hey actually i was writing up a post explaining how i constantly wanted to vote rosske throughout the game but kept persuading myself to vote for a townie instead (KTS, Phantom)... but er
is pretty impressive from Rosske if he's karnos's partner. Luna votes karnos, transcend snap-votes luna, and rosske pushes transcend about it. there's nothing really there at that spot to suggest he's hard-pushing a counter-wagon to karnos, or that he's busy bussing karnos for the town credit, etc. Not hard-clearing, but it seems fairly hard to fake that there.

There's an interaction tell that I like to use from time to time, see:
Spoiler: interactions as a tell
the basic theory
Ugluk wrote:Scum have no genuine questions of their brethren, so it is difficult to appear to engage in earnest, and often they don’t even think to try, beyond light banter and distancing votes.
# posts where ranger is talking to him: ZERO (unless I missed something)
Note that here I'm counting interactions as talking TO someone (clear response to a post, asking/answering a question, etc) as opposed to talking ABOUT someone.
So here's my loose count of interactions to/from karnos:
So at this point that's pretty clearing for thor, giga and luna
(here's a newbie with a thor-dewy team, http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... er_sort=Go, they talk in 51, 58, 91, 130, 146, 336, and much of it was empty interactions - which compares to Thor's large amount of interactions with LQ, and more substantive interactions w a bunch of other slots too, most notably frog and Zyf)

tbf rosske has misrepped events in the game twice that i'm not sure what to think of it
It's usually a town thing to do that, right? But at the same time, he completely misrepresented Transcend to justify his push on him.
I'm really sorry I'm being kind of lazy this game, the other game I'm in is pretty much taking up all of my mental energy (in a positive way)! Not really sure if I'm crazy enough about what's going on here to really delve into it hard afterwards but I'm not planning on stretching myself out anymore.

I just hope you understand why I'm so pissed when not one single lynch I've wanted has gained more than half the amount of votes needed to be lynched. Makes me feel kinda ~useless~.

nah i feel you it's just
i've never felt so clueless about a mafia game... in face-to-face games i'm usually the one pulling the game's weight as either alignment, and even in my newbie where i never once voted scum i thought i knew what i was doing. here i was so sure about krankles, but now that he's gone it just feels like there isn't even scum hiding among us.

i just can't see myself wanting to ever lynch tenshii over rosske like ever
so far scum!transcend's reads feel pretty safe/normal but i'm still early in the game
no crazy moon logic there

scum!Transcend is very aggressive about defending his townreads, notably. i'm at page 17 atm, still early game but i'm trucking through.
look at this post from that game, it's like he knew shotty was town all along... idk maybe it's because i know who scum are but still, i haven't seen him put this much argumentative fire into defending tenshii. most of his focus is on pushing Rosske.
the point is though i don't really think tenshii is shotty here.... that might change as i read but still
also the reason i'm doing this is to mostly reaffirm that the townbloc isn't shit... because i don't see the issue of powertownlynching Rosske/Tenshii/someone else if we can be sure that {Thor, Wingback, Giga, and one of transcend/mhsmith} are entirely town... the original townbloc had transcend in it but mhsmith has brought more to the game at least (luv u transcend :C </3) so i don't know. i have to see how mhsmith plays as scum later

I'm not very good at meta-ing people by reading their games if that's not clear. There isn't that much of a translation from face-to-face mafia to forum mafia, the closest thing there is to it is personally knowing the other players, which you can't do by reading about them.

like i said, you can't meta me
i play identical games as both alignments.
i defend my townreads to the death as both alignments, because it betters my win.
