I began to read this and was very interested until I reached the end. When I finally reached the clímax you decided to not make a point, not give your views on why ouro is scum. It makes the post a big pile of nothing.

I expect a lot more.

It's because he's full of shit.

Very sorry wise and powerful Franconp, as of this moment most of my scum radars are gut reads and Ouro not playing town-friendly, which can also be an argument for neutral
 
Haha, so let's be transparent. The reason you scum read me is a reaction, not to fluff, but because I replied to your post.

Then, hypothetically, if I replied to any other post in the thread would I still be scumread? No? Yes? Well, we gotta get more transparent then.

Your read could be construed as a breadcrumb. Yes, this is a fact. When does a person react to another for pointing out their breadcrumb? A)They're scum or B)They're neutral and afraid of being lynched C)They're a strong PR and don't want to be NK'ed. But, you're asking yourselves 'teach me Verelios-Sensei!' which one of these it is. Okay, okay, I'll be more than happy to.

C is off the table because we're introduced to Ouro's first plan of the day, THUNDADOME, which I'm not against but wouldn't give that ultimatum as town. Then we've wasted an entire day where we could have been analyzing other's reactions and poking around. But, you ask, why would Ouro do such a thing? Let's get Transparent and find out.

Well, well, well, is it possible Ouro is a neutral? Sure, it's possible. He did breadcrumb a 'strange power' to use later so it fits. But, I have to ask myself, would a neutral be so outspoken? Would they really be so brazen? I guess they would if the conditions were right. Then, would they care if town or scum were lynched? Why, no, no they probably wouldn't. Very interesting.

So we're left with the question of if Ouro is scum. Now, I know, everyone wants to hear my analysis on it and that's fine, I'd be more than pleased. But, in the spirit of transparency I have to decline and ask the person himself-

Ouro, are you scum?

There's something...off...about this...

I'm sure there is at least one scum between Ynnek and myself, but that doesn't help us much today; that's a lot of names. I actually meant that I think they tried to use the NK on me.

And you are alive...how?

Does no one truly find it odd Ouro doesn't try and refute me but just points and yells scum? We can do better Ouro. Together, let's make Overwatch Mafia great again!

There's nothing to refute. It's all fantasy scenarios crafted by scum trying to turn it around.

Why would AB think they meant to NK him today? GAFia scum just as often target high profile talkers as much as they do low hanging fruit. That comment seems really... weird.

I said this yesterday (game wise) but I really don't like Verelios's tone either. It's really snarky.

If you want to rally people to vote ouro you have to gives us something. Gut feelings won't cut as they are yours only. You just need to tell me why. You didn't. Instead asked ouro if he was scum, what did you expected with that? Come on!!!

If you make a compeling argumemt of why ouro is scum I will be interested.

Pd: Also try to cut the passive agressive answer. It doesn't help to prove your point.

I've outlined my reasoning for Verelios being scum, and it's sound. He doesn't have anything on me, he's just trying to wriggle out of it.

Anyone want to take me up on my offer? Vote Verelios today, then me tomorrow if you like. Either you get 1 town and 1 scum, or 2 scum, if you think I am bussing. A win-win for town.

At this point I'm pretty deflated. I outlined my reasoning with Ouro's 'breadcrumbing', penchant for thunder domes and his action of deflecting attention away by being aggressive. What exactly else do you guys want me to prove? That's enough for me to scum read him.

I'm just comparing you to our last game and it feels like your arguments aren't as strong and as fran noted, you feel really passive aggressive. I'm not certain that's a scum tell, however... but it's certainly giving me a weird feeling.

Passive agressive? It's all in good fun, or at least that's how I enjoy myself. It's very dreary being chaste and bleak for every post.

I get the feeling both of you guys were just desperate to run a lynch train on whoever you could find and settled on each other.

"Not I," said the fly.

He did what scum does on D1 - find a hole and go after it. He was doing absolutely no scum-hunting before then, not even asking questions or anything innocuous.

Okay so, ignoring the Verelious/Ourobob schism going on for a minute...

