You're missing the point of my post. It's not whether you would be likely to be recruited. It's that if you were scum, you would be unable to misunderstand whether recruitment occured d1 or d2, because you would have been talking to your partner d1 so you'd know it already happened

I'm not very pockety when I roll scum and also I don't think I'm being that nice?

i can understand apathy to some extent because like, yeah it wore personally on me, but saying you thought that it was random noise doesn’t make sense to me at all.

PlusJoyed and Loki both didn't know that mafia recruitment happened in the pregame and thought it happened during the day.

If plusJOYED isn't an alt they are both pretty townbinnable
I think it takes a while before people get into the corrupt business of manufactured townslips

there are 2 nomination phases. you need 5 votes to nominate(condemn) someone.

Now we are deciding who out of the 2 nominees to execute

It doesn’t really matter if plusJOYED is an alt or not. I think Ydrasse’s way of looking at this is far more useful.

When I was the horse, I didn’t know if anyone cohld figure our the different horse sounds or not. “Neigh” is based off of tone and other things that can’t really be accurately interpreted in an online format without a code. Cheetah otoh, obviously doesn’t need one.

I’m just kind of frustrated that you are placing so much emphasis on the experience aspect of it, rather than looking at motivations and what makes sense. It pretty much holds no weight for me one way or another how much experience plusJOYED has or whether they’re an alt or not. Are they making sense? Yes or no? Do you find their overall take of the gamestate to be reflective of a townie or scummy mentality? That’s why I think what Ydrasse is doing far more useful.

I think your interpretation of recruitment made more sense than plusJOYED's, so maybe I should townread you more

I think their overall take of the game state makes me suspicious they are trying to simplify the gladiate where I find the players that want to explore the whole town to seem to have a more organic townie response to the phase.

And if they both flip town how does that help us? Isis is definitely right about this, so yeah this does concern me a bit. How do you know we won’t be post-restricted again after this? Now is the time when we know for certain we can use actual words, to try to figure out the entire playerlist. How do you even propose we “simplify” the gladiate without doing this?
