Barely participating? A bit. You made one RVS post and then vanished. That's not good.
You've also been acting fairly defensive, not answering questions, not sharing your thoughts. Not townie behavior.
You can argue semantics about it not being fluff if you like, but you didn't stick around to do anything with any reactions that you might've gotten.
But it's still very early

Focusing solely on someone's activity is unfortunately a poor method of finding scum, sometimes there are players who lurk because they have a hard time faking it, but other times people are just naturally disinterested. (granted, my last scumgame offsite, I was miserably frozen and flaked out, but I don't think I'd have that problem here because it's so much slower paced).

I think "defensive" is a term that gets thrown around whenever someone bothers to defend themself, at all, which is a fairly natural thing in a game of mafia. It's an accusation that has very little meaning. Why do you see my not answering qusetions as scummy?
It's a very easy thing to comply with the requests of others if I were scum, and that's probably what I'd be doing. But if I feel like I'm getting asked a question that's useless or suspect I'm going to uestion them instead.
I can understand your frustration with me not simply plopping down a reads list but most of my thoughts right now are half-formed, I'm still in the process of feeling hings out. In my previous post, I was going to give some townreads then when I went back to reread people, I doubted myself and deleted that part of my post. I don't like making statements that amount to "eh, could go either way, who knows"
Acually @catboi , from my POE, u have started getting townie points in your last posts, not enought to consider you a townie atm, we are 9 players atm and is hard to "gamble" anything right now.

You asked me before about who i was suspecting, im going to try making a proper list

My strongest townie read atm is Norwee as i said.

Then N_M (losing points because inactivity maybe (?) ) and maybe Pearl (between null/ slightly townie)

Then right now you are null with meuh

Marci was null, but i dont like how she feels worried about a null reading coming from an almost afk player (Toriii), is like she is trying to "demostrate" he is townie yes or yes, and this made me feel like :?

Toriii low profile is kinda sus (and didn't answer the fact he is suspecting one of the stronger townie reads (from my poe as i said), dunno if is lack of reading, or just random pointing), but i cant talk too much about low profiles because my participation is just "enough" (being generous with myself)

iN3kro feels kinda scummy aswell.

Okay, defensive wasn't quite the right term. More like guarded.

Why do I see you not answering questions as scummy?
Because being unwilling to post much makes it seem like you're being careful about what you say and what you don't, like you care about your appearance more than being helpful and progressing the game. Could just be your playstyle, but I won't ignore when something pings me.

Is it 'very easy' to comply when you're scum? I don't know about that. It seems, to me at least, that pretending to make observations and give your feelings on the state of the game would be harder than honestly doing so.

That being said, you're participating, which is really all I wanted out of you in the first place :P

I ask because it struck me as the sort of move that is designed to appear like someone is being helpful on the surface but is largely directionless and accomplishes nothing, a maneuver I've attempted as scum before. I don't think asking people for opinions on others based on putting names together seemingly at random accomplishes much.


I find myself with several people I fos, and not much in the way of townreads.
Fair enough, there's more meaningful ways to contribute, but like I've said before I was trying to paint a wider picture of the game. With the way this is going, I'm starting to feel like the partners are likely quiet and not interacting much, so forcing potential partners out of their comfort zone would be nice.

I feel like scum are fine with this gamestate, so I don't wanna be on either of these big wagons. VOTE:

It's how i like to play. That said, i don't really have any 'super' strong scumreads this game so what i'm doing instead is pushing my townreads to make sure they don't get eliminated. Which they always might when N_M is in the game since he'd hammer any wagon that reaches E-1.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? Also, if you want more out of me then why avoid giving me an answer? Do you actually care about the question you asked me?

I did, but it's so meaningless after all this time.

I thought Torii was all over the place with the 3 names he gave and indeed he just picked 3 players with very distinct playstyles, wanted to see what others thought of it but Tori already explained himself, and more importantly I wanted to read you because you had only 1 post until then. (I think I also had 1 or 2 posts by then too).

I think you have spoken enough now to see your position in the game.

Oh no, In3kro’s got an avatar, and now i already feel more sympathy towards the slot since he’s no longer an nameless, faceless stain on the playerlist. :/

Well I've particularly liked Catboi's more recent contributions, I think he acts pretty townie in them.
This is more related to gamestate, though. The game mellowed down after you and Catboi became the 2 main wagons, which gives me the impression that the mafia team either:
-Doesn't contain either of you
-Has its other teammate kinda inactive

The impression that scum likes this gamestate makes me not want you or Catboi gone.

The main issue with my gamestate stuff would be that Pear, me and Norwee are the only voters on you or Catboi (other than you 2) and I feel comfortable with all 3 of us, so maybe it is a less active team? Either way I feel more comfortable with my vote on Torii.

Uhhh about my previous reads I've lost my reasonings somewhere...

OK, well
currently
, my most definite SR would be Catboi, imo most of their messages have a defensive tone to it and I don't like that much, think it makes them mafia more-ish?

I'll need to refind my other reads...

Well, actually there are 3 guys with 2 votes each. Is not la live or die situation i think.

But i have to agree with you with the game "pacing", scum could feel comfortable with it, or could be it just doesn't care :lol:

I remember in my past games, the solutions were just to end phase.. should we do that..? or do we push inactives to give more of their opinions?
