The problem i see here is that it should be quite clear why i decided to change my lynch preference, as i said so. After that you start thinking Hapa and Trfel are mafia, not TT anymore, who was btw one of the people who at least quickly jumped on Grack is mafia train. Like i would be totally fine with your eod if you started yelling me "look this super scummy TT is gonna make you change the lynch!!" but no, that's not what you did. Even though TT technically at least possibly played a role in that. Another thing is that you had no problem with me lynching FF while you didn't think he was the best lynch. Suddenly there was a big nono when i move to some other target that is STILL not your preferred lynch. Think about this though. It’s NAI. If Grack were scum, that would implicate me. No it would implicate you MORE. It still may make you mafia because mafia often times react in completely retarded ways on something they dont expect to happen.
Ok

Regarding Slam:
1) His posting is so wildly different from his scum-game in Aperture that I find it difficult to believe he is mafia. As mafia, it almost seems like he's constantly fighting the guilt of being scum. He is much looser here.
2) His move to consolidate the town on Rayn by abandoning his candidacy is objectively pro-town. My reservations against Rayn aside, it was very important at that point in the game for town to focus and consolidate. I will be honest i dont really know what slam would or would not post as mafia, or why he would do that. But still, even if this looks like i am contradicting myself, to me it looks like he knew grack is gonna flip not mafia. I think that invalidates your point (2). Also what does that even matter if both me and trfel are town? one of us is gonna decide the lynch anyways and slam has very little to say in that. I guess we are both stuck with having meta as a layer of looking slam's / vivax's posts "objectively", if you know what i mean?  Problem is, you could justify lynching Slam in literally any game he plays if you only look at what he is "objectively" doing. Anyway, I am curious why you feel that Vivax's meta makes him very town here, given he had a relatively strong performance in his last scum game. Also, I don't get the sense that he is reading anything carefully. The way he played the end of Day 1 seems incredibly lazy.
That's not true. For Slam. At least i don't think so.
Because Vivax tends to disagree with everything i say and one of us tends to die early in case we are both town. I dont generally read his posts very carefully because they are not much of use to me. I kinda just look like if he looks like he is town or not. Also as i said, it's one game. I dont care if it is recent or not, but i have seen Vivax play mafia maybe 10 times if not more and one "irrationality" in pattern doesn't make a difference for me. That's what i do, especially D1.

I dont care if he answered me or not before he posted that. When a lynch happens, especially one that you're strongly against (or for), or look like you are, the first thing a townie does is go look at the flip and what it is (if you are not already F5'ing all the time). Then you start posting whatever you start posting after you see new information (unless youre mafia ofc, because you already knoew if it is a mafia flip or not). What Slam did didn't look like that for me.

Well in this case the first answer to me also matters, because like what the fuck if grack would have been mafia are hapa and trfel still scum or what?

I have a hard time with reads that attribute a "normal thought process" to Slam tbh.

Let me ask you this Slam:
When i asked you about your scumreads on Hapa and Trfel, why did you decide to answer me before looking at the flip? I mean like, if Grack had flipped mafia you should have said "i am dumb fuck me" and that is a reasonable answer.

I dont think there is "normal thought process". I mean like i often times think this when i am town, i could probably make a case on anyone in this game if i was mafia, and i could make it look like "normal thought process" and probably out-argue pretty much everyone. That's also why i get annoyed about people thinking i am mafia because i am staying more calm. It's like... wtf... Noone can actually even read me properly i think, aside from maybe marv.

Can you see how his run might not seem to me to come from a town perspective at all? Sure it looks like it but also you can also just as easily look at it as mafia trying to get free protection without having to risk anything because town gets the blame for the lynch and not slam.

Slam's pliable argument IS his entire campaign. Vote for him because he must be town because a vote for him is a vote for whatever town decides, therefore he must be town. I don't see how that comes from a town perspective. Trfel's start is all full of contradictions. He seems ultra confident about slam's tone and then seems to drop that line of thought so easily.

Yet even in a short game, seems content with having no scumreads. The simplest and most likely explanation is that he is mafia.
Conclusion
Jockmcplop hasn't accomplished anything this game. He has no scumreads, almost no suspicions even, yet seems very content with this. His words and posts also don't match the (lack of) conclusions he draws from them. In combination with not caring about who is lynched Day 1, Jockmcplop is very likely mafia.

Honestly, I don't remember anything that Jock said this game, which probably makes him mafia.

In other news, I'm starting to think less and less that raynpelikoneet is mafia. And I'm wondering more about Fecalfeast. Though I'm not sure if Fecalfeast would be quite this useless as mafia? Probably a terrible metric.
Not really confident at all on who else is mafia (regardless of if I am right or not on Jockmcplop), unfortunately.
Also, I won't be around for the deadline tomorrow, since it's a night deadline that should be fine though.
