I was going to make something similar for Hapah today, but this took far too long. I'm pretty confident about the above, though.
Me too. Confident you're wrong.  :P
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

zombie urist, what makes you think Okami, Hapah and IG here are town?
I'm pretty sure I answered this when I game my reads.
Okami claimed to kill LS, which would make no sense at all if he was scum.
Hapah had a big argument over Zrk2's scumminess, so I don't think its him either.
IG I'm least sure about, but he just seems bad at the game.

...
Why are you defending him? Captain Ford
(I've fixed this quote to show what he actually meant.) This one sticks out because he's voting Captain Ford rather impulsively, with his rationale being that Ford is defending alamoes by stating that he reads as town.
I actually meant to vote alamoes to see how both alamoes and Ford would react.

Why this is interesting? Firstly, because he never had any suspicions on alamoes to begin with, and didn't question him in the game at all.
Now, buddying accusations only make sense in two situations: One, you're convinced that the defendee is scum, and thus the defense puts the defender in suspicion - in this case, the second suspect is weaker, but the vote is placed anyway to pressure or to question. Two, you're convinced the defendee is town, and you're already suspicious of the defender, and the defense looks like the defender is trying to garner support.
There isn't really a good case for the first explanation, because he hasn't said anything to alamoes before this post, and despite ranking him as second to Ford in scumminess, not only did he not explain that, he didn't pursue this supposed suspicion in the game at all. Why doesn't he actually give us reasons? Because they'd be bad and not doing so allows him to change things and warp this as he sees fit.
If it is the second case, what he gives us is an extremely weak argument. Firstly, he's not already suspicious of Captain Ford, so he doesn't know at all whether it is in earnest or a ploy for approval. Second, it's pretty clear he doesn't generally think this behaviour is a scumtell in itself, because he didn't react when anyone else expressed a town read on people. I, for example, just now rather emphatically stated that I thought IG is town. Notice that this is essentially the same situation: I'm stating my town read of IG and expressing that to people who vote him, as Ford did to Zrk2. Zombie urist, in turn, says two things: That he has no over suspicions of IG, and that he wouldn't be surprised if he was scum anyway. So why doesn't he say anything about my treatment of IG, and why doesn't any of these explanations fit?
Because he doesn't really suspect Ford at all, and it's just a bullshit reason to jump on someone and get his vote in.
First part is wrong.
I don't know who it would be, but it probably is not the soldier, because he started his vote on the noob, me.  I doubt the mafia would do something so isolated like that. 
What do you mean by isolated?
Also at that point I just replaced in. I felt that alamoes was pretty scummy, so buddying made sense to me. That's why DS saying LS is town is also suspicious.

Let's examine the case he later presents:
...
A scroll of mail allows one to become Lovers with another person. For town, this really only has utility value if you have a strong town read on someone and the other feels the same about you. The scroll would then allow you to cooperate (to a certain extent). For scum, everyone outside your team is confirmed to be either town or a third party, both of which you'll need to eliminate, so really they're all lumped together. In this case, the scroll has immense utility value, because it allows you to do two things: Gain the trust of the other party to see if you can get him into your voting block, and if you're good enough, you can also rolefish and alignment fish.
Ask yourself: why would you want to use the Scroll of Mail in early RVS as town, as ZU did? You wouldn't, because in RVS you really don't have any idea if the receiver is town or scum and you're just wasting a Scroll, and using it to have a private channel to determine the other's alignment is of limited value at best: A sufficiently wary townie would avoid accepting a chat from a stranger precisely because the townie can get influenced, and as the chat likely won't be posted in much, it's a lot more productive to question a subject in-thread as it ups your chances of getting a reply and lets other townies see it.
ZU's use of the scroll doesn't align with town motives or strategies. The explanation that remains, then, is that he as scum tried to curry Ford's favour or try to get a grip on his role without alerting other wary townies - then, when he failed, he used that point as an argument to attack him without really expounding on why it makes Ford scum.
His own rationale is that he sent a gibberish message and didn't expect a reply in return. Then, when he used that as a point, Ford would reply if he was town. Note that no part of this converstion between ZU and Ford is shown, so really the entire thing would just have devolved into a my-word-against-your-word argument anyway, and ZU would be able to keep his senseless point regardless of what Ford did.
So what's the logic behind that explanation - that a townie would be sufficiently concerned about his appearance to pull a point out of the air when threatened? I don't think so.
A scroll of mail does not make you become lovers. You get to send a short message, then the recipient gets to send one back if he chooses. I used it because I was close to being lynched and figured I might as well make something of it.

