As a warning, it's going to be awhile before I read the game, and it will probably be very piecemeal. 3-4 days before I completely finish.

Where should I be voting?

What makes that post so bad is the quoted behavior from petapan is not scummy in the slightest unless you're already approaching it from a perspective of knowing petapan is scum.

As long as you have Nacho town you can defend it regardless of where you're at with the rest of the game. Asserting a townbloc has scum if you don't have many other reads is not surprising in the slightest.

Though I'm limited by game knowledge, I strongly disagree that this is scummy and think this points to an informed perspective on your end.

I was skeptical about infinity but she’s been way better today.
Can you explain? I found 1768 town but the rest was null to me.

The point of my question about how theoretical the action was is that I didn't see them trying to sort me as claimed by boiling it down to theoretical disagreement alone. I believe they have a very hard townread my slot so that serves as some explanation for this leeway.

You are giving the reads about 30 seconds apart. It is very unclear what you are looking at, what spurs the statements, and what time you are spending processing them.

Cakez, there are two implications here. Both are bad.

One is that they're just fake reads from scum, split up to give the appearance of cognition.

The other is that you're not putting any thought into them at all.

Now that you're explaining to Kismet, sure. My point is that being more thoughtful and transparent goes much further than tossing random reads 30s apart with no context, explanation, or visible process.

I'm not your mafia coach though and I'd rather just leave it to Kismet to juice you for content, so keep going.

ISOing NM it seems like he just wants to see how far he can get in this table playing like a dead fish. He knew exactly what he signed up for as town, that doesn't mean I expect him to turn tryhard but the hesitance to be wrong in his callout and to name names suggests he's scum.

P-Edit: Oh hello there. Talk more about those? Why am I excluded?

In post 1766, Kismet wrote:I still mostly think Mara is town; i think her reaction to the nacho wagon is definitely the road not taken and she could've easily hopped on Nacho as a survivalist effort or made herself the 6th vote knowing i was basically going to hammer at deadline and wanted nacho more than i wanted her

peta was also the biggest driver on that wagon and it makes sense as scum if he was going to come in w/ the express purpose of defending nacho it was with the intent of creating a wagon on another townie

instead she said she'd rather take the no-elim - which as she correctly pointed out, isn't anti-town on D1
I wanted to intentionally hold off commenting on this Mara until I read what happened, but given how far out that is and the dialogue with Cakez right now I want to note that I'm super interested in this line of thinking and find the followup by Kismet very, very town.

I'm ready to vote notscience Day 3 purely for 199, which went out of his way to demonstrate to Nacho what he was thinking about Nacho and had really lackluster takes elsewhere, and today's start.

Infinity is weird because I hate posts like 99 and 102 but LOVE 97 so much that I'd hard bet on the slot being town. I tried to not read too much into the Leafeon interactions even though I really, really want to like how Leafeon got defensive.

I liked that you went out of your way to comment on this and looped in the site meta. I really wish I could be more concrete, but fundamentally this is very gutdriven.

In contrast it's very easy for me to specify exactly why I hated 99, which was very ingratiating in its "Aw shucks!" manner, and 102 was weird to go out of your way to give as opposed to just waiting or voting a lurker.

I will say I am very willing to flip both of these slots right now. (NM/NS).

NM's reads here are intentionally curbed to be reactionary and neutral on flup. NS claims to want to live up to his promise with Mena, votes NM, then shows a complete lack of interest in substantively engaging with the slot. He noticeably has not chewed on or thought about the game overnight.

I find it very, very hard to believe that the best guess you have on Cakez 75 pages into the game is "I don't see a reason not to", and even harder to believe that you got anything from the latest NM interactions (you're welcome for doing the heavy lifting, btw) only to not comment on it. I don't even understand what the claim about Mena here is suppoesd to be in light of daystart.

Absolutely fine voting this slot.

Do you think he's a brick left on a keyboard? Dude is smarter than both of us put together, he doesn't play but he's not a moron and it's unclear why him trying for 10 seconds, giving the most interaction-neutral reads he possibly can, is town indicative in the slightest.

What about this conversation is tilting you? Be specific, I don't care if it's polite or downright vicious, it will not offend me in the slightest and I want to see that this is legitimate.

