Currently I think Grackaroni is the best shot at being mafia. He didn't interact at all with anyone and just vanished from the thread, and it doesn't really make sense for him to be scared of an innocent child... unless he's mafia. I know it's not very strong but it's the best I see, anyone have any similar or different ideas? | ||

 Eversince, do you have any reads at this point? | ||

Does anyone find Eversince's reaction interesting? From posting fairly often and being active, once she started being under suspicion she changed her play and hasn't been present as much, didn't even respond to Shapelog or try and start a discussion with the new posters. | ||

Do you townread some of that group too, for not doing anything against town, or do you have things against them? | ||

My read on Eversince is currently very slightly town. I feel like her play is relaxed and fluid and comfortable, and in reading her meta her scum game (admittedly long ago) was very formulaic and a little forced. There are a few things that make me question, as I have pointed out, so it's currently a very slight townread, but more importantly I doubt I'll want to lynch Eversince day 1, there are much better and/or less active targets. I really don't know what to think about Shapelog but I'll take a more detailed look later today if I can. Promise. | ||

Short version:I am an idiot for buying a plane ticket for the wrong day and having to pay to move it, but I can play mafia while waiting for the flight. I liked the stuff on Shapelog. I don't really think raynpelikoneet is mafia because his play feels too calm to be mafia, though I concede he's better than I am so he could trick me. | ||

Kinda feels like he's keeping his reads open, lots of soft pushes. Like his soft suspicion on Shapelog (not gonna vote him now but I could vote for him later), and his read on me (Trfel) (post 198). Admittedly the latter is one of my habits, but along with the lack of townreads, it just feels like he is really, really keeping his options open. | ||

I'm going to try and focus on Pandain and Eywa-, I think it would be much easier to read Shapelog and KelsierSC once they come back and post a little more (which hopefully they will?), but those four are the four I am most suspicious of. Can talk for a little, then going to a game night. Sorry you can't sleep Eversince | ||

I'm suspicious of Shapelog but not super sold yet, I'm more convinced of Pandain currently by a decent margin. Mostly for the reasons Holyflare gave, though his early Day 1 I wasn't a huge fan of. He's been playing better lately but I don't think that outweighs the suspicion. | ||

I don't like how he backs down from his townread of Shapelog for seemingly no reason, his townread first sounds much stronger than his later explanation, coincidentally while Shapelog comes under suspicion.I could flop onto eversince That Eywa- waits for Holyflare to vote for raynpelikoneet before voting (I think anyway? on phone, double check this) or at least really starting his push on raynpelikoneet makes me feel like he's hiding behind Holyflare, like he looks great if raynpelikoneet flips mafia, and Holyflare gets the blame if he flips town. Definitely worth looking at D2 imo. | ||

Yes it would be a suboptimal play, but sometimes mafia messes up. You can judge the likelihood and look at my play as a whole, but I would never recommend treating someone as 100% confirmed town for that alone.I'm not sure that this is true, more like you can't trust logic over everything else. I'll keep an open mind but continue to presume that trfel is town unless I see something extremely convincing. That said if you lynch me first while Shapelog/KelsierSC/Pandain/Eywa- are all alive, I think I'd (rightfully) be a bit annoyed  | ||

I still think it's almost certain at least one of Shapelog/Koshi is mafia, and just the way the game is going on doesn't necessarily make me feel like there's an active mafia presence..

I've spent far to much time on Pandain and Ewya's actions are bothering me so much because they seem agenda driven. Shapelog is my current choice of lynch, I just think he's been suspicious and afk and he needs to go. Koshi and Pandain get a little more time if anything to make the game more interesting. | ||

Right now I'm most inclined to think Eywa- is town, moreso than Pandain. To choose between them. But I should look at both again. | ||

I also really didn't like how Pandain voted for Grackaroni after he claimed his role. That's just not a good play for town, there is no reason to push a claimed player, and I highly doubt Pandain wouldn't know this. I once pushed someone who claimed when I was mafia and I paid the price for it. Something else I'm wondering about Pandain, what made him gain more confidence in his scumread of KelsierSC Day 1? + Show Spoiler [Analysis] + On June 24 2019 23:44 Pandain wrote: I think Rayn is mafia with kelsier On June 25 2019 20:54 Pandain wrote: (emphasis mine)Unfortunately I don't have too many useful opinions. Rayn's reasoning is convoluted enough that's it's hard to understand (and thus make judgments on) his arguments. I think Slam would actually be a fine lynch, just because I don't have a lot of convidence in anyone and better to lynch someone completely noncontributive. I agree Grack's roleclaim makes no sense, and I doubt he's doctor, but I'm unsure whether that makes him VT or mafia. I'm still going to keep my vote on Kelsier because I don't like his responses. I have strong town reads on you (eversince) and jock.

