Open 811 - Lovers and Losers [Day 1]

[Vex Vience]

VOTE: bingle - you know the reason why

also,

i am lovers with bambi—she can confirm this. everyone should claim if they are a lover, and if they are, with who, or if they're vt. doing so will make this game much easier for us to solve the rest of it.

this game is nightless so there's no factional kill present.
if two other people claim lovers, we now have four mechanically confirmed ics due to the nature of the setup. if we have four others claim lovers, we now know there's two scum within the six lovers, and one scum within the remaining three vts, and we can solve from there.

i also propose we solve lovers before we solve vts, just so we have more ics to work with, and so we can remove most of the scum from the game.
ok? ok.

[Vex Vience]

yes it is? we know there's two scum within six players if all lover pairs claim, leaving a single goon left over. if the scum lovers decide to claim vts, we know for a fact both lover pairs *have* to be town, which means we don't have to bother solving lovers at all, and we have four effective ics to solve the remaining five

[Vex Vience]

basically, either scum have to dedicate to claiming lovers now, or they claim vts and let us have four unkillable ics

[Vex Vience]

i know it's not poly which is why i want the lover pairs to claim at the start. we know if all three pairs claim, there's two scum within six, and one scum within three, which makes reading and solving the game easier than trying to find three scum in nine.

[Vex Vience]

if it was poly, scum obviously claim vt so we can't just insta-solve from the lovers

[Vex Vience]

@bingle true, but i prefer lovers because it's more people once it's actually solved.
@tbone it's because i'm a very mechanical-based player, and if i get focused on something, (eg massclaim at the start to figure out the game from there), i tend to hyperfixate on it.

[Vex Vience]

i have never played this setup, so i'm going with what i'm used to doing. not to mention, i don't really see the problem with a single vote on someone at the very start of d1? it's clearly a rvs vote.

pedit: the reason why i signed up for this setup as well was to help get the open queue moving, so my setup could go into signups faster, plus i know a few people in the playerlist already, and i enjoy playing with them, so i'll happily play a game that i'm weak at. do you have any problem with that?

[Vex Vience]

no, only mafia are allowed to talk in their pt during the day

[Vex Vience]

it literally says that in the role pm

[Vex Vience]

town lover

Hi, {Player}. You are a Town Lover with {Another Player}.

If anyone of you die, the other dies as well.

The two of you may talk privately prior to day 1 {here}

You win when all Mafia members are eliminated.

a

[Vex Vience]

answering rapidly doesn't mean i'm town. it just means i have the site open in another tab and i'm checking it while i do other things

[Vex Vience]

also it's up to you at this point. if we have another lover claim occur, obviously i want you to claim it so we know which six we're looking at, otherwise i'm fine with having it just be the three of us for now

[Vex Vience]

few things:
1a) i'm currently playing binding of issac, and i have not only ms open, but the binding of issac wiki so i can reference what items do.
1b) i'm checking the site each time i check what an item does because i know the thread is currently active, so i wanna see what's going on
1c) i'm checking the site each time i complete a floor because i know the thread is currently active
2) i didn't get angry. i don't know where you're getting that from.
3) obviously i'd answer correctly even if i was scum, because if i didn't i'd instantly out the fact i'm scum.

none of this implicates me as town as well. this is all just nai.

[Vex Vience]

ana who are you lovers with?
rm who are you lovers with?

[Vex Vience]

we have three distinct lover claims which means one of the claims is the scum lovers, so at this point, there's no reason for us to hide who the pairs are

[Vex Vience]

Every lover pair needs to summarize their pre-game topic immediately in as much detail as possible that still avoids modkill. To the extent where if you dont you die because of something that im really hoping scum is just realizing.

i'm asking the mod if my tl;dr follows the rules. i feel like it does, but i wanna be safe

[Vex Vience]

ye, i was typing it up and then i sent it to the mod to quickly ask them if it follows the rules

[Vex Vience]

Her voting me also blackmailed me to out my partner which I explicitly said I wanted to stall to release reads

If it makes you feel better Rational they made me do that in the last harder setup when I thought it was a better idea to hide everything. My partner wanted to go hard tho so I just said fuck it they do them.

Anyway, since I respect Bingle as a player I'll wait for him before trying to vote you out and quick elim you both. My plan still revolves killing the other 2 lover pairs first. So I'll let Bingle try to convince me it's Anastasia and Kerset first.

But that leaves the 3 VT players as the people I was more afraid to read solo without a pair. Lovely.

I townread VV's belief that he's pushing to solve/win the game for the townside.

There is nothing to solve this is an open setup...

The only thing to solve was who are the pairs and singles and alignment hut you've ruined the first part

i'm thinking atm that ana/kerset is the other town pair, and rm/bingle are the scum pair.

i do like bingle's entrance so far, but not rm's play.
i think that ana's play thus far is just straight-up town, but i wanna have kerset in the thread and talk to them a bit before i dedicate to this

pedit: bingle is literally an outed alt of jingle, and has been for a very long time

[Vex Vience]

ignore the rest of the quotes, i was gonna quote them and reply to them, but then i decided not to for now

[Vex Vience]

Okay Vex, first of all it was a simple question. You don't need mod approval to talk about what was in the PT or the Masons would be modkilled infinitely. Just be general and don't quote anything.

Also Ration, what did Bingle talk about in the PT? Did he give you any plans to follow? Was it his idea to not claim?

fair

[Vex Vience]

Every lover pair needs to summarize their pre-game topic immediately in as much detail as possible that still avoids modkill. To the extent where if you dont you die because of something that im really hoping scum is just realizing.

tl;dr - i ask mod to confirm if the pt will be locked at the start of d1, since it states we can talk there prior to d1 starting.
i ask bambi how we wanna approach the game since we're basically masons.
bambi says she'll be gunning for the two lover pairs, saying that town lost last game because they focused on vts, not lovers which are easier to read
i say i want all three lover pairs to claim because if there's only two, both pairs have to be town
i bring up setup and there being two scum lovers and one goon
i bring up finding scum!lovers d1 means we have four ics in play now
i mention i think trying to solve lovers is better and that we should use the single miselim we have for both sets to our advantage
bambi states the game is in two sets, with either scum!lovers or scum!goon as the last scum standing
i quote the setup
bambi says that if we elim one vt and one lover pair, we autolose due to 3v3, so we have to solve one set first
i state i'm going to push for all four lovers to claim d1
i ask how well bambi knows the playerlist
i mention i feel like i can read kerest, klick, and bingle well enough

[Vex Vience]

i don't like that reasoning rm.
you're claiming lover, meaning i have to read your slot as the combination of two players. i'm not gonna yeet a player on page five because i think they're scum in the pseudo-rvs stage of the game

[Vex Vience]

I townread VV's belief that he's pushing to solve/win the game for the townside.

There is nothing to solve this is an open setup...

yes there is? solving which players belong to which alignment is solving the game. figuring out the most optimal strategy for town is solving the game, etc etc.

The only thing to solve was who are the pairs and singles and alignment hut you've ruined the first part

ok, so we still can solve the alignments. i see no issue with this?

Also it is only scum who'd want to rush the day, why would Town want to rush the vote here? This setup is 100% tells-based no investigations to rush towards

nobody is rushing the day either? it's mostly just us saying "i think it's you, but i wanna wait for the others to get here before actually dedicating to this"

Ok vote me out idgaf, enjoy the loss if you're town and never ever vote someone on this bullshit reasoning again. If you're scum well dome you won by BS reasoning, that is if you aren't voted out next. Do it, vote me, I won't gamethrow amd vote myself.

Vote me. I don't want to be in this shit situation later on where clearly everyone is biased and too incapable to read to townread me and bingle based on bias, better to eliminate me with the free miselimination

This isn't WIFOM eliminate me right now and then eliminate Anastasia's pair, she deserves to lose wothe if Town pushing for no fucking reason

i don't like this at all. this doesn't read off as very genuine to me, and comes off as more of a "we got found, time to try to sway emotions" type of post?
it's literally page five. we're still technically within rvs.

[Vex Vience]

i'm feeling more and more confident on ana being town, and rm being scum ngl

[Vex Vience]

so what's the issue here then? if it's two townies, then the third one joins in, scum can't quickhammer because that exposes them
if it's two scum, scum can't quickhammer because not enough people

[Vex Vience]

first, ana's posts have felt more townie than yours, namely 78/80/109 all feel very townie and echo a similar sentiment to my own
second, there are, (as i write this), 122 posts. you have made 50 of them. i would consider that nai, but like, honestly, just about half the posts thus far are yours, which i don't really know what to make of. i realize i post a lot and i'm trying to trim that down, but seriously.
third, 32/57/76/82/85/87 all don't sit right with me.

i will happily go through and break down the posts if you want me to and what i think about them individually

[Vex Vience]

and now you pivot onto me and bambi. you aren't helping your own case

[Vex Vience]

and how are we feigning hesitation? by saying "it's page four, i want others to chime in before dedicating to this?"
that makes sense how??

