VOTE: raven

[lilith2013]

^lack of coherent thought process. Raven’s posts feel even more disassociated from the gamestate than tux’s were.

[skitter30]

I'm not sure what to think of votato having me as logical scum but actually he thought I was town and the logic was wrong. That's weird.

VOTE: lilith

And yes Mr Clover Ebi, I'd like your opinion

yeah i think that votato logic / mis-speak probably doesn't come from scum tbh
i also dislike this lilith vote, but i'm also not sure scum!you makes it

also i have gut townpings on drusilla

[lilith2013]

What has drusilla posted that pinged you as town?

[skitter30]

This feels like her method to shade/vote whoever she wants.

I'm not seeing any anger in her posts. She doesn't feel snarky - she's slimy, she seems to h ave an agenda to push

she has more 'heft' here than i've seen from her in recent scumgames
there's an over-arcing thought process that follows/flows from post to post that i dont' think she's fully capable of faking as scum

and to elaborate on what i said before:
i think this push is bad but kinda unlikely to come from scum since lilith is a fairly popular townread and it's a strange place to push here when there's multiple easy/more lynchbaity options
and i think scum!you would maybe back off if beeboy is telling you he thinks she's town, and you're doublilng down

[skitter30]

What has drusilla posted that pinged you as town?

i don't know how to articulate this super well but i'll try

it's not like an individual post but like holistically i think that her posts kind of 'go together' as a coherent thougth process. and it's one that's a bit different from the consensus set of opinions. like she's thinking on a parallel, but different, track than the rest of us and it strikes me as townie because she has a unique approach to the game

i don't know if all of her thoughts are ending up in thread but i like that she can produce answers like the one in the post that follows that belie a broader thought process connecting disparate posts/thoughts, so that makes me think she's trying to solve

@Drusilla what do you think of Tux disengaging? Is more the question I wanted to know why you asked. Sorry that was unclear. What is your answer to that question?

oh sorry. it felt unnatural to me, and i asked morning tweet because she is familiar with him and had just made a comment about him.

idk if that makes sense but i'm also not sure i can explain it better. it makes more sense in my head than how i conveyed it here

[skitter30]

if lilith is scum here suddenly the game makes a lot more sense.

i don't think she's scum here + how would the game make more sense if she were?

[lilith2013]

This would be the play, find a hole then build a read around the hole you saw.

could you answer this please:

Why is there a 25 minute gap between your initial read and the elaboration to it without new information?

Basically what I am getting at is your retroactively justifying a read based on my thread opening.

do you think the elaboration was due to your/votato's reaction to the original post?

was kinda hoping someone would react to my first post but i guess you all just don't care about me. i see how it is.

just gonna say this from the top and maybe ill do better sticking to it: im going to be making an effort to limit the hours in which im an active participant in this game. i enjoy mafia a lot but i also find it exhausting when im constantly thinking about it which leads to apathy. please do me a big favor and yell at me if you notice im posting in the thread all throughout the day. i will be happier and honestly probably better/more engaged in this game if i can practice a little restraint.

why share this? i understand the logic of holding yourself to that but do you have an expectation of others actually discouraging you from posting throughout the day?

additionally, what sort of reactions were you hoping for?

How did the responses to these questions help you sort beeboy and nahdia (or how did you hope the responses would help with sorting them when you asked the questions)?

@skitter this was kind of a weird post to me because I felt the opposite of that here - like I’m not sure how these questions would help her discover beeboy’s or nahdia’s alignments

[lilith2013]

I guess there might have been some underlying thread that she just hasn’t explained yet but I’d like to hear what that is

[skitter30]

votato talking about townblocks all the time feels like buddiyng. not to mention admits he's apathetic as town and has the second-highest posts?
midwaybear gives all kinds of thoughts/analysis and then says they have no reads in 355.

man these are really surface-level takes ...

[lilith2013]

This feels like her method to shade/vote whoever she wants.

I'm not seeing any anger in her posts. She doesn't feel snarky - she's slimy, she seems to h ave an agenda to push

Haven’t read the original posts yet but I agree it’s a really weird thing to start pushing me here instead of any other already-existing wagon

[skitter30]

That’s interesting, @votato, are you usually this engaged as town? But I don’t understand, Nahdia. Why does talking about townblocks read as buddying to you? This is my problem with you in a nutshell, you make one statement I can kind of agree with, then combine it with another that leaves me scratching my head.

ok so like overall what do you think of them ... ?

[lilith2013]

Skitter, any thoughts on raven?

[lilith2013]

Idk if it’s really as easy as raven/nahdia but that’s kind of where I’m at

[skitter30]

This kind of comment always feels townie to me, but i just looked through your scumgame (guns and roses iv) and errrr...i disagree. maybe i'm paranoid. i think you seem "townie" based on your fearlessness, but that's a playstyle. why do you say you're out of your scumrange?

i think i have a p good sense for her scumrange at this point, and i think she's out of it

[skitter30]

I guess there might have been some underlying thread that she just hasn’t explained yet but I’d like to hear what that is

they're random enough questions + she's persistant enough in trying to get teh answers that i think she has some reason for asking them and that it would help her resolve {whatever point she's thinking of when asking the questions}

it's mroe the persistence in trying to get an answer that feels townie to me and reinforces the notion that there's some underlying thought process taht she's trying to clarify, if that makes sense

[skitter30]

also i think i might know who the main is and the posting style is consistent of what i would expect from town!them if i'm right

[lilith2013]

Yeah I feel you - I’m not gonna argue that you’re wrong, I just want to see for myself what that thread was before I’m prepared to agree on that read

[skitter30]

Idk if it’s really as easy as raven/nahdia but that’s kind of where I’m at

raven's not great. idk how much experience she has but she's p clearly having trouble getting into the game and is taking a lot of wishy-washy stances; in particular i noted her doing that on nahdia. i can see them being partners

i think i wanna focus on nahdia; i'm p sure that their posting this game does not resemble town!nahdia posting.
whereas raven is just kinda bad but idk if that's a playstyle thing or not

i kinda want to force raven to take an opinion on nahdia

@raven do u scumread or townread nahdia? if you scumread them, can u vote them ?

[skitter30]

Yeah I feel you - I’m not gonna argue that you’re wrong, I just want to see for myself what that thread was before I’m prepared to agree on that read

ya fair, i was just elaborating cuz i sometimes find that rambling on about a read enables me to figure out how to articulate it better, and i think the persistance is part of what's contributing to the townread

can i interest u in voting nahdia btw?

[lilith2013]

I’d rather be voting raven for pressure since I feel like nahdia is already getting a decent amount of pressure from you, but if it came time to vote for execution, I’d definitely be on the nahdia wagon

[skitter30]

that's reasonable, and if later in the day i need more help with the nahdia wagon i will be taking u up on that !

[lilith2013]

Sounds good

[lilith2013]

So are you townreading votato?

No no, what I'm saying is a referenced a town case against me to try and see if I got similar feelings to this game and I haven't got that. So, I then looked at his points themselves and I didn't really think they came from good faith

Can you explain more? What made you think his arguments weren’t made in good faith, and do you see a difference between my points and his? (iirc a lot of the points he made are along the same lines as mine)

[lilith2013]

I really want that
