Hi all Long time no see!

CopCake, I don't understand why you are townreading Jockmcplop so easily. Why couldn't he say that as mafia?

Not really, things just tend to be slow at the start of the game. I'm sure it will pick up once there are more relevant things to discuss in the thread.

Speaking of which, did you understand CopCake's townread of Jockmcplop? I mean I understand the words CopCake is saying, but I don't see why it makes Jockmcplop town at all. I see no reason he could not or would not say that as mafia.

Hi raynpelikoneet

I think you have made the worst entrance in the thread si far and therefore you are my top scumread. Do you have any thoughts about this?

Sorry, it's morning. I am mostly grumpy at mornings. Dont worry though, it'll get interesting. I personally joined this game mostly because i actually have to fogure out Vivax' alignment for once..
Haha, no worries, it's not your fault. I just fear this'll be another ~10 pages a day kind of game, and those can be pretty difficult to win...

Vivax I feel like isn't too tricky? He made several mistakes and was giving himself away towards the end of last game. There were always just too many other issues to really address it. But maybe that's to his credit, I don't understand how to disrupt the thread very well.

Awkward post
Can I ask why you find this post awkward? I don't really feel it's remarkable at all, maybe even ever so slightly townish because mafia would have little incentive to post given the lack of activity.

Likely falling asleep soon.

I have absolutely no useful thoughts. And there's a deadline tomorrow, how unfortunate

I'll be around filtering people for a bit but I will likely go to sleep soon.

I asked CopCake about her townread on Jockmcplop because she didn't say a key part of it, that Jockmcplop's post felt genuine/sincere. Without that statement, there is no actual reason to townread Jockmcplop. I know it wasn't likely to really go anywhere, but it's the start of the game, I'll jump on anything I can Just like raynpelikoneet's entrance. To me it was the worst entrance at that point in the thread, because he didn't interact with anyone despite several people having already posted. But it's not a big deal and I don't think much of it.

Frankly your filter is kinda awful, in fact you're my top scumread currently. You've posted so much but I have no idea what your reads are except for maybe a random, reason-less scumread of Vivax? So if Tictock is suspicious if you then that's fine by me!

Tictock has been explaining his reads, I see no real reason to suspect him yet.

Who should we lynch?
Of the people with votes, maybe CopCake?

I'm just having a ton of trouble finding mafia this game. I blame foremost my lack of effort, but secondly the lack of information/content to use.

CopCake seems like the most likely mafia from what I have read so far though.

Tfrl's "I have to sleep" two times consecutive promising reads or Vivax's saying my meta that then later apparently is irrelevant.

So far I think Jock/Jekaka/Tiktock should be in the never lynch forever.

Zey are you there?
Stuff like this. Not focusing on who is mafia, but just who is playing "badly." Being so confident in assuming people are mafia (specifically me, and I've barely posted). It's hard to articulate but it just feels false to me. It also doesn't feel like you care about getting your target lynched. Moreso than indecision, it feels like apathy, which I really don't like. In contrast to someone like Zey, who made only a few posts but does seem clearly invested in the lynch and cares about it.

I don't think Vivax is town, I just don't see any reason to call him mafia. I thought there were reasons for CopCake to be mafia, so I voted for her.

ShoCkeyy, what you're saying really doesn't make any sense at all to me. Yes I played in the Oil Futures mafia, but just because one of the lynch targets happened to be mafia there doesn't mean that they are here. That's very poor reasoning and I think you should know better than that.

I was half-joking, and did kinda think CopCake was town (though my mind quickly changed). I sometimes assume people are town until there is evidence to the contrary, as was the case here (after which I got to business). The post served its purpose of attracting attention and not lynching Vivax, though.

It does make sense cause I voted along with two mafia then which can be the case here again.

Good night btw
No, that really doesn't make sense at all. You were wrong last game, so you could be wrong here too. Sure, but that's not a reason at all?!? Yet you are saying it like it's foolproof.

