Spoiler tagging posts is a surefire way to get me to skip them and the way you've formatted them makes it incredibly hard to read. What are you even doing? You know how to format a post better than this. At least include the links.

Why does it have to be a scum play? What do you think a town player who replaces into a slot under suspicion would do? Why couldn't I be town with a legitimate read that I'm trying to push?
It was a good time to slip in when there was just starting to be heat on orctin.

I'm lazy though. Are they really that hard to read? I write them up in a separate notepad and then just post them when I'm done. That's why you never see me direct linking lol

Dum - I've been leary about Dum since game started - the whole Hammer trap he tried to play was just a bad play, and moreso when i had clearly made my position known before then and it was obvious there was no trap as the votes had been posted - this was a weak attempt to make me appear as if i was just trying to do something that i had already shown not to do - end day early.

HEM - aggressive player, just goes right out after people, attacking and going after reads which seem to be singular minded but strong played in your positions. If i were to look for scum tells here i would have to put HEM and James together in a pairing where they counter each other at points to keep the unpaired appearance. I would think the quick Voting HEM does is also bad, as could be a scum tell to be the early person on a vote, see if it hold ground by trying to get others to go along with it and so as to not appear as a late comer to the train.

James - for the most part i read as town, I like his questioning nature to look at things first to form an opinion. I haven't seen a pairing yet with him but that would basically make him a good pairing with myself if i were looking at scum read pair from outside the looking glass.

Nav/Ninja - Nav - i think here's a high likelyhood of pushing the scum look on a player gameplay, that again i was biased to as i played with before (JV), to push him to that breaking point some people have. Nav is playing the excellent townie role, and have most people believing he's town, which if most people think one thing it's the job of the last person to ask if it's true, i wonder if there is perhaps a great scum player lurking here. Ninja - This the Ying to Nav's Yang - Ninja is thoughtful - looking at Both HEM and JV and trying to read between the lines of the two of them looking for those clues others might of missed. But overall i think Nav/Ninja seem to both fit in the same mold here. I would think if JV flips Town - one of the two of them is scum.

What Ninja said was exactly what i meant and stated - I didn't say James was town, i was noting that a partner to him would not have to be Monkey, but could be multiple people because of how playstyle and voting goes.
In post 755, Super wrote:I kinda respect the fact Ninja was voting Micc all up until the end - and then him dying just doesn't make much sense to me from a Ninja scum perspective
This i agree with as well - and something i hadn't brought up - Micc was scum read by a couple people - for him to die, as Johnny, flipping town seemed odd as "Why kill him?" He was clearly going to be a player drawing interest and attention, so why eliminate a player that basically helped a scum player
You kind of did say "James was town".

The whole game i had said i felt JV was town - So stick that in your "zero town reading pipe" and smoke it. Really getting irritating when people take what i say and twist it around cause they are so one dimensional in their thinking

How bout you read all of what i say and not just take 1 sentence as the whole meaning - in that post i was looking at pairs -

I had started directly above that line that i could see a HEM/James pair and why - or are you just blind to reading what you want to to help your arguments?

I then looked at it from just a James position - and yes i could see him "mostly" as town - But just because i think someone might be town - doesn't make it so - and if it's not so then who would he pair with. I was simply noting i didn't have a good idea of who would be a good pair with him, if he was scum and Monkey was town. As i know i'm not scum i didn't put much weight into it - but it doesn't mean i just give him a pass - i don't give anyone a pass - It's part of the game cause the best scum player will be the most town looking player out there. I refuse to be one dimensional and not suspect everyone of playing scum well

Okay, but you're clearly not townreading his sot now. This is very selective! The fact is your readslist from earlier today gave you an excuse to vote almost anyone and that felt like it was not coming from the mindset of someone who needs to find mafia to win the game.
In post 781, orctin wrote:I had started directly above that line that i could see a HEM/James pair and why - or are you just blind to reading what you want to to help your arguments?
I mean, no, that was specifically pointed out right after I posted your readslist and I commented on it, so obviously I've noticed. The fact is it's contradictory with what you said after , and none of your explanations are satisfactory. You just keep saying that wasn't what you meant and constantly invent new explanations for what you were saying that don't really seem to make sense and it's very tiresome to deal with.


