Why do I have strong maf reads and then no one can follow along, I think I need to improve how I push suspicion in the thread. Happened with Copcake too. | ||

You vote after others suggest it. That is low key scummy but not damning (many players do this) so it doesn't get you SR outright but it also makes your efforts to convince others kinda feckless. That or I missed your earlier vote with conviction. Maybe you did that with Trfel but in that case, it would be due to "wrong target" as too many town read him at the time/weren't in the mood to throw down votes yet. | ||

I'm talking about trfel, he is my only strong scum read right now. Koshi is closer to voting against the meta abuse. | ||

Basically his justifications for his top 2 lynch candidate read on me is farcical. Regarding Holyflare: Did he actually try and justify that vote on you from the start of the game? Cause that does look bad. Can you quote this post? Trefel then says I am suspicious based on lack of thread presence (which should be discounted based on timezones) and the fact I called sandroba town. Probably a disservice to what you write but you fill up a lot of thread gets clogged up with you going back and forth with the person you already think is mafia to the point where I just zone out and don't want to engage anywhere near either of you. This post is probably good though if it is correct so thanks for the summary. I don't agree with your "he's calling me town" rhetoric though, I think that was clutching at straws. | ||

For some reason this post made me read DP’s summary there which I’d missed previously. It mostly looks okay so I will try give it a 2nd look tomorrow DP | ||

Oh Yeah then I just need more posts to observe and see that Trfel is likely before I can vote him. Not from you, I know where you stand and why. Only thing keeping me is that I know everyone (including myself) is capable of having excellent reasons to be dead wrong. Sure, you are convinced and have reason to be. But do I have reason to be? I conclude, no, not yet. | ||

On December 11 2023 04:49 Trfel wrote: Holyflare, thoughts on DarthPunk? I get that it's night in Australia but he still feels a bit off to me. On December 11 2023 06:30 Trfel wrote: Two things. First is that after you unvoted me you seemed content to have no strong suspicion or push or thread presence, though I may be underestimating the impact of it being nighttime in Australia. Second thing is that some of your reasoning really doesn't line up. For example, what raynpelikoneet mentioned, your reason to townread sandroba being that he was suspicious of marvellosity. He didn't engage marvellosity or push for his lynch, he's wanting to lynch Vivax, it's easy to say "this person is mafia" and not back it up or push it at all. | ||

And see, this is why I can't SR HF despite his being my top suspect. Because he makes stuff like this and I know my own bias. | ||

I think you may be misunderstanding 3rd post? What do you think Trfel is saying there? | ||

I don't really see what's wrong with the second point. If you say you town read Sandroba because of his scum read on Marv and trfel thinks Sandro's reasoning is weak and it didn't seem like Sandro cared about it, why is it bad to dislike you? I'll have a look into the gap between you dropping the trfel read and going to bed to see if it was unfair or not though. Potentially doez have merit and might be something a mafia trfel would harp on in lieu of a more evolved read on someone else. | ||

This is very unlikely to come from mafia. If he was mafia he would more likely take a breather and try to position himself good in the thread as this would have been his tactic from the start. But instead he kinda nonsensical attacks DP again. But not in a way to shit in the thread, it reads as if he actually was surprised DP gave him breathing room and found it suspicious. Tfrel as mafia makes no sense. He took over from Sandrobe to be the town water carrier. People should help him instead of saying he is mafia or suspicious. He is doing the Lords work. You want people like your town read marv to carry this town instead. lael lael lael Or this HF that can't string up a decent argument? I think we should just all trust teh mafias and wait on Koshi to do something before we actually do something. That is a good tactic. I'll be waiting with them. | ||

When I had said the following prior to him explaining the sandro stuff as a primary read on me. (it's essentially the same sentiment) On December 11 2023 06:21 DarthPunk wrote: I mean I understand that, but I also think I could see it from Sandro's perspective, I don't see how making this accusation actually does anything positive for Sandro's agenda if he is mafia. I also tend to think that townies will make really dumb reads a lot, but as long as I feel like I can understand the reasons for the read in some way, it's fine. With his marv read the observations are correct to me, I just think the conclusion is wrong because marv tends to be more of a jerk (in the nicest possible way) as town and more conciliatory as mafia. But I don't expect Sandro to have that information or arrive at that conclusion based on how long he has been away. | ||

Yes the puns intended where they exist.) 3) He had an argument with DP which he was undergoing at first, but after DP gave him breathing space, Tfrel continued the fight.

Maybe you see it that way- but I do not Tfrel as mafia makes no sense. if he is scum, that is a high compliment indeed He took over from Sandrobe to be the town water carrier. by SR sandroba? Doesn't that just make Trfel a hypocrite to you? Koshi are you just mafia here? People should help him instead of saying he is mafia or suspicious. He is doing the Lords work. I don't see that to be so. Schism is nothing new to the Church. I am Presbyterian, mostly. You want people like your town read marv to carry this town instead. lael lael lael is this directed at me anymore? Or this HF that can't string up a decent argument? I think we should just all trust teh mafias and wait on Koshi to do something before we actually do something. That is a good tactic. I will say your sarcasm here is warranted. Town be lazy right now. Me too. But I remain unconvinced. I'll be waiting with them. I reply in dark bloo | ||