Finished rereading the thread. Going to read some filters. I really don't like ShoCkeyy, I think Tictock is probably town, and possibly Jockmcplop, and maybe Vivax too.

Which is good thing because..?
Because I didn't see any reason to call Vivax mafia? I don't really get raynpelikoneet's case on Vivax. I mean, it makes sense and is logical, but I don't think it fits mafia motivation. Why would mafia be so uncooperative and lie about meta, what does it gain them?

The other thing about ShoCkeyy that I really don't like is how he keeps having reads that are different and disconnected, but then he says he has no reads because it's Day 1. But he called out three things (no quotes because I'm on mobile) (one was he said he was suspicious of Vivax, and no, not his opening joke "vote;" and two, he said he was suspicious of three people for being suspicious of him, I forgot #3 and don't feel like looking it up). So either he's joking, which it doesn't seem like, and this wouldn't match his having fun/disconnected persona. Or he doesn't actually care about his reads, which makes him likely mafia.

The thing that makes me doubt (other than ShoCkeyy being difficult to read, caveat that I've read him correctly as both alignments) is that he did seem to care who was lynched Day 1. That makes me more unsure and hesitant.

I could see raynpelikoneet being mafia too. Two main reasons. Firstly, his focus doesn't seem to match his scumreads. He posts a long post on why CopCake is suspicious and then votes for Vivax over something small, and then posts a mini case on me, and then still votes for Vivax.

And second, he doesn't feel very invested. He's been here and calling things out and it's logical and makes sense but he can do that as mafia, easily. But it doesn't feel like he really cares about what he's saying. He didn't clearly and concisely say why he thought Vivax was mafia until requested to, where if he really wanted Vivax lynched he could post a case on his own accord and actually push for that lynch. Before the flip raynpelikoneet didn't seem to care, and after he didn't seem to care either, only talking about Jockmcplop and not any of his other scumreads. I'm trying to not focus too hard on deadline stuff because apparently he needed to sleep but despite that he feels a bit disconnected and slightly apathetic to the game, despite being very present.

I think he plays in a similar way when he is mafia? (doing things that make people think he is mafia) And as far as being irrational, it feels to me like he tried to capitalize on a chance for free scumreads but couldn't produce a reason to justify it when pressured. Feels like he made it up.

I could be wrong but that's my thinking right now anyway.

(1) That was not the whole point. I hate when people take one small part of the case and (intentionally) fail to see the big picture. The big picture here is the following; I don't actually think someone falsely using meta is indeed scummy because people misremember things, and truth to be told Cake hasn't played that much here. But when i went and read the games they had played together it became apparent that Vivax is not telling the truth. You can all go and confirm what i said if you want to, here is the only game Vivax and Cake have been town in together on this forum. Whether Vivax was not telling the truth intentionally or not, the whole point regarding that stands. When you have based your scumread on false premises, and someone comes and debunks every argument for your scumread (which is literally what happened here), If you are town you start re-evaluating because your point doesn't actually hold water and you should know it. Vivax never does that. Trfel never acknowledges this fact (which is literally the point of my argument regarding this), and i don't like he's only arguing "half" of the argument because he can make up a "townie explanation" for part of it. Hope you get what i mean.

I'm trying to not focus too hard on deadline stuff because apparently he needed to sleep but despite that he feels a bit disconnected and slightly apathetic to the game, despite being very present.

(2) That is just simply untrue. You can go to my filter and see that i was never convinced that Cake was mafia. The reason i voted for Vivax originally was because he wouldn't give me an answer to my concern. When i pushed for the answer i got a mafia answer. I had no reason to switch my vote. I don't think i also had no reason to NOT question other things i found suspicious since there was still a lot of time left in the day (i mean if i think Vivax is mafia for having a bs townread on me why should i do nothing else than yelling he is mafia???). Then Trfel made his super bad backpedal from Cake read and i called it out. Then Vivax made his bs meta read and i called it out and added it to my scumread on him.

