There's nothing WIFOM at all about townies posting all their reads before death.
Scum Xzav might have thought about posting his "town reads", realized he wasn't sure how he should read his buddies, and then said this without thinking.
@Xzavier What's WIFOM about posting town reads?
|
Onegu's apathy about this lynch is very bothersome to me, as town your vote is your strongest weapon and Onegu is just wasting his.
Not sure what it means until I see the flip, but not having an opinion on either of these candidates is weird.
|
@Xzavier What do you think about Onegu?
|
I still think that Xzav is the best lynch for today, but Onegu is at least someone to look into heavily tomorrow.
|
Xzav's recent posts are pretty null to me. They could be genuine, but the just as easily could be scum trying to redirect the lynch. Scum could have seen that Aqua wasn't going to happen, but they might be able to push the lynch off on Alaka. With 5 hours left in the day, there's no reason for scum Xzav to give up. Agree?
It helps that I have a town read on everyone on the Xzav wagon, so I really don't think that scum is pushing this wagon at all. I'd be surprised if there are no scum at all on a town wagon.

Spicy and hz, did you read my case? It didn't convince you at all?
And if you put your vote on someone random, and then don't push their lynch at all, you are wasting your vote.

I also like the part where he said that I was letting you do all of the posting.
If we were to do some voteswitch shennanies, I assume that you'd want to switch to Onegu?

Your case on Sponge? I have Sponge (and you) as strong town. I didn't much like Sponge's early game policy stuff either, but his recent posting is really townie. Look at page 2-3 of his filter particularly. He's freely offering opinions, posting a lot, interacting with others in a very townie way.
Your case only looks at his early posting, but look at his recent posting, because that's where the towniness is.
When I said "my case on Xzav", I meant this one: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=417692¤tpage=25#495 Has everyone read this? I'm getting the feeling that it was missed.

I'd prefer to let him post for another day and improve my read on him, I can still believe his play from town or from scum at this point. If we absolutely had to switch, I'd say Alakaslam or StiMaDDict, but they would basically be policy lynches for me. I don't think this thread is going to progress much until Xzavier flips though, so I'm very much opposed to shenanigans at this point. Let's face it, if we don't lynch him today, we'll spend tomorrow deciding whether to lynch him too. I'd prefer to move on. That's a good point about "moving on" thread-wise that I hadn't thought of. I wasn't really seriously considering switching, just thinking about what would be possible if I had a sudden mind change.

I dont like the vote for the lurker as it seemed an easy cop out. Then his switch to xzavier doesnt help as i think xzavier isnt scum. He has picked up commenting about cases a lot more, but that's to be expected when accused. There was a huge shift in his play style before and after my vote on him. Perhaps he became more active to push the mislynch? I honestly dont know but looking at his filter it just feels scummy. And your new case didnt really add anything new, just commented on xzaviers posts. At this point xzavier is going to be lynched barring some big last minute vote switches. When accused, scum want to push suspicion off of themselves at all costs. That's not what I see as the purpose of his posting. He's honestly scumhunting and interacting with the thread in a very townie way.
The Xzavier-style return is worse because Xzavier's focus is clearly not on finding scum, it's on defending himself.

And if you put your vote on someone random, and then don't push their lynch at all, you are wasting your vote. I read it and it did not convince me. I will respect your time and go back to read it again though. Currently I have read some parts of the thread many times but other parts only once or twice. I put my vote on someone who I thought more scummy than Xzavier. I still think that, but you can see above what my reasons for now voting Xzavier are. What about Xzavier's actions makes you think that he is town? I read how you think that scum would be pushing for someone else right now, but I'd like to see what things he's done that make you read town.
I realize that you've already voted Xzav (although I disagree with your reasons for switching), but I'm interested in hearing more of your thoughts and more arguments for Xzav being town.

Now explain to me why this master scum plot is more likely than us both being town. It is a conspiracy theory, which we both know means that I have a lot riding on it as I stand to look like a fool if it all goes wrong. I started out by coming to the conclusion that you were either both town or both scum. Aqua's first post looked like a weak poke on a Chrom that he perceived to be town. It was like he had already decided that you were of the same alignment as he was, so I thought he either had a town read that he was trying to confirm, or he knew that you were scum. I already thought that the first part of Aqua's post was a bit scummy, so I hoped to see some interaction between you and him. Your first post in response contained this: On June 24 2013 20:43 Chromatically wrote:
If you wanted to know about someone, you could just asked me. I'm not just going to randomly post reads if I'm not going to push for their lynch, but I'll definitely tell you what I think of someone or who my scumreads are. Why wouldn't you ask me for my scumreads if you wanted them?
Probably because that's not actually what you want at all. Someone else asked me for scumreads, and I posted mine right below your post, but you haven't reacted to that at all. Does this point still stand even after I've posted my scumreads? Or did your opinion not change at all for some reason?
In the above quote you referred to your previous post here: On June 24 2013 13:29 Chromatically wrote:On June 24 2013 13:12 Hurricane Sponge wrote: Chromatically, do you have any scumreads? Right now, I'm looking at Xzavier and hzflank. Both have posted a bit, but neither have been scumhunting. hz's recent post makes me feel a little better, but it did only come when I specifically asked him and I don't really agree with it. That doesn't necessarily make him scum though. There are also some other small things that bother me, but I'll elaborate on those later. Now, at this point what do you think Aqua's reply should be? Your scum read post did not really contain anything substantial and in fact I would say that I was in fact scum hunting (I had poked several people). I thought to myself: If Aqua takes his vote off of Chrom before asking Chrom for more info on his reads, then it is because Aqua does not need to know Chrom's reads.Aqua even says this himself in his next post: On June 24 2013 21:08 Aquanim wrote:
Those reads were pretty weak, I'd like to see more from you.
And then in that same post he says: On June 24 2013 21:08 Aquanim wrote:
tl;dr I had uneasy feelings about you but I feel a lot better after reading this post
So Aqua does not get what he wants from you, but for some reason feels better about you, which is why I do not think that you are both town. If you were both town then that exchange should not of ended so easily. On June 25 2013 04:27 Chromatically wrote:Your explanation's fair. It still doesn't excuse the large amount of fluff and general bad feel I get from your early posting (not that's really explainable).

