I’m skeptical of a couple of these TRs to various degrees (Luke, GL)
As for helping you get engaged idk what type of things help you with that so I can’t really attempt to deliver without some elaboration on what you’re looking for

This feels incredibly disconnected from you sorting the slot yourself. Didn't you have them in your scum list a couple pages ago? (albeit, you said they were the least scummy of the list).

Are you now town reading them? If yes, what caused you to change that from what ever post you scum read them in before?
My list of 4 was obviously going off very little and there has been a fair bit happening since then. I wouldn't say that I scumread them at the moment, but my feelings are conflicted. There are little things that I like and little things that I don't like, to the point where I don't feel able to form a solid opinion on the slot right now.

I hadn't realised the extent of your familiarity with Marci before, which probably changes my thoughts on your suspicion of the slot, but I disagreed with your conclusion that "nervous = scum" and that "confrontational = scum". In my mind it would be weird for someone to keep doing the same active thing that they've done many times before as scum.
I don't townread the slot, but I don't need to townread the slot to disagree with your reasons for scumreading them. Again though, I'm now aware that your experience with Marci (lots) is much greater than my experience (none) so, in some respects, who am I to even comment on your reasons?

UNVOTE: Child of Fairies
VOTE: Bowser Jr.

This is not really indication of a change of read on CoF, but more that Bowser Jr. seems to be trying oh so hard to insert themselves into some kind of cool kids towncore despite not really doing anything town.

Not sure why DV wants to remove me from his list when I haven't done anything yet.

VOTE: Juliet

Disclaimer: Phone posting and this was from memory of things.


I didn't like how the justification for the vote in feels very overexplanatory
GL has posted a lot more since then. Do you still feel suspicious about that slot?

@GL, my apologies for calling you a slot. I couldn't remember your pronouns.

Thank you for your consideration swift action in this matter.

Now's not a great time cuz I have to start working but

What do you think about the votes on us? I wasn't thrilled with DV's but rereading my post asking to be engaged by you and marci I can squint and kinda see how he got there, but overall feels like a reach to me.

I do think it's odd that he criticizes us for trying too hard to get in a townbloc and then proceeds to buddy (imo) LLD by saying he agrees with her despite her having only voted this entire game.

why does suspicion = criticism? Why does agreement = buddying?

So many things are suddenly becoming other things and it reeks of creating narratives where no such narratives exist

I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally different between suspicion and criticism in this context.

I can elaborate on why I called your agreement with LLD buddying: LLD has done nothing but vote this entire game, which is fine, but your explicitly calling out that you agree with her feels unearned because she hasn’t expressed an opinion to be agreed with outside of what we can assume from her votes.

It felt to me that you were trying to endear yourself to her, and seeing as LLD is a very influential Town player I could see scum trying to cozy up to her.

This post illustrates a pattern with your approach to us so far: in the post where you vote us, you seem to take issue with the post where I list out all my townreads and ask for a few of them to engage with me about the game. You immediately assume the worst and claim that we are trying to get in a townbloc instead of just having some town reads and wanting to talk to them about the game.

The above quoted post paints my actions as “creating narratives” which feels like a reach and is a buzz-phrase that gives you a convenient excuse to double down on your vote as our wagon grows.

I understand that the nature of mafia requires you to look for scum motivation in everyone’s posts, but your handling of your push on us in both these cases feels like you came into the read with the intention of scum reading us and are looking for things that will reinforce that. This, along with my point about LLD above, makes me happy to

VOTE: DeasVail

Also 47 hours until all votes on us must be removed.
