Your Dream Soulmate
My soulmate wasn't who I expected. It's also the same for some people I know. 

All I can say is you don't find your soulmate, they just bump into you unexpectedly and sometimes its not the person with your dream soulmate traits you wanted.

Problem is those who slack off usually can just copy off from their classmates. I guess homework will help those who are studious but not everyone.

Best Way to Start a Convo with a person you don't know but wan't to and eventually be friends/gf
People should know that this won't work every time. There will be people who'll have different interests and you won't be able to talk about anything. If you start talking to them it'll lead to an awkward silence.

Banning Homework
I heard from my uncle who lives in Australia that in Australia some schools banned homeworks. It surprised me because here in the Philippines there's no talk of banning homework what so ever. 

Personally I hate doing homework and I wish there's a homework ban here too, lol.


Thoughts? Do you think homework is a good thing?

@ethang5
DDO has been buggy and spammed for years yet the community stayed, well some of it. Now when everybody has left Juggle is still doing minimal work to fix DDO. They had the chance to fix DDO a long time ago but now it's too late.

Maybe if Juggle fixed all the bugs then maybe it'll have a chance, but its a big maybe. If they ever did fix DDO fully, the potential of DA is just more intriguing and better than the shithole DDO once was, so I'll probably stick to DA if the community stays here with me.

Also, analyzing set-ups won't get shit done, it won't lynch scum. That's why analyzing set-ups is a favorite past time for scum. It makes them look useful. 

Yes, townies can do it too. When people go overboard with analyzing the set-up is when it becomes a scum tell.

You linked to him disagreeing Parrot was town. Where was the extreme repetition? Again, null
And RM's cop. 
But I do agree, there really wasn't much repetition, that's a mistake on my part, but the scum tell of repetitive destroying town reads still stands. 

Ok, so the question becomes, why didnt you focus on Virt and Smith then? Obviously they were doing exactly what you would think scum would do, and yet... you go after Harder.
Because I was sure at that time that Virt and Harder were scum together. And tbh, I was pretty tunnel visioned with the Virt-harder scum team. Smith was also buddying the f out of me, so subconsciously I town read him. 

Obviously even you dont actually think scum naturally will focus on set up. And i can point to multiple instances in this game of townies analyzing set-up. Set-up analysis isnt in itself a scum tell, its null. Its becomes a scum tell when that player starts acting as if that analysis is fact and/or that analysis doesnt quite jive with what they are trying to posit. For example, smithers saying a 7 player game would be best balanced by using 1 tp/ 1 mafia. When again, that doesnt make sense considering TP win cons had to be fundamentally altered to balance.
I don't see the problem with what I said. I do understand that townies too can analyze set-ups, but I think you misunderstood me when I said "Scum will focus on set-up". To clarify, I meant to say is 'When scum focus too much on set-up is a scum tell.', which Smith actually did. Just like overdoing questioning town reads and TP hunting, when someone focuses too much on the set-up it makes them look like they're analyzing the game. I remember Mikal doing this shit where he just analyzed the characters and roles during whole game, lol.

I do agree though, that acting as if your analysis is fact is indeed a scum slip.

@Buddamoose
no, XLAV, you have part of the blame because you trumped up a case on someone that was predicated upon null tells or possible scum teams without any concrete scum tells to hold both players as independently scummy. Again, just because you thought Virt wasn't Jester, doesnt automatically mean thinking he was Jester is scummy. A towny and mafia would be equally likely to argue against a lynch of someone they think might be jester, because, again, that means they lose.

Im just over here wondering how much longer you are going to keep operating as if it makes sense that players would operate against what is conducive to achieving their win con xD 

I never said I wasn't to blame. I even said I'd take the full blame for lynching harder 1st and not Virt. And I argued that the harder defense on virt was scummy was because I believed that harder and virt were mafia together. If I didn't think that, I'd look at the Jester defense as null too. 

Also I never said players will play against their wincon, but as scum there is a chance that they will 'slip'.