[Vex Vience]

tbf, i'm waiting on kerset and bingle to show up before i begin really thinking about stuff

[Vex Vience]

@mod timer is incorrect

[Vex Vience]

Lets kill time then. Thoughts on VT slots?

i'm pretty sure you're town thus far.
t-bone's introduction i have mixed feelings on thus far, and i'm not sure what to make of it yet.
klick i feel like i'll be able to read when they start posting, since last game i was in with them was ran by jingle, and they were a traitor who didn't know their partners

[Vex Vience]

i say i want all three lover pairs to claim because if there's only two, both pairs have to be town

Who in this list do you think is unlikely to have recognized optimal play as scum is to claim their lover?

tbf, i didnt bother reading the playerlist until *after* asking bambi about who they knew
looking at the playerlist, i'd say nobody.

[Vex Vience]

Whst did Vex do that required previous collaboration with Bambi so supremely?

llama is talking about the tl;dr of our lover pt.

[Vex Vience]

I actually dont mind TB entry. I can see an argument against claim, but it mostly seems futile. I think even if scum he theoretically believes he is right that a claim is bad (or at least not optimal). Very much so not a tell.

Need to check one other thing... hold on.

its not so much the anti-claim thing. i understand t-bone's point on that and i'm fine with it, honestly.
it's mostly the "i think you're town, but this is a weird thing to do as town" that's currently bothering me

[Vex Vience]

We aren't friends here, one of our pairs directly wants the others to lose. Stop this act. I don't respect any of you less than any other. You're all trash and all amazing in your own ways, I focus on tells and indication of scum. If I think you're scum, I'll vote a d encourage others to. Idc if I reapect your lover partner like a god, I vote you.

Bambi is trying to seem inquisitive and understanding but if you properly analyse it, it's just positioning the pair of Vex and Bambi perfectly so both lover pairs Ana vs Rational can get voted off.


I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

1) why is pushing someone who appears to be scummy wanting the others to lose? isn't that the entire point of mafia? to find the scum and push them? yes, obviously not all town will be perfectly townie, and not all scum will be scummy. but trying to push a scumread isn't gamethrowing like you're equating.
2) i really don't like all the spelling errors, because that means i have to take more time to actually figure out what you're saying. no offense to you, but if i'm spending a significant part of my time while reading the game simply trying to figure out what you're saying, i'm going to want to policy yeet you *just* so i don't have to read your stuff.

[Vex Vience]

If you think Bingle and me are Town this is useful to disarm us as you're trying to create rapport with Bingle after failing to with me.

Both VV and Bambi know better than to try to pocket me.

this is true.

Oh, I know exactly what they're doing. They're pivoting into a position to be able to use the people experienced in reading them to stay alive.

Bambi doesn't play mafia as town or scum. Bambi plays mafia as a survivor. To Bambi, the win condition is to stay alive til endgame. Bambi also should know that I'm working on pocketing her atm, because if she's at least being noncombative I have the room needed to work to solve the game. Honestly, I don't give a fuck if we're limmed if I can leave a roadmap to victory behind.

Vex is the one that's going to end up being more readable out of that pair, especially since he's on his tryhard account. There's also another angleshooty reason to townread them based on their tl;dr, but I don't know if I want to out it just yet.

jingle, i don't like the first part of this post, even though the part about me is actually true.

Why has the game been open for a few hours and we are in 1v1 mode where all parties are avoiding the other half of the game? Granted its been the quieter half for the most part... but just as important. Even if we get right lover pair we still need the VT fake out.

I mean... I think one player is in 1v1 mode. I'm actively attempting to solve two slots, one in each pool, and passively attempting to solve the other lover pair by PoE.

RM is just a very loud and aggressive dude, which suits me just fine actually because his presence in the game is going to be enough to keep people on tilt and readable.

jingle did you roll scum? i really hope you didn't. :c
i'm getting the feeling you're scum here and you/third partner told rm to play very loudly and aggressively. i remember the last game we played together was cultd3, and i wanted you dead d1 because i thought you were scum. this game i'm not feeling the same way, and it's making me think you rolled scum.

[Vex Vience]

it's page eight. your lover hasn't chimed in that much.
about half of the players haven't even said anything yet.
please explain to me in what world does me pushing a scumread this early makes any sense.

[Vex Vience]

the half part is probably incorrect, but a good number haven't said enough/anything for me to meaningfully remember their presence thus far, so they haven't said anything yet to me.

[Vex Vience]

i think you're scum. i'm not pushing you because it's way too early for me to do so. i want everyone to post, and weigh in on this before i actually commit to pushing you. i also want to talk to your lover, because talking to you is about as productive as talking to a brick wall.
i will gladly provide a full case on why i think you're scum later in the day after we have more time to discuss things, and when i'm not about to sleep.

[Vex Vience]

i think you're scum. i'm not pushing you because it's way too early for me to do so. i want everyone to post, and weigh in on this before i actually commit to pushing you. i also want to talk to your lover, because talking to you is about as productive as talking to a brick wall.

You think it now, give the case right now, no time to make shit up or use later information.

it's page eight. your lover hasn't chimed in that much.
about half of the players haven't even said anything yet.
please explain to me in what world does me pushing a scumread this early makes any sense.

You don't have any read on me, you're just grasping at straws.

what the actual fuck. there is no way you actually believe this. this is forum mafia, not irl mafia. i'm not a robot. i sleep when i get tired, and i have a life outside of the forum, believe it or not. when i posted that, i was about to go to sleep; it was 2 a.m. for me, and i work at 11 a.m and as of writing this, it is 9:43 for me.
if you are going to try to use IRL reasons in part of your reasoning why i'm scum, never play mafia again. honestly. we have ten days to figure out an elim. i am allowed to step away from the thread and not post while i do other things. i will post the case at the earliest point in time i can.

[Vex Vience]

i would like to mention as well that post 193 and 194 are seperated by a whole 31 seconds

[Vex Vience]

i mention i feel like i can read kerest, klick, and bingle well enough

Its you again! Every time i meet you, you are on different alt.

ye, i like playing on alts :p

That's actually not helpful in this setup, but my gut is that you're town for it. Congrats.

Okay doubling down is kinda weird.

Oh no, claiming is fine. It's the framing it as this great game-solving move that is super weird.

Double down was the wrong term. Overselling is what I was going for.

I feel you. I get it, easy instinct to have.

Wtf is this appearance? No vote, nothing to work with. Just some mechtalk and disappearance.
VOTE: T-Bone

i feel like kerest is town for this

It is incredibly difficult for me to engage with reading this when like 40% of the posts so far are RM being overly paranoid and most of the other posts are setup spec
Even so, the solve that's making my head happiest atm is definitely RM/Bingle/T-Bone. Ana/Vex/Llama have all towntold decently, RM really hasn't and when I ISOed Bingle I wasn't convinced he was town.

you can safely ignore most of rm's stuff. i'm working on a scum case for them atm, but it'll have to wait until after work to be entirely finished, in which case it's debatable if it'll actually be finished today

klick i feel like i'll be able to read when they start posting, since last game i was in with them was ran by jingle, and they were a traitor who didn't know their partners

I'm confused about how this will help you read me tbh but I hope it works!

because last game i was tring you based on your play during the day, which is why i wanted you to join the hood. uninformed traitor play is about the equivalent of town IMO

[Vex Vience]

Wow. So far not a single person besides Ration scumreads us atm. not even his lover.

Frankly if Tbone is scum he'll come back and super get rid of Ration with distancing. So I guess atm we can solve the solos instead.

Amazing, right? Then why did Anastasia unvote me? Why did Llama do the same? You think nobody is scumreading you? They're just scared to pick a fight.

unvoting doesn’t mean their scumread magically goes away though?

[Vex Vience]

Ana did all that without in any shape or form you showing up to agree with or support her, implying lack of dynergy and lack of off-thread (this thread) chat where things are secretly being orchestrated.

also what the fuck is this post? maybe kerset hadn’t checked the thread yet? you’re assuming these things are townie when there’s another explanation to them that makes more sense

[Vex Vience]

Anastasia and Kerset

Both have displayed signs of having independent agendas without seeking approval and synergy with the partner within the pairings (lacking live day-chat and wanting badly to scumhunt from the get-go results in this) as well as dedication to voting off a scumread that entails willingness to be voted off first or afterwards.

Did you just judge my synergy with Ana, before my appearance?

If you flip it around, yes.

Ana would wait to make such aove and definitely before keeping it going if you were scum together, that's why I townread you two very hard, she kept wanting to vote me through to elimination no matter what I did and only rethought things ironically after I said vote me off and then vote Vex off but that is actually a Towntell to unvote there because Scum is likely to keep tunneling me or after unvoting would turn on the other pair, she just unvoted and stopped posting, indicating genuine authentic confusion and hesitation.

or, get this, maybe both town *and* scum would be confused by the fact you wanted to be eliminated after claiming lover, and when your lover hadn’t posted very much at all? like, i don’t get your logic here at all.

[Vex Vience]

im also currently at work still, so that’s why im posting sporadically anf out of order

[Vex Vience]

also what the fuck is this post? maybe kerset hadn’t checked the thread yet? you’re assuming these things are townie when there’s another explanation to them that makes more sense

?

RM is assuming that kerset hadn't checked the thread and is saying that Ana being willing to engage as heavily as she did without Kerset's support is a towntell. I disagree, since ime very few people actually coordinate in scum PTs instead of playing an individual game, but you're clearly missing the thrust of his argument.

maybe i am, but the argument doesn’t make very much sense to me anyways.
while i’m here, sell to me the fact your lover is town. i’m making a scum case for them, so i wanna see your side of it

[Vex Vience]

So... I think it's fairly obvious that LF thinks he found a setup exploit. Regardless of whether he did or not, do you think he shares the setup exploit as scum?

