I'm not voting fykus, RC or grey. Anyone else is fair game. Anyone with different reads is free to strike up a conversation, instead of being extremely sure in their own reads and not letting anyone influence them. It can only serve to improve your reads.

TS what do you think of Jack? I don't think mimicking people is very town like even if it is the first game a person has played and that's what he's been doing a lot.

Sorry if you mentioned how you feel before, a lot of things happened in the thread and it's hard to sift through

Sorry for suffering a concussion, grey! I will take into consideration that I will not be able to play on MS next time I feel like suffering one!

In post 49, JackChaos wrote:I have no idea how to go about this so, Formerfish seems pretty aggressive but I don't think aggressiveness in a game (at least with newbs) would imply he's scum. I think it would be someone playing it cool so... MooginSoosy seems pretty cool right now diverting attention away from him.

(how's that?)

Real talk: I have brain damage and I'm just trying to learn how to play. I'm sorry if I suck at it or if I'm ruining your reads by trying to fit in. I've barely played mafia.
moogin, thanks for asking my read on jack. Led me to a reread.

At first, he seems to do things so we can see how he's doing stuff instead of him wanting to do stuff. He is also very apologetic. All fits with scum.

Afterwards, he jokingly switches to being serious and then tunnelling RC/grey. He also seems not to care about his own death anymore.

The latter thing is the only thing that gives me pause. Why would scum not care about their own death?

One explanation I have is that he's not invested enough in the game, which is apparent from everything. So I guess he is my biggest scumread.

However, I have seen very little from him and am therefore reaching out to him in 749, I hope I get a response.

Those quotes were examples of him showing he's doing stuff and his apologies. Forgot I quoted em.

VOTE: jackchaos

Rereads on moogin, fykus and pep are also in order.

He was scumreading Toto/RC because it was the in thing to do.

I came in like a wrecking ball scumreading him and spooked him.

Fykus is trying very hard and is all over the place yet feels what he is doing is very right which is something I associate with town.

His thought progression makes sense. He makes his own thoughts and accusations and stands by them even if no one else will. His early claim also reads town. He's not keeping his cards to his chest at all.

We don't lynch fykus at all.

Fykus I hope you're willing to reconsider your read on me and willing to talk to me.

So I've got 3 decent townreads now in fykus, RC and moogin. Don't feel like lynching grey, fish or ny (I think). Leaves pep and jack for lynching today, with preference to the latter.

Jack you have limited to come in here and talk to me before I push your lynch through.

I laid out my reasoning before. Why would I take issue with him scumreading strong players? It's far easier to scumread weak players as scum.

RC townread is based on toto, who I thought was town. Haven't seen anything to change my mind.

Pep being honest in 762 makes me lean town on him. It's easy to cast shade on my town play but he pointed out that my abrasiveness indicated town (which is his experience).

That said, I've also been abrasive as scum (don't think he was in that game) so that in itself is not a reason to townread me.
