I did read up when I said I would.
But I don't have any real thoughts beyond Llama as town.

And I know that's not acceptable.
But basically, my strongest thought is "why did Bhoy confirm and not post?" and it feels weak and it's not real content... :/
Idunno. I don't get anything from SIV.
If you point me to a post I can try to explain why I don't get anything or maybe I'll pick something up from it? That might help.

That was the only person I had pings either way on my first impression. Honestly I really only mentioned it because blatant prod dodging with some mods doesn't reset the timer, so adding game related content to what was essentially a prod dodge makes it a post with content of some sort, as crappy as the content was.

This is a unique style of questioning though. What alignment relevant information did you hope to glean from those questions?

This is hard for me to tell on whether it comes from a genuine complete newb place or a "I'm scum and feel uncomfortable in the early game" place.
I'd somewhat expect newbtown to react to RVS a bit differently somehow but I can't really words my feelings/the concept right now beyond that.

I'm not totally sure really. This is literally my first time ever with this game so I'm sort of playing things by ear.
From my perspective as town at the start of the game any one of you has a 25% chance of being scum so I'm looking for anything to adjust that probability. Its early days yet and I've not really seen anything that's changed my mind one way or the other. If I had to pick someone for a serious vote I'd say Bhoysterous just because they've confirmed but haven't posted yet and that's the easiest way to deny town information. But, it's only a been a day so they're probably just busy and we should obviously not be seriously trying to lynch anyone yet.
As for saying exactly what reaction I'm looking for, that sort of gives the game away as I'd be telling scum what they need to fake to convince me.

VOTE: Bhoysterous
You say you haven't seen anything that would change your mind yet you cast a serious vote on Bhoysterous. Care to explain?

Also, how have JaeReed been a positive force in not denying town information while Bhoysterous have?

This might be scum? "Why my partner instead of this other dude?" basically is the hypothesis I'm playing with here. I could be reading too much into it and it could just be town trying to get information flowing but it just seems like a really random pick to go me over like, dodo or siv at this stage? Especially given clockwork explained the vote in the post Tuber quotes.

I got a tip from a mafia member in another game, and that person said that the mafia can be very stressed/uncomfortable during RVS, and the transition out of it. Considering that, I just want to point out that Tuberkulos seems the most unnatural with his posts, and is sorely sticking out to me at the moment.

Caution. I thought if I vote on him just because he hasn't posted, someone else can do exactly the same and now we're already at L-1. I probably overestimate what happens at L-1 (everyone directly accusing said player, being ready to finish him at any time), I thought it's better if we stay away from it for a couple of days. And remember, it's not like he said something that makes him scummy, he hasn't said anything. Just about everything could be the reason for that and being mafia is only 1 of them.

If I were to vote somebody, it would be Bhoysterous. But I'd rather search for scummy lines than to vote out someone who is going to get replaced anyway.
I kind of think this type of caution is a little townie.

I think it is because his role as IC, regardless of his alignment. But, I'm not sure if this is should be role indicative or not, because his approach is very ...townie? I don't know how scum IC would approach to town or to their partner, but I'm pretty sure LlamaFluff will say that is depends on personality.

In post 38, LlamaFluff wrote:@Yooh - My vote is because I4F is showing intention to vote a player that has apparently flaked after picking up their PM, and has no intention to vote a different player who flaked but did not pick up their role first. Its a distinction that makes no sense, especially as there are players that had posted but had said literally nothing of substance. It feels like a deliberate choice instead of a natural one.

@SIV - My point is we only have two week deadlines. 20% of the day is over, and very little has been said. This little content is very bad.
clockworkgirl actually did vote Bhoy there though rather than merely stating intent. Is it the intent that you find scummy moreso than the reasoning? If it's the reasoning, why were you not pushing clockworkgirl for it?

Are you normally a passive player?

My god it is so hard to not just omgus SIV rn tbh.

Like, especially finding the whole thing about my interactions regarding clockwork to be disingenuous when I was clearly trying to do a reread and get my head into the game.
But I'm also painfully aware of how prone i am to omgus and wanting to break away from that style of play because more often than not I'm going to be voting town with legitimate suspicions and that doesn't help work towards a cohesive town.
.....but my god do I want to Q_Q

Llama my concern with the passivity is that I feel like you were doing this "sit back and complain" approach and not actually using your vote to get a wagon rolling or sticking your neck out for anything, y'know?

