Alright, so here's an idea that I just thought of.
I was rereading my case on Foreman and noticed my comment about "I think ExO/ TT is TvT and Foreman is just sitting on the sidelines"
Well I am back to thinking that it was a TvT, so it looks like I was spot-on with my comment about Foreman ignoring that shit-show.
Want to know what he WAS doing?
Arguing with Skynx.
I don't know if that's relevant or not in terms of either of them being scum or whatever so I decided to quote those Skynx/ Foreman posts for reference.

I was just an emo at this point to most people including you. Just before i posted some actual reads. I was the definition of low hanging fruit. Thats not a defence, thats an accusation for you going for someone whos just raging about the game rather than post your thoughts on actual playing people some of which you were definitely scumreading at this point. Bullshit. You were active lurking. You got called out on active lurking. You decided you better do something to avoid scrutiny.

No. I'm saying he was obviously lying when he called himself low-hanging fruit, and that he made that remark instead of simply explaining why he was busy or what have you makes him scum.

However Foreman's behaviour around Skynx/ Rels is really weird.
He doesn't mention Rels at ALL.
Seriously.
He has five fucking pages of filter and it's like Rels doesn't exist to him.

This is actually pretty important because he called out darthfoley for having Foreman as 'most town' but he doesn't even acknowledge Rels strongly town-reading him because of tone.
It's not a massive contradiction or anything but you'd think that he would have said something.

##vote Foreman Just to make sure we're on the same page: I'm not really in agreement that Foreman is scum as I am not 100% convinced yet. He's like my Damdred read from last game: I found him scummy when he was there, and because he ditched us, he looks scummier and stays in the PoE pool. I would not call him obvious scum like Jat basically.
I'm not 100% convinced either. I am just voting the one dude that all three of us suspect given that we are split on Skynx/ Rels/ DF.
Seems like optimal strategy to me.

Is it weird that gell's death makes me less sure Skynx is scum?
Like in the case that Skynx is town then mafia killing someone pushing Skynx makes it look like he got killed for being on the right track. I've also been wondering if scum!Skynx would actually stick his neck out so far with the whole TRing Exo thing.
Idk, I'm deep in WIFOM territory on this one. Take it as you will. I actually feel more convinced that Skynx is scum given the increasing body of evidence against him. It's hard to tell given that the three main suspects have yet to defend themselves. I liked DF's recent posts enough to take him out of my shit-list. While I'm here, can you expand more on your Rels read? If you have other priorities then don't bother but I feel like I am too focused on Rels > Skynx and you said that you town-read him so I'd love to hear what you think. I actually don't like Darth's posts at all. It falls right in line with how I think scum would play if gell was killed to implicate Skynx. Idk tbh I'm starting to feel like this game is pretty solved from my POV, I just need to make sure I can backup my TR of Rels a little better, but my PoE is down to Skynx/Darth/Foreman. If skynx is scum his play has been just shit all game. I'd like you to expand on what parts of my posts you don't like. My thoughts on the mahrgell kill are that he was spewing town and had been universally townread (his last posts got me off of him). I made the point earlier that I thought mafia would try to buddy the first timer, and I think mahrgell picked up on that. I'm also town because I clicked through your 40 spoilers Lol Ok you prob deserve some cred for that. Actually looking over your posts again you do make pretty decent points. Let me ride this train of thought a bit longer though, I'm having fun with it. bruh
You're certainly not achieving anything new.
We cannot make proper progress until the three main suspects pop online. I'm getting bored of waiting.
TT looking at Rels is the only other thing I am waiting for atm.

I'm basically voting him over Skynx because that was the one read that NU/ TT and myself could agree on. TT still seems to have some doubts with regards to Skynx due to NK WIFOM/ doubts over wherever scum!Skynx would be so blatant/ not trusting you, etc.
Don't you think that Skynx/ Foreman is the scum team though? I think it's Foreman and Skynx/ Rels although given the sheer volume of posts against Skynx, looks like a shoe-in.

