I'm finalizing here.

I like a bunch of mafia in:

rayn
jat
rels
mz
tts

then there's gonna be some mafia in the people who should be killed on policy

vivax
trfel
hapa


then there's the people that need constant monitoring and need to improve

iamp
marv
jealous
copcake
slam
ve

and finally we have the people I have somewhere from mild to good reasons to think are town

sandro
oats
dp
dmb
jls
koshi

None of the lists are in any particular order

I don't really think Trfel will flip mafia. It's just a "I believe in people" read that he wouldn't fuck off like that as mafia with the whole "If I get lynched I get lynched" thing
. But it's an objectively good lynch so I'm not going to fight it all that hard. Leaving my vote on jat. I've been burned before by placing too much faith in people not doing crazy things as mafia so it's whatever.


He kinda hinted at what he has to answer about that. He believes that someone, as scum, who'd be under pressure to post after being mia for two days and at risk of being lynched would be too dickish to just go martyr mode.

But then he could also take a better look at Jealous.

That only works with the assumption there's a guaranteed mafia who just didn't feel like doing anything all day until the last moment and it's him. Need to think.

Some mafia theory.
We ended the day with basically 3 afks.

Jealous, TTS, Hapa

One of them got policied and flipped town. Posted nothing basically.
One didn't vote and probably forgot about the game.
The third went tornado mode with a sloppy catchup.

I want to hear Palmar because he's supposedly the best at this kind of stuff: If there's mafia among the three, which one is it going to be?

Sorry but that's gotta be basically a misrep. Insulting, really.

I wanna workshop something. I felt like jealous posting was very clean and non confrontational. Very clean for someone who had a ton to catch up to too.

^ At least one person said the exact opposite, and others seemed to have no trouble following it. The only thing I can think of that was "sloppy" about it was the one part where I meant to quote/link Palmar but didn't.

So, what part of that post was "sloppy?" What did you not like about it, and how was it AI?


The Trfel summary post bothered me the most. But I like that you called rayn mafia, didn't realize you used a double negative and were fully calling him mafia though until now that I'm rereading.

I'm running the approach of looking for a player you could call a late entry mafia, could be I'm too quickly to judge while I'm operating under the assumption it's you. Give me some time. The other one could be JAT.

What also bothers me is your choice for lynch:

Okay I had like 51 more tabs with quotes up but fuck it, this post is already too bloated as is.

All reads are shitty D1 reads, shitty for obvious reasons (not much concrete info to work with). Definitely some reads that I am probably getting wrong because I haven't played with many of you and have not played many games here period so I have to interpret how others are reacting to that poster's behavior (ex: Alakaslam is just schizoposting but that seems to be NAI for them based on how little attention it is getting). Also, I know this isn't saying much given basic probability and etc., but the majority of interactions/slapfights/finger-pointing felt very TvT to me.

Anyway:

1) raynpelikoneet - Hard to have a strong scum lean at the moment but rayn's behavior isn’t not mafia!rayn from what I can tell/my experience. I certainly don’t think he should be bailed out by other posters whose conduct I was unimpressed with, like CopCake. Seeing other people I am more confident in believing to be town having the same impression has helped me feel a bit more confident in my gut read here. Having played and successfully read rayn as scum in the past, this feels a lot like that time.

Vivax, my point is (as i tend to think other's point is as well);

If you are helping mafia, it doesnt matter to mafia if you are elected as mayor. I understand what you're saying, and yes i can be 100% more certain that i am town than you are, others can't. But i don't understand why we should elect a mayor who is effectively not helping the town, for instance by roleclaiming for no fucking reason... I can understand people thinking as town, that Vivax is 99% town and rayn is maybe 80 or what the fuck ever % town and still best shot at winning the game is electing rayn. I can understand that, and it's not scummy. Like i am considering electing Slam over you, if it comes to that, just because Slam can be reasonable, more likely. Because what i just read over the couple of pages from you does not seem reasonable.

Dumbest thing I read. Slam is more reasonable? Ok rayn.

^ Agreed with Koshi on this. “Slam is more reasonable” is not what I’m seeing in this game.

No how so.

Isn't Koshi saying he suspects a fake claim from Vivax?

This would be because Vivax is usually very adverse to real claiming,
Which implies this is a gambit for mayor.

If Vivax wasn't under pressure, that is further evidence it was a gambit for mayor.

Where is my comprehension/logic problem?


He is not fake claiming thats not what he would do.
As I already know fake claiming always be exposed at some point and as he loves to play here on TL he would not risk a fake claim as scum and risking an early lynch. Just feels so wrong and it would be not comparable with any game I habe read of him. Maybe he is Town and claims so we get a town mayor but even that doesn´t seem like his meta

Why would Vivax think we don't get town mayor as he thinks i am town?


Correction: I currently think you are town. But I know I'm town.

Yes but how does DMB come to conclusion that while you thinking i am town, you need to claim to have a town mayor? Because for me that seems like an insane thought process.


No it's clear rationality.
How do you protect the role that can't protect itself but other players? You make it mayor.

They have to kill three randomly selected BGS before they can NK me.
If we get the roleblocker I become a jailkeeper with medic protection.

It's honestly mind boggling I have to explain.

I understand your point. I really do. It just hinges on us getting the roleblocker where there is no guarantee on. Otherwise none of this matters because most likely there is nothing else to roleblock than you....

