i am unfortunately getting the feeling that some of your play right now is being driven by spite towards me rather than primarily a good faith effort to win the game for town. this is especially unfortunate because i hold none of the same sort of animosity towards you. the things you've alleged about me have upset me a lot because they go against everything that stand for and consider important, but i hold no hatred towards you or desire to tear you down. my only wish is for you to stop making comments of that nature, and perhaps to make more of a good faith effort to really understand the points that i'm trying to get across.

Then i think your scumgame is just really low. As i’ve identified slots that are strong townplayers and confidently sure they would correctly townread me and done what i can to pocket them by saying: "this is obviously my towngame" when i am scum, and it’s worked like an charm. What makes JJ and i uncapable of something you cannot?
almost nothing in mafia is about whether or not something is capable of something, it's about the probabilities. the
probability
that
any
town player with somewhat distinct towngames and scumgames would make a comment like that is—in my estimation—low, for the reasons that i said there. thus, i consider it town-indicative. you aren't the same kind of player as jjh is or as i am, so i wouldn't apply the same analysis to you that i would to him. just the same way i said that moon shouldn't apply the same analysis she would to scum!RC to jjh.
And this is exactly why scum would do so. Every good scumgame i've had i always try to do what i know people will think: "scum!Norwee would never do this".
I guess it makes sense for you to claim players are different, but in that case. Are you saying JJH has had the exact same playstyle in all his games up to now and never changed his strategies as scum?
Yeah nsg, that really isn’t a great argument. I am having more doubts but uh. I mean in uPick he was off the charts bleeding obvtown, so I would locktown him here if I saw that.
In a game just recently an quite good town player literally said i can’t be scum because i called another player that pushed me arrogant, and i: "only do that as town." And yeah, i was scum.
Did it intentionally too.
I’d say it depends on the player. There are some players I can actually pretty much alignment lock based off of this and others who do this sort of thing pretty much interchangeably irrespective of alignment.

I won’t name names but there is a player onsite - not in this game - who only says “I’m out of my scumrange” as town and I’ve seen others players who this is not ai for. Kochichi would be an excellent example of this. He has tells but they’re not at all obvious.

nothing that i'm saying regards your tone. the points i've been making have specifically been about the hurtful things you've alleged about me, and the fact that it seems like some of your recent posting is driven more by a spite towards me than by a desire to win the game for town.

it's a little difficult to reconcile your saying that you believe players can be sorted by meta with the things that you're saying here. the fact that some players that have claimed to have good accuracy on a player have been wrong in the past is—absent any other compelling evidence—not really strong evidence to doubt any individual claim, unless you just wholesale don't believe in meta sorting people.

i'm going to re-ask my question, because i'm not sure that i really see a clear answer to it here. you made the claim that what JJH said is "practically an example of the sort of WIFOMY statement scum~JJ makes if...". the question i'm asking is this: do you have some
specific
information about JJH as a player that leads to you making this claim? or is this statement based primarily off of your own scumplay and the belief that JJH would do something similar?

NK15, nom and moon are currently worrying me the most now. I’m still extremely paranoid about jjh and worry I’m being snowed. The activity thing from both you and nom really pinged me especially from you but the rest of your posts seem to be out of your scumrange so I don’t know. Norwee’s case on jjh is making me rethink a lot of things though, not just him.

It’s based on what i think JJ would be doing if he rolled scum and tries to win the game as scum.
I don’t have a lot of experience with JJ so i could be wrong but i would like to see an reason for why they should be read as town if i were to change my read to town on them.

I never stopped scumreading Fey hydra, but I give space in situations where I feel trigger happy, particularly in games where two stumps are advocating a wait and see approach. And I'm not ashamed of taking confirmed town reads into account when I'm not impartial due to history with Nancy.
this bothered me when I initially saw it but I didn't get around to questioning it: What does moon mean by "particularly in games where two stumps are advocating a wait-and-see approach". Does moon have prior experience with that type of scenario?

