eddie i don't think you're scum but that doesn't mean i think all your reads are right. old man is all in on whiteknighting you, making your opinion of him pretty much the least consequential of anyone. don't take these things personally, difference of opinion in a mafia game should never be seen as "a slap in the face."
if i have to read one more seventeen sentence paragraph on the minutia of what constitutes a newbie under what circumstances i'm going to lose my marbles. from my understanding geriatric games are meant to free us from the shackles of overactive games that the average player couldn't keep up with. writing a novella every time you post causes just about the same problem, and old man is pontificating for the sake of burying this thread in his wordiness and trying to bait people into wall battling him. let's kick this game inaugural geriatric game off with an appropriate dose of dramatic irony by lynching the elderly.
tl;dr please help me feed old man the rope-

moi forgive me if you've done this already but can you explain why axelrod is your strongest townread? i also wonder why kison is categorized as not yet readable while i'm in the town list, because i feel like he and i have posted about the same amount of content and our opinions are largely similar so far. you're not the only one with this weird dichotomy of townreading me and nullreading kison though as far as i can tell. there's some kind of groupthink going on with people townreading me, which is giving me the heebie jeebies for some reason.
i have this vague suspicion that hito and axel are scum together but i can't really put it into words right now-

they could be with him, but independently of old man they seem like they're together. they've both taken it upon themselves to speak for old man on more than one occasion already.pj wrote:Do you think they are scum with Old Man, or is this independent?
re: insanity post 232
1, yes axel was my strongest scumread at that point
2, the whiteknighting was a serious knock on him but also the wallposting itself is scummy here
3, context is everything re: my post 170, i was replying directly to pj who asked why he should move off of eddie
i'm glad someone finally decided to pick on me and not just drop another townread on me so thanks for that but your reasoning for voting me is lacking
@old man, what about 232 makes insanity a strong townread?
as already mentioned by pine this is a claim from old man that will either put up or shut up on day two
unvote, vote: axelrod
ms is bugging and not letting me look at axel's post iso right now so i can't go back and find this in situ but i particularly dislike where he implies that he'll just keep on tunneling on eddie and pine tomorrow pretty much regardless of what happens today. i'd love to see a pie chart showing what % of axel's content so far has been exclusively about the two of them.-

ok i can't find it, maybe somebody else said that, too much to go digging for right now
whatever, axel is scum anyway
axel why is your vote still parked on pine? do you still think eddie is scummy (you said early on that you would vote him if not for being at l-2 already)? do you have any other scumreads yet? because for all you've written this game, what i can remember of you is voteparking on pine, cheerleading the eddie wagon, giving kmd a red flag for being on the eddie wagon, and repeatedly defending old man while not quite calling him a townread.-

what if old man is some kind of powerful scum role that they just really need to have alive on night one?
@insanity, because plenty of others have been pressing axel, because i didn't feel the need to shit up the thread with my own personal version of the same points, and also because i had at that time said enough that the train on axel was going choo choo without the need to keep harping. in a game with numerous players coasting far further under the radar than myself, and in which i've been perfectly clear on where i stand, i'm not sure i understand how my supposed lack of doing enough to push a scumread is what stands out to you.-

Sorting doesn't mean asking a bunch of questions. He's sorting my alignment, internally.

Rather, Pine's posts appear to be defending you from the get-go (including Post #52, which you cite). He has not questioned you at all (if anything, he has supplied explanations for you), or really engaged with you. The only 'interaction' I can even find is when he "passed" on discussing Firebringer with you (see Post #174).
I have read through Pine's posts multiple times now, and I am legitimately not seeing it. He has been blindly defending you from pushes and has attacked those who attacked you (and invited you to vote chamber with him). It is no surprise he does not find the confirmation pushes to have any merit, since that would just make himself look bad. He first asked you to "simmer down," which was then later followed by Post #144, which reads as a second not-so-subtle attempt to request that you be less adversarial. This isn't sorting; this is advising.
Pine's posting reads to me like he's your partner trying to defend against you being wagoned while advising you on how to change up your play to avoid garnering votes (see my Post #286 where I explain the connection tell).
What Idon'tsee is somebody who is internally debating whether you are Town or Scum. He has basically just defended you as if you were Town from the beginning.
Please explain why you feel Pine is internally "sorting" you.

what if this

townreads kison pj++ cooldog tammy (this was chamber right?) and eddie and probably tywin++
unvote
hito maybe just look at axel with a critical eye again idk
like has he seriously just been on the pine vote this whole time? has he changed his position on this voteparking behavior since 273? (has he? i really don't know <.<)
he's been sitting on his pine vote which is ostensibly a vote for pine not being town enough or something but he's been throwing shade from there on select other wagons like eddie and tywin that are probably on town
vote: axelrod
calling all townies to vote for axelrod-

