#144 - Setup speculation #159 - Setup speculation #188 - Vivax -> Moosy clarification: Read unknown #276 - tictock -> ExO_ clarification: Read unknown #278 - Interesting Slam comment (indicative of NK/Slam team). DF comment. Vote Disfo. ykl suggestive pressure. No true position taken (as liking Koshi vote can be similar to liking ykl pressure) #280 - Critiquing grammer #337 - Confirms that conversion is being ignored. Intentionally dodging ykl (of relevance, as later NK states ykl is good target for pressure. This should then present a fantastic opportunity to counter-pressure) #339 - Does not take position on mcosta or tictock. Just states that mocsta logic is poor. #340 - curious about slam. Odd phrasing. Trying to draw out information (one of the first posts from NK trying to do this) - the question is for what purpose. #341 - Indicates agreement abotu Ex0 not reading the thread (or likely to be town) #343 - Arguing actions in theory, with no comment on players at hand. Trys to sway HF into a disagreement with tictock #344 - Comprehension question #361 - Is arguing logic, without indicating a lean towards any player in question #591 - Takes position that DF is leaning town #592 - Filler #595 - Debate logic. States Exo actions are indicative of town play; but at no points declare Ex0 town #603 - Requests conversion to build a case against him #604 - Wants to target lurkers and inexpereinced players to divulge motive.
LOL. now that I have filter dived scrap that request
##Vote: n00bking
Talks about present issues like ExO_, but rarely sharing own position on read
Wants lurkers and new players to be pressured, but no where in filter gets hands dirty
Argues heavily in favour of ExO, without declaring ExO town at any point.. At not point is demonstrating consideration for whether ExO / HF / tictock is T v T or T v S.
Does not seem to consider Conversion is scum. Merely wasting time regardless of being earnest or genuine.
NK is playing filler this cycle, while chastising other players for being illogical. Classic scum maintaining activity by shitting on others to avoid posting real content.
P.S.NK known for wordplay.. pay attention to end of day posts with moosy/prplhz last game. If NK flips scum, slam is almost certainly scum

Here's a strategic decision that would be informed on D2 by knowing how many mafia the game started with: WHO TO LYNCH. If you know how many members of the mafia there are, you know how many kills they can execute. Then you can see if any are "missing." If you don't know how many to expect, then a healer doesn't know whether to have added trust toward the target he healed. A roleblocker or jailkeeper doesn't know whether to have added suspicion toward their own target. Circumstantial evidence yielded by the night results will very often outweigh whatever inclinations players previously had, about who "seemed" town and who "seemed" scummy. Instead of the pure guessing game of Day 1, you have hard data to work with...IF you know how many mafia members there are. So it's CRITICAL information. Unfortunately, the OP doesn't even give us a RANGE of possible answers. There's literally nothing keeping this from being an 11/9 setup at this point. Or 19/1.
And this is the beauty of smashboards.
They play blue way better than we do folks.
Listen, how did I know Noobking was scum?
PASSIVE VOICE. But passive even for him.
We usually are all very active voices, but his is more often passive. We are very much gone readers here.
BUT HE IS HELLUVA LOT LESS PASSIVE. Consider that before lynching him.

As if I'm null while you simultaneously scum read noobking.
Perhaps its the ply of your toilet paper, but you havent tickled me yet in the way a town HF normally tickles me.
I realise I don't know how a scum!HF tickles, but I have certainly seen the town tickle across the games this year. Until I see a bit more of that magic around the game, you are still in my null pile.

Know this. Im vig, and if you arent lynched Day1. You still wont be around Day2.
Sson if you’re actually vig, do you not also expect to get shot yourself? Cmon.
But hey if you are maybe it’s a worthwhile trade to you. Nice thing here is we don’t rely on blue roles.