I don't usually live long as town. There is perhaps some logic to that. I am not sure if you know this but i am 11/4 in LYLO (let it be F-3, F-5, or F-7) situations. From those games, one is where i had the correct read and i just couldnt for my life convince Oats to vote for VA over me even when the mafia dude was voting for Oats (lol). One i got right but i still consider it a loss, because i think Art/rsoul slot cheated to get me townread them and DP was mafia (RSM2).

So basically i am really fucking good when i live long enough. I just:
1) dont get to live long enough
2) dont have enough "decent people" around long enough

Both of these can be avoided this game, (2) naturally and (1) by making me a mayor.
I have never been lynched in LYLO as town, have you? Does it tell you anything about how you/me look to other people and who is more trusthworthy (if we assume we have good reads -- as i legit know you DO have good reads most of the time, later on in the game)?

The only other player i would genuinely say is on par or even perhaps better than i am late game as town is marv.


you rolled so often mafia that your mafia game is insane and i would not vote you as a mayor in any game. There is no way to confince me to vote you as major. I would rather vote on somebody who plays bad mafia. You are not a safe option for mayor def. not.

that's bullshit you have not seen me mafia aside from last game and i havent rolled mafia in like 1,5 years before that.

^ Did not like these posts from rayn at all. “Look at my stats guys, c’mon, I’m town.” Then blathers on about so much stuff that is barely relevant as if this is Chapter 12 in a long saga of some sort and not isolated incidents/games.



2) Oatsmaster - Don't feel too strongly about it; I didn't find their early posts to be all that bad. Some of the later unsubstantiated reads/posts, not as much; they kinda rubbed me the wrong way, like a person trying to deflect attention from themselves onto someone else.

Thinking about it more, that dmb list is terrible


3) DarthPunk - Probably one of my strongest town reads at the moment. Was pushing the game forward from the very start, and in general I find myself agreeing with his reads on others. Spends time and effort reviewing his reads/tunnels on others, updates his reads publicly and without prompting at times. The concern I have is that he could be just a smart + experienced mafia who is doing a good job of looking townie, but I guess time will tell. Some posts of theirs I liked:

It's totally within DP's Meta to be question presuring and smug but as I said before I'm not going to think about him for a good while otherwise we'll get another JSL v TTT event.

Slam is interesting. I'm using all my power to not instantly Cheziu vote them.

Ray always seems like the most reasonable person ever to me but this might be because I don't think I've ever been in a ray scum game. This said I would vote for them for Mayor behind myself.

Cake Cop's gender identity has thrown my read of them entirely off which is strange I didn't realise it would do that I'll have to start reading them again.

I'm not sure who it was but someone came into the thread and was like hey three pages and no votes bah but then in the vote thread doesn't seem to have voted either.

Moving Oats to town. I thought he spammed too much at the time and his question to the host felt like something he could have done in PM land but the fact he felt the same way about JS looking scummish early probably means we think more alike than not.

So I‘m at:

Town: DP, Rayn, Oats, TTS
Good nulls : Marv
Null/need to read more: MZ, cop, Slam
Bad nulls: VE, Sandroba
Mafia: Trfel


Okay I'll just open up replies of interest from when I was sleeping and then combine them all later it might look a bit discombobulated.

I also did get this impression a bit but I might be biased by last game Koshi being mafia, speaking of I voted for him to see if he got pouty about it. Which they did a very small amount but not sure if alignment indicitive nessesarally. (follow up now that I've read to page 55 both my very slight town reads are voting VE and then Rayn just started mentioning voting VE so I would be happy to "sheep", that said I wasn't super impressed but I know I have a massive cognative bais against Koshi.

Slam there is no point doing anything with. Let mafia deal with him and if he’s alive in X days revisit it.

Vivax is prob role-blocked and killed however now if not elected. If elected we are probably tying up a possible rb on him forever. Either way we lost one protective role for town, but now we have to think about how to minimize the damage or make the best situation out of it.

I don't feel mafia vivax would do this without this much pressure like don't get me wrong that's actually a play I can see someone making or...

We don't even know what marv is. Besides, why shouldn't he?
It's like you think masoning marv is equal to running naked and heavily armed into a military encampment.


I mean if Marv was town quite possibly but not for a player like Ray who while I've only seen the town play but I know it's strong and strong early which is why if town being mayor would be an advantage compared to say dp who's town game is only strong later.

She is just playing a different game as me here, but not in a bad way.
Vivax I like him
MZ Ugly posts, but I can see him being town and him finding his way

Null
Oats

Mafia

Probably because you want to make vivax mayor. Which is insane imo we have someone who already made a terrible decision and you want to give said person more power. He probably thinks your smarter then that and concluded you must be mafia to not see that.


How is he getting more power?

He is just immune to night kill, if he was getting a double vote for the rest of the game that is a different story.

Having our jailkeeper with night kill immunity is really fucking powerful, at worst it soaks a rb for the rest of the game, at best it is just literally broken.

It puts mafia in all sorts of uncomfortable positions where they are fucked if the RB gets lynched or shot.

The vig shot or whatever can be negotiated, but I don't think vivax is bad as town regardless, and he is basically confirmed town.

Why would I roll the dice on anyone who is NOT confirmed town.

Rayn, marv and sandro are NOT confirmed town.


This said good looking post, as sad as it is maybe it's worth keeping vivax alive. I did like him before he roll claimed tbh seemed townish which is why it baffled me all the more that he felt presured enough to claim.

Are we lynching vivax marv?

You miss my point.

You elect a nut job who kills stupid people or makes stupid decision.

