There's a big difference between lurking in the beginning of the day and lurking after 4 people are voting you. I also found that wagon relatively unprovoked. And searching for patterns in data, by definition, requires finding data to support a claim, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
That makes no reason. Also for patterns, you can’t just ignore contradictory data, which you did. I provided games where the data contradicted your claim, rendering your claim null and void.
I find him suspicious behaviorally, while mechanically speaking, he's a null. Doctor could be a fakeclaim, or it might not. He's rolled doctor 2 times in the past few games though I think, so it would be a fakeclaim that he would be likely to try.
That’s your perogative.

Thing is, we have so many people that have claimed, do we need one more? First it was you, then barney, now Austin.
Barney hasn’t full claimed. I want to lynch Austin because of his opportunistic behavior I have highlighted. If he has role that makes me question my scumread of him, then so be it. But can you please pressure him with the fourth vote. He had no hesitation to do it to me, but now goes back and cries foul

I'm saying that you are certain it is Pie. So if you are town he is probably scum and vice versa. I'm also saying that if you are certain Pie is scum, me voting for Pie should clear me, in your eyes.
Your original premise is wrong. Theoretically we both could be town or we both could be scum as well. Former is called tunneling, latter is called bussing.

@JoeBob
How would you compare my play this game to my last game? This is a genuine question, not rhetorical.
Just as I predicted. You as confirmed townie gave a reason with any malintent, and he dodges claiming again. Please put him at 4 and make him full claim. He’s not going to claim otherwise.

Well let’s see. Barney is more aggressive then when he is scum, makes me think he is town. Whiteflame is playing the same way he did last game, when he was town. Those two are the only others than haven’t full claimed. Which leaves you.
Notice how he still doesn’t claim. Only scum have a hard time this game with claiming characters.

Good job completely dodging my point regarding the speed of the wagon. I didn't cherry-pick data, not sure why you keep pushing on that - finding evidence for a pattern is hardly cherry-picking. My townread on Barney was pretty weak, I even mentioned that "I townread him slightly". Failing to read the OP is a towntell but lurking for almost 24 hours was far scummier.
There’s only 3 people including me. The other two were on my wagon. Your wagon is not that big either. You found data to support your claim but disregarded other, contradictory data, which I pointed out. That’s by definition cherry picking. You did the same thing with Supa last game. As for Barney, now you scumread him for the reason I was pushing him in the first place, yet you still scumread me? That makes zero sense.
I find his behavior anti-town, but he's not my top scumread at the moment. I also think Doctor is a pretty easy fakeclaim considering few characters in the show that I know of have healing powers.
His character is a main character. So you have to think he’s faking that too. It looks like everyone is faking what they’re saying according to you.
I don't claim because scum is pressuring me, I claim because town is pressuring me. If Joebob, Barney, Vader, GP, and maybe whiteflame gives convincing reasons, then I will claim.
I’m not scum, Korea is likely not scum. So Savant is the only person who could be scum. You forget that my wagon had 4 people in a span of like 10 minutes. Your wagon is nothing. Furthermore, your statement here makes no sense. You said you don’t claim if scum is pressuring you, but then refer to Barney as town, who you scumread. Yet you state that they have to convince you and then you’re going to claim? Why the double standard between yourself and me?
You need to full claim now. You are purposely delaying.

A lot of behavioral reading has been done into Best.Korea, despite him being a known troll. How seriously does he take these games, and how much can we really gather from his behavior?
He’s either a policy lynch or we treat him like Greyparrot and ignore him for the most part

BK is blatantly wagon shopping. He's hopped on three different wagons so far with little reasoning behind it.

@AustinL0926
Lol 3 votes in 6 minutes from Pie, Savant, BK. I guarantee that at least two of them are scum, probably Pie + Savant/BK. Y'all are accusing the wagon on Pie of forming too quickly and then you go and pull this.
So BK is a scum doctor? Possible though unlikely with his character claim not being CCed.
Also your entire premise of going after me was manufactured. I clearly pointed that out. I character claimed and role claimed with hesitation because of your manufacturing. You even cherry picked data from Lunatic’s games to support your cause, which I pointed out. You also then say you want Barney’s claim after saying that you townread him for not reading the OP.

