That's one naked vote too many.

VOTE: BBT

I imagine my wagon looks like a convenient place to park a vote right now and BBT is pretty, you know, not present in the game.

Roden is going to scum read me regardless so I don't know. What would it mean to you if I said yes? What if I said no?

Roden seemed to have some insight into you, so I wanted to see what kind of insight you had in him. I don't think a "yes" or "no" means anything specific here. Just wondered what kind of reaction you'd get out of that.

We seem to scum read each other in about every game. But as I was skimming I saw something were he said he has had some irl changes that have affectied his mafia play. So maybe that isn't valid any longe.r

I don't necessaritly view it as an empty question like he did, but when I'm asked for self-meta I get a funny feeling I"m bein g played. csf did it earlieer and now you.

Yeah I hear you Galron. I kinda like that paranoia from you here, reads townie to me. He made a pretty specific meta call on you, so I wanted to see what you thought of it. Maybe nothing comes out of it, maybe you find the call strange, maybe you find it totally accurate, maybe you read me scum for asking it. All potentially good content.

He viewed it as an empty question, you didn't. So I get to chew on that some.

In post 941, Bell wrote:I don't recall saying that Corwin was lying. I never think a person is lying about their circumstances nor do I doubt them. They can just be scum while also dealing with life stuff.

I also don't see how Corwin being eliminated now would be a bad thing beyond a loss of information this day phase. It is not something that is fundamentally bad to be voted out in a game of mafia.

It would be good to have information rather than a senseless death no?

Mod Notes

Taly replaces Toogeloo

Low blow post on a VLA player aside, I feel a lot of manipulation coming from Bell's posts in the last 12 hours. Galton so helpfully quotes 941 for example. Bell is recanting now that there's pushback. Bell very clearly stated Corwin was lying about catching up. But in 941 we retcon to "oh well Corwin could just be scum because of random draw". (I am paraphrasing) Yeah, no shit. Then it's 'no big deal if we eliminate a content less player'. What a goalpost shift if I've ever saw one.

I'm also starting to find the way Bell decides whom to think could be scum or town to be arbitrary. I get that Bell is a meta player, and it's well documented I think meta is trash... but I feel Bell has applied this inconsistently thus far. Maybe someone else who feels like they use meta can comment on this. Some players get meta dives, some players get recollections from previous games, and some players Bell just takes someone else's word for it. I understand that not all 25 player slots can be treated equally 48 hours into the game. What Bell does feels to me more like just searching for an elimination for the sake of an elimination, rather than for the sake of eliminating scum. I know Bell has already said to the effect that he'll support any lim that isn't him but that's not really a defense for scummy behavior, just an excuse. It's way too early in the day phase for that.

The tl;dr is come to my aid trash meta users :p

Wow, I didn't realize we were only 48 hours in. It feels like it's been a lot longer than that for me.

And yeah, Bell, I fell asleep reading last night, sorry for being human.

All in all, I think that Bell is town so far.

Bell Alignment Flow Chart

Does Bell have more posts then me this game?

If yes->Town
If no-> Scum

That is a hyperbole, but the fact that he is the number two poster this game is a good sign for him in my opinion. Also tone stuff makes me think town.

This line in particular feels like you read that line from him completely divorced from the context of the conversation where he said it



He had a distinct list of people he wanted to vote, I asked about 2 other people, he said that he would be willing to vote them (or anyone if he had too) but they were not his preference.

I feel like the context of that conversation makes the "It's way too early in the day phase for that." part of you point moot imo.

hey lovelies it's the beakiest bitch of them all

uh I only read this past page and I think Gal/Rad town/town is above rand

Theres like 5 scenarios I imagine mutual paranoia going between S/S and T/S and "how would you react to that" and "we do this all the time so is this valid?" do not strike as scum dialogue

Also Bell townlean for healthy caution in the PT

I don't agree with your interpretation of 878

Taly, what made you think Bell had claimed?

Like I understand the context of being asked who he is leaning on voting on. What I'm saying in 878 is that its a statement Bell made that supports my observation that his reads and the way he's gone about them feels arbitrary to me. Not that it's the end all be all statement.
