I'm fine with this. For the day.

Ah, I see what you're saying for plot reasons one kitty leaves the clan/is evil.
While Titus is the good rogue kitty that comes in to shore up the clan that had a loss/betrayal.
Makes sense from a plot point perspective.
...I forgot what Ydra said about this. *shrug* I'm sure someone will dig it up.
there were no discussions in river clan about mastina.In post 1599, Bell wrote:We of the river clan* have reached a consensus.
Vote Mastina.
*it’s the royal we.

Why would you act like its a general conscious?

Nevermind. It fits. Nothing to be paranoid about there.

But if mastina was hard for why would you trust what they say in first place?In post 802, Bell wrote:I meant, I trust neither you nor Mastina.

that are pretty bold joking and is a thing town would be way less comfortable saying in general. and the questions that have 0 value in evaluation (that's just an example he asked same kind of questions multiple times)In post 783, Bell wrote:@FrozenAngel: why aren’t you scum this game?

Though their reads are a tad weird. I'd get into it, but if I did then Mastina and I would get in a back and forth about Mastina.
Nobody wants that except Mastina.
I noticed KT’s post about Alisae’s opportunism, noticed Dannflor’s vote, and looked more into it and noticed Dannflor’s weird progression. I think the whole thing is a bit scummy for Dannflor and not scummy for Alisae.In post 1597, Titus wrote:I read this post and I don't know how you feel about Dann and Alisae.In post 1596, T3 wrote:Especially because Dannflor expressed significant doubt about the wagon on you multiple times before voting you, and you even quoted a post from Dannflor in the same post that you called Alisae opportunist, so you clearly saw Dannflor’s vote and doubt about the wagon on you.
If anything, Dannflor was more opportunist than Alisae. Alisae strongly scumread you and got into a conflict with you, expressing very little doubt as to your alignment. So, Alisae’s vote on you can be explained as town voting a scumread because there are more votes on the scumread, but Dannflor’s vote can be explained as inconsistent scum voting a limbait.
1090 was his good post from earlier actually cause its very analytical in general. his null read on your slot is really conservative here ad I don't think its alignment indicative. his take about you being confident despite being away for a year makes small sense though but the confusion about your confidence is not a confusion about your alignment and it doesn't scream as he is trying to solve your slot for it. in other words a scum could also be surprised by a town confidence on someone else's meta if they were away for a while tooIn post 1090, Bell wrote:I don't really agree with Danfloor that they need a solid scum read to approach the game as they do. Though maybe they're more subtle about it but I can think of a few instances where they felt slightly more natural as town then they've been here.
I was largely mollified once they got back and walled but it looks like Catboi actualy read through them and tried to see the motivation there.
I don't think "contribution" or "tactical posting" is exactly hitting it for me, simply because yeah we could all be supporting the game better than we inevitably end up doing. Dann was on my radar then he got off of it. It's noted though.
I think the confidence Catboi is showing is appropriate to their post about Dann, I.e., they feel that of the players available they think it's the surest bet but it's Day 1 and so it's not actually a very sure bet, so I can see where their placement is and it doesn't make a total lack of sense to me. I do think they've been a bit more clear than I'm used to, but it's not terribly clear why that is, but I tend to think their catboi is a different playstyle and I dunno if they do it purposely or I just don't understand it but I think it slightly controls for the approach.
It has occurred to me that Alisae hasn't played in a full year and their approach this game doesn't really reflect that at all, which is pretty confusing to me. They're confident they can read Norwe better than anyone else, but Norwe has been playing an additional year of mafia while they haven't. It doesn't make sense to me, but I actually don't think it's scummy. Just weird. I'm not sure how much I should be taking of their previous play from the last year, but it reminds me more of their town play if anything, given their conviction being stronger as town (up to fake claiming masons with somebody), I see what people are suspecting about informed Alisae going all in for cred, but I'm not sure that it's in character for Alisae to do that, I don't really have enough data.
Frozen Angel, I'm just genuinely confused about, they feel very cookie cutter, it's focused, there's nothing especially wrong with it, but I don't see creativity or spontaneity in it yet. This kind of read I always tend to be wrong on and a spade is simply a spade but flag waving is always a little odd to me.
@T3, hello fellow Cat. I'm a cat.
This is not explained well so I'm not sure what gave them the progression on norwee read.In post 1424, Bell wrote:My neutral read on Norwe is dead. Long live a town lean.
and 700 posts later you just decided to vote the slot cause they had an emotional melt down and not because of the wagon on the slot and possible heat there?In post 1611, Bell wrote:See: opportunism.In post 822, Bell wrote:I'm semi-inclined to town read Mastina anyway because they aren't making excuses for why they aren't posting or having a breakdown even though I know it's old data and I think they got over it.

The vote movement is all over the place and chaotic and most votes had no context. he votes mastina and has fos on her throughout the day without explaining much about it yet instantly jumps on norwee when mastina says she is 97% sure norwee is scum. and then responds to alisae this:

and then bell moves vote and plays on other heated players here and there without asking questions to sort them
and votes T3 cause asked by alisae without any questions out of nowhere just to jump back on mastina again?
I can't follow this mindset progress from a town perspective. It seems incredibly inconsistent in development
and there are these posts:

pedit: will respond to you in next post
I didn't say why he changed votes so much.In post 1615, NorwegianboyEE wrote:@FA in response to "why is Bell chsnging votes so much" i don’t think this specific point is scummy. Changing votes is overall pretty townie imo because it shows a lot of re-evaluation and such. I wouldn’t clear them from being scum but i don’t think this particular point is scummy.
But what if a scum you had more use from having a vote on mastinaIn post 1621, Bell wrote:That’s a trajectory fail Angel.
Attention was slightly moving away from Mastina/people were digesting the T3 thing.
I thought about it and decided that I’d seen enough from Mastina to act on it.
I could be wrong. But I telegraphed it and they tripped it anyway. There’s a reason people have meta on Mastina related to this and it’s largely because they have issues with flexibility.
Literally said it in thread and they did it anyway.
how is being stubborn/wrong translating to being scum? whats the scum mind set behind that stance?In post 1623, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Mastina having a meltdown isn't really the problem. It's that they are not changing their reads, not responding to a lot of very valid arguments that is questioning their conclusions, and then having a meltdown.
Which combined is so bleeping scummy.
