to use this reasoning, the fact that Benmage is going through difficult stuff IRL may also influence how much of his mood is passing on to his posts, regardless of alignment.
I don't think so. When The Wire and Yoloville were going on at the same time, Benmage was working hard in Wire despite the circumstances that were making him /effort in Yoloville. I guess it's early to say it for sure but language-wise I'd be surprised if he was scum anything.
Do you think the whole Thor/Benmage thing is something besides two strong ego's butting heads?
Cut: I'd say I like you too but you're kind of null to me, probably because there's alot of noise to see the not-noisers.

Uh, ok, you need to explain how you came up with ten scumreads. I just went and ISO'd you right now to see if you've already answered this and you haven't - the exact number doesn't matter it's the fact that there's so many of them at this point.
Also, Tierce, I don't really buy the SD-Nacho slip thing. That requires them to be connected explicitly via scum QT and I can see SD making that error as town.

By the way Tierce, having read that dude's full ISO, I don't really think he's scum. I remember him reacting the same way to being suspected when he was town in The Wire (which you really need to read if you haven't already).

I know it does. I'm not voting SafetyDance for the Ellibereth bit.
macmollie--it doesn't matter if he does it or not. I'm telling you to let SafetyDance speak for himself (or reply when asked, as Empire's doing), please. If after he does so you still think he's being unfairly attacked, then by all means. Just don't try to cut the flow at this point.

StupendousMan, how much offsite mafia experience do you have, if any?

Holy shit, I don't think I can ever even bring myself to suspect mollie after #895. Call me a sucker or whatever but that shit was just way too genuine and just hit way too close to home.
Spoiler: An Empire Mafia Autobiography
I started playing mafia in 2010 but I've only been playing forum mafia since last year. I came from EpicMafia (which, as you might know, is pretty notorious around here) and I'm used to chat mafia, 10 minute days and being able to call out entire scum teams within minutes. Being able to write lots of words in my old site was basically impossible which I guess is why I really treasure the opportunity to do so here. When I first started playing on MS, the shift was super jarring to me - as in, the concept of not even knowing the full setup (EM setups are all what you guys would call open/semi-open) was just absolutely mindblowing to me. I think I've been picking stuff up pretty easily but I still feel like a noob in a lot of ways and like I really don't know what I'm doing (doubly so now since I've come off a 3 month hiatus).
Looking over this post, I guess I don't really know what the point of it is except to let you know that I know it feels to adjust to a different site in a LOT of ways.
Anyway, here's a current reads list from the Empire head of the hydra to make Thor more frustrated. Llamarble's not on right now, but I want to talk with him and see where he's at so we can compare notes.
Oh and I forgot, Nacho, I just looked at your second PoE list again to compare where we're at, and you need to cross Tierce off of it on the double mister. Do you remember what I said about my expertise? This shit is non-negotiable.

And for the record, this is a pretty good response to the reasoning for your vote (the only vote on him at the time besides Syryana, and the singular vote with any reasons attached):

How is "I'm confused" good? Hadn't someone just explained the possible-slip? Even if they hadn't, "good" is quite a stretch.
It's not good as in "this is full of insight and analysis and brilliant play." It's good as in "this is a town POV."

- A pretty cool depiction of Jaime/Brienne in the bear pit
It wasn't so adorable when I tried to write an exam and he laid on my keyboard and then looked up at me like "how dare you". Okay yeah that was really adorable too, but took me twice as long to finish the exam.

I'll get caught up here tomorrow. It's late and this kitten is demanding. and a kitten!
Oh but I meant to mention this earlier. Yesterday I mentioned to Syry in the neighborhood that I was leaning town on Elleheathen and he responded that it made sense since that was nacho and I had already said I was leaning town on Nacho. I had to correct him who Nacho was, so it is a plausible slip.
And Empire - You're a mean troll. I'm awesome

So here's how this works. I'm leaving, and AGar is going to take my place.
I considered doing the WHY DONT WE SHOW THEM ALL HOW TO PLAY A RESTRICTION as town because we all know I'm spiteful and bitter and an ass.
My reads are as they were as I haven't read since then. Tierce is town though, I just wanted to be a bit more careful with things.
Anywho. AGar is awesome and is taking over for me so treat him great and don't spoil tons of things for him.
<3s and all. Peace.

Hey, SyrGod, the Powers That Be(and/or less wagon-happy people this hydra) have cautioned me to not follow your wagon, so I'm not. Consider this as emphatic support.
I apologize for my/our "lack of scumhunting", this game has kinda been boring me--the content in this game is kinda dense, which intimidates me. Lots of unfamiliar faces too. If it can help you guys, I can give a 'reads' list like others if it's wished, but meh.

Putting Benmage and macmollie on the 'town for today' list and now going back to read from the start with a narrowed-down list of vote candidates to see if we can spot anything.

Do people have Shadoweh townreads? This head hasn't played with her very often but she seems like the sort of player who certain people might have a good record of reading.

yes, but you dont need meta for that

The implication there is that she's the sort of player who this head can't read very well, so yes we kind of do.
This seemed like a flat-out unhelpful position for scum to take at the time. Also, #338 seems to show some thinking. This head is a little taken with his Shadoweh scumread, too.
