Greeting has the worst non RVS vote up to this point.
I don’t know the playing style of people in this forum. However, if I did and played a game with them, attempting to get a read on their alignment would be my first move. Dew, if I’m not mistaken, is a newbie, like me. It seems odd that Titus went after them before checking out the rest of the semi-experienced players. Interestingly enough, Dew has two votes as of now, and Titus moved their vote for someone else. Way to draw attention to a random player and go back into the shadow.
My vote stays where it is, unless something convinces me otherwise.

I can smell the desperation of Dorsey to get the attention off himself. I always find this suspicious in mafia games.
What I'm about to say is obvious to (I think) everyone but I want to show my train of thought. The goal of town is to remove all of the mafia. The goal of the mafia is to remove enough townies so that their number equates to that of townies. Since the numbers of mafia are far smaller than that of town, the loss of each mafia goon is, especially at the very beginning of the game, is a bigger blow to the mafia than a loss of a townie being a blow to the town team. In case of this game, from what I've gathered, we have a 2 mafia-7 townies setup. The mafia reallycannotallow themselves to throw any of those two under the bus, especially in the earliest stage of the game.
That being said, I shall change my vote and VOTE: Dorsey.

In most mafia games I've played, nobody had anything on Day One. I don't believe one can get a strong and very credible read unless they know the other players gaming style really well. Since Titus is apparently an older member and Dew a newer member, it struck me as odd that they tried to get a read over something like that. sure, it was RVS, but the mafia participate in that as well. And their votes will not be so random.In post 107, RCEnigma wrote:
Well considering the vote on Titus followed after your rvs vote I'd make the assumption your read on Titus is semi-serious. If that's the case there is a lack of critical thinking (that may be the wrong phrase and it may be a lack of articulation).In post 57, Greeting wrote:

What about Titus pointing out inconsistent voting is scummy? What does it imply about Dorsey's alignment?
Dorsey so far occupies one of the top spots in the tally and is in the spotlight. When re-reading the thread, their posts started to pique my interest somewhere around page 3.RCEnigma wrote:

In post 153, TL The Legend wrote:So thoughts so far:
Greeting's comment is really weird when they're only at e-2, and no one else seems too willing to vote them. Post 143 seems like a classic scum tactic, that being the whole "i'm town, vote me and you'll regret it" thing. Their posts are all weird and I feel like at best, they're bad town.
Dorsey still feels weird to me but idk.
UhUh's posts are all just nonsensical to me. I can't figure out what the hell he's trying to say.
Everyone else seems town-ish, so I'm thinking scum has to be two of these three.
In light of this, I'm changing my vote to VOTE: GreetingIn post 154, TL The Legend wrote:And yes, I'm putting them at e-1. If you wanna hammer them, go ahead; they're more than likely scum anyway.

Sounds like you have read none of my posts.In post 209, TL The Legend wrote:going afk until Monday so might as well share my thoughts now.
In hindsight maybe that comment at e-1 wasn't good, but i wanted to get the obvious scum out and I was saying that you shouldn't be afraid to hammer them because they're probably scum. I don't understand how voting a scumread automatically makes me scum though.
Have you not been reading or what? You've contributed basically nothing up to this point, your posts are really filler-y, and in general you act really scummy imo. the "bad town" part is saying even if you're town, you're not helping town out, and are actually harming us by leading us to vote a townie out.Greeting wrote:Would you mind explaining how am I "bad town"?
ok i'll expand on this on Monday but that's all for now. hopefully i don't die by then.
This isn’t satisfactory. VOTE: TL The Legend- Greeting

But you not claiming + implying death = is most likely a VT claim / basic scum claim.
I wouldn't be to upset for this wagon.
I am not about to be voted out at this moment. And I don't think I should claim my role.

