If I was a mod and he was scum I would honestly warn him to not out his whole team that blatantly

Like poker (have previously played for a living prior to black friday). If you play just based on the easily tangible math you will lose. You need to look for behavioral clues and apply those or the scum will use an exploitive strategy to win. For example when playing poker if I have a 90% chance of winning based on pure math but my opponent just went all in and he has suddenly developed a genuine tremble in his hands and his voice cracks, then I will lose all my money by calling him. His behavioral clues let me know that the tangible math of 90% is wrong and that my true math is somewhere close to zero%, though it could be considerably higher given his ability to actually know what a monster hand looks like for example.
There was a thing I used to do some poker sessions to make sure that I was actually looking at behavioral tells. I would either cover the cards on my computer screen with a sticky note to prevent seeing my own cards or in live play refuse to look at my hand though pretending to. Those were usually winning sessions by the way and I learned from them.
We aren't machines. Exploitive play is going to give you the highest ROI in games where you are not out of your depth.
I have played against people who have attempted to use pure math. They lose. The game is too complicated for that. In mafia the game is even more abstract then poker. Using pure math is a losing strategy and exploitive play is ideal.
I still use math when I play poker don't get me wrong but I apply it to abstract things. Like my opponent typically raises full pot in this spot when he has a top pair hand to protect his top pair. My math will determine that a scare card will most likely come next and I can bluff him off his hand so I will likely call in that spot.
I am not saying don't use math, but do your best to apply it to more abstract things. I think you may have some unique insight into psychology if your profile is honest,so you should have an advantage of k owing peoples psychology. Don't throw away that advantage by not playing in an exploitive way.

It is almost impossible to be 100% certain of anything in this game. We have to go with the odds. I still think that lynch could have been avoided if pressF was a little less evasive with his answers and quicker with them

Noob scum tend to lean on the I'm new excuse too hard and milk that,so that is why I think it would be increased odds of scumminess if he has a little experience

Did BMd play on DDO? If he played more than 2 games I am willing to lynch

Never mind. I think I confused him with another player in the game who. aspires to be a lawter

CC is full of hubris, so he has odd pet theories and then backs them up with unwarranted confidence. I wouldn't overthink it. I do worry it will make him a terrible lawyer though. Seems like something g the typical prosecutor would do, which is why even in this day an age false convictions still happen

I don't understand what speedrace was thinking there. Even with the explanation. Perhaps I am dumb, curious but won't pursue further.

@Cogent_Cognizer
Actually that is a legitimate line of questioning by CC. I want that further explained as well.

I think at the very least it is enough to ask for a full claim and for him to reveal his team mates if he doesn't want lynched.

First time trying the gambit that I can recall, but honestly I tend to scum read people who are illogical. Maybe wrongfully so. The logic of the move is pretty obvious and airtight so you failing to see it seems phony to me. Particularly since you seem reasonably I intelligent to me, so you failing to understand that logic is baffling. Also why do you always so heavily focus on post 11 on every thread you enter https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/2531/celebrity-mafia-endgame?page=1&post_number=15

By the way. Without the info bsh1 was privy to, it read as a bus to me as well.

@Mharman
Fair point. But it did add to the case for Cogent and Disc being town.
No it didn't. It is possible to have multiple scum in a dream. They were just as mathematically likely to be town before the dream as after

I have more respect for mharman than to think he made pineapple a town character

Also I am town confirmed. I would not pull that move as scum. That is thinking 6 levels deep and would make your heads explode.

This is 5 level deep thinking. Get on board if you want to know why people like me are almost undefeated in real strategy games

@Discipulus_Didicit
That is retarded. It should play out as follows if town has 3 digit IQs. I claim pineapple. Town ignores this. Scum thinking king they can get a lynch on a town with plausible deniability CCs. Everyone has a 3 digit IQ so they lynch the one who CCed

Also an honest CC will not draw suspicion normally unless you actually did it as pineapple

Quick tip for scum do not fall into DDs bullshit. It is fine to draw suspicion towards yourself to meet your objectives. You can figure out how to bullshit yourself out of a situation later

@Discipulus_Didicit
They can't randomly CC because when somebody flips it will expose them as scum. Doing a real CC gives them plausible deniability. You can't be so dense you don't understand this.

@Discipulus_Didicit
Okay I am bacon and pineapple is definitely scum and yes scum will CC that thinking it would be an easy town lynch with plausible deniability. It would almost be stupid not to CC. Which makes it the perfect trap you guys are messing up

@Speedrace
Calm down. I am not actually pineapple. I just said that to draw scum into counter claiming me, because clearly whoever has pineapple is scum

I did not intentionally appear scummy as some ridiculous strategy. The fact you are claiming to do that shit is bothersome. That sort of strategy is silly.

@Discipulus_Didicit
Exactly. I think he gave himself away as scum for that. Classic scum tellOkay the DP 1 thing may or may not have been a slip but it is blatantly obvious that he was joking this time. You taking it seriously in this way reads to me as scum looking for an easy mislynch.

If you are a member of town who silenced him, out yourself. Also stop using your tole for the rest of the game.

@Mharman
I don't know. I think their choice of an NK that narrows my scum pool so much was also silly. I know I try not to be domineering in the scum PM but I hate giving a shit about roles and I want to eliminate really pro town players instead

I am a perfectionist as well. I understand but my perfectionism is focused elsewhere. The perfectionism has harmed my personal and professional life immensely, ass well as helping me obtain success extremely quickly at everything I attempt
