That's terrible indeed. Although, withough knowing its context I don't know whether it's an alignment tell or not.
I can't see why it would be harder to scumhunt in a multiball (assuming there's no SK). Why did he sign up for the game then?
What has his replacement done so far?

I have a very reaching tinfoil theory of Sky/Mikan blueteam.
How far should I speculate this?

Of course, there is SOME minor reasons to even think of that in the first place.

1. Sky's claiming that RC was obvdoc seemed like being cheeky scum
2. Mikan vs RC was Mikan just being snarky and then now she's back to doing nothing.
3. They both have reasons to kill RC, even though he barely did nothing D1.

As for the 159 VC. My intuition says, Not_Mafia and TechnicalDifficulties are both scum but not with each other.

Was the Beefster-wagon launched by TD, in 167? Sesq and RedFlavour jumped on it on the same page. Than came Iconeum. And Sky Paladin.

Assuming bussing is less common in multiballs and 2-people scumteams have to defend each other more than eg. 3-member teams in a singleball, this was interesting.

Oh My Gods, how many times did TD post "after" replacing out?

Beefster was vote-hopping all the time. (Although that's not an alignment tell in itself.)

Meanwhile a wagon emerged on my slot without too much reasoning. And on Not_Mafia again, as far as I can see.

So, the RedFlavour wagon. GiF's vote may be okay (I haven't read everything, remember), Not_Mafia's vote naked, Sesq seemed to be willing to jump anywhere, Mikan's one empty. Beefter's one empty.

1. iirc, yes. At least, I don't think that any reason was given for it beyond lol!NM.

2. Kinda? Beef happened, collapsed, there was a bunch of scattered votes, Hawk happened somewhere, and then GIF got Red to happen. I don't recall offhand if Red was a signifcant wagon between Beef the lynch. Beef consistently had a few votes throughout the whole day phase I think.

3. Unknown. I think Beef = Mikan > Gif > NM > Sesq, although I don't understand NM or Sesq and Sesq was voting someone she thought was town. I think the wagon is gross but this premise is meeting resistance. I'm in middle of trying to get sky to explain to me why he's objecting to me trying to analyze wagon but he hasn't responded in a few days, so yeah.

@Skitter re 553

a -

a) Why you have a problem with me voting Beef even though I'm criticizing the wagon. One of the major reasons I'm scumreading him - and therefore voting him - is because of how he interacted with it. Specifically because he let GIF talk him into voting pretty easily, like without really evaluating it for himself, but then blamed him for it today. Like yesterday he was happy to go along with whatever was being pushed (this is one of those complacency votes I was talking about before) but today he tried to duck responsibility for being on a townflip by blaming GIF.

Why can't you 'abide' my Beef vote exactly? Like I don't really get why you're treating 'voting Beef' and 'criticizing the wagon and not really pushing any other angle' as being like contradictory or mutually exclusive notions.

I have an issue because you're saying players x/y/z are bad for voting player w, but you are also voting w. You are also hedging your bets by simultaneously wanting to back a GiF lynch, but I don't see you really trying to engineer this despite most of your posts being about why GiF is scum (until you voted Beef), and even after voting Beef, you're still making posts about why we should lynch GiF instead.

b) why you don't like my criticism of the wagon in general? Like I strongly believe that there's very likely scum on that wagon given that it was a townflip in multiball and someone on it already flipped green. Is this a premise you disagree with?

I don't have a problem with you criticising the wagon. I have a problem with you criticising the wagon .

To my knowledge, the wagon you had an issue with was the RF wagon, as stated in your 541:

No, because I don't like the Red wagon, neither yesterday nor how GIF is fine with its lackadaisical composition despite Red flipping town.

OK fine. So the argument of where did the Red wagon come from is a valid direction and it is fair to look at those votes. I have no issue with that.

Your conclusion was that and the votes that were for RF comprised of one-or-more scum teams.

Not a problem! I can see where you are coming from.

In your 544 you highlight:

It's a town wagon in multiball. Kop flipped green. Are you really trying to discredit the notion that amongst {Gif/NM/Sesq/Beef/Hawk/Mikan} there's likely to be scum?