Or you elect someone v likely town who might actually hit mafia, and In case you elected mafia after all you can still lynch them later


But I can also see this point as well. Difficult.... I'm conflicted right now.



when he didn't have to this game which was also a notable trait in his last town game.

Activity metrics are comparable to his town play and the posting style is quite similar.

The only thing that gives me pause is his treatment of me as confirmed town from the get-go, and not wanting to lynch his top scum read over lurkers. These are big reasons to be worried but if his activity stays on track and he doesn't contribute to actively trying to find mafia later then yeet him, but I don't want to lynch him today.

His latest posting is really weird, but he posted some out there shit in his last town game to so meh.


^ Example of effort-posting/pushing the game forward. Could be seen as a slight waffle maybe, but I at least get what they are saying and their thought process here.

I tend to like the town circle for now.

The only one I’m really afraid of being mafia in that lot is Rayn

I think mz looked wayyyy better recently so I’m moving him to town for now.

Cake still looks bad.

Koshi looks townie to me. He has that level of arrogance that I felt was missing in his mafia game. I also sensed he was genuinely butthurt at not being in the town circle which I found hilarious but also townie.

Rels makes sense, he is wayyyy less aggressive than I remember but that is old old meta.


^ I agree with this to the extent that is possible given my knowledge. Another reason I’m in the DP = town camp, because their thinking aligns with my own and I’m town, more or less.


4) Vivax - Basically have to operate on the assumption that they are town at this point, if they are mafia then I don't know shit about fuck and probably shouldn't be playing forum mafia in general. Also similar reasons to DP.

I think he's too okay with Palmar dying while voting elsewhere and JAT his main scumread is maybe superficially scummy and the ideal target a scum would latch onto.

Plus he called my posts shallow and generally looks like he's just dragging himself along.

^ Even though I don't necessarily agree with it, I think that going against someone who has been supporting you [as far as I recall, it's been a lot of posts] is pretty townie.

I still want to kill Trfel. That's where my head is at.
Going to hedge on sandro.
VE/MZ worth looking into more deeply imo.

But Trfel first. I'm not going to repeat the mistake of trying to kill multples.

^ I don’t see a rayn/iamp/Vivax team as a possibility so measured posts like this one look pretty good to me, like a townie trying to make sure they don’t over-tunnel.

I dunno Palmar feels very off after digesting for a bit. It's not normal that he buddies up to me so quickly, even if he agrees with my takes. If I had been insanely active I could see it, but here it seems he is trying to pocket me. He even exaggerates the fact that I backed off of him and started acting like I suddenly see him as town. The tone he entered the thread in general feels very different as well. It looks more like d4 reasonable palmar after raport has been built and he has a stronger grasp of people's possible alignment than d1 palmar who is more skeptical and has some plan.

^ Not gonna keep reiterating it but posts like these look townie to me. Pointing out inconsistencies in behavior, not letting themselves be pocketed when in theory they might not mind it, doing so unprompted, etc. Can obv. be smart mafia but idk, just feels organic to me.

I feel like it's harder to argue against vivax mayor as mafia. Rels and palmar both entered the thread with that mindset. Pretty much ignored most of what happened for most of the thread but making sure they say what they were supposed to say as town about the vivax claim as soon as possible.
There are obviously town reasons to mayor vivax, but there is some reluctance I expect from townies. I think the over-eagerness to jump on the vivax train right away points to mafia.


Hard disagree. I find people who just accept it for what it is and make the correct play in regards to him is townie.

The scummy thing is talking around in circles about how shit vivax’s claim was, that he might not be town or if he is he is not confirmed

It’s a huge waste of time and shits up the thread and is also incredibly easy content to fake.

I found palmars approach to the situation very townie for example

Are you still lock town on trfel btw?

Didn't see much of people saying he might not be town. Shitting up the thread discussing the claim being bad I agree, CopCake is the main person I saw driving the discussion back to that.
I think saying he is prob town and prob not the best mayor, at least initially is the reaction I would expect from townies. Remember, even though scum might not want something, it's hard to actually push something when you think it would be obvious anti-town. Scum wants to hide and push things in a subtle way.
Not locked town on trfel since he hasn't been very active, but wouldn't lynch him d1 in a million years. What he has posted so far after the initial setup-focused posts looked super townie to me.

I really really really don't see that.
Last game I was so sure he was town.
What is he doing here? Everytime he gets pressured he moves away from it. Slam asks him about Oats. He gives a good answer but it lacks conviction. It looks way more as a mafia seeing Town!Oats be inquisitive than a townie figuring out Town!Oats is inquisitive.
Slam then pressures on and while replying to somebody else he @slam and disengages with him.

This can't be the same Tfrel as last game? You went 4 days with him. Under pressure by marv/DP/rayn iirc. This looks the same to you? I should follow your lead on him but it seems impossible.


I disagree. Trfel last game was pretty similar to this, he did some burst of activity then vanished for a while. I was suspicious of him all the way through d1/n1 because of the structuring of his posts and they style of his activity. He was not a high volume poster and conviction was not his forte. He basically had the game figured out d3 but wasn't pushing any of it. It took me some deep diving to actually identify he was correct on everything. I think it's stupid to look into him as the quality of what he has posted has been very good so far. If he is mafia it will be hard for him to keep up as the game progresses and he has to justify hard positions and keep up appearances.

My current suspect list is palmar/jat/rels, rels being the one I feel less strongly about. Palmar looks more and more tame and awful every time he posts.

