You're in luck--I'm in the same mindset I was when I listed you as a townread!

That is to say, rather notably tired.

This mindset isn't the most productive to explaining things but it's the only mindset I can be in to explain the read since it was a read born of this mindset. :P

Basically I didn't intentionally have you as deliberately-unsorted, but I noticed that I wasn't making any effort to really sort you.
In my bout of tiredness, when catching up on the game and reading your posts around that time and the ones from shortly before then that were fresh on mind even though I had read them, I basically liked what I was seeing you do in spite of having the knowledge that I probably shouldn't but the gut-townread from what I was seeing was still there all the same.

Your contributions to this game just look town, mostly. Are they? Ehhh...probably not, it wouldn't surprise me if the people who actually know how to read you well would say you've done nothing that is strongly alignment indicative. And not gonna lie some of your earlier posting did look suspicious but in the very-brief "I am scumreading everyone in this game" sort of way where I realize I'm basically not townreading anyone and force a reset of standards to 'okay reset them to null then just work from there'. But the posting around the time I posted the townread on you was posting that I liked the mindset behind of as being something that it looked like it was genuinely trying to solve the game in.
Well, I'm getting scolded by my team that maybe you could be town and I HATE talking to scum
do you have a town post that stood out to you?

I posted on Sunday.
I might not have been on-site at all yesterday but Sunday to Tuesday isn't two days without posting, it's just one.

The only time I'd have been able to do this was at the time I made the original list.
I can guess. The post was made at , it was thus posts before then--the combo of /. .
Maybe the fluff posts like and , I can townread stuff like that, but I seem to vaguely recall it was game content not fluffposting but I am in the tired mindset now and 478, 435, and similar look town to me now so maybe I was in the tired headspace then and townread them then even though my vague memory recalls it being game-content-posting rather than fluffposting.
and . . . . + . . .

I could check back further than that but I
think
that's about where the townread started? Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was earlier and there was more stuff earlier which contributed, but to my vague memory that seems to be where I recall having it start, around the Klick wagon you more or less started and what you were doing there.

In post 769, Menalque wrote:I am kind of caught up but with the corollary that I've been skimming mastina's walls
I've made a grand total of four posts that were walls. One the initial team assessment relevant to this game, one the case on Bitmap, one the response to Jingle's "defense" of Bitmap, and a fourth where I did self-meta.

I haven't been walling this game at all.
In post 771, Menalque wrote:mastina, you said this was something you could talk about, so can you
Sure.
Your posts are all incredibly obvtown. Everything you have done is tremendously, insanely, town. You radiate town every single step of the way with everything you have been doing.

So obviously, you are a strong townread.

...

...Except, I'll confess.

Everything I said above is true--you're incredibly obvtown, everything you've done is insanely town, you radiate town every step of the way...
...But I admit there is a lie, in the "so obviously you are a strong townread" part, because I know you're a damn good scum player and probably nothing you've done is truly out of your scum range in spite of just how insanely town it looks.

So why then when I know you are a strong scum player are you still that strong townread?

...Blind faith. I just have faith that you will be so obvtown that you might become conftown.
Mind you, that faith is not absolutely unwavering; on a later day (say, D2), it could be shaken, or it could be confirmed to be worthy and the conviction will deepen. Basically, it's trust that your alignment will be clear given time, while still giving the strong townread because I felt like it I guess.

And I think that thought comes from scum. :]

Speaking of thoughts tho--Xtoxm took a brief look but got bogged down in trying to form reads. He did say Ali looked town, and that mena/chemist/jingle looks concerning, but later Mena stuff looks okay. No thoughts from Pine tho.

Realtalk I did more or less come to the conclusion that in the unlikely event Bitmap were somehow town (he's not), that scum would indeed have at least one person in the middle. Shadoweh was one of the ones I thought of sure enough but I also considered I think it was you and ofhrz?

There were a total of three players who I thought fit the mold and if you assume Bitmap is town (I do not), then that grouping does have significant scum equity.

