Oh, I forgot that. :/ @ KN
Why the :/ ?
Because I don't like being reminded of my failures and I don't want to have to re-read Pride to double check things. I like it when my reads are solid.

In the meanwhile I'd like to hear your takes on those two guys, if you don't mind.
Void and rezombad? Sure. Glad to see you getting involved, by the way. You're lacking a lot of reads, but I like your thought process on most others.

rezombad. Didn't like his first post questioning someone's RVS vote on him. Self-conscious. His next two posts were better, except for the "Iso: Does Kaze look scummy to you right now?" question that I asked him about in my catch-up post. Pushed a "speak now" nameclaim which is easily the most detrimental way to do this as town. These two [url=http://diestoremoval.com/
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1895&p=131653#p131653]posts[/url] feel like town rezombad. His pushing of the Kaze wagon could go either way. I need him to get more involved (partially to decide what his motivation was for not being involved), but he's pretty close to null at the moment.

Void. Vote parks CM with his first vote. Fairly legit reasoning, but doesn't follow through. Defends Iso, but has a null read. Fairly legit reasoning for his vote on TubeHunter, with a townie thought process for clearing imopen2 and Slowpoke. I've played with Void a couple of times. We were always town together, so I don't have a read on his scum game. He's not posting nearly as much as he normally does, but that's likely due to the different site. Overall, leaning town.

Void! You said your vote on the Captain wasn't moving. Is he still scum?

I don't want to have to re-read Pride to double check things. I like it when my reads are
solid.
It probably is. I'd give Pride a 90% chance of being town. Just cautioning you against making the same mistake you did before.
I skimmed Red's T/S list. Someone tell me about it. I'm tired.
Lots of null reads. A few new reads. Plenty of original content which shows he actually put his own work into it. I like it, overall. The only person he really fence-sat on was imopen.

@Everyone:

Keep in mind that I signed up to play this game to help a friend out. My activity was going to be low because of other Mafia commitments and RL.

That being said, I will post more later if I have the chance too. I will also try to get a good read in soon.

your vote on iso didn't add anything to the game.
uh... what?
I phrased that incorrectly. He voted without adding or intending to add anything. Which is not pro-town.

@rezombad:

- Why did you appeal to Iso in particular regarding my play in post 39?
- Why in the world would you think "speak now" claims would be beneficial to the town?
- What was the main reason
for jumping on my wagon, exactly?
Because I wanted to know what Iso thought of your vote.
More beneficial than popcorn, especially 40 posts into the game.
Your wifom and your jumping onto iso for no raisin.
I invite you to read my posts here: http://diestoremoval.com/search.php?t=1 ... r=rezombad
@Iso: Does Kaze look scummy to you right now?

@Wheat Grinder, Void, CM: How do you feel about a speak now nameclaim?
Why did you ask Iso that question so early on?

Why
did you think speak now would make a name claim a good idea?
Because Kaze looked scummy and I wanted to know what Iso thought, as the wagon was on him.
speak now sounds like a better idea than popcorn 40 posts on.
i was never considering whether i thought you were scummy or not, because voting a wagon for no reason is a scum move in my book, i was waiting to consider your answer to my question, and i did, and i voted as a result.
So, what you're saying is, you're not voting for people for acting scummy, you're voting arbitrarily?
@Iso:

- Why do you like Cursed_Pride?
He's competent and his analysis seems legit.
Disregarding the admittedly completely random vote in the beginning?
rezombad. Didn't like his first post questioning someone's RVS vote on him. Self-conscious.
So, I should just ignore anything that I think is scummy if it's directed at me because that would be self-conscious and therefore scummy?

How 'bout that votecount, Yanni?

"So, what you're saying is, you're not voting for people for acting scummy, you're voting arbitrarily?"

That's not what I was saying at all. Kaze said It looked like I was always going to cast my vote on him regardless of his response. I was explaining that I felt his actions had been scummy but I was waiting to see his answer to my question in case I missed something or he had some reasoning that he had been keeping to himself. When he repeated the same thing he had been saying, that I didn't believe, I voted him.

I think I've tried my best to avoid reads based on my likings of the subject's playstyle (ref: Stardust), but Void's behaviour strikes me bad on multiple levels.
I've also tried to ask you an opinion on the matter in a previous post (without explicitly saying his name, though), if I remember correctly.
Could you restate the question you wanted my opinion on? I must have missed it.

"#swag" is an obvious reason? "/in before stardust" is an obvious reason? It's called the random voting stage. People vote at random.

unvote
vote: stardust
I don't even know what this means. Going to Boondocks now to check your reaction to pressure there. This is weird.

Boondocks posts

Vote rezombad

Got a live one.

Is there a reason more people aren't voting rezombad?
Is there a reason for voting me, other than lolnoob randomvote?
I'd rather lynch
fate, imopen, or rezmo
Any reason why you'd want to lynch me besides the random vote at the beginning?