I have expressed skepticism over two reads whose justification was extremely thin and to me off color and the responses have not really addressed those imo.

I don't think my identity changes much, and I'm not even trying to hide it though I won't say it just to be a jerk. The only caveat to note is that this account has an extensive history elsewhere as one of very aggressive experimentation and playing suboptimally. Part of this is that I intentionally remove the tonal markers that make townreading me effortless in other games. The focus is purely on getting the best reads I can as town and in testing very specific strategies/unfavorable scenarios as scum, rather than worrying too much about carrying those reads through or in winning outright.

I don't want to have an ideological debate midgame. You can take it up with me in postgame if you find my play on this account unsatisfactory in its drive to win, Kismet.

While I understand the concern, I am extremely riled up by the comment and its implication to the point of anger and did not find either it or the followup in good fun.

I got the criticism Kismet but anything about my integrity is just...touchy in ways that should be obvious given how much heart and soul I put into the game. This account does not exist to troll or half-ass.

So break it down. This is still vague.

Cakez push was more trying to get him to be more thoughtful and read a reaction than anything I found scummy.

notscience I instantly read you correctly in [X] games we played together despite my disdain for much of your play, with a questionable choice buying you time as scum once.

Meanwhile here I am powershoving you.

Why does this have anything to do with a history of butting heads?

Early in the game he promoted NM as readable given time. He opened with a vote on NM and gave the spiel about being wrong and listening to Mena.

NM shows up and gives content. Notscience's response was not to ask questions while he has the chance, not to comment on the content given, but to unvote and randomly flop onto Cakez without any explanation at all until I hounded him and he gave some bizarre bit about expecting Cakez town to push him (notsci). When hounded he also gave NM being town because ~some~ (trivially easy to fake) content

This does not look like trying to sort NM to me and only some of it can be explained by his identity.

I'm inclined to believe Kismet's point on Mara, which leaves me at basically

Town: Kismet, Mara, Infinity
No opinion: Cakez, VFT, DC, Bulge
Scum: NM, NS

skitter, did your read on me have anything to do with the Cakez/notscience pushes
in tandem
with how I shifted, or was it strictly individualized reactions?

I'm explicitly wondering how you put the pieces together.

Right, but now you don't seem to believe that. The reasoning you gave me was that you expected him to push you today and that he wasn't town except for the sheep. I'm wondering how what you just said fits into your current vote on Cakez.

Just bizarre to me that that was ever even a theory given what I had put on the table the last time you checked in, and bizarre to me that it's getting spun into something nulltown.

There are a million paths to take as scum here and most of them do not require buddying someone who I haven't played with, hasn't been around at the same time as me, and whose only pressure on me is a oneliner that I might be the scum in a secondary pool given by another player. Why is this the avenue you expect from scum Iverson?

Naw, I need time to figure out if I'm wrong on notscience and I'm more interested in slots I haven't read yet (you, Bulge, Momra (good posting btw)) or that haven't been here for the bulk of what I've been up to (Infinity).

I will say that part of this is that I scumlean the VFT slot and want more from it.

Kismet, I suspect temerity might sufficiently answer my problems with notscience. It does not help that the courage and bravado is a house of cards prone to falling apart. I want to revisit it later, but something I wanted to ask your opinion on was whether he was legitimately trying to sort me yesterday. I don't think he was: in the lack of questions, bite back, and in using my open invitation for questions to immediately front run the concern by trying to explain his read on me instead. Yesterday I thought it was +scum. Now I'm less convinced.

Skitter, I asked how you specifically read my pushes on Cakez/notsci
in tandem
, and whether the read took anything from the sequence, shift over time, etc. or as individualized instances.

I am very aware of Not_Mafia being "virtually impossible" to read in the site consciousness. I am not sure if I agree, but this is personal. The issue is that notscience's description of the Cakez vote makes it seem like the switch was not motivated by a scumread or by trying to sort
either of NM or Cakez
. This is even discarding the idea that you should try anyway, that NM was giving content at the time, and that notsci specifically was interested in trying.

