That ended up longer than I planned it to be but yeah. I'm probably going to look at some meta now. In particular, I saw that Xatalos was very... cheerful? and I'd like to see if that corresponds more to an alignment.

I really don't understand how Slam plays at all so I'm not sure. His most recent post at least mentioned that he didn't have scumreads and he was going to look harder for them, so that sounds good at least. He might just end up as PoE unless I feel like I can get a handle on his meta.

What do you think about ritoky?

Why do you think that?

You think Hopeless is town too, correct?

Meta is hard, I don't think I got much from ritoky's at all but maybe that's just because he hasn't posted enough yet. He's usually really trolly as town, but he does it a bit too as mafia and there was a town game here where he was pretty serious anyway so I don't think it says much.

This was from his mafia game here though:

hijole! cabron!

and he used the same picture here so I think that's pretty much a slam dunk case.

I don't think Vivax is mafia.

I think Xatalos has some questionable parts of his filter and I agree with gumshoe to an extent.

I do not think gumshoe is mafia very often (given his play this game).

I think marv has changed how he plays (quite obviously). Don't know what to make of that quite yet.

I think rayn is leaning town but it's hard to say with not much having happened.

Most others are a big ?, including yourself.

tl;dr it's been 20 pages and 8 hours and no reads are confident.

Who would you lynch between if you had to pick right now?

Well, the reason for asking is because if everyone just sat back like you and did nothing, then you'd have nothing to talk about in 20 hours and we'd be nowhere.

For example, I feel like you wouldn't have made as big of a deal and gotten angry about this as mafia. So this conversation might have gotten us somewhere.

Alright yamato is off the lynch list for me. I have a hard time seeing him faking anger about getting scumread by people for this and I don't think he's just making up his reasoning there as mafia. Both of those last posts feel really town to me.

I was lampshadinf this idea.

There is no case in the post chroma made.

Also Rayn, you throwing your vote away is suspicious. You know I am unlynchable until Lylo, why are you parking your vote on LHF?

What do you mean with this post?

not really. i mean you could be right and it's mafia picking up on those things. But i also don't see why a townie might not either. I can't really tell why one scenario should be particularly more likely than the other. So... *shrug*

ritoky's pretty null for me basically

Alright, I can see how it could come from town. I would say it's more likely from mafia because it's a very easy thing to point out about a very easy person to jump on, whereas town would explain why they thought gumshoe's thought process was scummy instead of just giving a laundry list of "tells" like this:

Why?


poorly explained response, forced joke, clear post editing, extra lines at the end of post.

I'm not as confident in it now as I was, but I think it's still reasonable especially in combination with the fact that the rest of his posts are pure filler with no actual reads/town content.

on the other hand, i could tell you mafia are more likely to make hay and actually explain those things (which are quite easy to do) so that they have a nice looking post. I'd say mafia are more prone to overexplanation, no? :>

I agree to an extent. I think mafia are likely to explain tells in a general way (what ritoky did) , but applying them to specific people is much harder because that's when you have to explain how their town actions were motivated by a mafia thought process.

I don't really see why GB is mafia for that read rather than it just being a bad read.

but he applied it to a specific person.

are you telling me you struggled to understand what those tells were relating to in gumshoe's post(s)?


Here's the quote in question:

Clear post editing? I agree he's felt a bit "forced" with his entrance.


at start of game mafia more likely to re-read and edit their post than town is. town more prone to be natural. the lines at the end, the changes between capitalizing and not capitalizing, and some other aspects shows he read and edited the post.

He's giving a textbook definition of the tell and then saying that gumshoe did that, rather than talking about why that makes him mafia.

Scum do X, player A did X, therefore A is scum - easy for mafia to point out
player A did X and the mafia reasoning behind A doing this thing in this context... - harder

Do you see what I'm saying? Maybe I'm wrong and it's just a difference in post style but I think the first one is much easier for mafia to do.

I mean your slam dunk doesn't dunk me or prove anything about ritoky's alignment

I don't see how it would dunk you in any way..? Are you talking about the post with the picture where I said "slam dunk" or the long post I made?

I like this post a lot, I get a strong town feeling from this.

My theory right now is that mafia have been inactive in the thread so far. It's probably wrong but I have townreads/feelings on the people that have been posting thoughts a lot.

I think I'm in the middle of a full 180 on Xatalos, just fair warning. Not sure why I didn't notice it the first few times around.

i am pretty sure we have three mafia there.

I like this list a lot. I would have Hopeless on there too though.

On ritoky, he didn't actually make an RNG argument at all. He just posted filter links (means nothing), and then said BH usually talks about RNG as town (which I would argue isn't even supported by those links, one mafia game is a cell game and another BH replaced in). And then he doesn't even come to a read on you. It's not a town thought process, it's useless filler.

Here's a better question imo: do you really think that BH would have a problem arguing the benefits of RNG lynch as mafia?

He wouldn't have any problem doing that at all, given that he's done the exact same thing many times before and RNG lynch is by definition completely independent of BH's alignment.
