I can get behind this but I also believe Mastina and PPF should be on here.

It’s clear from the presenters here we don’t know if cult can recruit.
Yet somehow Mastina ends up on 6 because why?

Now, for the proof.
Okay, so basically:These were my opening posts in the game.In post 19, mastina wrote:(Okay but for real, I intend to be a BEACON this game, REVEALING the TRUE COLORS of all.)In post 18, mastina wrote:REJOICE! For your SAVIOR is--oh, wait, this is a cult game, I shouldn't open with that.
Hi I am a maso--oh, wait, this is a cult game, I shouldn't open with that.
Hi, I am town.
Read them, and think about them from the perspective of this being a game where:
We don't know if it's normal mafia multiball without extremely special flair,
We don't know if it's a cult game with usual cult mechanics,
And we don't know if it's somewhere between the two extremes.
We don't know if we start the game with only two scum (altho we can infer it's doubtful), we don't know if we start the game with eight scum (altho I laid out why I believe that's doubtful), we don't know that the scumteams are symmetrical, we don't know that the scumteams have the same mechanics, we don't know how many scum are on a team.
To be fair, unless the mod specifically gave them information about their opposing scumteam, the scum don't know if the scum have the same mechanics/size as each other. However, you get the idea. The town doesn't knowanythingabout the scum, other than that there are two different scumteams. That's it. That's what they know.
Okay, so given that:
The proof of what I'm saying is in my opening post:
My opening post implies that there’s cult recruitment. I roleplayed abandoning a claim of leading a cult, and roleplayed abandoning a cult-fakeclaiming-Mason claim.
If there were two scumteams of 1-2 each with a recruitment mechanic, they would view my post as a scumslip. (Or, heck, even if only one scumteam was that way.) My opening two posts can--very very easily--be read as me being cult. I am known for being an incredibly cheeky scumfuck. I am known for claiming mason as a cult leader. I am known for not bothering to hide that I am scum and being very open as to the how and the mechanics used, telling huge truths.
Including being the type to be cheeky enough to claim scum in my first post--I've done it before, multiple times. (I can show those scumteams if you want to see the examples yourselves, but yes, scumastina is known for that sort of thing.)
Alright, so let's break this down so far, to make sure you're following.
REMEMBER:
We don't know if it's normal mafia multiball without extremely special flair, a cult game with usual cult mechanics, or somewhere between the two extremes. We don't know how many scum start in the game, if the scumteams are symmetrical, or if the scum share the same mechanics.
My opening post was one that could be seen as either a deliberate cheeky scumfuck post,
Or even as an accidental scumslip.
"mastina slipped that this is a cult game where the scum have voting powers".
That is an argument that could have easily been made by players.
"mastina is being a cheeky scumfuck telling us that she's a cultist in her first post".
That is an argument that could have easily been made by players.
Nobody did, though. Nobody thought that my opening post was a scumslip. Nobody thought that my opening post was me being a cheeky scumfuck.
If there were a scumteam of 1-2 scum, why didn't they think I was their counterpart?
They might not want to say it's a scumslip per se, but they could still use it as a reason to push me. They could scumread me, they could press me, without revealing their TMI. If someone were on a scumteam of 1-2 and saw my opening post, they would think my opening post was TMI. And thinking that, they could use this to push me. Except nobody did. The first vote on me?This, which wasaftermy post 92, andafterthe first player calling attention to my 92.
Which suggests that there isn't actually two factions of 1-2.
If there was two factions of 1-2, they should've seen my. Yet they didn't.openingpost as the scumslip
So, what does that tell you?
That at least one faction has three, and precisely three, members.
And this faction genuinely believes that I TMI'd thanks to THEM having TMI.
Notably, proof of this is in MathBlade's replacement.Notice something?In post 334, MathBlade wrote:Not sure about this post.

VOTE: mastina
So the crux of the issue then becomes:
Why was the 3-man scumteam callout considered a scumslip, but the 1-2-man cult calloutconsidered a scumslip?not
If MathBlade were town, thenmy very first postshould have pinged him as a scumslip showing TMI of a 1-2-man cult.
If MathBlade were a member of a 1-2-man scumteam, he should have thought my opening post was a scumslip showing TMI of being his opposite.
But MathBlade didn't react to my first post being a cult game callout.
MathBlade only reacted to my post where I made the callout of athree-manscumteam.
And this is true of all the players who have gone on to suspect me.
Their pressure on me didn't begin untilafter144.
(Side-note, Bunnyonce might be scum, too, but if so is on theoppositeteam.)
So what does all of this mean?
That there is a scumteam with three members, who believed that my callout of there being six scum in the game was me as the opposite scumteam doing a TMI scumslip--when themselves ironically TMI'ing.
I still think that team is {MathBlade, professotic, Frozen Angel}, but obviously, I am behind and need to read the game.

Well STD is easy. He is too casual to be mafia. And until he basically left the game because he felt he was being too serious, he was quite active, too.
“But trust me! I am really not scum! I really have these reads and they aren’t self serving at all because I want these players dead.” (Joking voice caricature of Mastina’s post to make a point)In post 740, mastina wrote:Well STD is easy.

STD as scum is more serious and more lurkey. (Note that STD flaking out is not lurkey, it is him having a bad reaction to the game--that, given the way it happened, I feel was extra town, because STD was being casual and it happened. If STD were scum, then he would just ease up, back off, knowing he did too much. But STD as town alreadywasin his perspective being fairly lax/loose/laid back, so IN THE STATE HE SEES AS laid back, feeling he went too far = he just...leaves. Which hard-spews him as town.)
FA it's more about her opening posts and focus and what she's spending time doing and what her priority was. One meta is more serious, the other more casual. Ithinkthat the serious meta is the scum meta and this was the serious meta, thus scum.
Now!
These are not full explanations, mind you!
If you think this is a full explanation of the meta on STD or FA, fuck no, there's a lot more--but respectfully, this early into the game, I don't want to give out too many details. Explaining your tells midgame generally is a fine way to invalidate them.
So like. I'm keeping it deliberately vague/unspecific because I don't want to give them a guide into fooling folks in the future. I quitelikebeing able to see them as their true alignments.
Outside of STD and FA tho:
This is the towngame of all three heads of PPF but in particular Nancy. Nancy is one of the easiest players to read onsite and every player having the slot remotely suspicious that has played with her is automatically suspect for not calling her the townie she is. But even Auro and Titus are showing themselves to be town. I shouldn't need to explain the Nancy meta but I can go into the Auro/Titus ones if needed, it's just that it'd be a lot of time/effort for something I don't see as important to lay out. The Nancy meta is enough. I'm not the only player to have played with Nancy here and not every player who knows her play will be scum so like. All it really takes is ~2-4 players verifying she's town and you can know she is in fact town.In post 264, mastina wrote:LOCKTOWN:
