Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
Ok. So I looked back and part of the reason is I confused him with DoubtingThomas who was the cop in the game I faked cop. So my impression could be wrong. I guess I'll go look at some prior Neph games.

I do not think the part about what is in character for Nephthys is accurate. What games were you basing this assessment on?

Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
I haven’t read him yet. But if I had to bet if this was more likely town or scum, I’d guess he’s town. (Again going off the last 2-3 pages alone)bozotheclown wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 4:39 pmSo do you think that indicates Tom is town?

Or he was asked to sub out by his team so his mislynch wont ruin their perfect scumwin today...Tom Bombadil wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 2:50 pmI still don't understand the scumread of Neph. He barely posted D1, missed the deadline - posted little D2 and subbed out. POE makes him plausible, but I don't understand people genuinely scumreading him.
It's like the people who believe he deliberately missed the deadline haven't considered that his subbing out brings credence to the fact that he may have genuinely missed the deadline.
He was inactive during the first few days in last game too but was just fine playing along at a low volume.
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
So it seems everyone so far scum reads chaqa. Why?
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
Not if you don't lynch me.Tom Bombadil wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 2:58 pmLooking back on D1 under the assumption damo is scum (because if he is town we are about to lose anyway).
I've expressed my paranoia that kgray is scum and bussed, because otherwise the entire damo wagon was town.
That being said, I don't think kgray is scum. She voted damo, but at the same time scumread xorx, and probably even posted more about xorx D1. She was also online at the deadline. She could have easily voted xorx at the end to avoid potential ties, as xorx was someone she also scumread.
Probably town after all. Which means everyone on damo was town. And I find it hard to believe all scum were on the same wagon if it was town v town. So either damo is scum, or scum weren't around (Chaqa/Neph)
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
@worcej I didn't have a chance to reply to this yesterday because I needed to catch up at EOD, but I wanted to comment on this part of your post:
And you're definitely right about my tendency to scumread certain people because they don't think/act like I do, and that you're one of those people. But I am trying to remove those instincts from my scumreads. For example, that's why I've been second-guessing my scumread of damo. I am worried that it was mostly based on my predisposition to think his way of playing is scummy, and I'm concerned that we have another TvT scenario where nobody thinks that it's possible that both damo and xorxes could be town and that's going to lose us the game.
Anyway, my point is that I am trying to be more open to different playstyles. It helps a lot that your claim makes you almost certainly town, so I can trust your intentions in this game. I am going to keep poking, though :)
I'm not sure what you mean by me trying to assume the worst case, but really what I'm trying to do is not take anything as fact. I understand that there is information to be gained and that you have to make assumptions to piece together the game. You and food provided us with information and I'm not trying to discredit that, it's just that there are other things going on too and I fundamentally disagree with making an assumption like "either summit or vecna is scum" and therefore narrowing down the lynch between the two of them.worcej wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 5:52 pmI don't have an issue with you poking, it's that you seem to assume the worst case and seem to not operate off information presented to you from your PRs. And if you try to compare my logic to someone like xorxes or bozo, I'll always be scum to you because I do not think or act like them.

Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
I know xorxes and damo talked about this earlier, but why do you think it's unlikely it was TvT if only town were on damo's wagon? I don't see a huge reason for scum to vote for town!damo in this scenario. If voting for xorxes (or worcej or nobody) gets them a xorxes mislynch, and a setup for a damo mislynch, AND the assumption that there'd be scum on damo's wagon... That would be a pretty great outcome for scum, right?Tom Bombadil wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 9:27 pmSo D1 we have three confirmed town on damo's wagon, and the other two being myself and kgray. I don't strongly suspect kgray is scum. Knowing my alignment, if kgray is also town, there were 5 town on damos wagon.
T v T seems unlikely in that scenario.
##vote damo
That said, I strongly townread bozo, and I'm treating worcej and food as confirmed town, so that only leaves chaqa, neph/bunny, and emc/vecna in that case. Not sure that's most likely.
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
Not sure it matters at this point, but it looks like summit was commuting his townreads to protect them, given that he townread food D1 and bozo D2.
Summit's commute comes before RB in the action order, so they probably didn't RB him unless they somehow thought he was a vig, but that seems unlikely. What do you mean by "if they actually killed him"?- Scum probably RB'ed summit if they actually killed him, so my gut says they figured he was PR during the day.
Can you explain your scumteam thoughts more? Do you have it as me/Tom because you don't think the D1 damo wagon could have been all town? Why are Chaqa and Neph an either/or pair? What odds make emc/Vecna more likely town?My thoughts:
- VCA would indicate Tom and kgray would be the scum that could be bussing Damo on D1 and couldn't move due to EOD positions.
- Neph continues to looks bad and uninterested in VCA's for 2 phases, which leads me to believe he is scum because Neph normally cares in games.
- My scum team thoughts are damo / (Tom/kgray) / (Chaqa/Neph) - I believe bozo is town and EMC/Vecna is town out of the group and just sheer odds. I lean Tom more scummy than kgray and honestly would probably consider Chaqa more scummy than Neph simply because I don't think Neph is as blatant about being scum and Chaqa is able to be scum pretty easily.
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
I get your point, and I agree that the tied vote was a huge disadvantage. But I really don't think that tying the vote to save yourself is alignment-indicative at all. I think preventing a known mislynch is better than proving that you're a VT. I know we disagree on this so we don't need to hash it out further, but regardless of what is actualy the better play for town I think many townies would self-save. So I don't scumread damo for that vote.worcej wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 9:40 pmMy analysis and thought process is damo is smart enough as town to know there is zero point in saving yourself as a VT. The flip is worth more than your presence in the game because it narrows down the field for PRs to do their work while also allowing VCA.
FWIW - damo as scum has shown the ability to focus on pairs and team setups, so him trying to continue to build off the information that D1 was TvT is in his scum game realm of options.
That said, the timing of damo's vote is definitely suspicious. It would have been far better for him to do it earlier so we could react. He claims he didn't check in until right at EOD so I don't think I'm ever going to know if this was actually intentional or not.
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
Chaqa was town in this game:bozotheclown wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 12:14 amChaqa was scum in the older game.bozotheclown wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 7:25 amChaqa wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 1:54 amToday we don't have to worry about it if my reading of the roles is right, but tomorrow onward the mafia could have a vote doubling ability - so we need to make sure our wagons are not too close or else one mafia member could switch and do a 3 vote swing.
##Vote EMC until he votes, as is tradition
Not dropping damo off the radar, but I want to pressure EMC to not get modkilled again, like he has before. Damo's comment still seems like an extremely forced way to vote xorx. Maybe they're teammates?

Really angry. Makes the game almost unplayable. A further transgression and I will appeal to the committee/council whatever the fuck it is and request a temporary ban. I mean it. Do NOT fucking repeat such stupidity.
Re: M1011 - Revenge of the Space Mutants - Game Thread
@bozo you're obviously bringing up those posts from old games to explain/justify/further your scumreads of Chaqa and damo but they're clearly cherry picked as both have done similar things as town. This seems like you're trying to force a narrative. How much weight are you giving to these posts and damo and Chaqa's meta in general?
