As for ES it absolutely sucks that I'm the only person not scumreading her because if she is scum people will accuse me and if she isn't people will accuse me but there's not much I can do when the case against her isn't strong.

I don't think Eversince is mafia. I'm just not yet sure who O want to lynch.

Jockmcplop, thanks for the explanation. That helps me understand better.

Actually, sorry, something is still bugging me...

ok trfel

I tried to explain my thought process in the posts, but I can explain further.

I don't like deciding who to vote for immediately and just sticking to it no matter what else happens. The post I was replying to there was like "We need to figure out who to vote for". I was pointing out that we don't, its still the first half of day 1 so there's no need at that point.

Then pandain makes some dodgy looking posts and vote with basically no reasoning behind it, so I questioned him but he disappeared so I voted for him. When I asked him to come back and be more townie its because I want him to come back and be more townie, then I will remove my vote from him (which I will also do if someone else starts being very mafia).

Its a pressure vote. It sucks that I have to explain this to you and you can't read between the lines.

I'm sorry I just don't quite get this answer. First, the bolded portion isn't true. The bolded portion happened before the events in the previous paragraph, not after. I would understand if the progression happened as you describe, but that is NOT what actually happened.

And the red, about it being a pressure vote... Does this:

I need to figure who to vote for. I'd be fine with Conv for reasons I already said. Grack would be ok but rather not, if he's town he'll start playing. Or we just lynch into lurkers. Which is also trash.


Lynching lurkers isn't always trash.
I personally don't see the rush to figure out a vote right now. I guess we all play differently but I'd rather wait until near the deadline to gather as much as possible first.


Usually I do too. Which might happen again but I'll need to go back to sleep sometime tonight. I don't want to wake up tomorrow with 10-15 extra pages to try to read with 15 minutes, decide and make a vote. I'd rather talk while people are about.


Fair enough.
What do you think of Pandain?
Immediately reversing his only read is a little suspicious and 'I changed my perspective' is a very opaque answer as to what happened. It kinda it makes it impossible to progress a conversation about what exactly pandain is thinking. Not being open about your thought process is mafia motivated at this point, especially when something like his trfel read debacle sticks out so obviously in the thread.

His vote on you also seems like he's forcing something, trying to be first to vote for some reason.
I can see mafia motivation everywhere with this guy already.

I know I said I didn't need to vote early, but this really jumped out at me. Pandain come back and be more town for me, I don't like having such a strong scumread so early lol.
Look like a pressure vote? You even call it a strong scumread. Maybe we have different definitions of a pressure vote, maybe I am wrong, but regardless it appears to me to be a legitimate scumread of Pandain and that seems to be clearly what you are saying here.

@Shapelog, what are you cooking?

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?
Also, @Grackaroni, it's one thing to be suspicious of someone, it's another to be willing to lynch them. To me being willing to lynch them is way, way stronger, like I'd be happy if they were dead right now. I even said in my post last game "I know it's not very strong."

Also, Grackaroni, this is literally the only thing you've mentioned that you are suspicious about me. Really, this is it? Yet you are voting for me?

Especially when Grackaroni is townreading the current leading wagon, Eversince, for tone, the same read I've talked about at great length.

Does anyone else find this suspicious? Because I certainly do.

That's something i can possibly understand.

Idk if my explanation is clear enoguh.
I'm not sure if I fully understand what you are getting at but I'll try...

Last game I noticed a difference in Eversince's play to her last mafia game, but I wasn't sure if the difference was caused by a change in alignment or the passage of time, so I didn't think much of it. Then it became clear she was town, leading me to believe that the change in alignment is the primary reason for the posting style difference mentioned previously. Yes, this is an assumption, but I think it's an okay assumption because other reasons also support the townread.

In this game, Eversince's play is like her town game last game and different from her mafia game. And moreso, the difference is in a way that is harder to replicate as mafia. I know for me and many others, posting as mafia is difficult, and as a result the posts feel rigid, forced, and dry. Posts tend to be a little longer, more focused and less carefree and spontaneous. This contrast is how I was able to townread Tumblewood early on in a previous game and that townread nearly managed to win the game.


Going to remove my townread on Trfels. The bolded phrase seems very definitive and certain that ES is town.

Trfels, what do you think about the fact that ES's last mafia game was 4 years ago and she could be playing extremely differently than her previous game?

