I sus Best Bird, still undecided on Pooky/Rad but it's the kind of thing where I'll probably land one way or the other. JohnnyFarrar is individually sus and seems to have partner equity with a few people. I'm just gonna townread Professor and Butterflies.

I still need to get up to speed with all the claims to form proper reads but this is from what I saw so far on D6.
Why is best bird scum?
First, thanks for noticing me!

It's the way they seem unattached to any other players, like a free agent. I still need to read more really, that was just my reactions to that much of D6.

I haven't played in such a big game before. There's a real problem in that I'm only really noticing the louder players, so it makes me assume that there's scum in the louder players when that's not necessarily the case.

in my experience

the mafia do not pigeonhole themselves into a role and stick with it .

people play the way they want to play.

if the mafia rand is a group of coasters, they will all coast

if the mafia rand is a group of loud people, they will all be loud.

This could just be pooky's personality and play style and maybe pooky just has shit reads. I dunno! Pooky's got all the accolades, right there under his name! I feel pretty intimidated by pooky in general. I have no idea if pooky is town or scum here.
like is this really solving?

is any of this actually indicative of someone "thinking" about my alignment?


"I had a hard town read on pooky for a long time."

says he hard townreads me for a long time[reasons unstated]

"Even now, pooky's probably just town, yeah?"

I dunno man, are alignment changes part of this game? p sure in the setup link there isn't any evidence of it.

"But pooky's also had some of the worst takes on me being scum in the game."

So now I'm "bad" or "scum" for having a wrong read on him supposedly. Why is misreading Rad an indicator of being scum?[didn't lukewarm scumread rad too? what did he flip again? oh yea town]

"Trumped only by Malcolm."

Pretty sure the most vocal Rad-Scum reader was Luke, not Malcolm and that dude dead already. but you can't shade flipped dead people sucks to suck.

"Further, pooky likes to just disappear for long periods and come back just to proclaim that he hasn't read the past 30 pages and doesn't care."

This is a complaint; this isn't actually an alignment read. He doesn't actually think which alignment is more likely to disappear and then come back.

Disinterested scum? Disinterested town? What are my motivations here? Why do I stop giving a shit and fuck off and then re-appear?

If anything this is some kind of weird way to say I shouldn't be influential because I haven't cared for the last 40 pages or whatever. It's true, I didn't care cuz I was busy IRL and this game is boring af but this town keeps finding creative ways of killing townies during the day and I'm not a big fan of losing so I'm back.

"Then pooky goes on intense tirades against people like Frog (flipped town) and myself (town, but you'll find that out soon perhaps?). "

This is some weird guilt trip ATE, "pooky was wrong about frog!!! feel bad!!"

Like um ok I was wrong about one scum read on day one. this is mafia, 5/25 players not named Pooky are scum. Missing on a scumread when the baseline hit rate is 20% isn't a big deal. That's just how the game works. I dunno why you and drapion keep going back to this line about me being wrong about frog.

I don't have a 100% hit rate. so fucking what? getting things wrong is normal.

"This could just be pooky's personality and play style and maybe pooky just has shit reads."

more whining about how I play. none of this is actually solving for my alignment. if anything its borderline tmiing that I'm town since it's calling my reads "shit" which implies they're actual reads rather than me being scum and making things up.

also like there's no evidence my reads are actually shitty? I said frog was scum, he was town, I said mathblade was scum, he was scum, I said mala was town, she was town. I'm not even that convinced Rad is scum on a reads basis. I said we should yeet Rad for Luke because Luke scumread Rad. I asked Rad to prove himself as town to Luke. Rad decided to make a big post about how he's definitely town cuz he read luke's "scum games" and he has no reason to do that if he's scum.[which on a baseline is kind of bullshit because scum have every incentive to read past scum games of town players to look for ways to push them and to make themselves look good]. but the key is when actually pop-quiz'd about which scum game of luke's he read, he suddenly claims he can't remember which game he read cuz it's a month ago.

like maybe he's got the world's shittiest memory or maybe he's just making shit up. I think he's making shit up because I usually don't meet people who have such shitty memories.

and here's the thing, Rad could be making shit up and be town. Town make shit up all the time, but instead of coming clean he's doubling down on his "i'm a noob how can you expect me to remember routine".

"I dunno! Pooky's got all the accolades, right there under his name! I feel pretty intimidated by pooky in general."