I wasn't asking this to hear myself think, I'd actually like answers.

imo yes, because if he says he found it and doesn’t share, we wagon them so they have to share it, and even then, the wagon would probably go through anyways depending on how many people, not to mention they’re single
also because if you’re scum and you share that, odds are you get hard-cleared and deepwolf to melo and win from there

[Vex Vience]

while i’m here, sell to me the fact your lover is town. i’m making a scum case for them, so i wanna see your side of it

Nothing he's done has actually had a scum motivation? He's barking at squirrels, but it's pretty easy to see that he thinks the squirrels are scum indicative.

Read his ISO and tell me that any of what he's said comes from someone who doesn't 100% believe himself to be right, regardless of whether he is or is not right.

so you think his “elim me then ana” thing before you had a chance to post and his 180 from me being town to suddenly me being scum comes from town?

[Vex Vience]

give me a few to dry myself off and get onto my laptop and i’ll pull up specific quotes i think aren’t townie

[Vex Vience]

I informed Bingle

that we don't talk past D1's

start as Bingle asked it in the PT and I'd already asked, it was a passing comment among the bigger discussion

hang on, really quickly, as i'm looking through rm's post: "we don't talk past d1s start"
that strikes me as really weird? like, i'd expect it to be phrased as "we can't talk past d1's start" not "we don't talk past d1s start"?
i want everyone's opinion on this as well

[Vex Vience]

Spoiler: lots of quotes

Sure it implies that but you knowing that amd answering so rapidly makes me Townread you now. I am also a lover and my partner I will keep secret for now unless you want me to out him/her/them.

It says that yes, it doesn't say you can't talk further than that.

Rapidly, correctly and even got angry that I'd tedt yoy woth something yoy found trivial for scum to solve. It is all towny

2) i didn't get angry. i don't know where you're getting that from.
3) obviously i'd answer correctly even if i was scum, because if i didn't i'd instantly out the fact i'm scum.

none of this implicates me as town as well. this is all just nai.

Not sure how to reply that you seemed angry and aggressive without indirectly insulting your self-awareness but let's say I'm wrong.

In my wrong interpretation of your response to me, you were aggressive, upset that I'd ask what you find so easy and now furthermore hostile towards me because I townread you for said reaction.

It is indeed alignment indicative, your aggression is what Town has in this setup more than Scum. Town is panicking and alert because it os the equivalent of complete darkness in an environment where only scum has night vosion goggles and unloke other setups, not a single bit of that vision will in any shape or form become passively clearer as things progress via investigation results. This meams Town feels much more pressure to do something and hunt while Scum wants the game as laid-back as possible.

I don't understand Ana's reasoning at all, I believe she's the fake pair at present.

However I don't like Bambi's entry at all, it seems designed to make me feel soothed and remain hostile to the Anastasia lover pair instead

Ok vote me out idgaf, enjoy the loss if you're town and never ever vote someone on this bullshit reasoning again. If you're scum well dome you won by BS reasoning, that is if you aren't voted out next. Do it, vote me, I won't gamethrow amd vote myself.

Vote me. I don't want to be in this shit situation later on where clearly everyone is biased and too incapable to read to townread me and bingle based on bias, better to eliminate me with the free miselimination

This isn't WIFOM eliminate me right now and then eliminate Anastasia's pair, she deserves to lose wothe if Town pushing for no fucking reason

I informed Bingle that we don't talk past D1's start as Bingle asked it in the PT and I'd already asked, it was a passing comment among the bigger discussion

Anastasia pretends to nit understand why I'd panic as a Lover who has someone else dying with me in a setup where only five votes are required to vote me out when two are against me and one of them is a non-lover.

I am now extremely certain I was wrong, when you vote me out vote Vex and Bambi after me. I was incorrect. Anastasia is being cleverly pitted against me and Bambi and Vex are feigning hesitation to justify thebvote one and disassociate later

VOTE: Vex Vince

Ana's pair is the town pair with me and bingle, Vex and Bambi are laughing in scum chat olaying both sides of this, it's very blatant.

I am absolutely certain of this read now.

We aren't friends here, one of our pairs directly wants the others to lose. Stop this act. I don't respect any of you less than any other. You're all trash and all amazing in your own ways, I focus on tells and indication of scum. If I think you're scum, I'll vote a d encourage others to. Idc if I reapect your lover partner like a god, I vote you.

Bambi is trying to seem inquisitive and understanding but if you properly analyse it, it's just positioning the pair of Vex and Bambi perfectly so both lover pairs Ana vs Rational can get voted off.


I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

Yoy didn't push me, you played the middle and still are. Anastasia pushed me even after I said I was willing to go down, meaning it probably does add up that her read was genuine and she was ready to hard-gamble on it. Also Anastasia's responses were solely designed towards further getting others to scumread me which is Towny tunneling, not scummy tunneling as she knew very well if I flip Town how it looks on her. I also like that she did all this without her lover partner being around or backing her up, it is a very Towny dynamic where the Lover pair are running on independent initatives whereas you and Bambi seem artificially united in all ways.

all of these posts i struggle to see how town gets to this conclusion. like, i'm not following this entire thought process of "vex is town, ana is scum" to "i don't like bambi, but i still like vex" to a sudden "ok elim me then" after their scumread pushes them with zero chance of actually being elim'd in that moment to all of the sudden "ok i was wrong after some posts completely irrelevant to who the scum lover is—vex is now scum and ana has to be town"

[Vex Vience]

like, i don't actually see how town can get to that conclusion *this* early in the game

So... I think it's fairly obvious that LF thinks he found a setup exploit. Regardless of whether he did or not, do you think he shares the setup exploit as scum?

I wasn't asking this to hear myself think, I'd actually like answers.

imo yes, because if he says he found it and doesn’t share, we wagon them so they have to share it, and even then, the wagon would probably go through anyways depending on how many people, not to mention they’re single
also because if you’re scum and you share that, odds are you get hard-cleared and deepwolf to melo and win from there

Why out that he's found a setup exploit at all? Do you think LF thinks someone else is likely to have picked up on the fact the scum sample roles only have one PT link?

1) like you said, llama thinks they found one. why lie about it if you're town or scum? i already said why scum and town would do it.
2) if anyone, it would've been me who would've. i didn't care that much about reading the scum pms because i was more concerned with figuring out mech play before the game started, plus i had work so i wasn't able to really sit down and read the game

[Vex Vience]

I informed Bingle

that we don't talk past D1's

start as Bingle asked it in the PT and I'd already asked, it was a passing comment among the bigger discussion

hang on, really quickly, as i'm looking through rm's post: "we don't talk past d1s start"
that strikes me as really weird? like, i'd expect it to be phrased as "we can't talk past d1's start" not "we don't talk past d1s start"?
i want everyone's opinion on this as well

I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

grammar doesnt matter in this context kerset. it's the phrasing that matters.

[Vex Vience]

cant and dont mean two entirely different things.
cant means you cannot do that—ie, you don't have the ability to do so.
dont means you will not do that—ie, you have the ability to do so, but you refuse to do so.

[Vex Vience]

so you think his “elim me then ana” thing before you had a chance to post and his 180 from me being town to suddenly me being scum comes from town?

I mean... I know it comes from town. I'm an informed party.

I think it's ridiculous, but that doesn't make it any less true.

The question is, does that progression come from scum any more often than it comes from town? To which I think the answer is pretty obvious. If someone is aggressive enough to have the thought as scum they're equally likely to have the thought as town.

his full read progression goes from presumable scumread on me, to townread because i actually read the setup which is questionable at best, to suddenly scumreading me based on very little. sure, i agree town can change their mind on reads, but they normally change their reads when something occurs, not on a whim like that, especially after saying they thought i was very townie

[Vex Vience]

also jingle, can you confirm what rm said in 33 is correct?

I had to ask the mod to find out as bothy partner and I were confused but what you say is indeed the truth.

this is referring to the fact that the lover pt is locked at the start of d1

[Vex Vience]

1) like you said, llama thinks they found one. why lie about it if you're town or scum? i already said why scum and town would do it.

If as scum you think it's unlikely to be found as town, why bring it up at all?

FWIW, I'm forging ahead here because setup wise if we can locktown a Loverpair and a VT successfully we win the game almost all of the time. This setup is just like dance game from that perspective.

also because if you’re scum and you share that, odds are you get hard-cleared and deepwolf to melo and win from there

[Vex Vience]

@rm, i want you to explain what caused you to go from townreading me, to suddenly scumreading me, on top of explaining your logic in the following quotes:

Spoiler:

I am now extremely certain I was wrong, when you vote me out vote Vex and Bambi after me. I was incorrect. Anastasia is being cleverly pitted against me and Bambi and Vex are feigning hesitation to justify thebvote one and disassociate later

Ana's pair is the town pair with me and bingle, Vex and Bambi are laughing in scum chat olaying both sides of this, it's very blatant.

Today is Bingle andyself vs Vex and Bambi do not let them play any sides against each other anymore.

We aren't friends here, one of our pairs directly wants the others to lose. Stop this act. I don't respect any of you less than any other. You're all trash and all amazing in your own ways, I focus on tells and indication of scum. If I think you're scum, I'll vote a d encourage others to. Idc if I reapect your lover partner like a god, I vote you.