Reasonings behind Ynnek7 votes:

Read this to yourself again Ynnek.

The only difference here is that there are no ordinaries, which means PRs are weakened in their stature because there are so many of them. So then move onto what you describe. Possibly two town dead, maybe more than that on Day 2 start.


You could sub any game of Mafia in there aside from pure vanilla ones, it's not a unique situation. You shouldn't be afraid of hitting a power role in a game that is all power roles.

VOTE: Ynnek7

My lynch list is still pretty large, you'll do for now.


Still hoping WAMD checks in before day end though.

Basically "you wanted no lynch, which is scummy"? It's a solid enough reasoning in D1, I'm not a fan of no lynching myself.

This vote was put at a time when there was 0 votes on Ynnek.

i will follow my gut this time.

VOTE: Ynnek7

the way you play is faar to similar to the last time, you seem to love to coast and i dont like that at all

This vote feels little lazy, although I can see the argument that it was similar to the game where Ynnek was a neutral. At the time of this vote there wasn't still much traction on Ynnek.

---- At this time Melon mentions that she agrees with nin's sentiment. There are ties, and ties are broken with some votes. ----

Here we go, multi way tie. This should get some interesting movement:

Vote: Ynnek7

This vote feels just lazy, the only reason for this seems to be "let's stirr some shit up". AB trying to start an Ynnek train without being explicit about it?

----In the vote count on Page 22, Mazre and AB are frontrunners at 4 votes, Ezekel and Ynnek follow with 3 votes. There is one hour left in the day during this count---

Out of the people present I'd choose a vote on Ynnek because he's completely flying under me. I wouldn't have even remembered him if it wasn't for nin, and that reminds me of his neutral play. Going back over his posts, I'm comfortable with this vote unless he starts making waves.

VOTE: Ynnek7

If nothing exceptual comes up I'll be sticking with this vote. However, if you guys want to jump to Ouro I'll be more than happy to hand in my slip

This vote reads little off. Did Verelious remember Ynnek only due to Nin's vote? Or was there other posts to back this up too? It's also interesting how basically Verelious is giving himself a backdoor to exit the Ynnek vote to an Ourobolus one.

---At the end of page 22, Verelious' vote has put a tie between three players. Sophia comes in with this vote---

I don't like any of those three votes. But of those three, I dislike Ynnek the least

Vote: Ynnek7

This is a pretty standard vote to break off a tie, I guess. But I do want to hear again why Sophia decided on Ynnek instead of other tie-people.

---Sorian posts a votecount on Page 23. Ynnek is now in the lead with 6 votes, but AB is close behind with 5, one of them a vote from Ynnek---

Let's try to prevent some last-minute tie shenanigans
(The difference between a tie and a no-lynch on d1 is that scum can use it to stir some shit up)
VOTE: Ynnek7

This is a vote with no justification other than "no sheaningans". Did Xam even mention Ynnek in his posts... ever? I have to reread his posts, luckily there aren't that many of them with much content :p.

You know what? I'll take your word for it.

VOTE: Verelios

I wanna just warn you right now though. If Vere is lynched and it turns out he's town, you are immediately on the top of my list of scum reads. And I assume a lot of other player's as well.

My guess? Scum went after me. Ynnek was town. I know I am town. Best thing for Scum to do in a two-town split is kill the person who didn't get lynched and leave town (relatively) unfocused.

Posting while my train is stopped.

Why would scum try to Night Kill someone who was almost lynched yesterday? I can't see the point in that.

My concern with Ouro right now is that he reminds me of me in WWE, where I tunneled on Scrafty... like real hard. I was town there, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a town vs town scenario.

I do agree with Sophia that I don't like Verelious' snarky tone right now. Something is off about it.

I'm tunneling here, sure, but I have good reason. I did the same thing to Scrafty on D1 of GAFia 1 and she was scum. D2 of that game I did the same thing, and while Retro wasn't scum, he was an SK.

I had less of a scum read (or read in general) on Mazre, and AB was answering questions and stuff.

Also, worth pointing out that when I asked Melon if she was jumping on the AB train, she replied as follows

Him or Ynnek.