In post 96, LlamaFluff wrote:Can you walk me through your thoughts on why you would even want to OMGUS vote SIV here? From what I am reading, you are upset because he is saying that he thinks you are a good choice of a partner to clock. The worst part of it to me is that they are voting clock and not you instead, as they are using an "If A then B" thought process but just assuming A is true in their vote.
I tend to be an emotional player that expects to be townread as town, even from just a short burst of posting. It's awful play and it's pretty obvious why I'd want to get away from that because entitled townies are kinda obnoxious yet....for some reason I...keep doing it. :/
You pretty much explained it, though in your follow up there. It's the way he's approaching the read there as a whole, it doesn't feel genuine to me. That said, I tend to find any scumread on me to be disingenuous and I find I'm equally as likely to deathtunnel town over it as I am to do so to scum.

The issue with that line of thought where "SIV has to be scum for pushing this" is the driving force, is that if I think about it a little more it's a circle around to motivation as scum being one of:
1) To setup a mislynch on me after bussing his partner.
2) To setup a false clear on me if I were his partner. < this one I find to be especially common where scum will declare their partner to be scum with a townie and then try to lynch the townie instead
3) To attempt to chain mislynches by going after the associate tell then being able to say "oh but Jae is still scummy independently of that"

As for 1, not thinking that's happening here as it feels super unnecessary for D1 and especially so being a newbie and a game where town is lacking in their play and pushes.
2, I know that's not happening here since I'm town.
3, eh maybe? But I don't have any level of confidence in that at all. Like I think as scum he would find it much easier to go after me there than to push clockwork?

It's a weird stance overall but probably not actually scummy, honestly. Moreso objectively bad/anti-town play?

Hard to explain.
As scum I tend to avoid omgus or even mentioning I want to because I like to be consistent in my reads and pushes. I like to make them make sense first and omgus typically doesn't.
So I'll be townreading someone who scumreads me and just end up being really dismissive. Idunno, have some links. I have like 3 scum games on site.

Er, you expressed a scumread on me yet didn't vote me over the assumed partner for me.
If I had an issue with clock being at L2 I'd just unvote. It's as simple as that.
If I were mafia with clock I wouldn't be voting her rn tbh. I don't bus.
I don't have a strong read on clockwork either way, but I'm trying to get reads on other people and that's by asking about motivations for things.

Also, I did a paraphrase jot-note list of what JaeReed has done this game (in notepad but it didn't save). What I noticed is his reads are mostly apathetic, prod-dodging, being apologetic, and just all over picking people and making up reads...... not being focused. (I'm all over the place too, but I'm
too
focused; it's different) I don't know if it's NAI and him being not too much 'into' the game, or if it's because he's mafia.
Not being in the game, regardless of my alignment.
I do think that there was a legitimate point you could have picked on there in that I should have unvoted clockwork if you felt as though I was hard townreading her, because from your pov if I was hard townreading clockwork via my actions then why would I be vote parking on her and encouraging apathy in the game? I honestly haven't been townreading her which is why I haven't bothered to move my vote, but I do think there was a legitimate thing you could have hunted me on there. Not so much now since I just answered, so it's a matter of whether you believe that I don't have a good read on her or not.

I'll try again to get into this game.
Do think SIV is most likely town.

It's just bugging me that I have a JaeReed!Town in my head saying very very different things. Like, "If clockwork does end up being scum then...", or something like tuber who was like "I have no idea what you're going on about". But this JaeReed!unknown seems off to me responding to my accusation as "I just want to explain to all the players that I feel this OMGUS thing whenever people try to say I'm mafia."
Those scenarios were a "if SIV is scum pushing clockwork based off associative tells with me" thing. I think I did float the idea of you and clockwork being partners in that as well? The main thing is trying to think through what you would get out of that as mafia and whether it's more likely to just be a town push to see if you can get something out of it in a slow game.