Oh, so the other way around. It would make sense with me being on the chopping block, but the situation at the moment is that there's two votes on me and TL is one vote away from being voted out.In post 235, RCEnigma wrote:209 is very heavy handed for a slot either loosely involved in the game to this point or behind the rest of the town. Strong wording like "obvious scum" etc doesn't line up for a slot that hasn't put an effort into sorting any other slots and they aren't doing much to make themselves look townier either.
But it does look townie if they happen to go hard on a slot flipping scum. There is the chance you (greeting) are town here but then what's the point of TL hyperfocusing on your elim if it just trades 1 town for 1 scum D2. It's not an even trade for scum.
I'm still witholding my full thoughts on the current situation, but what I can say is that I think TL's behaviour with voting me out is opportunistic, given the fact that they made little to no contributions to the game earlier. They saw a chance to vote a townie out with ease and took it. That doesn't make him look very clean in my eyes.- Greeting

That’s not a compromise. It would be a compromise if you voted for TL. You voted for a second option (me) which had two votes until now. That is really scummy behaviour.

So by saying this are you implying that you will be bussed because you know that TL is scum? If you do then how and why are you not voting to eliminate them?
If that’s not what you’re implying then why make this post so early when at the moment you’re not in danger of being voted out?

You haven’t really left any hard clues as to whom you think is mafia. Someone before had characterised your playstyle as defensive, a statement I can agree with. Voting out a townie, as a principle, is not beneficial for town. TL did say that they strongly believe me being scum for some vaguely specified reason. If they’re town, they apparently are willing to sacrifice themselves to make their point. So, assuming that TL is scum and you are voted out Day Two, being town, what benefit would it bring?In post 310, Dorsey wrote:I answered your possibility with a possibility - I'm comfortable with the risk- Greeting

That is correct, the nolongersupersecret info I may or may not have heard led me to deduce there is a Jailkeeper in the game.In post 449, Titus wrote:
You did not. You shouldn't out (although it's totally legal) if someone doesn't ask. I asked you to out because your knowledge of a jailkeeper would have meant you were the jk or scum otherwise.In post 447, Greeting wrote:

Ehh. I didn't want to be too explicit with it in order to not have you killed. But since you're asking directly,Titus wrote:

But mafia no kill is surely very rare.
Nonetheless, TL/HockeyFan flipping town is disappointing, but their death may give us something to work on.a friendly bird told me that Titus is town.
wtf is this?

