I'm seeing some BTS solving here. There's a pretty good chance you're town.
Why do you think Marci is town?-

Normal modifier and normal town role, the mod's just getting a little wacky with the set up. There could be other explanations besides Pooky making meme roles, but it might be anti-town to discuss that right now. I just believe that Ausuka is being honest and is town.-

Sometimes people say a lot when they say nothing. Shoshin was voting in response to things happening in the game, just because they didn't explain their thought process yet doesn't mean you can't see the gears turning. I town read them exactly because you can tell Shoshin was trying to solve without having to make a show of it.In post 149, Datisi wrote:suspicious of roden because the early townread of shoshin for "solving behind the scenes" seems (1) kinda awkwardly explained, (2) seems like tmi? like, i'm a bit skeptical that he saw two basically naked votes and decided there's some townie solving happening there
I think if scum wants to fake a trajectory, they want to make it clear what they're trying to lead to with their reads. Blank votes seem counter-intuitive to that, so unless it's within a player's meta, I think scum tends to avoid doing that.-

Shoshin first voted Scamper for shading Marci, so voting me for doing the same makes sense as a thought process. I can see him grouping all the people attacking his town read (Marci) and thinking scum were coordinating an attack there. Plus as STD claimed, we share a hood, so me voting him before either of us interacted with each other is additional reason to want to vote me at the time. But I guess you couldn't know this since the hood hadn't been claimed yet, it was factoring into my read on him though.In post 159, Datisi wrote:

As an added note to the people who asked, no I didn't town read him for making blank votes. I town read him for the context behind the votes, since I could see the trajectory for them and didn't think it was a faked trajectory.-

We have two 0 posters so far and Lemons is one of them. I suppose they haven't posted there either?
Chaos is a naturally bad thing for town. Sustained chaos is how you end up with trains on 6 different people with 24 hours left in the day, town almost certainly getting voted off, and weak information to go off of that voteoff because there were so many trains.In post 289, scamper wrote:hood reveal is interesting, i dont have a problem with std outing it since theres probably scum in a 4 person hood but i kind of wish he'd waited a bit longer so that we could have reads from people on the players in the hood + lemons could have posted
cuz right now my immediate thought is the lemons slot is probably scum but we learn basically nothing from it now if thats true
I had asked STD if we should and he just said yeah if activity didn't pick up soon. Pretty much nothing was happening in the hood so I didn't disagree. I don't think we could've utilized it much if we kept it a secret tbh, the only thing about it that matters to me is the mech info. Plus if there's a Traffic Analyst around they won't have to worry about false guilties now.In post 290, Crescent wrote:With that I do agree. Revealing hood with a 0 poster inside was odd.

What happened to your Datisi read? I kinda have an idea but I'm curious if I'm right.
I think you're doing fine, you don't seem particularly lost.In post 258, Shoshin wrote:Hey Roden, I'd like your insight onto the game. I'm feeling lost.
I don't have much insight on the game, I guess what's bothering me at this point is that I don't have any major scum reads. Marci and Alex have earned a raised eyebrow at points, but they'll occasionally post something that makes me think "oh that's a townie response actually". More so Marci, I don't know Alex so idk what to expect from them as town. In contrast, I've played with Marci a few times now and managed to lock in her alignment pretty quickly in past games, so I feel confident that if she is town then I'll be able to figure it out soon enough.-

This is one if the reasons I town read Datisi. Not because of the self-meta here but because I've seen scum!Datisi a couple times now and this isn't it. If you don't have much of an opinion on him then he's very likely town; he's generally high activity as scum and working hard to make people want to keep him around and empathize with him.In post 420, Datisi wrote:@shoshin, we don't use the l-word on this site anymore, and i haven't gotten to this game yet. i don't lurk to "avoid posting content" or whatever else because i am more than good enough at scum to know what to post.-