As to the second paragraph, meh, I can see how it could come across that way, but I did elaborate on it in that post you quoted when I was trying to explain to Llama what about it I found disingenuous.

i wouldn't take people thinking you're scum as indication that you're not very good. i think you've been doing fine. people are going to think you're scum from time to time. if you're not and a lot of people seem to think so, there's a decent chance at least one person that is reading you as scum is scum themselves. i'd also suggest you don't remain deadset in any of your views. if you absolutely think someone must be scum, try to see why others don't think so. maybe they're on to something. alternatively, try to see if there are any hints as to who their scum partner might be
If guyy is scum then don't think it's with clockwork at the very least. In a guyy scum world this is the start of pocketing, I think. While an in-thread reach out to a partner IS possible I think it generally happens with more leading questions to give a direction.

Mafia chat had to stay open for a couple more days. Then, sometime after those couple days were over, clockwork came at you with this:

@Jareed: You said you'd be free to post yesterday but you didn't. When exactly are you going to be able to participate?
Now, probably you mentioned in game that you were going to participate, and clockwork was meaning that she noticed you being inconsistent and lying in game. However, that's a really weird way of scum reading you, and was wondering if it was a very blatant, yet still cryptic way of prodding you to say something in your guy's mafia chat.

I'm probably wrong about that too though, because that would be very risky to just say that in game. Depending on how serious she was in getting input in that chat if applicable.
So I just went back because I completely forgot about the whole maf pt being open for 48 hours. That would have been closed like a day before I posted saying I'd catch up "tomorrow" or something, then two days after that was when clockwork prodded me because I didn't post any thoughts despite saying I would.
maf topic would have been well and truly locked by the time I even posted that I'd catchup soon.

In post 108, guyy wrote:to me, it read as if he's really trying to find information in interactions, which is part of what everyone should be doing. i think it's a lot more likely to be offbase than disingenuous, especially considering how often he's changed his mind. do you think he was being equally disingenuous about everyone else he had suspicions for previously? how would you have read the reactions of those players if they had reacted as you are now?

tbh from my current understanding of your meta from what you've explaining, i think if you're town you'd better serve town if you tried to scumhunt outside of siv for now, even if siv ends up being scum. you could be right, but i think it's pretty likely you're still in an OMGUS mindset without expressly voting that way, which is equally unhelpful and likely to lead to people thinking you're scum, especially if siv flips town
It wasn't about his mind change but moreso the fact that he voted clockwork rather than me based off associative tells with me. And no, prior to that I was playing with "this might be town?" wrt SIV and his pushes, which is one reason I acknowledged my initial reaction and tried to reel it in along with hoping for a bit of help in that area, which Llama did provide some.

Can you explain what you mean by "how would you have read the reactions of those players if they had reacted as you are now?" please? Not sure I quite follow. I think the urge to omgus is entirely unhelpful and I think it's NAI overall whether someone does or does not state that urge. Some people find omgus scummy for whatever reason but I think everything should be looked at with context. Don't think the manner that SIV made that push was good so I think it's understandable that I would have an issue with it.

The last paragraph here is ?????? because I was clearly trying not to listen to my kneejerk reaction and actually reason out what I think is more likely. And I actually do believe that to be helpful, especially since I concluded SIV's thing on me didn't make as much sense from a mafia perspective.

This might hold some water if I'd ever played with anyone here before. I haven't.
Doubt anyone meta diving me would pick up on that particular trait over anything else, either, but I also doubt that Llama would have the time to meta dive me so I think I'd be pretty safe there as maf to just not bother to bring it up.

Sure.
Except it's something I've provably stated many times in the past as town. As scum I don't *think* I draw attention to that so much but I'd have to check?
My first scum game my scum partner claimed scum and I pushed for us to not lynch him and search for any other scum first.
My second scum game my scum partner got a guilty on him and we pushed for the lynch of the watcher instead and had him cc the watcher.
My third scum game ended in a perfect win with none of us getting lynched because we didn't bus.

Bussing in a large number of games is exactly what causes scum to lose. There are very very very niche times where bussing would be a good idea and D1 of a newbie is never one of those times, so...
Like, I do imagine I will bus one day when I think I can get a boatload of cred for it with people who are familiar with me.
This isn't that game.

