I'm having a brain fart. What do you mean by "it's not much left"?In post 31, insomnia wrote:The town circle is opened to sistas and brothers alike, however, you have to prove yourselves first. The trial commences. It’s not much left...
Recruitment starts right now. You will be selected to be a member of the town circle throughout the game.
Now that Aaron has given his reasoning, why is Mac obvious town to you?In post 41, Chara wrote:VOTE: insomnia
hello everyone. the playerlist seems fun. don't worry, i'll be the saviour this game deserves and make it as boring as possible.
starting with.. insomnia. the bird is obviously town, so where is your issue coming from?

Also, what did you mean by it's not much left?
It's a minor impression I get from a couple of his posts, which feel off beat. In particular this here:
In post 28, insomnia wrote:No! I can’t trust you Wimpy!
No high fives until I rest assured that you are a brother and not a traitor.
It struck me as odd to say since somni was using 'brother' in the singular sense toward Wimpy. It would have been weird for somni to say: "No high fives until I rest assured that you are a brother or a sister and not a traitor."In post 29, profii wrote:what about the sista's ?
This isn't scummy, but it is a tad bit off, and gives me the impression that profii is anxious to establish rapport with somni.
This was also off:In post 65, profii wrote:
Have you played with wimpy before?In post 64, Alchemist21 wrote:

It's fairly obvious from your #64 that you hadn't played with Wimpy, so this added no value and comes off to me as pseudoengagement.In post 71, profii wrote:
I get why insomnia is coming from but I guess its ok to ask the question you asked if you dont know someoneIn post 70, Alchemist21 wrote: No.
That was the reasoning at the time of my post, but while we're on the subject, this also gives me the same vibes:
The pocket line reads artificial to me, giving me a similar impression as the interaction with somni above. Somni wasn't awarding him town points because he came to the correct conclusion about Wimpy; he awarded him points for making note of Alchemist coming to theIn post 97, profii wrote:But by the same token, I dont feel like you issuing me town points is really warranted because I feel it was obvious that Wimpy did not want pressure... are you trying to pocket me?wrongconclusion.

As I said, he wasn't awarding you town points for making the correct conclusion on Wimpy. He was awarding you town points for pointing out that Alchemist didn't make the right conclusion. How easy it was to make the conclusion on Wimpy doesn't play into it.In post 128, profii wrote:

Could you explain how they are the same.
Wimpy: I like bacon
Alch: I don't think Wimpy likes bacon.
Profii: I don't know how Alch concluded that.
What Insomnia is saying: I like that profii pointed out that Alch is wrong.
What you're claiming he's saying: I like that profii concluded that Wimpy likes bacon.
These are completely different things. He town read you for calling out alch, not for reading wimpy correctly.- Ame

My perspective on insomnia's 57 is that mafia often dance around their reads because they know they are pushing town and so are sensitive to the fact that their reasoning is flawed in some way. That's the impression I get from somni's read on you. (1) Do you think this is a valid interpretation? (2) And if you still disagree, what specifically makes you think otherwise? Furthermore, you stated that insomnia plays aggressively as town. (3) Have you played in a game where he was scum? (3a) And if not, what makes you think he wouldn't play the same way as scum? Surely he'd want to emulate his town style.In post 191, Alchemist21 wrote:

I’m not compelled to move my vote from Macabre but if I had to I would move it to Profii.
I wasn't clear with my question before: (4) if you had to gamble on who the mafiateamwas at this point, who would you choose? Basically, I'm interested in your suspicions other than profii. If you're not comfortable answering the team question, I'd just like to hear your general suspicions on players (not town reads).
(5) For what reason are you not inclined to remove your vote from Mac? You stated before that your vote was just an attempt at moving out of RVS.
When you respond, could you number each question as provided?
To add to Wimpy's post: it is AI because it indicates that were not making a genuine attempt at game solving and that your reasoning was made up after the fact in response to somni's inquiry.- Ame

Do you agree that your conclusion of Wimpy was premature/incorrect? (If not, please explain how the last two lines are not true).In post 192, Wimpy wrote:
insomnia - why ask that question? it doesn't help you figure him out
alch - yes it does, it tells me that he responds well to pressure
The bolded is the issue. I don't want to be endlessly harassed doesn't mean I like pressure or I respond well to it. It just means i am not going to take my ball and go home every time I am pressured.
-Lastly, do you think this reasoning is valid:

@InsomniaI understood your ~town train of thought; however, I believe what I posted is a valid hypothesis for what may have actually been going on as ~scum. That being said, I believe you and my impression has reversed. Rereading your posts, they read natural and uncontrived. I also agree with your reasoning behind your Alch read in 207. I was expecting ~town Alch to lessen his read of you based on the reasoning I presented (that hasn't seen your scum game). The fact that he stood by it is worrying. However, I am leaning town because I think that finding someone suspicious for opening with "hi" is absurd enough that scum wouldn't be inclined to post it.
@Aaronyou stated in 184 that you hadn't seen insomnia's retraction when you made your vote in 75, but in 133 you referenced his retraction as a part of why you scum read him:

that it assigned an alignment to an NAI opinion about day 1. even if saying "first scum" sounds like an exaggeration/joke from profii. not the biggest thing but as i still haven't found anything else to chew on i'm fine with it, and profii's posting in general doesn't have townvibes so far. it's really not a big read, but since i didn't elaborate before i get why you're asking.In post 214, Ame wrote:@Chara what didn't you like about profiis jtb vote?

i'm fine with day 1 because the first step for me in understanding how to read someone is getting a feel for how they play and think.

Scum leaning for the same reason as Aaron and another. More in a subsequent post. Also, I very much like the rationale behind your ame-luca theory, but there wouldn't be a need for me to set luca up for a vote switch unless you think I'm also scum with profii (otherwise there wouldn't be a reason to swing the wagon from him which has had town consensus).- Ame

I meant to comment on this before: this conclusion seems unwarranted. Even with the interpretation that Alch's question was non-malicious, it's null at best. Something not being malicious doesn't make it towny. Alch's question and explanation were fairly simple/straigtforward, and something that could easily come from either alignment. How are you differentiating Alch's questioning here as town asking a trivial question from scum asking a trivial question?In post 225, AaronFrost wrote:Doing an ISO dive on you.
I thought your question towards Wimpy was fine. Like maybe you could've been trying to instigate something there but it honestly seemed like you were trying to figure out whether his reaction to pressure would be personality indicative or alignment indicative which is +town points for you (I'm townleaning Wimpy as well btw). I also have similar thoughts regarding profii although I do disagree with you saying insomnia's 57 was townie.
Overall though I think you're pretty townie.
btw the not-malicious argument is a straw argument for disagreeing with the accusations made against Alch because no one is arguing that he was being malicious (insomnia retracted that view immediately after suggesting it, and profii denounced the idea that it was strategic in the same post he theorized about it). Note: Chara also used this straw reasoning for justifying his disagreement with the Alch push here. Again, Insomnia's case against Alch is not that Alch was being malicious but rather that [a] his question toward wimpy doesn't actually produce anything of value (based on the reason Alch claimed), andhis erroneous conclusion that wimpy responds well to pressure, suggesting that Alch was coming from the mindset of already knowing wimpy's (town) alignment. If disagreeing with the case, those are the two points that should be addressed.
Could you address each of the numbered questions. I understand your process, but as mentioned, your 175 indicates that you had already done this. You reaffirmed your view on Aaron at that point. Later in #235 you did this same thing again.In post 309, Luca Blight wrote:

What about the thought process do you (did you) like? It's a fairly surface-level accusation. Like with Aaron's read above, the town conclusion seems unwarranted. How are you differentiating town Aaron from making a surface accusation from scum Aaron doing the same thing?In post 235, Luca Blight wrote:

Providing some reads (particularly scum reads) would be really helpful. Even if you aren't sure on something, just knowing what you find interesting or suspicious would be of value.