Bambi is trying to seem inquisitive and understanding but if you properly analyse it, it's just positioning the pair of Vex and Bambi perfectly so both lover pairs Ana vs Rational can get voted off.


I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

Lovers

Town

RM and Bingle (of course)
Anastasia and Kerset

Both have displayed signs of having independent agendas without seeking approval and synergy with the partner within the pairings (lacking live day-chat and wanting badly to scumhunt from the get-go results in this) as well as dedication to voting off a scumread that entails willingness to be voted off first or afterwards.

Scum

Vex Vience and Bambi Jay

Too much to name even,

Generic posts full of fluff to seem Towny, proudly proclaiming oneself to be a passionately mechanical player in a setup that involves almost 0% mechanics... The only time I ask a mechanical question, expresses annoyance at me asking it since it is apparently too easy to decipher from the PM (which left it open to interpretation). This could be Towny on its own however... Since then, played both sides the millisecond it appeared as an opportunity, and operate as a pair throughout.

Bambi appears less sure of who is scum than Vex but both blatantly are playing both sides between the Lover pairs, Vex is only claiming to scumread me because it's convenient to claim and agreed with Anastasia while leaving full blame on Ana for the elimination when and if it occured, Vex also didn't dedicate with a vote despite claiming to have a read on me as scum and still passionately claims to have it with secret reasoning that is too precious to rush to release...

Junk, fluff, obfuscation... You come with what you want as a term, the posts are full of it.

_______________________________________________________________________

Lone/Solo

All three Null but T-bone very strange and forced interaction early on followed by nothing.

Llamafluff has successfully positioned into being an active and therefore blatantly default-towniest player but keeps trying to overplay this position, encouraging the entire game to switch dynamics and focus on the solo vanillas while knowing full well that the other 2 haven't towntold at all (Klick hasn't even posted yet).

Kerset and Klick both must post for us to sufficiently read but at the moment I would say that it's actually more certain of an elimination in the Lovers than the vanillas so I don't get the complaint from Llama, however that is because I know my pair is Town and have a strong read on which of the other two isn't.

We aren't friends here, one of our pairs directly wants the others to lose. Stop this act. I don't respect any of you less than any other. You're all trash and all amazing in your own ways, I focus on tells and indication of scum. If I think you're scum, I'll vote a d encourage others to. Idc if I reapect your lover partner like a god, I vote you.

Bambi is trying to seem inquisitive and understanding but if you properly analyse it, it's just positioning the pair of Vex and Bambi perfectly so both lover pairs Ana vs Rational can get voted off.


I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

1) why is pushing someone who appears to be scummy wanting the others to lose? isn't that the entire point of mafia? to find the scum and push them? yes, obviously not all town will be perfectly townie, and not all scum will be scummy. but trying to push a scumread isn't gamethrowing like you're equating.
2) i really don't like all the spelling errors, because that means i have to take more time to actually figure out what you're saying. no offense to you, but if i'm spending a significant part of my time while reading the game simply trying to figure out what you're saying, i'm going to want to policy yeet you *just* so i don't have to read your stuff.

Yoy didn't push me, you played the middle and still are. Anastasia pushed me even after I said I was willing to go down, meaning it probably does add up that her read was genuine and she was ready to hard-gamble on it. Also Anastasia's responses were solely designed towards further getting others to scumread me which is Towny tunneling, not scummy tunneling as she knew very well if I flip Town how it looks on her. I also like that she did all this without her lover partner being around or backing her up, it is a very Towny dynamic where the Lover pair are running on independent initatives whereas you and Bambi seem artificially united in all ways.

i also want you to elaborate fully on your case against us. if i'm making a full scumcase against you, i want you to do the same

[Vex Vience]

also this quote:

If you think Bingle and me are Town this is useful to disarm us as you're trying to create rapport with Bingle after failing to with me.

Both VV and Bambi know better than to try to pocket me.

Arrogance will be our downfall, never underestimate your capacity to be manipulated by someone. Bambi is playing to disarm me via you.

[Vex Vience]

kerest what is your read on me then?

[Vex Vience]

kerest what is your read on me then?

You are more aggressive then usually. In my memory you were clumsy.

keep in mind, this is my tryhard alt

[Vex Vience]

Spoiler: case

@tbone it's because i'm a very mechanical-based player, and if i get focused on something, (eg massclaim at the start to figure out the game from there), i tend to hyperfixate on it.

This setup is 0% mechanical in how things will play out, why would you even sign up for it? This comes down entirely to reads, not sure I townread your lover pair at all yet.

first, the question about "why would you sign up for a game if you're a very mechanical player" comes off as weird, but is mostly nai to me. it's only the bit about not tring me that i really don't like.
second, i don't like how he's saying "not townreading." he later goes on and uses it as the equivalent to scumreading, which doesn't sit right with me considering he goes on to actually tr me based on flimsy reasons.

T-bone is acting strangely 'I dosagree with you but we're cool right?' I don't Townread it. Vex's entry I default to a Town read for sure. Love that he cautioned the massclaim coming too soon but... Why did he then out instantly?

Regardless, Llama and also Bingle default Town for me.

i agree with the llama read, but not the bingle read at this point in the game. this now makes sense seeing as bingle is their lover, but at the time, this felt really weird.
note as well, they're meaning llama and not me.

Vote RM

Do you think players will read you differently if you claim or not claim?

Yes, I do and Scum will struggle to know hownhard to hide their lover aprtner vs VT partner, the interactions will leak tells later on.

this post makes no sense to me from a town!pov. if you're town, it doesn't matter to them about how hard they're hiding their lover/goon partners—they know you're town regardless.

Sorry I said Vex:s entry I meant Llama's entey, brain fart.

I can't even explain the brainf art but I confused the lion avatar with Vex for no explainable reason, I meant I default Llama's entry to Town as well as Bingle's.

these two posts literally add nothing. i'd be fine with the first one correcting the second one, but the second post explaining it feels very TMI to me.

I actually nullread Vex anyway, however I scumread T-bone.

clarification about what his reads are. i guess it makes sense from a town pov to do something like this to get reactions, but at the same time not really?

Vex Vience, can you and bambi talk im the PT during the day?

(This doesn't confirm me as vanilla townie), I am curious how rapidly you answer and what the answer is.

I ask as you're online rn.

this post feels very awkward to me. "hey you said you're a lover, can you and your lover talk in your pt during the day? i'm also not confirmed to be vt because of this" is just a very weird position. looking at it as if the two of them were scum also leads me to believe that this is an attempt to get the town lover pair to publicly confirm if they can talk so they can keep a story straight.

Sure it implies that but you knowing that amd answering so rapidly makes me Townread you now. I am also a lover and my partner I will keep secret for now unless you want me to out him/her/them.

It says that yes, it doesn't say you can't talk further than that.

this post just makes zero sense, especially the latter part. like yes it does actually say that town lovers can't talk past the start of d1, and it does say that scum in general can talk past d1?
and also, the tr on me makes no sense, but i guess it could possibly come from town? it seems more like an attempt at pocketing because the tr is based solely on the fact i read the setup.

I had to ask the mod to find out as bothy partner and I were confused but what you say is indeed the truth.

tbf, i didn't think the wording was confusing, but i wanted to have mod-confirmation that the pt would be locked, which would give me an incentive to actually try to get mech play down at the very start. i feel like being confused about if the pt is gonna be locked comes from scum more often in this, because not only do scum lack the lover pt, they only have the one pt.

Rapidly, correctly and even got angry that I'd tedt yoy woth something yoy found trivial for scum to solve. It is all towny

i still don't like the fact he's trying to portray me as getting angry at him for asking me to literally read the setup.

@RM - What exactly changed between not wanting to claim and when you did? Just trap setting or something else?

I have a vote against me and another lover pair is going to ge fenraged at me over it soon and I happen to now read one of them as Town so it doesn't serve me to withhold the claim as I mechanically questioned Vex and he passed the test but as a VT I couldn't necessarily do so at that point without leaking I am a lover.

My partner and I decided it's better not to out each other or roles but my oartner did warn me that if people demand it I should just give in.

i don't see how the single vote against, and the other lover pair equates to having to reveal you're a lover at that exact point. if they were town, they could've just kept it hidden and seen if the scum lovers would've revealed they're lovers. i feel like this comes from scum realizing i've said that if only two pairs reveal, they're both ics, and they want to get that conf!town status.

2) i didn't get angry. i don't know where you're getting that from.
3) obviously i'd answer correctly even if i was scum, because if i didn't i'd instantly out the fact i'm scum.

none of this implicates me as town as well. this is all just nai.

Not sure how to reply that you seemed angry and aggressive without indirectly insulting your self-awareness but let's say I'm wrong.

In my wrong interpretation of your response to me, you were aggressive, upset that I'd ask what you find so easy and now furthermore hostile towards me because I townread you for said reaction.

It is indeed alignment indicative, your aggression is what Town has in this setup more than Scum. Town is panicking and alert because it os the equivalent of complete darkness in an environment where only scum has night vosion goggles and unloke other setups, not a single bit of that vision will in any shape or form become passively clearer as things progress via investigation results. This meams Town feels much more pressure to do something and hunt while Scum wants the game as laid-back as possible.

once again, they're trying to portray emotions onto my post which i feel like is a blatant attempt at trying to pocket me.
i also don't get the analogy whatsoever, but if it makes sense to them, i guess that's cool.
i would also like to note, it does feel like rm has convinction in their words at this point about me being scum, which makes their later 180 on me very questionable

Im just trying to feel this all out because maybe im more drunk than I think... so claiming is a null tell now? Im just trying to read where everyone is in pro/anti claim and how (if at all) they see it alignment wise.