Another thing here. I tend to encourage people to think with their own brain. Just because i didn't write a big case on Vivax right after i had "all the pieces" doesn't mean i didn't care about my scumread (or the game or whatever Trfel is saying). If you carefully read my filter you can very easily tell why i scumread Vivax even without the case. Like it is super obvious or at least should be. In addition to that, i literally had no time between the post where i ended my "chat" with Vivax and when i answered Zey about why am i voting for Vivax. I can sure post my "schedule" for my wednesday if anyone is concerned and had you not lynched Cake she could even confirm i am not lying if anyone is STILL concerned....

(3) See above.

(4) I am not sure what i was supposed to question? Can someone tell me why i should question my scumreads Vivax/Trfel on why they voted for someone else than Vivax/Trfel? Because for me the answer is apparent lol. Jock's vote change in the end was suspect to me. Because it made no sense from town pov. So that's why i questioned it. What else was i supposed to question? Smells like terrible argument with no thinking behind it.

So there is that, ball's in your court now Trfel.
(1) I apologize, I didn't mean to intentionally misrepresent your point. I just missed the key part, apparently. I've been playing really poorly this game My fault, not yours. That makes a whole lot more sense, I'll have to rethink that then.

(2) through (4) I feel like are just a matter of opinion. Maybe my opinion is wrong. I'm less confident now than I was before, not that I was super confident before anyway, let me try and reread and see if anything comes up.

Also, I apologize for my poor play this game. I don't really have any excuse I dunno why I'm so disconnected. I don't blame anyone for scumreading me because that makes total sense, heck I'd scumread myself if it wasn't for my role PM.

As far as the opening posts go, I found raynpelikoneet's first post (the "Hi" post) more interesting than Vivax's post, yes. I don't actually know what Vivax's post that you are referring to was (he only made one post at this time in the game, no?), I think some people are confused about what time I actually posted my point on. But the reasoning is the timing of the post. "Hi" isn't suspicious itself, it's that he didn't engage with the thread at all that I found slightly suspicious. It's not the content of the post, it's what wasn't in the post. Again, it's a small thing, and I was primarily focused on starting discussion, I don't actually think that makes raynpelikoneet mafia or anything. Just the best suspicion I had at the time.

If there are any further questions about this or anything else, please feel free to ask. I'll try and be around a bit. But it's difficult for me to get motivation to play when I can't figure out who is mafia and everyone thinks I am mafia

In my opinion it did just appear. Even if you forget what he said N1 and D1 on the last hour, still. I don't see any hint that Trfel would think that Cake is scum. Like here:

(1) If I'm understanding this right he is saying that his question to Cake didn't lead to any opinion about her and there wasn't even really a change to lead anywhere.
(2) Trfel is saying that even rayns hi was scummier than Cakes townread on Jock. And (3) he doesn't really think that even that was scummy.
So how you are thinking that Cake read didn't just appear?
Yes, it's correct. My decision to scumread CopCake came in just a few minutes as I was quickly reading filters before the lynch.

As for why I questioned CopCake, if she didn't respond that way, then I think it would have been a valid reason to scumread her. Yes, I know I got the most likely response (regardless of alignment), but is that a reason to not try? Especially at the start of the game, I think it's worth pursuing a little, it doesn't hurt anything.

Oh, and who was it that accused me of having too low of an accuracy of scumreads? Yes I was wrong on CopCake, and for that I apologize, but being wrong in one read on Day 1 isn't that noteworthy honestly. Kinda annoyed at that reason to scumread me. Almost seems dumb enough I might OMGUS it.

This is actually nonsense, sure I haven't been very effective but I have been here. I was absent for a 24-hour period (or so) in the middle of Day 1, but outside of that I've been here. I've explained reasons to be suspicious of people. I've contributed more reads and more explanations to the game than ShoCkeyy has, for example. Yes, I'm having a hard time finding mafia this game, but so is everyone. Blindly saying I'm not trying at all shows a clear lack of reading, and feels like blatantly lying about my play this game.

