@Pav, my reads currently have not moved much from this. Zyla is sitting in Null for me. Maybe a full iso on her could change that, and I can do that if you want me to
I am actually growing a bit more suspicious of Not_Mafia as time moves on, because I am used to a bit more from him. Like, I know that he is not the active poster, but I think I am used to seeing more then this
I asked Val for a read list, because I thought it would help both of us talk about other things -- am surprised by his response (from either alignment tbh)

That's a fair assesment. We are approaching page 15, and I'm getting a little frustrated that everyone seems content to sit back and watch.
I can't speak for everyone, but I'm recovering from something right now, and the harsh tone of the thread is making it harder for me to enjoy the game, and thus harder to play. It's not that I'm content to sit and watch as much as that I feel engaging with it too much isn't a good idea for me
I think we all need to take a step back and remember that we're doing this to have

Spoiler:
Sorry to hear that, Zyla. Do make sure you do what's best for you outside the game.
@Pav, I just did an iso on Zyla, and I would say that I am on a weak town lean there
I liked the way she did her iso read list -- it gave lots of things for people to latch on to / respond to. I think she put in a lot of work to try and pull the thread back into productive conversations -- I think it is probably my/val's fault that she did not spark several conversations all at once there.
Particularly liked the reach out to Not_Mafia
Although, I kinda disliked the Matci post. I feel like there should have been //something// there to respond to.

While I agree that there's been a range of activity levels, I don't think it's fair to call everyone else coasting just because they aren't on as much. People have jobs, etc.

I have a job, too. I'm not calling people coasting for not being on as much, I'm frustrated because there is already a bunch of content to sort through; and all we seem to be getting out of it is variations on 'eh, seems TvT, or maybe of them is scum. Probably val, dunno'. The response has been to ask to the slots that have been posting out their earholes to post even more.

Fair. But then why am I sat at 2 votes; and one of those I think is a left over from RVS?

Hard disagree. I almost commented on this earlier, but I don't know how to approach explaining it at this stage.
I think this is pretty damn scummy, but I don't really want to go into how until there's a few claims on the table; and I don't think now is a good time for that.

Remind me to circle back to it.
I am pretty sure that you can talk about a "hypothetical cop" without it revealing anything
It is my understanding that NM is a very hard player to sort (and a cop on him would deal with this).
Also, from my experience, when town!NM says "This is scum" he is right more often then not - so, not having to second guess any pushes he decides to make seem ++town from my PoV
So, I think that this is good advice coming from Umlaut
I also think that scum!Umlaut might avoid giving this advice, because he would expect to be able to push out town!NM as a miselim, and would not want a cop inno to stop that from occurring

I'm not arguing that its bad advice in a hypothetical sense, I am disagreeing that Umlaut posted it with the intent of throwing out some hypothetical advice, I think he was fishing, and fishing for something very specific, whilst looking like he was giving advice.

You are giving scum space to hide.

wanting
more votes?

not everyones confident in being able to rip this stuff apart, its largely unreadable and people are starting to just gloss over it.

Val points out that the Luke/Val extravaganza is allowing townies to coast, but there is at least 1 mafia out there coasting as well (unless these 2 are scum together, in which case I am quitting this site forever).

You think, me and/or Umlaut saying: "If we have a cop, they should consider targeting Not_Mafia" is fishing?
Also, you appear to think that copping Not_Mafia is bad, but do not want to explain why until after out hypothetical cop would have to decide if they wanted to target him or not Night??
I cannot think any reason to be against it, even if I try to consider any/all set up combinations we could be in
Spoiler:
Except, and sorry to say this will probably look like I am conf. biasing here, you are scum, and either 1)NM is your partner or 2) you want to be able to miselim NM later.

I do not have him higher then Pav. If they are on the same line, they are the same level atm
Alstro is generally townie, but his shift to Portia seemed odd, because from what I can see in his iso, that read was pretty dependent on Val's flip - so he is just a little lower because I am unsure why he when there.
Why do you ask? Do you have Umlaut lower? Alstro higher?

No comment.
I've said I will come back to it at the appropriate time, and I will do so. I don't see how a town player doesn't realise this line of question is either straight-up PR fishing, or least how it can appear so...

ahh misunderstood ur list then
im asking because i want clarity, alstro = umlaut or at least pretty similar in my eyes rn.

Because he posted in a way that would have earned a response from anyone, much less the actual cop?
Just stated: here is my opinion on who is a good target.
And that was it
I think that is very much in the realm of "Not Role Fishing" and if anything, is in the realm of "SEs giving pointers to potential newbie PRs"

I haven't really liked Portia as early as 231 due to just generally being vague/unhelpful.
Also, I think Umlaut made the point and Val made the counterpoint and Luke responded and it's time to move on from the PR discussion; any more will just clog the thread and make people glaze over more rather than giving something new, I think. Even worse it just gives more info to scum.