Point 3 refers to this:
Spoiler: Quote from Ford (click to show/hide)
This is claimed to be a BS point. Frankly, I dont think so at all. Besides avoiding a rather standard question being rather suspicious in and of itself, I find the confused sentence structure Freshman displays to be pretty revealing.
Note that he says "you're asking me to get that specific item" and "worry me". The question asked what item scum would have. The change in subject implies that he thinks of himself as scum. And if he were a townie, why would he be worried if he himself had the item? It's not like there is any imminent danger of having it stolen when it occurs.
Freshman slipped here. He's scum.
I think fresh here meant he's (Ford) is asking, then Ford will get the item and worry Fresh. But the point I was making is that I don't really see contempt for the question/RVS and I don't think showing contempt for RVS is scummy, because everyone hates RVS.

Point 2 I've already discussed - it doesn't make sense.
I thought alamoes was scummy, so it does make sense.

Point 1 cites passiveness. Why doesn't this apply? Because "being passive" essentially means either doing nothing or very little, or being unaggressive and not pursuing cases. Now, I agree that this is true for Ford's first two posts, which may not have existed at all for all the good it did, but look at his posting history up until then - he's been questioning freshman, he declared alamoes town and disagreed on the zrk2 lynch, and pressured IG. For having only survived D1 he's sure got a lot of posts - more than anyone else's D1 save for Vector and more even than some people's entire posting history. Passive? Hardly.
I thought he was passive. Not much I can really say here.


So that's his "case". He stated D2 to The Soldier that he was pursuing a real suspicion, so it's not just a vote with asspulled reasons for pressure - it's a vote with asspulled reasons because he can't come up with any good ones.
I switched to NQT because he was scummier.

Then, when nobody paid any attention to it he decides to switch to NQT. His primary reason? First explained as being because of NQT's post-lynch hypothetical question (without rationale). Note that he then very subtly changes his primary reason to being "he didn't vote for me". Here are two quotes to show that:
ZU seems to me the most scummiest: his curtness is a mask for evasiveness, and his predecessor Fresh was dropping scum tells like they were going out of fashion. But since we've been granted an extension, we've got a little more time to form our reads.
ZU, Zrk2, if we lynch you and you flip town who do you think we should be suspicious of next?
Then why aren't you voting for me? NQT for the second part.
You didn't say that at all. You said "ZU seems to me the most scummiest" Since your English is pretty good, you should know about superlatives and stuff. In no way do I see the implication that you were comparing me and Zrk. Also, good job tunneling IG. To me, not wanting to vote anyone else seems like you're afraid of being part of a mislynch.
I'm confused here. I switched vote to NQT BEFORE the lynch so I don't know what you mean about the post-lynch hypothetical question.

This is taken out of context, of course, but the point is that he stops doing anything with the point he voted NQT on, and doesn't even explain why it's scummy. Vector did a good job of blowing a hole in the argument he switched to - keeping a vote on someone who refuses to answer your questions is pretty legitimate.
I'm pretty sure I explained my point. He claimed that I was scummier than Zrk2. Zrk2 and I were about equally close to getting lynched. He could have very easily voted for me instead of whoever he was putting his vote one, but he didn't. Keeping a vote on someone who refuses to answers questions usually is legitimate, but at that time it wasn't.

His other suspicions are also pretty weak. Let's look at Vector: He started that by arguing with her once she voted for him. His primary argument seems to be that meta is bad, but little else - it's actually pretty funny how his later argument reg. NQT is based on meta, not citing any games, while simultaneously discounting Vector's own meta argument. Even so, there aren't really any damning scumtells that he offers up. The Soldier? Presumably because his understanding of the NQT argument is mistaken. Doesn't seem strong.
Yeah I didn't really have a solid case on either Vector or The Soldier and I didn't find them too suspicious. I still do think that Vector's meta argument is bad. You yourself read through my past games and didn't find that this game meta disagreed with past metas. I was basing my meta argument on NQT on ALL his past games, so I didn't bother listing them.