Great news is that we lynch scum day 1 so mislynching me isn't a big deal. I'll just say that yeah I thought Slam was a decent lynch if we had no idea what to do, but I grew increasingly certain KSC was scum. And it still seemed unlikely to me especially later that with the votes this close a mafia would be lynched. And I think this is true, if even 2 mafia were active then it would have been easy to force another lynch. But yeah anyway sometimes in mafia you're wrong and you end up hard-defending the mafia with three minutes to go. What you gonna do To me, Pandain's increased suspicion of KelsierSC seems to come out of nowhere, it feels fabricated. His initial vote honestly feels like a pressure vote, then he seems to treat him not too differently from a random lynch. I just don't understand what would make him get increasingly more confident that KelsierSC was mafia over time, and more importantly I don't see that reflected in his posts, until after Alakaslam became the leading wagon.

So that leaves Shape/Kelsier/Eywa/Jock for last possible scum. Don't think the last two are scum, but it's possible. First two options are afkers so it's hard so it's basically a coin flip maybe between the two. Honestly though I haven't done a heavy enough analysis to choose which one I will definitely pick, so I will analyze all the four tomorrow hopefully. Honestly I don't know what to to think of this, it feels mafia-motivated, like he started to doubt and then followed the thread sentiment. But sometimes I feel like town is more likely to mess up like this rather than mafia, as mafia is more careful... Pandain, I'd definitely like to know what was going on with this post, if possible. Looking back on Pandain's filter, he really hasn't done that much work... He's been very active, probably the most active player in the game (particularly Night 1), but there hasn't been much real thought there. Mostly he's just been defending himself and explaining things again, often things that other players have been saying too. Admittedly there isn't much new information to analyze or much original thought to be had, but that doesn't entirely excuse him. All that to say I'm pretty suspicious of Pandain, which is nothing new, but if you wanted words, here are words. | ||

Raynpelikoneet scumread analysis On June 26 2019 00:50 Eywa- wrote: For Rayn, I feel like a lot of his early posts are somewhat non-committal. He wonders why I have random town reads, gives a couple random town reads, over justifies his town read on Eversince, then agrees on my scum reads conditionally (before I even responded to his previous concerns about my town reads). I mean, I don't have any one thing about his play I don't like, but it feels like a very cautious start from him. I also don't like the pun on the town claim. On June 26 2019 00:51 Eywa- wrote: That seems like quite a contradiction. He's saying that raynpelikoneet had a cautious start with a bunch of non-committal posts. I don't see this at all from raynpelikoneet's play: raynpelikoneet had some hard townreads early on, willing to defend them, which Eywa- even mentions. That's not non-committal, that's highly committed...The hard defense of Kelsier is also really weird. Really that's the only notable thing I see from Eywa-. Also, I noticed that Eywa- was not around for the lynch, and wasn't around for the Alakaslam wagon at all. This means he's effectively in the same group as Shapelog and KelsierSC as an inactive mafia who couldn't do anything to divert the lynch from Alakaslam. And I mentioned before how it felt like he (she?) was hiding behind Holyflare for the raynpelikoneet push. Honestly could see Pandain/Eywa- being the remaining two mafia. It would be nice to get more from Koshi and Shapelog, I would really appreciate more information to try and better read those slots. | ||

I'm still a bit hesitant about jockmcplop too. I would read him as town, but I was very confident he was town last game for his open, honest play, but he was mafia then and completely burned me. So I don't want to townread him here wrongly...

I don't think its a slam dunk but its definitely an interesting case. I can see a situation where someone doesn't apply a way of thinking that they are capable of, without having mafia motivations. That said, I don't really like shapelog's posting in general. Sort of pressured ES a little bit then dropped it, made that post about trfel and then went back on it later while still leaving room to go back to the suspicion if needed.

Voting for Shapelog would put Shapelog at three votes, and Alakaslam would still be lynched as he was at three votes first. Voting for raynpelikoneet only puts him at two votes, but there's a chance that he could get Holyflare to switch votes, which would give the raynpelikoneet wagon the best chance of saving Alakaslam. And there wasn't time to try pushing both raynpelikoneet and Shapelog. | ||