I'm almost ready to actually believe that, just because both of them have also been off just posting in the thread. I agree with everything Magna is saying here:
<snip>
I mean, it's thin, but it's D1 with less than 100 posts. I could vote for Eddie, but given he's already at L-2, I don't think I'm going to just yet.
a giant wall of text in 115If I squint I can see that maybe Eddie is saying that his /confirm post was the joke.
The problem is the way he immediately followed it up with the "vote: kmd this is not a joke" post kind of dilutes and confuses the effect, if that's what he was going for. Also, it doesn't/didn't actually answer the question of "how did he confirm" either.
i'm not going to quote block post 125 because it's in response to moi asking for even more detail as if we somehow needed axelrod to give us more detail about his scumread that he never actually puts a vote on but believe me when i say he devotes more words to shading eddieThe thing about Eddie right now though, is that he's not explaining himself and being super-obstinate. He's been asked questions he's ignored and some he's deliberately refused to answer, and kind of justified it with "I'm just sitting back and watching for now, and I'm going to wait until later to say anything." Which isn't really reasonable. One way to read that is: he's accumulated heat (rightly or wrongly), and so now he's trying to stay low and not post anything, hoping the pressure will just go away as other people talk more and draw it away. And that's kind of scummy. The other possibility is that he's just super-annoyed at a wagon that got up to 6 votes for what he feels is no reason whatsoever, so now he's going to be contrary. I could see some of that. I'd probably ignore the first 4 votes on me also (except he didn't completely ignore them - he votes KMD for one of them). But the last two votes weren't random RVS votes. So he ought to at the very least have a response to those. Plus, some people (myself included) who aren't even voting him, have at least commented about him, and he's ignoring them also. The only one he engaged with even a little was Magna, basically to insult him.
That's kind of where I am with him right now. I'm waiting to see what he says when he deems it time to actually post something significant. Then we'll go from there I guess.
ok now where were we oh right you wanted proof of a duality and red flagging kmd, i present for your viewing pleasure post 214
only after this post do we have axel's about face to plop eddie onto his townread pile. soon he'll switch to cheerleading the tywin wagon instead, in addition to throwing gasoline on the kmd wagon fire, while (you guessed it) keeping his vote on pine. see post 307 for example, where axel even says "i kind of want to vote for kmd" while presenting a beefy chunk of case against kmd and then... never votes for kmd.In post 214, Axelrod wrote:I was waiting to see what KMD had to say about Eddie's point (that KMD knows Eddie, and knows he isn't just some random newbie, and therefore should/would have said something about the largely baseless wagon that was forming on Eddie, as opposed to, you know, joining it.)
KMD finally posted @192 and it was...weird. He actually goes through the wagon on Eddie, looking at all the votes, and remarking on which ones seemed like normal RVS, what ones could have come from town and what ones pinged him, buthe completely ignores/omits any reference to his own vote? Which was the Fourth one.
So@KMD:what was up with your vote for Eddie? Did you see that he had three on him already and that you would be #4? If it was RVS, did it concern you at all when two more people jumped on after you, putting Eddie to L-2? You certainly didn't say anything about it, and you didn't unvote.
This is kind of a Red Flag for me on KMD here.
axel did finally make a case for voting pine in 343 but it's weak tea and could easily be tl;dr with just the last line of it:
and rather than actually campaign for people to join him on the pine wagon he follows it up with 346 and 356 against kmd and tywin.This has been Pine. And there's still nothing here that comes across as Townie to me. And that in and of itself is somewhat telling.
so ask yourselves, what the hell is axel's vote doing on pine at this point? there has never been momentum against pine, axel has done little to nothing to build any momentum against pine, while there has in fact been momentum against the tywin slot and against kmd. the answer is that both tywin and kmd are mislynches waiting to happen, and pine is axel's scumbuddy who he has no interest in actually seeing lynched, he's just building that sweet sweet distance.-

hito tbh no i wasn't slash am not fully caught up with all the most recent posting, sorry. however i don't think i've really ruined some big trap since axel already had to try to account for his immobile vote hundreds of posts ago. his being on trial for this isn't a big surprise, though perhaps he ought to be surprised that you've slipped out of his pocket. but i apologize for not seeing your post on the subject and letting it breath on its own.
@insanity, well, my recent posting pretty much gives you an answer to your first question: i think tywin is town. i'm appealing to hito because he's the one i was suspicious of back there for the way he was refusing to see the light on axelrod, and now that my suspicion of him has waned he's the one i'm most interested in getting onboard this wagon because i think it's the most direct way to inject some real life into it.
as hito just pointed out, the cognitive dissonance is strong with insanity expressing admiration for 541 while seemingly continuing on autopilot with her read on and lame questions for me after i've reiterated much of the same.-

do either hito's genuine and original points or my sheeped sentiments in any way change, make you revisit or move the needle on your axel read? or is your position on axel still what you said in 267?In post 595, insanity018 wrote:Roflcoptor's post came afterwards and seemed to be sheeping the sentiment. Hito's post felt more genuine and original.
Well, I wouldn't have to keep repeating my lame questions if you answered the first time. Why do you think Tywin's town? What do you like about his posting?
for the record these supposedly sheeped sentiments are literally the same thing i was after axel for half the day agoI think I've been pretty transparent that I've found things that were odd in Axel's post, questioned him and am fine with his responses.-

here's what i think of kmd: whatever moi vs kmd thing has been going on is a big town vs town **** wagging contest that various scum have been taking cover behind or helping fan the flames. i'm pretty much not at all interested in pursuing a kmd lynch.
here's something to look out for when you reread axel, just something i remember thinking as i've been reading his posts all game - it seems like he's just repeating talking points half the time. only scum and politicians need talking points.-

look axel/tammy you really should not feel bad about mislynching or being wrong in a game of mafia like statistically everyone is wrong more than they are right but we'll literally never get anywhere without votes and lynches. i've never felt bad about being wrong and i certainly won't be starting this game, even if axel flips town.
it boggles my mind that no one else is even concerned by the fact that axel put actual effort into scrutinizing both kmd and tywin[lycan] earlier in this day and now that they are the only two viable lynches aside from himself he won't commit to either.axel wrote:KMD is probably in the same space for me that Tywin/Lycan is, which isn't great. I could say, sure, better one of them than me, and that's probably objectively true - baring one of them having a particular power role - but I can't get excited about it.-