Yea, I believe Skynx/Foreman is the most likely duo and I believe any potential blue check type role would be advised to check one of them who isn't lynched. Skynx/Rels we've discussed would make less sense, I believe? Rels/Foreman? Maybe. Also, can you and/or NU briefly explain or point me to a post regarding why you're so confident in TT being town? I understand you have this three person town circle going on, but why TT?
The reason I asked was because if you think it's Skynx/ Foreman then it doesn't particularly matter which one dies first. And you yourself agree that Skynx/ Rels doesn't make sense so voting for the person who is mafia in the most worlds is a good move.
Because TT's play has been congruent and every time I try reading his filter as if he's mafia I end up having to make the facts fit my conclusion and every single case against him (including my own) has been a stretch.
(also I looked up his scum games. Completely different persona and his play is less shitty in this game so unless he has drastically upped his game then he is likely town)

Agreed. This activity is more of a mood-killer than depression.
Hopefully Rels/ Skynx will ACTUALLY POST NOW and this game will become a game again.
At least we have the town circle thing. That's pretty much the only thing that's been useful about Day 2 so far.

He might be scum if 2/3 of Foreman/ Skynx/ Rels are just Tier 1 shitters. However I don't know what his game plan is if he is mafia but he's not exceptionally townie either so I take everything he says with a pinch of salt.
Something like that.

So I read the entire thing and I'm not sure what to make of it. I'll reread in the morning in case I'm just missing anything because I'm tired but my initial impressions are this:
1. I didn't understand most of it very well. 2. I thought a bunch of the defense went off-topic and didn't add anything whatsoever. 3. I didn't feel any townie motivation shine through in the posts and it was boring. By boring, I mean that I have to keep scrolling up to remember what Skynx said even though I just read and reread it twice before making this fucking response. 4. A lot of it felt debate-orientated to me. (ties in with point 2)
+ Show Spoiler +Also this is a moonlogic-tier point but I find it scummy when people switch from using "mahrgell" in the third person to "you" when addressing mahrgell in the way that Skynx did. I could tell people why but nobody would have a clue what I was on about. So I'll just leave this here.

What exactly are you doing next, Skynx? Run me through what you're going to post next and why plz. Or just get on with whatever you're going to post next. Either works.

If so, we might want to switch wagon. But we're in LyLo if Foreman is town.
Stop trying to use the host as a function of the game, for fuck's sake.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skynx's #1260 reminds me of Koshi's posting in LYLO. Just made giant wall-posts against BM with one-liner responses to most of the posts in his filter (although most of them don't actually show scum motivation???) and even the conclusion to the post sucks.
Also he's ignoring the fact that people have already given town tells for NU.
But what does it for me is that Skynx walks in, doesn't try reconsidering his read on NU at all, is claiming that NU has not made a single townie post in his filter (this is inaccurate) and is trying to throw doubt in the town circle. That's pushing a mafia agenda. I would be willing to switch to him now given that I'm not seeing town motivation in anything he's said. In fact, I'm going to do just that:

Also I didn't like some of Rels' posts. But I'm starting to think that he's just shit instead of scummy.

But I have reasons to townread everyone else to varying degrees (or in DF case, I don't think he can be Skynx partner) and my tone read of Foreman at the beginning of the game doesn't hold up to the amount of nothing he's doing right now. The only thing that is maybe scummy is that he had only weak interactions with Skynx at some points, but there is a lot of Skynx talk in his filter: he voted him, and he had several posts that either talked about him, or talked about people read of Skynx. Can't remember who posted that first but I read something about it when catching up and it's true. Might be a partner tell but it's quite weak.
Did you not read my damning post on Foreman's AWFUL read progression with regards to ExO??? And he switched to ExO after 'pushing' on Skynx so if Skynx is scum then that looks even worse. I can see him trying to distance from Skynx before switching votes before Skynx could actually be at risk of getting lynched.