Claiming is always a nulltell but my actual role is going to help scum, who will prefer to pile on lone VTs to easier know to avoid picking on me. If they know my partner, it will help them pile on us both at once rather than accidentally townreading my partner so it's harder to justify later (or vice versa).

you can be scummy and your lover be town though? like, that's what i don't get with this. also, why would claiming help scum? scum have to get two miselims in a row to win pretty much, and if we flip a vt, we're obviously gonna look at the wagon so like, why would scum wanna pile onto the vts like that?

Sure, thry votr you after I flip, deal Ana?

rm i feel is acknowledging the fact that ana claimed lovers, and then goes on to say this:

Ana doesn't claim just votes me, so I'm assuming she is claiming lover if it's Vex vs myself in her eyes.

ana literally said she wants her ic card, *after i said that lovers are effectively ics*. like, that is literally just claiming lover without directly stating "hey i'm lover"

Voting me so impulsively on anoure gut read isntt what Town would do here. She's risking two Lovers die if she's Town solely based on a fluttering read.

this reasoning doesn't make sense to me either. ana literally provided her reasoning, saying that she liked my posting more than rm's, which leads her to believe that i'm town and that rm is scum.

Doesn't make any sense at all. I am being scumread because Vex seems to know the setup, makes absolutely not logical sense at all, I am assuming Ana is softclaiming Lover because of her vote being based on Townreading Vex

once again, going with "i'm not sure ana is lover"

I'm liver with bingle

this is nai, but i wanted to just include it so we have it in the case. this occured after ana claimed lover as well.

What fucking reasoning am I being voted vased on, Vex seeming to know the setup? Being confident? You townread confidence?

rm apparently doesn't know the reasoning why they're being voted, but states they want ana to flip after they do, like ???
how do you get to this without reading the rest of the post, especially after you say you type with poor grammar on purpose so people have to read your own posts?

Her voting me also blackmailed me to out my partner which I explicitly said I wanted to stall to release reads

they never said they wanted to stall; rather, they said they would out if i asked them to. so ???

I townread VV's belief that he's pushing to solve/win the game for the townside.

There is nothing to solve this is an open setup...

this post just sits weirdly with me. i commented on it already, but it still sits weirdly with me.

The only thing to solve was who are the pairs and singles and alignment hut you've ruined the first part

i don't like the "i want to keep lovers secret" type of thing. it kinda feels like scum wanting to hopefully get an easy victory after quickhammering a lover who didn't reveal that. additionally, why would town not want to have lovers outed when it makes the game easier to solve?

We're all equally likely to be scum as each other regardless of OGI respect

this post just feels very out of place? like, why state the obvious here?

I don't understand what is happening here. I am being scumread based on overconfidence of Vex and my oartner is being told he is respected so I will be given mercy? Stupid reasoning. Bambi's post is fluff to reassure me instead of attacking or defending

this post just doesn't sit very well with me. bambi's post was literally saying "i don't wanna kill you yet because your partner hasn't had a chance to defend themselves yet"
how is that stupid reasoning and/or fluff?
(this post is also quoted by rm just below it)

Respect being "it would make me feel bad if I killed them before they can defend themself". I do respect most people that aren't hard lurkers and/or mostly jerks.

Lurkers and jerks can be town just as easily as any other player type. You should be just as ready to eliminate any player as another at any gamestart (in this case not the lover partner).

i don't see the town motivation in saying something like this. "you should always be ready to kill someone, even if they haven't been able to defend themselves yet"
like, mate, do you not realize if we elim two lovers or two vts, we lose? like, of course we want to give people time to defend themselves, plus it hasn't even been a full irl day.

I didn't want to out my partner exactly so any respect or disrespect to one didn't tarnish reads on the other, use your brains.

this directly contridicts what he said in 32:

I am also a lover and my partner I will keep secret for now unless you want me to out him/her/them.

---

Also it is only scum who'd want to rush the day, why would Town want to rush the vote here? This setup is 100% tells-based no investigations to rush towards

once again, this contridicts an earlier statement. he wants us to be ready to elim someone at the start of the game, and then goes on to say "oh only scum would wanna do that" like what?? how the fuck are you *this* inconsistent?

However I don't like Bambi's entry at all, it seems designed to make me feel soothed and remain hostile to the Anastasia lover pair instead

i looked at bambi's entrance, and i didn't notice anything particularly weird about it? it makes sense to me as a reasonable human being thing to do in a game?

Ok vote me out idgaf, enjoy the loss if you're town and never ever vote someone on this bullshit reasoning again. If you're scum well dome you won by BS reasoning, that is if you aren't voted out next. Do it, vote me, I won't gamethrow amd vote myself.

Vote me. I don't want to be in this shit situation later on where clearly everyone is biased and too incapable to read to townread me and bingle based on bias, better to eliminate me with the free miselimination

This isn't WIFOM eliminate me right now and then eliminate Anastasia's pair, she deserves to lose wothe if Town pushing for no fucking reason

with no pressure on him, he starts saying this, which doesn't feel like a town thing to do. at all. there was no pressure on them, so there was zero reason to all of the sudden switch to "elim me"??

Or she or they I am mot sure of Bingle pronoun

this just takes up space for no reason, and i don't like it. like, i get trying to follow the pronoun rules and stuff, but honestly, i don't like this post.

I don't understand what is happening here. I am being scumread based on overconfidence of Vex and my oartner is being told he is respected so I will be given mercy? Stupid reasoning. Bambi's post is fluff to reassure me instead of attacking or defending

I am literally not voting you only because I wanna talk to Bingle. Don't try and attack me for showing mercy.

Also Ana if you wanna convince me it's those 2 instead of you be my guest.

Don't ever show mercy to scum in this game. If you think I am scum vote without any mercy, if you dobt hesitate for solely selfish reasons. Always play to win, never to be nice.

the don't hesistate to elim me thing just strikes me as weird. i don't know how to phrase it exactly, but it's the entire "elim me now" type of thing i'm not liking.

I informed Bingle that we don't talk past D1's start as Bingle asked it in the PT and I'd already asked, it was a passing comment among the bigger discussion

once again the phrasing of "we don't talk past d1" just feels very weird. i'd expect can't, but not don't.

i don't like that reasoning rm.
you're claiming lover, meaning i have to read your slot as the combination of two players. i'm not gonna yeet a player on page five because i think they're scum in the pseudo-rvs stage of the game

I don't like any of your reasoning either, doesn't matter if we like each other's reasoning, just mattersnif our own is solid or not.

"i don't like your reasoning, but i'm still townreading you because of stuff you did earlier" - this makes sense how?

RM I really don't understand your reaction from a TownPOV..

Because like you have only 1 vote on you? Maybe 3 if Bambi/VV vote you?

Kerset hasn't even joined the game yet.. The level of desperation you're throwing out feels not very much like it should be coming from a townPOV

I'm almost feeling like you are trying to sink your own ship to obfuscate who your partner is?

I had two, liar.

bringing this up is important how? it just feels like rm is trying to throw out posts to clog the thread.

Anastasia pretends to nit understand why I'd panic as a Lover who has someone else dying with me in a setup where only five votes are required to vote me out when two are against me and one of them is a non-lover.

he goes from wanting to be elim'd to suddenly saying that he cares about jingle dying alongside him, when the entire point of us not eliming them at that very moment was to give jingle time to talk? what
how does this make *any* sense from a town!pov?

I am now extremely certain I was wrong, when you vote me out vote Vex and Bambi after me. I was incorrect. Anastasia is being cleverly pitted against me and Bambi and Vex are feigning hesitation to justify thebvote one and disassociate later

VOTE: Vex Vince

Ana's pair is the town pair with me and bingle, Vex and Bambi are laughing in scum chat olaying both sides of this, it's very blatant.

I am absolutely certain of this read now.

the following quotes happen in the space of this sudden change of heart:

Ah if only I got Jingle bells or one of the list mods or something and I got the be the bad cop to their good cop and shit. That would've been fun.

Dang it Ana you better not be evil after proven to be a player after my own style. I'd feel sad now.

My heart is pure <3

Pure evil huh

i'm feeling more and more confident on ana being town, and rm being scum ngl

You were quick to tell me what's NAI, what is AI that I or Ana has done

so what's the issue here then? if it's two townies, then the third one joins in, scum can't quickhammer because that exposes them
if it's two scum, scum can't quickhammer because not enough people

@mod

- Can you confirm all sent roles are word for word/link for link identical to sample ones?

No one should be worrying about quickhammer here really I think, but at least be warry of where its at. Like no E-2 unless you are fine with it going through.

Pure evil huh

As innocent as the first snow flowers falling on Hokkaido in November.

this also has zero reason about why this change occurs, and he never elaborates on it. i get it, that town will change their opinion, but normally, they provide a reasoning, not just sudden 180.

---

Vote me and then vote vex or bambi either works since it's same pair

once again, he changes his stance from "i care about jingle dyign alongside me" to suddenly "nah i don't care anymore" like make up your mind ffs.

Maybe it's correct and he wants us to murder Rational quickly to get it over with.

