There was that whole section where Murder and I had a full-blown panic attack that you were going to replace Bell as #2 in the townblock which pretty much confirmed that was the case.
Noraa got to #1 in spite of all the scum trying to kill her though.
After D1's town-led wagon on her, only one scum attacked her at a time and they never actually got anyone to help them, though.

Shelly and Zdenek attacked her when she was vulnerable, tried to take credit, and set up possible partners in UNOwen/Bell/someone else after a red flip. Titus as well. Lapsa voted her early.. but decided she wasn't worthy of being in his top 5 end of day.

After we decided she was town, Titus stopped. Fred hard tunneled her until he died. Shelly too. Then DGB. Like clockwork actually.
I've already said my spicy take on the scum team. I think they all just took shelly's reads and reasoning, tweaked them a bit, and posted them

Great Noraa,
MC.

Please Kill each other with words. I'm trying but I need help since, for whatever reason it's obviously noraa, but it actually isn't obviously Noraa. Because Murderkitty had unfortunate lukewarm interactions with a lot of scum so far on reread. It took longer than it usually does for Elo town Bell to get to this point and I don't have a vote like I usually do.
But at least it seems like I rerouted a catastrophic loss to a 50/50.

Why exactly..? To cement you as #1 towny? Because that's how you do that. They didn't stand a chance of getting you killed, they had to have known that.

There is nothing I can do, Pooky said I convinced him, he is going with his gut anyway. He won't listen to me if I produce scum Noraa emotional posts, either he has to go through it himself or one of you does.

There's way too much evidence to let her live, I guess it depends on your definition of obv scum? The thing is I think she is genuinely upset and I feel bad, but scum can also be upset for being caught early. I think it's like 70% she is scum.

I'm not really doing this to salvage a win from this mess tho. I just feel guilty that I let scum get this far. So I want to try to rectify it or at least do as much as I can to try to rectify it. I can't control what Pooky does, I can only control what I do and how I see myself.

Likewise, I have psych to do. I estimate that it will take less than 20 hours to complete, though.

let's all take a break from this game and re-convene tomorrow for more soul-agony.

I will try to murder myself with alcohol so the scroll with go to my soul-mate murderkitty.

Yes. I'm still in the "don't share too much" mode because I think I'm pretty widely town read and I'm likely a contender for a scroll when scum is hit. So as long as that's true and I've expressed who I want to flip and others agree (Noraa), I'm chilling.
Townie attitude. Is what I felt at the time. Could easily just be not wanting to fake solve when they're comfortable being a universal town read and can get away with it, but scum rarely ever take this tack tbh.

Idk if I'm starting to buy that 'hard effortposting Noraa' on the last five or so pages feels like town. Can you describe how you feel scum you would react in this scenario (basically to this whole game). literally just shoot me up with a post full of AOE? Also, please don't shoot Lady. I know you don't like their play this game, but it's a town slot and really doesn't have the influence you think.
No. I cannot at all know what I would do as scum here. I'm an unpredictable player. Literally can't even read myself or understand why I do half the things I do as town. My best guess would be that as scum, I'd be pushing some LHF or Taylor hard rn. The reason for pushing LHF is obvious. Those are easy to mislim and as long as someone else is already on that LHF, I can just hide in the shadows and give it a small push. The reason for pushing Taylor is because I can say she is scum TMI-ing. I have actually thought about that this game that maybe she really was scum TMI-ing but Mush had the exact same thought process and I highly doubt the scum team has both of them. Town me wouldn't push her because 1)she TRs me and that makes me feel too bad to SR her and 2)I feel like at least someone believes me
scum me would likely deflect to her right now bc I can, as murder said, I can justify it by saying something like "eyyy this be scum TMI-ing"

Btw you are trying so hard to shift attention that it makes me think ur a big hypocrite. You talk to me exactly like how Murder does except you yourself have been tunneled by LLD before. In fact, you panicked quite a bit when the pressure on you was legit the tiniest speck of dust compared to the pressure placed on me. And I take it you aren't even a noob. Take some time and think about a town!noraa situation cuz you aren't. You are just going with the flow and sussing me when I 100% feel like if LLD had gone thru with the tunneling, you would be dead meat rn. Think about how it feels to have people just be like "Stop fighting. I don't give a shit that you try hard. You're dead now stfu" If you are town, you should be able to understand why I am reacting the way I am.