So, in conclusion:
  • He jumped on Ford without really having seen any tells. Later, he gives some arguments that really don't make sense if you think about it.
  • His behaviour and logic is makes much more sense for a scum aligned player.
  • His case on NQT is similarly weak. It's primarily based on one weak point, and his meta argument is not only weak, his own point against Vector discredits himself.
  • Freshman slipped scum. This is very clear.
  • He pulls a lurker lynch on LYLO before voting me/Death for similarly weak reasons.
  • Note how he doesn't really "go for" someone by trying to question them. He votes with his short reasons, as soon as he sees a tell, and leaves it at that - he defends them if need be, but he doesn't try to incriminate his suspect further or fish for alignment. It's telling of someone who just wants a lynch instead of a scum lynch.
1. Disagree
2. Meh. This is very vague and weak.
3. Completely untrue, especially since NQT flipped SK. Vector's entire case on me basically hinged on a meta argument. Meta was only part of my case.
4. Disagree
5. How do you know its LYLO? I was voting IG because DS replaced out and I gave my reasons on why I don't think its Hapah/Okami.
6. Completely untrue again.

He then votes for me (well, really Deathsword) for reasons that don't hold up as I've mentioned in an earlier post.
I think they do. For everyone's benefit, they are:
1. Supporting LS.
2. Bandwagoning (on both Zrk2 and NQT)
3. Repeating other's argument. (related to both Zrk2 and NQT)

Alright. First things first, LNCP's case on ZU. I read the whole thing (and will patch in a couple questions I have near the bottom), but for starters I'm just gonna list the bullets and my take on them. It's now 3:30 in the am, this is as good as it's gonna get, lol. It might be a bit half-baked (I'm too tired to tell at this point), so feel free to ask about any bits that are confusing.

Then maybe you should try to address it? You can't handwave this stuff away.

I think the fact that he flipped SK is irrelevant. For those of you following along at home, I believe Vector's case is here and ZU's is here, I guess? S'not much of a case.

Freshman slipped scum. This is very clear.
I actually give Fresh the benefit of the doubt. Look at the rest of his posts: he was obviously out of his depth.

Completely untrue again.
ZU's push on NQT has a little bite to it, though.

Quote from: ZU

So you moved your vote to Ford before alamoes had responded?

Quote from: ZU

First part is semantics; you two are obviously talking about the same role. However, you had two entire days and a lot of the pressure got taken off as soon as you replaced in. Three things: Why Ford of all people, and how would you react if someone convo'd you D1, and why send a totally meaningless message?

Quote from: ZU
Quote from: LNCP
-Buddying stuff-
First part is wrong.
You're splitting hairs: As best I can tell you asked him a single question (which reads like a request for clarification, honestly), and then never pressed him on it. That's not exactly leaning on him. You got anything else?

He then votes for me (well, really Deathsword) for reasons that don't hold up as I've mentioned in an earlier post.
I think they do. For everyone's benefit, they are:
1. Supporting LS.
2. Bandwagoning (on both Zrk2 and NQT)
3. Repeating other's argument. (related to both Zrk2 and NQT)
1. Supporting someone who crafted an argument convincing enough to form a lynch majority isn't really scummy, is it? (Interesting note, everyone, and sorry to bury the lead: The votecount at the end of D1 was 5 Zrk to 4 ZU, with one confirmed scum on each. That seems like an awfully gutsy move if ZU was scum, yeah? If any one of the 4 Zrk voters moved to ZU, it would've been a scum lynch)
2. I don't think bandwagoning is necessarily scummy, as long as you can provide justification.
3. Examples, please.

Extend. I'm busy this evening and I need time to get a reply from ZU and to give some counterpoints. Sorry, Hapah, but I'd rather not it end today.

Hapah: You made a post on my case but I don't know if you're addressing me or ZU. Please clarify?

zombie urist:
I was going to make something similar for Hapah today, but this took far too long. I'm pretty confident about the above, though.

This is bullshit and a lie because you unvoted him and admitted it was a mistake, thus offloading the pressure, before alamoes could even do anything.

This smells like you're trying to distance yourself from your scumbuddy. I don't like it one bit.

I don't know who it would be, but it probably is not the soldier, because he started his vote on the noob, me.  I doubt the mafia would do something so isolated like that. 
What do you mean by isolated?

Explain how you thought alamoes was scummy. And if you thought alamoes was scummy, why didn't you pursue him at all - without even so much as an FOS?

You seem to have jumped on Ford first because of the buddying. Now, why would that make him a target before alamoes when his scum connection is much less tenuous and primarily existed only through alamoes? If you mention the Mail thing again, you're going to have to explain in much more detail, because I don't buy that point at all.