I intially felt like moon didn't really live up to this post but thinking about how moon handled me and house it kinda resembles solving around the Fey hydra, with how moon questioned our hesitation

1. That is a lie, you've made the "giving space" post very early on in your iso but still interacted and wrote a case about the hydra being scum in the meantime
2. The "I know it's next level play to you to actually take into account other people's reads" is highly not necessary and comes off as discrediting a very valid point
3. So your whole argument is that you want to play as a team so I assume this means that you are basically saying you are more or less trying to follow the stumps in their assessments. While that is a fair assessment, I don't buy that, as town:
>You basically give up your nancy push because of that
>You change your gamma read from town to scum because of that (because I assume this is what it is, considering you confidently say you townread gamma early on, then for no reason include him in your hypothetical scumteam, and the only explanation I see that could justify that is norwee saying he thinks the slot is scummy)
That last self-defeating line also doesn't strike me as town at all and feels more like trying to sell to me a town mindset that doesn't exist.
I feel pretty confident that you're scum here. None of this makes sense.
I had to check this, looks like the idea that moon townread me may come from breaking up me and house as well as our early interactions starting at post 685 and going on for a small bit
also I didn't catch the correlation between norwee thinking me scummy and moon's SR on me I think, or at least I didn't think to comment on it, now that I think about it I had a passing thought on it

This is understating what nom is saying by essentially claiming nom is plugging his ears to moon's posts. From what I'm seeing nom wasn't doing that, he just hadn't been swayed by any of it.

I think it won't devolve into that considering you don't even have a case on me!
I think you would be scared to delve into this argument because you don't have an explanation for some things I pointed out, even if we ignore this whole point I made about your interaction with nancy being off, there are still things like your shifting Gamma read that makes absolutely no sense, would make sense you would try to avoid that discussion :]

I know this is sarcasm but it's not fluff, implicit in this post is how aware of the gamestate nom actually is. I don't think it's unreasonable for her to have reads other than moongrass scum.
I don't see what moon is getting at here, again, there's the assumption that nom has no other reads because none have been stated. A lot of people assume I lack reads because I don't bother to post a list very often in most games. They exist, but in my case you typically have to actually keep track. It's not really my job to handhold people through my reads. It's honestly annoying how people will not bother to notice my reads and then suggest I haven't been posting them.
Aaaand I'm ranting now.
In post 1197, nomnomnom wrote:I think I like N_M, House and jjh for town right now.
Cyrus as I stated could go either way, he's just a very unorthodox player.
I've got some pings towards mastina early on, not because of the early list like other players stated, but it's gut and she feels different from the MBOS game we played together. Feels a bit less impassioned in this game than in the other one, although I'm unsure because of a few factors that could influence that kind of thing.
Also, again, I don't understand where that gamma scumread comes from.
this post I don't think was fabricated in the time between when moon asked aobut reads and when nom posted it, it's too detailed. As such it reinforces my point that unstated reads can still exist.

It's not the tone, the question itself is in bad faith (much like the "case" on me) just because you don't have someone in your solve, doesn't mean you townread them. Regardless of the question I feel like NK is pulling reads out of his ass at an opportune time.
moon took this opportunity to try to make nom look worse and discredit his push on them. They also shaded NK while they were at it. Moon pretty much tried to mudsling as hard as possible when given an opening.

I mean, looking at it now it just seems like nom was trying to draw definitive reads out of NK15, that seems like a town-motivated thing to do. The reason it read as in bad faith was just the tone of the questioning that was going on. Aside from that it’s legit.
In post 1218, nomnomnom wrote:How is it bad faith to ask this question when a player rescinds a scumread from a solve because he thinks you and the hydra can't be scum together?
If he thinks you're scum, then I ask him if his two scumreads can be scum together and he answers "no" and removes the hydra from his solve, surely that can mean he thinks the hydra can be town because of that fact, yes?
I think there’s an unstated issue of the fact that someone not being scum with a person and thinking the latter person is scum not really making the former a townread.
In post 1282, Moongrass wrote:I think he's town actually. I'm going to find it hard to sort nom, NK read doesn't change.
(Gonna quickly establish that the “he” is me)
Thinking about this and having looked at the context (Moon asked House about how he read me, House answered that he thought me suspect but wasn’t sure essentially, Moon then posts this) it kinda feels like moon was already decided on how to read me at this time and opted to try to inject an in-thread interaction to explain the switch better.
Also, I think I just solved something that has been puzzling me for a good while.

first messed up readlist, and I’d like to use this as a starting point to explain something. If it seems like I’m biased against moon, I’m not. I just am trying to pursue the truth. There are some parts that don’t exactly fit into the picture of moon being scum. But for the most part I think the best explanation for all of the erratic play by moon is that they are scum trying to mold their positioning without perceiving exactly how it will damage their credibility.

