page 1 wall ewIn post 11, joqiza wrote:A bit about me, since I love talking about myself:
I play on EpicMafia. It's a live chat / browser mafia site, but we have a burgeoning forum community, too. I ended up liking forum maf to the point that I pretty much play it exclusively now.
I think my posting style can be--pretty spammy, honestly? I'm a product of my environment. Playing on MS feels like playing mafia in a country club, versus playing on EM, which feels like playing mafia in a back alley behind a seedy restaurant. On EM we meta constantly, we AtE, and there's usually at least one OGI incident or modkill per game. (I won't do any of that here.) No one knows how to host properly and we don't have any kind of setup review, so games are usually some kind of wild, unbalanced PR madness. It's really fun.
I have two game on MS, one on this acc (a scum game), and one on a hydra (a town game). The hydra's name is Oromis. I can also dig up plenty of EM games, if people want to see them. Tbh, I haven't gotten that much value out of metadiving people. But they're there, if other people want them.
Looking forward to playing with everyone.- Lost

I was thinking about voting you last night, but in the end didn't really feel the need to. I was pretty sure people were going to come back in here and react to the Page 2 content. A vote felt ceremonial.In post 65, Billy Pilgrim wrote:

RVS is still a bit awkward to me. We don't really do it so much on our home site. Rather, we ask each other questions and we vote when we feel something. I don't really scumread you yet. You just ended up being M when I put a gun to my own head.- Lost

even more antitown is just saying random reads are bad instead of asking for reasons for reads.In post 103, Donempire wrote:
Its anti town, and i dont think people should be indulging in throwing out random reads for the sake of it.

On another note, i dont like penguin/lost/almost just tossing people into the town pile. I think its frankly too early to do anything like this and im sure at least one of them is scum. Town wouldnt, or at least shouldnt feel comfortable tossing everyone they see into townpile just 4 pages into a game.
Whatever. Its 1 am, i just want to say that yeah its pretty anti town- Lost

what do you think of his posting recently? or rather, what do you think of his non page-1 posts?In post 117, joqiza wrote:
I don't have one. He turned up "M" in a gut-read exercise that I've been doing in my games recently. If I had to say why, it's probably because his opening line was addressing another player, in a way that felt like it might be comfy for scum. I don't actually put much stock into a page 1 read. I just posted it to get people talking about something. Start of the game felt anemic to me.In post 111, Lost wrote:also can you better explain your read on billy- Lost

yes, do elaborate more.In post 126, joqiza wrote:In terms of just his posts, there hasn't been much to sway me on his alignment. He has some simple questioning. It doesn't do much for me. I don't know what any of his reads are yet. I assume he will share at some point, and at that point I can start trying to dissect him.
In terms of associatives, I made a note to myself to keep an eye on him/Nona. I don't necessarily think this is a viable team yet, just noticed some weird stuff. On phone now so posting is a pain but will elaborate more in a bit.
would be nice to give a brief readlist if possible, be it now or later- Lost

"my thoughts are the exact same thoughts of PP"In post 139, Almost50 wrote:I mean.. I still don't see where the implication of ANYTHING regarding dong came from? YOU asked about dong. I did NOT respond to that part AT ALL. I only responded to the part about you requesting to hear more from me by telling you I am PP's loyal servant and humble slave.
by that u meant: my thoughts on the game are the same as PP's thoughts on the game
i asked you "what are your thoughts on dong", and thus when i read that line what i got was: my thoughts on dong are the exact same thoughts i have on PP
which is what i said in 136 but let's move on from this

his intro def set the context for how i read his posts. actively(not the right word but i can't find the appropriate one) jumping off the wagon seems like a newbtown mindset, in that having a wagon grow too fast could potentially end the day early.In post 145, Billy Pilgrim wrote:What made that a town post?

