apologies. it was not a jab on your intelligence, things i say in mafia are not supposed to be taken outside of that context, and i'm sorry if i gave off that impression.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

It felt like Ico was pushing NPOM for a read. I think their "fight" was pretty beneficial for town tbh.

Now the fight between Koba and Dat/Ico is just shitflinging so idk what to make of that.

There wasn't much about him and I hoped I would get more from you, since you seem more familiar with him and you seem to have strong opinions on people you are familiar with, might it just be by gut. His comments just felt so minimalistic, admittedly I had a votecount with more Ico votes in mind, so the vote itself isn't really that interesting as I assumed.

In a way this persistent Ico wagon is remarkable.

Once it was about to fall apart it got revived again by two slots that just joined. I have no doubt there is at least one scum among the first wagon, maybe now the second, but I am more wondering why scum would be so interested to keep the Ico wagon alive when everything just became more open with everyone scattering with their votes. Would maybe indicate that the two newcomer could be town, unless they wanted to distract from someone, but there wasn't really any major wagon. I am probably more leaning Andres/Baltar here on first glance.

One could argue the Ico wagon has some resistance, which would indicate scum, but then again everyone who is siding with him feels more like town. So kind of feels scum might be in the bystanders and one from the Ico wagon.

I am kind of leaning town on NPOM for . Like the conclusion he reached there felt like it developed pretty organic going by all of his interactions with Ico. It doesn't feel constructed.

People generally have different playstyles as scum/town whether they like it or not.

I'm just trying to figure out your alignment because you have been acting a lot different from the last game we played together (where you were town) and that's usually a sign of an alignment change.

Can you tell me more about Sb? What about her tone seems townie?

Agreed. While I dont agree with NPOM's post, I think it comes from a townie perspective.

sb is gamesolving. Gives off a tone that is independent. Their motivations are singular, i.e. not part of a team

In post 136, Billy Pilgrim wrote: Honestly the dude seemed testy, which could be scum or could be a way town reacts to jokey rvs. The fact that he doubled down on it almost feels too scummy to be scum. But i thought that overt hostility was too scummy to be scum before and that player ended up being scum. So this is something that im going to treat as a play style thing that may be less so later.
To come back at this, I don't get this thought process at all. So your impression on NPOM intensified that he was too scummy to be scummy and you had a similar case before (in another game?), where exactly said player ended up being scum, so you back off here... because...?

Also can you point out where NPOM was showing hostility (he was annoyed, sure, but hostility is a stronger word imo) and why you thought this hostility was scummy (or too scummy) and couldn't have come from hostile town?
In post 164, Andresvmb wrote: I am voting here for a few reasons. I felt Iconeum was overly eager to cast a Scum net over NPOM, and I would describe the certainty that George Bailey is Town as a factor as well. I have no real certainty on whether Iconeum, NPOM or George Bailey are Town or Scum. I am not going to pretend that I have a solid answer here. But the whole Town slipping thing and arguing so strongly that there was a Town mindset just seems off to me.
One thing that I don't really get on the Ico push is the motivation for the shown certainty of Icoscum pointing out GB as town via "slip". Why not just attacking NPOM for his questions and using GB's comment as basis for his push on GB instead of coming up with a townslip? I mean it's not that Ico has even used the townslip to pocket GB (to be fair, GB disappeared after that for a while), so it feels kind of unnecessary to risk a tmi slip.
In post 239, Snowblaze wrote:@NPOM, can you explain your hellbooks townlean? I'm not really getting any read from her posts so far.
We are not getting any reads from you either. Not a single one so far in fact.
1 time in like 15 games is a small sample size. I've also seen other games where I thought someone was acting what I'll consider unnecessarily hostile and ended up town. The one difference is that the hostility in the game where the dude was scum was to site culture around V/LA and this was also what I thought was overt hostility to RVS. So my first inclination is that its too scummy to be scum. The fact that I was wrong once means im cautious, in backing off too far. I literally said it was something that I filed away and I'd be back to this slot later.