Disgusting OGI read that is false, a 'haja I was only kidding' remark to influence others to pile on me. The 'maybe' is a slip of consistently displayed assurance that I am actually Town shown from Bambi towards me.

he doesn't seem to realize that bambi was joking about this, and takes it as if it's entirely serious? like, i know i have a hard time grasping jokes in situations like this, but i felt like that was pretty blatant.

Today is Bingle andyself vs Vex and Bambi do not let them play any sides against each other anymore.

he doesn't even explain how we're playing sides.

This is a game. I want to have fun. Let me meme in peace or I literally just can tunnel you while not talking instead.

Also sup Bingle. Good to see ya.

Go ahead, don't empty threat. I want this to be you vs us.

this post indicates to me that he is dead-set in me/bambi scum, yet never explains the read.

Oh yeah speaking of the word respect... Ration went hard on me for showing mercy? Do you know why Bingle? Like... Explain to me his thought process for me. He'll just yell at me if I ask him.

If you think me and Bingle are scum what use os this post?

If you think Bingle and me are Town this is useful to disarm us as you're trying to create rapport with Bingle after failing to with me.

or, get this, maybe we're trying to ask jingle about you, because you refuse to elaborate on your logic, and because we've said this entire time that we're waiting for jingle to read and catchup before actually doing shit.

If you think Bingle and me are Town this is useful to disarm us as you're trying to create rapport with Bingle after failing to with me.

Both VV and Bambi know better than to try to pocket me.

Arrogance will be our downfall, never underestimate your capacity to be manipulated by someone. Bambi is playing to disarm me via you.

once again, this is never explained.

We aren't friends here, one of our pairs directly wants the others to lose. Stop this act. I don't respect any of you less than any other. You're all trash and all amazing in your own ways, I focus on tells and indication of scum. If I think you're scum, I'll vote a d encourage others to. Idc if I reapect your lover partner like a god, I vote you.

Bambi is trying to seem inquisitive and understanding but if you properly analyse it, it's just positioning the pair of Vex and Bambi perfectly so both lover pairs Ana vs Rational can get voted off.


I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

1) why is pushing someone who appears to be scummy wanting the others to lose? isn't that the entire point of mafia? to find the scum and push them? yes, obviously not all town will be perfectly townie, and not all scum will be scummy. but trying to push a scumread isn't gamethrowing like you're equating.
2) i really don't like all the spelling errors, because that means i have to take more time to actually figure out what you're saying. no offense to you, but if i'm spending a significant part of my time while reading the game simply trying to figure out what you're saying, i'm going to want to policy yeet you *just* so i don't have to read your stuff.

Yoy didn't push me, you played the middle and still are. Anastasia pushed me even after I said I was willing to go down, meaning it probably does add up that her read was genuine and she was ready to hard-gamble on it. Also Anastasia's responses were solely designed towards further getting others to scumread me which is Towny tunneling, not scummy tunneling as she knew very well if I flip Town how it looks on her. I also like that she did all this without her lover partner being around or backing her up, it is a very Towny dynamic where the Lover pair are running on independent initatives whereas you and Bambi seem artificially united in all ways.

once again, not reading the fact we're waiting on jingle to show up before i do anything. i also never played the middle, i have very explicitly stated that i thought kerest/ana were town.

i think you're scum. i'm not pushing you because it's way too early for me to do so. i want everyone to post, and weigh in on this before i actually commit to pushing you. i also want to talk to your lover, because talking to you is about as productive as talking to a brick wall.
i will gladly provide a full case on why i think you're scum later in the day after we have more time to discuss things, and when i'm not about to sleep.

You think it now, give the case right now, no time to make shit up or use later information.

he's expecting me to make a full case at 3 a.m. when i have work at 11 a.m. and i stated i was going to sleep. this post is inheriently nai, but it makes me very angry so i'm including it.
this case has been two hours in the making as of writing this. i am not making a full-case like this at 3 a.m.

it's page eight. your lover hasn't chimed in that much.
about half of the players haven't even said anything yet.
please explain to me in what world does me pushing a scumread this early makes any sense.

You don't have any read on me, you're just grasping at straws.

trying to claim i don't have a read on them when poe would dictate that they're scum, and the fact i've stated i think they're scum multiple times already.

Lovers

Town

RM and Bingle (of course)
Anastasia and Kerset

Both have displayed signs of having independent agendas without seeking approval and synergy with the partner within the pairings (lacking live day-chat and wanting badly to scumhunt from the get-go results in this) as well as dedication to voting off a scumread that entails willingness to be voted off first or afterwards.

Scum

Vex Vience and Bambi Jay

Too much to name even,

Generic posts full of fluff to seem Towny, proudly proclaiming oneself to be a passionately mechanical player in a setup that involves almost 0% mechanics... The only time I ask a mechanical question, expresses annoyance at me asking it since it is apparently too easy to decipher from the PM (which left it open to interpretation). This could be Towny on its own however... Since then, played both sides the millisecond it appeared as an opportunity, and operate as a pair throughout.

Bambi appears less sure of who is scum than Vex but both blatantly are playing both sides between the Lover pairs, Vex is only claiming to scumread me because it's convenient to claim and agreed with Anastasia while leaving full blame on Ana for the elimination when and if it occured, Vex also didn't dedicate with a vote despite claiming to have a read on me as scum and still passionately claims to have it with secret reasoning that is too precious to rush to release...

Junk, fluff, obfuscation... You come with what you want as a term, the posts are full of it.

Lone/Solo

All three Null but T-bone very strange and forced interaction early on followed by nothing.

Llamafluff has successfully positioned into being an active and therefore blatantly default-towniest player but keeps trying to overplay this position, encouraging the entire game to switch dynamics and focus on the solo vanillas while knowing full well that the other 2 haven't towntold at all (Klick hasn't even posted yet).

Kerset and Klick both must post for us to sufficiently read but at the moment I would say that it's actually more certain of an elimination in the Lovers than the vanillas so I don't get the complaint from Llama, however that is because I know my pair is Town and have a strong read on which of the other two isn't.

once again, i never said i was annoyed at him for this, but he apparently thinks i am. he also never explains his train of thought about how he got there.

tl;dr

- i think rm is scum based on the fact they constantly keep 180ing their opinions, contridict themselves multiple times throughout mulitple posts, and then makes claims like me and bambi being scum, yet never actually backs it up with anything, making it seem like they're just shit out there to see if they can build support for it.

VOTE: rm

[Vex Vience]

Spoiler: case

@tbone it's because i'm a very mechanical-based player, and if i get focused on something, (eg massclaim at the start to figure out the game from there), i tend to hyperfixate on it.

This setup is 0% mechanical in how things will play out, why would you even sign up for it? This comes down entirely to reads, not sure I townread your lover pair at all yet.

first, the question about "why would you sign up for a game if you're a very mechanical player" comes off as weird, but is mostly nai to me. it's only the bit about not tring me that i really don't like.
second, i don't like how he's saying "not townreading." he later goes on and uses it as the equivalent to scumreading, which doesn't sit right with me considering he goes on to actually tr me based on flimsy reasons.

T-bone is acting strangely 'I dosagree with you but we're cool right?' I don't Townread it. Vex's entry I default to a Town read for sure. Love that he cautioned the massclaim coming too soon but... Why did he then out instantly?

Regardless, Llama and also Bingle default Town for me.

i agree with the llama read, but not the bingle read at this point in the game. this now makes sense seeing as bingle is their lover, but at the time, this felt really weird.
note as well, they're meaning llama and not me.

Vote RM

Do you think players will read you differently if you claim or not claim?

Yes, I do and Scum will struggle to know hownhard to hide their lover aprtner vs VT partner, the interactions will leak tells later on.

this post makes no sense to me from a town!pov. if you're town, it doesn't matter to them about how hard they're hiding their lover/goon partners—they know you're town regardless.

Sorry I said Vex:s entry I meant Llama's entey, brain fart.

I can't even explain the brainf art but I confused the lion avatar with Vex for no explainable reason, I meant I default Llama's entry to Town as well as Bingle's.

these two posts literally add nothing. i'd be fine with the first one correcting the second one, but the second post explaining it feels very TMI to me.

I actually nullread Vex anyway, however I scumread T-bone.

clarification about what his reads are. i guess it makes sense from a town pov to do something like this to get reactions, but at the same time not really?

Vex Vience, can you and bambi talk im the PT during the day?

(This doesn't confirm me as vanilla townie), I am curious how rapidly you answer and what the answer is.

I ask as you're online rn.

this post feels very awkward to me. "hey you said you're a lover, can you and your lover talk in your pt during the day? i'm also not confirmed to be vt because of this" is just a very weird position. looking at it as if the two of them were scum also leads me to believe that this is an attempt to get the town lover pair to publicly confirm if they can talk so they can keep a story straight.

Sure it implies that but you knowing that amd answering so rapidly makes me Townread you now. I am also a lover and my partner I will keep secret for now unless you want me to out him/her/them.

It says that yes, it doesn't say you can't talk further than that.

this post just makes zero sense, especially the latter part. like yes it does actually say that town lovers can't talk past the start of d1, and it does say that scum in general can talk past d1?
and also, the tr on me makes no sense, but i guess it could possibly come from town? it seems more like an attempt at pocketing because the tr is based solely on the fact i read the setup.