If that's it, fine, I just want to know the case against me.
Okay, meta check. Read through Boondocks (where rezombad was scum). The spoilered posts above looked pretty familiar. He also ducked out for days at a time in that game, making quite a few promises to catch-up. He's done that this game a couple times too.

Read through Bioshock (where rezombad was town). Felt like a very different poster. Much more engaged and much more certainty in his language (even going so far as to refer to imopen as "scum" in place of his name for a time). Never disappeared for days at a time. He did vote with little supporting reasoning a few times, so that's consistent.

Lastly, I read through this game. On the reread, a lot of rezombad's language is that same uncertain tone that I saw in Boondocks.

"I actually have no idea if
what Iso did is scummy, but I'm sure he did it on purpose (i.e. kaze's newbie mafia), what reactions he was looking for, I have no idea. But I don't want to try to out-Iso Iso, and I got some good reads off of it."
-- "But I don't want to try to out-Iso Iso" doesn't really make sense coming from a townie. rezombad never showed this uncertainty in Bioshock.

"Was my vote on Iso serious? Sure, I knew Iso was up to something, and I don't know what. Could it be scummy? Sure, and I don't want to take Iso's word for whatever it is he was planning to do."
-- "Sure" was a sticking point in Boondocks for a time.

"Do you honestly think your posts have been pro town? As far as I can tell, you havn't been scumhunting or attempting to gather information for the town and even admitted as such earlier."
-- "Do you honestly think your posts have been pro town?" is a really weak language choice.

"I phrased that incorrectly. He voted without
adding or intending to add anything. Which is not pro-town."
-- More of the same.

I guess I should dig in Boondocks to find similar posts.
More from Boondocks
In fact, I wouldn't be opposed to a name soft-claim to lock people into their claim. Who's down?
Sure?
fos imopen2

Saying 'I was intoxicated when I posted that, I even said so in the post' is not a defense when someone says that something you did was scummy. I don&#
39;t know the significance or accuracy of Manders' read, but your reaction doesn't put me at ease.
I tried to explain why you look scummy Suga. I went post by post. I feel that early on, you wagoning might not have been a big deal. But, your recent loud posts and the proxyvote to nuwen give my vote some more legs.
Okay, good enough. Someone check my work, please. I've been blinded by OMGUS before. His latest response to my questions is weird enough, and far enough from his previous town play, that I'm feeling pretty confident that rezombad is scum.

Could you restate the question you wanted my opinion on? I must have missed it.
I was referring to this post:
Welcome Tubehunter, tell us something.
Sup, lurker?
I was wondering... you're quite experienced at this mafia-thing here, and we pretty much know each other since forever and shit, so I think I can ask you this question without being misunderstood:
I'll never be able to be as aggressive as you have been in other games, yet I find very
difficult to call people scum without having good reads on them because, you know, I just feel bad.

I guess that's not a good thing, because it prevents me from contributing.
At the same time, I see people being very active without ever following up with any *real* content, except some "will post later" here and there - what's your opinion on that?
I'd like to clarify that with "active" I meant something more like "aggressive" than "posting often".

Oh, right, the deflection. :D

My opinion is that it in itself means nothing. If Void were here all the time and not posting any content that'd be one thing, but I see him very sporadically here and on MTGS so I'm inclined to believe he has real time constraints.

@rezombad: I didn't have an issue with it because he didn't indicate at all that he was using some sort of vote-deciding mechanic to make his random vote, as opposed to rolling a die or using random.org to do it, for example.
I direct your attention to pornstar mafia:
http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=526336

The only game of the 10 or so that I checked that had naked votes in the Random Voting Stage. Two in fact! Both belonging to mafia.
"A vote that is demonstrably random carries no motivation to be read into, and is completely informationless. This is not the intent of the "random voting stage"." -MS Wiki

n
Explain to me exactly why you're after Stardust now, rezombad.
I wanted to put some pressure on him. And got colon-rupturing OMGUS in response.
After voting for Iso (which is all well and good), he asks slowpoke if he had put the third vote on iso as a joke (it was the fourth), then completely ignores kaze voting iso for no reason, even replying with half-assed support for a name-claim* calls slowpoke overly defensive for responding to a question I asked almost exactly the same as Stardust himself responded.
At this point Kaze is probably town-aligned to me, just because Stardust, my #2 Scumspect has so deliberately avoided more than cursory contact with him.
*'Meta Check' post:
This is why my vote is going to be on Stardust for most of the day probably, the OMGUS and
slandering is so hard here I think I have cancer now.

Context is a very huge part of this game, and Stardust very deliberately misuses the context of the quotes in order to slander me.

I have to make a lot of assumptions in order to address this alleged meta check of me because stardust doesn't actually draw any conclusions.

