just post my thoughts?

Post it simultaneously so that *I know* it's not reliant on mine.

Post what you think I'll say. And post your read on me. You say you're suspicious of me, that's cool. I want you to case me as hard as you can.

I want to be able to pick up the pieces from this and have a firm read on you.

Do not post things that you think a town hado might be trying unless you really have to. You should understand why.

I know that's a convoluted bunch of demands, use your best judgement.

wow aint RB's post full of shit? "hey guys i suspect gopher but i wont do anything about it until these 4 talk" and then lists a hopeless inactive case among the 4

did you even read last page?

What? Did you even read my post?

I said at least twice that I'm going to bed and that I'll be making the case when I get up - but that it'd be nice to have these people actually contribute in the meantime. But sure, it's "full of shit" for me to pressure lurkers to contribute and to actually go to sleep, but it's not, "full of shit" for you to just accuse someone then leave and come back with, "oh, it was just an experiment sry guyz xDDD!!"?

You know what, I'm not even mad that you think I'm full of shit. I'm mad that all you've done is distort what I've posted and your response to me calling you out for doing nothing is basically just, "no YOU'RE doing nothing!"

I even said:

redbaron said:
As of me posting this there's about 40 hours until Day end. I'll present my case within the next 12 and that still leaves close to 30 hours for people to decide on lynching lurkers vs. active cases or whatever.

Bed time.

You realise I can't case you more than I have until you answer all the questions you avoided for a day. Basically your guilt rides entirely on your reasoning for doing all this scummy stuff because apart from all your coasting and transparency issues and not giving cases or seemingly being suspicious about more than one or two people and power hording and town lurking reasons.... well apart from all of that which you supposedly have an answer for you don't seem scum. With them you absolutely do and honestly you should know I hardly even need to case that. (again) It's just staring everyone in the face.

If I pulled what you did you would have bet your life on me flipping scum.

(I hope in your post you completely cover all of those questions I asked way back about this btw)

Also my post almost entirely wouldn't effect yours. I can't see a way it would because at this point if that was your plan it failed (or has been completed) so it doesn't matter.

Ok so first of all I want to apologize for my unnecessary post last night, I just couldn't resist...
There's been a fair few posts since and I'm not sure of all the exact questions you guys want answering, but these stood out to me so I'll address them and add my own thoughts in general.

When you do go down that path, the questions I want answered are, why my motivations (or whoever you settle on) are scum motivations and why I'm your highest read. If you can answer that adequately I'll be amazed. Mostly because I know it's entirely wifom or bias because I know I'm town however even from your perspective hopefully when you get around to analyzing it you should see that. Basically all I ask is you analyze it properly and come to your own conclusions. Unless you're scum in which case die in a fire and make an awful case so we can lynch you kthxbai.

Oh I remembered from ages back. PMJ, FOS is finger of suspicion, a way of showing your suspicion without voting.

I don't know why you are inferring I think you are scum. You were tunneled earlier and I'm fairly happy with the way you answered. The main issue being your meta in such a noob game as others have pointed out. I'll be interested to see hado's case later as he knows you much better and I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

I don't actually have any scum reads. This game is a huge learning curve for me and I've been purposely holding back so far to allow me to gain a lot without exposing myself too much. I have been trying my best to figure out who is most likely to be town; if I can deduce the most likely to be town then by process of elimination I am left with a few names which are more likely to be scum. This is day 1, it is unlikely for scum to slip up. All scum have to do is not look like scum to blend in with town if people are focusing too much on finding the scum. I am not seeing scum so I am trying to look at it the other way, to find most likely scum.

For instance knowing that I am town, I don't really know a thing and have been reluctant to make judgments. A scum Helvete would have probably tried to form some kind of accusations against someone based off others suspicions to make it look like I'm not trying to hide so much. I have let myself slip (admittedly a little too far). A scum Helvete wouldn't of slipped like this.

I have also been looking for inconsistent behavior from the players who played previously. Zerkalo's stands out to me as she is being more active, questioning more things and generally being more ballsy. It occurred to be that if she rolled scum this time it would be unlikely she would play the same as last game and this game she seems to be playing fairly pro town. I'm finding this very hard to read. She said the vote for urakro was to test for others reactions. Now she has voted for me in a similar way (hit and run) but has said she's posting a case later. This is cool, I can see more reason to make a case for me and it seems like a more reasonable vote based on the way I'm being perceived.