But the only players you looked at from that wagon are . It only makes sense for GiF to bail Beefster out if they are buddies together.

Do you think that's what happened? I personally think that's not plausible, in the same vein that I don't think it makes sense for a player to kill Kop after coming in to ask about him, and any player who sits down for more than a few seconds to think about it would come to the same conclusion. So my thought is, I don't think Skitter is really pushing this seriously because if she was thinking about it, she would come to the same conclusion I did, and, therefore look at the other players on the wagon since she believes those votes were bad. That's any of NM, Sesq, Hawk or Mikan (to be fair, Hawk was away, and NM is 'difficult', but Mikan/Sesq are present and could be engaged) and this of course assumes that scum were even on the wagon.

You didn't consider this but it seems obvious to me. And then I wonder, if you're not pushing it seriously...what are you really doing, then?

c) how you think this differs from my towngame?

I feel that town Skitter is direct and confrontational and engages with more players. That said we've only actually had one game together so my sample size of one may be inaccurate~

I feel that you are restricting your perspective to only the players who have chosen to interact with you or are the main topics of today (Beef/GiF). These players already had a lot of players posting about/with/to/for them. You haven't expanded your horizons past what everybody else is interested in. But there are four scum players in this game. You seem to only be looking for two. That's an alarm bell.

I have a very reaching tinfoil theory of Sky/Mikan blueteam.
How far should I speculate this?

As much as you like, because content > no content, and if there is scum!Mikan I want to know about it.

1. Sky's claiming that RC was obvdoc seemed like being cheeky scum
2. Mikan vs RC was Mikan just being snarky and then now she's back to doing nothing.
3. They both have reasons to kill RC, even though he barely did nothing D1.

2 - Is legit. I was happy with her entry and she has improved the TD slot significantly. But then she just vanished. Would like more content/existence please.
3 - What reasons?

Pigeon

If that really happened that may be a tell.
In that post SkyPaladin voted for Not_Mafia and Not_Mafia gave a naked vote for RedFlavour in the very next post.

Yes, this is a thing. Not_Mafia from my experience is a fairly passive-aggressive player and doesn't do anything unless forced (prod dodges so far have simply been revoting the same player) or to push through a lynch.
Unfortunately he appears to do this as town as well so I'm struggling to find a way to really sort him. At the moment I have him as town because of his early response this phase to the RF flip being a vote on Beefster being affirmative rather than reactive action.
But I admit it is a flimsy read.

I also have issues with Sesq 554 as it purely shits on effort for no reason except to push for the Skitter wagon to end. But at least he is expressing a position and opinion, even if I hate it.

Sesq

(2) and (3) looks important, especially because the Beefster-wagon seemed to fade into nothingness.

1) Started in RVS, continued for various reasons because of playstyle I suppose
2)I consider RF wagon a compromise wagon for getting a lynch. There was definitely something there to warrant the lynch
3)In retrospect, I'd say Sesq, Beefster are scum on that wagon. Lynching Beefster for flip would fortify my read, and if that happens I would maybe look at Mikan as well.

So, here's the end of my catchup.
Please, don't point it out that I'm vague because I know I've missed a lot of things. Point out things I should pay attention to instead.
Also, during the day I had some time to read the game on my mobile but I was only able to make notes on a piece of paper.

(1) The Day was started with two naked votes, from Not_Mafia and Iconeum. Can you explain those?

(2) Scitter has too many scumreads and too few townreads. (Which one was it? 458? Or also another one?) I can see a paranoid town moveset here. Especially considering it's a multiball.

(3) SkyPaladin must be town. (Example post is 468.) There read progressions, explanations and they look genuine.

(4) GuyInFreezer, why did you say in 470 that you had been inactive? I don't think it was (and is) true.

(5) Beefster's jump on GIF in the next post was terrible.

(6) (I can't find the post I'm answering this to) Pushing a mislynch is not alignemnt indicative in itself. A town could do that because of misreading someone and a scum could do that intentionally. In a multiball, even scum are scumhunting, so it's also possible that a scum is misreading a townie and getting surprised by the flip. Beefster used the same reasoning for conf-biasing. (Reference needed! I only wrote this without anything else on the paper. It may have been against GIF.)