He thinks you're scum, ergo you're lying about being VT. All he does is rule out the possibility of you being TPR. I don't see inconsistency here. Or I'm lying about being VT to get scum to not mess with me on day 1. However look at the way he posts. He knows I'm only VT. You need to learn to read between the lines. Mafia are never going to come into the thread and announce they are mafia How would scum!TT know that you, the town!ExO, is telling the truth and that you're not a TPR exactly? I don't follow the "he knows I'm only VT" part. He wouldn't. However, he would had no problem killing me if he's scum (especially if he's scum and suspect I'm a power role). Does this make sense to you or do I need to break it down entirely? ELI5 I'm running into a problem that is rare for me - I have way too many town-reads. Needless to say, I'm having a hard time here. Scum TT knows who his scum buddy is, and who is town. He sees I claim VT. He knows that by killing me he'll either kill a VT (in which case he can claim "he was being worthless for town and it was good to get him out now, blah blah blah), or he'll kill a town power role and again blame it on my play. He claims that I'm either scum or VT. This is a call that nobody who is town will make. Because if a town player believes my VT claim then I cannot be scum. However if a town player doubts my VT claim then I might be power role and they might not wanna lynch me. The only people who would want to lynch me right now for the logic TT is presenting, are scum.

The way she pushed TT during the night is weird to me, I had the feeling while I was catching up that she was preparing her TT push even during EOD, and that it was too clean to be town; starting with quoting the soon-to-be-lynched- ExO during EOD, then quoting his posts during the night, then beginning the push. I actually thought I had caught her with these two posts during my catching up. But then TT responded and she began to townread him. And that was townie; why would she prepare such a good execution for her push during the night, then letting it all go after a few TT posts ? So I don't really believe she's scum anymore.
USING THE POSTS OF A LYNCHED PLAYER TO INFORM YOUR READS IS PRO-TOWN, LOL. How on Earth does anyone think that's scummy?
That's literally what people should be doing after a mislynch since a) you know that they were being honest with their arguments and thus you can assess them without being paranoid, b) you can see (to an extent) how people treated the MLed player and see if anyone's behaviour (hint, Foreman, hint) doesn't make much sense and c) helps you to re-evaluate which is something that I've been trying to work on for the entire fucking game.
I stopped pushing TT given that a) he was correct that my point against him was strained and b) that was around the time I checked up on his scum meta and realised it didn't match up with his play this game, therefore I concluded that he just sucks.
Secondly, that whole "trying to set things up without looking like she's doing that" point is something I said about you first. Why do you continue to ignore my points against you? I'd expect a bit of paranoia about "Calix is trying to get a ML on me" given that I pushed you AFTER TT. Instead you completely ignore the fact that I cased you at all. You didn't acknowledge my vote on you on D1, preferring to say "lol do you have a reason to scum-read me outside of activity?" (when nobody had mentioned your activity???) and there is zero concern over the fact that I made an actual fucking case on you N1...or the fact that I keep voting for you.
Why didn't you respond to that first thing? Why wasn't that a factor that made you 'concerned' about me?
(thirdly, I've been extremely townie the entire game and the only reason that people are still paranoid is because of my last scum game even though I'm acting completely differently, wtf)

As for ExO, I missed #600. I'm not sure I agree. He says "I think ExO is scum but if he isn't then he's only a VT and is useless so he can die"
He thinks you're scum, ergo you're lying about being VT. All he does is rule out the possibility of you being TPR. I don't see inconsistency here. Or I'm lying about being VT to get scum to not mess with me on day 1. However look at the way he posts. He knows I'm only VT. You need to learn to read between the lines. Mafia are never going to come into the thread and announce they are mafia How would scum!TT know that you, the town!ExO, is telling the truth and that you're not a TPR exactly? I don't follow the "he knows I'm only VT" part. He wouldn't. However, he would had no problem killing me if he's scum (especially if he's scum and suspect I'm a power role). Does this make sense to you or do I need to break it down entirely? ELI5 I'm running into a problem that is rare for me - I have way too many town-reads. Needless to say, I'm having a hard time here. Scum TT knows who his scum buddy is, and who is town. He sees I claim VT. He knows that by killing me he'll either kill a VT (in which case he can claim "he was being worthless for town and it was good to get him out now, blah blah blah), or he'll kill a town power role and again blame it on my play. He claims that I'm either scum or VT. This is a call that nobody who is town will make. Because if a town player believes my VT claim then I cannot be scum. However if a town player doubts my VT claim then I might be power role and they might not wanna lynch me. The only people who would want to lynch me right now for the logic TT is presenting, are scum.