I've been raged at from the dead thread before for wanting to go through the whole game in lylo when it was considered a lock win. :P
That said, omgus voting in lylo is exactly what you need to do. You have to assume the player voting you is scum because you've lost anyway if they're not.
If you're arguing you think I'm the type to omgus vote... That was already proven false by the fact that I didn't do so.

No lynching on D1 is an extremely bad thing, yeah. There were statistics on it somewhere but I'm writing this on my way out the door for work so I can't really hunt them down right now.
But basically, you don't wanna give mafia a free kill of a townish person without us also lynching someone we think is scummy.
I'm fine with lynching Wheme if he doesn't contribute.
Would prefer Eclipsed over either yourself or SIV but I'm not super in love with a lurker lynch because my confidence in my townreads this game isn't as high as I'd need it to be to do so.
Llama might be my preferred at this stage but I'm aware I'm never going to get the support for an IC lynch D1; just feel like he's doing the absolute minimum but then so am I so /shrug.

Hopefully we get a deadline extension to get content from the Eclipsed replace in. The slot has kind of given nothing all game.

I'd say my arguments are original. Don't think I'm parroting others so I'm really not sure where you're getting that from.

I don't think I get scumreads based on how easy it is to push them either because it certainly would have been easy to push you as scum if I wanted to due to you voting clockwork over me off of associative tells. It wouldn't even have needed to look like omgus in me doing so.

Also really hate how I'm the only one you bring up experience on when Llama is around with way more experience than me and there's another SE, actually. It's good to be aware of confirmation bias and that's one of the signs imo.

Perhaps. But the problem has persisted throughout the day.


Why do you townread him?

Uh, not sure. I've barely read and wanted to pick a scummy person to push considering the deadline
The bolded is a valid concern.

No matter what my role the approach is going to be different. What does he want me to do, just start calling people scum and pushing them when I don't think they are scum? The only player I have been pushing replied to a post of mine and then flaked. There is nothing I *can* do when the game refuses to participate and flakes away. What do you think I am supposed to do when a scum read doesn't respond and then flakes?
Put pressure on someone else.
Push the replacement and try to get content out of them.
In my dive there I saw you're not opposed to policy lynching. Yet if you're lacking scumreads in the active players one would think that would be a valid reason to push a lurker lynch if you're not shy of policy lynches. Even
that
would give more content for us to talk about.
You're lacking a distinct drive for content which I felt you should have as town here - the main question was whether you're someone who can actually drive things as town. I don't entirely believe that you're incapable of pushing slots for pressure.
I think there is a non-zero chance Mulch is scum for this, because apparently he cant find any other scum read, except me, who he is calling scum because I cant find any strong scum read so am not pushing anyone strongly. If he cant find anyone else he is willing to call scum, he is basically scum by his own logic for the exact same reason I am scum to him. Im not going to just fake a read to try and push something.
There was a possibility Mulch was scum for pushing it but this feels like "why me fry me", basically. My argument here would have been that you had suspicions on Mulch in that other game so he would be pushing you to get rid of a player that might be able to read him.
But this is far worse and more likely to be scum trying to take advantage of a situation compared to town acting on confirmation bias and incorrectly applying meta:
JaeReed wrote:I don't townread him. I want more from your slot though. We can push this if it'll help. I'll check that game once I'm back from the hospital.
This really bothers me from JR too. It seems to be preemptively pawning off a town flip on Mulch and looking to line up lynches. If I die, he can now turn around and look directly at Mulch.
How so? I did the meta dive when I said I would, so it's not like I'm just going to point at Mulch and say "he said it was a meta tell so he's scum pushing a mislynch with incorrect meta" - which would be such a rubbish push that I wouldn't honestly expect anyone to buy it anyway. I can see his point regarding why you could be scum here since you did a lot more in the last game he played with you. I can also see your point that you were a replacement and there was a lot more content to start from.
I was scumreading you for not attempting to drive the game forward (making no real push in content or votes/wagons) but didn't think it was a viable wagon for the day since multiple people stated they weren't lynching you today. What does a scum!me have to gain from pushing that wagon?
I know some people have called him scum in the past, and we have under 12 hours to have a lynch happen. With his last vote but comment to set up all of the blame at the foot of another player,
this is not at all what I really want
, but a lynch has to still occur or we are in a very bad spot right out of the gate.

