Would scum!Datisi say this? I don't think it serves him any value as scum here.
I really like this kind of thinking and have early townreads on both midway and datisi (maybe this will change, who knows!)

I understand the value of questions like that. I use that strategy myself.

However, the problem here is there was really almost no content in the game when you started doing this. You can't catch scum in the RVS stage like that because there aren't any interactions to check the results against, nor does it move the game forward. That's why it comes across as fake to me.
You are using a disagreement on mafia theory to imply Shoshin is being inauthentic

I'm not really feeling Shoshin as mafia right now.

I think it's incredibly low-value for Shoshin to do a "DV will save me!" plea as scum because I as annoyed town could easily say "uh I played with Shoshin once what's she talking about?"

Somewhat ironically my discomfort with the Shoshin wagon and my (probable) townread on Shoshin has nothing to do with Shoshin's meta. I just don't think she is mafia.

ah, that wouldn't be a reason for me to townread you though imo

Your play here is actually a bit different from what I remember of you from that game. I also think I remember hardcore thinking you were mafia only to change my mind before the end?

(@Shoshin)

Also I think noraa needs to be considered as a candidate for mafia, though I need to do a reread to confirm.

ABR and VP are also making me nervous.

Cakez is calling people "scumlord" something that you often do?

I need to ask because it's an irrational scumtell for me.

(Also I kind of just want to lynch Noraa, is that bad?)

I would perhaps slightly prefer a noraa vote here but I can get behind the cakez wagon.

I must admit I don't think that it's impossible for cakez/iv/abr to all be town and if cakez is town I would likely not support a view that it incriminates abr or iv.

Honestly, Cakez just had me at "scumcake" :P

Im not convinced that any person’s two scum games will look exactly the same.
When I quickly skimmed your posts I didn’t actually see much significant difference that made me think woah Noraa is town.
I disagree with the expectation that I need to read someone’s previous games before having a read of someone in this game.

I feel like you are trying to discredit my suspicion of you when I am clearly not actually at home and don’t have the time to respond to posts constantly and you know that.

I have no idea why I should actually think that noraa is town

Scum!me has fucking solo carried my team thru 5 mislims in a row before. Is everyone just gonna think this big ass mess is scum!me.

I literally don't care that my only reason for being town is "too far out of scum meta" cuz that reason ALONE MAKES ME OBVTOWN AS FUCK
You are both bragging about how good your scum game is and implying that you can’t expand your scumrange

I am confirming my reads now yeah, but I don't see it as being super important if the outcome of the day is decided anyway.

DV's Tears:

[Datisi, innocentvillager, ABR]
[Iconeum, petapan]
[midwaybear, Gamma Emerald]
[VP Baltar, SirCakez]
[Noraa]

Some of these are based only on impressions from what I've read, and some who were more fuzzy to me I have done an ISO skim to refresh. I will be giving further thoughts on some of these reads shortly.

IV and ABR being at the top is based on their roles and their play around the roles. Prior to the claims, both slots were questionable to me in terms of gameplay, but the way that the claims emerged and how they have used their claimed roles to influence their view on the game feels organic and fits the kind of logic that I would expect from town.

Datisi is the kind of slot that I am naturally paranoid about. Posting that seems natural and effortless has fooled me before! But I do not want to sound fence-sitty about Datisi, and more importantly, I don't want to FEEL fence-sitty about Datisi. Is there anything about Datisi's posting that causes me to doubt he is town? No. Is there anything that I would expect him to differently as town? No. There are multiple points in reading the game where I have felt that a post from Datisi indicates he is town and if this somehow became a Shoshin situation I could try going back and finding them but for now I am satisfied with this read. I am not fence-sitting I swear!

--

Iconeum's talking around their role feels low-effort and unnecessary from scum (in a similar vein to what Datisi was thinking in a recent post). It's difficult to explain the Iconeum read beyond this, but I kind of like comparing Iconeum to VP Baltar in my head. Where VP's questioning often seems like questions for the sake of questions (more on this later) and to fulfill a certain expectation, Iconeum's posting comes across to me more as just posting whatever they're thinking.

Petapan - I like their expressed frustration with the Shoshin-elim day and not getting to post. I have considered the possibility that this is mafia pretending to care but honestly that doesn't seem like petapan's vibe to me. is [oddly] interesting to me because I think that mafia here just ask the questions instead of talking about how they're going to. Also pretending to have notes in is just not the kind of fake effort I expect from petapan as mafia. (Just some examples of posts by petapan that have stuck out to me)

--

Midwaybear - I don't have too much to say. There are some things I like as his posting often seems to do the opposite of appease, and I find the general snark endearing okay?

