I would lynch:

- snickers, for srs this time.
(1) complains about getting hit with rvs, seems to care way too much about one or two votes. Not necessarily scum but a yellow flag at least.
(2) more importantly - I want to lynch him for this post, and the ones that follow it:



This and the follow-ups read to me like he's trying too hard to fit an image of what "TL townies play like". The emotion doesn't read as genuine to me, there's no reason for it. Instead it feels like he's trying to force an image.

A meat lynch would be okay with me atm, or at least preferable to no lynch. There's the thing et pointed out, plus I don't like that he called robik his "top town read" at a point when robik had made two posts - one a joke and one saying he was not reading the thread. I want to hear from meat - what motivated you to put robik as top?

But right now I'd rather lynch snickers.

Random thoughts in case I die. Warning, crappy logic inc:

Town:

Slam: I think Slam is town mostly from gut feeling / he seems to have genuine interest in trying to get town to talk. He could be a Mafia posing, which would not be too hard, but if he is scum we already lost.

I dunno:
Strongandbig: I’m pretty torn on SnB because he hasn’t done anything really suspicious and has helped organize votes and such, but something just feels off. I’ve played with SnB a few times iirc and I remember him being more active / organiz-y than this. However with such a slow game he can’t be solely blamed for that.

Tehpoof: My initial read on Tehpoof was that he was scummy based on his active lurking D1. What I mean by active lurking is he was definitely around, but was doing a lot of 1 liners early on, eventually settling on Robik which was a lynch that was never going to happen. However his D2 seemed pretty genuine in his questioning. Once again, it would not be hard for scum to fake this so I don’t consider him auto townie. Also, though Robik was against him, my impression was that the main reason he didn't like tehpoof was because tehpoof was going after Robik. OMGUS essentially. I don't think that tehpoof pushing Robik automatically makes him scummy, town make mistakes.

Scummy:
Chairman Ray – Looking back at his D1 play I still think the way he talked was scummy. Robik thought he was scum. A good lynch IMO.

Snickers – In his last game he had good reads but was abrasive about it. This game he is similarly abrasive but I don’t feel he has the same interest in formulating good reads. Another thing is our weird disagreements / his arguments with Robik. In my eyes there are two possibilities; Townie Snickers thinks about Mafia in a different way than I, so we simply don’t understand each other. Or, Scum Snickers jerks around town, using arguing with people as a way to be active without generating focused, useful content. His strange emotions coupled with what I think is less focused play than would be expected from town Snickers makes me think he is scum.

Cases look weak? Well I don’t have much to go off on. But if someone gave me two bullets to decide the game, I would shoot CR and Snickers.