In contrast, if Bitmap is scum as I assume, that group is incredibly unlikely to contain scum and I would think them all town.

I have the logs to prove the opposite come postgame and can paraphrase them now for proof of how that's the polar opposite of my approach as scum.

In post 868, Jingle wrote:I haven't actually seen mastina scum firsthand in a long time.
Nobody has. :P
It's been over 20 games without a scumastina role PM so nobody not even me has seen her as scum in a long time.
In post 868, Jingle wrote:I think the most recent of those is 2 years old.
I mean that was pretty much the last time I randed scum so it's not really as if that meta's got more recent examples, so much as it is that's literally the most recent you've got because more recent scumgames don't exist.

I don't get scum role PMs anymore for whatever reason. Which I am fine with since I prefer playing town anyway and it allows me to practice my game better anyway.
In post 874, Bitmap wrote:mastina is bringing up non-existant scum games from before my site flake (over 5 years ago) and the fact that I am sheeping RC.
Funny, I feel like I've addressed these points before.

...Maybe because I have?

In post 879, Jingle wrote:(she's more than capable of doing all of this as scum)
I mean I'm really not; in theory sure, scumastina can do anything because theoretically nothing's out of my scum range, but in practice that doesn't hold true because there's a difference between what scumastina could theoretically do and what scumastina actually will do given her capabilities and this is way way WAY outside of my scumrange.
In post 878, Bitmap wrote:okay but yet I get to be ignored when I called out mastina's shitty push on me? zzzzz
When what you're saying I did wasn't what I actually did?

Yeah.

Defending town does not make a slot town least of all when the defense of the town slot has a greater scum motivation behind it than any possible town motivation.

You would have god-tiered luck if this contained so much as two scum considering I'd consider you incredibly lucky to find so much as one within.

Perhaps you should go back to look it up like you did the other thing. :]
In post 914, Jingle wrote:The demoralization of being BOP'd reads as genuine.
Of course it was genuine, that doesn't make it town least of all when it is weaponized to sell a narrative which is objectively demonstrably not true to what has happened in the game.

In post 1075, Alisae wrote:has she posted since she was last here?
mastina.
Unlike some paranoid fucks, the last time I visited the site is public information available by accessing my profile. I'm not a coward who hides my online status so anyone checking my profile can clearly as day see when I was last around.

If you ever doubt its accuracy (which is fair enough, it's not data I'd call particularly reliable), then a simple search of my site history in posting will help to confirm the data. In this case, to answer: as a matter of fact, no.

I was last here Sunday, in this game.
I took Monday off.
I didn't plan on taking Monday off, but I did for whatever god knows stupid reason. Well, there most definitely wasn't a reason. I never once thought, "I'm not going to go on mafiascum today", I just didn't, so I took a one-day unscheduled unplanned break from mafiascum and am behind on everything as a consequence. (And that would be why I am bitter about the prod. I understand if you take two days off, if you're absent for two whole days, getting a prod...but it WASN'T two days. I posted on Sunday, and today is Tuesday. That's ONE day of not posting and I got a fucking prod. Which means I'll have to force a post every single fucking day because of the stupid-ass three prod strike rule and I am not happy about that.)

@hito: Your latter point about Menalque trying to actively influence the gamestate with his vote/convincing people to join him doesn't do much for me. Probably because in two of the three games I've played semi-recently, Menalque was scum who did this liberally and made it a core part of his strategy. He is acutely aware that playing this way gets him townread.

The first point is interesting. I haven't seen that towntell in action before, so I'm not confident in its strength, but I get it in theory. I'm fine with leaving Menalque for later at least.

There have been enough incidental things that have set off alarms about his posts to me that I think this could just be scum. And it feels like plenty of people have had minor-yet-valid points against him without there being a proper push, which is concerning.
I don't read his solving as genuine, and that's the biggest reason I'd be happy to lynch here today.
