This is the newbie queue. SEs are experienced players. There are some things that I cannot lie about as an SE. These are site meta, how to play, how to use the site etc.

If I failed to explain something please let me know. Also, I do believe in my skim you felt I was "mean". That's not a function of being an SE. In fact that's not good you feel that way.

Do consider the SE hat more town-indicative, but since then she's changed her tone.

Titus, don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. I want to believe you're town, but I don't like how you shut down my theory and flat-out refused to case Cheeky when I asked you to. Which should be the bare minimum if you want to push a counterwagon in opposition of a wagon you staunchly disliked. You proceeded to call my and LL's push on Phoenix as "poor townplay," then voted for Phoenix's wagon instead of convincing players to vote for your preferred Cheeky wagon.

I admit that I'm a player not quite at the standard I'd like to be, but I'm trying to improve. If you're town, all I ask is that you help me see where you're at.

I know my theory is poorly-constructed. But it's all I've got, because if I'm honest with you, I haven't had a clue how to approach this game. That's why I'm asking you to case your reads, because you're more experienced than the rest of us and feel you'd be really helpful if you wanted to be.

Don't think scum!Karnage says this, but he's mentally left the game either way if his lack of response to requests for reads indicates anything.

Intent to hammer in ~6 hours, or someone else can do so to squeeze as much time out of the deadline as possible.

This is a fair request for an explanation.

First, I don't really do "cases" when there's flat out not enough evidence to case. My Cheeky and Karnage reads were tonal at first. If there was something more to case, I would have. I just don't believe in upselling what isn't there.

I had been trying to convince players to vote Cheeky all day. I changed to Phoenix solely because we needed a lynch at deadline. No lynch is just flat out terrible. A no lynch should not happen in the newbie queue barring conftown claiming and no time to change wagons.

I have been playing long enough to know my reads get better with time and data to support them. Right now, I have three scumreads but only two possible scum (Cheeky, Karnage, TSE).

I want to see what Cheeky's sub does.

Do not expect my reads to be better or more accurate because I am an IC. I prefer to keep my hands off D1 and asses what happened and why. Early game is my weakest point.

Day 1 is less about being right but observing the motivations of people imo. To me, if I get the best out of town, we win, even if my reads aren't so hot.

Strong enough gut ping for you to move off the rvs wagon prior to reaction from Tapi. Hmm.
I can see a newbie mafia trying to cover up another mafia that way. But a SE player likely wouldn't be doing that, right?
I am a big fan of this entrance.

He's come in with the "two votes on me" thing without feeling necessarily obliged to act on it or do anything to alter the situation & this as an analytical post feels sincere and doesn't feel overstated.

Often newbie scum feel a pang of anxiety at being lolwagoned at the start of their first game. Often experienced scum playing in a new environment feel compelled to flex and show their stuff and overdisplay their {analytical, manipulative} prowess

This guy is posting pretty fast and doesn't seem all that phased

It's pretty subconscious but I think it's a reasonable confidence anti-survivalism tell