I still think he's just mafia though. The last big post to me is re-stating exo nothingness, big post here is talking about mechanics. Don't know who he scum reads (apparently slam now (that "I saw it and then rsoultin did" post looks really unlikely)) because he never states it.
Whole lot of semantics really
HF troll smashboards with me? They have some good players though. They’ll see us pretty quick

Responding to that chatter is only satisfying NK agenda to avoid having to scum-hunt. NK says "disfo/ykl are good targets to pressure" but at no points applies, said pressure.
My question for you is why arent you voting NK.
Chester Campbell is still around, but he's only necessary for some people in the thread

I like that post, and while plan is "different". Its certainly not what I would consider scummy.
I think you can refine the concept better by applying a stricter filter when determining "mafia trying to get you." Of the 6 in your pool; the only TWO who said you were scummy is ExO_ and HF. Annoying or frustrated does not equate to scum.
As townies, we only have our vote, so I will respect this plans of yours. However, I would appreciate if you could respect me back and share your (updated) opinion of n00bking.
Sure. I'll even throw in an explanation for Alakaslam.
Noobking/Slam didn't respond to my bait at the start. The reason why they're there is from tone reads.
Slam's tone reads forced to me and completely different from the last game I played with him. A lot of people already picked up on this.
Noobking goes from setup to picking at what other people are saying which is exactly what he did when I was scum with him last game. The only way I see him being town is because he hasn't really used excessive OMGUS arguments so far. So I would be fine with sheeping a wagon on him.
False.
Since I know what actually happened,
##Vote: rsoultin
I have realized she knows better.
She has shadowed me in games and has played with me in many more.

This does make me feel a little better about HF because I see where he's coming from, though. It's a far cry from the rants of last game, but the focus of his posts generally feels wrong.
Also idk his first post asking how many mafia there are really rubs me the wrong way. What strategic desicions could knowing that help inform on D1/D2? (as he amends after being questioned). It's almost like a really forced attempt at a dumbtell or something. Not the strongest evidence, I know, but coupled with the rest, I'm fine with a NK lynch.
Everything else rsoultin said came down to "tone". I don't know, I don't buy it. This rsoultin is very wishy washy and not the town-driving rsoultin I'd expect.
While I'm at it just general other reads from what little I've seen throughout the day via phone
HF - Town Mocsta - Town
NK - Scummy
Because she knew that was her strongest influence; she is mid level influential but has extra regarding me because she is brave enough to even try reading me- and finds the appropriate enjoyment in it.
So as scum, she knows no one will really fact check her claim and she has a rather good probability of lemming raining me to lynch.
If it happens I’ll be very vocal about it somewhere. And this town will deserve to lose.

I'll consolidate onto disform, only for the reason I have a nagging memory of someone explaining his scum play and feeling like it fits it. I'd have to meta dive for that, but that's annoying.
I don't think ykl is scum for whatever reason alakabanana slamma jamma man said. and I don't think anyone else being voted is scum. besides disform.
Had a few people call out this idea and have to agree with them. We really don't need to consolidate onto dis right now if you have a good read
vivax and hf called it out, yeh im not a big fan, not sure what this accomplishes.
Then again conversion has come back and qualified the statement. So just have to see what he comes back with.
I like rsoultin calling out slam a lot and pushing that vote. pretty good list post. nothing to write home about but still a solid list
----
Dis list post and follow up - I have specific questions which I will ask in a seperate post
---
apparently I made df cry, I I will attempt to be nicer. I disagree with what you said on rayn and rsoul. I can't blame you for being confused about my dis vote because I was tilted and shit posting. You do seem to just be parroting sentiment on noobking, have you had original thought? Still have you as scummy but i'm not building a case right now.
FF has rsoultin posting a lot? It's way down on what you would expect and vivax called out rsoultin for not posting enough. I'm not liking ff tbh
----
I'd probably have a lynch pool of
dis,exo,noob,slam,ff, df and moosy
does sicklucker not post d1 anymore?
obviously i need to narrow the list down but i'm good with that pool right now. I can't remember why i asked ticktock a question so hold on

yeh it's not good. I don't know what it means alignment wise. I feel that if you're town you just have fun as town whereas if you rolled mafia the second time in 3 games and you wanted to make things fun fun yourself/hide you would make a persona. I can't say it makes him town or mafia but if I had to pick I would say it is more scum sided.
In terms of actual bad stuff. He liked a post that exo had made which wasn't that good.