JAT: catches up to the thread but basically only ever comments on Koshi related stuff. A lot of his commentary is meaningless and his questions are not sharp. He apparently wants Koshi for mayor, but this is not a real position since koshi himself wants vivax and it doesn't seem like jat really wants it or thinks it's a realistic thing that will happen. It just fills up space and buddies up to koshi.

The logic apparently being Vivax wouldn't make such a bad play as mafia. The disconnect here is that he did the bad play regardless of his alignment but for some reason only town can be bad in people's minds. I disagree with that but I really don't know what to do about it except for complaining and offering a better alternative which is koshi right now. What am I supposed to do in your opinion, rayn?


The above post is complacent and disinterested. The reasoning for Vivax possibly being mafia is very shallow analysis and very lazily written, not trying to convince anyone.
JAT is solely focused on this mayor thing, he is not very involved and he is making no effort to actually find anyone that is suspicious. He is sticking to easy topics and being lazy in his comments. Even the mayor thing he doesn't care enough about to make any real contributions. He cares about nothing, yet he is still posting here pretending to engage.
JAT is mafia.

^ Not as thoroughly convinced as them but this is more townie behavior from sandroba IMO.



6) Trfel - I would appreciate people pointing out exactly what was so bad about their conduct on D1 because I'm not seeing it, though to be fair they have been less active for a bit and it's been dozens of pages since I read something they wrote and I caught up in one big chunk.

Hm, maybe.... I don't really know his meta but his play feels decently scummy here. I guess I can think more about this.

I read over what DarthPunk was saying, I don't think it holds much water but I also don't really know CopCake's meta so who knows.

And I don't understand why saying pregame that you would vote for Palmar and then changing your mind is a reason we should make you mayor?

I was making a joke about Vivax saying he was going to autovote Palmar pregame and then immediately changed his mind.

Imo the Mayor KP is town KP, not a oneshot Day vig. It's not about avoiding responsibility it's about giving the town a chance to pull a 2for1 on D1.

Actually I'll cement that point, if I'm not going to win the mayor vote at the end of the day, I'm not going to vote for someone who hasn't also pledged to have the town decide the lynch.

Wait do you not know that there is only 1 vote for day 1 and that’s for the mayor

I know that's a super early post (that's actually the earliest post in my "opened waiting to be revisited" tabs). I didn't like it at the time, and I still don't like it

Like, it can originate from 2 situations: town having not read the OP, or scum faking this to appear like a town having not read the OP

If it comes from town, I don't understand how you can say something as assertive as "Wait do you not know that there is X" when you should know you. I know I would never write something like this without checking it a few times and making sure I'm right

If it comes from scum, I can see it. That just means he played the "I'm clueless" card, and made a mistake by pushing it a little too hard

Does the rest of his play change anything?

No, what do you think of him?

I don't understand his read on CopCake - at 2 points in the thread we had exact opposites view her play. When she was posting tea party fluff, I thought it was pure NAI and he thought it was scummy. When she pushed DP, I thought she was scummy and he thought she looked better. I don't understand why he thought CC looked better



This is a great post.

##vote: Oats


Not to make associations early but this would imply oats and CC are mafia together right? If so what's stronger the initial case that Cake is the mafia and oats is defending her or Oats being mafia and just flip flopping for no reason?

Still think it would make more sense from your perpsective to be voting cake.


Dude, make a case on me.

I made a case on you two pages ago and after you were mad at me for not addressing my issues with you, you didn't even bother with what I wrote which makes me inclined to believe you don't really have an answer since you seem very intent on defending yourself from everyone else.

Cake do you think DP's reasoning for calling you mafia last game when you were actually mafia was good?


If I remember correctly, he called me mafia for having TMI for calling you town in a secure way. Which I applaud.

Here, I honestly do not understand or I am pretty stupid.

Anyways, that doesnt change my read on him. He is a strong, secure player. He cares for other people’s opinions like when he was town in the game Slam was mafia.

In the marvvivaxcake game, I was asking many questions, he engaged and answered. He demanded answers.

Here, I ignored him and he did nothing until Oats came and started to talk about me.

As someone who kinda “played” him, I would imagine he would try to figure me out asap. (Played as in I stayed alive and made him second guess TTT)

Thing is, DP is bravado, he has said so before such as “he controls lynches” and stuff like that.

Here, he is too quiet for the exception of calling me wolf.

As I said before, if he was interested in me he would have called me out inmediatly for ignoring him and not just when Oats came. Idk it seems like lazy mafia using “I was right last time”

Am I wrong for getting with this conclusion? This is a general question for everyone, not just Rayn.

First off the red piece is objectively wrong, DP is like a top 3 poster in this game purely on volume. Secondly I think you're completely mischaracterizing the interaction you two had a couple of pages back.




10) Palmar - I haven’t been really impressed with their play for the most part IMO. Quotes like this one stand out as particularly “meh” to me because why play if you’re not going to read/play? Seems like this is a “Meh don’t try so hard, I’m not” post, and that just leaves me with a bad taste. I know it may be hypocritical of me to say this at this juncture, but low effort town is not a good look and makes me think it might actually just be scum laying out excuses for the future. This is counterbalanced by the fact that the majority of their posts were generally alright and I generally agreed with their line of thinking, making it seem like organic townie stuff. Neutral for now, but I do think I understand why there is a train on them now; I just don’t feel as much conviction about it and don’t want to jump on the boat when there are people who I find more suspicious/less beneficial to the game.