--'Quoted Posts'
I am assuming that the "familiar looking posts" are to be compared to my first post where I asked CP why when he random voted in his first post.
I explained earlier that I would have asked the question regardless of who CP placed his vote for, because naked RVS votes are scummy to me. I did it in boondocks, and the games that I have seen it in have had scum doing it.
That said, I was going to pressure him more but after Iso did his thing (that has since been edited by a mod or admin, which I wholly disapprove of, especially if someone were to replace in and not see the original post) I wanted to put some pressure over to Iso and see who was
quick to wagon.

The first quoted post is my 6th post in any mafia game ever and I wanted to understand why I was being voted.
The second, Yanni came out of nowhere saying he'd be willing to lynch me, it was fitting to ask if there was a case against me beyond what had already been established.

--he also ducked out for days at a time in that game'
I notice a couple gaps in your play in this game too, but that doesn't make you scum to me.
As someone who has a life and a demanding job with very long and sometimes strange hours, I participate as much as I can. It's null at best. And if I weren't in another game (that I just caught up on) I'd say I was flavorgaming.

-- "But I don't want to try to out-Iso Iso" doesn't really make sense coming from a townie. rezombad never showed this uncertainty in Bioshock.
Iso wasn't in bioshock, and I dont think what I did was uncertain at all so again we have Stardust deliberately misinterpreting the situation.
I didn't know what was happening
so I grabbed the bull by the horns and pushed my own scumhunting agenda.

"-- "Sure" was a sticking point in Boondocks for a time."
This is the big one for me. The sure from this game was in response to a question I asked myself "Was my vote on Iso serious? Sure, I knew Iso was up to something, and I don't know what." The sure that he's referencing and quoting at the end of his post was Manders me responding "Sure?" to Manders asking who wanted to do a name claim.
So we see Stardust twisting context to make connections that don't really exist. Theres a big difference between using sure as a synonym for 'yes.' and 'yes?'. Manders did push me on the 'Sure?', because it was uncertain and weak and half assed. My 'sure' this game is none of those things, I was using it as a synonym for yes.

-- "Do you honestly think your posts have been pro town?" is a really weak language choice.
-- More of the same.
It seems weak but it was actually in
reference to the 'supplemental reading' that kaze linked that you apparently missed in your reread.

---

I haven't done my full reread yet and I probably won't be able to till at least Friday but I read their back and forth over. I think it is town v. town...

I liked stardust's case on slowpoke a lot and I think he is my most confirmed townie so far, but I don't like his case on rezombad as much. a lot of meta analysis on someone who is only in their third or fourth game, i'm not sure if it is as accurate as when applied to a player with more
history. his absences, for example, could be just RL related. If their is scum between them it is rezombad, no question.

You think Stardust's case is weak but rezombad is the scum...?

no that's not what i said. i think they are both town. but if i were wrong, rezombad is the scum, not stardust.

Okay. So why rezombad if Stardust's case is so weak against him?

you asked a question: is stardust vs. rezombad a town v. town, town v. scum, or scum v. scum exchange? like i said, stardust is town but might be grasping in his case against rezombad, and i think rezombad is town as well. that means it is town v. town. IF, there were a scum among the two, it would be rezombad because just cause stardust's case is weak, imo, doesn't mean it is wrong. i think rezombad is much more likely scum than stardust is. does that make sense?

It does make sense.

So, what don't you like about rezombad, then?

And who is your strongest scumread while you're at it?

Hmm... That's a lot of words.
After voting for Iso (which is all well and good), he asks slowpoke if he had put the third vote on iso as a joke (it was the fourth), then completely ignores kaze voting iso for no reason, even replying with half-assed support for a name-claim* calls slowpoke overly defensive for responding to a question I asked almost exactly the same as Stardust himself responded.

At this point Kaze is probably town-aligned to me, just because Stardust, my #2 Scumspect has so deliberately avoided more than cursory contact with him.
Oh hey! You're doing that thing again! Where you just recap everything someone has done instead of really thinking about it.

Also, scum tend to avoid contact with their
scum buddies, not with townies, so I'm not sure how you're coming to the conclusion that Kaze is town based on me being scum. Are you buddying?
*'Meta Check' post:
This is why my vote is going to be on Stardust for most of the day probably, the OMGUS and slandering is so hard here I think I have cancer now.

Context is a very huge part of this game, and Stardust very deliberately misuses the context of the quotes in order to slander me.