I had to ask the mod to find out as bothy partner and I were confused but what you say is indeed the truth.

tbf, i didn't think the wording was confusing, but i wanted to have mod-confirmation that the pt would be locked, which would give me an incentive to actually try to get mech play down at the very start. i feel like being confused about if the pt is gonna be locked comes from scum more often in this, because not only do scum lack the lover pt, they only have the one pt.

Rapidly, correctly and even got angry that I'd tedt yoy woth something yoy found trivial for scum to solve. It is all towny

i still don't like the fact he's trying to portray me as getting angry at him for asking me to literally read the setup.

@RM - What exactly changed between not wanting to claim and when you did? Just trap setting or something else?

I have a vote against me and another lover pair is going to ge fenraged at me over it soon and I happen to now read one of them as Town so it doesn't serve me to withhold the claim as I mechanically questioned Vex and he passed the test but as a VT I couldn't necessarily do so at that point without leaking I am a lover.

My partner and I decided it's better not to out each other or roles but my oartner did warn me that if people demand it I should just give in.

i don't see how the single vote against, and the other lover pair equates to having to reveal you're a lover at that exact point. if they were town, they could've just kept it hidden and seen if the scum lovers would've revealed they're lovers. i feel like this comes from scum realizing i've said that if only two pairs reveal, they're both ics, and they want to get that conf!town status.

2) i didn't get angry. i don't know where you're getting that from.
3) obviously i'd answer correctly even if i was scum, because if i didn't i'd instantly out the fact i'm scum.

none of this implicates me as town as well. this is all just nai.

Not sure how to reply that you seemed angry and aggressive without indirectly insulting your self-awareness but let's say I'm wrong.

In my wrong interpretation of your response to me, you were aggressive, upset that I'd ask what you find so easy and now furthermore hostile towards me because I townread you for said reaction.

It is indeed alignment indicative, your aggression is what Town has in this setup more than Scum. Town is panicking and alert because it os the equivalent of complete darkness in an environment where only scum has night vosion goggles and unloke other setups, not a single bit of that vision will in any shape or form become passively clearer as things progress via investigation results. This meams Town feels much more pressure to do something and hunt while Scum wants the game as laid-back as possible.

once again, they're trying to portray emotions onto my post which i feel like is a blatant attempt at trying to pocket me.
i also don't get the analogy whatsoever, but if it makes sense to them, i guess that's cool.
i would also like to note, it does feel like rm has convinction in their words at this point about me being scum, which makes their later 180 on me very questionable

Im just trying to feel this all out because maybe im more drunk than I think... so claiming is a null tell now? Im just trying to read where everyone is in pro/anti claim and how (if at all) they see it alignment wise.

Claiming is always a nulltell but my actual role is going to help scum, who will prefer to pile on lone VTs to easier know to avoid picking on me. If they know my partner, it will help them pile on us both at once rather than accidentally townreading my partner so it's harder to justify later (or vice versa).

you can be scummy and your lover be town though? like, that's what i don't get with this. also, why would claiming help scum? scum have to get two miselims in a row to win pretty much, and if we flip a vt, we're obviously gonna look at the wagon so like, why would scum wanna pile onto the vts like that?

Sure, thry votr you after I flip, deal Ana?

rm i feel is acknowledging the fact that ana claimed lovers, and then goes on to say this:

Ana doesn't claim just votes me, so I'm assuming she is claiming lover if it's Vex vs myself in her eyes.

ana literally said she wants her ic card, *after i said that lovers are effectively ics*. like, that is literally just claiming lover without directly stating "hey i'm lover"

Voting me so impulsively on anoure gut read isntt what Town would do here. She's risking two Lovers die if she's Town solely based on a fluttering read.

this reasoning doesn't make sense to me either. ana literally provided her reasoning, saying that she liked my posting more than rm's, which leads her to believe that i'm town and that rm is scum.

Doesn't make any sense at all. I am being scumread because Vex seems to know the setup, makes absolutely not logical sense at all, I am assuming Ana is softclaiming Lover because of her vote being based on Townreading Vex

once again, going with "i'm not sure ana is lover"

I'm liver with bingle

this is nai, but i wanted to just include it so we have it in the case. this occured after ana claimed lover as well.

What fucking reasoning am I being voted vased on, Vex seeming to know the setup? Being confident? You townread confidence?

rm apparently doesn't know the reasoning why they're being voted, but states they want ana to flip after they do, like ???
how do you get to this without reading the rest of the post, especially after you say you type with poor grammar on purpose so people have to read your own posts?

Her voting me also blackmailed me to out my partner which I explicitly said I wanted to stall to release reads

they never said they wanted to stall; rather, they said they would out if i asked them to. so ???

I townread VV's belief that he's pushing to solve/win the game for the townside.

There is nothing to solve this is an open setup...

this post just sits weirdly with me. i commented on it already, but it still sits weirdly with me.

The only thing to solve was who are the pairs and singles and alignment hut you've ruined the first part

i don't like the "i want to keep lovers secret" type of thing. it kinda feels like scum wanting to hopefully get an easy victory after quickhammering a lover who didn't reveal that. additionally, why would town not want to have lovers outed when it makes the game easier to solve?

We're all equally likely to be scum as each other regardless of OGI respect

this post just feels very out of place? like, why state the obvious here?

I don't understand what is happening here. I am being scumread based on overconfidence of Vex and my oartner is being told he is respected so I will be given mercy? Stupid reasoning. Bambi's post is fluff to reassure me instead of attacking or defending

this post just doesn't sit very well with me. bambi's post was literally saying "i don't wanna kill you yet because your partner hasn't had a chance to defend themselves yet"
how is that stupid reasoning and/or fluff?
(this post is also quoted by rm just below it)

Respect being "it would make me feel bad if I killed them before they can defend themself". I do respect most people that aren't hard lurkers and/or mostly jerks.

Lurkers and jerks can be town just as easily as any other player type. You should be just as ready to eliminate any player as another at any gamestart (in this case not the lover partner).

i don't see the town motivation in saying something like this. "you should always be ready to kill someone, even if they haven't been able to defend themselves yet"
like, mate, do you not realize if we elim two lovers or two vts, we lose? like, of course we want to give people time to defend themselves, plus it hasn't even been a full irl day.

I didn't want to out my partner exactly so any respect or disrespect to one didn't tarnish reads on the other, use your brains.

this directly contridicts what he said in 32:

I am also a lover and my partner I will keep secret for now unless you want me to out him/her/them.

---

Also it is only scum who'd want to rush the day, why would Town want to rush the vote here? This setup is 100% tells-based no investigations to rush towards

once again, this contridicts an earlier statement. he wants us to be ready to elim someone at the start of the game, and then goes on to say "oh only scum would wanna do that" like what?? how the fuck are you *this* inconsistent?

However I don't like Bambi's entry at all, it seems designed to make me feel soothed and remain hostile to the Anastasia lover pair instead

i looked at bambi's entrance, and i didn't notice anything particularly weird about it? it makes sense to me as a reasonable human being thing to do in a game?

Ok vote me out idgaf, enjoy the loss if you're town and never ever vote someone on this bullshit reasoning again. If you're scum well dome you won by BS reasoning, that is if you aren't voted out next. Do it, vote me, I won't gamethrow amd vote myself.

Vote me. I don't want to be in this shit situation later on where clearly everyone is biased and too incapable to read to townread me and bingle based on bias, better to eliminate me with the free miselimination

This isn't WIFOM eliminate me right now and then eliminate Anastasia's pair, she deserves to lose wothe if Town pushing for no fucking reason

with no pressure on him, he starts saying this, which doesn't feel like a town thing to do. at all. there was no pressure on them, so there was zero reason to all of the sudden switch to "elim me"??

Or she or they I am mot sure of Bingle pronoun

this just takes up space for no reason, and i don't like it. like, i get trying to follow the pronoun rules and stuff, but honestly, i don't like this post.

I don't understand what is happening here. I am being scumread based on overconfidence of Vex and my oartner is being told he is respected so I will be given mercy? Stupid reasoning. Bambi's post is fluff to reassure me instead of attacking or defending

I am literally not voting you only because I wanna talk to Bingle. Don't try and attack me for showing mercy.

Also Ana if you wanna convince me it's those 2 instead of you be my guest.

Don't ever show mercy to scum in this game. If you think I am scum vote without any mercy, if you dobt hesitate for solely selfish reasons. Always play to win, never to be nice.

the don't hesistate to elim me thing just strikes me as weird. i don't know how to phrase it exactly, but it's the entire "elim me now" type of thing i'm not liking.

I informed Bingle that we don't talk past D1's start as Bingle asked it in the PT and I'd already asked, it was a passing comment among the bigger discussion

once again the phrasing of "we don't talk past d1" just feels very weird. i'd expect can't, but not don't.

i don't like that reasoning rm.
you're claiming lover, meaning i have to read your slot as the combination of two players. i'm not gonna yeet a player on page five because i think they're scum in the pseudo-rvs stage of the game

I don't like any of your reasoning either, doesn't matter if we like each other's reasoning, just mattersnif our own is solid or not.

"i don't like your reasoning, but i'm still townreading you because of stuff you did earlier" - this makes sense how?

RM I really don't understand your reaction from a TownPOV..

Because like you have only 1 vote on you? Maybe 3 if Bambi/VV vote you?

Kerset hasn't even joined the game yet.. The level of desperation you're throwing out feels not very much like it should be coming from a townPOV

I'm almost feeling like you are trying to sink your own ship to obfuscate who your partner is?