11) justanothertownie - It almost feels suicidal to be again a the Vivax for mayor narrative so frankly I don't see JAT doing so as mafia and sticking out like a sore thumb. However, I can't put too much weight on this read and I didn't like their analyses as much as others' so I don't have much that makes them absolutely townie either, IMO. Neutral for now, because I don’t think that their head-scratcher posts were AI (though I was tempted to sheep sandroba re: JAT as quoted above).

Rayn seems reasonable so far (but him masoning marv is probably something he does as either alignment) and I agree that marv masoning sandro is a move that is more likely to come from town.
Would still prefer if people used the thread to communicate even though it would make catching up even harder.

^ Ironically I agree with basically these reads except for rayn but was an example of where I thought JAT’s opinion mostly aligned with my own, so tough to believe he might be scum. Maybe using the reads to disguise a scumbuddy in there, perhaps? Still, mostly WIFOM stuff for me.

Vivax

I know the claim was unnecessary if he has no PR. But I would say for sure never what he make such scummy slightly stupid thing as mafia. Too obvious, too high for his mafia meta. Maybe he is just a Townie but I totally understand why he did such a thing. He has trust issues and paranoia with this things you wouldn´t trust on anybody else to vote as a major. But he knows his alignment and it is for sure safer option to have as a major then anybody else right now! I hope he is blue, if not he is at least Town. And you guys know I would lynch him directly if he looks scummy to me. Did it as Town and as Mafia but right now I don´t see any reason to lynch him because he wouldn´t play like this as mafia

Town
Rels
he only has a 2 page filter but he asks very good questions and really tries to help Town. At least that's how it looks to me for now. Could change quickly of course

Sandroba
has the same energie as in the last game. Safe for now.

No it's clear rationality.

It's honestly mind boggling I have to explain.

I understand your point. I really do. It just hinges on us getting the roleblocker where there is no guarantee on. Otherwise none of this matters because most likely there is nothing else to roleblock than you....

I don't usually live long as town. There is perhaps some logic to that. I am not sure if you know this but i am 11/4 in LYLO (let it be F-3, F-5, or F-7) situations. From those games, one is where i had the correct read and i just couldnt for my life convince Oats to vote for VA over me even when the mafia dude was voting for Oats (lol). One i got right but i still consider it a loss, because i think Art/rsoul slot cheated to get me townread them and DP was mafia (RSM2).

So basically i am really fucking good when i live long enough. I just:
1) dont get to live long enough
2) dont have enough "decent people" around long enough

Both of these can be avoided this game, (2) naturally and (1) by making me a mayor.
I have never been lynched in LYLO as town, have you? Does it tell you anything about how you/me look to other people and who is more trusthworthy (if we assume we have good reads -- as i legit know you DO have good reads most of the time, later on in the game)?

The only other player i would genuinely say is on par or even perhaps better than i am late game as town is marv.


you rolled so often mafia that your mafia game is insane and i would not vote you as a mayor in any game. There is no way to confince me to vote you as major. I would rather vote on somebody who plays bad mafia. You are not a safe option for mayor def. not.

that's bullshit you have not seen me mafia aside from last game and i havent rolled mafia in like 1,5 years before that.

I actually called him a really good mafia player here and his reaction is definitely not townish.

I also prefer more mafia than town unless I get to be mafia three times in a row or so.


This feels like the awkward moment where you need to make up for possibly exposing him as scum.

Vivax, take a break please and come back. Because I think you know this can’t make sense.

You’re just annoyed at the game and people in it and it leads to posts like this.

^ Don’t want to beat it to death but I did not like these CopCake posts, I did like the Vivax and marv posts here.

Dude you think I am mafia and you are literally voting for the same person I am lynching?

Please stop blending in peoples opinions about me and get to your own conclusions.

You are also another person out of character. The first game i read from you, you were funny. Here you are acting as if you were walking on toes trying not to make a sound.



It's a parked vote didn't remember you had voted them at the time, why? Are you afraid they'll be lynched? Did you try and get away with early voting your scum buddy early and it's now scary? I see a deflection case here you think it'll be easy to lynch me to save yourself.

I could cover old ground but the reasons you seem scummy are just in the thread. DP's case you havent held up to the preasure very well. The reason for not voting you are purely semantic activity based. You'll only turn more red the more you post if you are part of the evil british army! Oh wait yeah it was the british with red coats in the Napoleonic era huh.... I guess I can be American....

Now I will say this isn't based on DP's interaction with women that I've seen. He's clearly a stud and women love him. More DP's style of interaction I've put in a box of people who are like that, and seperatally people who are like that interacting with women or woman styled men tend to cause a more stubborn reaction in that same style. So initially based on the gender change I was seeing you as less mafia.


15) Hapahauli - I don't know them but I don't think it would be smart/most people would be disinterested enough as mafia to basically ask to be modkilled. Based on others' reactions, it doesn't seem to be in this player's nature.

16) Iamperfection - I just think that like the other townreads I have, their activity was productive and is more townie than not.

^ Bringing this up when they were under no heat of their own and driving the game forward. Small stuff but there were other examples. Of course, we did end up finding out what’s going on with Rels, but this is still good IMO. Just to be clear, not strong on its own, but as part of the larger package.


17) Koshi - Like my other town reads, definitely feels like someone who is trying to push the game forward and catch mafia. We will 100% find out how good of a job they are doing in the near future as we get some flips, but for now, Koshi has been one of the more townie-sounding people I’ve read.

