I take that back damdred there's something about the evolution of his read on bunnies that bothers me.

Yes, his read evolution is weird. His town reading bats has me feeling uneasy, and his vote post talking about jumping on a hot wagon and lurking felt off.
so I think he has to be in the discussion

I lurked the thread on my phone when I could get service, and took down some notes: Show nested quote +Notes from last night: 1. The next person to suggest we ignore missions is getting full-on scumread. This topic keeps coming up, very sporadically, and it feels like a few people are trying to echo the idea across the crowd, so it's more acceptable later. Ignoring the mission concept is completely unacceptable and will only serve to hinder us. Stay vigilant for possible mission-like behaviors, everyone. I get the feeling that they would be rather out-of-the-ordinary missions, otherwise the host could have just as well run vanilla. (Sorry for the meta read there, but if anyone wants to refute that, I'm open to hear your case.)
2. Micchan is giving off a serious mafia vibe to me. Not only did his bandwagoning post seem forced ("Ok here whatever" as if he's trying to seem aloof) but the fact that his only other post yesterday was a defensive misdirection, posted only 20 minutes after he was called out. He's either really bad at this game, scum, too busy IRL to play, or any/all of the above.
3. Poofter's reads (specifically the BMK list) seem solid for the most part, but the way he posted and went after Micchan tells me something isn't right. Specifically, the way he's applying pressure to vote. The reads say town, but the pressure says mafia. Nobody on my town list so far has been pushing for a D1 lynch.
4. My posts usually do come across as apologetic. Not just here either. Blame my mother for giving birth within spitting distance of Canada. Anyone reading into that makes it on my scum list, since it looks like they're conjuring fault out of nothing.

Stepping up and trying to publicly read poofter as town based on nothing but troll posts gives me a bad feeling that there may even be a bus straight to LYLO going on under our noses. If you think bunnies' activities make her lynchable right now you should probably explain the posts she has made... Up until this post in the thread, bunnies' biggest contribution to the thread was to town claim for the person she's been buddying/bantering with throughout the whole thread. Suspicious? Yes. Lynchable? Not by itself.
I also particularly disliked the way bunnies was gathering information, going from defensive short-posts to prodding people for their reads and then replying to each one-by-one. Generally, townies are more willing to share their reads, instead of needing to base their perspective on other people's reads.
Today's bunnies is a bit different from yesterday's bunnies, in that she's laid out a list of her reads. No information or explanation, but at least she's sharing. I do like that.The read is silly because it was based entirely on meta. A person's meta can change from game to game. This read came from nothing tangible. For example, it would be impossible for me to have the same read on poof because I've never played with him. Since you and I have been exposed to the same information this game, you are using information I have not been exposed to to make a claim on someone else. That is absolutely 100% fishy, would you agree? As for my reads on poofter, see point 3 from my "last night's notes" above, and my list of reads below.

This was all the reasoning I could find in your filter, and it's pretty weak. So, how about it, mderg? Batsnacks: scum or town?
List of reads: MafiaObiWanShinobi (Very non-committal so far, easily switched vote from "troll vote" to batsnacks once it seemed like bat was being scumread. Hesitant to share information. Off-topic posts. Only real redeeming quality so far is calling out kush, very pro-town move.) mderg (Repeatedly pushing the "ignore the missions" idea, provoking reactions from players while not disclosing any information himself, heavy lurking, generally defensive) kushm4sta (Tunnel-vision on batsnacks, trying to start a plynch, low activity otherwise) Micchan (Inactivity, defensive, no thoughts shared, no case built, suspicious bandwagoning) Mafia-likely (Pink)TehPoofter (High voting pressure, starting a bandwagon/plynch, very large filter, calls people out on buddying while blatantly attempting to buddy, redeemed so far by good questioning of Templar's motives) Oatsmaster (Avoiding all talk about missions, redirecting scum claims towards bat and Obi, not posting thoughts openly) Neutral (White)The_Templar (Good expression and information-sharing, challenges unnatural ideas/thoughts, sensibly pieces together a motive. Neutral because of weak (meta/defensive) defense about his role) Vivax (Strange read on poofter, but otherwise constructs very sensible and well-put-together posts pointing out discrepancies. Without the pink vibe from his accusations toward kita and templar, would likely be very town atm.) Damdred (No real read yet, seems to be gathering information. Is asking the right questions, but not sharing information openly) 27ninjabunnies (Good info balanced out by suspicious buddying/claiming) Townbatsnacks (I wasn't sure at first, but after your expose on kita, I know you're looking in the right places. Your investigation is solid and you're providing direct responses to your challenges. I highly doubt kita is scum, but I like the way you think.) kitaman27 (The main source of information so far imo, this guy is posting very good reads and keeping good notes. Only scummy behavior so far is what was pointed out by Vivax, but without further proof I'm willing to let it slide as a poor choice of words) All in all, I don't like the idea of a plynch. However, I less like the idea of scum lurking the thread and hopping on whatever bandwagon is hot at the time. Let's change that. ##Vote: Micchan