I had two, liar.

bringing this up is important how? it just feels like rm is trying to throw out posts to clog the thread.

Anastasia pretends to nit understand why I'd panic as a Lover who has someone else dying with me in a setup where only five votes are required to vote me out when two are against me and one of them is a non-lover.

he goes from wanting to be elim'd to suddenly saying that he cares about jingle dying alongside him, when the entire point of us not eliming them at that very moment was to give jingle time to talk? what
how does this make *any* sense from a town!pov?

I am now extremely certain I was wrong, when you vote me out vote Vex and Bambi after me. I was incorrect. Anastasia is being cleverly pitted against me and Bambi and Vex are feigning hesitation to justify thebvote one and disassociate later

VOTE: Vex Vince

Ana's pair is the town pair with me and bingle, Vex and Bambi are laughing in scum chat olaying both sides of this, it's very blatant.

I am absolutely certain of this read now.

the following quotes happen in the space of this sudden change of heart:

Ah if only I got Jingle bells or one of the list mods or something and I got the be the bad cop to their good cop and shit. That would've been fun.

Dang it Ana you better not be evil after proven to be a player after my own style. I'd feel sad now.

My heart is pure <3

Pure evil huh

i'm feeling more and more confident on ana being town, and rm being scum ngl

You were quick to tell me what's NAI, what is AI that I or Ana has done

so what's the issue here then? if it's two townies, then the third one joins in, scum can't quickhammer because that exposes them
if it's two scum, scum can't quickhammer because not enough people

@mod

- Can you confirm all sent roles are word for word/link for link identical to sample ones?

No one should be worrying about quickhammer here really I think, but at least be warry of where its at. Like no E-2 unless you are fine with it going through.

Pure evil huh

As innocent as the first snow flowers falling on Hokkaido in November.

this also has zero reason about why this change occurs, and he never elaborates on it. i get it, that town will change their opinion, but normally, they provide a reasoning, not just sudden 180.

---

Vote me and then vote vex or bambi either works since it's same pair

once again, he changes his stance from "i care about jingle dyign alongside me" to suddenly "nah i don't care anymore" like make up your mind ffs.

Maybe it's correct and he wants us to murder Rational quickly to get it over with.

Disgusting OGI read that is false, a 'haja I was only kidding' remark to influence others to pile on me. The 'maybe' is a slip of consistently displayed assurance that I am actually Town shown from Bambi towards me.

he doesn't seem to realize that bambi was joking about this, and takes it as if it's entirely serious? like, i know i have a hard time grasping jokes in situations like this, but i felt like that was pretty blatant.

Today is Bingle andyself vs Vex and Bambi do not let them play any sides against each other anymore.

he doesn't even explain how we're playing sides.

This is a game. I want to have fun. Let me meme in peace or I literally just can tunnel you while not talking instead.

Also sup Bingle. Good to see ya.

Go ahead, don't empty threat. I want this to be you vs us.

this post indicates to me that he is dead-set in me/bambi scum, yet never explains the read.

Oh yeah speaking of the word respect... Ration went hard on me for showing mercy? Do you know why Bingle? Like... Explain to me his thought process for me. He'll just yell at me if I ask him.

If you think me and Bingle are scum what use os this post?

If you think Bingle and me are Town this is useful to disarm us as you're trying to create rapport with Bingle after failing to with me.

or, get this, maybe we're trying to ask jingle about you, because you refuse to elaborate on your logic, and because we've said this entire time that we're waiting for jingle to read and catchup before actually doing shit.

If you think Bingle and me are Town this is useful to disarm us as you're trying to create rapport with Bingle after failing to with me.

Both VV and Bambi know better than to try to pocket me.

Arrogance will be our downfall, never underestimate your capacity to be manipulated by someone. Bambi is playing to disarm me via you.

once again, this is never explained.

We aren't friends here, one of our pairs directly wants the others to lose. Stop this act. I don't respect any of you less than any other. You're all trash and all amazing in your own ways, I focus on tells and indication of scum. If I think you're scum, I'll vote a d encourage others to. Idc if I reapect your lover partner like a god, I vote you.

Bambi is trying to seem inquisitive and understanding but if you properly analyse it, it's just positioning the pair of Vex and Bambi perfectly so both lover pairs Ana vs Rational can get voted off.


I have excellent grammar in real life. I rush to type on a smartphone at times here, I also like it as it forces people to read what I'm saying a little harder while deciphering it.

1) why is pushing someone who appears to be scummy wanting the others to lose? isn't that the entire point of mafia? to find the scum and push them? yes, obviously not all town will be perfectly townie, and not all scum will be scummy. but trying to push a scumread isn't gamethrowing like you're equating.
2) i really don't like all the spelling errors, because that means i have to take more time to actually figure out what you're saying. no offense to you, but if i'm spending a significant part of my time while reading the game simply trying to figure out what you're saying, i'm going to want to policy yeet you *just* so i don't have to read your stuff.

Yoy didn't push me, you played the middle and still are. Anastasia pushed me even after I said I was willing to go down, meaning it probably does add up that her read was genuine and she was ready to hard-gamble on it. Also Anastasia's responses were solely designed towards further getting others to scumread me which is Towny tunneling, not scummy tunneling as she knew very well if I flip Town how it looks on her. I also like that she did all this without her lover partner being around or backing her up, it is a very Towny dynamic where the Lover pair are running on independent initatives whereas you and Bambi seem artificially united in all ways.

once again, not reading the fact we're waiting on jingle to show up before i do anything. i also never played the middle, i have very explicitly stated that i thought kerest/ana were town.

i think you're scum. i'm not pushing you because it's way too early for me to do so. i want everyone to post, and weigh in on this before i actually commit to pushing you. i also want to talk to your lover, because talking to you is about as productive as talking to a brick wall.
i will gladly provide a full case on why i think you're scum later in the day after we have more time to discuss things, and when i'm not about to sleep.

You think it now, give the case right now, no time to make shit up or use later information.

please explain to me in what world does me pushing a scumread this early makes any sense.

You don't have any read on me, you're just grasping at straws.

trying to claim i don't have a read on them when poe would dictate that they're scum, and the fact i've stated i think they're scum multiple times already.

Junk, fluff, obfuscation... You come with what you want as a term, the posts are full of it.

ebwop; i somehow missed this in my quick re-read

[Vex Vience]

no, you actually didn't.

[Vex Vience]

you claim we're playing both sides, yet you never actually provided any evidence of that, especially when i've stated i'm townreading kerest/ana, but scumreading you. i have been entirely consistent in that opinion, so explain to me why i'm somehow playing both sides.

1. That's an Isodive, not a case.

VOTE: rm

When I flip Town, they will eliminate you, I got nothing to fear. Nothing. I have the power here, you're the scared one.

You get me eliminated and the VTs honour my dying read/wish. Simple. I am not budging on this read it's blatant.

ok, but it's not actually. please explain how you're getting to this before i just policy you on the basis of i don't wanna play the game with you.
also, how the fuck am i scared?

@jingle, to answer your second point, because honestly at this point, it feels very close to scum realizing they've been caught, so they're trying to throw as much shit into the air as possible to obscure things

also, if that's the case, please elaborate on what the difference is, because i don't see it anywhere on the wiki

[Vex Vience]

I want my IC card and am happy to bet that RM will flip scum here.

if two other people claim lovers, we now have four mechanically confirmed ics due to the nature of the setup. if we have four others claim lovers, we now know there's two scum within the six lovers, and one scum within the remaining three vts, and we can solve from there.

i also propose we solve lovers before we solve vts, just so we have more ics to work with, and so we can remove most of the scum from the game.
ok? ok.

i want my ic card = i am town lover
i literally said if we solve lovers, the remaining lovers are mechanical ics.

she literally claimed lover in her first post

I want my IC card and am happy to bet that RM will flip scum here.

if two other people claim lovers, we now have four mechanically confirmed ics due to the nature of the setup. if we have four others claim lovers, we now know there's two scum within the six lovers, and one scum within the remaining three vts, and we can solve from there.

What is IC? In character?

innocent child, or a role that is mod-confirmed to be aligned with the town. in this game however, the ic is confirmed through the fact it's an open setup.

@jingle, to answer your second point, because honestly at this point, it feels very close to scum realizing they've been caught, so they're trying to throw as much shit into the air as possible to obscure things

Okay, so he's caught scum because he's throwing shit in the air to obscure the fact that he's caught scum. Was he not throwing shit in the air at the beginning? If so, what was the original point at which he was caught scum?

Like, you've pointed out that RM doesn't have a trajectory. Why was that scum indicative in the first place?

he wasn't at the very start. at the very start he was trying to pocket me. he only started to after ana claimed lover.

Also the vibe I get from like all of RM's posts is that he's trying to cheat his way into getting a cheap townread out of someone
which matches his earlier description of his gameplay being 'be aggressive in this dog-eat-dog world'

I was asked what we discussed in our PT. Bingle will tell you but he claims to have not properly read and just told me not to coach. I said be aggressive or others will pile on us, I knew it and damn I was right.

we're piling on you because of the following reasons:
1) you're scummy.
2) you keep 180'ing your opinion.
3) you keep contridicting yourself.
4) you aren't explaining your reads at all.
5) you are literally singling out the one player that pretty much everyone else is agreeing is town here.

you still haven't actually explained what caused you to change your mind on me being town