The logic apparently being Vivax wouldn't make such a bad play as mafia. The disconnect here is that he did the bad play regardless of his alignment but for some reason only town can be bad in people's minds. I disagree with that but I really don't know what to do about it except for complaining and offering a better alternative which is koshi right now. What am I supposed to do in your opinion, rayn?

I disagree with that mafia is on board.

When I read this thread after 18 or 20 hours in game. There was
1) not enough pressure on mafia. DP tried to put some work in but he was alone.
2) no town circle
3) a 7 page Vivax that blueclaimed and was ridiculed. While a lackluster rayn had 3 times as much votes for Mayor. (or something like that)

I am saying that mafia was content at that point in the game. And now it is our job

to find a good Mayor. (Which is Vivax because I can't read 1 good argument why he is mafia, the argument he is reckless or stupid is fake!media, it's really a shitshow argument if your alternative is rayn)

to vote mafia. Which marv initiated quite nicely & on time. Palmar needs to make a move now and if he doesn't this is a good lynch

to create a town circle. Which has not happened yet. I don't even know where to start. I think iamp/DP for their early game. I think CC because she seems full of good intentions. Somewhere there is a good start.

For the people thinking this was a good post by Palmar.

why marv should not be called mafia:
1) marv has a 7 page filter and is actually playing. That alone is enough to not call him mafia D1.
2) Palmar admits the first vote is legit on him. So that means marv came out of hiding to post a legit vote that would and could mean he had to play hard for the rest of the game if town!Palmar brought his A game. It is less likely Mafia!marv would do that because he cba. Town!marv would come out because he thinks it is the best thing to do for town. So this also leans towards a town!marv. This alone would be a good reason not to vote marv D1.
3) marv being wrong on Palmar means fuck all for his alignment. Last game, with Palmar and marv, they both wrongly tunneled Tfrel and Sandroba for 3 days straight, and townread mebaby. They were wrong 3 times, for 3 days. Both didn't catch scum rayn for those 3 days. Maybe I am slightly exaggerating but not too much. So don't think marv is flawless and it makes him mafia.

Why Palmar is mafia:
4) His reads are not good enough. The Oats read; which was at that time his top 1 mafia, was opportunistic and badly thought out. His marv read is just OMGUS and trying to discredit the person who leads his wagon.
5) He can play as a town leader, so him playing like a weasel this game points towards mafia.
6) Doing better is not hard when you start at the bottom of bottoms. It's a horrible point people are making. (calling out DP). He is at his best in this game still doing worse than he did in the previous game.

Kill Palmar.


^ Posts like these don’t feel like a mafia!Koshi would be going this hard against a townie!Palmar or defending a mafia!marv.


18) ToTheStars - I don’t find the case against them to be that strong but the difference between what they were posting like at the beginning vs. their notable absence when being pressured by a lot of others makes me think that they are hoping they are just overlooked/forgotten somehow and that people move to new targets.

19) VisceraEyes - Kinda neutral on them tbh; wouldn’t mind a reminder as to why this person might be a good lynch, because frankly I don’t recall anything too egregious.

OMG so much was not expecting so much loooool

People pretending to have reads that mean anything already are fucking awesome, like I can kinda get a read off that stuff but so many are good at faking it. You guys won't have any meaningful reads until flips happen.

I am, actively, doing jack shit. But I'm also not pushing an agenda or doing anything scummy, so energy put into lynching me is wasted.

So you want a mayor that is in here pretending with you guys. I get it. I hear you. I'm just not doing it. I'm not pretending to have reads that mean anything right now. I'm going to lynch someone who is barely posting, someone who ISN'T ME that is barely posting, and that's what I'll do as mayor. You either like that or you don't. I was hoping Slam would come in here and make you guys like it but you can't count on anyone these days.

I'll talk to you guys about who I think is mafia after I see some stuff happen in the thread that is alignment indicative. I don't think how DMB phrased something or how much Oats posted D1 or any bullshit like that is alignment indicative. I like votes, lynches, who pushes what and why. We don't have that D1. We have activity. So that's what I'm running on bish. You don't like my activity level? Then you agree with my premise and should vote me as mayor rather than someone who could be mafia.


^ I don’t think this is necessarily productive but I can also resonate with this and seems like a townie wanting to prevent a mislynch more than a cornered scum to me.


20) Rels - Maybe I’m just getting loopy at this point but I really don’t remember much of anything that Rels did. Going to not be too judgmental right now but worried about a scum taking a back seat here. Going to keep an eye out.

Update as I was writing: Seems there are family issues there, will be willing to let them live for now and hope things get better soon.

21) Alakaslam - Can't outright say they seem scummy but I certainly don't understand what the fuck they are saying most of the time, which to me means that they are not playing in town's best interest, which means I wouldn't mind seeing them gone and we might get a mafia lynch for it to boot.

FWIW I get that they went through a rough time recently; in fact IIRC I spoke to them in a blog somewhere about it. But then, why join this game? Why “play” like this? Maybe they are riding on “just Alakaslam things” as an excuse? Etc.

Yeah and you're being Oats at her.

Whatever, flavor means varyIng things to varying flavor. You can't personality read and I should give grave for that to both you and Oats.

Got it out of my system.


No slam.

Cake is legitimately scummy here.

1.) She came into the thread roleplaying and while that in itself is not scummy she also did not contribute anything at all

until

2.) I try to engage her about her reads and then she instantly calls me mafia and says I am not trying to solve the game which is:

a.) objectively untrue

and

b.) hilariously ironic for someone who had until I had asked her for reads had literally only roleplayed a tea party.

