This game started about 5 hours ago and we are already at 9 pages. wow.
Time for a decently-sized catch-up post I guess.
Notable Posts I Found:
33 Well that's something only two people participated in. I'd be more inclined to believe that both are town rather than that at least one is scum. If it's several people doing this, we have way more reason to believe that at least one (or two) of them are mafia.
38 This makes no sense. If the vanilla townie claim post was a joke, that's NAI at its finest. If the post wasn't a joke and BM actually is claiming Vanilla Townie, then I think that is more likely to come from town than scum as if BM tries to claim anything else he'd have to explain why.
64 I don't like this post. If you're newer than you probably won't have much meta, that's right. I have 2 completed games and 4 other games that I flaked out of, so I don't have much meta either. Meta does work when you're playing with people you've played before. It's one of the scumhunting tools people use. But just one. Doesn't mean it's unreliable.
92 I disagree. Retaining the explanation forever is anti-town, but keeping it hidden for a short-term period in an effort to get reactions is definitely not.
96 I can understand what you're trying to say here, but I don't think that's indicative of BM being scum. I'd expect scum to keep their options of mislynches open especially this early in the game. Also, only a few hours have passed. You can't make much of a conclusion from here.
119 I don't see how this doesn't make sense. Just because I scumread you does not mean that you should be scumreading me. It's perfectly fine for Datisi to think that Noraa is mafia, and at the same time Noraa being unsure about Datisi's alignment.
149 So which one out of the two is more scummy to you?
195 I don't know you can accurately predict the scumteam when we're only a few hours into the game and when most of the player-list hasn't posted yet. If I had to guess, I think at least 2 of the scum haven't actually posted substantially in this thread yet. If you, Datisi, and BM are all town, then it's very possible all three of the mafia are just lurking.
200 It's perfectly acceptable to vote someone who hasn't talked, kind of like making a pressure vote.
209 I really agree with this.
210 Where did Taylor think that some of the things BM said were AI? I'm not seeing those posts.
Basically:
-I don't like how Noraa is continuing arguing with Battle Mage while at the same time not getting reads on other players. He said that "we should also find the other mafia" but hasn't actually done this? Doesn't make sense at all. I'm definitely scumreading this slot at the monent.
-I'm townleaning BM a bit because most of his posts are things I'd more likely see coming from town!BM than scum!BM. Just a gut feeling at the moment. Could change though.
-I cannot read Datisi at all after looking at his posts. Null for now.
-I don't like Menalque's exchange with Taylor where he questions Taylor why she is voting for someone who hasn't posted, and continues to push that despite Taylor making a very fair explanation. I'm scumleaning this slot at the moment.
-While I think it's likely that Noraa and Menalque can be scum individually, I don't think that both are scum, simply because most of the playerbase hasn't posted much substantial content. Not casting a vote on either yet because I'd like to wait until most of the playerlist has interacted with the game before making a serious scumreading vote.