Right, the point is you re-reviewed him twice and came up with a solid town read twice, but now you find his read to be fake. It's peculiar to me that you made your read so explicit and so early based on something quite weak. It came off to me like you needed to show him your progression for meta purposes, but that it wasn't genuine. Additionally, the "I usually go back and forth" line implies both that you had evaluated more than just his 133 and also that your read was fairly solid. So your turnaround here is vexing.- Ame

It's best to ignore wimpy for now. Really don't want to read 20 pages on something so silly and it just gives scum a way to engage with something if no value.
@ev read in the context of his overall play.
@chara I meant you, I was just hesitant to use 'it'. i don't think it's likely you're scum with Aaron, particularly for the post i found telling of his alignment (288). Unlikely scumate would interject I think.
@insomnia agree that aa, al, and pr cannot all be scum together.
aa-pr or aa-al. But pr cleared from being scum with al.
I'm quite certain on aaron. I don't intend to move my vote to anyone else today. Full analysis sometime later if there's time.- Ame

I don't think it's enough to count out the pair since profii had already been under heat. Going back to 288, I keep going back and forth between the motivation of this post. It stands out to me as either:In post 419, Macabre wrote:

Aaron, feeling more and more likely that his partner was going to be lynched, wanting to make it known that he was so totally scum reading him like freal dawg, or
Aaron, wanting to move his vote over to a more likely ml (than insomnia) and feeling that he needed to make it clear that it wasn't out of left field
Either is plausible: Distancing or fear of looking opportunistic. Either way, it's scum motivated. One thing that lends support to the former is Aaron's inquiry into whether anyone was town reading profii (and his further prodding of egix). It's as if he was looking for someone other than himself to defend profii, and to potentially have the option to be "convinced" against his scum read if it came down to it.
I'm not seeing this, could you quote the relevant posts?In post 421, Alchemist21 wrote: I think if Aaron is scum then Profii is Town. He handled Profii’s early game statements about me the same way he handled Insomnia’s and scum Aaron would have been trying to undermine 2 Town slots’ posts in that scenario.
From Al, #101 was too early for Al to ask about his scum mate. Within the first few pages, scum are hypervigilant when it comes to not making connections with each other. In that same vein, from Pr, #71, #92, and #97 are too blatant of a defense to be from a scum mate.In post 422, insomnia wrote:Why do you think Alch and profii can’t be scum together? I haven’t seen anything that proves that theory or at least makes it somewhat viable. @Ame- Ame

#476 doesn't come from town Chara.
Regarding PR, Chara is more likely to be so. Aarons "slip" likely wasn't
a slip. It was meant to cut things short and add credibility to the the idea that he wasn't scum with Chara which was the goal of his "defense" post against me (any attempt to further "spew" Chara).
Also lynching Chara gives us the chance to build a proper wagon. And a potential ML that Chara and Wimpy so desire.- Ame

I'm actually pretty surprised that it's being read as genuine. It's something that could have easily been played off as a joke, but there was not even an attempt to do so. And as Looker pointed out, the posts were made within a time frame indicative of pre-planned reaction. If it was a genuine slip, Aaron would have, at the very least, taken the time to consult his mates before throwing in the towel.In post 537, Alchemist21 wrote:I don’t see why Aaron would intentionally slip instead of playing normally. It’s fine to not end the Day yet and talk things out but I’d rather lynch confscum before lynching someone else on a hunch.
No, but I believe it was perceived that way by he and the team, especially because Aaron is unconfident in his scum abilities. Taken that into account with the fact that you've shown to be of the mind that wagon building/opposition is a vital asset to town (or more directly that D1 scum lynches lose games), I think it's quite probable that you made the strategic decision to end any further associations that could be made from his lynch.In post 588, Chara wrote:was Frost's lynch definitely a foregone conclusion, enough for him to fake a slip?- Ame

I think Chara is a high-level scum player who thinks multiple steps ahead and is capable of slipping into the town mindset as if it were a sweater!In post 589, insomnia wrote:@Ame give me a sanity check on Chara when you come back here, please.
I think Chara felt safe posting this:
and was confident in the arguments against your clearing people because this,In post 476, Chara wrote:it's so strange how Frost being confirmed scum and insomnia's reaction to it has completely eroded the strong TR i had there.
would not have led to (town) victory. It's an opinion that comes from an informed mindset because as town there's nothing bad about your analyses or the outline you presented. From the perspective of being ignorant of alch, JTB, and profii's alignments the outline seemed to have a good chance of netting at least 1 scum, and if not that, then at least of sorting the players that are currently most likely to be so. Knowing that you did not have the scum team in that group, however, Chara failed to see its sensibleness and felt confident in criticizing your strategy.In post 457, insomnia wrote:Vigi shoot alch please, truuuuuust
Cop check JB / profii.
That’s it, speed lynch Aaron and set his soul free.- Ame