1. I think BK needs to be pressured. He has not had a singular correct point or even original point at all. He has buddied off the logic of a confirmed town player to try and prove his innocence and buddied solely on that fact alone over anything else. Hence I have a strong suspicion on him and I think town might be overlooking him
I agree with this. He’s also just phishing for information it seems
2. Until any further information is given, I think the POE of scum are BK, Austin, Barney, whiteflame, Savant. Greyparrot is a lean town because of his role claim and his character claim and I believe it would too difficult for him to try and fake claim something just as vague while also claiming a pretty relevant character off the rip without having a lot of balls. We know JoeBob is town. Since Pie has not been CC'd yet and remains un CC'd. I see no reason as to why he should be a lynch target. His behavior isn't deviated from what he plays when he is town. He's reluctant to claim a big character and gets forced into while also forced into role. I've seen Pie too many times and know Pie too well. Everything about the analysis and all that is not true because even Austin's original was debunked because there is NO consistency with how Lunatic makes his games and how goes about it. It's all a variation and too make these theory without consistency is an endless scope of nonsense that does nothing but distract town. I would also like to point that the OP says mafia where given a role hint and not a char hint. This means that Pie had to have the absolute balls to go and claim a main character off a role claim. I emphasize role because ROLE =/= CHAR. With only 1 character left and no fake claims. I do not see a realm of possibility of Pie being scum.
I agree with this as well.
3. I am against any push for claims at all in DP1 because it gives town way too much juice. I've stated this in my meta before. Barney was the town choice but not my optimal choice as well. It seems town is looking to do more and I will stand by this statement. If town try to pressure more and more people to claim characters, they will lose this game. The less info scum have, the more likely town are to win. It's unfortunate enough that Austin soft claimed an important character by saying that his wiki of his character had over 10k words, Mark Grayson being claimed, and that Grey's meta.
I think I disagree with this a little. Lynching is town’s greatest power. With a 7-2 split we can lynch 3 times on our terms. If we no lynch, then we can only lynch 2 times. POE is our greatest friend and we need to get the scum pool smaller on our terms.

I think you just have a gut read because of Pie strong behavior that can sometimes be overwhelming. Believe me, I fully get it. Pie is sometimes dense and can be very tunnel vision.

@Barney
Austin however is in my scum pile. It’s instinctive. He’s trying to tell a story which the facts do not align with, while not joining in the insane lynch (which scum players know is insane). It’s pushing for a mislynch, while building defense; and not being on the wagon itself. Could just be bad logic, but favorable odds that he’s scum. … of course this could change when I get caught up on reading tomorrow. Hence, no VTL from me. And if anyone has acted like he has but without tagging me, I’m cool with lynching them on principle (lynch all bastards).
After that post I’m confident that he’s phishing for information, which only scum have an incentive to do at this point. I’m fine lynching him this DP for blatant anti town conduct. The fact that he got a counter wagon on me in minutes clearly shows there’s at least one scum, most likely both on that wagon. I’m going to
Unvote

@Barney
Haven’t gotten caught up, but it looks like you’re leading the wagon on me… please explain your deep thought process for DEMANDING information from someone who is not logged in, but not tagging them to let them know about it when they log back on?Free kill on a townie who you know is frequently busy in real life, or anything actually useful to town?
You flew under the radar last game and there was only fluff being posted in game, so I took the initiative to lead a wagon to request a character claim from you, so you can’t fly under the radar as much. What happened was that Austin scumread me for that and led a counter wagon on me and forced me to full claim. Now he wants you to claim, which is odd considering he townread you along with a couple other people for not reading the OP.

I find it weird that the literal namesake of the series doesn't even get assigned an active role (Commuter is basically a combination of two passive roles, Bulletproof and Ascetic). It's also an easy claim to explain why you're not getting NKed, as well as explaining any failed investigations and whatnot. This was the exact reason why I fakeclaimed Ascetic in the last game.
Commuter can be activatable regardless of which of the three options I am. It’s basically a doctor that can’t be targeted when commuting.
Give your reads, preferably.
Gladly.

Well, after reading about that role, it says you cant be targeted by night actions when you use it?
Correct
So if Gp were to target you, he wouldnt be able to do it, correct?
Correct.