You'd better explain yourself too. I agreed with it in the sense that it was a plausible theory, not that it was particularly likely. For the record I have you both pegged as town and I think you are both wasting precious time accusing one another. His conspiracy idea arose mainly because you accused him of being scum. I see his post as a long-winded retaliation against your credibility to ensure that no one bandwagons him to oblivion. While I may obviously be incorrect, it was not retaliation. Before Chrom voted for me I had already decided that if Aqua moves his vote off of Chrom and then Chrom makes a case against me then they are working together. When did you decide this? Right when you saw Aqua's case on me? Right when Aqua said he felt better about you (above). I read that at the same time as I read your previous post. The exchange just did not go as I would expect it to between two town members. The logic is convoluted and wrong, but I have a hard time believing that scum hz made it all up. A scum hz would have to: 1) come up with this theory (even though they're not scumhunting) 2) explain his reasoning in a clear way that "makes sense" from a town perspective I can't see a way that scum hz develops this reasoning, so clearly from a town perspective, while actually being scum. His next post: Show nested quote +On June 25 2013 05:37 hzflank wrote:
Aqua asked Tofu twice for his opinions on you. This means that if I assume that you and Aqua are scum, then Tofu must be town. There is no way that one scum would insist on an opinion of another scum from the third scum. Also, I would think that Aqua and Toku are not scumbuddies, since Tofu's opinion on you seemed important to Aqua.
My take on the reason for that was to establish that Tofu thinks you (Chrom) town. Since Tofu is one of the more active posters so far, if he thinks you town he would be easier to get on my wagon and may even make some good posts to convince others.
So as you suggested, my strong town read on Tofu is dependent on my scum read on you and Aqua. This is some of the most convoluted association logic I've ever heard (coming from me). Once again, I can't see scum coming up with this reasoning just in order to justify their read change. A scum hz could have just said that "it was the only way my theory worked" or something and been fine, but this logic is done from a town perspective, I think. ##UnvoteHowever, I encourage you to look through XXXIII if you have the time (my profile). I tunneled two townies all game long and lead a voteswitch off of the GF because I was convinced that they were scum together. Not so much based on their individual actions, but more on the preflip associations I thought that I saw. The lesson I learned was that preflip association cases are really, really, bad. Your case is 100% preflip associations, but they never work out. I would be very interested in hearing a case on Aqua based on his actions alone, if you really think that he's scum. If Aqua flips red, then that's a good time to go look for his associations to others. In short, no.

If Xsavier flips red then a day 2 case against me is beneficial anyway, since there are only 3 other likely scum targets and I can just aim at one of them for my defense. Even if I get lynched day 2, as long as the power roles are being used on the 4 main scum targets then you are likely to get a scum lynch on day 3.
In short: a super late day 1 wagon on me would be a terrible idea for the town. (Not that it was suggested). ..what?
Why are you thinking about what makes you look scummy? Why aren't you lynching based on who you actually think is scum?

Why aren't you lynching based on who you actually think is scum? Because it is not a one day game. I am lynching based on which lynch I think is most beneficial to the town, as I said when I voted. In fact, at this point I think it would be bad for the town for me to try to get people to vote for the people who I think have the most chance of flipping red. The town wincondition is based on lynching scum. (Note that it's not at all based on whether you die or not.)
Voting and pushing a scum lynch is the only way to achieve that.
You are arguing that it's more beneficial to vote for people who you think are town. This doesn't make sense.
|
So you're gambling, hoping that Xzav will flip scum even though you think it's unlikely because it'll make the rest of the game easier.
As opposed to just lynching who you think will flip scum, and then worrying about the other scum later. If we lynch scum day 1, town has a massive, massive advantage.

Additionally, I did not want to put a lot of effort into creating the late counter-wagon because I was hoping that some other people would get moving with it. I tried to stimulate that conversation a few hours ago but no one moved on it.
The reason that I should not of been the one to start the other wagon is that even if I did and Xzav flips red, or the other wagon flips green, that gives me no information as to who the scumbuddies are and no be honest I don't think it would of given the town enough info either. If someone else had been more proactive in starting the counter wagon then it would of given better scum reading material. Don't you have a townread on Xzav? You were defending him not too long ago.

Stim, what's your read on me?
|
I am very surprised that both of them flipped as town. I have a lot of strong town reads, but I clearly need to rethink some of them as a) there was probably scum on the Xzav lynch and b) there's not enough people left that are in my null-scum area.
hz looks pretty town despite his wierd logic because there's really no reason for scum to draw suspicion to themselves by switching that late as the lynch was already secure.
Same thing for Alaka, less confident on that.

@Chromatically: Dude, calm down. Why are you going around asking everyone what their read is on you? I'm not just going to give you my gut feel or a couple of short paragraphs pretending I know who you are. I would rather post something that is of some substance with proper analysis. To put it simply, I refuse your request. You have no idea at all of whether I'm town? There's no reason not to say that, it just gives town more information.
