I don't really want to go into this since I don't want you to shoot there, but I think the implication of your post is that NM sucks as town and I kinda disagree on that.

I don't really remember Cakez's scum meta to this extent and in my recent memory of him as scum he just went down fast and hard so not a useful answer, sorry.

I can explain Tammy/my bussing metas but I don't think that's what you're looking for from this?

I think it's VERY SCUMMY, even taking NM's playstyle into consideration, but I have no prior experience. I'm taking a gamble on the basis of a SINGLE SOLITARY POST, "Who is Duchess?". And if NM is town, I think NM misses every. single. solitary. time. It's damn near gamethrowing to shoot there unless I'm 100% certain beyond all doubt, and I am distinctly not.

This is an anti-town mindset.

For one, lazy people think that Not_Mafia fucks off all the time, always lurks, never posts. That's not the whole story. He is certainly capable of more - he is a gigantic fucking troll, and popcorn mafia is the environment where trolls thrive UNLESS said trolls are scum. Do you really think that someone who is so proud of how much he aggravates people isn't advocating to get shot 24/7? Because I don't think so - I think Not_Mafia being able to lord a gun over the rest of the game would excite him, and I think he'd enjoy playing the part of jester to get the gun in his hands.

Secondly, there hasn't really been a concentrated push on Not_Mafia. Instead scum like petapan is pushing people like me - why? If Not_Mafia is town, then I guarantee scum want the gun in his hands, but there hasn't been a push on him from fucking ANYONE, and he's the easiest person in the game to push.

Finally, you? Afraid to gamble? Don't stand in your own way here; I need you playing to win. If this game ends any way other than you concurrently shooting the next four scum, then I will be disappointed in you. You're correct that Not_Mafia is scummy as shit and needs to be dealt with; there's no reason for you to leave him for the next person.

i was suggesting he could be scum before anyone but lol ok

i just think if he was town scum would've given him the gun first

scum want to give the gun to a threat so that said threat is out of the way early
it's better for a strong town player to shoot a shitty town player and then that shitty town player shoots poorly than it is for shitty town player to get the gun immediately and shoot randomly

But it's good to have you around; I appreciate you posting. I'm sorry you're in such a shitty position, but, if it makes you feel any better, I respect you quite a bit for not rolling over and dying like so many others would!

im glad we agree on a read

And I was going to spend time making a Dunn town case but I don't think I'm even gonna do that? Dunn's reads are pretty fire, got no problem with him getting the gun.
Again, disappointed if Mush lets NOT MAFIA + HUB + PETAPAN + WHEMESTAR survive but Dunn nails 3/4 of those immediately, so no problems there.

I think I'm just kind of... done with thinking about stuff?

I think we agree on a lot! We agree on Not_Mafia and HUB needing to die first.
I don't remember the rest of your solve, though.

i dont do "solves", what a disgusting word

sorry bud i'll try that post again

I don't remember if you've expressed any other scumreads, though.

i think stt looks bad for trying to take advantage of me pushing you on day 2

NM and HUB and Wheme are universal scumread ya?

HUB before me please I don’t want to be forced into such a boring shot as HUB

Yeah, I don't think anyone except HUB is too torn up about HUB being the shot. Seems like a player I could trust to hit red, too. I got one concern is all.

Can anyone else think of a non-Imperium slot that hasn't been just telling everyone to shoot Norfolk/HUB from game start? Like, has literally /anyone/ else tried to apply the brakes there? Even on Day 1? In fact, wasn't the opposite the case; pretty much everyone jumping on the "Imperium scum" train for taking caution on reading that slot during the /single digit page numbers/ of the start of the game?

Who started that trend, also? Who first called for Imperium's head on the basis of "I won't scumread this on this thin of evidence"?

I mean I'm looking forward to shooting Cakez and kinda just want to get on with it lol

I've been trying to townspew enough that you don't kill yourself on me but it's probably better for you to shoot me so I can shoot scum than have you shoot something like NM and miss and then have NM shoot me and miss

Why do you think NM is town here?

I think STT would be a great shot

In post 1819, Imperium wrote:Why do you think NM is town here?

he'd probably at some point try or care about the game as scum, as town he doesn't give a shit about getting shot

I am fine with HUB being shot as well by the way

I just don't like lining up my PoE and saying it shoot it in order

Not unless I have the gun

No defense of yourself, unwnd? Now's your chance, as I said upthread, and you seemed quite invested in changing my mind before. Ears are open, I'm willing to talk it out.

Like, sure, I could be wrong, most reads of NM will be close to rand, but if his alignment is just rand then he's town at least a simple majority of the time here
