Why is scum unlikely to use chainsaw?

What do you think of the backtrack of ice queen/goddess scum team?

not to self meta and all but you can see slightly more progression in my play between the game we played together (iceland) and now when you look at mini normal 2193
i'm keen on, as you've mentioned, toning it down a lot because i know how harmful to a game i can be

Reads aren't mutual?
Reads don't have to be mutual, though usually I have difficulty trusting someone if I don't have a clue what their line of thought looks like.

N_M was trolling but I do think that most town players (especially new ones) will take a skeptical view of anyone who shades them for no reason, not call them town after only nine posts. Considering that Kitty didn't agree with me about Jim and moz either, I can't understand why he would trust me from that. Something similar happened the last game I played, where I pushed someone expecting to be suspected for my approach but instead received town read that I couldn't understand. And indeed in the end they turned out to be scum.

I think moza is town based on his join date, players from back then grew in a very methodical, paint by numbers meta, when they come into games with players like me and koba they just discombobulate

Ok I've made up my mind, Owen is more on the town side
It's probably better that ktty answers the line of questioning

Initial posts looked off, pressure zulfy but already setting up a switch of focus to low content players. There's something incoherent about that, you can hardly pressure someone if you're already announcing you're not likely to keep the vote there. Then the reaction to his wagon was to immediately attempt to redirect attention to low/no content slots, which to me was a knee-jerk response to pressure. The latest switch to the Jim wagon is more of the same, though admittedly I'm now wondering if a player as experienced as moz would be this blatantly opportunistic if they were actually scum.

I don't think moz is taking the easy path because it's the easy path, I can get where they are coming from when they say a lot of the active side seems town

Inactivity wasn't the reason, it was the trailing of a reads list which bothered me. The thread at that point was very fluffy, it's unlikely that any reads you could have would be involved. Announcing you were going to put together a reads list in advance seemed like the kind of thing newbie scum that was concerned about appearing to contribute might do. As for the town read: which posts and how?

@Jim - did you have a similar difficulty getting involved in your previous games?

Looking at their previous game, they made a small readlist in the 350s and they were more involved

In general I think assuming scum aren't capable of playing active and well is a bad and scummy approach, though some town do take it. My biggest issue is that moz's focus went from this:
In post 132, mozamis wrote:To remind myself of the names, scum in:
Esoter
Arte
Kittytacky
Rathe
UNowen
Zulfy
JImhawkins
Yyota
to this:
In post 156, mozamis wrote:Since gut/experience is telling me scum is most likely in the lurkers/semi lurkers, scum team is probably in:
Rathe, Unowen,Jimhawkins, Yyota.
Seems harsh to hunt yyota withut him posting. So we would be wise to focus on those three. And since there is a mini wagon on UNowen, choo choo!

VOTE: UNowen
After he got some votes. There was an explanation for zoomer being removed but otherwise it's gone from a list with some ambition to sort through a scum pool, to a list of just as Rathe pointed out the easiest slots to target in the game. I haven't seen moz making an effort to sort through this pool, so it looks to be just driven by convenience.

it's ironic that i'm saying this since i dont read him as scum but there will be times where an experienced player will be obvious scum, else town would never win
he also seemed to have been on a 3 year break from mafia prior to this game so being rusty is also a potential thing

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?ti ... Of_Its_Ass the joke is real, but old as hell so it isn't something someone who is new would know about, much less claim. He also has strangely mafiaesque lingo for a newb as well. Willing to bet this flips red
ion like how you're trying to use hiding under an alt as if it implicates that he is scum

Moza, I feel like is an overall easy target and he's someone who's very easy to talk about. Very easy to pressure, something I feel like is more characteristic of misfadable town than actual probably scum. To many people hopping on that for to weak reasons

May flip the table on the ice queen, not keen on giving piggy back rides.

Norwee is very... lax.... not sure I like that
things like these
granted they're mostly directed towards kitty in slight retaliation but nevertheless from a town perspective the situation was handled poorly in pushing your scumread