Chara I don't disbelieve you about the memory issues, but I can't see it pertaining to the scale of your 476. Insomnia's play post-slip was consistent with his play pre-slip. He had begun working on PoE and connections to Aaron a couple of pages before and the intensity of his game solving is consistent with his play throughout the game. You stated that you forgot that isomnia was the one who initiated the pressure on Aaron, but I had brought this to your attention a couple of times before, and you knew I was looking for your opinion on it, so I think it ought to have been especially salient in your mind:
In the first quote you even stated that you were giving weight to the Aaron push because of your insomnia TR.Spoiler:
Also (and this also goes into why I think you're a high-level player) there's a number of responses you've given throughout the game indicating that you've been paying attention on a level deep enough to recall particular information. For example, the examples you gave about Looker wearing her heart on her sleeve. And so I'm not sure I can take it that it had slipped that one of your strongest town reads was the one responsible for the Aaron push, especially when they spent a page or two going back and forth.- Ame

Ha a number of your posts have stricken me as coming from someone who thinks a step ahead and has a strong theory of mind. Some examples off the top of my head: your note on Looker's play, your interpretation of Egix here, your question to me here, and even the type of sarcasm used in your RVS vote (which btw I suspect was a way to lighten up the context of your v/la scumates read by putting it in the light of a joke).In post 599, Chara wrote:i'm thinking more about the assertion that i'm high-level and capable of putting myself into a town thought process.
i don't know how what's actually occurred in this game leads to that conclusion. town thought process, sure, though Ame's case also relies on me thennotdoing that and slipping into a scum thought process when deciding to discredit insomnia.
just... being called high-level scum has happened to me before. it's just normally it happens when we are in lategame and i've been a consensus TR for a while and players are wondering if i'm the deep scum.
it doesn't normally happen after the frankly embarrassing mess that was my calling insomnia scum.
Regarding you slipping into a scum thought process, even the most brilliant of scum players have to make a play at some point of the game, and that's where they show. In this case, I think looking ahead worked against you, but not because it was a mistake to call insomnia scum. If things had played out, and insomnia's plan was carried through, that 'mistake' would have turned in your favor. I think that perhaps you just may not have anticipated the response I would have.- Ame

Objectively awful is always a subjective opinion. Regardless, even if it wasn't intentional, there's no denying that he did not try to salvage the situation and thus likely doesn't have an essential PR. Also Aaron is definitely the shiny object here! If you deny the tantalizing temptation of lynching confscum, you'll increase the odds of winning significantly.- Ame

@Luca, think of it this way: Aaron is an informationless flip, Chara is an informative flip. Having an informative flip increases PR odds of netting scum because of the information it provides and because it reduces the pool of candidates. Why sort Chara out in the night when we can do it now and sort someone else out during the night. Additionally, I think it's likely the scum has already identified likely PRs, so by the time we get to N2 opportunity will likely be diminished.- Ame

I don't think so. All lynches essentially come down to what a person believes is for the good of the town. I think there's information to be gained here (I've picked up on some things already), but even so you overlooked the mechanical aspects of the strategy.In post 615, Luca Blight wrote:Because there is not enough evidence to warrant lynching Chara here?
While a scum flip would greatly improve our chances, they are statistically more likely to flip town, and any information gained from the wagon would be unreliable in the event of a townflip when it's being promoted as 'for the greater good of the town'. There would be no way of judging if scum had stayed off or hopped on, as it would be a consensus wagon with no competition.
Hahaha! It's Monty Hall in that the intuitive choice is the wrong choice.In post 616, Chara wrote:allow me to just... step into Luca's pocket here.
but really, this isn't exactly Monty Hall. it's more like picking a door, hearing a goat bleating on the other side of it, but then deciding you should pick one of the other doors instead.

