You're practically confirmed scum unless you can prove yourself by confirming yourself as town during the day(i.e. Innocent Child/Day Vig/Day Cop).

Just in case I die, look at my reads.

And Blood/Ramsey/Bonsai/Shoop/Arthur should be lynch options tomorrow.

HBA is a subset of Correlation Implies Causation, which goes like this:
Ice cream sales go up in the summer.
Thefts go up in the summer.
Therefore ice cream sales are responsible for the increase in theft.
This is incorrect, of course. What I meant was this:
Unless you can prove that JC's play right now only applies to his scum game, then no accusations on his meta can be made, as he could play the game both ways.

You may understand it in a way like this, if you want to follow the wiki argument.
JC was scum when he played aggressively.
He is playing aggressively now.
Therefore he is scum.

Incorrect, of course.

There is no correlation between me giving the final vote and my alignment. Either way, I'm excited for you to eat your words.

No correlation?
Re: Quickhammering.
There is literally no incentive for any townie to quickhammer. A few reasons:
It ends the day early, thus preventing vital information that could be gained.
A rash, reckless quickhammer could hit town, as proven when FoD quickhammered KBW in 12.

Meanwhile, the mafia have a lot of incentive for them to quickhammer. A reason:
It ends the day early, thus preventing vital information for the town to use. The quickhammers in 12 really prevented scumhunting among the town in D3 as they have close to no information to go off on, enough to easily win.

Re: Hammering.
Even if Panthera flips scum, Ramsey, I'm not letting you off the hook. There's something called "bussing". In All-Stars, TOWK bussed Dephius fairly well, but in most cases bussing looks obvious as the mafia will usually not place the first vote on another member after the RVS. When a mafia member realizes a lynch is inevitable, they will place the hammering vote on a townie in hopes of getting townie points.

If you don't understand, I'll break it down.

And please don't tempt fate.

Im a very impatient mafia player. Thats all there is to it. I didnt think we should let three more days pass waiting for 194, that would be dumb and boring. Ask our beloved host, hahaha. You're wasting your breath. Just calm your tits until D2 where i will kindly, and gladly, shut you up.

Impatience=Scum.

And even then, my dear Ramsey, we have gained vital information from your quickhammer. We have gained info that you are pretty much scum.

In the three days we spend waiting for 194, Felipe could've answered my question, I could've asked Blood about his read on me and questioned other reads. But oh well, you did quickhammer.

I'd like to see what you do come Day 2.

I have a lot of catching up to do.
@Brik
Don't think I don't suspect you. You are openly using the Straw Man logical fallacy, and I find it quite hilarious. Anyhow, it's time to nitpick.

Firstly, TOWK did not say anything about the Hitler Built Autobahns, or anything related to that. He only included that logical fallacy into his post, either unknowingly or knowingly. Also, the sentence that you have there about what TOWK said is totally off.
What TOWK actually said was:
Quote:
Scummy feeling from posts and seems to be acting the same as his previous game, where he was scum. Discuss.

What the Hitler Built Autobahns actually are:
Quote:
You did X as scum in the last game I played with you, and you have done it here. Therefore, you are scum.

Next up.

No. The Hitler Built Autobahns do NOT assume that the 'correlation alone' indicates a certainty of scumhood. LIES. If you'd have even bothered reading the mafiascum page on 'Hitler Built Autobahns', you would not have used the Straw Man logical fallacy and I would not have suspected you. That post of TOWK's did have weak reasoning, though for some reason, you did not see that it was based on the logical fallacy, 'Hitler Built Autobahns', and therefore, it DID have weak reasoning, as it was a logical fallacy. However, he later explained to me that he added the 'discuss' there, so they could discuss things about it, and that it was a semi-serious vote. Though I'll need to construct solid evidence before I try to accuse you of being anything close to being mafia.

Saying Objection! doesnt make them real objections, it only makes your posts more annoying.

Actually, I did object to many things when I said 'objection', so I don't get how you don't consider them real. Also, saying that when I write 'objection' in my posts makes it annoying is purely subjective. Just saying.

Scum Vibes

Panthera: Just from seeing his posts and being defensive about getting voted, I'm getting a big scum vibe from him.

JamesClyde: Pretty much the same has Panthera, but a lower degree, except the fact he was shooting off questions at everyone.

That's my main scum vibes.

Brik and TOWK strike me as being townies, same with Terra, due to not showing much hostility and have been helping with trying to decipher who is mafia and town, or this other group.

So just from objecting to people's arguments against me makes me one of your top scum reads? And I find it weird that you don't suspect King Arthur or Ramsey at all.

@luk
How in the world do you think that Ramsey is town? I mean, you don't even give any reasoning for that.

List of reads, updated:
My reads: show
194:Seems more town to me. Has been helping the town a bit more. Null, leaning towards town.

King Arthur: Has been suspiciously lurking recently. Medium scum read.

Ramsey: Look at his posts. Strong scum read.

Brik: I don't know what to say now. Meh. Null, leaning towards town.

Lightning:Same as before.

TOWK: Meh. Looks a bit more townish to me now. Medium town read.

Dephius: Meh. Same as before.(medium town)

Blood: Stronger scum read on him, partly because he has failed to object to my argument against him. Medium scum read.

Terra: Meh. Same as before.(medium town)

kyuubit: Meh. Same as before.(slight town)

Bonsaitoad: Meh. Leaning more towards scum, mostly because of lurking. Slight scum read.

Felipe: Meh. I've seen his posts, and he's helped the town move further and further. Slight town read.

Mr. Shoop: Meh. Same as before.(medium scum)

Luk: Meh. Does not have proper reasoning to back up his reads. Null, leaning towards scum.

Thomas: Meh. Does not have proper reasoning to back up his read on me. Slight scum read.

Panthera: Has been lynched.

I won't be able to post much after this, because I am going back to school on Monday(GMT+8). So expect me to post about once a day.

I seriously cannot wait for you all to be proven wrong. You're all jumping to super ridiculous tangents to the point where it is legitimately humorous.

Ridiculous tangents?

If anything I have only been making accusations on people based on what they've posted in game, and even so did not jump to ridiculous conclusions on who my scumspects(that's scum suspects) were.

I'm not scared of any accusations against me. Just make sure you actually have the metaphorical meat on your posts.

Also, as we stated early, Ramsey has high chances of being mafia if Panthera is mafia. Quickhammering him its a really bad bus.

I was confident in quickhammering him because of my confidence to my town alignment and being able to prove it to you lot on D2 lol

Check previous posts for reasoning. Add quickhammering to that. Now do you know why I suspect you?

It's nice to see that someone gets it.

Check previous posts for reasoning on why quickhammering is bad for town. If you are town, quickhammering is never good.
