Regardless, Isnt it quick to vilify him so quickly? This is an extremely odd defence of JieXian. Why are you making it? ##Vote: austinmcc | ||

Of course not mentioning the unfounded vote on austin...which to be honest is more of a null tell than scum tell since I can't really see much benefit to do so as scum, other than the usual "create chaos/wifom" strategy. That's because I find what Oats said to be the scummiest thing in the thread at the time, and I still feel that way. Given this is a mayoral election day, there is no risk whatsoever of a fast bandwagon on to JieXian, so his defence of him was completely unwarranted. Why did Oats not want any pressure on JieXian? Oats wasn't even defending his play, rather the fact there was pressure on him. It's scummy. I voted for austin (and missed the voting thread) because I liked the wording he picked up in Toad's post, it looked like a townie mindset to me. sandroba not running for mayor is concerning in of itself, and his reason (decided before the game) is a weak one. I was kind of ok letting it slide, except he's now compounded it by not giving any input to the thread as well. As a prime player, if he's town, he should be using his expertise to help town come to good decisions, and he's distinctly not doing so. | ||

Him promising to play normally in future days is not alignment indicative, and it's a terrible reason to elect a mayor. | ||

I was expecting a lot more from him considering the reputation and kneepad job debears gave. But i dont like at all voting austin off that 1post. To me either u fling your vote with wild abandon .or. Know something special i dont.. Cause for concern either way. Having said that. I liked austinmcc answers to my questions BUT this came after you voted. fivetouch The other strong candidate .at least in toads eyes. Is gonzaw. Assuming both are town. Whose reasonings so far are u going to stick with for a vote and why.. This just means I saw something before you were able to see it. The rest of your questions are pointless. Do you think scum would have read Toad's post closely enough to pick out something on the exact way it was phrased, and then comment/explain it? | ||

Although I don't like giving away the kind of information you're giving away right now because it opens up all possibilities of being manipulated, but that's fine with me right now. You seem like you know what you're doing. Can I convince you to run for mayor? :p What kind of information are you referring to? Being mayor would be terrific, but I'm not going to run a platform to try to get people to vote for me. | ||

If you keep on telling mafia that kind of stuff they know how to pull strings on you which is the reason I'd rather have people keep that to themselves and why I never mentioned it / why I keep telling people to not talk about townreads. I find it hard to stay unaffected when everyone knows what I'm building my (town-)reads on. I'm comfortable with the idea that mafia might try to manipulate me. Therein lies mistakes. DearestSnot: I'm not sure. prplhz is even more inactive than he normally is as mafia, he usually at least pretends to play the game a little. And at least the posts he has made have a certain light-hearted tone to them. I'd really much rather lynch Oatsmaster at the moment. For the reason I already mentioned, and in addition he asked me a terrible question on why me not running for mayor is not the same as sandroba not running for mayor. This means he read my post where I quite clearly stated it was sandroba's continuing lack of input that was the real problem, so he's twisting my words for no discernable reason. | ||

I'll lynch Oats or prplhz. I'm going to ignore any mayoral candidates who have no intention of lynching into those two. FT would you be down with that? If so, we should run for mayor together, and then we can take mayor/sheriff. I'm curious if you see anything in prplhz besides his inactivity. For example, annul is in an almost identical position. | ||

On January 21 2013 09:30 austinmcc wrote: I guess the above isn't a full thought. If you don't consider Chezinu a candidate for mayor, I think you're being silly. He's a risky pick because he could be scum and he doesn't seem particularly readable before the election ends, plus he might just be chezinu as mayor, but in a vacuum he's a solid mayor candidate and you shouldn't write him off. This post makes no sense. The fact that it's extremely hard to get a confident town-read on Chezinu so early is precisely why it's ok to write him off as a candidate. | ||

On January 21 2013 09:31 DearestSnot wrote: GM, fivetouch or whomever you are: read this. Now, what did prplhz say in his first post? I will lynch Chezinu, non negotiable. That was the fourth post following the daypost, and Chezinu hadn't even posted yet. Secondly, compared to his most recent games, the ones I'm looking at are Pick your Poison and GSL Open, Dwarf Mini, etc. my initial impression is that he seems to be following more his mafia style than his town style. As town he quickly starts looking to kill scum. He asks questions as both alignments, but he doesn't solely ask questions as town. He also does some of his own work, and his questions are at the very least aligned toward accomplishing something. I don't see that here. In addition to that, he delurked right when I called him out, and has done nothing to actually indicate that he is interested in killing scum, or even electing a mayor who would kill scum. I looked over XLVII (the massive shitfest game where he was scum) but he seemed to post a lot more fluff there and as far as I can remember he played scum quite differently there than he did in other games. Ok, I can roll with this read. I looked up two of his recent town-games, and in one he lurked and got lynched Day 1 (Mad Men Mafia). In both games (Rock Band, Mad Men) he opened up by asking people to consolidate and not spam, whereas in his mafia games he opens in a more trolly style - in Dwarf he came in laughing that he hadn't read the thread, in Normal mini mafia 2 he spammed votes down. Similar with GSL Open. | ||

