Giev me reeds. How can I read when I don't read? These are like, his only posts before I'd made my read. Neither of them are contributory or give any kind of read of anything. Like, I don't know what's so hard to understand. It's not what I expect from townPalmar. ♥♥♥ Toad, please help this man, he needs it. I must leave you now, but help him understand. Help him smite away his instincts and accept knowledge. sry I'm shopping for an hour for I must not starve

I'm beyond help at this point. one last attempt before going out: The two quotes you pulled out just recently are showing one point of your case. Points people might even agree with. Your second point however, that Palmar posts with the knowledge of your alignment, has not been shown yet. Palmar and I want you to quote that one post and tell us what about it proves his knowledge about your alignment. You somewhat dodged the question about point 2 because you just restarted your point 1, which noone had a problem with so far.

Can you compare my list to yours HTS and tell me where the differences are?
- Toad - town
- HTS - likely town
GB - likely town
- Palmar - null, maybe slightly town
VE - null, maybe slightly town
- Robik - null, I have no idea
- Onegu - null, a bit worse than robik though
- Eden1892 - slightly leaning mafia for now
liancourt - slightly leaning mafia
I know you don't agree with my read on GB. But what about the bottom part of my list? Especially considering that Eden and lian being mafia together makes no sense whatsoever I'd like to get some input on that.

VE has two votes in that.

Anyway I am back and I ?hope? of sound mind and judgment.
I feel like my liancourt read was still pretty coherent. Maybe not in execu-- no, definitely not in execution, but at least in the logic. Let me try to explain it with a little more clarity of mind.
My play style was different from both games he's seen from me, and I was mafia in one and town in the other. At the very least he's obscuring the truth by citing Imperial as the inspiration for his read without making any mention of the fact that my play is different from the time he saw me play mafiasided. I feel like a townie would make mention of this and try to give the other player a fair shake instead of simply going "different from this town game therefore mafia!" while ignoring the equally-important "different from this mafia game therefore ???"
I also kinda felt like it was a cheap shot trying this kind of obscurantist read while I wasn't quite at full mental capacity, but to be fair it's not his fault that I decided to try new alcohol right before he gave his reads. Idk maybe it's unfair to hold that to him, but I felt like it was more sinister than a misunderstanding or error. I agree in that liancourt feels like he is picking his target and once he has picked that he's writing something about them (because he has to) rather than going with the flow. It should be the other way around, you find something weird and you talk about it no matter who it is, especially early on into d1.
Is he usually the kind of guy that locks on his target and just goes at it?

though if he's tunneling he has confirmation bias by definition. If that's what he's doing it's likely he might ignore the parts you're blaming him for simply because he's certain you're mafia and looking at it only one way: Try to point out things that don't fit with your townmeta because you're mafia anyways
Both what you said and what I said come down to the same thing I feel. It could very well be malicious just the way I think locking on to just one target could be something malicious because that way he doesn't have to make up stuff about a lot of people and can just focus on one guy. But if he does tunnel a lot that's a moot point.

But if he does tunnel a lot that's a moot point. Nah, there's a key difference in what I'm observing - for him to start tunneling on someone he thinks is mafia he first has to have some reason for thinking it. If his initially-given reason for thinking I'm mafia doesn't actually make sense from a townie POV, it makes him significantly less likely to be town and tunneling. Let's say it's d2 and he had done this awesome vote count analysis and made a decent argument for me being mafia. Say I afk'd with my vote on an outlier. He gives his case, then votes me, never reconsiders and starts turning everything I say into something suspicious. He's tunneling on me, but his fundamental argument that began the tunnel is sensible, so he's probably town tunneling. In contrast, let's say it's d1 and he decided I'm mafia because I posted a picture of a puppy. (shit doesn't have to make sense just roll with it) He then never reconsiders and starting turning everything I say into something suspicious. He's tunneling again, but it starts to look a lot more like mafia tunneling to avoid having to engage the thread, because his original reason for suspecting me was bogus and he then starts adjusting his interpretations of everything I say to justify himself post-facto. Obviously he's somewhere in the middle, but as I argued before, I think he's closer to the puppy side than the awesome side of the spectrum. His reasoning outright ignored half of his (two) data points without explanation, which is something I think is more likely to come from mafia than from town. He then proceeds to tunnel and misinterpret what I'm saying. The tunneling can go either way but the ignoring of the data points to make his first read can't.
yes I agree with that and it is part of the reasoning I haven't unvoted him.

I'd like to hear that read from Palmar. It's already "tonight"

also unvoting lian. If he's actually a tunnelish guy pressuring isn't the way to get something from him and will only make him more stubborn

can someone restate the things that make GB mafia that don't boil down to "he's bad"? I don't care about him being wrong with what he does. I want to see why doing what's wrong is more beneficial for him as mafia than as a townie.
Because I still only see him as the easy mislynch to be honest.

Because I still only see him as the easy mislynch to be honest. His case on me is that I wasn't posting thus I'm mafia. I started posting. He continues to say I'm mafia for meta reasons, even though I've since broken that meta. Thus he's just making shit up and doesn't have any actual thoughts on analysis. Especially since all he does is talk about me. Additionally, he has made 4 posts today that amount to "i'm going afk be back later," which I find inherently scummy. first sentence: He is bad second+third sentence: well... that's him being bad because he told you about it if he really thinks that way  He shouldn't have done that. We'll have to see what he posts in the next couple hours. fourth+ sentence: he has only made 4 posts ever since (trusting you on this) so it's obvious there's not a lot of actualy thoughts on analysis.
how is "I'm going afk be back later" something inherently scummy? HTS has said something along those lines multiple times. I don't see you all over her (pun might be intended) I actually do that a lot as well depending on my mood, as all three alignments.

He's always annoyed at something.
That being said, I have to admit that while I did read GlowinBears spoilers I was too lazy to actually click the links inside the spoilers inside the spoilers (wtf...) and went just over it like "ya ya fine" most of the time. I re-read the case from HTS on page 14 though and like some of the points more now that I've checked the links as well. Gimme some time for that.

About your case. I actually quite like it and am considering GB a null at best right now... I don't care so much about your first point about him and your last point, but the second one about Onegu just commenting on the vote without trying to figure anything out when indeed he was confused and asked about wether it's a troll / mayor / lynch vote at just that time.
That could very well be painting someone red rather than trying to read someone.

the more I think about that one point, the more I like it actually. It is clearly showing mafia agenda, more so than any other case done so far, including my own reads that are all based on how people are interacting here because d1 is usually really hard to get some mafia agenda when noone has flipped yet.
I'd be voting him if I didn't want to make sure we get more time right now. There's still the lingering fear that he's bad and the easy mislynch but it makes me feel way better about this.
