Re: VFM 49: Day 1

@0verk1ll, if you haven't already answered this, can you please confirm if SK basically can choose which switches to flip, or if he reverses all three as 1 charge?

Quickly bumping this out of spoiler so that 0ver sees this ^

Another post that shouldn't come from town, emphasis on the hard AtE doesn't sit right
GrumpyGoomba wrote:I hope that through some magical luck the cop check is on me and it succeeds and I am hopefully cleared.

Post here is unnatural from town and makes me believe two things
1. It's an attempt at AtE to get the cop to not check
2. Goomba's the SK and chose cop immunity

This earns a ! from me. I totally forgot that the SK could become cop immune in this game, and didn't think of that when reading these. This actually makes way too much sense.

Yeah, so Eragon, I really don't think I agree on your Goomba read, then.

GrumpyGoomba wrote:It's the opposite about 1 actually, I WANTED the cop to check me so that I would be cleared. About 2, my dumbass just didn't read the cop part in the vig/cop immunity choice and that's why I made that stupid statement.

Responses in bold.

Okay, so now it's a !!!

Anyone else think that this was an attempt to get us to think that he was trying to slip not being SK with this?

Dash2 wrote:AtE = Attack through Empathy. Basically when you try to use emotion to gain towncred

Close, but not quite. It's Appeal to Emotion. It generally means that instead of using logic and reason to get your way, you use emotions and plead with others to sympathize with you enough to vote/perform actions that are more favorable to you.

See above

I really don't see how speculating on whether SK or Mafia would be good to lynch first is something that would harm him much in the long run since it's relatively unlikely town will have the decent option to differentiate between SK and Mafia and thus choose between SK and Mafia in a gamestate, and even if there were such an opportunity town would just speculate then anyways

For the same reason I don't really see how speculating on that would help that much at all for town but w/e, i'd probably push a similar point as scum for towncred lol

unless you have other progressions in mind which you think are unlikely to come from scum!rick?

Flake, what do you make of my responses to Qvapil, then? Do you disagree with my basis to Town read him? And did you really walk into this game with such a clear mind of what Town should be doing in this game that you felt the question wasn't worth asking at all?

Dash2 wrote:Visualize

SK charge: 8

SK uses charge
Mafia switches used: 2

SK now has 6 charges

Ok now I'm confused again. Did 0verk1ll not say that the only change he made to the SK's card was that the SK was free to use 1 charge per switch of his choice, and wasn't limited to only changing 1 switch per night? Because during signups, the original SK card said something to that effect.

@0verk1ll, if you haven't already answered this, can you please confirm if SK basically can choose which switches to flip, or if he reverses all three as 1 charge?

Dash2 wrote:
Each night phase, you may reverse the state of all switches. This will trigger the opposite outcome of how the mafia have left a switch. This will also use up a charge of the switcher if they used it.

Dash, this still runs into the "this game is never going to reach Night 8" point that I brought up with 0ver before the game started. I'm pretty sure what he told us was that each switch the SK targets consumes a charge, and the SK is free to choose which switch they want to target. :?

Honestly, I don't even know anymore. Trying to night plan around the switches is just impossible anyway, so I don't even know why we're bothering with this at this point.

Flake wrote:i would guess they can switch and kill in the same night

I'm nearly dead sure 0ver confirmed this too.

tfiosforevah wrote:I’m okay with either a cupcake Lynch or a crimson lynch, proto zigg should never be lynched at this point in this case since their slot is unreadable at the moment due to inactivity , hopefully a more active player replaces in

As to crimson and cupcake, they have both been actively inactive, crimson moreso than cupcake, by posting barely anything helpful from a townie perspective. IMO, crimson is doing this more than cupcake, but cupcake appears to be the top wagon , so like I said I’m fine with either

So, just to clarify, you're against lynching inactive players, but only the ones who post helpful things from a townie perspective? Like, what?

They're inactive. They're not posting ANYTHING. I don't understand what differences you're trying to draw upon here.

Rickdaily12 wrote:I STILL don't like his acknowledge to Dash at the very end that his posting quality was bad.

Why?

Because if he's fully aware that he's making poor quality posts that are going to get him in trouble, then why is he making them? As Town, it's fine to be brave and put your wild thoughts out there, but if you know that people are going to react in a way that's going to put you in more danger of being killed by the Town, it's probably because he knows that the posts are anti-town in nature and shouldn't be making them in the first place.

