he's certain mafia though!






much fake progression! has a newbie town read on soren based on silly things he shouldn't be town read on (even though I pointed out that he shouldn't be town reading him) then gets mad that he's making newbie town mistakes (even if he's said he's played some mafia elsewhere the rng day 1 comment and that above quote should be more than enough reason to realise he's still just a newbie) and that reaction was so ott!

0 other people are mafia, this guy is 100% mafia! If the mafia team was 1 person it would be this guy! Seeing as the mafia team is 3(?) then he's 3x mafia

Why does your stance differ from the last time you commented on this?

Town claim (nsfw):

+ Show Spoiler +

it's a town claim because i'd never do it as mafia...or never have done it as mafia...and this time is no exception

Actually played some other game with friends instead of rereading the whole game, but while doing that at least for D1 start and Soren's filter I got a new impression of Soren, a mafiaish one I didn't notice at first read of D1 start. Anyway I'm not willing to give him a newbie BotD for the stuff to follow.

I'll try to make the case nice and formatted so you don't have to read everything, or everything at once to be convinced.

# Series 1

+ Show Spoiler +

So this series of posts gives me the feels that he's trying to make his posts appear more important than they actually are.

1. Him finding HF's post interesting is one example of that, but has no influence on his reads.
   
2. Him not liking GB writing that suggests he finds it dramatic, but it really isn't. He doesn't scumread GB at all afterwards.
   
3. Glowingbear makes a cool move in this regard and doesn't go into that comment about himself, instead challenges Soren on his HF post. All Soren thinks of is to ask him "why", even though he just claimed to not like his post. So pretty underwhelming post in the moment he has the chance to interact more with his suspect. Instead he takes a passive, defensive stance and limits himself to a question.
   
4. When CF asks him why it's interesting, he gives somewhat a satisfying answer at glance, so I'll just conclude that HF sits null. But that kinda makes the whole interesting thing uninteresting, so I have to guess that he just posted it for the sake of posting something and make it appear important in a stage where everyone else was waaaay less serious. Also he sees the vote on HF excessively serious, which is mafiaish on page 1.
   

# Series 2

+ Show Spoiler +

1. The first thing I think of when he says that "mafia wouldn't put so much spotlight on them" is him saying he doesn't like GB for saying he's mafia. Of the two between HF and GB, who do you think attempted harder to put the spotlight onto himself? Right. And who gets scum- and who gets townread? Right. In the later part of his post he focuses on the amount of n's and then invalidates his own reasoning by saying he might be reading too much into it. So that's sort of wishy washy and the n's are absolutely irrelevant.
   
2. GB pokes at him saying he finds him cute. Again just a passive response to the guy he claimed to not like, and who has challenged him twice already.
   
3. He asks a rather pointless question about HF's meta, although this is my opinion. It just fits into the general feeling that this guy doesn't manage to pay attention to the "right" things. Again he replies in a defensive way after being asked something.
   
4. Rayn asks him a good question, gets answered with some generic stuff
   

Tone readish I would say that this guy is stiff as a broomstick and never lashes out at people. And when people he should be lashing out to lash out at him, he takes on a defensive stance.

Enough tryharding for now. I think the next posts are how he complains about thread size, talks about mechanics. GB pokes at him again and gets another defensive response etc. Read my stuff then read him, it's not really much to read. If it doesn't convince you I'll go on with my impressions. If he's newb, he's mafia newb and not town newb in my opinion.

Said it during the game. No idea what he's thinking, given town reads and stopped votes on people for no reason (ie my gb vote)

VE is a likely scum in this game, there are several red flags that have popped out to me some of them are meta based and some of them come from the game itself.

Meta wise the thing that VE does more than anything is he town hunts early in the game from my experience. He finds his town circle or people he thinks are town and goes about the game using a rough form of POE to shape where he wants to lynch, and a good portion of the time this makes him look extremely towny and puts him in the middle of many discussions.

However if you read his filter here, you find that the only real town hunting he has done is town read rayn really early and not much else has been done in that regard, you see that he attacked MM early and it seemed to be sincere in that he wanted people to vote for him. That part is not alignment indicative granted, but past that point VE makes little attempt to interact with a lot of people and has little to no town reads in the game.

This brings me to VE list of possible scum and town reads that he has presented to us,



This is a very strange list, firstly Rayn has been townread since VEs second or third post and it is documented in the thread. A quick scan of VE filter you will find the only interaction that VE has had with Yamato has been to ask him to play league with him, and this is the first time that we see Yamato in his town circle never a mention of him before this or after this (besides the aforementioned league game).

This also brings us to tormented which is a interesting read, I have it myself for meta reasons but he has fallen off quite hard since then and i'm not so sure anymore. However VE has only had one interaction with tormented and that was to tell him to vote MM. Tormented has yet to comment back, VE has these unexplained town reads that make little to no sense in the context of his filter or the thread.

He is also not seeming to scum hunt past a certain point, he is voting Kel currently because of OMGUS and is admitted so. However he hasn't really tried to interact with people to try to figure out their alignments be it town or scum, he has this

To sum this up, VE is using a vastly different method in which he seems rather distant from the thread to figure out scum, his town reads are pretty much unexplained in the thread no reasoning is shown. Some of them are really strange, his scum reads show no real pressure put to them and VE is happy to just blend his vote in while not being called out for it.

He is most likely scum.

Nope, town. Your whole case is bad. I have reasoning for thinking yamato is town, I have reasoning for thinking Tormented is town, and I'm voting Kel because he disappeared after his case on me, not because he made a case on me. Nice try though bud. All of your points trashed in one succinct paragraph.