Gamma - It's kind of nice how the recent move from Cakez to Noraa kind of mirrors my own. I would like to think that Gamma appearing AFFECTED by certain things happening in this game is town but I can't help but worry that there is a degree of pretending there.

--

VP Baltar - I'm honestly so underwhelmed by this slot. There seems to be an over-focus on how much people have posted/how often, which in a fairly high-tempo, high post frequency game like this I think is a lot less important, but something easy for mafia to focus on. Questions often feel more forced (e.g. ) as if they're coming from a mafia mindset of "hmmm... I should ask a probing question now". I think overall though it's VP's general positioning in the game that is concerning me. He is mediating, asking questions, posting opinions, but there is a real lack of anything there that convinces me he is as invested as town would be. He feels distant, safe, indifferent in some ways.

SirCakez - Didn't concern me much from memory on Day 1 but the main basis of my read is actually the reaction to the events of Day 2. I think there is certainly genuine frustration there but a post such as feels especially desperate because ABR's play seems obviously erratic in a way that would occur as either alignment. seems a little too over the top as a show of townie-ness. There is lingering uncertainty, but there always is I suppose.

--

Noraa - I have gone back and forth on this a bit in my head, wondering if noraa as town could actually get this stressed out in response to pressure. But I always come back to thinking of Noraa as mafia. The biggest things for me are:
- The reaction to the Shoshin claim switch. It did not seem like a natural town response and much more like from someone who knew Shoshin was town and wasn't sure how to react.
- The more recent approach to my slot, going from OTT claims that my slot is obviously going to be found out as mafia to getting super bothered by me pointing out inconsistencies and inaccuracies in her posting.

Your reads are pretty dire
Cakez was eliminated without me even being needed on the wagon. Most of the game considered ABR to be town day 2. I also correctly townread Shoshin in contrast with the rest of the game.

I am disappointed in having some wrong takes but I don’t know why you think I stand out in this way.

I went back and looked

Your 'defense' on Shoshin is painfully thin, and you ignore the wagon for hundreds of posts until it gets eliminated

All the while you're not actually voting for anybody

You were definitely just sitting back and watching things happen

With sircakez: You only voted for them and my slot, the wagon going through without you doesn't matter because you were clearly calling them scum and blending in

Other players thought ABR is town isn't a defense
Re: Shoshin you seem to be conveniently ignoring that the period of me “just sitting back and watching things happen” occurred over the space of less than 12 hours (most of which I wouldn’t even normally be awake for) and only a few RL days after the beginning of the game itself.

Me saying that most people thought ABR was town isn’t a defence, it’s more pointing out why your reason for suspecting me is not very specific to me

This is difficult for me to decide as well and I’ve sort of been saving it for after the ABR flip. Neither mwb nor gamma have inspired strong feelings in me either way. I’d probably choose to vote gamma if I absolutely had to make a decision now because gamma’s read progression and stances feels more fabricated but I am certainly not holding myself to that decidion

all I can say is that I am town and I know I haven't done anything magnificent this game but tbh it's been rough ever since Shoshin was eliminated out of nowhere (I admit that after the claim shenanigans it was a forgone conclusion though).

I don't know exactly what people have expected of me that I haven't delivered, but I am actually seriously worried about being eliminated here because I don't know if town recovers from it.

(okay in some ways it would be a relief but I want to try too, you know?)

I think Dunn is a prime example of scumbuddy who saw team-mate ABR as a goner and so gave up on him, only to jump to juicy alternative option (me) as soon as it looked possible that ABR might survive. Because it is not consistent with how Dunn has been talking about the game.

I'm town

I've also been very lost since the ABR flip and I'm having to re-evaluate everything right now.

I will be working on this in the coming days and sharing my thoughts for whoever care to see it.

I know that my chances of getting to the end of the game WITHOUT being eliminated seem incredibly slim right now but I'm going to give it a red hot go!

Here's the thing...

I don't think midway and peta are scum together

Which means it would be to be one of those two, plus gamma, plus iconeum

And that seems less likely to me than it being you

So yes @iconeum
I'm wondering if we've both been town this whole time

What does a convincing solve look like if we're both town
After what happened Day 3 I have to really rethink what a convincing solve even is.

Obviously things have been very wrong and probably every town player has been missing something.

I am expecting that Gamma will actually be where I look first today but I would like more time before pushing that.

okay
Obvious stuff, but it would have been much better for scum to have ABR go through as a lynch rather than me. From scum PoV I am someone that could be easily elim'd later whereas ABR had much more potential to redeem himself.

The same could honestly be said even from a PoV of you thinking I'm scum.

