Ceejay / URAP isos are toxic waste.
Creature is missing some zest and hasn't been approaching this quite like I expect him to as scum.
I'm still diffident about Detective Pikachu.
LUVs's iso feels pretty bad.
RedPanda's iso feels pretty bad and like he's trying to be townread for his 'moving the game forwardness'
PB ???
Chemist also leaning scum to at least some extent.

i feel like both CC and EP are pretty hard town after that last interaction
like i guess CC might just be playing super well but i think i'm pretty happy clearing them both.
I can actually understand this given the previous post by CC

Now that I've come around on CC I don't like this post, feels like targeting LHF lurkers

On the subject of RP, I found this post in particular to be less of a game-solving list and more of a 'I crossed off everyone who made an impression on me'. The people left on his list were the players that had posted least, with URAP replaced by EP.

I actually wasn't really impacted by it, it felt like an attempt to follow the crowd and look helpful so I didn't regard it as worth asking about

Really liked Gamma's Entrance. It made Cinnamon's slot look a lot better.
VOTE: Detective Pikachu
At this point, I'm pretty happy throwing my vote on anyone who isn't Tim, Pine (CC), Gamma (Cinnamon), or Creature.

Kk, so you have DP as town. Any scumreads?
You made your vote in Klick in RVS. Do you still agree with your vote? Why/why not?
By "something cool" I don't mean "interrogate me because I'm on your arbitrary lurker prodlist" but w/e.
You're my biggest scumread rn. Klick is like... muddled. 105 was kinda bad but they actually try to scumhunt, even if misguided or reaction-testy.

I feel this is the same as cinnamon but this slot just backed off.
This reinforces how I feel about RP

I think voting RedPanda is likely to be incredibly unproductive so I don't want to vote them unless it's straight up speedlynch time.
Let's try this

This feels really unnatural to me.
Why? I was getting a sense CC was trying to play coasting scum so declaring this kinda defeats that or at least it's not what I expect from coasting scum.

I thought it was genuine. #217 reads as though Clarity is annoyed, and she admits as much in #219.
What part is unnatural about the post is unnatural to you?
First three sentences.
So not the post in general, but the way they kinda stuttered?

Lurker scum can be pretty dangerous. These four haven't posted much yet.
I think this looks good though
Espresso can be town
Why can’t this post come from scum? I disagree with his take on lurker scum to be honest.
You disagree that lurker scum can be dangerous?? Please elaborate.
You are unable to mislead, misdirect, and manipulate consistently if you’re lurking.
It's also not possible to contribute, and lurker scum is consistently a problem, Civ Mafia is a prime example of that. It's very valid to let town eat themselves alive.

Actually just [post=Number]Number[/post] is needed if you're linking within the same thread and just need the number.

I don't like that cinnamon ignored my post. Seems like cinnamon is scared of a back and forth that might happen.
Vote cinnamon
Still wanna hold to this push now that they've replaced out?

You are unable to mislead, misdirect, and manipulate consistently if you’re lurking.
I've read several guides on forum maf over the last two weeks to help shore up my forum inexperience. Most guides say that successful maf teams have a combination of "deep threats" and manipulators. Manipulators stir up confusion, lead mislynches, and stall before they're picked off by lynches or PRs. Deep threats are responsible for blending in and making it to the end game to solidify a win.
You're right that lurkers can't manipulate consistently, but I would argue that you're overlooking potential deep threats.
Fwiw, I recognize that active players can still be deep threats, but I'd say lurkers are the more likely candidates. Lurking into deep threat has a smaller margin of error to being active (ie. Fewer chances to slip) and it requires less effort.
With all that theory in mind, I think focusing on lurkers has two benefits:
1. You limit the pool of lurker scum deep threats; and
2. Even if you lynch town, a lurker town is less valuable than an active town.
This is very accurate theory btw.

Also worth noting that 13 of his 15 posts are fluff. The remaining 2 were him hopping on the early push against me.
