You're actually oscillating between the first and second tier. I feel like I ought to just commit to first tier. I was going to make a decision before I posted it and then forgot that I hadn't.

if you look through my town meta, youll see a number of fake scumslips and scumclaims early day 1.

why in the world would i actually signal to scum when quoting a member of my dethy. like 100% the dethy picks up on that, 50% the mafia does.

again, if you think im scum here you must think im actually stupid.

Alisae mild town lean but will probably be sortable later
Bell mild town lean
Cabd mild town lean
DS mild scum lean
FakeGod lockscum

ffery mild town lean
wait Gamma's in this game? his first post is towny though. rest of ISO is null
Jake is unreadable
midwaybear null but probably sortable later
Nahdia null and I hope things get less stressful soon :(
petapan mild town lean
Pooky is honestly probably my strongest townread, but I don't have to be happy about it
I will not attempt to read Cakez on D1. I have a slight town lean on Cakez. By the law of me being utterly unable to read Cakez, this means he is scum. Gottem
Syryana mild town lean
Tammy null
Tayl0r null via ISO but also lol
Bulge has 19 posts, no wonder I can't remember anything they've done.

are the mechanics of the traitor specified or implied at all? if the word traitor is used in the PT is it capitalized? what was the purpose of all that fakegod-spec earlier about traitors?
Jake mentioned the possible existence of a traitor when he thought syry was signaling Cabd I believe. Cabd said that mod meta meant fakegod didn’t use or like traitors, and we asked why and then dropped it.

That’s why I don’t like it I think.

I’m not sure why I felt such dread seeing all the votes come in as they did.

I don’t want the day to end early, I know that for sure.

I don’t like that it cut off some of the communication here even though I signed on to out the dethy. I guess I thought more people would react like bulge and try to process.

I really don’t want to deal with what is going to happen inside my brain if tsyl0r comes back innocent. Because I’ve been a bit hamstrung hear because is it really so easy it’s between tay0r or Jake, two of the scummiest people in the thread? That would be awesome, but I have trust issues.

If bell is scum then we’ve derailed that and again if tayl0r comes back innocent, this is gonna fuck with my head big time.

Interesting. You're dead set on it being Taylor here as opposed to Jake?

I agree that Taylor looks scum, but Jake looks way more scum in my eyes.

All those games Syr linked? I read them. And I also have the benefit to Jake's behavior in the neighbhorhood when we were scumreading him. His reaction to that pressure didn't feel scummy. I think the pressure he was feeling in the PT was greater than the pressure he's experienced in the game thread. He did feel kind of defeatist in some ways. Reading those games gave me a context for why he could feel defeatist here.

This doesn't scream defeatist though. This screams "I want to act as an agent of chaos so that even if I get eliminated, our stance isn't crippled."

it would be clever but not impossible for jake to call out syr/alisae as potential signaling when he is the traitor. he's had a couple of posts that showed some flashes of possibly trying to read people. have you looked at his other games? even if you don't give a shit about meta i think it's useful to set the baseline expectation for what his play is like because if you're trying to fit him to a typical mafia plyer model you're, uh, setting the wrong expectations