Chester is keeping a wary eye out for any bad hombres
gives the impression that he doesn't really care who his town circle is and just wants to throw some names out. I'd lynch him and not just to stop the terrible RP.
So Kelscier makes some post about me and how he doesn't want to build a case on me when he's been using any reason to scum read me. Chester actually agrees with n00bking that KSC scumreading Chester Campbell is just silly and excuse for a scum read.
Also him claiming that I have no original reads is factually inaccurate and just another excuse to throw shade at Chester Campbell. I'm one of the few people who isn't okay with rsoultin (btw did I just realize your name is "our sultan?") and Rayn.
Btw we should ban Rels for a couple games until he decides to play d1 again. Tired of this shit every game

Step 2) rsoul then makes almost the exact same observation.
Step 3) I ask rsoul if she can elaborate on the difference between his play in the two games, so that I can tell if there's any sort of real substantiation that I can investigate, or if she's stuck in the same boat I am (with nothing better to explain the difference than "feelz.") Unfortunately it sounded like she's stuck in the same boat I am.

Okay...soo....if people aren't going to get your slam read, then what keeps your vote on him from being wasted?
Let's say we did get additional votes on Alakaslam. Is his reaction to the added pressure likely to help you further a read on him? Or give you anything you CAN use to convince others? Or would he just post more youtube videos, regardless of alignment, and everyone shrugs and says they can't get a read on him because he's not doing anything?
Hers is the opinion on that question that I am the most interested in, partly because she's the player voting against him, but also because I think it's fair to say that she has posed herself as something of an "Alakaslam whisperer" over the past two games.
Nevertheless, I would gladly hear opinions on that from anyone. Can you expect alignment-indicative reactions when he is pressured, or do you simply have to make a decision of "lynch him or not" because all you're ever going to get is more youtube videos?
#2 - Moosy
His game-opening tactic is one I've seen him use as Town before (so I let him go ahead and do it) but as I've said, I think it hasn't yielded much of anything he can use, this time.
You can put me on the "save Moosy for later" train. Partly because he's committed at least six rules violations so far, and if he keeps doing it, he'll just get himself mod-killed. And also because I seriously doubt his ability to keep me in uncertainty about his alignment for the long-term. I disagree that he's a good N1 vig target, because he will usually respond to posts, regardless of alignment. You may sometimes get trolling, obstinance, or uncooperativeness, but you'll get answers to your questions. He'll (eventually) take positions, make and move votes, explain his motivations, etc. And when you start seeing flips, you can gain a lot of context on which team he's playing for. Can't say any of that about someone like Fecalfeast or Alakaslam (so far).
#3 - Exo vs Kelsier
I think this was a big fat nothing. While it was going on, I just kept waiting for Kelsier to realize it was mostly just a misunderstanding, and move on to something else. This doesn't guarantee it was "T vs T" but I think that's likely. Nothing in the posts from either player has really made me uneasy. Hopefully whenever raynpelikoneet returns, we'll get some thoughts on things that have happened SINCE that exchange, as it was the focus of a lot of his filter.
#4 - Darthfoley
Obviously glad to be seeing less Chester Campbell, as the game goes on. Continue to think invoking the character is on the townier side of null. The HARDCORE waffling on Exo looks like a reasonable thought progression to me, and I like that it ends up in the place I feel like it ought to. So, no interest in making DF a lynch target at this time.
Aughthp.
Yeah you hit the nail on the point XD

DISFO Not sure why anyone would think he is scum (ignoring that ExO early post) Open tone, involved, contributing to more topic than just OMGUS. Heavily reminds me of when he replaced into a recent game.
Kelsier Again, not seeing how anyone could think is scum. #184 is such a townie-type regurgitation of active thought. I think has been quite transparent Aggression has been consistent, which is certainly more townie given the contextual frustration of ExO comprehension. #395 I think is already super townie-type regurgitation of active thought. Instead of just bitching about darthfoley roleplay; he actually highlights a content problem (also tied in with ExO which totally makes sense as an active connection).
