I don't think Marashu care much about teammates when he's scum, and the way he's playing here is mostly towny, unless he did a good upgrade in his scumgame.

Yeah that was mostly a joke for Plus/username/Titus

Are you ready to move on from Titus, MC ?

I mean Titus hasn't posted for like 5 pages. Why, you want me to vote Klyne?

I'm talking more about votes outside Titus, assuming you have some fos outside of her.

Yes, and I do think that these sorts of things are worth keeping in mind, but I think that they can also be very premature and a useful way for scum to post thoughts on the game without too much investment or commitment.
Unless
DV
is very subtly defending
Titus
(which I doubt), I don't think this POV is voiced by scum in a setup like this. Want to see how true
DV
holds to this line of thought.
Also
DV
, are you meta'ing
Bulge
, or is your scumread there based on in-thread posts?

I am also considering townreads on Taly and Marashu and am less interested in PlusJoyed as scum than I was previously

I am a bit skeptical about MURDERCAT and therefore the townreads of him. His posting has this way of making me feel like he's really thinking about how he is coming across with each post and I was actually interested in Marashu thinking that Murdercat was scum.
(And would therefore actually be quite interested in hearing what Marashu thinks about this now!)
I can actually relate to a lot of Titus' thoughts on Klyne. The posting feels like a front, a facade of sorts. This could be explained by Klyne wishing to use this account to have that particular style but there's certainly nothing particularly town to me about the slot so far.
Perhaps of anyone in the game right now,
ORAM's posting feels the most easily made by scum.
Breakdown your thoughts here?
Hey Taly,
Re: The Bulge, the read is not based on meta. I actually haven’t played a mafia game with Bulge in a very long time. I thought that the in-thread posts felt uninspired and like scum going through the motions. I am still processing the response to my post, but I’m weighing up the possibility that it was scum trying to come up with an apparently laid back response.
I don’t have much to expand on in regards to ORAM right now. A lot of the time the way I read people is working out how well their play aligns with what I would expect from scum (often through an absence of town indicators more than specific scum indicators).
There are actually some specific things from ORAM that concern me, but I would rather wait for replacements before going too deep into that.
it might still be Plus, it might be DeasVail. i'm pretty sold on both of them as town at this point.
This is really *poker face*
Is there a long-standing history between you three in past matches?

Honestly I would have to reread, I feel like I've forgotten everything that has happened in this game. I was waiting to interact with the bulge because I thought that would help but now there's 3 more replacements to wait for..

Yes .. I'm not sure what made people discouraged from the game.

To anyone replacing in, I promise it’s not that bad!

I'd rather have a 17 page game than a 47 page game any day (though I do tend to be part of the problem that leads to longer games )

Why is it *poker face*?
I mean, I can understand that you have been acting in a pro-town manner, but not so intensely as to be on top of TRs. Regarding Plus, I didn't notice any behavior that I could describe as "notoriously towny". In this context, I can't understand how username got to these reads, either by gut or tonality. So I think that there must be some history of past games between you three or two, which might justify any less noticeable impression for the other players that he captured/associated strongly with the town alignment.

Thanks clidd. I have some thoughts from a theory standpoint, but will let iama respond first

not at all
i mean, i've played with Plus once before, where he was town and aggressively useless. and DeasVail has been around long enough that it's possible i played with him like a decade ago, but if so, i don't remember it.
but no, this is not a meta read.
for Plus, as i mentioned previously, his dropping me in as a townread from my first post seemed unlikely to be a scum play, and i also found the approach he outlined in 329 resonant as a way to handle this particular setup.
for DV, i am not really sure why you'd find it odd for him to be a strong townread? he's making more effort than most to advance the game, he's taking clear stances, most of which i agree with... what's not to love?

What you're seeing right now with the drop of activity is scum having nothing to do and idling into near-replacement
I've been here and checking in, furthermore I'm not thrilled due to the lack of talking points overall. You guys are speaking on an individual level but there is no cooperation
All work no play makes jack a dull boy

You guys are giving shallow, unsubstantial opinons
You get shallow, unsubstantiated game
And I'm sure you ask
Why don't you do better? And to that I say to you
I tried, and now 3 IRL days later the poor mod has to replace not one, but 3 slots
Let's go down the official list on how to improve this situation

Stop treating your opinions as if the moment you post them, someone is going to latch onto them for you. Nobody is more important than the other, not even me, even if my opinions are awesome
FUCKING VOTE AND GET AGGRESSIVE! PUSH A MOTHERFUCKER! SCREAM! CAPS LOCK! CALL THAT BITCH SCUM! SCUM AINT GONNA DO SHIT IF THEY'RE NOT PROVOKED. THEY DON'T HAVE TO. THAT;'S THE GREAT FUCKIN THING ABOUT BEING SCUM!!!
Interact more often with each other. If you don't like something? Hell, if you like something. Say it. Too much limpwrist nonsense and not enough COMMITMENT.
Quit being afraid of being wrong. If I'm wrong on Titus/Marashu then I'll fucking get there. I keep reading posts with a ton of expressiveness but not enough conclusions.

Clidd, you've been sitting here like
I bet Klyne is acting this way to hide his indentity
But that's not indicative of my alignment, and you keep going through the process of understanding it's not then just saying bluhh bluhhh what if he's doing it intentionally? I'm having fun. I was having fun until everyone couldn't handle how much fun I was having. Read my arguments. Read what I bring down. What do you agree with? What do you disagree with? Let's get some HONEST DEBATE IN HERE. THIS ISN'T YOUR TWITTER FEED. ANALYZE YOUR OPPONENTS AND EVEN ANTICIPATE THEIR NEXT MOVES.