It was a bunk ass TR to begin with and Harder was right to point that out. Being a bodyguard, especially in a game where the mod specifically warned against role confirmation =/= affiliation confirmation is right to be pointed out. Not to mention, disagreeing with a read is something a town or mafia would be equally liable to do. A towny because they disagree with it, and if they do, arguing against it is arguing against what will in their view lead to a loss. Mafia would do so because they want to obfuscate and destroy TR's. ITS NULL
It's null if they only did it a few times. It's starts becoming a scum tell once they keep redoing it. This is one the scum tells I made that FT caught me way back. 


In a game where the possibility of TP's, particularly Jester was outright stated, TP paranoia is like, totally merited? Why the fuck would it not be? This is, again, a null tell. Both Mafia, and Town, in a game where it is outright stated TP's can be included, is not in itself, a scum tell. Maybe in combination with other more concrete scumtells, but so far none has been presented. Ergo, it has to be null
No it's not. Town needs to lynch scum, whether it be mafia or TP. They're all the same shit. Does it really matter if they're TP? Unless there's a special circumstance, no it doesn't. It's fine saying that there could be TP in the game, but when it starts becoming TP hunting, then that a scum tell. It's scum tell because it's one of the few ways mafia can act like they're genuinely scum hunting. 

He's trying to keep Virt alive because he thought he was Jester. If he is lynched, town loses, mafia loses. This is again, a null tell. Both mafia and town, would want to avoid lynching a jester, because it means they both lose. Seriously? This is some wtf shit
This was me assuming a harder-Virt mafia team. But I can see where you're coming from. 

Sure, but possible scum teams, only matter, if you have scum tells to back up that both may be scum. Or else you are throwing out unsubstantiated assumptions. This is exactly what it was, an unsubstantiated assumption, based upon things that are null tells. I mean jesus, i had to point out to XLAV in 1.1 endgame, that no, mafia are not going to focus on set-up, BECAUSE THEY KNOW MORE AND THAT WILL GIVE THEM AWAY AS MAFIA. 
But wait, didn't Virt and Smith just focused on set-up in DP2?

Scum will focus on set-up because it will make them look like they're analyzing the game, thus scum tell.So I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. 

Like, for real, thats assuming mafia will behave in a way that is unconducive to winning. Which is absurd to posit, because you play to win the game...
That's why they're called slips  for a reason.

Basically, what we have here, is absolute rubbish as a case. Plain and simply put. It was null tells trumped up as scum tells, because XLAV had a guilty on 1harder. This is quite obvious, because as was just illustrated, its not too hard to point out that every behavioral read, is predicated on null tells. And the only way null tells start looking scummy, is if there is something causing oneself to view them as scummy... like idk, maybe a guilty result? That definitely would create confirmation bias. 

and on the note of XLAV saying that wasn't what was happening here, sure buddy, you can say that, but your actions tell a wholly different story. 
I scum read 1harder not because of the result. I scum read him because of my analysis. Hell, I used my analysis on harder to see if I was a legit cop, which I thought I was after I felt confident on a harder lynch. The 'null tells' you're saying are null tells to you because you're the mod who already knows the affiliations of his players. That's confirmation bias.

I had a feeling you'd do 3 flavored cops. I didn't trust the feeling and thought I should be a legit cop after seeing RM was naive and result I got is similar with my read on harder, lol.

The mistake was lynching harder 1st. Virt was more scummy than harder, behavior and role claim wise. It's evident in the scum pile I showed Smith with Virt being on top.  Everyone got too paranoid with the Jester, but I'll take the blame for leading everyone to harder and not Virt 1st. 

Maybe in DP3 Harder's post would have been better, but who knows. Smith played very well by buddying the fuck out of me. It was pretty obvious that I was doing the majority of the scum hunting and I needed a 2nd opinion to help me.

RM is unreliable.
Grey just followed my reads.
Harder just lacked activity and analysis on his earlier posts.

I couldn't see anyone better but Smiths who sadly was scum.

I didn't think all the cops were going to be flavored. 

I figured RM was going to be naive, so I thought after two flavored cops I was going to be legit.

Tbh tho, the thing with Harder was really more behavior analysis than the cop result I got from him. 

But god damn, I'm so rusty, lol.
