And am I wrong about the fact that the hydra was explicitly trying to make Bambi look bad? Like do you actually disagree with the points that I made?

I think BuJaber is town, Bambi is town. Not sure what to make of the hydra slot, a couple of their posts did feel vaguely townie and I like that they were townreading BuJaber as well. At the same time the fact that their two scumreads are the two people who applied pressure to them is pretty lazy

The more I think about it the more I think calling it "an indirect defense of Bambi more than a scum case" is bullshit. It's a case centered on the premise that the hydra's push on Bambi was done for self-serving purposes of discrediting/hyperbolizing rather than genuine town sorting. Yes in effect that works out to
also
be an indirect defense of Bambi, but the main point was clearly that the hydra's push itself was under scrutiny.

I don't see how you can honestly interpret that as *not* a scumcase. Fabricated scumreads, or scumreads out of an agenda, are scummy behavior. Thats the key point I was making with my . I happen to think Bambi' s town here, but even if I didn't, the logic of that post would still apply.

Ooh, sounds cryptic. Surely it can't be all that different from a regular game, right? I'm not gonna play differently from how I normally do just because it's multiball. I'm just thinking of the Werewolves as being the "true" Mafia team (since they have the KP) while the "Mafia" are really just a trio of Evil Masons as far as I'm concerned.
If anyone other then me or Applejack gets lynched I'll be disappointed.
Why should we restrict the choice of D1 lynch to just two slots so early in the game? That kind of thought is too narrow-minded IMO.

I don't get it. Deception and intrigue are core themes of the Game of Mafia, so how is it BS to say stuff like "I promise that I'm not scum"? It's not as if the phrase "I promise" holds any actual weight in the game anyway. Even if you have personal raisins for not doing it, it's not as if you're gonna get *ahem* od-may illed-kay for angle-way ooting-shay.

- I can see that ajfe were criticising Bambi's thought process, but it doesn't read to me like their primary purpose was just to shade her, but rather to try and make her reconsider her stance on them.

I decided not to interfere in that stupid hydra discussion. Entirely pointless.

Guilty is overexplaining everything. Bambi is town, hydra IDK. I'm going to find that difficult if they don't sign their posts. Particularly when 3 or 4 of them are attacking Bambi at once.

I can definitely see the latter as well, I guess we had different interpretations what the "primary" purpose was. Even the latter is still vaguely scummy to me though as town
should
be less concerned with being townread and arguing against scumreads on their slots. However a lot of town players are way too over-defensive in this way, which is why I tried a reach out in

how do you feel about Clemency? I'm not at all impressed with his ISO so far and I agree the "they're both scum" post was empty posting.

That entire roster post is iffy.

Also regardless of what GL flips this game I think I will name my next hydra / alt account Town[something].. it's foolproof.

It's the whole meta-analysis of your own posts which I find a little scummy, not what your conclusions are.

this game should not be this slow on D1 with this many people

I don't agree with rosterfoster (since I was pushing back on Egix when analyzing myself and my own posts) but I don't see it as productive to push further and I can also loosely see how a town!him would read it that way, so I'm waiting to see how he engages with other slots. not sure what else there is to do right now until other players jump in.