My apologies for inactivity, the last week tired me out. I needed some time to rest. Here are my thoughts.
First, some replies:
That is not a good idea. If I didn’t know for a fact that you’re town, I’d be chasing you down for it.In post 454, Titus wrote:I do think the jailkeeper outing themselves and who they jailed is a good move but people may disagree.
I can relate to this post. I use statistics only as aid, although I strongly prefer harder evidence such as votes.In post 485, UhUhWaitAndSee wrote:I think you have to accept this as my playstyle. You refer to it as active lurking - I don't think so, but either way its just a playstyle. I like to rely on hard game mechanics, especially with PR info. I have a penchant for statistics: have a look at https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=83092. On d1 scum is only eliminated +0.9% to random (town is lynched 4.7% less than random, the balance is no eliminations). All the other days, it's a lot more favored to eliminating scum than random. Why? Power roles and working out the mechanics. And working out how those mechanics relate to posts made on d1 - even though what is worked out on d1 might be tenuous.
Think of it like the way you or GrandpaMo play, which I find inherently suspicious (I've talked about this earlier). But I don't have a meta to compare it with, so I am hesitant to scum read it. If there are posts that relate to the developing mechanics that I can link back, then I can say that you are more likely to be town or more scum. Hence the emphasis on figuring out the mechanics in the first place.
I also agree with this post. I will elaborate below in the reads section.In post 491, AlwaysNever wrote:
I've said it before in post 138. I still think the same. Because I know that these thoughts are colored by my own biases, I took the liberty of reading your previous game (2075) and of course I see that you are the same there.In post 470, Dorsey wrote:Always - We're not at D1 again, we have a flip. Also, there's nothing to "excuse" about my play - what are your issues with it?
If anything, most of your play have been individualistic, or at least against the flow of the game at that point, but does that make you scum? No.... maybe? On 2075, you did the same thing, going against the flow, but you correctly read who's scum, while still keeping the same tone. It makes me uneasy, cause then what would've happened if you are scum?
This uneasiness is why I said it's getting hard to excuse your play, cause considering you as town goes against my instinct, but I have to anyway, and this conflicting feeling grows ever more as the game progress. So each time you act just slightly scummy in my eyes, I would put you in my to-vote list/scumlean, even though logically you are about as town as me at this point
Basically, when it comes to you, my reads goes like this and it makes me uneasy
TL;DR I can't see you as town cause I got issues and I need to get over it
Second, some conclusions:
Since we know that there is a Town Friendly Neighbor andsomerole that blocked N1 kill, the only logical conclusion is that the setup of this game is B2. It is very highly unlikely that a mafia team would block their own kill as there is virtually no good reason for them to do so. Therefore, the town power roles are Jailkeeper and Town Friendly Neighbor and the mafia power role would be Rolecop.
Titus is confirmed town and obviously I won’t consider myself.
That leaves us with the following players, among whom 2 are mafia members:
Dorsey
UhUhWaitAndSee
kennyk
AlwaysNever
GrandpaMo
RCEnigma
@RCEnigma has a rather aggressive playing style and is bold with pushing claims. His assumptions regarding pairings are far-fetched which I think could be a curse of experienced players. I don’t think this is the type of conclusion you can make so early in the game and push with such certainty. I think RCE is most likely a cocky townie.
@kennyk - his predecessor gave us really nothing, so I focused only on kennyk's posts. I can see independent thinking (as in #494, #512) which I always consider to be more indicative of town rather than scum. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and leave him be. Also, tbf my meta might be far-fetched but an abandoned slot seems to correlate with a vanilla townie (I disregarded that Day One and it was a mistake).
To be fair, I think the two mafia members are somewhere in this pool:
@UhUhWaitAndSee - just wanted to ask. What happened to your reads in #291? TL is gone, which leaves me and kennyk as leaning scum in your eyes. Has anything changed? I like post #485 quoted above and the fact that we share an opinion (with AlwaysNever) about Dorsey.
@AlwaysNever has a rather chill and distanced playing style. They seem to be walking your own path all times. Although it’s not fully alignment-indicative, I find players with such a playing style more likely to be town than scum.
@GrandpaMo is really messy. Honestly, just reading their posts gives me a headache. It’s hard to make sense of them. I would say that they are hiding in plain sight in a bold and messy style. It’s a strategy I had used before in mafia games when I rolled scum and managed to pull it off more than once, so I know it can be done. Sometimes I think I could imagine him spinning the wheel to pick the mood to express in their next post in the game.
@Dorsey is one player I simply cannot stop finding suspicious. I don’t know if it’s just their playing style, which is making short posts which seem to contribute to the game but on the other hand aren’t bold enough to assume any responsibility for a mislynch. It gives off a vibe of someone who is participating… but not really. Like, I don’t sense any type of conviction about anyone or risk-taking. If we were at lylo, I’d perfectly understand. But our situation is not bad and we canstillafford to be a bit risky.
Grandpa and Dorsey are the two that give me the most errrr feeling. VOTE: Dorsey- Greeting