Regarding Al, mainly @somni
While 153 is suspicious, I think it just has to do with the fact that Aaron is scum rather than it having to do with Al being his mate. Aaron has made points against you and profii in a similar vein. I don't think it's a statement he'd avoid making of a town member. Reading through Aaron and Alch's interactions, I don't think they are buddies. Aaron wouldn't have felt secure attacking your 56-57 for going after his buddy. You also mentioned that Al didn't address Aaron's 153, but I do think he actually picked up on the weirdness surrounding it because of the questions asked here and here. Al's explanation for his vote is consistent with his train of thought, and I don't think it is bussing because I asked Aaron about his town read of Alch a few posts after this, and he stuck with and further expanded on his town read. If they were in bus mode, this would have been the time for Aaron to have a change of heart.
Regarding Chara: all of the points I brought up are circumstantial and there's no solid evidence to suggest they're scum. Chara's tone has also been solidly towny throughout the game. Mac made a great point against Chara, but I also think it's circumstantial (based on profii scum).
Regarding profii: his interaction wiith Aaron doesn't come off to me as scum-scum. Particularly, their interaction regarding Aaron and RVS in iso 25 - 27. I'm not sure how to articulate it, but the way profii discusses Aaron comes off as someone ignorant of his alignment, particular the phrases "but like his answer was quite... generic?" and "Just figured I'd ask, nothing ventured nothing gained." The latter indicating that he wasn't looking for interaction points with Aaron. If he was, he would have just left it as is without this comment so anyone reviewing their interaction could see that he had some initial doubts about Aaron. This line completely voids that. The former line, in the context of the rest of the post, indicates that he wasn't really paying attention to his interaction with Aaron. It was just an offhand thing, not a scum motivated buddy callout.... Now, let's contrast this to Aaron's interactions with Egix and JTB.
JTB and Egix
Both of their play, along with Aaron's, is riddled with scum seeking interaction with each other. This can best be seen while reading through the thread in normal mode (non-iso) as the randomness of their engagements can better be seen against the context of the thread. However, I'll quote them here:
If you look at the rest of Aaron's play, he never asks random questions like these. His question here was made merely for the sake of having an interaction with JTB.In post 183, AaronFrost wrote:

I know you said you're not a fan of Day 1 (most people aren't) but it'd still be nice if you participated a little more and let us know what you're thinking.
Egix does the same thing with Aaron here:
Like Aaron (and as opposed to someone like Looker), Egix also has shown a disinclination toward inquiring about reads.In post 195, Egix96 wrote:
Imagine for a moment that profii is someone you've never played a game with before - what do you think of him now?In post 184, AaronFrost wrote:I kind of agree with you on profii.

They continue the farce when Aaron asks about profii town reads:
Also notice the trend in topic here. All three of them have a hard one for profii. Why? Because it was their target for the day. It's why Aaron danced around it so much. Their plan was to ML profii and have Egix rake in some town points. You can see the beginnings of this here with JTB's post:In post 276, AaronFrost wrote:
Are you townreading him regardless of the fact that his push has had no resistance? Like what are your thoughts on his posting right now?In post 247, Egix96 wrote:
I am, and it's for something similar to what you've pointed out here - I think that he's been under too much suspicion for too little reasoning (or, to put it another way, I see people voting him but I don't find the reasoning to be all that compelling). I would be very surprised if he flipped red.In post 217, AaronFrost wrote:One thing I find interesting about this wagon is that no one has really jumped to profii's defense. Most people seem to have him as a scumread and/or are voting him right now. Is anybody townreading him right now? If so why?
I'm not sure what the term used for this is, but on my site we used to call it 'webbing,' wherein a player artificially ties a town member to their scum mate so that if the scum mate flips, the town member will look bad, and if the town member flips, the partner can then abandon the scum read on their mate. In this case, JTB was pushing for profii-Egix so that he could scumread his mate without actually having to use any evidence other than his tie with profii.In post 157, JTheophrastus Bartholomew wrote:People seem to have reads on Profii already. I don't like how Egix96 implied a town read on profii in post 68 and threw shade at those voting him. I think there's a strong chance that if one of profii and Egix96 flip scum, the other one will too
More evidence to this is the fact that Egix's profii read was entirely unwarranted:
Not only because it was supposedly only based on the fact that there was no opposition to profii's wagon, but this too! General town vibes? GENERAL TOWN VIBES!?!?!?In the game of mafia, ignorance is a virtue, and ignorant Egix is not.Again, the goal was to rake in the town points upon a profii town flip. That's why Egix leaned into it so hard, despite there being no evidence for it.
One more point on Egix: He seems to think that Looker was target hunting for her PR or establishing a hypocop or something? Yet he brought attention to this in the most overt anti-town way possible. He attempted to make it look like he was protecting town secrets, but if he were genuinely doing so, the best thing to do would have to not say anything at all.- Ame