Nevermind I'm going to assume this is it.
how has gamma somehow emerged top of your list all of a sudden?
Around this time nom pretty much mind melds with me wrt the questions we’re asking. My personal conditioning has taught me these come from town a bit more than scum, so this perhaps constitutes my best reason to TR nom that isn’t based around the moon scumread

In post 1173, Moongrass wrote:I'm thinking it's nom^3/gamma/NK15.
Like I don't get what changed from this post, Gamma hasn't posted much that seemed to be AI, unless you disagree.
Also I think House's theory is plausible and I have the same line of thought. Scums like to include other scums in their solve, so if NK flips scum I think Moon has a high chance of being scum here, not only from his reaction towards the wagon approaching death, but also because of how scums like to distance each others usually.
I found out from my own play that it feels intuitive that whenever you post a solve early game as scum, you feel tempted to add a partner to your solve list at another position than number 1 and you do not vote them first, the idea being that if that partner gets voted up and limmed, you can say they were in your solve from the get go. This fits this pattern, so I can buy that sort of theory if NK flips scum.
Again, one of my concerns was my lack of posting between when the elimination moratorium was lifted and moon’s townread on me forming. It came in a different location, but this seems like we again asked the same question, just in reaction to different bits of what moon said. I find these near-matches even more convincing than when someone’s thought match mine perfectly when I’m searching for mind meld TRs, since it’s harder to create a similar sounding and viable thought process than it is to copy something wholesale. It’s why I commonly will add my opinion if I’m joining a wagon, since I believe tossing in my two cents help drive the discussion and makes my vote go down smoother.

Spoon feeding implies that I can go look up the information myself in your ISO and see clear as day what exactly got you to change your mind about gamma this much. There is no such thing in there, so I ask you directly why.
Also I don't know why you think I added nothing to this game, didn't you vote NK because you thought one of his responses towards one of my questions was hilarious? Surely that achieved something :P

That call is also because I know Cyrus as a player and I read the reasons that some slots have to vote there and I call that pure mislimbait because this is what I know of Cyrus' playstyle.
I also disagree with Moon calling the read easy. I think town!Cyrus and scum!Cyrus actually have subtle differences between them that are not immediately obvious.

Okay so about this “ex-friend”. Based on the timing and wording of the first post I could find with the ex-friend mentioned, I see it as possible that the ex-friend is House.

I skim read everyone and kept making readlists that made no sense based on potential teams. I kept putting jjh up top and when I shifted him down, the team of FMFT/mastina/jjh didn't look as bad as the others.
Jjh is playing a great game here, but it's too great, almost clinical minus his hiccup at the start defending me.

Nom I think is town based on her interactions that aren't her pushing into me. Her response to you in particular, shifted my read there.

There are plenty of players here that know mastina well enough to not be scumreading her in the dark, and her shift on the hydra was just gross.

If mastina and jjh are not partnered I don't think that nullifies jjh being scum if mastina is just unengaged.
why the obsession on having a logical team Day 1? just push your scumreads the best you can. Once flips happen you can start worrying about teams. In fact you mention elsewhere your reads are in flux Day 1, why are you trying to construct a team if you don't have hard reads?

I guess frustration is a form of anger. Generally there's a very distinctive difference between town anger and scum anger tonally. Scum tend to have weird tone shifts at weird times but town tend to get angry in spots that make sense and usually more intensely than scum.

