cos i get inutile seemed very, very very scummy the first few pages. I shared that vibe. But through later actions inutile remains in my townlocks. So would scum hopip focus like this on inutile? not a factor in my analyses.
In general, in wording, by votes, I just have no idea what inutile is thinking or doing. And it feels.... did Ausuka say slimy? Sorta?
well......
correction lol XD XD
*no idea what hopip is doing, not inutile XD Egh. Ok, bye for now brain fuzzy.

Initially I gave Juice the benefit of the doubt (late RVS??). Then the slot voted Delta which I town lean, then town reads Ausuka for no given reason.
VOTE: Juice
As for the other slots, I'm willing to give a pass since it's still D1.
Nice. I guess townie points for you. I'm still waiting for your survey though.
They call me The Flash hurr hurr

if juice gets to E-1 again I will temporarily unvote. i don't want to waste the rest of the day. please do not bring juice to E-1 just yet.

don't get me wrong, i'm fine with a juice elim. it's just that we have like 6 days left in d1 and it makes no sense to end it now.

do you think nuclear gandhi has been towny since being wagoned?
like yea the wagon has largely gone away but in that time nuclear gandhi has made one post about the first four pages which was a whole change of approach from previous posting
so is the extent of your thoughts on nuclear gandhi still dunno why they were wagoned?

This is E-1 (if I counted correctly).
at least you counted correctly
this sort of thing a large part of why i vote the way i do

i'm going to ISO nuclear after work and share some thoughts.
the part that confuses me about the wagon is that there were such immediate polar reactions and i couldn't figure out where that was coming from.

Can Juice be scum? Yes.
Are there slots that................................... have flown under the radar? Definitely. Ghandi has given me no satisfaction thus far. and many others besides.
So @juice if u town u gotta talk yo
in most cases eliminating someone and not eliminating someone day one both use one of our potential eliminations due to player count so it is almost always correct to eliminate someone
however i would also like to use as much of our time as we can reasonably

i mean, nuclear gandhi was focusing on wording in a way that felt like they simply wanted to say ‘inutile is a mafia!’ not to figure out if i was; like for you it was like, it’s similar to me as newbie mafia therefore mafia, which doesn’t really make sense but can kinda see how you might have gotten there but nuclear gandhi was pushing me for responding to you saying i might have been trying to look town while completely ignoring the context of my statement (and now with more information i know they viewed me as an easy elimination at the time)
so it is like, hm

what would a green flip mean about others? a red flip?

i actually think i pointed that out with BBT's vote. i dont think furtive is scum but bbt hopping on when they did and why they did was sus to me.

oh i guess i missed that, or at least missed you connecting it to the timing of it and it’s potential relationship with nuclear gandhi’s wagon,

Just walk me through your thought process here? Most of the posts confuse you (why is that scummy?) but you understand enough to say that their rationalising is weird? You either understand or you don't, it can't be both. Can you show some of their weird rationalising and explain why it's weird?
yeah sure. it's weird because it confuses me and it confuses me because it's weird. if I just started spouting gibberish you could call it weird even if it made no sense to you. not sure what your angle is here. e.g. the various walls of text inutile has posted.
OK, couple of things;
I understand it's weird because it confuses you and it confuses you because it's weird. What I don't understand is where the scum read comes from because confusing =/= scummy. Can you try and explain this part again? I also asked you to show me some of the rationalising and explain why it was weird. You actually didn't answer either of my questions despite all the words.

idk this is very reminiscent of how I played scum when I first started playing mafia. i'm not going to tunnel on him but i do feel it's suspect
Why did you feel the need to qualify the last sentence with 'I'm not going to tunnel on him...'?
I am just on the wagon, trying to lynch some rando early on good strat
How is this town? Eliminating some rando.....that's a low chance of success. Plus the use of 'just' - it's a minimiser. Mohab doesn't want to be looked at too closely for bandwagoning, and justifies it pre-emptively.
More good posting from Furtive.
In post 160, Eiralox wrote:I have my reasons. No one's going to vote Mohab. Ghandi is still blatant scum. looking for the partners.
Explain either of these? Can you at least counter Furtive's point on Mohab? Have you explained why Gandhi is blatant scum?
In post 166, Ausuka wrote:
It's mostly vibes. The main thing I would say I don't like is his post pushing delta, more specifically I think the thing about "delayed omgus" feels artificial and I think is unlikely to come from a natural thought process.
Hmm, OK I disagree with this. I thought his post regarding Delta was pretty decent and was something I picked up on initially as well. The 'delayed OMGUS' was a bad term to use, sure, but doesn't negate his point.
Do you disagree that Hoppip calls Delta's post 'bad' and Delta responds by saying Hoppip is 'sus'?