I found Sinny's list really strange and fairly baseless. She is more chill this game but still isn't really giving a lot and really didn't offer anything much after I asked about it. I would really like to see more reasoning behind what she's thinking as right now I'm struggling to pin her as town and I want to.

I have a pool of 5 players I have deduced are most likely scum. I still think targeting a lurker isn't such a bad idea. We take out useless town at worst, mafia at best. We still get everyone's voting patterns and d1 interactions to look back to, a cop check and a night kill which is a huge facet of valuable information. I think for the payoff it's completely worth it compared to probably mis lynching an active town.

I'll review the thread again, and please ask away as I'm sure there were, or are more questions. I have the time today.

It's okay cheesy
Hado can u pm blarraun Cognisant (and whoever else you suggestted) yourself? I don't think QT's around

Anyway vote Helvete
I'll wrote a proper Helvete post tomorrow im really tired bye also this game sucks

I look forward to seeing this, I hope it's not another social experiment :P

Oh Hado if we do duel post I should go first since mine is shortest. I agree with Sinny but she along with RB and Hado I really want to see how they act on day two. I want to see how a lot of people act on day two actually.

Okay, on Gopher: I actually started making my case and have made about 9-10 posts questioning his actions already. So I'll start with this post: http://intpforum.com/showpost.php?p=532508&postcount=246

Gopher, your wording is dodgy as fuck. You state that you can't explain your reasons because you play by intuition. Then when you're pressured to give reasons by Hado because he just can't accept intuition, you give reasons.

You call Cheeseums your, "strongest town read" which turns out to actually just be, "well he's not as scum as my other reads". You've got this huge wealth of experience and know him intimately, your read is weak but you describe it using the word, "strong". Your posts just aren't consistent with one another, and I find them impossible to parse.

Also when I said that I don't believe a Hado-Gopher bus, you said, "actually it IS possible" and I again, denied that I'd buy into that, you came back saying that, "okay so then it's a Cheeseums-Gopher bus?" - you're just strawmanning me here. Me saying, "I don't buy a Hado-Gopher bus" has nothing to do with me thinking that there's a Gopher-Cheeseums bus.

Your motives are unclear, and you're doing a good job of pulling people INTO collective motivation with you. You're experienced enough to know that the win condition of this game is a team one - even if you die, you're setting up the mafia to win because if you flip red, Cheeseums would be next on the chopping block, and he's likely town - unless you're just trying to set up a WIFOM situation where people go, "ooh but Gopher wouldn't so obviously set up Cheeseums that's too obvious!" or some shit.

That said, the Cheeseums-Hado thing is pretty much the only time you've made a case, and otherwise all you've really done is target lurkers. You remind me a lot of Puffy last game. You're more active, a lot of your points are townish - yet your suspicions have all just been tacked onto the coattails of other people's.

You're justifying your ambiguous wording with, "oh but I'm just an ENTP ;)" - which is a joke, but it's playing to the meta. "It's just who I am yo!" isn't and really shouldn't be a viable defence tactic for mafia. It's like the self-voting bullshit from last game, it's just an emotional ploy that makes people instinctively back off because they don't want to violate things potentially personal to them.

Oh Hado if we do duel post

I don't think he wants your case on him. I think he wants you to predict his case against you.


Also, all I have to go on right now is intuition since I'm just skimming when I can and I know everyone hates intuition, but I have soft green reads on both Hado and Goph and I think this pissing contest they're having to decide who's the best mafia player is something that at the very least can be postponed until the next day cycle.

Neither of them have been overtly anti-town and I think day one should be spent focusing on those who are not helping (ie. Happy, pmj, bronto, me (except not me because I'm trying to get out and save everyone the trouble), etc.).

I did not get enough sleep.

Um no, (You know I almost started analyzing viability until I re-read the op) mafia has a role-blocker. Much better to go through the day get a lynch see the nk and hopefully get a cop read first at least. Two would be optimal. I mean sure if the cop was about to get lynched you could argue for it otherwise it's probably a bad idea.

