His early scumreads of trfel and hapa were the main features of his early play and i felt the same for the similar reasons. If he wasn't agreeing with what i saying he was saying what i was thinking.

I did disagree about his read on you and pulled him up on it but his explanation made sense.

Why do you think hap didn't give a proper read of shockeyy, even though he's an important part of the game given that hap is voting for the person who is voting for him?

He says he sees shockeyy as lynchbait which infers that he townreads him but doesn't go into any more detail than that.

The question he asked to shockeyy at the start of the game also looks random af to be honest, especially with no follow up. It looks like he wants to get shockeyy talking, but he hates that i have a pressure vote on shockeyy later.

Hap, when you asked shockeyy what his mafia experience is is that because you wanted him to make some posts in the thread to help you read him? Do you have a read on him now? If so, what it is, if not, why are you lynching me for voting for shockeyy?

Actually it might be better to vote Rels over ShoCkeyy.

If Rels is town, his modkill costs us a lynch. If we mislynch and Rels is modkilled, it's 4v2 MYLO which is far from ideal.

If you are struggling for scumreads elsewhere then yeah that's a good idea.

For me though i'm getting this tinfoily feeling about hap/shockeyy and it would probably bug me voting elsewhere.

Can we agree beforehand that if Rels turns up super late with some bs excuse we lynch him always?

This game was filled really quickly so he can't argue that he just forgot about it.

I'm not sure what your current read on Trfel is Jock, but if it has changed, does your read on BC also stay the same? Because imo the reasons BC used were very generic and apply to a lot of players in this game but he only used them on Trfel.

On phone and in bed, so not going to quote you Jockmcplop, hope that's okay.

I don't care about Vivax townreading me because I don't care too much about townreads in general (especially at this stage in the game) and I thought I knew why he was townreading me (since he later explained why, it turns out I was only partially correct, ah well).

I don't really know how to respond to the rest of your post so let me know if I missed something. But it seems that a key point is my "case's" first point on raynpelikoneet. It's not that he has an implied read that is suspicious, it's that the implied/joke read changes. Townies usually approach mafia from two perspectives: treat everyone as town until there is reason to suspect otherwise, or treat everyone as suspicious until they show otherwise. Raynpelikoneet's posts don't fit in either mindset.

That said, if I'm being honest, it's not a strong point at all and we all know this. I'm saying it's the most suspicious thing at that point in the game. Why'd I bring it up then, so people like you have something to talk about! I'd say it worked perfectly


hmm...

i quite like this logic even if I don't agree.


This is the post that made me change my mind. There are many many ways to attack this post in case Jock wants to do that, especially since i don't do any of what Trfel says here. Furthermore even if i did, it's no way of comparing that narrative to my early posting because i posted a joke and a bait to you. No reads lol.


TBH the post jock quoted here (especially the bolded part) is a reason i have a scum read on trfel atm.



Why does the bolded part make Trfel mafia?


What does it add to the thread? How is it helping us progress towards catching someone who is scum? What point does explaining how the game should be played, in relation to a player whos playstyle is a known quantity, to justify a hard stance read this early in the game?

Like, I havent played seriously for years, but what he posted is shit mafia have done for ages to try and blend in. Talking about how one should or shouldn't play makes you look like you are providing useful content when its instead just fluff.
If you take into consideration how hard he also was defending himself / reacting to general suspicion so early into the game gives me the read I have.


There's plenty of fluff to go around in this game and it's a textbook algorithm from old meta where everyone was super tryhard.

That's why I have a hard time placing BC between 'bad' and scum. Don't want to call it bad because he might just be a tad rusty and less used to shitpost mafia where tonereads are more useful.

But then again he also says Trfel is trying to post it on his own to look like he's contributing when really he is just answering to Jock, which is just misrepresentation.

I'm not sure if you asked me this, but Shockeyy boils down to whether you believe he's scum doing nothing, or town doing nothing.

He deserves to be lynched, sure, but how can anyone have a 'proper' read on him?

Typically, a town mindset is "I think you are scum, therefore I will convince others to vote for you."

Let's say this is the case considering every player. How did you show this mindset in your first three posts of the game?


My posts have fundamentally different motivations than Jockey.

For one, I don't consider Shockey or Trefel scum-reads. I consider them lynchbait. There's something about their posting that triggers my "gut", and I'd rather try to engage with them early-game and/or think aloud in the thread a bit. Had the thread not kicked up while I was fast asleep, I probably would have continued trying to get them to talk a bit more and open up.

Jockey is instead directly scumreading Trefel.


This post triggers me massively.

I have spent the entire game trying to get both trfel and shockeyy talking. That, and talking to rayn, is basically all I have done.
I have been directly interacting with trfel for basically the entire game and my vote on shockeyy is an attempt to get him talking.

Scumreading people and picking out the faults in their posts is a fantastic way to get them talking and it generally works (it worked well with trfel).

This looks like hapa just grasping at straws trying to find 'original' ways to verbalise his convenient scum read of me.

-------

I'm getting less scummy feelings about trfel as the game goes on. He just feels more townie than he did at the beginning of the game
.



I haven't thought about my current read on BC.

Give me a 10 minutes i'll look through his filter.

The point you made about his algorithmic view is interesting though, it explains why he was so angry at my posting, I have no idea how you are supposed to play this game I just play it and do what i feel.

ehh... maybe

I just look at how hap has interacted/referred to shockeyy and it gives me the chills.

Hap refusing to answer my question above absolutely sucks and his answer to that would have helped me read him so i'm taking his refusal to answer as a sign that he is mafia.

There is a world (with how you are currently being active) where I could see my read on you being wrong. So please keep up the posting =)


I don't like the way he jumped on the jock train with everyone else but I can understand it if he sees my posts as objectively bad. I don't get why though.

He's moved you up to being a town read which is confusing. I don't see how your play has changed since he was leaning scum on you. Is he just following other people's reads?

The other changes seem natural to me, shockeyy down to null and rayn up to town lean.

Vivax, if you say there's an algorithmic way of thinking about mafia and you get where BC is coming from with that, would you say he is consistent about through day 1 so far? Surely that's a way we can get a read on him, but I'm not familiar with the idea.