I'm not sure what the point of this line is. Is this a Pooky has won a bunch of awards for playing so he should be good enough to tell that I'm town?

like um no? I've literally never played with you before.

"I have no idea if pooky is town or scum here."

weird awkward af landing.

like what even was the entire paragraph? just rambling thoughts, complaints, ate etc.

what part of it was even remotely trying to solve for alignment or express an internal thought process?

Like this is just a personal insult. Back off. I couldn't remember the game. Keep your vote on me, that's fine, but don't insult my memory. I can be scum or town here and just not remember which game it was or anything else about the game beyond scum!Luke being an effort king.

Just being real here lol. I know Taly read me town so that's cool. I know Taly made some huge posts here and there with lots of colors. I took away very little from those posts. I was one of the people who gave Ceph rankings on the list of 4 and I think I remember listing Taly pretty low, if not lowest. Yeah it was... town to scum... dp, johnny, math, taly maybe in that order? Or johnny first. I forget. I could go check but fuck you! So I just adjusted my read on taly based on nancy's hard defense from there.
Yeah - this is a scum post right here. You're saying you "adjusted your read...based on nancy's hard defense" but weren't you the one screaming it was TvT and we should no elim in the gladiate?

I mean we're down to 2 votes possible. Who's happy with this selection? I read ceph town for pushing it because this day is too fucking long but I was just getting a town read on taly finally. If the option is between 2 towns why the fuck do I want to vote?
In post 6625, Rad wrote:I'm open to being convinced but tonight I will sleep on it.

I understand a town consensus day1 vote but we are in a 1v1.

I believe ceph did this for townie reasons but I don't think it ended up with a great vote even if taly was my top in his list.

This day is too long because bullshit spam, not because taly is at fault.

I'll read reasons I should vote anyway tomorrow but tonight I'm out.

If we're going to lim someone simply because it's "the statistically the best move for town", and both Ceph and Taly are likely town - eliminating Ceph heals town and eliminating Taly hurts town, so I'll vote for Ceph if I decide that's the right move.

I'll VOTE: No lim while I'm thinking about it today
In post 7149, Rad wrote:
In post 7029, Taly wrote:Why is my townflip more detrimental than Ceph's hypothetical townflip?
Because you have emotional defenders I think are town and ceph has non-emotional defenders I think are town. Green taly flip causes retaliation likely to fall back onto town and green Ceph flip causes nothing to happen because Ceph started us down this path to begin with.

I doubt there's more than 1 scum arguing about this loudly right now, if any, and a green taly flip makes everyone arguing hate each other more. the taly defenders hate the vocal ceph defenders and the town ceph defenders are just going to feel attacked and frustrated for it.

I think even a red taly flip right now is probably terrible for town, because again, I think the most vocal people right now are all likely town and red taly flip would become pure chaos where we just elim town back to back to back. Red ceph flip probably moves us towards a solve. Red taly flip can wait until later when we have actual cases against taly.

I don't know how much I even want to interact here anymore. Sincerely. If this is just a common large game issue, I doubt I'll ever join another one.

VOTE: ceph


Yep...you were. Your words then were the words of a scumbag who was trying to score townreads because you had no stake in the flip (either was it was town flipping). Your words now are the words of a scumbag who is trying to create a viable miselim by distancing from your original stance and shifting the reason to "Nancy's read."

I'm not pointing out that you're just wrong, I'm pointing out that you go on intense tirades against town. First Frog, now me. This becomes observably true for everyone after I flip green and is already true to me because I know I'm town. I dunno what to think about it though.

Or johnny's just scum and he had a little ramp up and backed off again. I dunno. Johnny could be either. I know CSF hard reads johnny scum. If I had a bullet and could shoot one, I'd absolutely shoot johnny over CSF. But I'd shoot pooky over johnny :D What a weird way to view a slot. What are you johnny? I think he's probably town and at the same time, I realize I'm probably just wrong and he's scum.

Mislim Bait/Klick
- I had that silly IRL theory about Klick + Bella that probably influenced my read too much. This guy could just be scum. I mean honestly, if I was scum this game, I'd be playing it like him. I felt he made some good points about Malcolm that I was also feeling and I just stuck him in my town read from there. His attack on me felt a little weird but still, I wrote it off as just town being town. Maybe he's town but he's playing like scum here.