Town should be endeavoring themselves to make good quality posts that at worst get reacted to by "can you please explain further", and not "this looks poor and scummy".

ejjinami wrote:Let me repeat my read.
-snip-
I haven’t seen seth play scum, but as town he seemed to care A LOT about the game and everything that happens around him, so I really doubt he’d suddenly stop doing that just because of rolling scum. He should have cared about people’s reads on him, he should have noticed and he should have changed his behavior as scum, because “looking townie” should be sth he gave a shit about.

I can see him shrugging off the SRs and acting ignorant as town though, especially if he really believed his read and didn’t care much about anything else.

The has nothing to do with “rewarding bad behavior”. YES, his posts are bad, but regardless if his strategy is good or not, it doesn’t change the fact that if there’s no scum-motivation for him doing that, it’s probably townie. You can call it TSTBS if you want to.

But who has even seen his scum play, anyway? Does Chemist, of all people, truly even know what to expect what he'd do as one?

Fine, if your stance here is that TSTBS, this is absolutely a logical stance to take, but you have to remember that just because someone is posting like a total VI and not giving a damn about the consequences about posting as said VI, doesn't make them obvious town by virtue of terrible posting. I've seen people try to bang on the way people react to them and try to pass it off as TSTBS VI before. fwogcarf was probably the most recent example of this in Purgatory 2. Fwog made terrible posts around the clock and people threatened to lynch him for doing it NONSTOP right up until he got lynched, and we pretty much did it knowing full well that we couldn't let him live to Judgment Day (and also, forced to choose between fwog/Phone, Phone looked WAY better as Town than fwog looked like a convincing VI)

Look, before we go any further, I just want to reiterate that I don't want to lynch Zucker today. My god, I hope we can clear him somehow, I hope we can Cop him before the Cop dies without even so much as a green check without switch hell ruining that chance for us. But you have to realize that, whether or not Zucker is Town or Scum, the Mafia plan is going to revolve around us putting him in the f3 to decide then if we lynch him or not. Or worse, bet on him screwing it up in the end and have him vote the wrong person.

But just because you see him as TSTBS, and just because you don't see what purposes his posts bring for scum, does not mean there isn't any chance of him being scum. Hell, Ejj, if I had Seth on my Mafia team, I'd tell him to pretty much ignore his role card and be exactly how he is, because I would totally see the way he approaches the game frustrating everyone to the point that they just VI read and ignore him. If he survives to see f3, it would be completely plausible for everyone else to assume it was because Scum wanted him alive to bury the Town. That's how Scum approaches having someone like fwog or Seth on your team- you let them do what they always do, because Town, without a way of clearing that person, both won't want to have to deal with that person, and Scum will let these people live to the very end to frustrate everyone.

If you are trying to argue to me that TBTBS should be cause to NOT Scum Read him, I 100% fully agree with you. It is NOT cause to Town Read him. If you are not scolding me for refusing to drop a TR on Zucker, then we can move on. Otherwise, understand, that VIs who continue to act like VIs in every game already have a meta that works wonderfully for them as Scum. If Town constantly ignores VIs because they always assume that the person is posting the dumbest things to ever be Mafia, then that's how surprises happen the one day the VI finally gets a scum card.

Why can't you see him shrugging off SRs as Scum and being ignorant to everyone's complaints about him? He already gleefully does this as Town under threat of lynch.

ejjinami wrote:And you’re misreading my post. I didn’t say that you were aiming for an easy ML just because of SRing Zuck, the read I posted previously was mostly based on interactions and on the way you defended Grumpy.

Okay, so here. You didn't realize I was playing hypothetical with Dash and not pushing an actual read of Goomba/Zucker at the time, so you're retracting most of the rest of this as a result. I didn't realize that this point was in counter to an actual defense of Goomba and an attempted push against Zucker, so I probably overreacted here as well. Should we just call it a wash?

I think regarding here we're just at a point where we've blown something up over a misread.

Re: VFM 49: Day 1

Spoiler: Okay, so I'm just going to start blatantly by ignoring Zucker x Dash (and by proxy Zucker wanting Flake x Dash) until tomorrow at the earliest. Will add that Zucker's self-meta was also disgusting and I'm not going to agree with Chemist on the read right now, but that's not my concern for today. I easily see worlds where all three are Town here so I'm not going to dive into this.

Qvapil wrote:Thanks for clarifying, but I don't understand how you can read people based on how they view the setup. Town can just not be bothered to think and depend on the stronger players to do the analysis, while scum can try to push their agenda. How would you expect scum to answer you?