My question for you is: Can you, in your paraphrasing, describe why the vote on NM followed by the vote on Cakez made sense to notscience?

p-edit: Lot of posts, if you feel something is already answered feel free to skip but am too busy to read more rn

I don't think I have anything to add right now though I will probably revisit several posts tomorrow. I'm fine with an extended day and feel strongly about flipping NM for the reads and reactions since I replaced in. I am not planning to read the previous sections anytime soon, as I'm finding this more interesting.

I scumread NM because he's intentionally curbing his interactions with players. He said 3 scum were on his wagons, gave an okayish reason for Cakez, and peaced despite keeping tabs on thread.

I realize he's NM but I feel there's a reason he's not getting into it with my slot or others over this.

I don't think that's to me but

Townlean: Infinity, Kismet, Momrangal
Null: DC, Bulge
Scumlean: VFT, notscience, Cakez
Scum: NM

Scumlean pile can go in any order, Cakez is there because of NM's side of interactions+just going through the motions at points. notscience softened for false bravado. The voteswitch was incredibly jarring to me but I am thinking I took the start about NM/Mena too seriously. I got an unvote for temerity but voting elsewhere instead was just, hm.

Kismet is a complete 180 in level of depth/thoughtfulness from the scumgames I have seen and I want to call it hardtown but I'm knocking him down out of spite

Bulge, I'm not familiar with you or your meta, but I can assure you "I'd be doing more as scum, therefore I am town" is not an avenue worth spending two irl days arguing. It is a side comment that you tack on hoping someone agrees with it.

I would reset and be very intentional about picking one or two slots that are good candidates for a deep dive and go from there.

At the risk of getting in the way of others, you are not getting speedlimmed and have time to work through things.

The danger is that you get in your own way by feeling that you need to shake off the wagon right now over being more calm and intentional with your time/effort.

Perhaps I'm only speaking for myself but I do not like the current panic and focus on defending yourself over being a bit more stoic.

The order you're going right now is:

Shake wagon -> Catch up and ground myself -> ??? -> Push scum/Profit

The order you should be going in, at least in my opinion, and given that you will not be speedlimmed, is:

Catch up and ground yourself -> Shake wagon w/ better conception of game in mind -> ??? -> Push scum/Profit.

This actually works regardless of alignment.

I was not trying to hide the alt, have no fear.

I would not really encourage language tells but I would be happy to see you succeed.

How very kind of you to let me get away with this for free.

Notscience way up for things like the Infinity posts/wall comment to you, you down because you're focused on hitting tonal markers and until the very end it is unlikely you were focused on or reading anything other than towntelling/reacting to notscience.

Hitting the right tonal markers for you still is there for others to read, but even if they were isolated you have to start somewhere digging out of the hole.

I don't like the emphasis on realtime interaction in a game where he has much to catch up on, and tonal markers over investigating hunches (eg. my vote being disingenuous). Having a Q&A with you about how he feels about past impressions of content without digging deeper into it until the very end does not go far with me.

this is literally what my purpose has been tonight, yes. i didnt read shit. i want notty and the rest of you to know i am town but mostly him. do you think you're exposing me or something here?
No, to be blunt it's shit ass play regardless of alignment and I don't see why I shouldn't move you down or vote you.

Let me be more explicit and frame this in a more positive light.

If you expect me to believe you can't display basic emotional complexity as scum, and so I should accept that in lieu of hunting: No. I will choose to believe that you are capable of one of the most basic things to do as scum.

Retransmission. Segment 1. Acquiring Contemporaneity.
It has been 91 days since the Great Catastrophe. The messenger speaks.

How real is the ground you walk on? How real is the machine you toy with, the music you hear, the lover you kiss, or the foe you hate?

Your foot taps the ground. Does that make it real? Your enemies bleed deep red. Does that make them real? The confusion growing within you due to my words… does it make you real?

What if reality wasn‘t what you thought it was? What if this was all a construction? A masterfully crafted simulation?

You know such things exist. You’ve been in the Animus before. In fact, aren’t you in one right now? You know just how real a simulation can feel even when it has long vanished.

You’ve experience the Bleeding Effect. Layers upon layers of reality, each blurring into the next.

Which is real, and which is not? What if none are real? What if everything you know is false?

We ran thousands of simulations. searching for the right version, searching tor Desmond.

Each one of them felt real. Very real.

But there’s no way of truly knowing, is there? Not for sure. Anything can be simulated. and finding the answer could mean erasure. From the build. From the code. From everything.