Yeah Reluc, that is an understandable, but horrible idea.

I'm reading through now. Does anything have anything specific they wanted me to address?

Ah, right. I guess I forgot they can RB and NK, dang.

But, here's the thing though. We've got a cop. We don't know who it is, but they can check people at night. Now how do we know what they know? They can't flat out say it or they'd get killed. So they've got to hide. All they can really do is pressure known mafia and hope other people follow along. Or try to deter people from attacking a known Town. In a way, they would look incredibly suspicious, unless it was known they were cop. That made you look really suspicious last game Hado, despite being Town. Maybe this is something Town should keep in mind, but at the same time it seems like the Cop is useless. Help me understand here.

And then we've got a doc. They can choose to save someone. Thinking about it now, a doc saves someone from dying. Does that mean if a doc saves someone, sometimes the victim will tell the doc who tried to kill him? It doesn't look like this is part of the role, but I'm not sure. Also as Town with a doc, how do we help the doc? Would it be best to have certain Townies stand out more than others as potential threats, so the doc has some direction? Also, if doc saves someone, do we know who they saved? This would help a lot. But maybe these are questions I should have asked QT, but I'm only realizing them now.

But
Before we lynch someone, we can at least have them say some last words. This might help if we mis-lynch someone as they can give Town a hint. So we should probably be doing a tally of FOS; and if enough people FOS for a lynch, then they get some last words, then we lynch (or not if the last words are significant enough not to).

@Sinny
I need you to explain why you've been lurking and provide some kind of incite into your strategy for playing Town. You're rather suspicious right now.

@Pmj
Still waiting on why you thought Sinny was playing an authoritarian role. Need a reasonable answer or your as suspicious as Sinny right now.

@Zerk
wow aint RB's post full of shit? "hey guys i suspect gopher but i wont do anything about it until these 4 talk" and then lists a hopeless inactive case among the 4

did you even read last page?

i just checked. bronto has 45 minutes to modkill

It's okay cheesy
Hado can u pm blarraun Cognisant (and whoever else you suggestted) yourself? I don't think QT's around

Hmm, you started off acting Town, but now your against sorting out Lurkers before going after ambiguous reads...strange.
And then you go after Helvete, throwing out a vote and leaving, despite that Helvete has been just as ambiguous as everyone else. This reeks of someone trying to sow a seed of chaos and then posting later to fan the flames. Not buying it. Explain yourself please.

That's your case? :D

Okay, on Gopher: I actually started making my case and have made about 9-10 posts questioning his actions already. So I'll start with this post: http://intpforum.com/showpost.php?p=532508&postcount=246

Gopher, your wording is dodgy as fuck. You state that you can't explain your reasons because you play by intuition. Then when you're pressured to give reasons by Hado because he just can't accept intuition, you give reasons.

Where did I say this? If it's not in quotes it's practically hearsay. I believe I said the initial reason was intuition, aka it looked exactly like what town cheese would have posted. I then went and looked for reasons why my intuition told me that.

You call Cheeseums your, "strongest town read" which turns out to actually just be, "well he's not as scum as my other reads". You've got this huge wealth of experience and know him intimately, your read is weak but you describe it using the word, "strong". Your posts just aren't consistent with one another, and I find them impossible to parse.

Well strongest town read was said on the specific instruction he continue the quality in his posting, which just fyi he hasn't and ended up a scum read then he came in with excuses and I'm kinda null right now.

Also when I said that I don't believe a Hado-Gopher bus, you said, "actually it IS possible" and I again, denied that I'd buy into that, you came back saying that, "okay so then it's a Cheeseums-Gopher bus?" - you're just strawmanning me here. Me saying, "I don't buy a Hado-Gopher bus" has nothing to do with me thinking that there's a Gopher-Cheeseums bus.

Yeah it's totally possible, I was just pointing out that your reasoning was wrong and the reasons for it. When did I ever mention a cheesums-gopher bus? If you can't find the quote I'll assume it doesn't exist. This entire paragraph of yours doesn't make sense to me based on what I remember. At the most all I remember is saying he's just backing me up on the fact we know each other.

