This is very helpful. I understand why you scumread me now.

The only time I've seen you as anti-town is when you thought you were anti-town in lunacy, for the first day only. I'm comparing your play here to that
I don’t think so, but how do you think they are similar?

and read forced and you've manufactured a townread out of thin air just in time to move your vote somewhere else, while shading a couple other slots without committing to actual scumreads.

Basically, you've managed to throw your weight in six or seven different directions without saying anything that would grant you any accountability for any of these pushes.

Yep, that's what I'm doing. Not the manufacturing townreads part, but the throwing accusations/thougths around that aren't very serious part, because I don't have any good scumreads right now.

It was a page one read - it was serious at the time, obviously it becomes less substantial as more material accumulates.

If I have a non-serious read, I'll let you know.

Also, it occurs to me that I mentioned it in my modded game (which just completed - go read it! Absolutely wild ride) but didn't mention here: I'm in the process of packing and moving, so my attention is very divided right now and I haven't been able to keep up my usual rate of activity. Hoping to be completed packed up and moved out within 24 hours, though!

boring is just my personality i am sorry (and i haven't been giving games as much attention as i should have/could have this week)

also ngl reading this game feels like i'm looking at a blob of "meh" with a few light trs (hi inno, hi blair) thrown in there which makes parsing through it all feel like my brain is turning into goo. i don't know what that means mafia is doing other than either blending in or just... not playing right now which means we're all kind of half-heartedly pointing fingers at each other hoping something sticks.

that sentiment implicates nosferatu, dunn and r2r if going off of like, strictly numbers. of them i like nosferatu the most bc of that dunn/blair thing. i think r2r isn't look the best but i vibed with some of their points regarding bm thus the unvote. i don't think it's foolproof like they are town 100% of the time but i can follow their logic without having to twist and reach for it so i don't wanna vote them rn

i think i just want to vote dunn and see like. anything.

VOTE: dunnstral

Spoiler Alert:
Spoiler:
This never works. Dunnstral doesn't respond to pressure votes, and even if he did, you aren't actually applying any pressure when you say, "Meh, I just want to see something from you."


You called me town, though, so I'll be cozying up inside your pocket for now.

I didn't find your explanation for your Ready2Rock stance very compelling. Please revisit this topic soon and consider voting for him with extreme prejudice.

Regards,
Blair

In post 176, ready2rock wrote:UNVOTE:

Right now I'm not liking BM all that much. He's claiming that he had both town and scum tells from midway, but I only ever saw him give midway the least charitable reading possible and sounded very sure midway was scum (see: his iso read at 110) until he decided to push someone else, then suddenly he was having a slight town read on midway all along

VOTE: Battle Mage

@BM What specifically gives you any town vibes on midway? And when, if at all, did your read change?

That all being said I don't like Nosferatu's entrance into the game all that much either, very combative

Happy birthday Umlaut!
I think this comes from town. I don't think newbie scum chooses to gun for me when there's no momentum and it's likely that I get all OMGUSy and tunnel-visiony which just brings them into the limelight. And I can see how newbie town could find my approach unusual/alarming.

By way of response, I was mostly trying to test how Midway would react to me probing, so you're right that my interpretations were not always "charitable" but that was intentional in order to put him under pressure. I never voted for Midway, and as per my analysis there were scummy bits and townie bits to his play - so my read developed throughout the discussion. Overall, I feel good about him because he didn't shy away from a proper dialogue with me, his engagement was genuine and he was prepared to concede more ground than I think scum would feel comfortable with. But that doesn't mean he's townblocked, and there may be things to return to later.

No! Because as above, you're implying my push on Nosferatu was dumb even though I actually went to the trouble of explaining it in Post 160, which you ignored.
