100% town palmar based on damdred dead. You can't argue with science bitch.

I am only vaguely aware of rels' playstyle.
In general, the cases, including the one against me, he built during the night felt unforced and genuine. I have no idea how good he is at not just posting, but actually posting decently, as mafia, but I'm going to roll with it for now.
We can always lynch him later.
Do you think he should be a prime candidate to be lynched today? because if you don't, then why do you have a problem with me giving him a tentative pass?
A thing I notice when reading HtS is that she has no aggression and no "agenda". I honestly can't remember if I should think she's mafia for this, but I'll try to explain a bit better.
She spends a lot of time and effort "talking about things". She weighs in here, and gives an opinion there, but there is very little "this guy is totally mafia, let's murder him". She's more of a passive observer and commentator than an active participant and instigator.
Thing is though, I'm not entirely sure that makes her mafia, I think I recall her being a bit timid in general, but meh.
I am going to find the case against her and see what those guys who voted her said.

Wow you actually do have four pages of filter. Okay. But I do disagree with you viz you "being towny" enough. It's actually not. When you get mislynched its almost always 50% on the idiots who lynched you and 50% on you for being scummy town. That's a really important thing that lots of people forget as town.
I'm literally the goddamn prophet of "if you get lynched it's your own damn fault". That ties very well into what I was saying earlier about why I should never be vigged.
How the fuck did you get these links in 2 minutes.
I believe that you are moderately suspicious about Palmar, but I checked your filter again and I didn't see anything referencing your Palmar read recently. Can you please clarify?
I think that your case on DoYouHas does not show that he is mafia at all. I didn't think that you had any updated reasons, but I might have missed them. I've posted my thoughts about DoYouHas, based on your last post I'm assuming you still think he is mafia, why?
I'm going to go to bed now, I'll see your response in the morning. Unless I can't sleep, then I guess I'll be playing mafia straight to the lynch... ugh.
Palmar hasn't done anything to make me change my read. I obviously don't agree with your take on my case. I think in particular, his total apathy towards the lynch is scum indicative.
apathy and being unsure are two very, very different things
I don't know if I'm going to do much more today, it's weekend.
Based on reading HtS and NM yesterday, I'm going to leave my vote on her. I think it's the right call.
I won't be here at the deadline (or well... I won't be here from many hours before the deadline until tomorrow), so meh. I'll check my phone and such. If anyone wants my attention for something special just shout, I'll hopefully notice. I still think this is a reasonably good lynch. NM seems kinda towny and he's very sure about HtS, and her entire tone is very very bland as I talked about.
I am again more suspicious of fidei and trfel than I was previously, with NM moving into the probably town column. I actually read something FF wrote that made me think he's town too, but since I can't even remember what it was, it can't have been super significant. Still for now this is good enough. I have yet to read FF, DYH and I think some other people, but I'll have to do that during the night or tomorrow.
I'm not at home and I won't really be doing things until tomorrow. I just want to get it out there that without further reviewing my reads, I would vote for Fidei or trfel tomorrow. I actually think Fidei should be the primary lynch candidate.
It wasn't all bad, and of course sometimes you need to shoot for wifom, but as a rule of thumb, people tend to do it too often.
The rationale is very simple. It's much easier for people to stay on target than it is to step back and reassess. People are generally very biased to their own beliefs. Let's take an example:
Disfo is mafia. LS is town
Palmartown thinks LS is mafia Damdredtown thinks Disfo is mafia
If you make the wifom shot (Palmar) you're hoping the following happens:
Damdred steps back, realizes he's been wrong the entire time and Palmar must have gotten shot for being right on LS. Damdred changes his mind and starts thinking LS is mafia
If you make the simple shot (Damdred) you're hoping the following happens:
Palmar keeps tunneling LS without thinking too much about the NK
In general (of course this is very situation specific), you want to bet on people being stubborn and self-righteous. It is extremely difficult to recognize when you've been wrong and reassess, it's one of the hardest things to do in mafia. I don't blame anyone for sticking to their original beliefs when in doubt.
yeah I don't mean to come off as all lecture-y, I certainly didn't play well enough to act like it. However there are some things in mafia that are constant and will never change, so while breaking the norm is often a good idea, it's important to understand both that you are breaking the norm, and that the norm exists for a reason.
I find guidelines like these to be extremely helpful to my play as both factions. The thought process of: "I feel like I want to do X in this situation, but the convention says I should do Y. I better be damn sure X is the correct play because there must be a reason Y exists".

Very unusual for Palmar
It was weekend and I was hungover.
This year is the worst. Everyone is turning 30 so always party and I'm old.

I'm going to pretend no one is voting me or scumreading me and ignore you all because you've all proven you're bad. So what I'll do instead is at my own leisure, if I feel like it, drop some reads and hard hitting analysis in the thread that will probably go over your tiny heads anyway.
No more rage. I'm playing single player mafia now.

Not now, I seriously thought we were beyond starting games on weekends, it's dumb.
But later.

I haven't re-checked his filter to confirm that I was basing my townread on him on something good or just a thing.
I did point out to him that he was being like far less supertown than in the last game, but I'm not entirely sure that makes him scum because his history suggests that being useful is the anomaly rather than the rule with him.