These are the most non-read reads I’ve ever seen in a mafia game.In post 542, AlwaysNever wrote:
since you asked nicely....In post 541, RCEnigma wrote:besides greeting and titus, I want everyones next post to be a readslist. please thank you.
Titus -Locktown
duh
Greeting -Townlean*
I can't say much regarding them, but if certain other players flip in the color I didn't expect, or even roles I didn't expect, Greeting are instant scumlean to me. That is all I can say
Dorsey -Null
I have said what I've said about Dorsey, putting him on null cause I still feel conflicted. I would say though, Uhuh and them are not aligned, I was thinking that they might be aligned with one of my other null reads but so far they've successfully acted in a way that led me to believe that they have no association with anyone, if anything the closest association people might give is me and them (RCE has made note of this in day 1) or titus and them, but Titus is confirmed town.
RCE -Null
Dropped out of the townlean for now, since they pivoted to me for reasons I still can't understand (and taking what I never considered tracking softs seriously), but he might just be misunderstanding me. Still, he's going for a low hanging fruit like Kenny doesn't sit right with me, when there's Uhuh as well but he didn't consider him?
Kennyk -Null
His slot previously, I've considered to be safe town if not null, but reading on his own posts, I would have to put him back to null for now because I don't find it as compelling to my emotion as Dew's was, but just for now.
Gpa -Null....?
Gpa is confusing. Is he an aggressive town scumhunting the heck out of everybody? Is he scum trying to look like he's scumhunting so that's why he's aggressive? It seems like reading on some other games that this is what he usually plays, but he can really be the one I'm voting today, if not for...
Uhuh -Scumlean
I am scared to vote for Uhuh, if only because Dorsey's adamant refusal to let him off the hook with his distant-style posts are starting to grow on me, and I don't like it when Dorsey's words started to make sense. Kinda felt like I was being manipulated into it, but they're right. Uhuh has been coasting, even his defense of him being more interested in mechanic doesn't really sit well with me, because he doesn't talk about it that much, imo. Reading their posts feels like reading a wolf watching for a town to make a mistake and jump on their hapless back.
TL;DR
I can get behind Uhuh or Gpa's wagon today, but Uhuh is priority
VOTE: UhuhWaitAndSee
well, since I've voted, I might just ask you guys some question cause that might generate content that I'm interested in seeing. If you guys have 2 people on your to-vote list today, which of them would you think is the possible rolecop?- Greeting

Dorsey's reads feel more like replies than actual reads.In post 560, UhUhWaitAndSee wrote:Came upon me that you seem to ask for a lot of reads but don't seem to discuss them. My suspicions seem to be confirmed with a quick scan of the iso.
A lot of questions, not much analysis. A good way to gain towncred without really helping town.
AlwaysNever's reads don't give too much to analyse.
I somewhat agree with your reads.- Greeting

Okay, so I'm basing off my reads list which excludes Titus, myself, RCEnigma and kennyk as either town or the least suspicious.
We have: AlwaysNever, UhUhWaitAndSee, Dorsey and GrandpaMo.
(as of this moment)
Green = confirmed town
Bold and underlined = Last counted vote as of the end of Day or the moment of creating this post
On Day One AlwaysNever voted:Titus,myself, GrandpaMo,.No vote
On Day Two AlwaysNever voted: UhUhWaitAndSee.
On Day One UhUhWaitAndSee voted:.Dew/kennyk
On Day Two UhUhWaitAndSee voted:.Dorsey
On Day One Dorsey voted: UhUhWaitAndSee,A to Z/TL The Legend/HockeyFan,myself,.A to Z/TL The Legend/HockeyFan
On Day Two Dorsey voted:.UhUhWaitAndSee
On Day One GrandpaMo voted:myself,.TL The Legend/HockeyFan
On Day Two GrandpaMo voted:.kennyk
Dorsey and UhUhWaitAndSee can't both be scum. To me it seems quite clear that they both want to eliminate one another.
AlwaysNever is inconspicuous. They're pretty chill and clearly know that this is just a game (no shade ) but my gut feeling says that they could go on and try bussing a fellow scum on Day Two. The final no vote on Day One and the reads list with few stances are all kinda sus.
If not Dorsey, I could switch to AlwaysNever or GrandpaMo. UhUh's last posts are giving me a townlean. Not saying that he isn't a potential suspect, but I think that the other three should be given more priority.- Greeting

Yes.In post 633, GrandpaMo wrote:hm wait., this is interesting.
why dod you scumread me, do u think i would hammer my teammate?
You guys seem to believe that the voting tally is the absolute key to solving the game. This logic, although classic mafia strategies support it, has a major flaw - there is two other than UhUh players who voted Dorsey and only onecanbe scum per game mechanics.
I can see that some of you (RCE, AlwaysNever) believe that the game is solved, but if you’re wrong about kennyk (you clearly are wrong about me) then we lose 4 townies during the course of this Day, the following one and two Night Phases.
I’m not going to fight against myself being voted out - if that leads town to victory then so be it.
I saw Dorsey’s claim before I went to sleep and I just simply didn’t believe him. That’s all.- Greeting