Looked at this. 1) This is something I also noticed. Actually with him defending me against DF. At this time, I think I had established that I'm willing to stand up myself. Throw shade at me, and I will try to bring light into it. DF was the only one going for me, everyone was at Exo already. Why even defend me with a huge post? I won't get lynched by DF alone. I can defend myself. This alone would probably not be weird, but it follows your argument. I just had this feeling, but your examples were not as clear to me before you brought them up giving my intuition more concrete food. In general, rereading his filter he had his case on DF... Except for that, all he did was expanding on other peoples stuff. He defended me, after I needed defense. Same with you or Foreman. He suddenly created large Exo accusations after Exo was already voted by 6 people. Etc. Basically all he ever did was to fight on battle fields where the battle was already over. "Look here, I'm fighting" 1c) I can't make sense of this now. I made clear that Skynx is my scumread right now. If we follow the idea of accusing Rels too... They could make up all kind of shit. If Skynx flips town (or I 180 on my read on him), I would probably come back to this. 2) I can follow your thought process here. I'm seeing how this makes you scumread him. But when I'm doing that thought train myself, I end with a "meh, whatever". He later detailed in great detail why he was suddenly considering Exo to be scum. If we buy that, this swap is legitimate. If we don't buy it, it is imho a repeat of what I described under 1), so not a new point. I'm honestly not that experienced in the meta of "If your target of choice won't happen, what will you do? Confirm an acceptable lynch or stay strong with your target." Trying to read something from it is difficult for me. Conclusion:I see your points, I think you are onto something here. But for me right now Skynx is my priority. I can't exactly bend my head around how that Rels suspicion and my Skynx scumread fit together. Do they fit together? Must one be wrong? (Or both wrong and I just suck at this game...)
Also I was nice and linked to the post where NU made his point: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/515718-newbie-student-mafia-xxiv?page=59#1163

His vote switch is even weirder because Rels said that ExO was 'very likely town' because of his VT claim earlier and spent a fair bit of time explaining that. And he kept that reasoning in mind but I don't get why he felt the need to switch to ExO when he had that VT claim town-read and felt that DF was scummier. Yep this post is shitty but I don't think it's particulary scummy. If you want t aresponse: A) There is no point here. I'm attentive to any towntells you might have 'cause you're a very good scum players. B) Dunno what to say about that. I thought foreman was town because of his tone. It was not a strong read. C) An example of a shitty narrative. I said what I thought, you are making it fit into a scum motivation. 2) OK this might be scummy. This is false : "he leading train. Rels was one of the last voters. All that vote did was secure ExO's lynch and was completely pointless. His vote switch is even weirder because Rels said that ExO was 'very likely town' because of his VT claim earlier and spent a fair bit of time explaining that." My reasonning for gradually scumreading ExO is super clear so there is nothing weird about it. You're stretching your point here to again making it fit to a scum motivation, but this time you're not telling the truth. You don't understand why I switched to ExO ?
Okay but that doesn't explain why you didn't acknowledge it to begin with...?
A) My point is that you over-emphasised your town read on me for no reason and it looks like pocketing. How is that not a point? And do you think I just made up those 'town tells' now or something?
B) You said "I think his tone is super townie" - this isn't a strong read HOW? I notice that you are now shying away from the strong language that you used at the start of the game between voting for ExO, calling me 'almost lock town' and now backing away from that and claiming that your Foreman read 'wasn't a strong one'. I'm calling bullshit here. Your strongest stances at present are "NU/ TT are obvious town" and "Skynx is scummy" which are obvious and unoriginal stances.
C) No, I demand an explanation. What the fuck were you trying to achieve with those posts about Skynx at EOD?
2. Where is the falsehood? You were one of the last voters. Your vote wasn't required to lynch ExO and you haven't said why you felt that you had to vote for him. You had previously stated a town-read on ExO. There was no need to make a case like that and vote for him, that is my point.

