I also don't really think I like this joqiza push?

It's hard to feel good about anything with 24p at the table and no one resolved.

That's basically the crux of the issue. I think I'll be more expressive once I see a flip.
This is why I think you’re not American. You keep hedging way too much. You think you’ll hammer but ...

That should just be I will hammer. You’re saying I think because it’s group pressure to hammer Mastina.

See here you’re being pressured about not having a read. Then you’ll be more expressive once you know? I mean it’s easy to get people right who have flipped.
So why does his phrasing make him scum? Why would scum do that? Why is that impossible for town to do? What's the benefit and why does that benefit make it worth doing? Hell, why would he, as a villager, be more sure of himself here anyways?

Everything being described here is based on magical thinking as opposed to logical thinking.

I read and I go "oh ok" and nod along
this guy sees it and goes "ya, I think it might be scum" ?????????

I said what I said about the hammer, I don't get why being uncertain is AI on D1 of a game. If you think it is, then you shouldn't.

Being more expressive about reads =/= being more expressive about the flipped slot... that's simply not what I'm saying. I'm saying the flip (not necessarily mastina's, but a flip in general) will help inform my reads on other slots.
You’re being uncertain about what you’re willing to do.

I think I’d hammer
I think I’d be more expressive.

It’s too vague and not about reads.

It’s like saying “I think I will tell you a scumread by Sunday” it’s too wishy washy. Either commit or don’t to an action. It’s got all sorts of wiggle room and no accountability,
Dude brings up a point, its D1, its the hardest day in any mafia game, but this guy is sayin "NOPE, you seem unsure on if you want to hammer or not so you must be scum."

So instead of
- addressing why being uncertain is alignment indicative on D1 of a game

we are instead
- doubling down and saying nothing new.
- trying to force down this black or white viewpoint of "commit or don't" which is not as black and white as being described.

I'll give him this, he does add something new to the post by saying that it gives all sorts of wiggle room w/ no accountability, but I'll also add his posts aren't good enough to actually provide that wiggle room and make it so he won't be held accountable. Oh also regardless of the flip no one is going to hold him accountable regardless even if mastina did speak and he did want to hammer her after she sneaked anyways.

i have countless games, including the fucking large normal in team mafia where i have told mastina she was wrong, but town, and proceeded to be frustrated and live with her for the rest of the game.

It's like i'm witnessing someone try to tell me who i am or how i play when they don't know me. like, use meta against me.... but not even bother to learn my meta.

god
I mean the whole post doesn't seem based on reality and is rather magical

They then wanted me to do a meta comparison between the two games which is garbage to begin with. Yet if you wanted a mastina scumgame, wouldn't you do the comparison?
Oh ya I get the feeling that he doesn't actually want to do like, any actual work, like at all. Like, this is very like, results-based, but most of the people I've seen who tried to play the game as well as read up at the same time never actually get caught up and have generally always been scum.

BTW if joqiza was ACTUALLY scum.
He could actually lolhammer mastina and no one would give a fuck but apparently he's scum for being unsure of himself.

Haven't been this confident in a scumread in a long time tbh.

If she's bussing, who cares. A scum killed is a scum killed.

Seems like bad play in a game with a known SK though, and a town full of nukes. Like what's her end game? Why bus the ever living shit out of your teammate first chance you get?

I mean, your argument that mastina always ruins games and should be policy'd doesn't really make sense unless you do. So it's a pretty reasonable assumption.

On Mognet?

If so, why does Mognet's joqiza case being bad make them scummy?

I've read up to page 50 and I'm taking a break but I also feel like posting something, partly so that it looks like I'm doing something and partly because I might forget what my thoughts are otherwise.

But here we go.

People I think are town:

LLD
Mognet
Pooky
Et Al
Koto
Church
Titus
DeathNote
samantha97
marry

If you didn't make the cut, I'm sorry. But you still have between page 50 and 60 to make it onto my list so there's a chance!

I think church is trying to string up mognet over an incorrect scumread and it's scummy. I don't scumread joqizahim but mognet picking at someone for hedging is a perfectly fine method of reading and his overall play is very town motivated

Where the fuck are you getting this from my response to a shitpost????

Like some points about mognet. The thing titus brought up was something g that really jumped out at me as strange, though I'm not sure if its scummy. They went from asking for a scumgame to acting like the scumgame was some sort of impenetrable UFO when one was provided... why ask if you didnt want to read it?