I will probably be around for just a little bit before deadline hits, its just about an hour after I get up for work in the morning. Claims absolutely should happen before deadline, but that is why we need to do stuff NOW. Mislynching a power role is even worse than messing up and letting this day go to no lynch.
1) Think this is nothing more than dressed up omgus so far.
2) Your vote on me is actually what looks most opportunistic, since your scumread of me came as a "feels unnatural" after SIV and guyy express interest, which felt opportunistic in itself.
3) Please explain the bolded; because that reads like you're already excusing yourself for my townflip as a deadline push.

Possibly, I am trying to figure out what are the chances that you are town who is just trying to force meta to work in a spot where it doesn't work or not. I think JR is probably scum though given his response which would make you probably town trying to make something apply that doesn't.

why jaereed instead of mulch? if you're concerned about no lynch why not vote mulch, who already has a vote
As noted, the complete opposite. I think there is a next to zero chance they are both scum. I could get behind ASP... after an awkward starting post he ghosted on us. Like JR a bit more though. Just feel like he was waiting for an excuse to jump my wagon and Mulch gave it to him. I will try to set my alarm an extra hour or so early. Prepare for lots of 5am spelling errors.
Given you're pulling pre-flip associatives here.
Let's say I flip town.
Who would you say is scum so far?

Actually, Llama/ASP.
You could be voting me for either. Slightly more likely to be trying to get a CW for ASP I think, since voting alongside Llama might be less likely for newbscum to do.
You don't seem to be townreading either of the other two slots and go back and forth on me a lot so I would like to know in your own words why exactly you think a lynch on me will net you anything valuable.

(Also you don't need to announce L3, just L2/L1)

Who would you rather lynch then?
My current understanding of your stance is that you'd like to lynch me, but you don't want people making "information lynch" votes on me, and you don't want a lurker lynch because it comes equally from either alignment.
I think your pushback here actually might be more likely from town at this point because I can't see a reason for scum to not just join in with something here when we have more than one option but actually push back against both (especially given if ASP is your partner you already set the groundwork to vote me by stating I might be scum), however, we're at 3 days til deadline, and if we don't reach a consensus by then we'll no lynch, which we really don't want. Before a lynch we have to allow time for a claim, so we
are
under a bit of pressure here. If you have an alternative you'd prefer I'm all ears.

We got an extension for the replacement, it seems.
We still want to settle on a lynch, but you can do that while continuing to question and answer.

Currently my vote goes on Mulch just at a glance. He is just jumping around on any potential wagon trying to see what sticks- when Llama was under pressure, his vote went there. He voted me to try to create a pressure wagon, and now he's on Jaereed who is, with that vote, the largest wagon- and all his reasoning has been absolutely terrible (Meta is garbage; wagoning an inactive is garbage; "gut" sometimes nails people (Micro 732), but is heavily unreliable.).

My current understanding of your stance is that you'd like to lynch me, but you don't want people making "information lynch" votes on me, and you don't want a lurker lynch because it comes equally from either alignment.
I think your pushback here actually might be more likely from town at this point because I can't see a reason for scum to not just join in with something here when we have more than one option but actually push back against both (especially given if ASP is your partner you already set the groundwork to vote me by stating I might be scum), however, we're at 3 days til deadline, and if we don't reach a consensus by then we'll no lynch, which we really don't want. Before a lynch we have to allow time for a claim, so we
are
under a bit of pressure here. If you have an alternative you'd prefer I'm all ears.

In post 212, SIV36 wrote:From my perspective:
You have admitted that you are prone to OMGUS reactions. I feel insincerity when you say "If you're town", I think that was deliberately placed in there. It's clear that my alignment is not the main concern for you, otherwise you'd put more focus on it. This is all a defence of your position. Had you been a town, you'd mentally assume my alignment and work from it. It's clear you are seeming desperate to want your questions answered, yet you couldn't let me assume that you may know my alignment. You couldn't just say "Your post is unhelpful...etc" You had to throw in that extra piece of info to try to sway me from thinking otherwise.

