I just caught someone throwing out random names not realizing who is on the player list. Someone who only knows who his scum buddies are and doesn't care who the lynch is.

Is this actually something you believed?

I'll admit i was poking fun at BCT at first but even this counter vote isn't sitting well with me
The fact that it took you this long to admit that - despite you being the one dwelling on it - is not a good look. It was a joke. Let it go and start hunting scum instead of hunting town.

Can you explain Han's train of thought on BCT and what you do and don't agree with?

Han's argument is that BCT sounds like he's trying to seem towny rather than having legitimate thoughts. I just feel like I see that argument every game and don't particularly think it's strong, though to Han's credit, he did provide a specific example. And I can see where he's coming from with that post, but I don't think it's a strong enough point to warrant a lynch train.

That's what I initially thought, at least, but I went back and briefly skimmed Baseball Musical Mafia (more so I was looking through the dead player lists since I was trying to remember which game BCT replaced out of, which was indeed Baseball Musical Mafia). BCT largely behaved the same back then with going completely on the defensive. So this seems NAI for BCT; this is just how he behaves regardless of being scum or town.

So now I'm wary of repeating what happened in that game. I'm seeing very similar patterns here, though that's just me fearing if BCT is Town. Could just as easily be Mafia, but I'd say it's a coin toss if we're going just off of BCT's reactions right now.

Also, what theory of yours was changed when Sultans phone inserted Plum instead of Han?

mind you he also referenced you voting and your strongest read which at that moment in time for you WAS/IS Han, so you had enough info to know what Sultan meant and instead decided to go for the jugular like you just nailed scums ass to the wall.

I think Scum BCT would be more afraid than angry.

It does strike me that BCT entered this game with the attitude he demonstrated "any point to posting? You already think I'm scum".

Many signs point to him being Town I think. Though he made a few posts that ticked off Scum boxes (narrating of what's happening in game).

But I think, for BCT to be Scum, this would have to be premeditated attitude, and if that's the case, I think Lopen is the only player on the list who would encourage BCT to make a play like that.

Tl;Dr BCT likely Town, but if Scum, is paired with Lopen.

##Unvote: Ctes


I like Ctes's explanations as well for the moment.

Sultan did something that makes me think he's Town. And Poppy seems to be analyzing the game from an honest standpoint, so I'm feeling Town. And Red.is seeming Townish too.

Think that's where I'm sitting on things at the moment.

No... as someone who was on the receiving end of this argument not too long ago, this is a stretch. Though in my case, it was a joke instead of a misunderstanding, but it's still not a solid argument.

I know you have a tendency to suspect the people who vote you, BCT, but this ain't it.

Sorry, was just trying to make a point in my usual way outside Mafia.

In short: I have no idea what I'm doing. That's really all there is to it. Since I'm town, I have nobody to coach me, and thus I appear incoherent. I do think it was a typo and no theory actually changed - I was just acting as if it did to see how Sultan would react.

I legit don't know what to believe and I'm pursuing every theory as it comes. I get a reply and then I drop it if I'm satisfied with the responses. I'm trying to do what I see everyone else doing, but in some way I'm just not doing a good job of it. I don't understand.

That being said, I think you're rather quick to jump to conclusions. I don't necessarily agree with Han's train of thought on BCT, but it's worth pursuing just to see what happens.

I can't recall enough games with BCT to remember whether his defensive behavior like this is the norm for his playstyle or not. I definitely remember this defensiveness from Nickelodeon Mafia, where he was scum. I don't quite remember his Baseball Musical Mafia behavior, though, if anyone has any data on that. Either way, it's worth testing the consistency of this pattern just to see if it holds up.
does he overreacted to pressure as town or is it exclusively as scum, because if it's the former then "testing the consistency of this pattern" isn't going to accomplish anything but makign him frustrated

dunno i encounter this type of player archetype all the time where they freak out and get upset the moment someone suggests what they're doing is suspicious (usually it's me) and more often than not it's town who is frustrated with pressure and feels they're being treated unfairly. pressuring this type of player further only makse them get more defensive which causes people to double down and then they get yeeted and flip town and everyone blames them for reacting badly. basically pushing on that type of player isn't going to get anything useful out of them because it pulls them into a never-ending argument where if you leave them alone they'll be able to actually solve and towntell if they're town.

ideally people would NOT have a conniption every time someone so much as looks at them sideways but as things are i don't see good reason to keep on harping on BCT

On another note, Poppy, Corrik, would you two mind explaining your votes?