Eh, my enduring memory from On This Day is that you kept swinging way after everyone had confirmed-scum you and in _______ you certainly did make a read list despite being done for, it is etched in my mind as about 20% of the reason I got paranoid at the end. I suppose they were not as substantial as this game though.

Q: Why did you think that I should not view you as scum in this game based on the games we have played (at the point you asked me)?
So tell me Uno. On this day was bad right? I was widely SRed and went down really fast.
But then after 2 entire scum games, I went into So many bats and what happened? I was widely TRed. If it weren't for a weak fn targeting me, do you really think I would've died that fast? My playstyle got so much better and I literally fooled everyone to hell and back. You really think it would get twenty billion times worse this fast? I literally 100% of the time make it to endgame if I am scum unless someone guilties me. Does that really not say something about my scum game?

My town game is bullshit compared to my scum game. It is very obvious. Uno you should know. Plus this may be a bad argument but like ... you really think all three games you play with me I will be scum? No. I think you are just being paranoid like duppin. Sure, both games he SRed me in(that have finished), I was scum. But I absolutely think it was paranoia against me that resulted in those. My scum game gets me universally TRed. My town game gets me universally SRed. I think its very clear what's up.

I legitimately did not know. Like I just don't pay attention and that really doesn't say anything towards my alignment.

This is problematic. I think the toogoloo interaction feels very familiar and is a town+ Noraa point.
Even though MC addressed this I still can't see this as much other than lowering the boat on town Noraa. I do think her insistence on being town would phase him and slowly effect his trajectory here though. Which it did.

Both ShellyC and Murder ignored me on the Shellyc read until this point. Murdercat explained it as lowering commentary given his position and thoughts. I don't think her curiosity here helps me understand which would be more likely.

You have a motivation as scum to try to lead people in a certain direction. Your comment about fake town slips did not have that same bias, it was made in post game where there would be no motivation to lie. This is why self-meta is bad and I know you know it's bad. No one is going to not vote for you due to self-meta in this game. Your AtE on me will not work either.

I said I fake town slipped in every single scum game so far. When that game ended, i had 2 finished scum games. What I said wasn't even self meta. If was pure facts that you would know if you had read the games. So really I don't see why that can be used against me but I can't use self meta.
In post 1914, Noraa wrote:I definitely feel like Hopkirk saw what happened to me and is genuinely terrified of LLD. Theres quite a bit of desperate pocketing happening here.
This is the first thing that could *maybe* be construed as making her look goofy depending on Hopkirks' flip. It's more a character attack, which I think is quite normal when people are under a lot of pressure. They reach out and grab people and sort of share the pain as town, which is really...Impressive for scum her. *sigh*

Political again, but it's the correct thing to say here and doesn't have much to do with the game. Or rather I feel like I couldn't tell the difference between having the correct stance here as an excuse to hide their position or if they're just like, "I don't want to reach"

How Noraa asks these questions pings me as slightly off. It reminds me of Zdenek and Shelly's. Scum sometimes fail to see what town are seeing and these sorts of open ended questions can help them to see opportunities for miseliminations.