Players who "float by without putting in effort" don't reread filters, or post mini-cases, and post more when they're being scumread.

I don't think that Trfel's question about Cake's townread was scummy. To me it just looks somebody who wants people to talk more that game would really start. It would be different if he would have said that Cake is scummy because of that. But I'm still wondering why he said that rayn's first post was scummiest entrance. I mean I don't see how it would be scummiest and I don't see how Trfel can believe that he would get any read about rayn with something like that.
Posts like this stick out to me too. Why bother defending someone you are about to scumread? Especially with how confident this early scumread seems to be.

Looking through Zey's filter, I'm actually extremely unimpressed. She has contributed very little to this game, only a scumread on me (discussed in most of her posts) and a scumread on Tictock (the only reason given is because his top scumread was ShoCkeyy). If you are trying to find a potential mafia floating "under the radar," look at Zey. I could very easily see Zey being mafia here.

I'm considering switching to copcake right now.
Reasons:
The voting late on which looks like self preservation, the threat to switch to trfel which i think comes from a mafia place (ensuring 3 votes on trfel because i was getting cold feet about the lynch), the early townread on me followed by reassuring me into keeping my vote on vivax. It all seems very convenient.

Hmm, wasn't Cake getting cold feet before you even mentioned you were getting?


Half an hour later Jock is dead.

I just think subconsciously you probably would not start questioning someone who you know is not gonna be there to answer.
Jeekaka, I think you are probably town (you've raised points that are actually decent), but I highly disagree with this. I know before that as mafia I have posted large cases on people that I was night-killing at the deadline, to make the night kill less associated with me. I don't think this is a valid point at all and would encourage you to re-evaluate your read on Zey.

Honestly I kinda liked raynpelikoneet's response to my post on him. His first point in particular makes a ton of sense, I had not thought about it that way at all. I can still see him being mafia here (I have little reason to townread him, since I know he is a strong scum player), but I'm a bit hesitant to lynch him today. I feel like ShoCkeyy and Zey are better targets.

I actually feel decent about mafia being in ShoCkeyy/Zey/maybe raynpelikoneet/mayyyyybe Vivax. I realize that Vivax has been lazy this game, which is consistent with his typical mafia meta (as breakable as that may be), and he is a very capable town player. So that does point to him being mafia. However I think it's possible for town players to have off-games, and if ever there was a game for an off-game, it would be this one (it's kinda demotivating when there is so little activity/response and everyone is suspicious of you, another example of this is myself of course). When I read Vivax's posts, in general his reads seem to make sense.

For example, in contrast to ShoCkeyy and Zey, Vivax has been lazier, but I know what he thinks and why. And except for the meta read on CopCake (as raynpelikoneet pointed out), I can see where he is coming from in his reads. He's brought up some original points and such. So I'm guessing Vivax is town here.

In fact, I should probably take a second look at Tictock, since Vivax says so. But for now, I'll vote for ShoCkeyy.

That’s exactly what you did to me. You said I had no reads yet you didn’t even try and read anything I wrote. You just put these huge walls of text and then say you’re going to vote for me. I feel like I essentially re-read your first 10 posts all over again.
First, I never said you have no reads. Second, I've read your filter several times.

I'm really not sure what you are getting at.

There's a really big difference between what I have said and "no reads." In fact, over these past several posts I've barely talked about you, because nothing has changed much. How do you feel like it's repetitive, when I barely mentioned you?

Look, ShoCkeyy, I'm happy to re-evaluate my read on you. But it's really hard for me to do that when you're accusing me of not reading your posts, when in fact I've done the opposite.

I made one post where I said I don't know what your reads are except for one scumread. Please go back in your filter and show me other posts you made before then with other reads. I acknowledged your one read.

In future posts, after which you posted more reads, I even acknowledged those reads. Your lack of reads is not a reason I am scumreading you, because you do have reads. That's what my posts say.