I know my first mafia game this year was completely different than how I used to play mafia back in 2013.
Sorry, but what does the bolded section have in relevance to this? It was poorly worded, but what it meant was "after Day 1 when Eversince was obviously town/endgame when alignments were revealed".

To answer your question, her mafia game is different from her town play in a way that is difficult to replicate. Some people, a lot of people really, have trouble posting as mafia and have trouble fitting in. As a result, their posts feel more dry and formal, and socially they are more withdrawn; they focus on reads and pushes without truly getting involved or engaging much. It's not as simple as posting more, it's learning to socially engage and interact in a meaningful and relaxed way as mafia, which is really hard to learn and is unlikely to randomly change, even over time (especially without practice). Am I making sense?


Oh I'm a bad reader. I thought you were talking about this game.

[b]@Pandain[b], I really don't get this progression. Help me understand? You were townreading me, then you went to a slight townread, then you downgraded to null. Sure, whatever. What I don't get is that to explain the slight townread changing to a null, you quoted this post and bolded a phrase, shown above. And then when that turned out to be not what you thought it was, you just left it. So help me explain, how did the quote in question affect your read on me, and when it turned out to be irrelevant why did your read not adjust?

But I do like Pandain's post about Grackaroni. So I'm hesitant on him currently.

Yes it looks like a pressure vote.
When I say

Pandain come back and be more town for me


Its because i'm pressuring him to come back and answer questions and make me think he's town.
A pressure vote and a scum read aren't mutually exclusive, especially that early in the game. I had a scum read on him, which felt strong because he hadn't posted much and all of his posts were suspicious, and i was pressuring him to come and help me see that he's town by answering a question.

I also don't get what this ridiculous semantic nitpicking has to do with the game. Even if any of the misinterpretations you're offering were true, how on earth would that make me mafia?

As for this:

I'm sorry I just don't quite get this answer. First, the bolded portion isn't true. The bolded portion happened before the events in the previous paragraph, not after. I would understand if the progression happened as you describe, but that is NOT what actually happened.


It doesn't really matter either way does it?
I've explained myself anyway if you want to keep nitpicking tiny details in the hope that it somehow makes me mafia have at it.

Thanks for explaining, I understand about the pressure vote.

I'm sorry you feel I am nitpicking and being annoying, that isn't my intention. I only questioned two things, I just wanted to make sure your answers were truthful. To me it's significant if someone tries to falsify information to justify their reads and make themselves look better, even if it's over a little thing. If I am wrong please feel free to correct me, but I have quadruple checked it and am pretty sure I am right. I'll let it drop because it's the only thing out of an otherwise decent filter, I'm sorry I'm just trying to understand.

Jockmcplop/Holyflare/other, any thoughts on Grackaroni? Especially given my post above? Seems inconsistent to me that he would townread Eversince but scumread me for basically no reason.

Sorry trfel I'm grumpy cos my housemates are making so much fucking noise in the room next door and I want to sleep at before work GODDAMN THEM.

You might be a bit right that it looks like i got the order of events wrong, but i don't think i was really contradicting my logic. Its about the difference in context between "We need to figure out who to lynch fast" and me voting for pandain to get him to answer a question i wanted answering about his vote.

Your point would be better if I had tried to start a wagon on Pandain or really tried to get people to lynch him, which I haven't (I have asked a couple of people for opinions on him, that's all)

I've skimmed grack's filter trfel and besides wanting to lynch you for no apparent reason (that I can see) I don't think it looks like mafia grack.
He didn't exactly townread ES, he just gave her a pass for now if i'm reading it right.

I have absolutely no reason to townread him either yet though.

Grack stop being useless! I've given you so much room this game but everyone wants to kill for that crap. You've really giving me no reason to think your scum yet but I'm die because of 'loose reads'!

Also if you don't start posting super town soon I'm have to re-evaluate myself because you made your yourself obvious town last game. Where is it here?

Town is getting mislynched and Grack read my is a reason why. Please do something! Because I spent so much time and effort into defending saying you would do stuff. Show it already.. I post about Conv.. nothing I post about Ewya.. nothing.. I post about Pandain.. nothing. Are you just mafia letting town die? Because I wanted to let you off for your meta but this is just bologna.!
