Finished with Koshi's filter. His position in this game is mostly MARV IS A MILLION PERCENT MAFIA. This was a tactic I used in the very first game I played against my scumbuddy Shape. This is not Koshi's very first game, and I think that this level of tunneling (though he started to consider other possible scum later on) is not a scum tactic. I take it as him just being convinced by this one sign in marv's filter (hedging) and wanting very much to get him lynched. The intensity dying down I'd call scummy (mafia railing someone for a day or two and then laying off when no one takes to it), but he's still going for it a little. Town lean

Continued with Felkyr's filter. His D1 posting was very strong, and now that I read further so was the rest of it. Before the Damdred/TheCow scum flip, he said, "I am NOT against a TheCow lynch, but at the moment I still believe a Sentinel lynch is better. FF being here might change that." This is a good way for mafia to look fine when a scum partner flips but not make that flip happen. Overall, though, I think he's putting a lot of effort into his reads that I don't think would come from a newbie scum player. Town lean for Team Koshi

Reading Tictock's filter; liking it already for admitting he has no town reads. As scum, it's really easy to just make up a town read because you know exactly who they all are. Now that I've read all of it (except for pages 1 and 3, of course): He feels able to pressure other people without being pressured, which is probably NAI. Town lean

Queenfestor has a nice, 1-page filter. ahhh. I think it's weird that team Blah is just using TT as a representative to the thread. It would be an easy way to conceal a newbie scum, and town... might do it, but doesn't have much reason to. Null read for Team Blahvacado

Sandroba is very confident in what he sees. That's enough to warrant a strong town read on him IMO. He's being very direct and calling people out. Town read

If qob didn't have such a low number next to the word "posts" perhaps this read would be different, but I don't think newbie scum would commit so hard to his (multiple) reads. Town read for Team Innocent

Kush is probably town I guess. He looks just like the town kush I've seen in my last two games with him, but I can't say that he's proven himself in any way. For now, Town lean

Shapelog... I've played two games with him, one as town and the other as scum. He was spammy in both of them, and he's pretty spammy here. Someone once said to me, "you just have to look at the value of the stuff that isn't spam." That's BS, because even the things of value are one-liners scattered around the whole filter that don't do anything for me AHHH I hate reading filter. Basically, Shape has not established himself as anything to me, and generally I have no idea on Team Shapemasta

Fecalfeast is defending himself from what I assume was a wagon by... ignoring it? He's not doing very much to actually progress the game (i.e., giving half-decent or thought-out reads). Scum lean

So let me get this straight:

1. I'm scum and about to be lynched
2. To avoid this, I bus the shit out of my teammate
3. My teammate is now about to be lynched
4. To avoid this, he claims a role with a 25% chance of successfully avoiding CC
5. All of this works and JAT gets lynched instead

This is the sole reason I have for townreading Team Prolapse. It's sorta valid-- about equal to the lack of substance behind my FF read. I want to actually see the game play out for now. Null read on Team Prolapse

whoa whoa sentinel
"i'm not scum because my defense is bad and it's usually better as scum"

...

after some thought... maybe NAI because as town it's correct and as mafia it's just a shit defense of a shit defense

So Marv is already dead. And Tumble brings up a scum tatic form our game, were we scum read each other hard to avoid assoactivey. I do not understand why this factors in. I mean Marv. already fliped.... @Tumble can you clear this up?

Other than that i do not see much wrong with his koshi read.

Kita didn't update the player list, so I never saw flip. Knowing that now I think it was TvT.

So why doesn't everyone put which team they think is the most likely to be mafia in the thread?

Team Innocent - qob is acting like a standoffish prick this game, has been 'tunneled' if you can call it a tunnel on my team for bad reasons. He was called out for scumreading a joke post and vehemently denied that he had done such a thing rather than admit that he misunderstood the post, or simply hadn't read the list of teams. I think qob has shown that his main focus is not to find scum but to cause a disturbance in thread whenever he can.

Wow, qob, if your tactic was to make people irritated just by reading your filter it worked on me

It sounds to me like qob really irritates you, but I don't think that makes him mafia, just means that you're pissed off at him. The post you're talking about is old news, and if scum wanted to cause a disturbance in the thread there are much better ways than a read off of a joke vote.
Also, it's sometimes a newbie tendency to stick with what you've said, even if you don't still feel that way, so that you don't look bad. Qob has played mafia before, though, so that's likely not the case.

I see no way Felkoshi are scum. Felkyr, being a new player, is not going to have such strong reads unless they're real; if this is the product of koshi coaching, he wouldn't be teaching felkyr how to make these reads but how to pretend to be town. For me, it's between sand/qob and fefe/sent. I want to see some more development before I make a decision, but I'm very confident it's between those two teams.

More importantly I would rather lose to a VE that made me feel he is townie all game, than to an FF that I felt was scummy all game, never put any time into it, and I let slide for BS explanations.

This is not a justification. The important thing is not 'what will make you feel better if you're wrong' but 'which one is right'. And if VE has felt townie all game and fefe scummy, why are you even considering voting VE?