Looking through TicTock's filter, I think he could definitely be mafia here too. Probably not with ShoCkeyy, which puts me in an awkward position.

It's his read progression on ShoCkeyy and Vivax that makes no sense to me. He scumreads ShoCkeyy for posting useless things, sure. Then he eventually kinda backs off on ShoCkeyy some (? unclear what he really thought about ShoCkeyy) due to trusting Vivax, a null to slight town read. Then he decides that me and Vivax are mafia but still thinks ShoCkeyy is town, presumably based on Vivax's reasoning.

The ShoCkeyy read feels forced here. It goes away when it's convenient and comes back when it's convenient, regardless of what logic would suggest. The scumread on Vivax came up out of nowhere, too.

What does that have anything to do with anything I said? I never said you didn't do that.

If you are town, please work with me here. If you're mafia, keep doing exactly this.

Hey jeekaka, any thoughts about who to vote for? Any thoughts on my scumreads?

Honestly I'm really disappointed at having no feedback or thoughts, then people are just going to come back tomorrow and lynch me for not contributing It's really discouraging. I wish I could at least talk to people but it doesn't seem like that is the case.

Mostly I just wonder about you and Vivax hard townreading each other. You yourself admit it's very reasonable to suspect you - what do you think about Vivax not suspecting you at all?
I don't want to dive deep into self-meta since I think self-meta is a very ridiculous thing. As in, typically it's too much to expect other people to fully understand/recognize/believe it.

Vivax knows my play fairly well, he was actually my coach in my first mafia game here. He knows I've had my share of effortful and lazy games. Furthermore I don't think he's calling me town, I believe he's more saying I'm null, which is (imo) a reasonable stance. See here (bold):

Did you look into Trfel or not?


Yep. Doesn't shift me particularly either way.
His rayn scumread-ish is interesting but not worth putting much weight into if he doesn't pursue it further.

I'm still in a TT+zey world.
I'm reading Vivax more town than he's reading me. But both of us have other targets we feel are better lynches, to me that seems fine.

I encourage peeps to look at TT's filter. It's kinda telling at quick glance.

- Settles for a very early cop townread.
- Agrees with cop early on Shockeyy being scum.
- His followup before deadline doesn't reflect any intention of directing the lynch either way, when he really should have a clear cut opinion of what the game should be doing.
- Most posts are rather focused at discussing stuff from all sorts of topics. Like asking me about what I was saying about cake, but not really coming out with something from it that would make him say I'm wrong and cake is town. Or I'm mafia and cake is town. He just kinda okay's the replies he gets and minds his own business.
- Instead asks me why he should consider zey, then asks Jock why he should consider me. Two posts he's doubting his Trfel read, then his read on me.

He has a very hands-off approach to the game. He did look at zey but didn't come out with a conclusion, just a question of whether zey thinks he's scum. Then he voted me for the sake of not voting cop. Again, easy out.

You don't get the feeling TT analyzes posts and asks question to reach a clear-cut way of seeing the game that he can stick to and influence the lynch the way he likes. It's really just a pretense to be insecure, while usually that should push townies towards reconsidering things in a hurry, he appears more calm and mechanical.

Shouldn't he have had a clear opinion to lynch Shockeyy considering he was questioning my townread on him?
That read just sort of went away towards the end and he was just contemplating Trfel, myself, even after I apparently swayed him that Shock could be town.

tl;dr: I don't think Ticktock has a real opinion on things and he's struggling to make it look like he does.

I'm kinda reconsidering my Tictock read currently, instigated by what Vivax is bringing up.

ShoCkeyy is really hard to read, I understand where Vivax is coming from and it makes me question my read on ShoCkeyy too. I think Vivax's read makes sense even if I disagree with it to some extent.

I started to vote for ShoCkeyy because I thought he was the most suspicious person. If I really wanted to save myself here I would scumread Vivax. But my best read on Vivax is not mafia.

I am not sure if I will continue voting for ShoCkeyy, mostly because I am starting to get suspicious of TicTock. But I am not sure if there is a better target I don't know.