I don't. That's not the point of the question. The point of the question was two-pronged.

One, who has the better idea of how to actually handle this game? I didn't, or I least I don't feel that I do, because I think the setup is too complicated to definitively say what the best options for Town are objectively. But two, I asked this question to mindmeld with people and see who seems more trustworthy as a result of the question. Your answer struck me the most, it was the answer that seemed less fakeable and came from more genuinely concerned Town. It wasn't designed to slip Scum (how can it do this?), it was designed to help me PoE by finding more honest Town.

If you're town you should have more to offer than just your role. When you have time could you share your thoughts on some of the players, or make a readslist? Ignore the fact you're being scumread and just talk with us.

Being defeatist is just frustrating and it's just AtE, not helping at all. And again, neither is the openly admitting that you could be making better posts.

They're probably not MvM. I don't THINK that they're SvS (due to the wide push so far by everyone to get one of these two killed), but SK being in the game complicates saying lock TvS at worst. They probably do have at least one Town member, though.

Normally I'd disagree with you about this, especially because it's Zucker saying it, however his list given is just pure shit. The first person I'd look here at is Chemist, but I still think Chemist just acts as loremaster of meta when Town. I might be being too nice to him, but I don't like Zucker's endless repeat of this.

Just popping in to let everyone know, I planned on being on and about tonight, but that was before I had a migraine come on. I can barely think straight even with 800 mgs of Ibuprofen. So that's fun. So I'm just going to go to bed and try to sleep this off.

I might not be on until later in the afternoon unlees my plans get cancelled again, so don't expect me for a little while.

ejjinami wrote:Regardless if Zucker is seth or not, you have to agree they don’t seem to be concerned about appearing townie.
They pushed dash with incredible confidence based on really shitty reasons and seemed to be happy to do so, even when people criticized/voted them for doing it. As I said before, I don’t see sth like that coming from scum often. They would have to be suicidal to intentionally push dash like that, which I think should be more likely to come from town.
Can you comment on that?

Confidence is a sign of being Town, but refusal to address your mistakes in your posts and adjust yourself when confronted is just textbook VI. His post trying to set up the lynch between Dash and Flake so early into the game still pisses me off. He addresses this by pretty much saying "I'm certain that Dash is scum, but if he's Town we can just lynch Flake after" without addressing the case at all where both can be Town.

I don't dislike your reluctance to scum read him. I dislike your disapproval for my lack of Town reading him. I'm not going to reward bad behavior when there's real consequences for the bad ideas he's pushing, and it doesn't make it any easier for me to read him when he doesn't seem to care about issues people keep bringing up to him about his posts. If you're trying to convince me to Town read him, I don't think you have a basis to besides your gut, but right now, I don't agree.

The "Rick just wants the easy ML" bit also feels really extreme for what was going on here as well, and I'm not liking that jump either.

Look, Uzay, I'm probably the king of No-Lynch advocacy. If you want someone to pitch why No Lynch is a good idea for the Town in any given game with proven stats and reasons as to why No Lynch is objectively the safest play for the Town, I will always be that person to make that argument for you.

And, trust me- in this game, there is NO ARGUMENT for No Lynching in this game. Even once we reach 6v1 and Town has Cop-Doctor left standing, it's still probably the wrong move this game around, and we're probably never going to see those kinds of numbers in this game with all the night kills that can happen.

I think Zucker has been a bit more opportunistic in comparison to Goomba as it stands.

:c
I absolutely disagree… I really don’t like that read
All of grumpy’s posts being fluff and them reading the thread, but only responding to stuff unrelated to scum-hunting should be scum-indicative, their posts are tonally bad and I see no reason to forgive that, regardless of how much time has passed.
And how the heck can Grumpy be opportunistic if he doesn’t push anyone at all?

Your stance makes no sense. I strongly disagree with the read and I really don’t like you pushing an alternative “easy ML” in the same post for no exact reason. Actually, it feels like you wrote about Grumpy not being opportunistic just so that you could start talking about Zucker. It makes little sense otherwise
Idk if I’m overthinking it, but oh god, I really, really, REALLY dislike that post.