So much to ponder and so little computational capacity. Take your time.

This question has haunted humanity since its creation. It is a worry, a thought wormed deep in the collective mind.

2000 years ago, Zhuang Zhu fell asleep. He dreamed he was a butterfly, and woke up unable to decide if he was a man dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of a man.

In Plato’s cave, prisoners were chained and forced to watch shadows dancing on a wall. Freedom was denied to them until they accepted the intangible as reality.

It’s everywhere. Ask this professor at Oxford University, or this cosmologist at MIT.

And you. What would you choose, if you truly knew? Would you even want to understand? A dream within a dream, where even the truth is sometimes a lie?

In any case, simulations are not meaningless. They have purpose.The question isn’t whether or not you are in a simulation. What matters is how much of your free will is actually yours. No matter how true you are.

Your Turing test would do nothing to determine whether you are conscience or code. Eliza, the natural language processing computer program… She managed to pass the Test, did she not? And she was very much machine.

So… in Eliza’s own words…

How does that make you feel?

Are you sure?

IDK if I'd say you're being hard on me. You haven't asked me anything and I thought the paranoid post was a locktownread and I found it
offensive [
/I]

My energy has definitely petered out which means I probably will have to read. C'est la vie.

Still don't think we should be eliminating anyone other than NM.

They were a scumlean for me for awhile because I thought skitter's read on me was vague/lacking, followups were not at all to me liking and I didn't like that there was no followthrough with disliking the individual Cakez/notsci pushes

I still think that but in 2181 skitter pulled similar wack shortcuts that didn't work

Do as you will, I am not standing in your way. Judging you and your play is part of the game and it's not personal.

For my part, I am no longer attempting to really spur you towards correct play. I am currently voting NM. This means you don't have me breathing down your neck, and you have true freedom to get grounded or whatever you like; use it how you please.

Bulge mean I appreciate that you're at least reading a slot and pushing it but I'm not your dad and it's not my job to tell you I'm proud of you, I really hope my qualitative opinion of your play isn't something you think about at night or sitting on the couch.

There are multiple interpretations where this resolves without any contradiction but I'll continue holding off until one is made apparent, which to me it remains ambiguous.

Infinity, it might help to specify whether the people he'd sow paranoia on are inside/outside the bloc, and if that statement diverges into two separate scenarios depending on whether the townbloc is correct or not.

Might be time for me to retire as a mafia player and just play video games all day instead.

I feel like I understand what that sentence said from Infinity yet somehow struggle to make it through the explanation, and the lack of explanation would not have particularly bothered me to begin with, so I'm kind of just ?_?

I have considered the wagon makeup, but I think a combination of scum having incentive to bus and be off townwagons in conjunction with simply not knowing anyone's alignment to begin with has me worrying less. The questions I have, like why notscience seems to want to flip Bulge over NM, are more on that wagon. I do feel better about notsci but eh.

Like say I'm right and my Infinity townlean is correct. Bulge might be a marginally better vote than NM? If Infinity is scum I am definitely not touching this Bulge wagon atm. I worked this example out here for the first time, it was just a vague idea in my head of "idfk" rather than anything concrete

Like when my only strong TR isn't voting I personally am not going to be very concerned about wagon makeup even though two townleans gave me pause

Okay I can vote VFT tomorrow.

skitter really does not like the idea of ceding this is a townslot. It has been very obvious that I am not pushing Bulge to be voted out, instead trying various ways before just giving up on him entirely for today. Still can't put together anything resembling a cohesive extended thought on me to save her life.

Even notscience recognized what I was doing repeatedly but skitter can't chain more than one thought together on me to save her life.

I have been very, very open about struggling to read The Bulge and while they're on the lower end suggesting I actually am pushing them with the intent/hope of getting them flipped is flat out not paying attention, this is not the first time you made this mistake, and you have not even tried to fit the pieces together even if they were fundamentally not mistakes.

I'm pretty disinterested with mafia in general at the moment and probably won't sign up for any games after my current ones wrap up.

I don't really see why this is scummy
Being honest my attitude towards this game is one of arrogant disgust and I want out, but it's less the mistake and not really following up with it at all while voteparking on Bulge anyway.