Does anyone have strong feelings that Ico is town? Ico's always given me a town feel here and seems to be one of the more townread slots throughout but going with Ico town probably ends up leaving me with a Gamma/MWB/Dunn scumteam which doesn't quite

This reads like ur shopping for a flip, or like

testing the waters where you can push

Why is IV town for you?
I realised I missed this but honestly I don’t know. I’m at the point where I’m just thinking which scumteam outcomes would be too weird and honestly IV makes for really strange scum here.

After a few flick-throughs, my choice of vote would be midway I think. There's hardly anything there that I find difficult to think of as coming from scum. In everyone else, there's something that gives me pause.

My main reason for strongly considering you as town is your assumption that ABR was scum Day 3 actually felt very real. Colour-blocking ABR as red in my reads list would be a bold scum move, plus I think that your play this day phase is town motivated.

I’m sort of in a similar place to you regarding Ico. They’re reaction to me considering them as scum seemed a bit freak-outy and too much like attempting to discredit me. I think that you and I could have easily been seen as two juicy mis-elim candidates for scum which would explain ico’s strong angling for us.

Mwb feels like he’s just trying not to put a toe out of line but he also just doesn’t seem to care. Not in an unmotivated way, but in a truly doesn’t care sort of way. Why does he not scumread me here after voting me over ABR the previous day? Is he scared to push too hard for a mis-elim. The complaining about me/gamma did not feel genuine.

I suppose gamma is quite possibly scum here, trying to distance from the rest of his team. I still have doubts but I think we’re shockingly aligned at the moment Dunn

I can definitely see why you might think that and as I’ve implied earlier I’m so used to being a scumread here that it doesn’t really bother me. I will keep posting and keep trying and we will see what happens!

That is essentially what I’m saying yes. He was ready to vote and now he’s going to “skim through ISOs”. I don’t buy it

No worries IV. I realise I may have been a bit obstructive.

You’re right about that being the scumteam I think is most likely. I’m most confident in mwb being scum and probably least confident in gamma right now.

The more I think about it, the more I am coming around to Dunn being town.

I have mild paranoia about peta, but only mild.
I also have mild paranoia about you.

I can’t do a super clear ordering of who I would put as replacement scum out of you/peta/Dunn as it kind of changes in my head. And it would be a particularly harsh blow if Dunn is actually scum and I’ve been convinced out of it. But, I would like to think that my re-evaluation has been for the better rather than for the worse

In post 2889, innocentvillager wrote:sorry that was supposed to be spoilered

anyway, the people who have been coasting today are:

innocentvillager (partly on purpose)
Iconeum (not even, just V/LA)
petapan (idk, he's just been paranoia/unsure or is faking it)
Dunnstral (but this is typical NAI Dunnstral)
midwaybear - they're ready to vote/have the solve and haven't been trying to push more discussion
DeasVail - they've been coasting all game, acknowledging that they haven't really done a ton this game, but still continuing to coast
Gamma - has given up
Dunn hasn't really coasted, they have pushed their scumread from DV away into Gamma, now teaming up with their prior top scumread because ??
peta's been ?? for sure, but i just see a lost townie there
mdw is either straight out scum or a newbie town here. I've seen both in players before.
DV has absolutely been coasting all game, and IIRC he isn't even surprised about Dunn's change of heart?
Gamma at least tried to reach out to me and work things through, which is more then I can say about most of these live players
Why would I be surprised about Dunn’s change of heart when I also had a change of heart? I mean, it is a pleasant surprise I guess, but town-me is not going to take issue with Dunn suddenly townreading me in this sort of situation. As Dunn said, it’s much easier to just keep the scumread. I think even me/Dunn scumpair is very unlikely when I think continuing to bus each other leads to victory a higher % of the time.

I also think you’re only saying I’m coasting because that’s what other people have said.

Uh I legit forgot about daytalk. (I don’t want anyone to read into this as a town tell or trying to town tell or anything like that. Seriously, please don’t)

I was reminded of my newbie game on the site where I had the thrill of quick hammering with my partner for the win and I did it so awkwardly and it was so nerve-wracking and aaaahhhh!

(I don’t know what newbie games are like nowadays but we definitely didn’t have daytalk back then.

PEdit: regarding Dunn, it really was the ABR flip and the shock of that (although it probably shouldn’t have been in hindsight) that really caused me to rethink things. I had ABR and Noraa/Dunn as a team that made so much sense in my eyes at the time. And for the reasons I thought Dunn made so much sense as a partner for ABR (dismissing him as caught scum, then moving off him to vote me) I thought Dunn made less sense after the flip
