As I catch up I have a solid town core of {lenora, nepenthe, Maduisha, Clidd} (not necessarily in that order) and a fairly significant scumread on Umlaut.
VOTE: Umlaut
Here's what gut-pinged me in the Umlaut ISO.... it's giving me feelings of "annoyed that the pool is shrinking" from him. (BORKTELL!!!!) Feels like there's pushback on anything that could at all softclear a player on day one. For example, a player having great posts then not posting for a bit doesn't change the contents of those initial posts?

Clidd, I don't think we have played together before? Your post 220 is literally something I could have done and posted myself in a vacuum. It's rare to find people who use meta this way, other than myself and sometimes fferyllt.
It feels so incredibly self-indulging but I kind of want you to apply your technique to me just to see what it feels like from the other side! But only if you actually feel the need to. Don't waste your time if you've gotten a read on me in other forms.

Woo, instant engagement! Best way to replace in, 11/10 so fluffy heckin cute puppers.

It's not that Bork didn't go along with the shrinkage (In this case, his preferred mislim Ben claiming friendly neighbor upon the near completion of the wagon to elim day two), it's that he felt annoyed at having to, if that makes any sense? It's the first thing that stood out to me upon catching up these past ten pages, so here we are! I suppose "fairly significant" is a misnomer, a better phrasing would have been "The most significant" but one cannot edit their own posts so let smerps be smerps.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

It's more accurate to say I just don't care that people reacted poorly to Zulfy doing the same. I laid out the reasons WHY I am keeping things closer to my chest, it's up to you to decide if you feel they're legitimate or not. I had committed myself to both playing things tighter and keeping my posting more limited this game the second I sent the replace-in PM to the game's mod. I appreciate the attempt to engage, though. I am trying to emboy one of my cabd-isms: "Be the change you want to see in theIn post 296, Maduisha wrote:Ben has already been annoyed that you don't want to share how you got those reads. If I understood correctly, you're caught up with the game, right? If so, you would know people reacted poorly to Zulfy concealing read related information with no explanation given, yet you're doing it too. Why is that? Do you want to see if you gather the same reaction as him?worldsite meta.
I guess my counter question is why do you think I WOULD care about doing something that got Zulfy attention?

This is an interesting characterization. Koba has the most posts of any poster in the game PERIOD. You actually have the least besides myself, who just replaced in, and Chumbo, who replaced out super early:In post 303, TheFuzzylogic99 wrote:Not sure who mentioned my DK read. I stand by it.

The answer I expected, but consider it a challenge from a play style comrade, to see if you get to the right spot on me in the end. (Assuming you're in a slot that genuinely has to, obviously!) My custom title on this account is due to the way I used to play before I had a hiatus from the site- I had a digital binder fuill of play style tells for every active player on the site, and was watching literally every single ongoing game on the site at once, using free time and my extreme speed-read ability. Now I have a job, wife, and kid..... so that just can't happen as fast. My limit is playing two games at once, and following 3-5 non-me games at most.In post 312, clidd wrote:

And I'm afraid I can't apply my method to you, considering that tells evaluation between games is something that you most likely know how it works (and should know how to counter as scum). I can, however, draw parallels of behavior by mirroring and contextualize the way you approach the game in both alignments but, again, you are aware of this process and probably know how to manipulate your meta, so I am waiting to see what you'll show here per play.
Indeed. It should be taken as NAI as I can cite several games of both alignments I have personally done so over my 7+ year tenure on this site, not even counting the years before that on my old home site.In post 312, clidd wrote:
Hum, I believe that the context of the game you mentioned was quite different in size, playerlist and setup, so I'm not sure if it would make much sense for you to approach the current game with this kind of mentality (because the context here is quite different, especially the pace of the gamestate) and, particularly, the instance of saving/not showing reads is also something I've seen scum using to simulate a towny approach (as scum!FL did in the past game with me), but I'll consider it NAI until I see if you'll get some spicy take using this approach or not.Spoiler: Tangent
That said, and this might be TMI so let's call it tangent part the third:

The simplest answer here is that it wasn't particularly deliberate, I just didn't care what Zulfy's reaction was or was not, this action was preordained.In post 302, Maduisha wrote:
I don't know, and that's why I wanted to find out. The only conclusions I can reach in the hypothetical case thatIn post 300, Cabd wrote:I guess my counter question is why do you think I WOULD care about doing something that got Zulfy attention?it wasdeliberate would be that you want to test out whether the reactions towards Zulfy were genuine from the people that reacted like that (if they don't when seeing the same thing a second time, it could mean they didn't care as much about it and more about shading Zulfy) which could be more townsided, or that you want to detract attention from the 2 ongoing wagons, which could be more scumsided.
We can keep chasing this car for a while, but there's nothing to do even if we catch it, let's move on, unless you have other lines of questioning about it?Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

You're not that far off, regarding starting points. Umlaut is a gutping, and then I went back through the ISO to try and quantify what exactly was setting off the subtle alarm bells, in the hopes of feeling out other's reactions to the same points once highlighted and given daylight.In post 310, clidd wrote:start from the conclusion "Umlaut is scum"
I don't have a particular rock-townread that i can use to bounce thoughts off of, so "at large to the ether" is the next best thing.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

Which means here we DON'T want anyone counterclaiming, it is possible that there are overlapping roles, given how the NPOM game went down.
This "no one counterclaim" is doing nothing to lower my suspicions of a possible Cabd-Fuzzy team :/ (depending on whether Fuzzy's claim turns out more-or-less confirmed in the long run)Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household

Yeah I'm off work but I have an 18 month old here, and the other mafia scummer in this household (The wife, that is) is off to attend Ceramic Studio time, so I'm on kiddo watching duty.

I have to remind myself that not everyone reads into the ether the same way...
I'm getting at, I don't think Fuzzy's role is compatible with my own, in a queue that explicitly forbids godfather as a role type.
I was hoping to not play this way but the thought of knowingly voting wrong and letting it get away just to potentially mislim sucks and is for people with stronger stomachs than I.
If fuzzy is town, then town has the potential to have two guilties or clears going into day two. And I am VERY wary of having that much investigative power in a 9P setup.I am a JOAT with investigative and self-protective abilities.Currently in COVID hell, population: Entire Household