And this is one of many flags that make me suspicious that you are one of the mafia.
This isn't a scumtell by any stretch and I'm struggling to see how you could genuinely come to this conclusion, honestly. I'm trying to sort out if you're bad town or mafia. You're picking on my wording which is something that is ultimately down to how I type and my personality.
One really handy feature of the site is that you can go to my profile > View user's posts. There's a search bar there and if you type "if you're town" into it (with the quotation marks) the phrase will be searched through my posts on this site. Some will return posts like this where someone else is saying the phrase and I quoted them, others will be mine (be mindful of ongoing games if you're doing this - treat those as if they don't exist). There's 5 pages of results when I search myself for that phrase. All of the completed games that return that result I was town in, ftr.

These are my two scum games on this account:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... 2#p8426299 < 12 posts in 10 pages.
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... 2#p8996392 < 22 posts in 19 pages.
Combined that's 34 posts total of me being scum on this account. There's no excuse to not read my ISO in those games and get a feel for my scum game. None of which do I use the phrase "if you're town".

In post 212, SIV36 wrote:This answer raises huge alarm bells. I say you are mafia because you are x, y, z. The easiest response for a mafia is to just say that they did not x,y, z. Especially when saying that you did x, y, and z is a huge assumption on my part.

When I accuse someone that they waited until midnight, and then I say they probably thought they were cool when they strutted into my room to commit the act of stealing my cash, the most likely way a person would lie is: No, I didn't do that. I was asleep at midnight, and I never feel cool." It's a lot easier to just tell these half-truths instead of just saying "I did not steal your cash at all. " People take the path of least resistance, and saying "I am not mafia" when you are is more difficult than saying truths.
You accused me of being mafia for things that I think are blatantly untrue. So yes, I'm going to say I don't see it that way.
I am not mafia. Happy? Of course not. I can explain that I think your reasons are bogus and that might actually have a chance of getting people to see what I'm seeing. If I don't do that then this just becomes an ego match of who can scream "No I'm not" "yes you are" the most and the loudest and that's not playing mafia.
I really don't even know what you're trying to push here. You told me I have little originality and have scumreads based on how easy it is to push them, and I explained why you were wrong. Yet you're now just using that as an excuse to stick in this weird tunnel on me. If you're town, you're confbiased.

In post 212, SIV36 wrote:I town-read Llama because I can feel his genuine frustration with the game being full of lurkers and not getting enough content.

Uhhh
I don't even. This is so off.

If Llama were actually frustrated I would expect that to come across more in his posting. He's saying he's frustrated but he's not pushing for more content and pretty much disappeared the moment I pushed back on him.

Wanna know who IS frustrated with the lack of content? Me. Because I'm looking at this, going "I'm going to flip town and we've got 9 pages and no one is actually voting me for half decent reasons" and trying to get content and I have people like you making gloating posts instead of answering my questions which are an attempt to sort the lot of you before I go down. Because if I'm going down I'm going to make damn sure I'm confident in some reads that I can rub in town's face at the end of the game if they go on to mislynch me.

@JR - Are you calling Mulch scum or no? You seem to suggest something off meta but are just floating it out there.
I don't know re:Mulch. I'm just saying he's different. It could be the lack of spamming and that could have no real relevance to his alignment. I know people were reaming him for it in the last game I saw him in so it's not unreasonable to think maybe he's toning it down for that reason. I'd need to check what he was like in your game to have any real idea whether it could possibly be as simple as spamming = town for him. Even then, it's not a large enough sample size for me to be comfortable making a read off of. What I'd really like is a lot more reasoning from him.

Question for you. You know when you come in as a replacement to look at the largest wagon as town. Yet you had no read on me when you decided to derail it. I really do need to know exactly why you have no read on me having actually seen firsthand how garbage my scum play is. I find it really hard to believe you as town don't have a read on me. If you could quote posts where you waffle on me and explain why that'd be helpful.

But yeah they weren't great points, I just wanted to poke at you a bit. :P sorry boo. <3

I have some thing to check up on wrt mulch but you might be barking up the wrong tree and if I can confirm that I'll have some links for you.

