So if Rayn wants himself or Hapa for mayor only, and hapa won’t run, why is he not now running? Or if he is, why is his campaign basically nil?

We are 24 hours into the day and the mayoral vote is completely spread. This is not a situation that is good for town if it persists.

There needs to be some move by those who haven't voted to cast their vote. There also needs to be a move by those who aren't "viable candidates" to withdraw.

As stated previously, I believe Trfel is a logical choice for mayor.

Like it or not Shockeyy, you are not much of a risk to be shot on N1, nor have you been super involved in the game thusfar.

Trfel's posting is also dead-on with his previous town games. His entrance shows he is reading the thread. He also has this "peculiar" way of making his reads as town, which I will elaborate on if I feel he is in danger of getting lynched. I think he has also appropriately pinged Grack's posts, as well as Rayn's relative passivity, which shows a degree of careful reading in the early game

Can you elaborate more on this subject? Like in more detailed way, quote what he said and explain how it is as you wrote here. I got a bit more busy with work, so i am gonna be around properly in about 3.5 hrs. Until then i am just watching mostly.

While I'm at it, raynpelikoneet feels a bit off to me too. Reason being that he seemed like a bit of a push-over. No quotes right now because I'm on my phone and I'm too lazy to get up and walk to my computer. I'm used to raynpelikoneet being fairly stubborn, so this behavior seems strange to me.

He said he couldn't read Alakaslam, and then later agreed about leaning town on Alakaslam. And he was suspicious of me for sensible reasons, and then ended up calling me maybe town.

It would make sense if he liked my townread of Alakaslam, agreeing with it and then townreading me as well, but (1) would that really be enough to sway him from his initial read in both cases, and (2) he continued to poke at my Alakaslam townread to point out what he perceived as flaws with it.

Hm.


It's easy for Trfel to make a throwaway "suspicious of Rayn" post, but he ends up fairly justifiable suspicions given the early-game context.

Based on my own interactions with you this game (Rayn), I am also somewhat surprised that we aren't ranting at each other yet. This doesn't make you inherently mafia, but the tone is different enough for me to take notice, and for me to nod my head when others take notice.

Let's see what Trfel's accusation towards me was.
- "seemed like a bit of a push-over"
- "He said he couldn't read Alakaslam, and then later agreed about leaning town on Alakaslam"

First of all i am trying to play differently from the last game in terms of not jumping on everything and not getting annoyed by stupid shit. Aside from those two things i think i played pretty perfect game and every time it mattered (aka the lynches) i ended up on the right answer every single time in the game. I mainly don't want to jump on Hapa as i usually tend to do because in case he is town we know where that will end up on as it happened a couple of games ago (the one with shockeyy and whoever other person was mafia). I ended up ruining my own whole game just to call Hapa mafia after he got annoyed at me and started intentionally acting like i think he would as mafia (lol). So yeah, you can call me "push-over" or whatever you want but that doesn't mean anything regarding my alignment.

The second part is more interesting to me. I think it was very clear to everyone why i townread Slam. I even made two posts about it. These two:

Well

Yeah which is why you wanting it to be you or him was sus as hell but then Trfel came and put his pants on his head and shat on the carpet so I was too busy going “wtf” at that.

Plus the occam’s razor hamblin’s razor whichever one.

I dont know if you realised it but i have been kinda being after this from my first post to him. I guess i can reveal my this thing: now.

Okay, we'll see about that later on then. Then i am also not gonna post the follow up i was going to yet.


I dont really think Hapa is town atm. I think he should at least maybe have some reads he doesnt atm.

I still don't know why Hapa doesn't want to be mayor. And it stinks. I dont necessarily buy the "i dont wanna be town leader" because to me it doesnt sit right. Why dont you want to lead the town if youre likely to be right (as you should at least think you are if youre town) and you are generally a good scumhunter? I just dont get it.

Especially coupled with one of Hapa's later posts:

In general, we should be voting for someone who 1) is valuable to the town if alive, and 2) has a reasonable chance of getting shot on N1. Slam does not fit category 2, even if he looks super town. Even if Grack starts looking more town, he also does not fit category 2.

Which of you everyone think Hapa does not fit these categories? Raise your hand and i will immediately call you mafia....

But that was not the main point. The main point was that i think both of Hapa and Trfel thinking it's a good observation that "rayn says he cannot read Slam and then reads him town anyways" is at best crappy as hell because good posts make people town and bad posts make them mafia most of the time. Slam made the best observation (at least in my mind -- and there should be no doubt about it for anyone who is reading the game properly) in the game at that point. No matter if i think i cant read slam i am going to give him town credit for that. Notably aswell, for Hapa this shouldnt be any surprise because in the last game i also said i cant read slam and i cant read acro and i was amongst the first to yell they are mafia....

So yeah there is that. Now i am going to look at the trfel/grack interaction and then post my reads.

Also i dont even think that's true. Grack has played very good town games in the near pat, i agree that like one or two years ago i would sign on what you said. However atm i really think you are the most likely player to be mafia shockeyy, I dont think you have been even remotely connected to the game or following along, and i think that generally makes you mafia. I dont want you to be mafia though so can you please try to play if youre town?

My concern is in his running post for mayor state this:

As your Mayor I pledge to CRUSH the "opposition“

He stated opposition instead of just stating mafia, which is the towns opposition. His opposition here could be town.

Ok yes but rayn why aren’t you running for mayor then? And why didn’t you?

I mean it is too late now but if that was how you felt, why did you not at least vote yourself and say what you would do?

Despite your apparently good play I am really hung up on that from you. I see a town reason to play that way, and I do see a scum reason as well.

So

We will see if you are honest (or can fool me) or if you just don’t reply

idk, maybe to be less of "town leader" as you said, sit in the sidelines more and justify not being shot.

i dont know why mafia does stupid stuff. you do those as well as anyone else does

Let's assume that I am mafia-hapa, trying to live a lazy-scum-life and therefore avoiding the limelight. Would it still not be a good strategy for me to be elected mayor? I would have quite a nice excuse for being alive later in the game.

It is not really that you have done anything scummy Hapa. It is just weird that i can't really reasonably justify as either alignment and when that's the case i tend to think it is more likely to come from mafia since i dont know why mafia does things. I mean like especially glowingbear always tries to justify every shit he does as mafia as "why would i do this as mafia". It doesnt really matter, if it doesnt make sense for town then it's probably mafia.