You know what

It just occurred to me that Ben tried pulling this crap of completely misinterpreting one of my posts back in Simple Mafia and trying to accuse me of contradicting myself. It brushed me the wrong way at the time, but I didn't do anything about it because I thought it was a genuine mistake. And then he ended up flipping scum to my surprise.

Now, I'm getting deja vu from Ben's attempt to make me look bad this game. Feels very much like a repeat tactic from Simple Mafia, but unlike back then, I'm not letting you go that easily this time around!

To answer you SBell:

"Is anyone Scum yet?" Yes, though I'm not sure who all it is. It would be a pretty dumb game of Mafia if there weren't any Scum.

And that post reads as frustrated, not afraid.

BCT as Scum didn't show nearly this level of angst when called Scum to his face. I don't see him as Scum at the moment.

I don't like how you're working him, but I can't say for sure that it makes you Scum. I put you in the position of having to put your chips down, and frankly, I don't like your conclusion. That's said, I'd have to reread you to really be sure how I feel about you.

Hbthebattle posted...

It is. I'm setting myself opposite of the people that made him upset in that game to see how that adjusts his thought processes.

That said, I did think he was Town that game, and if I had more confidence in myself, Plum would not have been lynched, so there's that.

Anyway I'm feeling worst about Kirby right now, I think? A couple things
  • His initial wall felt far more like summary than any thoughts on the game, which even for Kirby's walls is not usually true when he's town.
  • I don't liked the way he was pushing BCT and then jumped off when put to a little bit of scrutiny, feels somewhat ingenuine
  • He hasn't been scum yet iirc so he has to be scum now (this is how probability works)

It is incorrect, yes. Red is referring to me saying he's always a good lynch, which, since mafia picked back up with Chris's experimental mafia where we were scum together, has been true in every single game except for 1.

Me thinking Red is always a good lynch is not directly related to whether I think he's scum or not.

But right now he strikes me more Townish.
why's that b/c i'm not seeing anything that looks town from him

If I'm overreacting, then it's too an overreaction. I got called scum outright. That's an overreaction in and off itself. But... maybe I'm reading into that differently? IDK... but I'd never jump to such a conclusion that quickly. Big difference between pressure and accusation.

i don't want to turn this into a mafia theory lecture but someone making an accusation very early on day 1 is, like, normal and there's plenty of time for people to change their minds you shouldn't let it get to you

Well there is little to read so that shouldn't take you too much time.

As for "working him" It would appear that his current posting style forgets anything he said prior to his next current post. "I don't have enough info to scum hunt in 4 pages of posts" followed by "And I am Scum Hunting". Telling Sultan to start Scum Hunting and then telling me he has literally no idea what he's doing.

There is a lot of "I'll say whatever I have to say to answer this post", this is a very defensive and afraid way of posting and I've yet to actually see an ounce of this "anger" you refer to.

Wrap it all up with the first post "Why should i bother posting you all think i'm scum already" post. BCT isn't as daft as he'd like us to believe he is, or how you are currently seeing his behavior and chalking off as Town.

Sultan, BCTs first post was garbage for so many reasons. If scum or town, it's just a bad way to walk into a game. He's still green.

Your post, highlighting his "jokiness" inside and outside of Mafia is fine, except then you chastise him for doing it as a first post. Why did you acknowledge that this is the type of person he is, in your opinion, and then attack him for being that person? Did you feel like making that joke post was indicative of Scumplay from BCT? If not, then what purpose did it serve?

Sultan. I do still want an answer to this post (Post 200) when you come back. Please and thank you.

Yes. I'd say its more afraid than angry. I think we've seen him get into a rage (anger) in the 2(3?) games he's been a part of. He's more concerned with how he'll look if he says things. I think a better exhibit of anger would be him responding to these posts which he's clearly choosing to step away from for fear of what might be gleaned.
