Anyway, I am tired and will continue making reads tomorrow. xo

I am not votingGuiltyLiontoday. His posts struck me as the most towny so far, and it is honestly rare for any mafia to put in so much effort into sorting early in the game. In-depth analysis is usually town-indicative. (242) The entrance post rang as quite genuine too. (26)
I played withfireisredsirbefore. I would write him off as town for tone and intent solely, but I am not as confident of the towniness of this slot as I am ofGuiltyLion. My gut tells me that when he rolls mafia, he is a deepwolf. His playing style changed since our last game together too, he's far more laid-back and chill. My experience with him, however, does confirm that he is player who really likes making reads over meta. He mentioned this in this game (86), which is a plus for honesty and self-awareness. I don't think this is a good candidate for a Day 1 elimination either.
Dannflorseems towny, but for some reason absolutely none of his posts stayed in my mind while reading the thread, and I re-discovered them only by looking at the playerlist. His scumreads seem reasonable and justified (but not sure if they're right). So yeah, he can stay, I guess.

(people to potentially vote out today, and that also includes anyone I haven't mentioned in this post and who is in this game)
furtiveglanceseems much less serious about this game than he was in Newbie 2095. Still, I remember him getting more heavily invested as Day 1 was coming to an end and I pushed him off the hill. But yeah, re-reading his posts so far, I cannot townclear him so far in any way.
I am not sure whyRodenis a leading wagon considering he has barely said anything. If it's a pressure wagon then fine. But he hasn't said much.
I don't likeRadical Ratin this game at all. The coded messages are a nice touch and fit into the theme, but it's also a way for a mafia to hide under the spotlight and get written off as witty town. Make no mistake, this a potential deepwolf.
Vivaxseems less witty than usual.
VOTE: Radical Rat
I’m pretty sure I’ve never had a dog avatar.In post 316, Bell wrote:Are you the other dog avatar. Because you’re the only player that comes into a game as an alt and immediately claims that they’re obviously the sog avatar when you’re significantly goofier when you’re the dog.
Depends on the player. Some are naturally witty when town, and being scum causes them to act in weird ways, because they start to take the game more seriously.In post 326, furtiveglance wrote: Witty = town then apparently.
In my opinion, he has higher scum potential because of his way of posting in this game. While it is aesthetically nice and fits the theme of the game, it can also get him written off as too weird/NAI/witty. Which is why a little pressure there wouldn't hurt.Dannflor wrote:I don't like that vote on Radical Rat
Can you elaborate more on how Rat seems to be "hiding under the spotlight?" I don't understand why your vote is there over anywhere else
Why would you have me jump on a pre-existing wagon?Dannflor wrote:and like there are pre-established wagons on all of furtive / roden / vivax who are in your "potential votes" category
which is both awfully convenient and also makes it weirder that you would choose a vanity wagon without much of a case over one of them
Well, his posting so far didn't really allow me to see the intent behind the posts (and this is the main thing which dictates my reads in mafia games) so I had to base the read off tone and meta. The results were inconclusive. I know that he can make good cases if he wants to, but he hasn't showed this yet. I'm not going to scumread him for it though, because it's still early Day 1 and the leading wagon (In post 330, Loki Dokie wrote:Furtive not being serious means idk what because he was plenty serious in Chromavalon. Being lighthearted is probably a good thing since scum are less likely to be.
i think you should probably be able to figure out that "congrats you're town" was not meant to be taken at face valueIn post 242, GuiltyLion wrote: by changing it to a probabilistic argument you're retconning your post a bit ("if ari doesn't talk about reads, she ismore likely to be scum" is a different statement - that isn't what you said in 44) and I still think you're making a logic error - just because someone doesn't do a thing that you think would make them scum or more likely to be scum, does not mean they are less likely to be scum!
i think the person still has to be towny for this to work, no? its not like 4 mafia being all "hey guys this person is super towny" will make everyone else agree. so i don't think this is really something to be especially worried about. if anything you can worry about how we're not very likely to get a d1 elimination on scum. scum definitely have a lot of control over thatIn post 245, furtiveglance wrote:now I'm worried that mafia could create a mafia UTR quite easily since there are 5 of them, and am slightly paranoid that's happening here.
I don’t have that experience with furtive. They seemed pretty intense with occasional bouts of emotional exclamations as town.In post 335, fireisredsir wrote:i think it was done that way to avoid the 1v1 pain
Absolutely not.In post 343, Aristeia wrote:ok but you have thoughts yes?
I can’t read Roden even when they do post.In post 346, Aristeia wrote:do you believe his inactivity is AI?