I have to make a lot of assumptions in order to address this alleged meta check of me because stardust doesn't actually draw any conclusions.
It was a bit rushed, yes. I also didn't want to introduce my own bias since meta is a dangerous thing to work with. Letting people draw their own conclusions is better for stuff like this.
I am assuming that the "familiar looking posts" are to be compared to my first post where I asked CP why when he random voted in his first post.
I explained earlier that I would have asked the question regardless of who CP placed his vote for, because naked RVS votes are scummy to me. I did it in boondocks, and the games that I have seen it in have had scum doing it.
That said, I was going to pressure him more but after Iso did his thing (that has since been edited by a mod or admin, which I wholly disapprove of, especially if someone were to replace in and not see the original post) I wanted to put some pressure over to Iso and see who was quick to wagon.
What you did in Boondocks is completely different than what Cursed Pride did here. You didn't say before that your issue was with naked votes, you said it was with random votes. Anyway, how is
Pride's vote any more naked than the Captain's vote?

(Also, I don't think Iso's post was edited. Something in the site's code was changed, making Iso's tags suddenly work.)
The first quoted post is my 6th post in any mafia game ever and I wanted to understand why I was being voted.
The second, Yanni came out of nowhere saying he'd be willing to lynch me, it was fitting to ask if there was a case against me beyond what had already been established.
Wait a sec. Are you defending your actions in your scum game? I already know why you asked the questions in that game - you were concerned that there was pressure being put on you. Most scum are. My point here is that you didn't do this at all in your town game, and now you're back to doing it here.
I notice a couple gaps in your play in this game too, but that doesn't make you scum to me.
As someone who has a life and a demanding job with very long and sometimes strange hours, I participate as much as I can. It's null at best. And if I weren't in another game (that I just caught up on) I'd say I was flavorgaming.
Yep, could be true. Or could be that you find it harder to post as scum, so you don't find the time. I've seen it before. It's definitely not null when there's a pattern of behaviour.

Funny that you try to flip this back on me. I guess it's lucky that I'm active and engaged whether I'm town or scum.

What does the bolded mean?
-- "But I don't want to try
to out-Iso Iso" doesn't really make sense coming from a townie. rezombad never showed this uncertainty in Bioshock.
Iso wasn't in bioshock, and I dont think what I did was uncertain at all so again we have Stardust deliberately misinterpreting the situation.
I didn't know what was happening so I grabbed the bull by the horns and pushed my own scumhunting agenda.
"I don't think" therefore "Stardust deliberately misinterpreted" doesn't flow. You're reaching.

My problem is not that you voted Iso. I agree that you grabbed the bull by its horns - that was a good thing. The bad thing came later when you started saying it might have been scummy, it might not have been scummy, but maybe we should leave Iso alone now because I'm not looking for a fight. That's how I read that post.

[quote="rezombad » Wed Nov 06, 2013 8:46 pm":
3c04pp4q]"-- "Sure" was a sticking point in Boondocks for a time."
This is the big one for me. The sure from this game was in response to a question I asked myself "Was my vote on Iso serious? Sure, I knew Iso was up to something, and I don't know what." The sure that he's referencing and quoting at the end of his post was Manders me responding "Sure?" to Manders asking who wanted to do a name claim.
So we see Stardust twisting context to make connections that don't really exist. Theres a big difference between using sure as a synonym for 'yes.' and 'yes?'. Manders did push me on the 'Sure?', because it was uncertain and weak and half assed. My 'sure' this game is none of those things, I was using it as a synonym for yes.[/quote]
Sure is never a synonym for yes. It's weak language. You're right that this situation is different, but it's just as noncommital.
-- "Do you honestly think your posts have been pro town?" is a really weak language choice.
-- More of the same.
It seems weak but it was actually in reference to the 'supplemental reading' that kaze linked that you apparently missed in your reread.
What does an external source have to do with you talking to Kaze? If he's scum, you call him scum, not "not pro town".
@Stardust Who is your third scum suspect?
Things have been shifting a bit, so I'd have to rethink to make sure this is the right answer, but I'm liking a Slowpoke, Captain, rezombad scum team at the moment. The rezombad/Slowpoke pairing makes a lot of sense given Slowpoke's jump onto Iso following what he thought was a scum slip you caught.

Sorry about your colon and your cancer, by the way.


I liked stardust's case on slowpoke a lot and I think he is my most confirmed townie so far...
This is concerning me. You played with me in KNM. You know I'm capable of putting forward a good case as scum. Why do you think I'm town?

Bah. I hadn't rezombad nor Stardust on my scumdar before this him v. him thing sprouted up.

Why do you guys have to do this to me? D:

@Everyone but Stardust and rezombad: Does the aforementioned exchange sound like Town v. Town, Town v. Scum, or Scumbussing and why?
Town v. Scum, where rezombad is scum and Stardust is town.

I believe rezombad is trying to push a mislynch on Stardust.

Can we kill Rezombad yet?

Please?
Last time you mentioned rezombad was in this post, a week ago, where you said he might be town. Did you check his meta? What's your reasoning here?

I don't like rezombad answers at all, it seems like we've got some scum panicking here.
I also can't come up with a good reason to read this as bussing, I don't think mafia would gain anything from a sacrifice at this point of the game.