Your motives are unclear, and you're doing a good job of pulling people INTO collective motivation with you. You're experienced enough to know that the win condition of this game is a team one - even if you die, you're setting up the mafia to win because if you flip red, Cheeseums would be next on the chopping block, and he's likely town - unless you're just trying to set up a WIFOM situation where people go, "ooh but Gopher wouldn't so obviously set up Cheeseums that's too obvious!" or some shit.

Why would Cheesums be on the chopping block if for the last day I've started to lean scum? Do you have a case that isn't days old? Have you taken into account any new evidence?

That said, the Cheeseums-Hado thing is pretty much the only time you've made a case, and otherwise all you've really done is target lurkers. You remind me a lot of Puffy last game. You're more active, a lot of your points are townish - yet your suspicions have all just been tacked onto the coattails of other people's.

Sure I was the first person to vote for bronto and have been very anti lurker. However this could basically be a case against you apart from you coming at me. Instead of me and hado. The problem I've had is while you have heaps of content on me the people I'm most interested in aren't doing what I need them to do so I can make cases on them. Happy, Hado, Helev, ect (although he recently posted something) I've also done far more than you in other regards. Puffy was middle of the pack active, I'm literally the most active and this is all you have on me?

You're justifying your ambiguous wording with, "oh but I'm just an ENTP ;)" - which is a joke, but it's playing to the meta. "It's just who I am yo!" isn't and really shouldn't be a viable defence tactic for mafia. It's like the self-voting bullshit from last game, it's just an emotional ploy that makes people instinctively back off because they don't want to violate things potentially personal to them.

Well that's obviously an inside joke, also I think almost all the self voters were town.

That's not my defense tactic that's a minor thing that I bring up because every single town game I get into trouble for being me. My defense tactic has always been based around the motivation of my posts and ideas. Something you have hardly touched on because you can't touch on it and reasonably say I'm scum.

I don't think he wants your case on him. I think he wants you to predict his case against you.


Also, all I have to go on right now is intuition since I'm just skimming when I can and I know everyone hates intuition, but I have soft green reads on both Hado and Goph and I think this pissing contest they're having to decide who's the best mafia player is something that at the very least can be postponed until the next day cycle.

Neither of them have been overtly anti-town and I think day one should be spent focusing on those who are not helping (ie. Happy, pmj, bronto, me (except not me because I'm trying to get out and save everyone the trouble), etc.).

Yeah that's what I'm doing. I'm just saying he added the case bit so I figured I would tell him I can't case him anymore.

Is that what he's calling himself now? I thought it was INFP/J

It's an inside joke I shouldn't have got involved with the game. I don't actually know what type I am.

EBWOP: The point being that you're pulling more people into unclear territory by doing this, which means the game gets harder as it goes on, not easier.

Oh? I really want you to extrapolate on this? Who would be clear if not for me? Why would they be clear? I am really interested in your reasoning here. Now sure I get that mafia can cloud things but at the same time this is interesting.

Ah, right. I guess I forgot they can RB and NK, dang.

But, here's the thing though. We've got a cop. We don't know who it is, but they can check people at night. Now how do we know what they know? They can't flat out say it or they'd get killed. So they've got to hide. All they can really do is pressure known mafia and hope other people follow along. Or try to deter people from attacking a known Town. In a way, they would look incredibly suspicious, unless it was known they were cop. That made you look really suspicious last game Hado, despite being Town. Maybe this is something Town should keep in mind, but at the same time it seems like the Cop is useless. Help me understand here.

And then we've got a doc. They can choose to save someone. Thinking about it now, a doc saves someone from dying. Does that mean if a doc saves someone, sometimes the victim will tell the doc who tried to kill him? It doesn't look like this is part of the role, but I'm not sure. Also as Town with a doc, how do we help the doc? Would it be best to have certain Townies stand out more than others as potential threats, so the doc has some direction? Also, if doc saves someone, do we know who they saved? This would help a lot. But maybe these are questions I should have asked QT, but I'm only realizing them now.

Okay well, basically that last day last game hado was supposed to come in and give his reads and call cop. But he died before he could. Cop would have been useful in that scenario no? It's not a win game thing but it's a big help in the right situations.