Setup talk, complaining about pages and using it as an excuse to be kind of lurky, going with the flow and finding easy votes, etc. Could also be town of course, just pointing it out.
Feels like a comfortable list. It's shade, but it's sort of like "hey look, I'm paying attention as town here" and doesn't sound like "well I can rattle off a list of generic reasons here"
I do think there's a level of uncertainty to MC here that points to town him.
In post 1963, Noraa wrote:I finished the rest of my reads:

Toogeloo
Spoiler:
post was really interesting. If this is one of the reasons why Murder susses this slot then I'll agree. This post is interesting because I agree with it BUT I feel like it takes towncred to another level. It just strikes me 100% as one of the posts to post if you need towncred. As I mentioned in Fidget's read, first impressions are super important and ones that are too LAMISTy do rub me the wrong way. The whole interaction with me about vault dweller was interesting. I take it you didn't agree with my read on that slot but I mean, gut pings are gut pings. Sometimes they can't be justified and I drop them after a while but sometimes they can so I keep them.This explanation you asked for and when I replied, you had no follow ups. If you truly thought I was scum at the time, why wasn't there a question like eyy so this scum over here is deflecting to a lurker slot rn? Post was concerning. The tone was very strange and I got the feeling that you knew I was town. The tone didn't strike right the first time I read that post but I remember forgetting to actually comment that at the time but now, looking back, the tone is still strange. Sometimes I'm overnparanoid tho so I'd like to hear some other people's opinions on the tone of this specific post please. You pushed for a lim really early on in the game. In fact I believe you pushed even earlier than porky or LLD. My wagon grew really fast in 1 singular rl day and you immediately tried to push it thru. I actually didn't notice this too much first time thru bc I was under a shit ton of pressure but its def worrisome. I think I'm gonna put you at a
scum lean
because I relate on a spiritual level to all the posts complaining about how fast this thread blew up(ik ik ironic cuz I'm a hyper poster but after the first day, I woke up to like 20 pages or something:/)


Uno
Spoiler:
My only problem with this slot is that he keeps sheeping the consensus SR on me while sheeping my previous SR on adorable. Besides that, this seems like an uno town game. I don't have much evidence but the vibes are meh and the tone is meh as well. I think a
TR
is appropriate for now.


Vaxkiller/Isis
Spoiler:
Replacement slot. Just like the Titus slot, I will be sorting later because change of people and play style is confusing and takes some time to sink in.
Null
for now.


Zdenek
Spoiler:
Hmmmm I see quite some slight shade thrown around by you. I think that it is interesting because its not exactly shade. Its more like questions that can help other people start sussing so that you can just sheep those. Ex: post which I also strongly disagree with because I do not think mush is scum here. Lots of weak reads ie post (there's not really any clear reasons as for why you think pooky and taylor are town) You have two posts that I like and that I think town would say: Posts and Got taken out of context and don't remember the interaction with Uno and might look into that if I don't get lazy. Either way I like those two posts. The rest are mediocre. I think I might lazily give you a
null
for now.
I'm not sure if it's a Red flag that she gave Zdenek a null read while basically pointing to a lot of reasons he was scum. Pretty sure the Toogoloo isolation is another point where I could figure out her alignment from if I was any good. This is more nuanced, but also fence sitty, while also being about Vault dweller, while also explaining why she doesn't have great reasons for scum pinging at him and why that's pretty weak. While also doing an interest check which I would normally think of as townie.

doesn't stand out to me on it's own, but there is maybe something to be said about it being inconsistent with the eventual (as if panda should be giving you more slack based on the logic in 102). I agree with the stance in and the other post about how we should just progress the game by flipping you so I don't really see anything off there. I guess I could see a "you are town" tone to it, but I've done the same thing because it isn't worth interacting with you if you are scum. So, given we are flipping you, it's better to treat you as conf town. I don't know if panda has that same logic, but you could see the same thing from my posts. So yeah I mean I have some feelings about the slot, but I don't think it is anything strong.
I'm not sure what to make of this hedge betty post. It just feels like he's listening and doing what he can to answer her.

yeah but I mean using something I said in my literal 4th game on site(I joined all my first four around the exact same time) is dirty and low. Its basically the equivalent of my first game cuz I started them all at around the same time.

In post 1997, Noraa wrote:Speaking of which, gloria is your TR on me conditional or anything?
Also is it 100% meta based?
I'm in an interesting position rn where here is my thought process:

generally I hate when people give me free town passes when I am town but rn I'm getting heavily SRed and honestly like honestly speaking, I am desperate for someone to correctly read me. I am desperate.