See this reason is why you're still in the back of my mind considering some weird tone shifts in the middle of anger lol
That was largely why I asked you about your ex-friend and I got a weird tone shift right at that instant and that just made me feel "yeah this is scum".
It's so weird that you're the one telling me this too.
One side of me just thinks I was right on the money from the get go, but I think the rational side of me wants to take a look again at this game and just take my time to see what would make the most sense for scums here.
yeah, I feel like the part about being melodramatic could in part be a cover for performative play. I'd need to actually figure out moon's main to make a certain call on that, which I could potentially do? The name dropping of RC and mastina in the context of TM puts a solid cap on the number of people moongrass could be (the true maximum is like 70ish just culling the most obvious not-its)
I know I said I'd keep the main a secret and I still pretty much intend to do that to the best of my abilities, but I need to cite my sources somewhat so if someone else gets there as well I don't think I'm entirely at fault.

Obviously not immediately after my review, it all came flooding back with your behaviour after the townread. My reads are not set in stone yet, when I have the team sorted I'll be sure to let you know. If your only argument is that it's scummy to change reads then you've missed the boat, that was so 5 pages ago. Come with something fresh.
If you’re town, moon, I frankly think you need to stick to something, because flitting between reads just doesn’t function as a play style. I may sometimes jump tracks on my train of thought but there’s practically always a trigger. With you I can’t see any direct cause other than you “thought about it”. That’s certainly possible but the fact you frequently walk back those reads make them essentially meaningless. When I was starting out I had to learn to move my vote less, because my habit is to use it as a pressure tool, and if I’m constantly switching votes then the pressure I’m creating with it is practically nonexistent.

Dont like moon piggybacking off of House like this. Slightly strikes me as a play like something I pulled in a game where I replaced House (to help him out, I mean Family Mafia). I tried to echo a town player’s thinking as scum and got caught out on it.

This doesn’t feel right. Why does it seem like nom is the only person moon has pushed when it comes to picking and choosing points as actually scummy? Moon brought it up with me and House but didn’t push us over it. Seems like Moon is just pushing points when it suits their agenda.
There’s also the fact moon seems to be trying to convince nom that he is scum, which I kinda feel scum do a little more often than town based on when I’ve noticed myself doing it but I can’t remember anytime recently I’ve done it.

I'm very much aware of your reason for townreading me back then, but it still doesn't explain why that warranted me to be on top of your list, and why you've suddenly changed your read on me.

A dogpile of two votes? I think my game has been anything but going with what's favorable. If that were true I would've stayed on NK instead of prodding around elsewhere and vanity voting house. I also could have just gone straight for jjh without much trouble but decided to discuss instead like a sleazy politician.
I don’t think moon’s been going with exactly what’s favorable in the thread climate, but the shifts to me feel like moon is scum with an agenda trying to adapt to the game state a bit too much and it results in logical dissonance.

So overall I think even on his own nom looks somewhat towny, and moongrass potentially being town I don't think detracts from that. And if moon is scum nom is practically conftown for me.

Part of me feels like I could have done more on that but knowing myself the sooner I got that done the better

I’d see one of Moon/JJ eliminated today. I’d find their flips immensely helpful.

It’s based on what i think JJ would be doing if he rolled scum and tries to win the game as scum.
Okay. What would you say if I told you that—in my experience—players who have fairly distinct town and scum games don't tend to make comments like this? If I told you that, given that me and JJH are relatively similar players in terms of how we've been pushed as scum and given that I think our reactions would be somewhat similar, I think that the fact that I would never say what he said as scum is weak evidence that he also wouldn't? If I told you that, based on my
personal
evaluation of how JJH plays as town and as scum, he is not the kind of person who would employ the strategy that you described as scum, but is the kind of person who would have a high degree of confidence that his towngame shines through when he is town?

The sort of strategy that you're alleging that scum!JJH employed here is one that a certain style of scum player might employ. I do not think that JJH is that style of scum player. Just as I told moon earlier, scum!RC might say something like that, but almost nobody plays scum like RC does, so it doesn't make sense to apply tells based around RC to players who don't play like him. I understand that it might be sort of unsatisfying to just hear me say that "JJH isn't that kind of player", but I genuinely don't know how I could explain that at a lower level. If I could, I would be doing it.