Doc can pick someone to save. If mafia targets them then they don't die at night the doc would obviously know who they saved and are free to reveal that if they want to. If both doc and cop are alive at day 3 if they both give information that could help the town win easy. Well then we get wifom, will the mafia target the biggest town or someone who is town but not obvious. The doc should just target who he things mafia will target and try not to make it too complicated.

That's your case? :D

My defense tactic has always been based around the motivation of my posts and ideas. Something you have hardly touched on because you can't touch on it and reasonably say I'm scum.

Again you're distorting what I'm saying.

My votes so far have been on Pmj and Bronto, and I've expressed suspicion of moree people than just you. I wonder why you're assuming that you're my top target?

My point is that your posts are just completely unclear and I can't parse the things you say, because you're inconsistent - and you need to give me a better reason for you being inconsistent than just, "it's my personality".

Also last game 2 self-voters out of 4 turned out to be mafia. Artsu, Puffy, ESC and Cheeseums were the self-voters.

Oh I responded in bold inside the quote.

Fair but either way why bring it up if it's 50-50 and means nothing?

Also are you going to respond to the bulk of the post, because you've literally only commented on the inside joke and not...anything else?



Also if by target lurkers you mean question and harrass over posting amount and motivation. Happy hado, you, PMJ (for acting scummy who technically isn't lurking at this point) Bronto, Urakro at the start of the game for saying weird things Cheeseum when he stopped posting, Helvete and to a lesser extent Sinny 91... THEN YES I'm TARGETING LURKERS.

Also if you read the bold in your quote I'm saying you're distorting reality to make this case something only mafia needs to do.

Dude what the fuck? :ahh:

This is what I mean when I say you're impossible to parse. At least use a different colour or something so that it's immediately obvious that there's a response in the quote. Last response you did some weird as shit formatting of Cheeseums posts, then Hado's, now you're on a new format for mine.

Anyway, reading now, will respond soon.

If I'm not your top target why is your only case on me? Oh because you're top targets are two lurkers? Go on mafia you can do it! Make a case I can't tear to shreds.

(to be fair though I would still prefer a lurker lynch but I feel I'm gonna have a pretty good case for why RB didn't suddenly become incompetent town)

Also, this make it fucking impossible to actually quote your post since I have to go and manually copy-paste, add quote tags and chop out all of my stuff to do so. Then the quote box also won't have a link back to your original post either, so if anyone ever wants to reference the shit that you've said - I can't just click the little blue arrow, I have to again manually go and fucking find it buried in the thread somewhere to do it.

Holy shit, this might be the best frustration tactic ever invented.

Yeah sorry about that trying to find one that works.

Here is my comments removed from yours if it helps.

Where did I say this? If it's not in quotes it's practically hearsay. I believe I said the initial reason was intuition, aka it looked exactly like what town cheese would have posted. I then went and looked for reasons why my intuition told me that.


Well strongest town read was said on the specific instruction he continue the quality in his posting, which just fyi he hasn't and ended up a scum read then he came in with excuses and I'm kinda null right now.

Yeah it's totally possible, I was just pointing out that your reasoning was wrong and the reasons for it. When did I ever mention a cheesums-gopher bus? If you can't find the quote I'll assume it doesn't exist. This entire paragraph of yours doesn't make sense to me based on what I remember. At the most all I remember is saying he's just backing me up on the fact we know each other.

Why would Cheesums be on the chopping block if for the last day I've started to lean scum? Do you have a case that isn't days old? Have you taken into account any new evidence?

Sure I was the first person to vote for bronto and have been very anti lurker. However this could basically be a case against you apart from you coming at me. Instead of me and hado.

Happy, Hado, Helev, ect (although he recently posted something) I've also done far more than you in other regards. Puffy was middle of the pack active, I'm literally the most active and this is all you have on me?

Well that's obviously an inside joke, also I think almost all the self voters were town.

Well I'll take note of it for next time I play mafia.

Next time I'll take the time to split up your posts in quotes so it's easier for you.

Why are these mutually exclusive?

You make a lot of stuff just about yourself, you also assume everyone has you as their top scum read and post a lot of stuff where it's not instantly obvious what you mean. It's not hard to see why this is misleading, the ambiguity is always leaving you an exit and it's on us for not understanding everything exactly how you meant.