I’m getting more and more tempted to lynch grumpy today…

1. I'll start by answering the question at the end. Goomba wasn't opportunistic at all, that was my entire point as to why I didn't think he was trying to start a wagon on Dash like Dash asked me at the time. Dash asked me about a wagon on him that formed that I never saw did.
As for the rest of this, yeah, pretty fair, especially now that I can actually ISO Goomba now, as opposed to frantically skimming the whole thread for his posts fresh out of bed. And you're right, his posting quality is shit. I don't like the fluff. I STILL don't like his acknowledge to Dash at the very end that his posting quality was bad.
Your point about the nature of his posts being anti-Town is ultimately totally solid, Ejj, but in complete and total fairness, that's not how people here play. If I lynched everyone for fluffing and posting nothing of substance when a game started, I'd be scum leaning a lot of people who play Town here.

2. Again, this wasn't a read. You're completely missing the context of the question asked. I don't have a read on Goomba- hindsight? He's null at very best to me.
The question addressed to me was: "Rick, what were your thoughts about the wagon on me?"
Between Goomba and Zucker, Zucker was the one trying harder to get Dash lynched. But yes, I absolutely despise the way he's been handling himself this game, and if you think this is me trying to push an easy mislynch and not trying to hear him out, I don't know what else I can tell you.

Rickdaily12 wrote:The reason I asked this question was to test the waters on how everyone else feels about it, though. I like what I got from it.


Could you share your thoughts on our responses rick?

Sure.

Uzay's was hard to read just because of the language barrier, but I think it's pretty in line with the rest of the conversation that lucking out on the SK early enough leads to more breathing room if SK isn't around to kill things. It felt a bit automated though because I don't think he lends enough consideration to the disruption that SK can do to the Mafia later.
Dash, once he finally got around to it, (and rereading his post in hindsight of what he was posting on page 14) clearly misunderstood the Mafia abilities and is just Town as far as I care. His analysis otherwise isn't the greatest as a result, but this is covered later.
I like Chemist's answer the most from a "What to do" perspective, but I wish he broke down the numbers a bit more in order to convince everyone else to see things his way.
Flake more or less +1-ed Chemist, but whatever. I still kinda wanted his opinion in his own words.
Next came your answer, and I more or less explained why I TR you for it and explained why I even bothered asking the question in the first place.

I'm comfortable saying that I like a TR on you for purity and a lean on Chemist for the most sensible approach, everyone else's responses were more typical and didn't touch me as much. I could dive into the other responses after explaining what I wanted from this question if you want me to do that, but having said that, I see less of a point since I more or less told everyone what I was looking for. I definitely wouldn't trust any read on this basis after how I formed yours.

I would be much more sympathetic to this idea if it even looked like he was trying to analyze Dash. No references to any posts, no elaboration, just this garbage.
The only reason I'm reluctant to lynch this is because he's a clear VI choice, but at worst, this is a reason not to scum read him, not a reason to Town read him.

It felt a little insincere when I was looking at it.

The main Issue was I saw claiming as anti-town , when Flake seems that as NAI , The vote went Because I thought From town PoV , It should be seen as anti-town regardless. Answer was good , he stays after their Word which I Like .
And I had no way for proving that is anti-town after Flake Show me Another perspective , from That perspective it could be very well creating WIFOM attempt , which reduce anti-townieness.
With This state , due it is not obvious If it is anti-town from their PoV or not , it would be not logical keeping The vote .
And Actually vote has A press aim,too , but Obviously I didnt Say that when voting .

Uzay your conversation with Flake went a little something like this:

You reacted when you see two people claim Citizen, Flake basically points out to you that the claims are WIFOM at worst.
You vote Flake and accuse him of encouraging role from Scum's POV, but again, Flake points out that the claims were WIFOM at worst and had no basis to be taken seriously.
You have a weird moment where you use emotes and Flake pretty much restates this in full.
Then you unvote him and say that you like his reaction to you.

Checking your time stamps, this conversation unfolded in about a half hour. It's still pretty weird on reread.

Yep, until the Mafia Cop/Doctor switches are dead, we're pretty screwed.

I almost didn't join because of it and that's why I begged for either more citizens or a Town switch role, but no dice.

IF MAFIA VIG DIES THAT MEANS ONE OF THE MAFIA WILL HAVE TO GIVE UP THEIR ACTION TO KILL

I'M BIG DUM

Yeah, but of the three switches, we probably want the Cop switch dead the most. Doctor will probably miss or not matter with Vig/Mafia/SK running around, and Vig usually does more harm than good for the Town anyway.

Re: VFM 49: Day 1

@0verkill, can a Mafia member use their switch action as well as perform the factional kill?

I guess the answer will at least settle this much.

Re: VFM 49: Day 1

Oh, my bad, the person who suggested D1 SK lynch then back off pending outcome was Chemist.

