Well about that.

If Enchant was serious about submitting scum preference, then I'm pretty sure that if the mod gave everyone their stated preference?

We have three scum who submitted scum preference and then either refused to state their alignment preference (Cheeky, Meg) or lied about it and said they had town preference. (Technically, they could lie and say 'no preference', but I've reason to believe that everyone who claimed 'No Preference' is actually town here, just off of who the names claiming no preference are. I don't think scum truthfully claimed no preference given Enchant, and I don't think scum lied about it being no preference given who the names are and basic psychology in mafia play in that mafia would be afraid to claim 'no preference' if they thought that claiming no preference would make them more likely to be seen as a scum candidate.)

MegAzumarill
CheekyTeeky
Between the players having stated town and the player refusing to state a preference, we have 9/13 players.

So what this tells me:
Taly
and Titus are town;
Galron is
probably
town.


If Enchant is town, which he probably is, then all three scum would be in those that didn't claim or claimed town.


Removing myself, that pool?
{House, Scorpious, Yume, Greeting, Flea the Magician, CheekyTeeky, ɀefiend, MegAzumarill}.

Of those players?

Greeting has no completed scumgames per their wiki. They have four towngames and zero scumgames. The preference for a towngame is probably thus true and accurate. So
Greeting is town
.

Scorpious's wiki leaves it unclear, but very loosely imo indicates that town is
slightly
more likely.

House I think has stated his town/scum preference before, but I sadly can't remember it and he has no real wiki so I have to keep him in the pool
for now
until I track it down.

Ditto for Flea; fae might've stated faer preference but I can't remember it.

Yume might've stated preference on one of her accounts but thanks to the number of them I can't track it down.

If Cheeky has stated her preference previously, I don't know it.

zefiend is impossible to track; ditto, for Meg.

So sadly, that doesn't narrow the pool down as much as I want, but it still helps as a
starting
point.

It gives us 3/7.5 names as scum from a narrowed list.

Not quite 50% odds of hitting scum, but 40% odds of hitting scum beats the default 25% we'd have otherwise (3/12).

And from this, we can get into the reads on players from that list.

{House,
Scorpious
, Yume, Flea the Magician, CheekyTeeky, ɀefiend, MegAzumarill}

Cheeky's play looks like scum;
Meg's play looks like scum.

Even if both are scum, that'd leave 1/4 of the remaining prime suspects as candidates.
In post 164, ɀefiend wrote:What mastina is doing both scum!mastina and town!mastina could do; the act is merely Information Instead of Analysis, which is NAI. However there are some flaws, and although I have no way to prove it, what mastina says about what everyone submitted is not 100% true.

I submitted town preference overall, but all three of my scum roles were rejected (which seems ridiculous reading what some of y'all claim to submitted) -- so I was assigned a Vanilla preference if rolling scum.

I will also be keeping my own notes on people's claims, but if someone wants to neighborize me into mastina's PT so that I don't have to keep notes, it would be appreciated.

Not enough petty arguments to generate any reads yet.
This makes me lean town on zefiend.

Which leaves 1-3 scum in {House, Yume, Flea the Magician}.

I could see it being any of them, but while I can't read House worth a damn, loosely, I think his contributions are town. I think was accurate regardless (if House is scum, he was the scum; otherwise, it's probably Meg), and find the Cheeky House vote there sus.

If I had to go gun to my head, I'd say that in {Yume, Flea, House}, towniest to scummiest it'd be House > Yume > Flea.

So right now, I'm thinking:
All 3 scum are in {CheekyTeeky, MegAzumarill, House, Yume, Flea the Magician};
CheekyTeeky and MegAzumarill have a high chance of being scum;
House is less likely scum;
There's 1-2 scum in {Yume, Flea the Magician};
There's basically a guaranteed scum, 1-2, in {CheekyTeeky, MegAzumarill}
.

Preference is nai and completely useless otherwise we wouldn't have had to submit roles for both alignments. This is clearly just busy work, and a townread on Titus/Taly only reinforces my suspicion as those would precisely be the slots scumstina would want on side.

Before my hiatus, my preference was playing as scum.

Site meta has changed since I last played. So my preference has too.

Bit off topic but can you elaborate on the site meta changing? Also how could you know the site meta changed if you haven't been playing?

I've played with Titus and Mastina before and your join date is similar but I don't remember playing with you. I often take long breaks from the site too.

Players have become more analytical as town, and tend to struggle more as scum, now.

Just because I haven't been playing, doesn't mean I haven't been here at all.

VOTE: mastina

Well that was easy.
Mastina knows my scum game, and knows I thrive more on scum because I actually find it easier to make reads as scum. I also have a pretty comprehensive wiki, which miraculously seems to have been forgotten about.

My scum games do such admittedly, but it's no secret I play for fun over form.

I'm also strong mislim bait because of my erratic behaviour and thought patterns.. the PoE seems too convenient to me and the reasoning lacks her usual convictions.

I'm a bad person to pocket or townside if someone is trying to survive

You know how many times I 180 on someone?
Gamma
and
Galron
have the receipts.

Hell game just ended and
Ydra
-scum played historically what makes me lose endgames and I still left the dance.

Gross meta aside, I'm not going to discern
mastina's
motive because she's made them entirely unclear so any benefit of fighting her both won't resolve much right now and eliminate any potential solving benefit from this.

Tbh, it seems like a perspective slip to scumread her off the basis of trying to get MAFIA role information. That kind of only promotes lying from MAFIA, not town... why be afraid of getting role information if it explicitly does not target town?

Also, it is not lost on me that your posting implies that you townread
Titus/I
because you're saying that we are being
"won over"
by a scummer. I don't follow the conclusion you made on either of our alignments and that only reinforces my belief you could be informed.

So no, I'm happy with my vote and if you want to end the disappointment then begin with working with me here.

VOTE: Mastina
The reasoning there is pretty abyssmal and I don't think it wasn't thought through so I'm leaning on malicious


Also no thought into actually why someone might not share their preference even though that reason was pretty clearly laid out in our first interaction.

(And whether that (players with town preference more likely to be prs) is true or not doesn't really matter, because it is clear that i think that which means outing my preference would imply whether I am pr or vanilla.)

You're contesting the PoE off the basis that you're in it and not digressing into why the solve lacks conviction or has potential fallacies to it.

Hence why I prompted you to voice any discontent because I can't tell your alignment based off your current reply other than I disagree with your take on
mastina's
intentions.

That's a lot of analysis from an rvs question. I'm not sure how I got to be town (probably) out of it, but the grouping of taly (whose name is in greentext?), titus and me as not stating a preference appears to coincide with the townreads of the three of us. Mastina, am I on the right track? If so, how is our not stating a preference town!indicative, and why would I be [probably] town, as opposed to [full] town Taly and Titus? It is stated that the particular names are important, so is personal meta involved?

If our stating our preference is not connected with the town reads, then I'm curious as to how they were developed. Why would mafia think that claiming no preference would out them as a scum candidate? And what is the difference between the players stating no preference and the players refusing to state a preference?