Yet didn't move her vote. Not sure how to take it, but something to consider for the record.

I'll put my first vote of the day here:

VOTE: AbsolutBro

He got more pro-active in terms of posting his own reads at the end-tail of D1, but on the other hand, he had that weird "time to stirr shit up!" vote for Ynnek, and today's "I must have been targeted" just felt off to me. This is the early-day though.

Because it seems no one sees what I do, that's what's so frustrating

That doesn't stop you voting for Ouro, though? It's not like the day ends the moment you do. Just seems little weird how you advertised the idea of Scum Ouro to us in D1 and now today, yet you have never voted for him during this game.

Okay. A little weak reasoning, but I guess I can see it.

I'm hoping for Mazre and Haly to step up today. Haly has been a non-entity after the mass-claim idea, and Mazre has just been a puff of smoke.

Yeah, I admit it's weak, unfortunately. :(

Besides Mazre and Haly, I'd like to hear more from Cabot and did like how he stepped it up today with the questions. Kind of waiting to have a long convo with him, actually.

Danish pop gig is over. Time to mafia.

Why would AB think they meant to NK him today? GAFia scum just as often target high profile talkers as much as they do low hanging fruit. That comment seems really... weird.

We're in a game full Of PRs. Do you honestly think Scum would go for the high profile players when everyone has a role?

Seems like a bad play to Me on night one...

I really think that a couple of scum voted for Ynnek the last day. Ynnek was relitive safe being low profile but a couple of hours before deadline he got several votes. I want to hear from Absolutbro and Xam why they voted for ynnek because they didn't give one the last day. They just voted.

Also I'm not too sure about Bronx. He wanted a no lynch (that's a no) and didn't vote (another no)
 
Holy crap GAF is slow.

And you are alive...how?
In a game where literally everyone is a PR, you are actually asking this question. Amazing. Also sketchy.

I am reasonably sure I outlined my logic in my post. It is a strategy I have seen discussed in Gafia threads: when you have a close vote between two town players, usually the person who did not get lynched is the focus of discussion the next day. By night killing that person, you leave town with far less to discuss and conversation stagnates. Were GAF not pretty much crapping itself right now, I would search for the posts.

I admit, the Ouro / Vere feud going on sort of counters my logic somewhat, but they could not have known it would explode so early in the day.

We're in a game full Of PRs. Do you honestly think Scum would go for the high profile players when everyone has a role?

Along these lines, if I was so close to being lynched, it would be a safe bet that any protective PR would probably target someone else. After all, plenty of people were convinced I was scum right? Enough that I was #2 on the chopping block at least.

Few situations help so voting patterns like a tied vote. Likely one or all of the tied players wpuld end up dead at some point. When that happens you can be sure of their alignments and examine who voted for whom.

Also seriously. I am typing this on my phone and my pc is still showing my last reply screen.

Sure, it helps to look at voting patterns... but your vote still looks like there was no good reasoning behind it. Did you even mention ynnek before on your posts? You could even make the argument later that your vote on ynnek is not indicative of voting patterns, since it was just "stirring shit up" thing.

Also, a question. Your thoughts on Verelious?

GAFia scum tend to take out conversation talkers as much as they do low end people. And regardless if the game is full of power roles, that doesn't necessarily mean they have any more knowledge of where the valuable ones are over the lesser ones.

I'm just not sure why anyone would be assuming where they're shooting now, especially when we didn't have a death. : \

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I slept through the end of the last day. I'm more used to these phases ending at 5PM EST.

Anyway Ynnnek? Not expected at all. I'll have to go through the prior pages when GAF isn't being a piece of shit.

Vote: Mazre
 
Ok, had to prepare this post on sticky since gaf has been messing up. I will miss some stuff, was trying to go back and look over some posts but that is a hellish task atm.

Ouro vs Vere: Ver seems overly defensive in his replies about Ouro, but the only thing ouro seems to have is trying to lynch him when he wasn't there. I need to go over the posts to see how it went down.


I'll be back on gaf at around midnight to see if things are any clear for goin thru posts