I don't see anything that really gives me town vibes from Rels, he's in my POE reads and I don't really like him. Kind of want to sleep soon so have some bulletpoints:
1. He feels like he has an agenda with his posts. I get this impression from how strongly he emphasises certain points compared to others. It's like he's trying to achieve X but is also trying to hide that he's trying to achieve X. Examples that pinged me include the following
A) his town-read on me. He really wanted me to know about that. Nobody really needed like, four reasons for why I am town when nobody scum-read me at all at that point and it's not like I need to be defended. Terrible priorities at best, scum pocketing me at worst.
B) his town-read on Foreman. He defends Foreman because of his tone which I'm noting because I don't think he's ever used tone to read anyone else and he seems really invested in that read. This is a very weak point by itself but I'm wondering if it's an example of Rels showing inherent bias when reading players.
c) his discredits of Skynx. I'm referring to EOD where he was saying "well Skynx defending ExO isn't a town tell because Skynx would be aware of how that would look to everyone so it's null" which pinged me because he scum-read ExO so why the fuck would he care about how ExO read Skynx if he thinks ExO is mafia? And who thinks that saying "well this thing that you think is townie is actually null" is a good idea BEFORE someone has flipped anyway? I think Rels knew that ExO would flip town and didn't want Skynx getting town cred for defending the ML.
2. His progression with ExO/ darthfoley. While Rels is attacking darthfoley consistently, he didn't have a problem with switching to ExO by making a case. What's the problem there? ExO was already the leading train. Rels was one of the last voters. All that vote did was secure ExO's lynch and was completely pointless. His vote switch is even weirder because Rels said that ExO was 'very likely town' because of his VT claim earlier and spent a fair bit of time explaining that. And he kept that reasoning in mind but I don't get why he felt the need to switch to ExO when he had that VT claim town-read and felt that DF was scummier. Looked at this. 1) This is something I also noticed. Actually with him defending me against DF. At this time, I think I had established that I'm willing to stand up myself. Throw shade at me, and I will try to bring light into it. DF was the only one going for me, everyone was at Exo already. Why even defend me with a huge post? I won't get lynched by DF alone. I can defend myself. This alone would probably not be weird, but it follows your argument. I just had this feeling, but your examples were not as clear to me before you brought them up giving my intuition more concrete food. In general, rereading his filter he had his case on DF... Except for that, all he did was expanding on other peoples stuff. He defended me, after I needed defense. Same with you or Foreman. He suddenly created large Exo accusations after Exo was already voted by 6 people. Etc. Basically all he ever did was to fight on battle fields where the battle was already over. "Look here, I'm fighting" 1c) I can't make sense of this now. I made clear that Skynx is my scumread right now. If we follow the idea of accusing Rels too... They could make up all kind of shit. If Skynx flips town (or I 180 on my read on him), I would probably come back to this. 2) I can follow your thought process here. I'm seeing how this makes you scumread him. But when I'm doing that thought train myself, I end with a "meh, whatever". He later detailed in great detail why he was suddenly considering Exo to be scum. If we buy that, this swap is legitimate. If we don't buy it, it is imho a repeat of what I described under 1), so not a new point. I'm honestly not that experienced in the meta of "If your target of choice won't happen, what will you do? Confirm an acceptable lynch or stay strong with your target." Trying to read something from it is difficult for me. Conclusion:I see your points, I think you are onto something here. But for me right now Skynx is my priority. I can't exactly bend my head around how that Rels suspicion and my Skynx scumread fit together. Do they fit together? Must one be wrong? (Or both wrong and I just suck at this game...) Also I was nice and linked to the post where NU made his point: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/515718-newbie-student-mafia-xxiv?page=59#1163 1) That doesn't make me scum. I had, and still have actually, this idea that I can't understand how DF couldn't townread marg based on his newbieness; and actually, how he could compare mahrgell play to his scumplay in his first scumgame when it's super different. 1c) Same point as above. 2) He said he didn't think my ExO read was weird.
1. "doesn't make me scum" - Doesn't make you town either, hun.
You are oversimplifying mahrgell's point which is that you do things that don't actually have to be done. Voting for ExO after he was getting lynched, defending mahrgell when nearly everyone town-read him at that point - neither of those things were actually necessary or really help town.
1c) See my previous post for my attitude on this.
2. He also said that he didn't know the proper procedure for EOD voting. See Point 1. I'll concede that this is not a strictly scum-indicative point, however.

