providing additional reasons for why you would be playing differently, while it did draw my attention to you seeming to not have a consistent mindset, is v different than walking the original statement back completely and saying that you were in no way intending to imply that you were playing differently for strategic reasons

and im p sure if you had done that d1 then peta would have jumped on you for it

except I never said that and obviously saying that I'm busier is basically the same thing as what I'm saying now so ???

It really feels like you're making this up. I understand why someone would be suspicious of me in a vacuum but this argument feels like you started at the premise "ausuka is scum" and then made up reasoning to reach that viewpoint. Like, why would I use different strategies for targeting peta - someone I have never even played with outside marathon games - than anyone else???

ok my initial reaction was to be frustrated with this, but after sitting back and thinking on it, it feels like it's possible that i might just be reading a lot more into some of your phrasing than you were probably intending?

and the fact that you seem to still not be understanding the nuance makes me think you might actually just be town bc idk if this is the approach that you take if you were scum who does actually know what im talking about

ill drop it for now ig

VOTE: RCE

Scrolled through Nero Cain's iso to see who might want Nero dead, and gotta say. It is absolutely wild that Nero and Peta were both killed in a town Vivax world.

But also, I could see the scum team thinking Nero was a vig, although the "softs" were pretty loud to be real. But if they did believe it, it might have had more to do with that then any of his reads.

I names I found that he might want dead are :

Damn I've gotten lazy. Thanks. Tbh I need to get my mind to other things than mafia and am slacking heavily and getting my soul sucked in by this thing too much, but that's just the nature of the matter called internet, or leviathan maybe, or jormungandr, or python.
I keep wondering if various religions kept talking about this thing, I could see it.

So what do you think of just lazy inheriting Ausuka and Titus SR's here? Considering how Nero was threatening me most of the time, one could assume the reads would have been a good motivator for scum to shoot him.

If you're in the mood for some introspection, assign the attribute:
Bites the hands that feeds to players in this game while you are at it too
and decide if it's a virtue or a sin

or don't, it's of no relevance to me

I just want to say that the way that Mastina approached Ircher is the text book way that scum!Mastina engages with her scum partners.

Scum!Mastina talking about her scum buddies, scum!Ircher and scum!cephrir in Control. (I know these posts are in the 400's, but they are all in the first like 5 posts mastina made in the game. It kinda took off while she was busy)



??!Mastina talking about scum!Ircher in this game:



And here is every post that Ircher made before she was 1,000% sure that Ircher was scum (3 of them)



And to be clear, she not once mentions the tmi aspect of his second post.

I struggle to believe that town!Mastina actually has this level of certainty on her Ircher read without that, and I think it makes much more sense that this is a patent pending, Mastina designed, scum/scum partner interaction.

I think that they are worth considering, but I don't just blindly accept others reads.

Peta's talked a lot about his Titus read, and as such I understood, and agreed with it. So, his read is part of my own read atp. But when pressed on the Ausuka read, he kinda fell back into "well, its just vibes really" so, while the Peta kill does not point away from Ausuka, I am not really factoring it into my own read of the slot.

Considering how Nero was threatening me most of the time, one could assume the reads would have been a good motivator for scum to shoot him.

I cannot actually tell if this is sarcastic or not lol

Well honestly from that, I feel even better about following mastina on Roden

If you already scum read Roden, then mastina being scum should probably not affect it, or vice versa.

But Mastina does not bus every partner every game. Control is just the most egregious example I know of lol

Yeah, that's kinda how I was feeling. I feel sketchy on both of them, Uncrowned was asking if I was worried about mastina pushing mislims with the free time I want to give her, and the answer was "not really".

meh
the tone is just off, isn‘t it supposed to be good?

I think it‘s going to be impossible for me to ever TR Luke this game.
It‘s a miracle if they can townread themselves. Everything about them spells self-doubt

And ‚I don‘t just blindly accept other‘s reads‘ is funny in context

Aside from you just having summarized them for no reason that would be relevant to you, then?

You're not getting this one. Putting aside your own thoughts, surely the logic of leading on mafia granting players temporary immunity is a healthy one for a town win.

There is a difference between checking to see who might have a reason to want them dead, and

If you don't see the difference, that's a you problem.

