this phrasing also pinged me, because it sounds like Clover Ebi is thinking more about what is acceptable to push/sell instead of what may be indicative of alignmentIn post 22, Clover Ebi wrote:I think realistically this isn't something we can really push and if Blair is scum this isn't gonna be the selling point."I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever.

Scum lynched me day 1 when I was in the corner and they were in the exact position on the board as t-bone, and they wonIn post 48, GuiltyLion wrote:hey everyone!
So I actually played in a run of this setup before (the one Dunn was in, as well as our glorious mod Umlaut), where scum didn't kill the IC n1. Here's the game:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=68044
They still managed to win because we still hadn't flipped scum by 5p so we couldn't just win the tic tac toe game outright without losing to mafia majority if we lynched wrong. We hit scum in 5p but then lost in LYLO and I'm still a bit salty about it, hence why I jumped at the chance to play this again!
I agree we should lynch in the corners today
Just saying.- GuiltyLion

Blair - see the game at this point:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... 9#p8280539
Here, we have 5 alive, including the IC. The optimal tictactoe Lynch would have been Lane, forcing a win next move by lynching either McMenno or Javajoe, but this would have lost because Lane was town"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever.

Ah, I see. I thought you meant you had a winning move available that phase but couldn't take it.“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation!

as of this post, Maxwell AND rozyroz were both last seen online at 6:09 pm PST (my time), which was after day start at 5:50 PST, yet neither posted in the thread.
it's a little weird that they were both last online at literally the same minute, I'm wondering if that has to do with how the forum checks for activity, but regardless, both can be charged with seeing their day start PM and electing not to post in the thread! I find this suspicious!

Thank goodness I have a real scumread now, I was worried with all these slight townreads I was getting awkwardly shuffling on my feet on what to do.
Spoiler:
I feel like these posts by Guilty don't feel like genuine attempts to find scum. It feels like he's nitpicking and trying to find reasons to scumread people. Heck, the last post you can't really even defend against. Really the only post here I can somewhat nod at is the one against myself. Kanna and Max/Roz just feels off to me. Dunnstrals reaction to T-bone rubbed me the wrong way as well, but maybe I just don't like how defensive it was.- Clover Ebi

Why do you feel like they're not genuine? I fully agree they are nitpicky, but it is early game. Finding reasons to scumread people is exactly what town should be doing!In post 65, Clover Ebi wrote:I feel like these posts by Guilty don't feel like genuine attempts to find scum.

The "somewhat nod at is the one against myself" feels hilariously self-conscious scum. If you're town you should not find any reasoning against you to be good! Believable maybe, but why would you agree that your own posting is suspicious, instead of trying to correct me for why it is not?In post 65, Clover Ebi wrote:Heck, the last post you can't really even defend against.

Do you think town or scum is more likely to see that the day has started, after confirming pretty quickly after role PMs have been sent out, and then not post anything at all?In post 68, Kanna wrote:Also i dislike the activity tell just because i hate it when it's used against me.

I do not think it is likely that both are scum, so obviously it is possible that town would do the same, but I think it is a good place to start!"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever.

on this, I would also point you to see how I did not escalate or push further once Kanna gave me satisfying explanation!

There's something off-putting about how many times you've shaded Clover while voting for someone (and pushing the closest thing to an RVS case against them!) who hasn't entered the thread yet.In post 69, GuiltyLion wrote:The "somewhat nod at is the one against myself" feels hilariously self-conscious scum.

Is it because Maxwell is in the corner and Clover isn't? Because you're ostensibly scumreading Clover hard enough to solicit a vote but you're withholding it for reasons that aren't clear to me.“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation!