So, the conversations here have been pretty interesting..
Seriously, batsnacks needs to die!
There's been like 4 or 5 times Obi has asked BS to give his read as to why there's one between me and him, and BS still has refused to answer.
Why are you avoiding it so much, Bat?
Also, Dam, how can you be reading me, Bat, and 3d as mafia when I've been pushing on Bat, and called 3d scum/neutral scum earlier?

This alone gives you the confidence that he must be scum?
Bats isn't exactly renowned for caring a lot about his image as town so I wouldn't put it past him that he simply didn't read it or doesn't care about answering, hence I need to see how this argument of yours shows that it must come from his scum mindset.
What do you think about 3d's weird opinion change on you that I displayed above?

For example something about me saying bsbsbs, then saying bsbsbs, while one of the posts was after I said something else yet he kinda displays it as if one came after the other while the order wasn't in that chronology.
I'm on the fence with him however, might be misguided townie but then I also see other stuff like:
"My meta is to do this every game and Vivax pushes me for it".
1. How am I supposed to know I never played with him. 2. From what I've gained from others he always rolled scum so why is it wrong to bring it up since apparently it's his scumm meta. Lol. Literally two of the posts are out of order and they're a few minutes apart, and about the same thing. The rest of that post, if you actually bothered to read any of it, is by topic, followed by the order in which the related posts came in.
Newbies don't have a meta in general, and I happened to start doing these "one long post near the beginning of the game" posts before I knew what I was doing. Yeah you probably didn't buy TL+ and look for my first game, but you can't seriously think I'm red for doing some things the same way…?
Since I made that post you've been making similarly trending posts.

His first post, I regret not putting more weight into it initially. Anyway I googled that shit and it's from some I ching or book of changes. So basically this guy, for no apparent reason decides to quote some pages from a book of some religion or fuck knows what.
His later play is super serious. I've read a little of bats in cell mini where he got mislynched, and well.. He started trolly, and he stayed trolly.
Here he starts trolly, and then goes tryhard. No explanation for his first post yet.
So maybe it was his mission to post that stuff and instead of slowly working his way up to a reason to post it, he just decided to jump into the cold water by posting it first and seeing what would happen.
All this stuff is a bit tinfoil I know, but... ONE explanation is better than none, and it doesn't sit right with me that it got skipped over so easily (which was also my fault). If bats was town, mafia would have tried to capitalize on it at some point, probably. Taking full town responsibility for not taking care of batsnacks. Ok… so based on that last point, batsnacks is red to you? Or white since some people voted and then unvoted him?

Templar, Vivax can base his reads off of meta because he has tons of first hand experience of playing with both of us.
They look like shitty reasons to you because we've never played together.

Mderg and Poofter can, and that's about it.
Kush can do so as well, but he's probably mafia so wharvez.

Templar feels like very tunnel visioned to me. However he has 6 pages of filter so far so I don't feel like he's one of the guys I would lynch any time soon.
I would be interested into knowing what his other options are however.

Wish I could think the same way, it's like I can't play a game without somebody trying to pull me into shitfights. Must have to do with the italian origins.

This post bothers me the most so far. Unless it's sarcasm, then disregard.
Why would an individual's meta be relevant at all? I understand the nature of certain people may not change much, but especially in a forum-based game, is it really so hard to believe that people would act differently from game to game?
Because to be honest, it does look like the shittiest reason. I don't like this read from Vivax at all. If you can challenge this view, I'd welcome you to do so. No hate, and I promise I'm reading. Keep in mind that people interpret things differently, and that's part of the fun of Mafia. What one person may not see in a post, someone else might.

He does have a point. To be honest, it looks like the way you started your wagon could have even been the point of a mission. Something like "be the only vote on a target" or "have X number of targets by EoD." I liked your reasoning on the kita case, but give me a reason to like it. Why not push your target, especially so close to deadline?