I think their posting is down to earth while not being fluffish. I can say the same for joq, but for different reasons. I like posts like 117 and 126. Its also a slight townlean there.
As for the rest, if i had to lynch right now i'd go with almost or penguin.
That leaves me, you and nona. I have no thoughts on nona. I dont think i have enough info to make a lean on you.
also maybe explain more about why almost and penguin- Lost

this isn't addressed to me, but i read all of them and none of them feel particularly well substantiated. or more specifically, none of them are substantiated enough for me to want to use them to educate my current reads. too many reaches with too little evidence, and most importantly, they're all associative tells before any flips, which makes them even less useful.In post 179, joqiza wrote:Did you read my case on Almost/Penguin?

i don't see how its a fence-sit, and while i do see your point about it being a consensus read, that doesn't necessarily mean they're lazyscum. you could argue it that way, but it could also be them actually having that read and not feeling the need to explain it. i don't see any strong scum mindset here.In post 197, Almost50 wrote:
This is both a fence-sit and going with the flow. At least 3 people had stated a TR on joq by this time, and at least one stated a TR on PPIn post 101, Nona wrote: i got town vibes from joqiza and pp's interaction earlier.
i agree that this line of questioning is unhelpful, but i would argue 108 is pretty town given the slightly more condescending-ish tone she uses in 102. tonal read hereIn post 197, Almost50 wrote:In post 102, Nona wrote:do you mean that an outside observer could not get as much info from the conversation despite that they can read every word of it as well?
These two posts accomplish nothing. The first is a question and the second is a reiteration of the answer Nona got for that question. Now what do we get from that? What does NONA get from it?? NOTHING.In post 108, Nona wrote:oh i see. you mean unless lost has the same thoughts as penguin's regarding joqiza's thoughts early on he shouldn't have the same read.
pretty fair point here, although i still struggle to see how it's non-committal. if youre referring to how she barely explains her reads, then i'm inclined to think its her playstyleIn post 197, Almost50 wrote:
Non-committal. (Hint: If Nona is Scum Pilgrim could very well be their partner)In post 175, Nona wrote:could use some more analysis. i like his questions though, and his approach to joqiza on post 65 was nice.
P.S. Yes, I know I said I kind of TR Pilgrim, but that's an independent read and ignoring associatives because we didn't flip Nona yet.
also pretty fair point here, especially the 180 on penguinIn post 197, Almost50 wrote:
A couple of people questioned the TRs on PP, so the read conveniently changed here.

hi billy i read this 4 times and my brain fell out of my earsIn post 218, Billy Pilgrim wrote:Side note, I like the way dong answered my concerns about it, but ... im concerned because that's what I do as scum. I tend to interrogate the scumreads and like see if parts of it are valid. So im a bit confused how if you think im misrepresenting a sort of playstyle you have that makes me town.
I realize that I didn't vote there after the last votecount and this hasn't really given me a reason to townbin you.
VOTE: Dong
Also, I looked at that game with Umlaut, but didn't see what you were referring to. Can you point me to your back and forth? I'll admit I didn't read the whole game, I was more looking for your early posts because here you seemed to rocket the game out of RVS and I picked up in your town games that you tend to suspect people that do that.
can you clarify:
"i tend to interrogate the scumreads and see the parts that are valid" - is this what you refer to when you say "im concerned because that's what i do as scum", and if so, where was this point brought up in your interaction with dong? if it isn't, then what are you actually referring to
what does not voting dong have to do with not townbinning nona(are you referring to nona?)
and...who is the whole last para directed to? dong?- Lost

i can kind of see what you're saying with this, considering i just finished a game with scumPP. what would be the differences between his town play and scum play?In post 244, Almost50 wrote:
As I said, activity+substance. PP's posting is designed to make him survive longer than "his partner". Billy is being active and tackling many, making him more likely to be either wagoned or investigated. Nona (assuming she is scum with PP) is also inviting the Cop investigation to her over PP.In post 231, joqiza wrote:Also, how are you reading for scum PR? Just proclivity to bussing?
although i haven't meta'd any of his town games, i would think his posting activity would be consistent between the both of them(based on how you describe PP in 243), but i feel his content this game is already more substantial than the one i just finished with him.- Lost