A scroll of mail does not make you become lovers. You get to send a short message, then the recipient gets to send one back if he chooses. I used it because I was close to being lynched and figured I might as well make something of it.

Fine, my mistake about the Lovers bit.

That still doesn't change the fact that using it as a scum argument is nonsensical, and the message content even less so. I'd also like to mention that Zrk2 was just as close to the noose as you were - you weren't really all that close that you'd need to prepare for death by flinging your items every which way.

I thought he was passive. Not much I can really say here.

Well, you could elaborate.

So that's his "case". He stated D2 to The Soldier that he was pursuing a real suspicion, so it's not just a vote with asspulled reasons for pressure - it's a vote with asspulled reasons because he can't come up with any good ones.
I switched to NQT because he was scummier.

Why?


I'm confused here. I switched vote to NQT BEFORE the lynch so I don't know what you mean about the post-lynch hypothetical question.

I mean the "if you guys got lynched, what should we do next?" question.

a
This is taken out of context, of course, but the point is that he stops doing anything with the point he voted NQT on, and doesn't even explain why it's scummy.

He could have very easily voted for me instead of whoever he was putting his vote one, but he didn't. Keeping a vote on someone who refuses to answers questions usually is legitimate, but at that time it wasn't.

Why wasn't it? You need to prove these kinds of things.

Imp. Imperial Guardsman. IG., I'm still waiting for a response.

Here's the vote. The question unanswered is pages back. IG hadn't done much at all up until then except bandwagon like an idiot. Why is this scummy?

His other suspicions are also pretty weak. Let's look at Vector: He started that by arguing with her once she voted for him. His primary argument seems to be that meta is bad, but little else - it's actually pretty funny how his later argument reg.

That's because I'm terrible at using meta and always was. But point taken. I'll address this later.

So, in conclusion:

6. Completely untrue again.

Please, explain 2, 3 and 6.

I'm almost certain it's LYLO or at the very least LYLO-1. We have 5 players, and at least 1 is scum. 2 people are refusing to post or move their votes. If that isn't less than hair's breadth away from LYLO, I'll eat my hat.

lordnincompoop - If, purely on a theoretical basis, I was bluffing about the Scroll of Death, and I in fact had a Wand of Death, would you rather I use the second charge on Hapah or IG/??? tonight?  ZU was my target last night, but I was, unfortunately, blocked.

So you do have a Wand of Death, and this is no longer hypothetical. That would, unfortunately, make the wand-possesser (you) the game-changer. Here is the breakdown:

D3: ZU lynched, flips scum.
In this case, we can either win, or move on to N3. This means that there is a second scum or third party, which would have put us as LYLO already today.

D3: ZU lynched, flips town
In this case, there are four people left for N3. There cannot be more than one scum player left here, or at the very extreme one of scum, town and third party each at D4.

In any case, what is left is four town and one scum if we don't win, plus some possible amount of third parties. Scum will likely nightkill either you, or me, or possibly Hapah.

The possible scum players left on N3 would be Okami (you), Hapah and IG. Since you having nightkilled your own scum leader as a bus is pretty unlikely, you're probably town (or, if you really are scum, and you deliberately killed him and made it to D3 just so you could set this situation up as a trusted player, then bravo. You're an amazing scum player). I'm confirmed town.

I still haven't had the chance to comb through Hapah's history, and I need to get on that - but from what I can see in D3, it's as follows: He's voting someone that likely will never reply or do anything, and as it's a vote placed on someone he doesn't find particularly suspicious, it feels like he's just throwing his vote away (scum, at this point, might to this because they think they've bagged the game).

I don't like IG. I don't like his play, I don't like how he's said more than a few lines in ALL of D3 (which has lasted more than two weeks), and hasn't done much better in D1 or D2. I don't like how not even a single clue has managed to rub off on him. I don't like the fact that he is an unknown factor, and that my read is only based on what a person would do. Maybe I'm being too harsh here, but I hope I'm getting the point across.

But if it were up to me, I'd kill someone that I'm reasonably sure could be scum instead of the abrasive guy, even though the latter would probably be infinitely more satisfying.

That means I need to get my reading glasses on and examine Hapah, and you should do the same. If you think you can comb something out of IG, go ahead, but I can't.

How are you confirmed town, again?

Also it'll be four people left if someone gets lynched, not five. If Okami and the scum shoot different targets then game could be over by tomorrow.

Note: I'm going to put the game on an extended extension until we find a replacement, given how far along the game is at this point.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.