Both GreyParrot and JoeBob recommended getting a role from Pie over Barney, and they are confirmed town. Pie is probably innocent, but clearly not everyone on the wagon was scum.
Joe is the only confirmed townie. Greyparrot could still be scum theoretically. I want to pursue Best Korea, Austin, and Barney. I’m confident there’s 2 scum in there

Let’s look at The Stand Mafia:
The main protagonists were Stuart Redman, Nick Andros, and Larry Underwood. All were town.
Let’s look at TUF Villains Mafia:
Lots of main characters as town: Nate Diaz, Kamaru Usman
Let’s look at Dark Crystals Mafia:
I was a main protagonist Rian. Another protagonist in the game was Naia
So what Austin says amounts to cherry-picking at the best

Haven't seen how Lunatic mods games in the past, but maybe others can confirm this. If all of what Austin said is true, then Grayson is as likely to be a fake claim as a real one, if not more so. But that's still not a sufficient reason to lynch, imo.
It’s not true. Austin is using flawed logic. And even if what he says is true, Lunstic clearly isn’t a fan of mod psyche either
Created:
Posted in:

@AustinL0926
But that's the point, Lunatic as a mod has a history of not giving MCs to town.
That’s just false. I’ve pointed out “main characters” on town side. I just looked at the games you pointed out but I’ll go back further.
He's said in the past that he doesn't like excessive focus on thematic analysis, mod psyche, and other non-behavioral crap.
That’s fine, but he literally said protagonists vs antagonists here. You’re assuming Mark Grayson, the main protagonist, does not exist.
I think the info that he gave a fakeclaim hint to mafia is really important. Giving a hint only makes sense if it's a hint to a character that the mafia team would otherwise expect would be already taken. Mark Grayson is the definition of this.
He gave a hint to a ROLE not a CHARACTER. If he gave a hint towards a fake character, what’s the point of making it an open set up

@AustinL0926
Lunatic has a history of not giving protags and strong characters and town. E.g. in Stormlight Archives he gave arguably the two main characters, Kaladin and Jasnah, as fakeclaims. In MMA mafia he gave boxing and JJ for mafia, for Ozark he gave the entire flipping Byrde family.
Lots of flaws here:
1) You have to assume that he gave Mark Grayson as a fake claim. In the OP, Lunatic clearly says he gave a hint towards a role claim, not a character claim.
2) If he did give a character claim, what was the purpose of making it an open set up with all the characters.
3) Shallan Davar in Stormlight was a main character and was town. In that game he also gave 3 fake claims and it wasn’t an open setup.
4) In Ozark mafia, scum were literally the main characters. Town had quite a few main characters as well like Jacob Snell, Helen Parker, etc
5) In MMA mafia, he didn’t give any fake claims at all. And again it wasn’t an open set up. I was Muay Thai that game. There was Karate and Judo, both popular forms. Not to mention wrestling.
I don't believe that Lunatic would give the main character of Invincible to a town player because it would essentially clear them since people blindly believe thematic analysis.
Let’s say for instance that this is true. You would have to assume that I as scum would claim Mark Grayson, the main protagonist of the game. That’s just insane especially when it’s clear scum were not given a fake claim (which we know is something he has done before in MMA mafia)

Someone tell me, what was the point of making pie claim? We gained literally nothing valuable from that, other than his character which doesn’t help us at the moment.

As I alr mentioned, Pie pushed Barney for minimal reasons. Also "Let me ask you again: who’s behavior before I posted do you find suspicious and want to pursue. Otherwise, help pressure Barney" is a scummy af response to me pointing out that that.
I explained that it’s cause Barney lays low, and I don’t want that happening like last game. And I said the second part because we weren’t going anywhere
We're going to get a claim from someone. I want to get one from Pie first.
You don’t get to decide that. And it’s clear that based on how fast this wagon formed that there’s scum on it. There’s zero chance no scum are on the wagon and if you are town, you’re fueling it
I didn't sus anyone because up to that point was mostly fluffposting.
So you were just going to sit there and do nothing?
Tell me that you don't find this interaction extremely suspicious.
It’s not
Also, Pie pushing on inactives is out of his meta. He hasn't done that before.
I actually have a million times before. I’ve done it to Earth, WaterPhoenix, etc.. And yes, I did look at my previous games.