You can just quote the post it's in and delete the stuff you aren't trying to quote and the blue arrow is there.

I mean, of all the things to be frustrated about a couple extra clicks on what you're quoting is far from heinous.

I was reading redbaron's case against gopher. I kinda cleared gopher from my suspicions, so I was wondering how long this is going to go on. But there's one point red makes which is that gopher's posts are near un-parseable, and they make me dyslexic. But then I just chocked that up to me not being able to understand. Perhaps, I go back and actually try to understand gopher.

Gopher who is your #1 suspect?

I will give you at least 24 hours before the lynch to respond to it Gopher. There will be no coup. I'm holding off, I have my reasons.

Gopher's response:


Well now that's concerning... Not for me because once the days get longer there's no way I'm getting lynched but it seems strange you would bet so much on a case like this. Mafia want's to get cases as late as possible to put people on the back foot and give them less time to respond/make a counter case. Also keep in mind this is a majority lynch so how about 30 hours before?

Speaking of, don't lynch someone based off a case when they haven't had time to respond. I wanted to post this at the start because of the Hado situation last game but I forgot.

When I asked gopher questions, I got similar silly responses, except for when I asked if he was nervous. I'd have to read, and reread, and reread, and reread, and still not understand wtf he was talking about.

@Gopher

I kinda want to help you gopher, but I also want you questioned more. This suggestion shouldn't really help you much if you were mafia, but yeah, be more coherent.

His answer is in RB's quote in the post, it won't even show up when he quotes it. It is actually frustrating as hell :P

Well they aren't so much it's possible for both to exist however I wanted to see how RB reacted first.

Just to be clear I did assume hado and RB had me as top scum reads. In fact it would be weird if they didn't. Now not top target since lurkers exist but top scum read sure. Apart from them I don't think I'm anyone elses top scum read or particularly read at all. I already clarified the post that you quoted was aimed at RB. If I'm not Rb's top scum read then this case on me is confusing to say the least and noncommittal to say the worst. Well not worst but you get the idea.

I do admit I need to be more obvious about what I mean however while this is meta, as mafia I specifically try to be as obvious and clear as possible as I know if I make an error as mafia it's harder to clean up compared to when I'm town and it's easy to prove my innocence.

However and again this isn't a defense and it's totally understandable why anyone would be suspicious of me apparently clear communication isn't my strong spot. Hence why I post so much to clear up the misconceptions.

I'm aware, and it's really very easy to just copy paste the quote and then quote the post itself.

And if anyone's saying that formatting is a sign of being red, it's very clearly a matter of convenience for him. Rather than copy/paste all the
tags he's just commenting inside them. He's just trying to save himself the same trouble you people are bitching about.

I do have dysgraphia but I don't think I'm dyslexic. If anything once the game is over people might be able to type me off it which will be interesting.

My easy/all day brain functions off a heap of intuition which then turns into making cases Ti which means my reasoning isn't always clear even if the logic is sound. To compensate posting more helps. Alternatively I could post much less use something more like Ti only and burn out quicker.

As cheese said though poor formatting isn't a mafia sign particularly but right now it looks like Cheesumpuffs is almost buddying me and finding easy obvious things to say. Can you give your reasons if you don't think I'm scum cheese?

I'm fine to have more questioning and I'll make my best effort to be clear. I work best being questioned because when I am I can fix any misunderstandings.

I know it was directed at RB, the question just made no sense to me. It also seemed like you pretty much assumed everyone has you as a top scum read just because hado and rb have you as their top scum read. While I obviously want to hear their reasoning and will take it into account, I can't take their word for it. For the same reasons I couldn't trust rb and hado last game when they're were saying how confident they were of each other as being town, it looked way too suspicious to just take their word for it.

But when you ask stuff that clearly makes no sense it doesn't help your case in clearing yourself from being scum.

Sorry Gopher this case is hard to write without wifoming the living fuck out of town.

You understand I'm sure. Your meta is hard to parse.

I'm still writing it, I'm not sure how long it'll take though. Don't feel like you have to hang around waiting if that's what you're doing. There's no reason I shouldn't have it done by the 24 hour mark, it's just taking longer than expected is all.

