Okay. So we’re those substantial posts enough to not vote me and why not just discuss them? Probe me, try to find out what I’m thinking.

Would they still be useful for evaluating other slots if they are town? I'm not sure if you're talking about a spew-angle here, or a sitting duck/low hanging fruit angle.

Both!

I agree elements is prob town. What do you think of their read on harumi? Quality/not quality?

I follow the logic, but I think it's probably just genuine dissonance from Harumi more likely than an error caused by Mafia being disingenuous. I'm not sure what to make of Harumi at this point, but I'm not really reading much into that at this point.

I posted 72 irt to my interaction with VP. Then I went and skimmed back over the page which is why I mentioned 73 and 74 after the fact.

Now I don’t have read on Tessaract yet. Mindmelding doesn’t exactly mean anything alignment wise, but I wanted to point it out to see how they responded to it.

These are the two posts, not counting the one you just made.

I don't see anything particularly scummy about these but there's a high noise-to-signal ratio right now. I think the best way to resolve this issue is to make this ratio smaller.

harumi can u give me like a sorta vibes list you have for each slot so far?

thanks

Where did I get that:

Did you read VD's post that I quoted?


Not sure you like or understand the line of questioning:

Neat. What goal did you have in trying to fence-sit (don't understand & "not sure" if like) undermine a line of questioning that just started?

I feel no need to defend my undermining of a clear strawman.

Oh wow, I missed this. I actually didn't mind the questioning. I didn't think it was that big a deal. Note of a potential Duchess pocket.

I mean is it really that uncommon that on Day 1 within 5 pages that this won't be the case with the majority of players?

Do you think Elements self-voting is alignment indicative in any way? Do you think Dunn's vote was random?

No and I presume yes

Also town vibes from RTP, Duchess, and maybe Datisi

I don't like this post. His phrasing makes it seem like that is a read he is going to hold on to and I really don't like a scumread based primarily on some dumb WIFOM.

In post 134, Duchess wrote:I feel no need to defend my undermining of a clear strawman.

didn't understand but now thinks it was a clear strawman

That's not a contradiction; I don't understand why you would ask such a loaded question if you are town.

Both RTP and VD correlated their answer about whether VD is bad at being scum with why he was quick-eliminated.

I asked about that because VD's post literally strings "I'm a bad scum player" with "I was quick-eliminated in RVS" in the span of three sentences.

That you first didn't understand this, but also didn't like it, and so felt the need to attack my question before it was even answered, but now think it was clearly strawmanning (?), and also a loaded question (?), looks like you're either actively defending VD or trying to find a reason to shade me or both.

I didn't interpret any sort of correlation between the two points in post 55, and I'm not sure why proximity trumps context for you in that respect. Italiano himself later explained there is no correlation in post 108.

I already explained what I meant by not liking or understanding it. Don't keep twisting people's words. This is not a defense of Italiano, this is an attack on what I saw as a possible setup for a scummy push. I'm not "trying to find a reason to shade" you, I know exactly what about you I find shady, and am making an honest inquest. Meanwhile, you are continuing to misrepresent others' words including my own, lazily discrediting my arguments with your "(?)"s, and projecting your own vague shadecasting onto me.

UNVOTE: Harumi

VOTE: Green Crayons

lol

I *know* what VD said in 101, because he explained himself—including clarifying that he was not linking his quality at being scum with his quick elim. Which is a big nothing and why I dropped it. Like I dropped all any line of Qs that are nothingburgers.

That you are contorting basic Q&A logic by saying *I’m* stawmanning and asking loaded Qs when both RTP and VD’s entire response to my Q contained a y/n and then what clearly appeared an explanation for that y/n by referring to the quick-elim (rather than assuming the reference to the quick elim was a non-sequitur, which is not how normal conversation operates) is so incredibly disingenuous, that your vote-and-attack by being gently pushed on this seems AI defensive.

Is GC bad at baseball?

Yes. He struck out the first time he went to the plate.

So GC is bad at baseball bc he struck out the first time you went to bat?


Trying to shade me for linking the yes/no longer to the immediately following observation, that I’m twisting words, is just so scummy.

Trying to shade me for connecting the
