Explicitly, I agree that questioning on this aspect doesn't help sort Pav. I'm just trying to muddy the fuck out of any signaling attempts because for fuck's sake people, scum not being able to guess what each other are thinking is one of town's primary advantages in this setup.

Why would you engage in preemptive NKA in the first place though?
Like... This is just introducing so much WIFOM into the thread.
If GL gets shot here, did Bingle do it for towncred? Did scum do it trying to frame Bingle? Did the CPR doc do it trying to save GL from the scum shot that was trying to frame Bingle of either alignment?
Just posting that makes it completely useless.
I am actually surprised you didn't see what I did in there, despite the fact YOU did warn against this specifically.
Let me be explicit: What makes you think Pav isn't Scum signaling who their target might be? (Or maybe telling the other Scum team to shoot GL while they shoot someone else, like the IC?)
I am thus confirming my surprise that both you & Salsa had Pav as your TOP TR. I myself have him in my bottom 4 reads.
I am not going to share more about my reads for the time being (because I don't want to affect the reads of those who have yet to provide their top 3 reads), but I had to mark this down now for future reference

Why even signal to other mafia if they need each other dead as well?
It's naturally "NK me pls"

For example, Salsa voted someone multiple times without actually voting someone else in the game I played with them where they were Scum. So this sort of counting posts to get to page top is right in line with the same kind of weirdness IMO.

So you did see at as signaling. GOOD. Now ACT upon it.

Because they need to not both target the same person? And because they won't be cross-killing intentionally on N1?

And since you are here, why haven't you provided your top 3 yet? @Enchant

It makes sense, but i really doubt mafia even bother with this.

maybe I'm missing the obvious, but I really don't see this original post as signaling. It was Salsa's repeated questioning on why Pav said this that prompted all further NK analysis and discussion. All I see in this post is just a caveat that if I (GL) were to die at night, Pav's logic wouldn't apply. Possibly some of the confusion is over Pav using the word "flip" to mean "eliminate via town vote majority"

this is town imo
idk if i really believe the pav posts are signalling (might reread them later to see if i can work out how, hypothetically, they might work as a signal — that said, nobody who thinks they do know should explicitly spell the mechanics of it out), but i see the argument for treating these posts as signalling as such regardless of discernable intent. i would like to add that my general memory of pav's posting is that it's often been pretty low-content, but im on mobile rn.
the salsabil post where she acknowledges she's not scum hunting, lmao.

I think I'm not really understanding what the "redundancy" is or the "gotcha"

To be fair, I didn't *want* to lay it all out, but Salsa was asking and I find failure to answer direct questions scummy
And now that I've said that, I fully expect to garner a few more scumreads for giving you all more WIFOM to discuss (did I answer as town to prove my towniness, or did I answer as scum to fake my towniness?)
btw, I don't seem to recall playing any games with you, but you seem to know me
So .... you kinda have the advantage of me here

My bad. I took this to mean you had knowledge outside this game of me, that's all.

To answer your question, though, I'd say you probably lean scummy on me given your #281, but maybe less now than you did then given #489?