Like what stuff? Based on how RB was posting if he didn't have me as a top scum read he probably wouldn't be town because why would town only pursue a mild scum read? Same with hado but he explicitly said it.

Well to be clear I'm pretty sure almost everyone else has me as either town or Null. Feel free to enlighten me.

Well look. If it's going to be that much wifom is it actually in our best interest to pursue it day one? It makes no sense to vote for someone based on a lot of wifom and you may as well wait til you have actual proof. RB doesn't seem keen on voting for me since apparently I'm not his top target despite his case on me and nobody else. If the people against me can't bring up a case/aren't focused on me then are you even serious about this lynch?

Yeah sorry about that trying to find one that works.

Here is my comments removed from yours if it helps.

Much appreciated :^)

Gopher said:

On Page 3 you just came out saying Cheeseums was Town and just started giving reasons after Hado literally hammered you foor it and told you to stop playing coy. Also, this gem:

The Gopher said:
Yes to second point. Okay fair maybe I'm not clearly portraying my intentions in a manner people can understand clearly. That said I generally only do that as Mafia these days since I don't have to worry so much as town.

WIFOM'ing the shit out of my reads.

That's actually my bad, I didn't read what you quoted from me and I thought you were deflecting the bus to Cheeseums.

Goph said:
Well strongest town read was said on the specific instruction he continue the quality in his posting, which just fyi he hasn't and ended up a scum read then he came in with excuses and I'm kinda null right now.

Convenient timing, but I have him as a null read for the same reasons so whatever.

Gopher said:

If you can't find the quote I'll assume it doesn't exist. This entire paragraph of yours doesn't make sense to me based on what I remember. At the most all I remember is saying he's just backing me up on the fact we know each other.

I made this post.

And I thought you responded to that with this.

That's actually my bad, I didn't read what you quoted from me but because you posted directly after me, I thought you were deflecting the Hado-Gopher bus to Cheeseums-Gopher bus (because I wasn't buying it).

Gopher said:
Why would Cheesums be on the chopping block if for the last day I've started to lean scum? Do you have a case that isn't days old? Have you taken into account any new evidence?

Since it doesn't look like you're deflecting a bunch of busses, he wouldn't necessarily.

Gopher said:
Sure I was the first person to vote for bronto and have been very anti lurker. However this could basically be a case against you apart from you coming at me. Instead of me and hado. The problem I've had is while you have heaps of content on me the people I'm most interested in aren't doing what I need them to do so I can make cases on them. Happy, Hado, Helev, ect (although he recently posted something) I've also done far more than you in other regards. Puffy was middle of the pack active, I'm literally the most active and this is all you have on me?

So wait a second, the part in blue: You can use the argument against me that I'm only going for lurkers...even though I've been going for you when you even admit that you're the most active in the entire thread?

:ahh::ahh:

I don't really have that much issue with your responses, except for the fact that you're still saying inconsistent shit. But the bussing was a mistake on my part and I know I also tunneled on ESC for lots of inconsistencies, when it turned out he really was just inconsistent.

My problem is this: I actually can't read you either way because you've basically just made everything one big clusterfuck of inconsistent and impossible to understand garble. If you stop doing that, then fine. If you keep doing it, I can't ignore it because it keeps raising red flags - I have to ask you A LOT more questions than others to just to get you to say what you actually mean by things.

Also the fact that you are very experienced, good at playing scum and could easily play this game to a mafia victory makes me not want to give you a free pass. In your words, if you were scum would you actually allow yourself to come up red? Probably not - but I really don't know how scum would avoid it. If there's people who can see through your filters, then why not?

I've seen quite a few games where experienced and really good scum players get ousted as scum early on just because they happened across 1 person who happened to be attuned to their particular brand of bullshit. Feel free to make your case, mine's finished - and yes it was primarily to do with the bussing/the inconsistencies in your posting and the way that you seemingly distort what I'm posting.

But again, that's not necessarily a mafia thing and I'd rather not keep lynching people just for being the most inconsistent because it seems to turn out shit.

I kinda like the idea of you waiting forever. That said at the same time I think you should bring it up if only so I can see what you were thinking/you can answer those questions.

Oh and dw I have nothing else to do right now.