(7) I don't get the whole Skitter-wagon at all.

(8) Springlullaby's 567 was flat-out terrible. Not liking the Mikan-votes? Whut? There was enough reasoning there which shows that he the game. Or is he scum with Beefster, according to ? Point (B) there is speculative. I don't get (C) at all. The vote is bad, too, he was just throwing it to someone who appeared and appears to be an easy lynch. But about Sesq I'll talk later.
Something else here. He's had three posts so far and I guess he's trying to stay under the radar. Even I have tried harder and I replaced in later than he did!

(9) Back to this, GIF. 571. Where did it come from? As for your 578, why are you scumreading SkyPaladin and why do you think he's scum with Mikan? Why can't they be scum? Why is it important which team a scum belongs to if we manage to lynch ? There hasn't been a scum-flip yet!!!

And now, the recents:

(10) Wait, that's strange. I asked three questions.
The first one was:
Skitter answered in 583:
Iconeum answered in 593:
Even I have found that "various reasons"! So, it's clear that it was NOT an RVS-wagon.

(11) SkyPaladin, 589. Do you mean his early-Day2 vote or something else? Is there any other reason why you townread Not_Mafia?

Readlist comes next.

I did say it was a tinfoil theory.
And the reason for them being blue scum is listed very nicely in those 3 points.

– As I said, in the past he didn't have jokes like the "scumclaim" here. There were other disturbing bits, too, like his Day2 starter vote. In fact I didn't like his 570 either. I mean, what if he tried to get a joke out of me so that he could launch a wagon on a player who had been wagoned earlier (and without letting me catch up)? Because my memories about him might be wrong as well, he's now.

– Altough I haven't read all his long posts thorougly, the ones I've checked look town with genuine effort. .

– There have been plenty of scummy things, see my earlier posts. .

– Plenty of WTF posts. The latest one (586) tells everything. I don't get the part which was about me. He didn't remember his own vote. Aaaand the cherry on the pie is the readlist which is one of the worst ever seen.
STILL, I strongly think he's . Not because of his posts are good. They aren't. I think he's a lynchbait where both scumteams could jump on without getting FoS-ed. Also, behind those posts I can't see a scum agenda. They're simply pointless.

– I really appreciate your role-playing! And I have an idea which will give you a delightful excitement. We could make you wear a kind of french-maid uniform and tie you to a wheel. Then we'll spin you and start throwing mud at you. Like it? Aaaaaah, isn't it? But wait, I must tell you something else! This is a kind of scum test. Shut your eyes and ask for more, more, more! And in the end we'll check you. If your clothes are still clean, you're town. However, if you've got dirty, you're scum.
BUUUUUUUUUT, my problem is that you're Alisae! I haven't had a game with you yet but I know that you're one of the mods of the Team Mafia. Which means, you're a pretty experienced player! So, you MUST know that all the roleplaying you're doing is making your posts un-readable! Also, your predecessor looked scummy, as far as I can remember. The only caveat I found for my read was that fake-hammer (explained earlier). Put everything together: .

– This may be biased by his latest, because you had been "under the radar" while I'd been reading the chat. But your answer for my questions were very town. Everything together: .

– As I said, I don't understand the scumreads on him. What have I missed? The only thing I found were his answers for my questions. Those prevent me hard-townreading him. .

– Reflecting to your recent post the most important thing which disturbed me has been cleared. Otherwise, I found nothing particularly scummy but I wouldn't say that my read is firm. .

– I seriously disliked the only contentful post he's made. And I found his predecessor scummy too. Remember eg. that Beefster–Mumble interaction I pointed out in my 581? (Yes, I can tinfoil too, I know, but) he must be scum with either Beefster or Mikan. .

VOTE: Beefster

Springlullaby would be a better idea but I don't know whether we'd have time for that.

What connects these?

I read Beefster as townish, and the speed of his wagon today doesn't change my mind about that.
As IIRC Beefster was vocal in the RF lynch, it makes me conclude that the proponents of that lynch was not a big scum manipulation.

GIF why are you voting mikan?
