What do you make of your chaos wagon and reactions or lack thereof?
I still prefer the Chaos flip, and feel like all of Dats, Ari, and Titus have voiced a scum read there, and honestly unsure why they all decided to jump to Meg over Chaos. But, I think that Meg also is looking like a scum flip, so not the end of the world I guess.
I would move to Chaos too, I just have a preference for Flubber.
Why?
He had a weird entrance and there’s a dynamic between him and Titus that makes me think Flubber is scum. Chaos looks like scum trying to justify all their actions but it’s slightly more plausible that it could be Town than Flubber.

More votes on Flub plz
so I don't think seanzie is literally scumreading someone for posting more. I think they're trying to manufacture a push and doing it poorly. so the only thing they could shade alchemist for was "posting". seems like I'm right too, because in elaborating, they're now saying things that are just...wrong
What do you think of my idea that Seanzie may have been testing to see who would try defending/pocketing me?
I think that if you had that idea you’d have pushed it rather than asking others about it.
Now that Flubber has explained more, I think their thought process seems genuine, even thought I disagree with their conclusions.
I am not liking that Aristeia keeps asking other people before she votes/unvotes, like she is absolving herself of her votes.
VOTE: Aristeia
I had the same thought. I get the feeling Ari might need to give me a cookie.
I don’t think Aristeia is that person
I think I’ve encountered Aristeia in the stream chat of a certain pink circular creature who may be just a little skinny
How about both of you quit alt hunting/outing and start/go back to scum hunting?
I think Aristeia is likely scum but trying to out them to get an advantage whatever your alignment is a jerk move.
I’m not trying to get an advantage, outside of potentially confirming my theory, which would let me essentially locktown Aristeia
@mod, is it possible that the main mafia team has no access to what the game would consider a pt?
that is not possible. mafia have a pt by virtue of being mafia.

agreed. and I'm suspicious of vulture looking like they're going to votepark on the next wagon that's gaining steam

Alchemist: lots of posts, presses people for their reasonings, very reactionary, null read
Aristeia: posts little content, but still shows they are following the game closely in 184, strong townread
ChaosOmega: keeps posts long, fairly thoroughly analyses conversations, doesn’t actively push his reads out, weak townread
Datisi: tends to latch onto one thing about a player that they find suspicious and stick by it for long stretches, townread,
Flubber: doesn’t provide a lot of reads and doesn’t appear to be actively contributing, scumread
Gamma: reasonings seem to be understandable and seem to be thinking out their actions, townread
okay maybe the v/la is scummy

to break down why 508 is scummy:
Alchemist: lots of posts isn't ai, but pressing people for their reasoning is pretty town and "very reactionary" is meaningless. Why is this null?
Aristeia: Following the game closely isn't town,
especially
when a lot of that following is actually sheeping.
ChaosOmega: Has thorough analysis if you squint hard enough, but it's still scummy analysis.
Datisi: Latching onto individual items is how scum looks like they're being active. How is this town?
Flubber: Yeah. Okay. Between your townread on Omega and whatever this is, it looks like you're trying to coordinate with them to put the steam back on my wagon.
Gamma: Ehhhhh this one's probably okay i guess

I'm entertaining a scumteam of Meg/Chaos+1 more (maybe Vulture?) at the moment.
Umalut/Mathblade could also still be a thing? Tough to say because both slots (Umalut/Seanzie at the time) did some badposting and don't have enough activity to say much more on. MathBlade so far looks town, but there's a pocket bias here given they came in off the bat to say my wagon sucks lol
Something feels weird that I'm entertaining scumpools of entirely different people though. Hmmmm

I wanted to give Chaos time to maybe town up and I don’t think he’s really done so, so I won’t stand the way of a wagon on him.

VOTE: megazumarill
honestly if they have the extra vote over chaos it's worth consolidating here

I think that if you had that idea you’d have pushed it rather than asking others about it.
Not seeing how that post 47 has to do with my predecessor potentially seeing who would defend/pocket you. Even if I grant everything in this post, you’re trying to see who pockets you along the way rather than my predecessor’s push.
And if you had done it in 47 and I am misunderstanding why repeat the same question twice? What are you hoping to hunt by being repetitive?
In post 47, Alchemist21 wrote:No. He feels more like low-hanging fruit to me and I think both he and I were interested in seeing who else would push him for voting me. It was notable to me after the first 2 votes that the people voting Seanzie were people who know me, but 2 could just be a coincidence and I wanted to see if there would be a pattern and if anyone would try to pocket me along the way. I wanted to see how it played out a bit more but I think we're past that point now.
This is how I read what you wrote.
S feels like a miselim target. You think S and you wanted who would push S into voting for you.
You were trying to see who would pocket you along the way.
You think that play is not possible now.
This has nothing to do with how S seeing who would pocket/manipulate you but rather who would pocket/manipulate S.
And again if I am wrong here you said figuring this out was dead? Why bring up a dead horse?
My main job as town is to consider all possible options. Having seen prior games where scum didn’t have a PT I didn’t want a potential mass claim situation where people “I am in a PT” “Me too” “Me three” then scum who didn’t have a PT goes “Now we know who to kill.”
I thrive off town making bad assumptions when scum so my goal here was to avoid bad assumptions.

No, this is where you’re wrong. I thought we both wanted to see who would vote S in defense of me, because S was pushing me. That’s where the idea of people trying to pocket me comes in.

Figuring out who else would vote for Seanzie was dead because the wagon changed, but wondering if seeing who would chainsaw defend me was what Seanzie was actually doing was still on the table.

Sorry for getting this wrong. I see it now. I still don’t like the repetitiveness without adding anything new but it’s not as bad as I thought.
