i will say, i am less stoic on Ydrasse's slot being town than i was 50 pages ago, partially because Ydrasse's play hasn't made me feel anything and partially because of very lightly BoPing mandate

like if im honest i feel less strongly about dunn maybe scum than i was a few hours ago because i was just very annoyed by it happening and i think the logic of killing someone because we will never spare them despite us not /entirely/ being locked into sparing is jarring. i guess because its the assumption of sparing? maybe im reading it too uncharitably and dunn was talking about the potential sparing world but it didnt feel like that to me and im afraid of a game where we go to the spare route and dunn is a wolf and suddenly the room for error is zero because it is a lot less fun to solve at that point
it's so weird that i replace mandate and now everyone's suddenly like oh... well maybe not town...
like in a frustrating way because this is me like ... trying my best to solve
and i feel like i am being seen as a lesser player lol

meuh has 5th most posts in the game, she wasn't being arbitrarily limmed for inactivity
I've said for a while that Ari's slot is in my PoE
I am potentially willing to buy the townslip just because I don't really think scum ali would be especially likely to fake it. Not because of not being capable just because of like, idk why e would

sorry that's just been cropping up in my head over the last few hours and after the flip i guess i feel more like. vulnerable. idk. wasteful? of someone's hard effort and seeing it from more than 1 person immediately eroded Me

sakura is probably the easiest player in the playerlist to read and she's p townie so far

I think Ari summarized it very well in those posts. I'm bringing her since she's your pre-predecessor and you know her alignment.
If you ask me, all i can say is that i dont have any confidence in explaining anything this game, not even myself, been lost for the majority of it and a lot have been gut pings.
Also you should know that im currently busy IRL, and so i only read and post in bursts.
I like this. I’m inclined to trust aristeia’s take.

Agreed, but I’d probably look into Shirou/key, then the others that I haven’t read posts from yet, then Ydrasse. Idk if you have deeper suspicion you’re basing the Ydrasse read on.

That wasn’t really directed at the votes on meuh, just the slots that saw meuh flip and went “well…scum is probably just not playing then” because what kind of logic leap is that when you have a whole wagon that just flipped a townie.

I’m also in a particularly interesting position knowing my own slots alignment. So on my rep in I read the page or two before, saw meuh was flipped as town. Saw Shirou immediately go, well since RM isn’t playing that’s a good next vote and thought wow that’s a really Wolfy post to make.
Given the context, even without knowing my alignment it’s just not good.

So the way I was reading mandate in the first errr 8 pages or so was like I was in newbie queue with a playerlist that wants to take a serious approach to mafia, which I do like in general. But from the perspective of an SE so I have a checklist of things I suggest new players look for when hunting alignments and mandate kind of hit the checklist for me.
Idk what kind of impact Ydrasse has or hasn’t made on the game yet so I’m, at least somewhat curious what the deeper context is.
is town and is getting flipped regardless, dont worry about it