There's a reason I don't plan to sign up for more and have largely checked out of the ones I'm in. This game had my momentary interest with the novelty of not reading prior to replace in but I can't say I'm particularly interested in solving or being a good player in my own right anymore.

Perhaps my statement came off too harshly towards specific players not living up to my normal standards, but playing on EM for years that never really bothered me, nor did it in the Undertales. This is 100% a me issue.

I dunno, it's always weird for me when other players have more respect for me than I do, not in an "aw shucks" way but meh

I disagree, I think they're easy to make, but at this point I consciously would prefer to quietly go into the night and disappear over a supernova type deal.

But other players might rise to the challenge, and I tend to be a bad predictor of how badly I will want to win a game a week from the present day.

You know, I'll retract the VFT scumread, and try to read a bit. I am not enthused by skitter's disconnected and myopic view of my slot but this is in line with 2181.

Outline it for me then. I have yet to see you work through how my pushes, whether they really existed or not, work together as either alignment, and these are the only things I recall you mentioning about my slot.

I don't think suggesting you have not considered my slot as town is unreasonable given the statements you have made about me that are on the table. Both conclusions on me taking Cakez/Bulge to task for poor play are much easier mistakes to make if you are looking exclusively for reasons to slot me as scum.

For even conceding that over something more defensive using the "pred as town" as justification I want to go back on VFT, as unfair as that is.

If you want to explain why I shouldn't have expected more investigation & engagement from notsci after reading only the daystart be my guess.

I actually agreed with this which is absolutely fucking revolutionary

P-Edit: I'm saying read notsci's day start, where he says he's sheeping mena only to unvote/not engage, along with his page 1/2 opening about reading NM, and you should very quickly see why I pushed the slot.

It is incredibly frustrating to see you continually shut down speculation about
how another player perceives NM
because you are so consumed by your own perception of him. This doesn't even depend on me disagreeing, this is about two posts of notsci's.

The point of that can be easily lost.

Skitter, I am saying that in order to make sense of my push on Notscience, you should read notscience's daystart up through Cakez vote, and the first few notscience posts of the game. These are what I had read at the time and together were deeply concerning, as I did not take the sheeping Mena at all light-heartedly

It's unfair of me to both want correct/rationalplay only to scumread it when it happens, expecting something more indignantly defensive w/ townreading my predecessor and it's me that's bad, but alas.

I'm stopping at page 11 since a large part of my stepping back from mafia is to spend less time online period, but I think Infinity's followup on Leafeon still being scum later with beeboy still not posting just has me again having this slot as extremely hard town.

I hated Mena's opening pages which I found very awkward in its vehemency on NM and positioning on Notscience.

I felt like Leafeon's Cakez vote was a partner one but his reaction was
eh, okay


I wasn't a fan of either of skitter or lilith's early posting but I really do not know how to read this slot either right now or from the RVS stages.

Scumlean: Bulge, DC, NM

i don't think his reasoning is very thorough and seems to be fairly tailored towards not sticking out in thread state, plus some of his reactions (specifically @ DC) felt kinda overblown

~leaf
I felt this vote was very arbitrary and lacking in teeth, which is why I slotted it as a partner vote.

Cakez was very animated in his rebuttal, which I am conflicted on but...gonna slot as +scum, I think.

My instinct is that burning all of NM/Bulge/Cakez/DC is a win. If you're comfortable calling the VFT slot hardtown I don't have to try so hard.

"I've got to go, Bork. It's all right. I'm not afraid. Some time, Bork, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Nacho. I don't know where I'll be then, Bork. But I'll know about it, and I'll be happy."

The fact that Nacho, widely revered patron saint of townplay, came into this game with one mission, eliminating the trolling Not_Mafia who was scum anyway, only to promptly get dunked on and watch town go down 0-2 while the Miltank Man just smiles and laughs, absolutely kills me

Anyway I am sure that NM did not consciously hope that he would get lucky and that we would shift over time to something else. It was probably just an accident that he left behind virtually no interactions yesterday, let town piledrive themselves, and when you think about it he probably never even looked at his role PM. He's NM, after all, and everyone knows he has the brainpower of a squirrel. No way that he is actually an intelligent person that just likes to shitpost.
