This doesn't explain why you think that all 3 are non-town

all 3 what
MonkeyMan said that he thought your hood was an all-scum hood. When questioned on this, first he dodged it, then he dodged it again, then finally he walked it back to say that it was a speculation about the setup even when that doesn't make sense given the context. I think that saying something to appear to have a confident stance and then being unable to support it or softening that stance later is becoming a pattern with him, and I think it's highly suspicious.

The first game featured a Mafia Miller.

you quoting this like it's something you assumed i read/knew prior to the post I made even though I clearly quoted this after the post.

didn't see this.

Okay, so neighborhoods can contain all 3 scum members even.

I still think a Miller, if exists for Mafia, should claim.

It'd be more concerning if Flavor Leaf was pinging town right now.

Yes, but:

,

They showed that the setup has a random element. Do they think that there are 3 scum in the hood because they have 3 individual scumreads, or is it setup speculation?

If it's the former, explain those scumreads. If it's the latter, explain how that makes sense with what you quoted.

Their second post:

Spoiler:
In post 459, MalcolmTucker wrote:Anyway, main reads so far. Wu seems incredibly suspicious so far to me and I'm surprised it took until p11 of the game for Nero to pick up on this. Basically all of their early posts were either jokes or non-comments which allowed them to appear active without getting too involved in the game and actually taking stances either way. If they come back mafia, worth looking at other players early on who had theories but didn't pick up on that.

I didn't necessarily suspect Tenebros on the basis of their early posts but found some of their later defences incredibly weak attempts to divert attention away from them without addressing accusations at-hand.

Yet seems solidly townie so far, if not would be a very bold strategy for mafia playing their first game on the site. Also appears to have a sort of absolute confidence in their reads which can often be townie, mafia maybe more likely to hedge their bets and avoid going too heavily in on someone who could later be confirmed town.


They got right into it compared to what they did in this game which has me raising an eyebrow

You know, I did the
exact same thing
- although there was less grousing from him in that other game, if you look at the timestamps it was slightly earlier, and he only got out a few posts before stopping and coming back much later. probably really did have to sleep, don't think his intro to this game is AI.

still awarding you credit for process anyway

Actually it just looks like they didn't have time to go over the game so I don't think this says that much.

@Monkeyman - was I scum in a 5p Fylo situation with you once in a huge 2v2 like 6-7 years ago? I might've been on the Boonskiies account.

But I still don't hear you town reading your neighbors or them town reading you. So from a town perspective an all scum neighborhood is on the table.

You somehow weaseled your way out of a elim even though I had semi hard evidence against you.
