I don't have substantial logical reason for why he is town, but this is one of the stronger gutreads I've had in my mafia career.
Got it, but be careful not to ride gutreads too far! They can be your best friend and worst enemy
lets be honest, everything is a gutread. sometimes we just pretend we have better reasoning.
This is true, which is why aside from townblocing people for shorter amounts of time, it's good to be able to change your reads. Hence deimos should not ride this very strong townread the rest of the game without examination

do you think deimos was doing that? what are you trying to get at here?
Nah, I agree that BM's posting resonates with me quite well and touches all the points I would want to touch, I am just worried about setting them as town for that - I think scum could do the same thing. I don't want Deimos to fall into the trap of hearing resonant posting and townreading for the whole game because of it. Stuff like that is how good scum easily win games.

Imagine my vote is there. I don't want any accidents. I tend not to trust people when it comes to L-1.

So I understand BM has the same thoughts you do super?

Counter-point

And if there is a vig? And the hider hides behind them then they are dead as well. Ala Clint Eastwood style. So then you create a false positive and in the end lynching a town PR in the bigger picture.

Awesome. Great job. Happy with this thus far.
I have said the same thing, basically verbatim, as Worcestershire. Also this shade buy Midari just comes off as really trying to act townie, but still scummy.

It's like oh I'm not scum I'm just going to fuck off for a bit. Ironically you can manipulate this and flip it so you just fly under the radar.
In post 422, votato wrote:well my case rests primarily on midari being scum. but if that isnt enough reason for you to vote someone (FoS on you again), midari's tone/style doesnt match town!midari. more to come.
How many games have you seen me in from the start in? Most times I've replaced into games where I have to figure out the motivation from the slot before me. It's quite aggravating sometimes just for how people can muck up a slot.
This is fantastic, Midari contradicts herself in the same post!

How dare you use self meta as a town tell!

Btw, my self meta that makes me town is 'this'.

The fact that we can't look past a little slip of not seeing something and me moving because "heat" I find a bit disturbing as I'm not sure how many games you have been apart of where "oh that was a hammer" has happened in games you have been in. I've been around long enough to have it happen more times then I want to admit. Call it what you want. It's mildly infuriating.


I don't understand what superbowl9 is getting at roughly with the town block and what have you and what not l. Maybe I'm a bit delusional but I would expect everyone's reads to change at some point in this game otherwise this is going to get ugly quickly.
Heavy townping from this, don't think noobish scum with heavy cognitive load would see big backlash from a clear mistake and say "Why cant we move past this little slip??" Scum would try to justify more

Well the townping I just got sort of pushed it over the edge into town lean, but I was quite in agreement with Deimos in that she gives out noobtown vibes.

Tracker seems like the much better/more obvious selection in this setup no?

But this is true, I missed that hider going behind vig would kill them

I fear people are going to use the 'noob' card as an excuse to put the blinders on to scummy behavior.

This can certainly happen, which is why sometimes it's good to policy lynch VIs/lurkers. As such I keep these types of slots open as compromise lynches or if there are no other scum leads to pursue, unless I'm really townreading them. I don't think Midari is our best option day 1 tho

do u think newbtowns take the initiative on the hunt on the second most suspicious person after a mistake of that caliber, not taken it on that magnitude previously on the game?

Who's talking policy lynch on lurkers, I don't know why you brought that up?

I am talking making excuses for scummy behavior.

and about the hider thing, a quick way to do it is the hider aiming for the player next to him on the player list; that way, everyone has a possibility of being hid upon, assuming uniform distribution (the odd of a hider being behind u given u r not the tracker is 1/12)
