Yeah that's fine unfortunately another less likely explanation is that Redados is scum which is why Mush died and one of Lavar/Rocknil is inno.

I notice a lot of players in this game do this and it still doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t think I ever will. How does this help the town?

@Frederick: I wasn’t actually scumreading you because of you’re non-vote, but I am keeping an eye on you. Let’s see what happens today.

With that said I don’t like rocknil’s Day 2 post, how he made his vote, and his activity added onto his overall posting and activity.

In this instance it made sense, but lots of players vote for people they townread and don’t vote for people they scumread. I’m still trying to understand if there is true strategy behind that.

Oh well that is what I generally do.
I know some players who will fight the wagon until the end if one of their townreads was being wagoned.
I'm going to try to keep looking at the interactions. I do like Italiano's tone and his denial of being townread was townie for me. I'm still townreading Redados too.
Another scumteam I do not find likely would be Fredrick and Frogsterking. I don't think that interaction earlier today looks fake.
Perhaps the scumteam is (Frogster, rocknil)? I am not sure.

#1
Because her suspicion of so many different kinds of players could be a late game win condition for mafia who are hurting for win conditions in this setup and I think killing her n1 clears up too much for town about the gamestate. I also feel like it was a low-chance PR shot.

If I remember correctly Redados was pretty townread yesterday as well, aside from the MagikHorse slot and shelly who was lynched. Italiano also could have been a good night kill.

Basically killing Mush simplifies the game which is only good for scum if they are being townread by everyone and I don't believe that's the case here. It's possible, it just seems less likely.

I think you make good arguments and are good at seeming townie but selecting a night kill requires game sense and I don't know if you have that.

Yeah. I could see you bussing here. I mean what else would you really do? I feel like you need to play that way now in this gamestate or suffer a slow death.


Three other things I thought of is that you seem like you want to have an active voice in the town ever since you replaced in and night killing Mush is something enabling you to do that now.

It's also possible that Frederick would want to kill Mush just to get rid of the pressure or another duo apart from Rock/Lavar just decided it was the best kill. I guess I'm curious what everyone else has to say about the night kill?

Are you saying that wanting to have an active voice in the town is AI? He can't control what happened before he replaced in.
In post 615, Frogsterking wrote:I guess I'm curious what everyone else has to say about the night kill?
I'm not sure I can wrap my head around reasons for night kills beyond trying to kill people who won't get limmed during the day. It gets pretty WIFOM. If I were to pick the last person to get limmed during the day, it would have been Mush. From that logic, Mush was the best night kill.

I am fairly townread, so by your argument, MUSH would be a great kill for me due to her variability. Then, why are you arguing that she is an unoptimal kill for me?

I'm really curious to hear from MagikHorse's replacement slot, I think getting an outsider's perspective on D1 will help.

There were a few things I was trying to type and I wasn't sure if I was making sense so I'm going to get some sleep and write more tomorrow. I'm planning on responding to Larvar and Redados and rereading some of D1.