I still like Qva's answer more though and I think his reasoning and concern are pure coming from Town.

Nowhere in the rolecards does it imply you can do both actions, so I'm gonna assume that you have to choose one or the other. There's essentially no real reason for Mafia Vig to not shoot, so that's already giving up one switch. As for Mafia cop, information is vital to them, so not using their cop is also a waste. That brings us down to the Mafia doctor. This one kind of depends on the situation, but I can see the switch being used here.

Oh, so then Mafia has to give up one of their night switches to perform the kill?

Then don't they basically always turn off Cop and Doctor once SK dies? Vig might shoot Mafia, but daring that Vig to start shooting when there's no one to go on other than their own reads still doesn't sound all that much better for us unless we get really lucky.

So you've answered why you think it's impossible or unlikely that Flake and Dash are TvT to you? Because I've been waiting for you to quote that question at me.

If you did answer already, I missed it, and sorry, but I don't think you did.

It's really not a problem anymore now that he outed himself. The only real issue is the meta basis- Seth might be new to FM and all, but there are tricks and tips he's learning not to do around here, and feigning ignorance to those tips isn't going to be an excuse he can carry with himself forever.

That, and he's still ignoring my question. :x

Chemist, why is this his Town meta again?

Whether or not you agree with the course of action, this post screams Town to me. Doesn't feel coached to me either.


You suggested keeping the SK alive earlier, and everyone that has responded to you so far disagreed. What do you think about what we said?

I think that you're right in that it depends. It's still difficult to say- the moment the SK dies, everyone in the Town becomes a Citizen until Day 4. That's pretty brutal, considering that three night kills where everyone is vanilla allows Mafia to kill the PRs and we're left stuck trying to clean up the aftermath of it all. Lynching SK now to preserve the number of dead Town each night is ideal, but unless we can hit them today, which is unlikely, I can't help but feel like Mafia is the big threat all game long for everyone.

The reason I asked this question was to test the waters on how everyone else feels about it, though. I like what I got from it.

Zucker, seriously, you're turning into a walking case example now.

Rickdaily12 wrote: Spoiler: If someone tries to impose a gladiator on a conflict without good reason, you want to pressure that person. You ESPECIALLY want to do this if the person in question isn't confirmed to be Town yet. TvT conflicts happen all the time, but Mafia love when they do, because they can more easily let you keep looking at that conflict waiting for you to decide if you're going to kill into that conflict or egg someone into demanding that someone in that duo/trio/whatever dies.
If people don't have hard evidence that there is Scum in a conflict, people shouldn't be eager to lynch in the issue. Short of having a parity cop check or a confirmed Town which confirms a liar in the pair, if all two people are doing is having a heated argument that really flares up, it could just be temper and ego. At the end of the day, it isn't alignment indicative purely on that basis alone, despite how distracting it just was. Town aren't flawless either, obviously, so sometimes two people just really derail the thread with their argument but turn out to be on the same side. Chances are, you aren't going to know if that conflict has scum unless you have direct evidence to the contrary.
So if all of a sudden, someone shouts "someone in that pair is getting lynched today!" (especially if the Day Phase isn't ending for 24 or more hours...)
You should probably ask that person why they're so certain that the conflict isn't TvT in the first place. Their answer will probably be at least telling.
Keep an open eye out for people who disappeared once the argument started, or just sort of let everything explode out of control and more or less encourage people to take sides on a hypothetical lynch in that pair. Anyone without a solid reason as to why the conflict is certain to be not TvT should have great reasons for it, or looked at for pushing this.

Why are Dash and Flake never TvT to you?

Bumping for Seth's sake, as he's still not answering the question.

It's more a meta read. Flake seems really natural and his progression feels pure to me. I agree that if we talk strictly about the substance that you wouldn't find much there, but based on how I've seen Flake carry himself in other games then he seems exactly like I normally see him to me.

I see. I got confused for a second.

Isn’t it illegal to block someone participating?

It's called a Foe list. From her point of view, it's going to squish everything you post down to a spoiler and make it either to read without having to read your posts (without wanting to).

And no, it's not illegal. It's widely encouraged regarding how to deal with someone you don't like around here.

I just play like that though.
I read until I find a post I don’t like and go off on it and accuse that person.
What’s wrong with that play?
Doesn’t mean I’m not down to vote others but Dash is definitely not Town.

You're still outwardly ignoring a question I've asked you.

If you've read the thread at all, you'd know the one I'm referring to.
