I agree that Onegu and Trfel are almost certain to not be on the same mafia team. So if Trfel flips scum, Onegu is most likely clean and vice versa.
Trfel reminds me of Eden in the last game I played, except Eden's questioning was a lot more substantive imo. I need to go through Trfel's filter again, but I am warming to the idea of him possibly being Mafia.

I feel obligated not to press you further on this in the event I'm wrong and you're on to something.
But if I'm right and you're full of it, this is just giving you time to stall me out and avoid getting lynched.
If you're town you need to make a good faith effort to show me you're not full of it with this line of questioning. I read Tumblewood's filter and felt his suspicions of Shapelog were very consistent and understandable (though I disagree with them). This question looks very do-nothing, like a lot of your questions have been this game. And your flip in those posts I cited is really suspicious to me.
I'm trying to act in good faith and not screw up your play if you are town. Meet me halfway and give me a reason to believe you're not just hot air with this.

Onegu as a townie veteran would probably know better, and not encourage interpreting bad play as scummy.
Onegu as a Mafia veteran would have wanted to bandwagon Shapelog. Also, Onegu hardly puts forward any original arguments for Shapelog's guilt, instead he just reposts others'. This would allow him to not seem like scum if Shapelog was lynched and flipped Townie.
Could you explain what you mean by experienced veteran vs. townie veteran? Isn't a veteran by definition experienced? I'm not sure I get the point you're trying to make

Basically, I don't feel that Tumblewood actually cares about his scumreads. His filter seems to be contributing, but while it is contributing, it doesn't seem like he's scumhunting. He's always scumreading the top suspects, but not talking about them, either, which is probably the biggest example of this.

He's calling Onegu scum, the first sentence is describing Onegu's behavior and the next two sentences are comparing what Mex thinks Onegu would do as town/scum to what he's actually doing.
Just remove 'experienced' and read it again, it'll make sense. Took me a sec too when you asked.

I have been trying to discuss with players as much as possible, for mutual gain. And I've been trying to make sure things don't get too far off track, which hasn't been much of an issue I feel.
I don't want to judge people's abilities for leadership, in addition to that being premature, it serves no purpose.
If you don't feel that I'm invested, then whatever, I'll continue to play my game. However, every single one of my questions has a purpose. As for my lazy/inaccurate reads, I make mistakes a lot. I don't have time to check and make sure that all my reads are 100% confident. That's not really something that I could fix without dropping out of school.
I guess I'll post my reasoning on Tumblewood, give me a bit.

Also, I really do think that Tumblewood is town, but I would really appreciate him answering my question, since I could be wrong. I'm going to assume you meant this question:

I'm scumreading Shapelog because he's acted exactly how I would expect a newbie mafia player to act. First, he made direct, offhand allusions to his alignment ("Unless your scum team kills me") that were worded in a way that is very unnatural for a comment like that. More recently, he posted a comment that I found to be odd.

And one of them is about set up (which thank you btw Eden for taking the time to explain) I don't think that warrants a strong TR. Idk you have played with Eden b/4.

You can have a town read with few posts, and saying someone's trying to buddy in that situation is really off-putting. He also said many times that he wanted to filter dive certain people or that he wanted to revisit my case on him and never followed up.

It's been a little separated / disorganized, but he's said a lot of scummy things that people are overlooking.

Hold that thought Trfel, your boy's back. We can reconvene when you get done. Show me what you got.

Two questions for noon:
Can you explain or elaborate on why Trfel "looks solid to you"?
The post's in your filter that relate to Trfel go like this:

Secondly, if you have any amount of conviction for your scumread on me. Is it not in the towns interest that you air your concerns, so that the town can reevaluate me? Like if your read is more than a joke, or a vague sense of paranoia, shouldn't you try to sway town, since I seem to have a moderate impact on the towns direction (which would be quite bad for town if I was mafia).
That's gonna be my last post for today. I'm worried that this game might damage my productivity at work tomorrow though.
Also hopefully Shapelog will have answered my question by then.

Tumblewood
Tumblewood's first post here shows that he is scumreading Shapelog, and he says that this is because Shapelog made two posts where he said that he isn't scum. Tumblewood's argument is that because a townie wouldn't do this, then Shapelog is mafia. He also said that he had a scum lean of darthfoley because of two posts where darthfoley says that he is town, and adds that darthfoley has weird wording in a sentence (the explanation of the darthfoley read is here, where he says that this is the explanation for the scum lean he mentioned previously).
Why is Shapelog a stronger scumread than darthfoley? He didn't mention anything else about their play other than these comments, which is weird. Also note that Shapelog was the top suspect at this time.
Tumbleweed returned later and posted this post with new reads. He says that he's suspicious of Onegu, Shapelog, and Trfel. He also ends up with a null read on darthfoley, saying that he hasn't done anything to give him a read. This is really strange, because he described a scum lean on darthfoley previously, for the only reasoning that he's shared about Shapelog, who is still his scum read. There are lots of things I don't like about this post, I won't go into all of them, but it really gives the impression of trying to fit in.
He later says that darthfoley's play has been solid lately, which doesn't match with his earlier statement that darthfoley hadn't done much to be read on.
In addition to these read issues, Tumbleweed feels like he's responding to questions and thread sentiment, instead of actually wanting to solve the game.
Tumblewood explained his read on Shapelog at my request, you can see this explanation here. Here, he describes why he's continuing to scumread Shapelog. However, you can see that all of the posts he quoted are between his first and second longer posts. Note that in the first post, he discounted Shapelog's "strange" play as non alignment indicative, and in the second, he said that Shapelog was scummy because of his extremely scummy play early on (pre page 16). However, the posts that Tumblewood mentions were all after page 16. This explanation isn't possible.
Logically, Tumblewood cannot be scum. It's possible that he's town and messed up somehow, but given his filter as a whole, I think that he is scum.

I am here, Just got on. I found a dog in a trash can near my college and been running around seeing where it can receive help (it had a dislocated shoulder)
I am going to catch up. I see that Alur has questions so I will look at them.
|
DANG I post that whole thing and then I screw up scum and town in the last line T.T
The last line should read: "Logically, Tumblewood cannot be town. It's possible that he's town and messed up somehow, but given his filter as a whole, I think that he is scum".
Anyway, I need to leave for dinner very soon, so if you have any questions, ask them soon. I'll be back later tonight.