He did not bring new points to the table, just said that he was confident in the lynch. Rels, however, was bringing new arguments he did not share before EOD. It looked like he was making an impromptu case on ExO and that he was scavenging for reasons to still scum-read him to ignore the town tone ExO conveyed.

What I will say is this:
I came into the thread just saying whatever I felt like. It's how I always play town. I don't try to carefully construct my posts I just say whats on my mind. I did a lot of OMGUS. When I finally sat and calmly looked at the game, I put a little suspicion on DF/Skynx because of short filter, and rels for a similar reason. But I've been attacked for switching views, for not tunneling, for tunneling at the start, and a whole variety of other things.
I don't know exactly how I could defend myself at this point. I've done my best to make you realize that I'm town. But a LOT of people are tunneling on me. I'm not sure what else I'd have to do to prove I'm town.
The idea that I had a scum slip is a complete joke. If I die today:
Lynch TT/Rels. Both are experienced townies yet are moronically pushing this lynch. Especially TT. After that I would look for people who coasted and just hopped on the wagon day 1.
Do not Lynch Calix: Calix is the most most obviously confirmed town here. I want to say NU as well because of filter length, but I'm not sure.
Anywho I'm running some errands now like I said. I should be back before EoD but my motivation to play this game is basically out the window. This is so bad. This martiring won't get you through this lynch. You're saying you can't defend yourself 'cause you're attacked whatever thing you chose to do; well, you could defend yourself by pointing out WHY other people are scummy. In this very post you admit that your OMGUS was bad; that after re evaluating you think one of DF / Skynx / Rels are probably scum; THEN you go on "lynch TT and Rels 'cause they should know better than pushing me" which is the FUCKING DEFINITION OF OMGUS. The last time you've stated reasons for your reads was your NU read yesterday. Since then it has been either OMGUS or filter size.

However, can someone please give me some solid arguments that makes him objective scum like TT and NU? Other than him being defensive all the time which is not even a reason anymore and makes sense as everyone is scumreading him. - has claimed that his aggression towards Calix at the beginning of the game was fake and just here to provoke reaction, which is something scum always say to explain themselves out of a bad push - has forgotten that he wanted to attack NU and foreman during his sleep and went to attack TT with no reasonning - has forgotten he liked Skynx and listed him as potential scum - has only posted to defend himself yesterday, when Calix intervened to give him some breathing room, he just disappeared instead of doing stuff - martyring, admitting the OMGUS was bad, then OMGUSING some more in the next paragraph (TT and Rels should know better!) Foreman was conveniently afk. I have nothing to respond this. Saying that i scavenged reasons to scumread ExO is again a shitty narrative. I didn't scavenge reasons to scumread ExO, I had reasons to scumread ExO. And I didn't find his tone super townie at EoD, a scum in the same situation could have done the very same things he did to try and survive by appeal to emotion.
Noted. I don't know how to respond to "I have nothing to say here" posts in any case.

If you think my ExO read was useless, qoute my posts about hima nd prove it.
A) "It's not scummy"
BUT HOW IS IT TOWNIE? What is your fucking problem? It's seriously not hard to just tell me why you felt that several posts emphasising my town alignment when nobody was doubting this was necessary. If you're town, you must have had some town-motivated reason for doing this, yes?
B) I don't get what you are saying here. So it WAS a strong read for you or are you saying that you exaggerated your reads because it was Day 1? My point still stands about your boring, unoriginal viewpoints as of late.
C) "I said what I thought" isn't an explanation. I don't understand why a townie would go around and say "Skynx's defense of ExO says nothing about ExO's alignment/ Skynx isn't confirmed town if ExO is town" and all that. Instead of explaining it to me, you're shutting me down by saying "well it's just my opinion man".
2) You are missing the point, perhaps intentionally since I don't think you're a complete moron. But sure, I will look at your ExO posts later.