It's so lazy to just say "Chez hard to read and silly" and completely ignore the "Chez often has very, very good reads" aspect. He's got enough upside if he's town and in the mayor position that it's worth considering him and trying to read him. Chezinu rarely, if ever, starts coming up with his good reads during the first cycle. And we are electing a mayor in the first cycle. So yes, I am writing him off. Unless you have some hitherto unheard of method of reading Chezinu on day 1 that you would like to share with us? | ||

It concerns me greatly that people don't want to lynch prplhz. This is a typical scum post. prplhz hasn't played the game all cycle, and when he does make his one post here, he only does so to attack bugs, and tell us that he doesn't care about the game. He also does not even attempt to refute the point brought up that he abhors policy lynches as town, and yet effectively proposed one here. As such, austin no longer gets my vote. ##Unvote | ||

I agree the content is poor, but his latest games prpl has been kind of angry mode. Has prplhz rolled town since Rock Band? In any case, I grab a post from there, where he was under suspicion early: On September 18 2012 08:54 prplhz wrote: Yea I had just queue a game of DotA2 when you posted it and then I decided that I would rather see how it other people reacted before shooting it down. I don't really get the first argument. You are saying that my first posts are similar in my scum games, this doesn't make me scum. Then you argue that the first posts themselves have a distinct scummy agenda which is very disputable but more importantly, do you really think that any scum feel the need to push any agenda in their first post? I think that my first post is townie, I think that for all of those scum games you posted. At least the content is townie. Not everything scum posts is scummy. As for the "He's not quick to vote", no that's right, I didn't vote yet during the first 30 minutes of the game. I think it's a very thin argument that I should be scum because of that. I think I like to play both styles styles of "aggressive" and "careful and prodding" as town, I guess it all depends on what mood I am in. Anyway, I think your case on me looks townie and with everything else you've posted I'm pretty confident that you're town. austinmcc, I thought this guy looked really scummy up until this post. It's especially his explanation of that single word "OBVIOUS" that seems very townie to me. It looks like he really thought carefully about my alignment and didn't consider covering his own ass or anything like that. I like that. Townie for now. Mementoss is a little harder. I think he just voted me because I posted a dumb picture and corrected his grammar. That can be really antagonizing I hate when people do that to me when I make a dumb little mistake. Overall I've got a townie feeling about him. marvellosity is pretty shabby for now. Show me some of that "thinky" that you promised before the game. We also need everybody else to join the game and post some more. Here he rationally talks about the case made on him, with little anger. He goes on to share thoughts on several players of the game, while also encouraging people to post more. This attitude doesn't mesh with the prplhz that I've seen so far this game. | ||

This attitude pervades his town games, actually. People can check this for themselves. He regularly asks people to post more when he is town as well. | ||

He didn't like policy lynch in one game, that doesn't make him hating policy lynches forever. Like we say in France, "only stupid people never change their minds". Also I don't see scum blatantly enter the thread like this, because blending in and flying under the radar is a better strategy in big games I guess. I didn't like Austin posts at first but he has been extensively open about his thoughts when I asked him a few questions. Also he started to post some content. And I don't disagree with what he posts since. I could support an Oats lynch by the way, but I'm not sold on a prplhz lynch. This is a disappointing post, as far as I'm aware usually you are quite diligent in games. Here are scum prplhz's various first posts in threads: On July 06 2012 20:03 prplhz wrote: ##Vote: slOosh On July 06 2012 21:05 prplhz wrote: lol marv is scum ##Vote marvellosity or maybe: On August 08 2012 05:38 prplhz wrote: Hey didn't read thread yet can anybody tell me who is scum? or how about: On September 06 2012 05:48 prplhz wrote: hello everybody should write something then i'll read it tomorrow evening and tell you who is scum also can anybody explain to me who ange777 is? thanks Quite 'blatant', wouldn't you say, Djodref? | ||
