there's just something I can't put my finger on that tips me off about you and I probably would have been able to identify it had I not tipped my hand early and made the correct push but I think you are playing Too Good To Be True in a sense. Prove me wrong by all means but your play has tipped me off in the way that CultD3 did not.

For it to be a true fight, there must be consequences - life and death -lynch or let live. Without the danger there can be no information gained.
A quick, calm, logical town!rebuttal. I think pooky would have gotten more excited at the opportunity to pocket me by fighting if he was scum.
This is where I become pretty much locktown on pooky. The next post is Deimos's first long quotey townie post, afterwards pooky responds by showing he's on the same page about me.
Pooky is 'brutaly honest' in defense of him. The honesty makes pooky and deimos seem town.

I prefer option a) I solve the game and everyone sheeps me and then I get lynched upon BoP if I’m wrong
Worried about trusting the game to one player who I know nothing of? Yes, naturally.
I don't have such blind faith in you, nor lack of self-esteem for myself, that I would readily agree your strategy is higher EV than a cooperative, interactive one, where I still get to rely on my own judgment.
thats an interesting list. to me none of those people are obvtown. maybe deimos? but no its too early to say for deimos. actually, deimos is leaning the other way at this early stage.
Pretty significant progression to go from Deimos is maybe obvtown to Deimos is leaning "the other way" (I assume that means scum). Walk me through your thought process there?
In post 87, votato wrote:we arent gonna discuss day 2 because it could help scum to discuss it now.
How so?
explaining that would help scum. you trying to bait me into explaining it makes me think you're scum.[/quo*te]
blink
...Huh? I am just-huh?! You think talking about day 2 helps scum and because I asked for more detail why I'm scummy for it... am I getting that all right?
Yes, that's exactly right, and his argument was pretty straightforward so I dislike this seeming indignation.
In post 160, SleeperSoul wrote:actually if I count myself as town then everyone else has exactly 75% chance of being town. I calculated this yesterday.
Also, according to my calculations, there are 28 possible scum pairs in this game if I count myself as town.
And what value does this latter calculation provide you? What is the value of outing it?
Deimos makes his first superDUPERserioustownie post. At this point I am reading him as town.
In post 173, Deimos27 wrote:This some kind of metaread? I get gutpings from like every one of his posts.
Deimos expresses doubt on pooky's confidence on me, like a good townie should.
In post 84, Clover Ebi wrote:Also a question I was thinking about pregame and would like some opinions on: Say we fail this day one. Is it best to lynch inside the Coli day 1 or go outside it to see if-you know what the more I type out this post the more stupid I feel nevermind

we arent gonna discuss day 2 because it could help scum to discuss it now.
its serious.

Seems townie to me. Logical post from concerned a townie.
In post 103, votato wrote:you trying to bait me into explaining it makes me think you're scum.
Sounds like something I would say.
Something I'd say as town.
In post 110, votato wrote:yes. talking about scum's optimal strategy only helps scum at this stage. insisting that we discuss scum's optimal strategy and in fact trying to goad me into explaining what i think that strategy is, is scummy.
Another logical concernedtownie post.

This is a good, townie question and followup.
In post 37, DonCorleone wrote:How about this: I read the game instead of playing, once I get to 4 townreads we make them + me the coalition and if I’m wrong you lynch me?
I did say the plan was 'boring' but if DC really is good at sitting back and reading like it seems he is, then this is a townie plan similar to mine, except my plan was to talk a lot more.
Sleeper is town.
Clover is town.
Pooky is lightly town.
Votato is lightly town.
Aldus is null.
Bugspray is null.
Deimos is lightly scum.
Tux may be scum.
At the time I liked this list because I'm on the top, of course . I'm reading deimos as town at this point but it only recently 'flipped' so I can understand DC's scum lean on deimos. Overall, this post is a major factor in my town lean on DC. The only thing I'm not sure about is the clover read. I had a null read on clover at the time. But as I am looking to substantiate my coalition reads, I haven't really seen anything scummy from clover jumping out at me so far. Also I haven't really been looking at clover, I intend to do so after this long post is completed.
ME:
Spoiler:
Okay, that's my reads substantiated, now I will finish catching up on everyhing.
I do want to dissect this. I have several issues with this analysis. Idk. maybe I'm crazy. I just think this isn't an honest analysis at all and relies a lot on older posts rather than showing solidified reads of the coalition based on later posts.

It's absurd that you think you have a meta read on me based on a sample size of one town game. Take a look at my scumgame!

You've made claims about things you do as scum in this thread which I find disingenuous. Perhaps I lack the words to explain ~why~ I think you are not town but I have this nagging suspicion in my head and cannot in good faith include you in a coalition with me.

I'm not gonna dig up those examples while phoneposting, but I will happily do so on Saturday when I get back to my computer. Everything I've said I've done as scum is present in Open 778.

I don't care about comparing this game to that one I care about what your own stances are and your reads on other's actions I can surely use that as a supporting argument but regardless I'm not interested in you atm. I am much more concerned about Soul atm.

You said you thought I was disingenuous in my comments about what I've done as scum. I am saying that I have in fact done the things I've claimed to have done, and I am in fact using myself as anecdotal evidence of a scum paradigm.

I thought 723 was one of Sleeper's better posts, so I do look forward to your analysis of it.

It elucidates the reasoning for his initial coalition. I don't think the analysis is particularly
good
, but I can see why a player like Sleeper would
think
that these are good reasons. This was like the first time he made a long analysis post, and it reads as genuine to me, even if the subject matter is quite outdated.
The main thing that's been bugging me about Sleeper is consistent tonal scumpings. I don't recall getting any from that post. Just noobtown vibes.

You’re right about this, but ability to explain motives isn’t necessarily a good reason to TR someone nor is it necessary for someone to be town. I think I’m often as able to explain my thoughts as scum if not more so, whereas when I’m town there’s more going on and it’s actually harder sometimes
Because it’s helpful to me to know how much experience you have with playing mafia I.e. are you a newbie or an experienced player obscuring their identity?

Strongly leaning alt because it took me like 3 months to figure out how to go GIFs on this forum
but I think you are playing Too Good To Be True in a sense. Prove me wrong by all means but your play has tipped me off in the way that CultD3 did not.