I gave my opinion on Marci in the hood. I scum read her, but I think if she actually is scum here then it's been a weird play on her end. Like, someone mentioned that her play doesn't make sense regardless of alignment, and I heavily agree with that. I could theorize that maybe she's scum and trying to distance/create fake associatives/anti-spew, but she was at zero votes when suspicion started piling on her. So why do that? Especially when earlier in the Day she got run up to E-2 and then had her wagon disintegrate with barely any effort? I don't understand why scum would intentionally play weird and get themself run up twice within like three days.
Though I do think it was weird that she was at E-2 then dropped to zero votes so quickly the first time. I don't think she did anything super townie that would have killed her wagon like that.-

I think this is an interesting read
My first thought here is just like, she seems to struggle with scumplay a bit? So I'm more inclined to think she's scum here rather than too-scummy-to-be-scum.
Also she said she tends to be more bitchy as scum? I'm not 100% sure whether or not that applies here and I think it's hard to evaluate without being Potentially Rude
Yeah okay I’m on board now
UNVOTE: Johnny

It's interesting though, it's mostly the same people voting her again. Just swap out Bella with Alex for the second time.-

I'm not saying her second wagon isn't justified, I'm saying nothing about her play this game has changed. I think it's weird that scum would do something that got them scum read, escape the wagon, then continue to act the exact same way and get themself run up again.In post 870, Ausuka wrote:Firstly, I'd disagree that she didn't do anything to justify her second wagon - the way she handled that interaction with datisi was god awful
Secondly, the 'momentum' between Marci and Alex seems to be just me and Datisi. I think I've explained the reasoning in my votes at the very least. I don't think the wagons were large enough for this analysis to be particularly meaningful.
Bella, Scamper, and Alex have also voted Marci. Though Alex only voted Marci because he decided to sheep you around the time her wagon regained momentum, before that he was town reading her.

my approach this game is to just say what im thinking when im thinking. i think ive done enough of that early on.
now that the game is kicked off, my intention is to go afk (which work partly helps with). the reason i want to go afk is because i dont trust my opinions when im a loud voice in the town. so i sort of want to fade out, let someone else take spotlights and then read it all after and see if i have any better conclusions then. possibly gonna mess around and hard defend someone depending on how my read on said person is.

I don't think she's gotten any scummier honestly. She got wagon'd the first time around because of her interactions with Crescent, where she was weirdly hyper critical of her and shading her intentions. She got wagon'd again for criticizing and shading Datisi, just this time she admitted she didn't know what she was even arguing about. She's been doing the same thing all game and it's been a major reason why I keep going back and forth between thinking she's scummy and then going "ok that was kinda townie".-

I do see your point, and since I town read you and Datisi I feel like your takes have some weight and that's something I'm taking into account
Occam's Razor says Marci's probably just scum here and that she's being confusing on purpose to try to go for "too scummy to be scummy"
Gut says that I'm missing info that would explain her actions-

Corwin mentioned in the hood that they're separating themself from the game for a bit, partially because of Crescent but also because IRL stuff happened apparently.
They're also accusing Crescent of playing the complete opposite as she did when she was town in the Mini that got brought up. So uh, basically a "no u" argument.-

I never expect all three scum to be found Day 1. The reality is that there's usually a deep wolf when a Day 1 scum elim happens. And if Corwin actually flips town then it's just as likely we have a deep wolf or even two.
My final solve has one of Alex or Marci, but it's very unlikely they're both scum here.-

Also it might be worth checking if he said all that stuff about her read in the hood chat before or after mini 2273 ended because I think the timing of that can be relevant.-

I'd actually be in favor of simple vs complexity tags. Is there a way to suggest something like that for the queue?
I'm trying to think of a possible negative, and I guess it would cut down on possible role claim gambits and fake claims. Like, if a game was simple, no one's believing an Ascetic Miller Even Night Mailman claim. On the other hand, a default Tracker would be unbelievable in complex games.
Maybe we could also give "unknown" as a complexity tag option so that players can enter a game with no expectations as well.
