I'm conflicted about the grail too.
1) I don't know if I trust geript right now
2) I want the grail because I know I'm town and don't know anyone else's alignment 100%, but at the same time, I'm not confident in my reads right now.
3) While point 2 makes me think I might not be a good candidate for the grail, I think this point makes me an excellent candidate. I think because my reads aren't all that confident and solidified, I think I'll be alive for a long time. As games progress, my reads get better and better.
I encourage all of those reading me even remotely town to put your faith in me. I'm a huge pussy when I'm mafia, and I don't post and I don't express myself well. I assure you that if you put your faith in me, I will lead town to victory.

This post is really townie. It's not what he's saying, but it's the format of it.
Sloosh answers a question and gives his opinion. He takes a hard stance and then he asks questions. Yeah, this is easy to replicate, but it just gives me good feels

How many games have you seen people with good reads rather than good players die to mafia kills?
As mafia, do you target people who are right or people who are good?
Preferably both, but generally just people who are good. I know it's counter-intuitive, but good players have way more influence than shitty players and I feel like I can out talk and out convince a bad player if push comes to shove.
Not that it matters this game.

You started off tentatively then point 2 is pretty contradictory, point 3 a lotta "I think". and then the last part is really confident.
Not consistent man.
idgaf? It's how I feel about the game.

And what's wrong with "I think".
Thinking is scummy? lol

I like the majority of this post, until the red. I think it's still a town!ritoky post -- although i don't think i've seen a ritoky mafia game, but the last sentence still sucks because it's a shitty shitty conclusion to draw.

People town reading geript after this post are pretty bad at this game.

Fuck you for stealing my thunder. FUCKKKKKK. I hated your post about not having town reads, but i like your sylencia read and i like your ritoky read -- including the specific part I highlighted in my recent post, which apparently you noticed too.
Maybe you are town afterall.

Can someone explain to me why gobble is speaking for people all game instead of just waiting for people to explain themselves? Is this towny? I have NOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING CLUE how to read this behavior.

Is that the game where idiots lynched BH and then lynched MysteryMeat, cause they can't read into what's going on in a game? If you think I'm to blame for that, you're out of your fucking mind.

No -- he's saying he thinks that person x is trying to say _____.
Yes, it's a read, but it's not a read. It's not "i think he's town because i think he's doing such-and-such to generate conversation". He's just saying "I think that this person thinks this because he's doing that"

Not true. Sloosh is just mucking about asking weirdass questions that still hasnt lead to anything. How is him saying that nothing more can be discussed about setup and then encouraging discussion about setup a good thing??? Where am I cherry picking instead of not bothering to post irrelevant nonsense? Show nested quote +
I hate the fact he called sloosh and koshi scum without any reasoning - and still without explaining why he called it out in the first place.
Why is calling someone scum without reasoning objectively scummy? I explained it eventually. Do you disagree with my read on Koshi? gobble, what do you read someone like him?
Oats, are you a transplant or are you a Singapore native? Seems like you want to ask "how do you erad someone like him?"
I'm not making fun of you here...if english is your native tongue, then this is really scummy, because you wanted to ask a different question that started with what, but then you revised it at some point.

I'm actually inclined to think gobbleygook and sylencia more townish for their setup discussions. Explain the bolded. They gave bad advice and/or didn't read the setup and certainly didn't help finding mafia. Also explain how setup discussion is townish? If there was a way to break the setup this setup would not exist. You can't gain anything if you discuss the setup before D3. There are things you can do in this setup to gain an advantage that aren't necessarily breaking the setup. For instance, in Neat & Tidy you could have suggested possible vig shots, and it would be good advice even though it doesn't break anything. Same here - from what I see gobbleygook and Sylencia discussed how the town roles could be best used. Regardless of the objective quality of their plans, it's their efforts in trying to help town through setup means that I'm reading townish.

As for plans, you don't always need one but there are many successful and poor plans that have been discussed and used over the past several games. More than the actual plan itself, the planning stage is more important as a mechanism to get useful information about people that you would not otherwise see. After all, the main contributors to the plan this game (not surprisingly at all), were entirely innocent! In addition, several mafia stood out as trying to appear 'supportive' of the plan while not making any real contributions to it.
I'm not promoting setup talk in the sense of "hey I'm pretty sure there's a way to break this setup let's do that". But I'm not against setup talk in the sense of "oh I can get some reads on these people doing setup talk". Which is where my gobbleygook and Sylencia townish reads are stemming from - not that their thoughts help break the setup, but the way that they contribute their thoughts look like they are trying to help town. Now notice this. I've called these two people townish several times over now. Here's a good place for discussion. If you think these guys are scum, let us know! And don't just say "I think they are scum". Compile the posts that stick out the most and present them. If you want, to me specifically. That way I am put into a position where I am responsible for my stance. If you think I'm scum making up easy town reads, show that they should actually be scum reads and that I'm making up fluff.
Sloosh -- do me a favor -- STOP FUCKING TALKINGA BOUT SYLENCIA AND GOBBLE'S EARLY GAME. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE. MOVE THE FUCK ON

OK -- just filtered dove Oats real quick, because I thought I might catch him on something, but everything that he's posting/posted makes a lot of logical sense. He can be town.

It's crap. It's "easy" analysis and it's not even correct analysis. Both geript and I came to the same conclusion about it -- even though we arrived at it hours/pages/etc apart.

oats, I know you had a scum read on sloosh earlier, and possibly still do, but why didn't you question Koshi on why he thinks I'm town. I don't think anyone had town-read me at that point, and he was the first one to do so (and he's right in doing it), but I just don't quite see why you don't question him about that.
I hate posts like the one I'm making, because I do think you're town and I guess it's kinda pointless to question you if I think you're town, but just entertain me (and hopefully solidify that my read is correct)