3.) she then says that she was actually playing the game with the role play and in fact was interacting with her town circle.

but

4.) Actively avoided engaging with me about her town reads or why they formed much too early in the game to be called a town circle

5.) she was caught as mafia for that exact same reason day 1 last time she was mafia.




These points are fair. And I haven't the recollection of last time she was mafia so I will have to cede that to you.


Wait

What?

Literally last game we played together i was mafia o_O

Doesn't mean I remember it.

I am in a bad divorce that had me thinking about whether I could find a country to do assisted suicide that would notify of my death but not call it a suicide so I could still give my family a life insurance payout.

Fortunately I realized how many people that would hurt, and that I was plotting a serious crime to boot.

But shit isn't going well at all for slam. So I can't remember jack shit.

^ Why are you here then? Sorry, but seriously.





The progression from this.
So Rayn, Cop and Rels stick out the most as scummy here.

Palmar, Trfel, JAT kinda nullish. He thinks Trfel did some townie things, he thinks JAT did some townie things.
The wagon situation was between the three mostly. So why does he just head for the Trfel/JAT dichotomy in the next posts and completely ignores Palmar who imo he talked about in the worst way of the three?

Hard disagree. I find people who just accept it for what it is and make the correct play in regards to him is townie.

The scummy thing is talking around in circles about how shit vivax’s claim was, that he might not be town or if he is he is not confirmed

It’s a huge waste of time and shits up the thread and is also incredibly easy content to fake.

I found palmars approach to the situation very townie for example

Are you still lock town on trfel btw?

Didn't see much of people saying he might not be town. Shitting up the thread discussing the claim being bad I agree, CopCake is the main person I saw driving the discussion back to that.
I think saying he is prob town and prob not the best mayor, at least initially is the reaction I would expect from townies. Remember, even though scum might not want something, it's hard to actually push something when you think it would be obvious anti-town. Scum wants to hide and push things in a subtle way.
Not locked town on trfel since he hasn't been very active, but wouldn't lynch him d1 in a million years. What he has posted so far after the initial setup-focused posts looked super townie to me.

I really really really don't see that.
Last game I was so sure he was town.
What is he doing here? Everytime he gets pressured he moves away from it. Slam asks him about Oats. He gives a good answer but it lacks conviction. It looks way more as a mafia seeing Town!Oats be inquisitive than a townie figuring out Town!Oats is inquisitive.
Slam then pressures on and while replying to somebody else he @slam and disengages with him.

This can't be the same Tfrel as last game? You went 4 days with him. Under pressure by marv/DP/rayn iirc. This looks the same to you? I should follow your lead on him but it seems impossible.


I disagree. Trfel last game was pretty similar to this, he did some burst of activity then vanished for a while. I was suspicious of him all the way through d1/n1 because of the structuring of his posts and they style of his activity. He was not a high volume poster and conviction was not his forte. He basically had the game figured out d3 but wasn't pushing any of it. It took me some deep diving to actually identify he was correct on everything. I think it's stupid to look into him as the quality of what he has posted has been very good so far. If he is mafia it will be hard for him to keep up as the game progresses and he has to justify hard positions and keep up appearances.

My current suspect list is palmar/jat/rels, rels being the one I feel less strongly about. Palmar looks more and more tame and awful every time he posts.

JAT: catches up to the thread but basically only ever comments on Koshi related stuff. A lot of his commentary is meaningless and his questions are not sharp. He apparently wants Koshi for mayor, but this is not a real position since koshi himself wants vivax and it doesn't seem like jat really wants it or thinks it's a realistic thing that will happen. It just fills up space and buddies up to koshi.

The above post is complacent and disinterested. The reasoning for Vivax possibly being mafia is very shallow analysis and very lazily written, not trying to convince anyone.
JAT is solely focused on this mayor thing, he is not very involved and he is making no effort to actually find anyone that is suspicious. He is sticking to easy topics and being lazy in his comments. Even the mayor thing he doesn't care enough about to make any real contributions. He cares about nothing, yet he is still posting here pretending to engage.
JAT is mafia.


I mean, this is a great post by sandroba, and an example for why I have them as one of my top town reads. I see what they're saying. I just still struggle to see JAT fighting so hard against a Vivax mayor campaign for so long because it looks so bad. Does the scum team not try to stop him and say "hey, this isn't really a good idea and looks bad?" Does JAT just ignore his scum team and go rogue? It just doesn't seem like it makes sense, and I know that they've played a lot of games... Does a veteran player really do all that, knowing the attention it will bring to their position?

So, for now, going to ##Vote: Trfel and revisit Alakaslam to see exactly when and where they cop-claimed.


He highly praises Sandro for something that is strictly a JAT case, then votes Trfel because of claim wifom.
There's going to be mafia that just mayored the claim, and mafia that didn't or even fought it. Hard truth.

There's going to be mafia that just mayored the claim, and mafia that didn't or even fought it. Hard truth.

I mean, I explained why I thought that even though sandroba's push against JAT reflects well on sandroba, I still find it too outlandish to vote JAT over Trfel who was just largely absent. If the options are JAT and Trfel and the people I townread are pushing for these two, I'm not going to pick someone else? If Trfel indeed flipped scum and I didn't vote for them at this juncture, would look pretty stupid and would make town waste a lot of time making a case against someone who I know is town (me). That's not in my best interest as town.

I guess in theory I could have tried to push harder for CopCake/rayn but there was no traction there and in the end they are just an "I can't understand this person"/D1 read, respectively. So, not much motivation to try and disrupt plans laid out by my strongest townreads.