So thing is Mulch self voted here and pushed a lynch through on himself because he was sure project was scum.
I'm struggling to reconcile Mulch who is not spam posting anymore due to ppl complaining that game he should be banned for it with Mulch who self votes despite the same thing in the same game.
It's not really a case so much as a weird thing tho. As in, I can see either alignment doing it. tbh the answer I was expecting was pretty much "because it worked" and that would have been fine but eh. I can't get inside Mulch's mindset at all :/

Llama's vote is again opportunistic tho.
I'll check again when I finish work to be sure I want Llama over Mulch since I just made myself late (but it's worth it for you, Ginngie <3). Also want to see Raya's full catchup before we lynch.

^ then why is your vote parked on me?

@guyy siv is probably my main suspect rn for this weird disconnect that seems to hold throughout the game. I can't really explain that one but it's how he keeps making posts like the above but sticks to this dumb tunnel on me ultimately? I can't figure if it's just coming from badtown over newbscum though.
I'd also suspect llama but I kinda liked his pushback on me - it felt like true omgus and had this kind of... Complainey tone over being voted by me despite me not really making it a secret that I felt he had dropped off and wasn't doing much. It felt like he felt he was in the right, basically. Don't think siv is mafia if llama is because the above post I can't really see being a post about a partner, but could be last second distancing I suppose? Just wouldn't match with his play so far I think for it to be partners.

Pedit this all pertains to 453

Glad that game is over.
So I was worried siv might be lynchbait when I glanced at his other game and saw he was the d1 mislynch but like, going through this iso I kinda think there's a diff between siv there and here? Thoughts, ginngie?

Zzz well I'm not sure llama is scum with siv so I don't want to vote there and I don't have any conviction in mulch flipping scum either. Would rather flashwagon someone I actually think is scum than settle for either of those.

Do you think llama could be scum with siv and is my reasoning for why I don't think they're scum together bad? If so, why?

Don't think that makes him caught scum but ok.
The townread is pre bad tho now that I've gone back to check what you were talking about here. Like iirc llama likes policy lynches on anti town shit which your self vote should fall under yet it had the opposite effect this game?
Eh I guess I can see it. I was just kinda worried the lurkiness and self preservation shit was for another reason.
Still would prefer siv tho tbh.

Zzz I don't sr ginngie tho llama.
This is kinda why I was hoping for siv flashwagon
Can we do that instead? Like compare his iso that game and reaction to being suspected there to here. I can't words things perfectly but it's a fair difference and one I think is more likely scum.

We already proved one game meta is wrong due to what Mulch was pulling on me. There are a ton of reasons a player can be different. Alignment. Game state. Game speed. How much fun they are having. Role. Meta from a single game establishes baseline activity and skill. Meta from a large number of games can start establishing some weaker alignment tells.

Also I still have zero reason why Ginngie was voted me. The actually still refuse to answer that question and now are just sheeping the biggest wagon in a hope to stay alive.
Except the way I'm doing this meta is different from "tone". It's the reaction to him being pushed. There's a huge difference that I can't explain which is why I posted the iso link and asked for ginngie to look at it.

Ginngie will obvtown or obvscum given time so I'd really rather not go there. Especially given I'm seeing glimpses of her town game here.
Mulch's frustration with me earlier and the back and forth with ginngie I think points to him being town.
Siv has been trying to keep open as many options at opportune times as he can this game. I don't believe his tunnel on me is genuine at all. I think if he's town tho then the scum team are lurkers. I'd be looking at someone like raya due to how she did the catch up then dropped off.

I don't want Llama to claim either. It's incredibly antitown for them to do so rn and they already committed to claiming D2 first post so drop it, please.

@llama read from here to 478. There's your answer. Ginngie started to suspect SIV from his behaviour about your wagon.

I'm pretty sure we're all town.
I'm pretty sure this is just scum!SIV.

I'd really rather not lynch a lurker that I don't even really scumread over a strong scumread.

Llama is already going to claim D2. Just leave it til then. I'm pretty sure that Llama is actually just a town PR here.

So I'm not sure whether i'm sticking in this game or not.
I really have no drive for this.

That said. I have zero drive for watching a replacement push obvtown mulch sooooooooo.
Yeah.
There's that.
So this is a prod dodge in the form of "never voting mulch ever so change your tactics if ur scum"
