All finished. I'll try to be as comprehensive as I can with this, so this may turn up pretty long by the time I'm done.

Townies:
Roundaboud
IamRobik
Thrawn
Vivax420

The first three should be self-explanatory and fairly non-controversial at this stage. All are active and clearly care about generating thread activity and pushing pro-town objectives. Thrawn is the least active of the bunch, but his early interaction with IamRobik is very townie, and is something he's done in past games. He frequently likes to draw attention onto himself in the early-game to start discussion (see his self-aware miller "claim" in Hero Mini Mafia - a game without self-aware millers), whereas his scum-games tend to be much more serious in tone (and lurky).

Vivax420 might require some explanation. Simply, his attitude towards me has been correct and very townie. This post is a prime example:


He understands that a player in my position (1 post in 24 hours, generally afk from the thread) is not worth wasting discussion on or worth wasting a lynch on. Wheras mafia are far more incentivized to try and push a lurker lynch here, and want to waste lynches on players like me.

After this, there's a very broad category of players I'm not quite sure about...

Null
Mattchew
Grackaroni
QuantumPope
Mattchew
Mordanis
sidesprang

I have slight town-reads on some of these players, but I'd rather not elaborate on them. Simply put, these weak town reads I feel would create more harm than good, and make players jump to conclusions. None of these players have much in their filters worth drawing conclusions from. The exception may be Grackaroni (as he's been active and chaotic in-thread), but I feel that I wouldn't be able to accurately read a player like him (spammy) without a full look at his meta.

I can elaborate if asked to do so, but I'd rather field questions about my scumreads:

Mafia
ShaioPi
JarJarDrinks

I would lynch ShaioPi for this post alone:


It was made on page 18 of the thread. Actual discussion was taking place, and it is far too late for joke votes. However it is clearly not a 100% serious vote.

The main problem I have with this post is that it's sole purpose is to antagonize, as opposed to do anything constructive. There is no purpose to this vote other than to insinuate a negative opinion of vivax/kush. Futhermore, this is very uncharacteristic for a town ShaioPi, who's generally a very polite and constructive player.

Combined with the uselessness of the rest of his filter, he's a very strong mafia read for me.

JarJarDrinks also made a very highly suspect post:


He first expresses a willingness to lynch me in the first part of his post. However, he them criticizes roundabound's case on me, saying that he's seen townies do what I do, and suggests it's not allignment indicative.

This post essentially shows that JarJar is willing to lynch a player for reasons *other* than that player being mafia - an incredibly mafia motivated mindset.

Then despite his criticism of roundabout's "case" on me, he posts this:


What he was calling non-alignment indicative before, he's now calling scummy for some really wierd speculative reasons. I find it hard to explain this change in mentality, and I think the most plausible explanation is that he forgot about his earlier push and is trying to push a lynch mindlessly.

Lastly, there's this string of two posts...



...which reads a lot like "meh, i'll lynch anyone."

This is what I meant when I said "JJD has done nothing except to say he wants to kill people for reasons that don't have anything to do with lynching mafia." His whole filter is like that. When he talks about who he;s ok with lynching he only talks about lurker policy, or in grack's case troll policy lynching. JJD doesn't care at all about finding and lynching mafia.

JarJar, can you please say if you are suspicious of anyone who isn't a lurker/troll?

Actually a serious question Mattchew; Do you even read what people's posts say and do you think why do they say what they do?
