He started the Kgray wagon without any evidence, and when challenged to explain his vote, he chose not to do so. He's acting like a white cop who saw a black man in a well-off neighbourhood.

Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
Man...I gotta play like this more. It makes the hunting feel easier. Seth shows up, posts WALLS of dense texts saying "waaaa? me?!?!?" and then promptly shifts to meaningless dense analysis. ##vote seth based on reading to here.

Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
OK, I got to here. But I actually had the opposite read here. Seth is very straightforward as scum. He has now lined up his "defense". It goes "but look at my role guys!! I can't be scum, I chose this role specially for this defense, aren't you going to let me use it?"ghug wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 7:10 pmNo.seth24c wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 7:07 pmScumslip? This one is tempting if nothing else than because you seemed to be assuming from the start that the fruit vendor was town.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 7:03 pm
Yes I got that, I was just having a sudden rush of shit to the brain.
If anything it displays consistency with his desire to claim his role yesterday. He's used to a mindset where PRs can claim to clear themselves and nothing has broken him of that yet, which actually pushes him more towards town for me.
Which brings to mind, are there any roles scum would never choose at all?
OK, it's late. I'll pick up here tomorrow.

Hi JamieJamiet99uk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 31, 2020 2:04 amOn Page 74 Hellenic Riot naked voted for Kgray, no reason at all offered.
Hamilton asked him about it and this was his response:
This didn't explain the "why" part of the vote.Hellenic Riot wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:17 amA lot of names haven't crossed my lips, and I don't think I've given any reads on any that haveHamilton Brian wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:46 pm
Why? Over D1 and N1, their name never crossed your lips. Why now?![]()
I pressed HR on this, but he disappeared and did not answer:
15 pages of absence followed, and then HR reappeared and briefly got involved in the Fruit Vendor discussion:Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:23 amCould you answer the first part of the question, instead of just the second part?Hellenic Riot wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:17 amA lot of names haven't crossed my lips, and I don't think I've given any reads on any that have![]()
Still no explanation for the Kgray vote, and still avoiding answering questions about it.Hellenic Riot wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 8:33 pmBeing tracked to someone that isn't the kill is a pretty good thing, particularly if there's only one scum left.
During N1, Hellenic Riot did not mention Kgray at all.
During D1, Hellenic Riot did not mention Kgray at all.
Something is not right here.

Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
Hi Teacon, no I’m not an MP. I’m involved in local Green Party politics. We’re a long way from getting substantial numbers of MPs. But like many places around the world people are more aware of environmental issues. UK politics is shifting to the right imho. The ‘moderate’ Tories were expelled last year and the left’s talisman has now been expelled from Labour who are shifting right as well.teacon7 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 11:08 pmThe closest he gets is here:kgray wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 10:03 pmI don't know of any reason for Maniac to say we should kill Rivera before too long that is not due to Rivera being vanilla. Even if it's because the assumption is that mafia would NK that role, the case for Rivera's death is still tied to his role. How is what you're saying different?I'm not really defending Maniac on this. But his nuance seems to place a greater weight on rivera's status as "needs to be fearkilled by someone," rather than his role.Maniac wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 7:10 pmWe don't need the numbers. But Rdriveria needs to be town jesus and lead to to a scum {REDACTED} D2 or we'll have to kill him D3. Sound harsh, but he is likely to die before end game anyway. If he is scum and we kill him it will emphasize that Mafia have recruited I think.
That said, on iso/reread/searching for these quote, Maniac seems really hedgy. Like he's not reading, but repeating other people's arguments. Look at the way he's talking about people here:
This is like... darg/emc/bunny grade hedging/qualifications. I expect more from Maniac, especially after the excellent performances in such games as M52, or literally any other game he's been in. What's going on here?Maniac wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 6:51 pmPeople I won’t vote for today:
Rdriveria – I’m not even going to bother reading him. If I had to guess I’d say he is town. If he is, he knows it’s a team game and why we have to kill him before too long. Hopefully he’ll put in some spade work and leave us with some useful insights.
Bo_Sox – I’ve isolated and skimmed Bo and can’t find anything that jumps out as scummy to me.
Ghug – someone else I’ve isolated. He doesn’t appear out of character (apart from Haikus obviously), small question mark over whether he is super engaged, but I think I need more than that to vote for him today.
HR – Not contributing much. But could be a key player towards the end IIRC
Hamilton – seems to participate. Nothing shady
Dargorygel – seems engaged and trying to solve the puzzle.
People I need to look at more closely and could be persuaded to vote for:
Kgray, macca, Teacon7 (very slight town lean)
People I could vote for today:
Jamie, Damo, Bunny, Chaqa, Vecna
Jamie I’ve reassessed completely. I had him as fairly solid town because of his opening spat with me, but now I’m really not sure about him. His DK could help in D1 voter analysis. His participation seems to ebb and flow and lots of words as if spamming the thread to make t harder for us all, I know that can be his style. I just feel this game, he could be scum.
Of the other four, none of them would be a big loss to our efforts to solve the puzzle. All need to do more. This game will depend on people working harder I think.
@maniac, are you really running for parliament? Can I have a job?
Can anyone give me some insight as to what's going on in UK politics right now ?
It’s interesting your comments on my reads. When you’re held that mirror up, you’re absolutely right that in previous games I was more certain, got hold of a bone and pushed it doggedly. I was often wrong of course. Perhaps that has made me more measured and I try not to tunnel so much. There was a time I would have given Jamie a pass based on first interaction and then torn into Ghug. Now I’m more open minded. I don’t obsess about the thread either so do play be feel more than detail. Interesting how that has obviously affected my writing style.
It’s kind of you to say I’ve been good in the past but I was awful in my last game.

Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
I'll definitely take that as a complement and also go ahead and apologize that I let you down.. I normally would take an interest in and try to do such things but I guess I just wasn't feeling up to it that day.kgray wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 7:58 pmYou are not my strongest scumread. I am saying that I think you are the most likely person to have faked not knowing the scum mechanics.seth24c wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 5:26 pmSo my post on bozo’s survey, which is quite similar to several others I might add, is your reason to have me at the top of your suspect list? Based on whether bozo is correct that scum would try to force a lack of knowledge on the setup? Even discounting that I am the focus of this post am not at all a fan of this post.kgray wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 2:07 pm
Last game seth was fairly in-and-out in terms of participation, and I don't think it's scummy to not type everything you're thinking in a stream-of-consciousness type way. But I am still concerned with the way seth talked about the scum mechanics. If bozo is correct that scum would try to force that they didn't know how that works, then seth is my top candidate.

Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
I should elaborate. My case against Jamie is that he asked teacon7 who he thought was pushing a MIS-KILL on him. How would Jamie know? If Jamie flips scum, teacon is clear.
Flum has said he has picked up a Jamie scum tell and when questioned by Ghug as to how confident he is in that tell he has responded with 4 out of 5.
All aboard choo-choo
Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
My issue with it is that he seemed to have developed that suspicion pretty rapidly after I asked him why he was giving you a pass as one of his suspects on the flum wagon. rdr seemed to pivot on his read once it received some attention from my point of view.kgray wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 8:21 pmWhat is your issue with Rivera's suspicion of me? Are you not scumreading me for similarly vague reasons?seth24c wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 6:35 pmThis is the first time you express your concerns with kgray after claiming that teacon and I are your picks for the scummiest on the flum wagon. May be confirmation bias on my side but this feels like you trying to find an unrelated reason to scumread her after you gave her a pass at first.rdrivera2005 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 12:42 pm
I don't think this is scummy from HR. And I understand his concerns with Kgray, I am not feeling the obvtown vibes she usually gave when she is town. Plus, she is my top choice for a recruit....
Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
Maybe I'm missing something but rdr voted teacon day 1 and rdr still had teacon as a scumread until recently (maybe that changed?) what time period are you referring to that people voting teacon was not for a good reason?BunnyGo wrote: ↑Sat Oct 31, 2020 2:50 amI'll do my best.
Up to this point, you didn't ask, but I've never seen Damo's banana and have no desire to.
I too get Vecna and Fluminator confused despite them having very different names. I think their posting style sometimes is similar. Vecna gets more excited than Flum, but when they are analytical and calm it is similar.
I agree with rdr's statement that the reason people voted teacon was not good. I also agree that to this point, Seth is still triggering my warnings, but I haven't put my finger on why.
Oh and @bo: I got in a car accident (well...got a ticket.)
Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread

Re: M61 - The Mastermind's Revenge - Game Thread
Don't know if it was you who said it bo but someone was questioning bunny about why he was concerned for vecna since he hadn't posted in 12 hours or something. Asked if he would be worried about any other player in the same way I think?

Thanks for the translation.