Whatever, this is scum flail. I'm not going to throw myself into a prolonged 1v1 here.

How is this a town read? I don't understand how you could eliminate a town read just because its a general consensus. If you're TOWN and you are convinced or believe STRONGLY that somebody is town, why would you eliminate them? It makes no sense. You should try and avoid a mis-elimination and to get one of your scum reads eliminated.

Orctin you're definitely not Town.

If the whole game is against you at this rate, where are you narrowing your suspects? I understand your vote is one thing, but if you're just town and this is a vs. everyone situation, there has to be opportunistic scum.

Actually that needs further clarification-- What is the point of Me/Catboi if we're scum here both voting you. That's going to look dreadful if you flip green. I know myself and I know catboi to some degree and I can safely say if
were
scum in this situation we would not be trying to get you killed. We'd just let you fall over and die, and then act shocked about it. I don't mean that as disrespect either, but why do you feel as if you've found it us? What about James? ..Super?

I find it slightly towny of Orc to be lacking in reads or at least... he seems like he's flailing in a way that I would see a new player doing as town (I'm curious about Orc's experience tho). It feels like he has suspicions of almost every player and idk if scum would be this blatant or this scummy? I tend to play the devil's advocate a lot and tend to defend players who get ganged up on because normally when a whole table is fosing someone it doesn't sit right with me and I worry scum are pushing on that opportunity, and now I'm having that gut worry that Orc isn't scum and there is at least one person who wants to capitalise on his playstyle (LHF kinda guy, no offence to Orc but his posts are hard for me to read into/I can't read his tone very well - a lot of the shit he says doesn't make sense to me but that doesn't make him mafia).

He has one completed game on site as town. I had aleready taken a look when I was replacing into this game, and I feel like he was a lot more proactive in his scumhunting there and was much wore willing to express suspicions with reasoning behind them - compare his accusations there to the stuff he says about Micc, for instance.

This would suggest that if scum, so is T3.
But I could be wrong here.

@orctin

Can you touch base on this more?
Let's go over why these 3 are scum?
Right now I dont think Rathe is scum - his vote after the doctor claim was too immediate and to telling now
Jackson - He started out slow but has come on lately - he's making logical post and discussions so i have no reason to question his alignment at this time
Which to me leaves T3 as very probably Scum

Far as those questioning myself - i'm town - You dont see me trying to jump on a vote right now in trying to save myself - i'm trying to let town sort our who would be the good choice today at this point


Also - Dont think we aren't looking your way as well - the player you were replacing was on the questionable list of a few people - your doing a good job swaying those thoughts at this time - we will have to see long right

Right now i think T3 is the best vote to eliminate - Andante and Rational need to get off each other and look to better choices - and i have no idea why i have pinged Jackson's radar - but town needs to come together on a vote and one we all or at least majority agree on
hehe I like this post from Orc in his other game saying he wouldn't be trying to jump on a vote to save himself - which is kinda what he has been doing here :P first with Dum and now with Catboi (I'm not saying he's mafia but I find it an interesting comparison)

ya sorry, it was what you said D1 about a PR read you had that pinged me and I was going on in my head whether to bring it up or not - so I made my dumb post half wanting to bring it up and half not - I'm just dumb like that and struggle at holding back on saying things, you can read it as what you want

I found it interesting because you said it and I think you were implying a PR read on Micc? you can correct me if I'm wrong on the read - I don't really wanna talk about PR stuff at all but I don't think you're going to leave me alone on it now and I take blame completely for being dumb about it

I completely forgot I actually posted about that. I of course won't be disclosing who I had a PR read on or if its changed, if they get night killed I'd prefer it to be random not due to me going "Oh yeah Fizz Raab seems like a Jail Doctor Cop", but I appreciate the clarity even though you didn't want to bring it up. I just wanted the clarification instead of the mystery.