I always am paranoid as town about getting pocketed but rn I seriously do not know what to think bc I constantly am feeling like in a way, I have no choice but to assume the people TRing me aren't scum TMI-ing because I am so desperate for support that I cannot see and do not wish to see a world where I'm just getting absolutely manipulated by scum. I hate that my thought process is this self centered and survivalistic but I feel extremely trapped where I dont feel safe with the people TRing me but I also dont feel safe with the people SRing me. I feel like wherever I go, I'm vulnerable and I'm scared that I am making the wrong choice.

Even when I am universally TRed, I can end up going 100% the wrong direction. Not to mention rn where I have a really hard time determining where I should be heading and I just feel like anyone that reaches out a hand to help me is just gonna get me paranoid and they'd have to do it in an extremely slick way for me to not literally go insane overthinking. It's at a point in the game where I literally wouldn't even be surprised if almost all of my TRs flipped green. I dont know how to describe how paranoid I have been this game but I am seriously so fucking paranoid.

someone give me advice please but be warned that its entirely possible that I get paranoid and start SRing and I'll apologize post game if that happens and you are town. If you are scum, u deserved it.
See this is a perspective I could understand right, it's pretty much exactly how she needs to think. She spends so much time on this emotional stuff getting it right etc. That I feel like If scum I'm looking at someone who felt an inordinate amount of time crafting a pretty good fake perspective. I'm not sure if this mask slipped later as she became more relaxed or not.

I still feel like her solving is off.
But given Murderkitty as a comparison where it's hard to see him solve at all it's not something I can weigh side by side and trust myself.
In post 1999, MURDERCAT wrote:You are mostly posting self meta wifom. Why don't you instead question people? You have some strong town reads who tr you, why are you not engaging them? Like, regardless of your alignment I think you should consider how your actions led to you getting more SRed.
It's weird how Murdercat encapsulates this comfy town person. In his interactions with Toogoloo. This is slightly a lack of empathy.

trying to help people understand my thought process cuz just spewing whatever came to mind didn't seem to be helping anyone
In post 2003, Noraa wrote:Mush,
1) why is pooky scum(you weren't that clear especially with all the remembering wrong stuff
2) if pooky is scum, who would he hand the scroll too?

for number 2, keep in mind that if pooky is scum, I'm basically conftown cuz scum never pushes partners that hard day 1. This means that scum!Pooky knows LLD is tunneling me hard which is exactly why I dont think scum!Pooky ever hands the scroll to LLD. Cuz as long as LLD is alive, LLD is gonna push me and that is one more free lim for the scums.

In post 2013, Noraa wrote:I just threw a bunch of game advancing questions and look forward to those answers.

Murder has been promoted from a SR to a town lean. Reason : you keep reasoning with me. scum never has that patience. scum just pushes me until I die. Also you keep giving me advice and being like a small guardian angel in the back of my brain. its been greatly appreciated. I hated your tone and felt like I was being talked down to so the SR on you was more anger/emotionally fueled than it was logically(tho there was a lil of that too). Sometimes it just hit different when someone else spews logical shit to you. You've guided me and I feel like you think I am town and are trying to guide me back after I fell into a huge pit of despair. Scum wouldn't ever try to make me look better cuz the worse I look, the less town gets out of a mislim on me and the easier it is to mislim. Thank you I sincerely appreciate it.

In post 2022, MURDERCAT wrote:I haven't played with scum Noraa but I've meta dived her a few times

Just went through her scum games and found a few posts that I think show her range. She is noticably more emotional this game to be fair, but I think Noraa is self aware enough to know that is a town trait of hers.

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p12129801

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p12232252

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p12154255

I chose these three because I think they show things I've seen from her this game: self-meta, discussion of her being upset about being a miselim (down to the phrasing: "going to be salty"), and high effort walls.
