And you think it's t/t/t right now. That's really interesting.

You have anything on Nash or Carcalilly?
I wonder if MH coached Italiano at all or if that was just rock solid scum play start to finish.

i think you're trying to for it in a way that mafia wouldn't like why pick a fight with nero he's just going to shit on you

i think nero's energy is townie but i dunno if i really know how to read him so take that with a grain of salt, but i'm not convinced by your case

carcalilly called me scum for no reason which is weird i don't really get the TMI post either i wouldn't say no to a carcalilly wagon

You're assuming that you're just Town here (which I like ngl) but also that I know that and your bad faith argument still lands on Nero!scum. It ignores that fmpov you can just be scum pushing Nero and how you go about pushing a slot is also a way to sort you.

If you had lied about any other slot and I knew about it the outcome would be the same, I'd call it out as bs.

Most likely not. I'm not a fan of meta, but I was interested in some flavor of certain games. I just found it a bit off that you never cased anyone that early in either of the two games and both of them you were town in.

Meta can be manipulated. Think of meta like playdoh you can mold it into whatever you feel like. So it's not super predictable unless they are a player that has a transparent day/night meta.

High-key italiano went leanscum to town within that time. Asked to make it serious and he did.
UNVOTE:
That was one of them though.

Other one is DV for the acetic comment.

Thought process was something to throw down early and reflect on later. Plus if I try it every game, maybe one day I'll get the instaguess. :p

I agree with all this actually. I was subconsciously sheeping over90 methinks with that list, in your case.

Don't get the TMI? Half joke half the gut-feel comment felt not-so-fully gut. I couldn't understand what kind of agenda would be pushed onto you though.

I find it funny ppl shaded kitty for not wanting to case early and then shaded italiano for casing early. Or was it setup spec? Either way it felt a bit trigger happy there.

A big part of why I think Kitty could be scum is the way that they have responded to suspicion in this game. When one is scum, the question of how to respond to a vote/suspicion is, I think, a pretty tricky one, and something that a lot of players as scum will have to intentionally think about, and I think Kitty's responses align with scum feeling the need to respond in a certain way, rather than a natural town response.

The first example of this is here:
In post 100, KittyTacky wrote:
In post 26, mq.bosco wrote:VOTE: KittyTacky
You're making a terrible mistake, I'm Jester.
Which would be a pretty harmless joke on its own, and at first I didn't think anything of it, but then it is a lot more pronounced in

Statements like "Do you really expect me to try to case you on page 6? I don't case people this early." don't actually match what Nero was asking, and make out Nero to be unreasonable.

And "The cardinal sin of waiting for more posts from a player before seeing whether to commit to a read or not." - is an insistence that what Kitty is doing is totally reasonable and shouldn't be suspected, again that any suspicion of Kitty is unsubstantiated (though note that in this case RCE didn't even provide a reason for thinking that Kitty was scum).

So instead of being confident in their role PM being town, Kitty feels the need to essentially belittle any suspicion against them, even when the suspicion itself is quite trivial and low-impact.

--

I also don't like the Nero thing, as I don't really believe that they truly have that read.

--

over90, I would like to know why you townread Kitty.

PEdit: Tbf carcalilly, no one was actually shading kitty for not casing early. That was a narrative that Kitty themselves created.

I'm not sure if that was what was actually the point. No one really expects Kitty to have a case on me but if Kitty is scum reading me then not voting me when there's only like 1 vote on me seems sketch, no? Sometimes scum will not join wagons until there's a bit more meat. As for VD, I still think the case was forced and he's overcompensating. What do you think of the case on me?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I think early game is the best time to not be cautious and it looks like you just know I'm town that is afraid to vote me. I mean maybe I can understand that you are suspicious of me but that suspicion hasn't formed into a full on scum read yet but still seems iffy to me.

what did you like about VD's case?

is this not a change in reasoning? I mean maybe you could argue that it's something you are adding onto your meta case but I think that's BS. I think that no one was bitting on your meta case so you threw out some charged wording that I wasn't doing enough. I think I'm doing plenty.