I‘ll use my vote symbolically then, which was kinda the point of my mafia games anyway, which is to unmask by virtue of real action in the virtuality of the realm of lies.
My academic friend is enthralled with me for this feat.

It feels like you have repeatedly misunderstood what I was doing and why I was doing it, then asking questions based on your own misunderstanding, then calling me obviously scum because my response does not line up with that misunderstanding. Before your claim, I thought it was purposeful. But I guess not. Almost feels like we talk different languages.

Which is kinda frustrating on its own, but also you apparently have the ability to kill me out right. So that's double the fun.

I am accepting that you just kill me tonight, and I am gonna try and get all my thoughts out before the day ends. Feel free to not respond to me at all, and then kill me tonight. Engaging with you is draining and I have not really enjoyed any interaction we have had. So, I'm gonna tune you out until I am dead. And then you are probably dead too, and then we can commiserate at the fact that we both lock!scum read the other this game from the dead thread.

Please bare with me. I just found out work is having me on a very long road trip.

That‘s a very diplomatic and reasonable approach, but I have to holster tonight anyways I think.
The only thing I commiserate is dawdling earlier, and playing too many games. I don‘t get paid for this after all and will need some place without internet soon to untrain all this scrolling.

But the single most important way you’re pointing to for identifying Scum in the game from day play conflicts directly with that vote. The fact that you’re not even acknowledging that is bizarre.

I'm voting Titus because it's a read on how she plays the game as scum. She kills threats and stays low key. I can scum read her independently of how I think the scum team played around Ircher's slip. If you think that's a scummy thought process then you're gonna have to explain why because I don't get it.

I don’t hate this Titus read. Of all the Titus!scumreads this game this is the only one that doesn’t come off as BS. That said I think you’re missing the mark regardless. Titus I town here and I’d bet Fire’s life on it.


In game ofc.

What‘s the deal with betting fire‘s life?
Considering it‘s in the shortlist of Enigma at that point, one could think he‘s outing himself and fire.

Sigh...Why do I always reject votes on too obvious ones. It‘s hardcoded

Catching up now.

In post 1016, Ausuka wrote:Specifically I'd like titus to elaborate on why she thought Ircher is scum without buying into the TMI argument - she votes him without really pushing there and then says 'dude's not town'

Her progression around ircher and linking him with SS just feels sort of awkward, imo

Part of it was bluster. I suspected Ircher wasn't town based on the fact I had initial townreads on the other wagons. If those two wagons were town, then it's likely a scum diversion. Doubly so given I didn't feel town off Ircher's posting.

Giving a strong opinion can elicit reactions. My posturing would have the effect of either a) making it near impossible to get a counterwagon going without defending Ircher or b) whiteknights of Ircher (if he was town).

When I got FoSed for pushing Ircher by multiple slots, I knew I was on the right track. I doubled down. I didn't want to be obvtown anyway, doubly so if it meant scum getting away.

After I catch up, I'll eyeball some VCA.

i really would hope that nobody would spend enough productivity points to n1 hero shot vig but i also wouldn't be that surprised

nero and peta kills both make sense as NKs tho

Agree with this.

can you explain what made you think this? quoting the vc makes it seem like it was based on that but i don't really get it

Quoting the VC was explaining why Ircher. Getting 4 small wagons is unlikely to be all town. Sometimes, but not often, multiple scum can be wagoned. See that game where I was in the Nashville Dreams hydra. (Which reminds me Mala's probably town.)

Ydrasse was leading the group in scumhunting early so the wagon on them made no sense. The Auska wagon was wtf. Mastina is rarely someone to vote N1, even with no claim. That left Ircher as a great place to sort.

I'm shocked neither Ydrasse Ausuka or mastina died. Suggests a blatant denial of vca info since at least Ydrasse and mastina are universal TRs.

In post 1040, Andresvmb wrote:I would game that there’s one Scum in {Vivax, PenguinPower}. And mastina not dying is both expected and not a good sign.

Why bet the game on the scum in there? I think Vivax claimed vig. PenguinPower lockscum doesn't seem to follow.

Why is mastina not dying a "bad sign"? It's too early to determine what's a sign.

Who is town?
