Newbie 2081 | Game Over

[Jake The Wolfie]

There's a cow in the game do not put bina at E-1

That just seems like a great plan to outst the fool

[MegAzumarill]

Jake mind giving your thoughts on other slots?

[DaTacoX]

Actually... I think I'd probably move Meg and Greeting back to neutral

[Jake The Wolfie]

Kennyk makes my eyes glaze over.

Kennyk makes my eyes glaze over.

What does that mean?

[Jake The Wolfie]

Everything that they wrote does not make sense to me.

Yeah, it's great until you have potentially up to four townies dead (if Binatog and the mad cow are town) and the game's at lylo.

I guess that's the downside of letting a jester stay - having to mind him at all times.

[Not_Mafia]

I don't QH in newbies and I'm townreading Binatog

[Greeting]

I have at least half of the game at the same level of scummy for me right now, so I’m holding my vote.

I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish with that? If you have multiple suspects and are voting none, you're exerting pressure on none of them.

I'm stating it now that I hate to use issues IRL as an excuse so I won't. I'll try to be more proactive.
I don't want to revote until I find someone that is clearly scummier for me.

I'll provide some more info for anyone who asks.

Yes, I'd like some more info on myself and all the scumleans (including MegAzumarill, which you stated in 177 to be neutral).

I haven't liked any of Meg's posting at the beginning of the game. It all can just be hidden behind the wall of a joke, but I don't really buy that. You two were also clashing over something not very meaningful for a long while. The reason I moved them up was that a lot of their more recent play has actually been helpful.

Jake is there for a similar reason to Meg's jokes. They voted the same people as Meg, but have only made comments that haven't really gone anywhere.

Binatog is kinda a mystery because they have very few posts and they're mostly vague.

As for your play, you come across as caring and not caring at the same time somehow? I moved you down slightly because I realized you haven't actually been doing a lot of investigating at that I'd just been placing you higher because I had Meg down low.

Outlasting Not_Mafia will always be my goal.

In any case, I've been out of this game lately, not much is going on.

That's fair.

For reference, I have been working on this post earlier and posts 183, 184 aimed to elicit some info which might be relevant to my next actions in this game. Namely, if DaTacoX merely copied what was said before by me in 106. Turns out they didn't, and I actually find their explanations pretty logical.

This whole post should be considered not as a readslist per se but as thinking out loud and a way for me to organise my thoughts.

I'm picking my battles atm. I want to end my yesterday's train of thought. I had mentioned three SEs, now let's take a closer look at them.

Let's take a look at Jake The Wolfie. Each and every of their 21 posts are short statements. The justificiation for jumping on my bandwagon in 102 was the fact that they were bored 105. I interpret this as fishing for content by putting pressure on me, which seems more of a town-sign rather than scum tbf. Unless someone has meta which confirm that they've acted in a confrontational way in other games before? They're still suspicious to me.

Then there's MegAzumarill who seemed to focus their energy on building a case against me, which they justified by me pointing out obvious stuff. They don't necessarily have a clear townie voice to me, but taking a risk by building a case on flimsy Day One evidence brings attention and isn't something I would expect of a scum. Perhaps I am biased here, given that it obviously brought my attention, since the wagon was on me, but interestingly enough, the rest doesn't seem to care about this interaction... at all.

I've changed my opinion on catboi. That's not someone I want to pursue right now. The tone of their posts seems genuine.

Leaving out hops because my opinion of them hasn't changed.

Leaving out DaTacoX because I want to narrow the list down as much as possible and they quite frankly don't seem suspicious to me for now.

That leaves:

kennyk
Jake The Wolfie
Not_Mafia

I'm going to go with Jake. VOTE: Jake The Wolfie The Binatog wagon is tempting, it really is. But I don't have a single shred of trust for Not_Mafia and I'd rather we make a better thought-out bandwagon rather than quickhammer a wallflower.

Tl;dr: I decided to go with elimination. I took the list of all players and started striking the least suspicious ones, one by one, and picked from what was left that didn't sit quite right with me and, given the overall circumstances, seemed safer than the other options.

[Jake The Wolfie]

Are you expecting me to do something, or do you just want me to die?

If it's the former, what?

If it's the latter, why not Not_Mafia?

[DaTacoX]

Now that I've read into things more, I've narrowed my choice down to Jake and Binatog.
I'm picking Jake here because unlike Binatog there are more posts to go off of and a lot of it is fluff and short statements.

VOTE: Jake the Wolfie

The one post they have that has actual merit is when they gave me advice (which was nice) but felt kind of out of character for them thus far.

Do you think I am more likely to be scum as compared to them because of my fluff posting, or is it something else?

[DaTacoX]

I think that Binatog's posts are unhelpful but passive while yours are more aggressive.
It's a little unfair to say that you're worse off because your posting more, but that's the reason why I'm able to generally be more confident about it.

How am I being aggressive while also being fluffy?

It’s the latter. This isn’t a trick or putting pressure, I just think that there’s a good chance you’re scum.

I decided to leave out kennyk, because it’s still the same story to what I said in my readslist before. Plus they seem to preoccupied with something else than me and MegAzumarill bickering, which is also a town-tell given how much of a non-event that really was.

I decided to also leave out Not_Mafia simply because they’re unpredictable. Whatever you expect them to do, they’ll do the contrary. They have their own agenda in this game, which is making a mess and the rest of the players sort of have to deal with it. That being said, he’s not out of suspicion, it’s just I think eliminating you first is a better idea.

[Jake The Wolfie]

If you think I am scum, then who would plausibly be my partner?

When I say they’re aggressive, I mean that in the sense that you’re still pushing for people over others unlike binatog. Unless I’ve got the definition wrong, your posts still count as fluffy to me because they are either unhelpful, don’t come across as serious, or are vague.

Aggressiveness is not AI.
If anything its more townie than not

That doesn't really answer my question, that just explains why I can't be both Aggressive and fluffy. If I'm being Aggressive, then I have to be clear and serious, but if I'm being fluffy then I would be less clear and more silly.

That’s a question I’ll be thinking about after you flip scum. Otherwise, it just serves as a distraction.
