Firebringer as a player doesn't jump in, read a bunch and make a STRONG OPINION to try to save his faction. he's a lazy boi regardless of alignment and by being a lazy boi people town read him for silly reasons, again regardless of his actual alignment. Fire immediately jumping in and trying to save someone from being left behind off of very little reading just makes him look sus and makes it more likely he gets left behind.

so hope for scum!firebringer with partners in the poe would be to cross by seeming agendaless and then hope that just continues to carry him forever, hmhm

i think i am unfamiliar with firebringer outside of a game i read a while ago that i wasn't in

That's the impression I've always had of
Fire
. He's up there with
S_S
and
the worst
on players I don't read well.

i would def jump in and defend someone if i thought they were town, but given how this setup works it only matters for last person crossing and if i really townread them. everyone else i just have to feel is good enough to cross.

trying too hard in mafia is lame and unfun anyways

as a general rule i don't claim town because i think its overdone and boring taly.
and i don't try to change peoples opinions of me directly because i think its a waste of effort.

so like....ask better questions

It's from a while back (5 years now jeez) but Firebringer and I both replaced into scum playerslots in Kids TV Show Characters mafia (him lateish day 1, me mid-day 2) if you want to take a quick skim of our isos there for a baseline of either of our potential scum play. https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=67884

Also fun fact literally not a single mafia got voted out that game, there was just a good commuterizer and a good vig and they teamed up and slowly destroyed us during the night phases

i went back and looke at unwnd and my brain shut off, i couldn't get through it all. i hated his AtE on a reread but i still think when have gave actual content it was okay

my general sense from having seen him as scum in a couple games is that when he writes stuff for the sake of writing stuff and lacks definite conclusions on players, i remember reading his posts in other games and thinking "what the fuck are you talking about" and i didn't get that sense here. went to sort of briefly review the game where i'd caught him (when he replaced into a slot i was already scumreading) and that was the main thing i remember. i don't think it was present her, at least in the moment, but even bringing myself to focus on a review is hard

my desire to try to drive anything at all right now is minimal though

I townlean
Fire/Toog
these past 2 pages.

Going to group ISO
Prism-Gypyx/Cakez/Tamora
and then likely revisit the latter half of
peta's Dunn
analysis.

You caught me, I did a conflip.

But honestly I want to look at
Prism/Gypyx
first.

I could've misread
Gypyx's
wild reversal from
Prism
in terms of trajectory on
Gamma
.

I also suspected
Prism
was a powerwolf early Event 1.

Gypyx
has had a nearly incomprehensible read progressions this game.

And the growing suspicion of
Gypyx
doesn't outright mean he isn't scum. He might be bussed.