I didn't make any excuse for Vivax, I just don't really think he is mafia here. I explained it in the previous page.

Do you want to know my thoughts on that discussion as it relates to my alignment, or Zey's, or what? Honestly I kinda skimmed that part because it was hard for me to understand what people were saying As far as it relates to my alignment, I tried to answer it last page. I did come up with my scumread on CopCake out of thin air, in a matter of minutes. I had to, it was coming down to the deadline, there was no time for more. And I did feel like raynpelikoneet's Hi post was the most interesting entrance to the thread. I explained why last page as well.

Or did you want to know my thoughts about Zey? I don't recall getting anything meaningful from Zey's alignment, it seemed kinda like a meh trail of questioning that doesn't give much info with respect to Zey's alignment.

TicTock, if you are indeed town, I'm going to need to ask you to re-evaluate some things. Take another look at ShoCkeyy. Take another look at Vivax. Take another look at me. I don't really know why you think I am mafia, do explain? No silly associations, facts please.

I dunno Tictock, I'm having trouble getting much useful information from the posts you spoilered. Sorry

But seriously, I don't know why people really think I am mafia here. I can understand not thinking I am town, but I don't understand why everyone is so convinced I am mafia.

Yes, my activity was quite poor earlier. However, I've changed that now. I'm here, I'm present, I'm playing, I'm contributing quality thoughts. That's more than you can say for many of the players in this game.

So what if I find different things interesting than other people? Isn't that the beauty of the game, that different things stick out to different players? What a boring game it would be otherwise. How does that make me mafia?

Yes, my reads can change quickly. If you want meta, that's been a major mark of my town play the past few years (and unfortunately, is one of the main reasons why my lynch % has increased significantly), because I don't spend the time to review every little thing like I used to, so new information/new perspectives readily changes my reads. Fluid reads is generally considered a towny trait, as mafia have trouble changing their reads quickly. Especially when justified.

The one suspicious thing I've done is being wrong on CopCake. Granted, that was quite poor, and for that I (once again) apologize to all. But understand that I was in a rush to try and find something, as voting is mandatory in this game. Look at my play here, trying to analyze all of the possibilities and figure out the best lynch. This is how I play when I have more time and can analyze things more effectively. But in a five minute window or so, I'm not really sure what you expect from me.

I am really hesitant to say this, because saying this was a huge part of why I got lynched last game, but I'm probably not going to be around much tomorrow Which basically paints a huge target on my back saying "here mafia, come and lynch me." But it's unavoidable, I am busy with my family. Which is a lot of why I am spending so much time tonight trying to figure out the best lynch, because I can't tomorrow.

So there. Do whatever you want. But I think I've played a very reasonable game, I think I've put forth a decent scum pool and as time permits I'll keep working to find the mafia. I encourage everyone to re-evaluate and take a look at what I've posted. I encourage those scumreading Vivax to take another look. I am confident that mafia is riding all of the easy Trfel/Vivax scumreads and not justifying them well, just following thread sentiment (because they aren't well-justified reads). If you lynch me, that's on you.

I guess I should say, I'm sorry again for my lack of motivation and commitment this game. I think I underestimated the mental effect that last game's lynch had on me. Shouldn't have signed up to play this one I gave it my best given the circumstances though.

Gonna take a shot in the dark and say it's ShoCkeyy/Zey, probably my final guess tonight.

I think I'm going to switch votes to Zey.

Read Zey's filter and honestly tell me she is town this game. Null at best.

The list post is another example of Zey failing to evaluate this game. Look at how she is suspicious of four-five people in a game with two mafia, yet she's okay with that. She's not engaging to try and figure things out, not really interacting, just answering questions/requests. Also note that her top scumread posted a ton of posts and a ton of new content, and Zey just completely ignored it. Didn't re-evaluate, didn't even mention why it means they are still mafia. Passed over all of their explanations of old questions, too.

Honestly reeks of mafia.