I don't think it was as clearly cut as you put it.
I believe that anyone fighting for Trfel to be lynched in the end has a massively high probabiliy to be town while scum was mostly absent after parking. It indicates that they at least believed in what they were voting.

I don't see any indication that you believed your vote would hit mafia at any point. You just walked into the store and grabbed your preferred lynch among the shelves that people put closest to you and walked out. Where's any conviction behind what you said? No second guessing yourself ?

As I see it you had Palmar as scummiest of the three but you avoided bringing him up again. But you could have in accordance with what others wanted. I know I might have saved a mafia by not wanting him dead, but I also committed. You didn't when he was the closest option to JAT and Trfel which you found scummier than the two in my understanding.

As for not pushing rayn and cop instead, one can let it slide but you actually got handed a decent amount of trust anticipation based on your good looking list, initially. Why the expectation that you shouldn't have had thread pull?

Do you not make anything of Rayn first pushing Palmar now backing off while Palmar is doing exactly the opposite?

As for Sandro your enthusiasm about his post casing JAT is simply conflicting with the vote on Trfel. Additionally he was very much not wanting to kill Trfel.
If you say you wanted to sheep your townreads and you go all 'woah, this guy is killing it' it'd look better if you voted with him and not the counterwagon.

Looking at the VC three wasted their votes of which two probably could have done so because they got frustrated about lacking thread pull.

Either rayn is simply town here and we're dealing with:

Palmar, JAT, VE, DMB, Jealous + MZ maybe but can't get a read + Rels maybe but he's just doing less than usual which is offputting.

Or he's not and one of those is actually town.

Just putting it out there.

I believed in the town!people who believed that the Trfel vote would hit mafia more than I believed that scum!JAT would paint a target on his back by pushing against your claim/town nature so strongly, and more than I believed in my analysis after catching up on 100+ pages (versus the analysis of people who digested the information in real-time).


Tsk.Tsk.
But you put copcake into your scumreads.

You can't sell to anyone in this game that copcake put less effort than JAT into doubting my claim and making me mafia and at the very least it's the same degree of effort.

Why didn't you use this type of argument on her like you did on JAT if it's all it took to make you favour Trfel over JAT?

I believe this makes you caught buddy.

Not just that:

Why are you trying to keep this useless trash nai discussion going CopCake?


This is a post you wholeheartedly agreed with. But the useless nai trash discussion is also what you used to justify not voting JAT.

He cleared JAT for not wanting me mayor
He scumread cop although she did the same

He applied an universal reason for a townread selectively

Looking at the VC three wasted their votes of which two probably could have done so because they got frustrated about lacking thread pull.

Either rayn is simply town here and we're dealing with:

Palmar, JAT, VE, DMB, Jealous + MZ maybe but can't get a read + Rels maybe but he's just doing less than usual which is offputting.

Or he's not and one of those is actually town.

Just putting it out there.


Okay and if you take yourself out of the equation, what do you think of those that remain in this list ?

Which one could you see yourself lynching tomorrow ?

Hmm. I guess I'd say that my perception of the following improved overall:

Palmar
JAT
rayn (improved relative to me gut-scum-reading him in my initial reads list, but not too much)

My perception of the following did not:

VE
DMB
MZ
Rels

Between the above I found DMB and VE to be the more erratic and thus unhelpful posters for the most part. Rels and MZ just haven't done much recently in general, though I guess VE can be added to that list too; VE's posts over the last 24 hours are just a big fat nothingburger. MZ at least seems to be trying to catch up after a shitty day so I can be patient there at the moment. Rels, similar story, though I agree with whoever said that they would have "lynched over half the game" over Trfels.

So, TLDR, I guess my top contenders from that list would be VE and DMB, followed by probably rayn (though I do want to give them more time to work on things, as I mentioned before, I did like how they approached the CopCake discussion overnight).

As for names outside of that list, I think TTS and CopCake both deserve a mention.


It‘s a bit in contrast to this very recent opinion

Hmmm. I can see it as potentially scum!Rayn trying to push a lynch on Palmar then backing off of it when they saw it wasn't happening any time soon, and town!Palmar catching onto this and/or having other reasons for scumreading Rayn. However, I'll have to take a look at their filters to see what the actual timing and pacing of what you said is. Would rather see it with my own eyes than take your word for it.

I‘m thinking Palmar + JAT might have both been mafia yesterday.

Marv + Sandro surviving or not will clear that up.
If they both die I‘m eating that NK wifom.

TTS not voting is sorta townie. He might get modkilled.

You know kinda agree. Would almost prefer a vig shot to tell us something wild a vig shot on TTS is safe but it doesn't really tell us anyone's alignment.


DP calling for a vig on TTS makes me paranoid about DP tbh. Also that he softened up my push on Jealous.

There‘s nothing townie about cop‘s reads. Nothing.
I operate under the assumption she wants to be recruited by mafia to have a chance at the wincon.

Mafia inside Marv/Oats/Jake/Cake and mix in a couple of hiding lurkers. Dealers choice. I think the game ends in town victory, even if you lot lynch me tomorrow.

I'm sorry I couldn't give this game the time it deserves, my weekend starts tomorrow so I'll at least fight my lynch if I live the night.

Good luck urybody.

Hi

Oats

I take everything back

When you are mafia, you have to take what you can get

Even mafia didn't believe my claim. Or they just... had a better blue shot. Props to mafia team.