Im not sharing. And i'm starting to think you and ghandi are together. I don't like toffee's entrance or wrong read on frogster but I can still sort of see town there. But you? Toffee's defense of Ghandi is blatant, yours isn't and that wearies me.
What defence of Gandhi are you talking about?
In post 184, Ausuka wrote:I'm aware, and I'm not as confident about this as I would be if you had made such a read later in the game. But I'm just saying it doesn't seem like your read on Delta came from a genuine thought process; if I'm mafia here and Delta is town I would probably want to vote Delta here, he feels like an easier push than other people who have been present so far. So when I feel like you decided he's scum and then made up the reasons it's concerning to me.
Why does Delta feel like an easy push? Why can't an easy push still be on scum?
In post 193, Frogsterking wrote:I believe this might clear up how I'm reading some things: I believe Gandhi is manipulative because they're charismatic. I realize now I'm probably projecting a lot of other negative qualities that aren't there onto Gandhi because of my cynicism. For example I started to believe that the LHF or mislim bait qualities were a deception, and now I realize that it's unlikely Gandhi is faking those qualities.
That being said, I only partially agree with furtiveglance about the classification of Gandhi as mislim bait/LHF. I agree that those qualities are there, however, I also believe Gandhi shouldn't be classified that way because they're significantly more charismatic than those slots usually are, and that makes Gandhi more potentially dangerous as either alignment.
Where did you pick up that Gandhi was LHF or mislim bait?

This is scum. Commenting on a post directly related to them whilst engaging with nothing else in thread.

i'm standing by my position that inutile is sus and i really don't care that it's making people scumread me. i'm not going to back off what i think is my best read right now because it's unpopular or it might get me eliminated. clearly, an inutile elimination is not going to happen right now based on how people are reading her but i don't operate on consensus like that. i truly do not understand why people see inutile as town. as i said before, if there's evidence that she always plays this way (even as town) then my tune might change but to date, nobody has done so unless I somehow missed it. you can think i'm mafia all you want but i would have picked a safer bet than this if that was the case. if you really think that mafia will wagon popular players instead of killing them at night i dont know what to tell you.
You see, when you first pushed Inutile in thread I actually thought that was a pretty townie thing; going against the grain of the thread. However, the fact you have now acknowledged this yourself and given the whole 'I dont care if I'm scum read for my outlandish scum read' schtick, I really, really can't emphasise how much I dislike this post. You're clearly aware of how thread direction and thread flow works and how certain actions should be perceived (as you have alluded to more than once already.) I would imagine you were hoping to pick up town reads from going against the grain and because nobody outwardly spoke about it or mentioned it, you have felt the need to bring it up yourself. It all feels pre-meditated.

bbt, on the other hand, strikes me as someone who wanted to piggyback off furtive's reasoning to join a relatively uncontroversial wagon that coincidentally targets the main person campaigning against inutile.
i wouldn't be terribly surprised if it's inutile/juice/bbt, assuming a standard 10:3 split.
I very openly stated I liked Furtive's post regarding you, so it 'striking' you seems apt, given you know, I openly stated it. Further, why is your wagon 'uncontroversial'?
In post 224, DeltaWave wrote:
well you never know but you are most likely right, inutile is not going to be eliminated today. i'd like to hear more from juice before i decide. BBT has also been somewhat absent, mostly just throwing a vote out there and hanging back. bbt's read list also looks incredibly "safe" and non-controversial.
In what way was my reads list safe? Was it safer than the reads list you just posted?
I believe I was the only person scum reading Frog when I posted my reads - how is that safe? Same for Eira as well, actually.
