It's interesting to me that LightningStrike trying for this goal while actually producing quite little content. He/She has many posts finding an excuse to not call someone scum and even goes so far to post:

Show nested quote +

Besides not making him/herself an easy townread based on emotions, he/she hasn't actually made any attempt to push content or force through content. I'd surmise that he/she is rather passive as scum. Not a bad lynch.

Short break to say that my two regrets in our last game were #1 not shooting Half the Sky (who was mafia) n1 as vigilante, and #2 not shooting LS (who was town). Seriously. Trying to read LS is like trying to make sense of the weather. Some days it just rains and it doesn't make sense why. You sense logic there, but it is concealed behind layers of nonsense.

Another break to say I literally can't believe we lynched boxerfred. I'm reading through his posts and agreeing with each of them.

I recognise that this is mostly my fault. But still. Seriously. Duuuuuudes.

I'm at page 15 and I have my scum team already. Just need to double check with reference to the last seven pages.

Okay, it took my whole lunch break, but I have read through the thread. I'll post my entire notes at the bottom, as I don't have time to fully post before I have to start working again.

The short is that I'm pretty sure Tumbleweed and Gossemerr are mafia.

MAFIA

Gossemerr's posts are pretty mediocre. I hate his read on Race at #287 and his last post at #390 was classic "let's see what happens". As far as I can see, he hasn't done anything useful.

Tumbleweed's entire filter can be summarised as follows: "this person might be mafia, but I'm not sure...". This is classic mafia play. It's so tentative, it's like me every time I try and kiss a girl on a third date.

My guess for third mafia is Artanis. I agree with everything Damdred said about Artanis being vocal and yet pointless at the same time. HOWEVER, I'm less sure on this because I'm not sure I see the value in a mafia Artanis leading a shennany on to me so late.

NULL BECAUSE TERRIBLE - WOULD LYNCH

3) Spikasaur

TOWN PILE

Race Bannon is town. Ride or die. His post at #208 was spot on viz boxer. His comment at #265 on Artanis was spot on. He's been active and I've agreed with most of what he's said.

DYH is town. He pressured newbies to post early [#180], and I loved his early read on Tumblewood.

I think CHODGE is probably also town as well.

I'm leaning town on Damdred and GB, but I'm much more certain about Damdred than GB. GB has pretty much just shit-posted / over-thought things. But a lot of people have been pushing him. Damdred mod-confirmed me (accurately!) plus I feel the townie vibes generally.

LIGHTNING STRIKE PILE

At this point I have demonstrated that I can't even read LS when I'm scum. He and I speak totally different mafia languages. I would definitely vote to lynch him, but I say that every game and I always think I'm right on it.

====================================================

The Newblood
1) Race Bannon
#208 early town read on boxer from a newbie, when lots of other people posting, this guy is 100% town
#265 comments on Artanis' activity *pops champagne cork*
#294 this is so close to the bone, it has to be townie

2) Kuragari42
Is this guy playing?
#398 doesn't like lynches

3) Spikasaur
#204-#205 "hello"
#214 All filler no killer.
#390 switches to me for literally zero reason

4) Gossemerr
#287 read on Race Bannon. Hmmmm. reasoning is okay but something not quite right about it.
#350 okay prevarication read
#433 this is garbage "let's see what happens"

5) Fidei86 hehe

6) DoYouHas
I like him pressuring Newbies to post. [#180]
I like his read on Tumblewood (which I apparently missed in my first read through)

The Slightly old Blood

7) LightningStrike
#211 Lots of pressuring.
#264 town on CHodge, and I think this is townie

8) Artanis[xp]
This guy is mafia with Tumblewood [#260]
And his early vote on GB is garbage.
Starts shennanies on me. Why? I'm confused.

9) Damdred
#284 I think this is town Damdred. Also I think he switched off me because he knew my obvious town tells.
#298 pings artanis, likes racer, pings GB. Town.

10) boxerfred
RIP

11) CHodge
#217-#219 wtf. LS and RaceBannon lynches? And Tumblewood?
#242 this town read on Goss is garbage but also towny.
Tons of reads early.
#251 This scum read on GB makes a ton of sense.

12) Tumblewood
#193 Gathering reactions a good thing?
#197 AHHHHH over analysis, leading into a dead-end of nothingness without conclusions.
#253 Town points to CH for reads, but no reads himself
#291 more null reads *yawn*
#349 okay town points for this not being sure, reads more genuine

13) GlowingBear
#313 anyone scum reading BF gets mafia points, but I think this is more just GB overthinking things.

I reserve the right to change these mostly terrible town reads at any time. Except my Race read. That one I'm like 99% on.

I really want to hear from everyone who wasn't on either me, boxerfred or GB at the end though. Town was way too fractured.

That's Goss, Ch and Racer.

Damn you racer, this is the only black mark against your otherwise impeccable town credentials.

One more thing. I'm not "mod confirmed". My last post after the EOD post was literally a few fractions of a second late. I wouldn't have been mod-killed either way.

Hey!
Rather than prodding a semi-inactive, why not give your thoughts on the WOTs I just posted. I call you out for being Mafia. I'd expect you to have at least something to say on it!

Re Artanis, yeah my very first read was basically as a result of his EOD actions. Which were townie. But I thought his pre-EOD stuff, when I read it, was highly suspect.

Glad to hear I'm wrong on you though.

Also you can totally pressure whoever you like whenever. It's just weird that you would scroll past literally an entire page worth of posting from me to randomly pick on someone who posted one unfulfilled promise ages ago. I find it weird anyway.

Please now give us your reads btw. If I see one more "oh I'm not sure" post from you then I'm voting you and never moving.

Tumble - re it being townie for reconsidering, the context is key. All through D1 you're like "lol, maybe?" On everyone. That's scummy. But reconsidering / ruling people out late is typically more townie than scummy. Which is what confuses me about you and Art.

Also this world where Goss has me and you as town, you have him and me as scum and I have you as scum and him as town is weird.

Hey Tumble why do you have such a strong read on Fidei? - I agree that he is not cleared, but it seems like you are reading him strongly scum through only disagreeing with his analysis?

This especially since you agreed with at least some of my reads.

Hey GB, I'm on the Artanis wagon just as much as you are, but I'm struggling to see why he would lead shennanys onto me at the last minute. That urge to change something up is something I always get as town and that I never get as Mafia.
