i would love you to tell me why newbie scum goes "if i knew who mafia was i wouldnt tell you :P "
there is no world you can convince me that their interaction is NAI, it is the most AI thing to happen this game

Why?
If I knew who scum was at this juncture, it would presumably be because I am one of them , meaning it would be a mistake to tell the town. To be clear, I don't know who scum is; I have a town role.

I guess the other reason I might know who they are is reads, but I don't have any at this point other than a very, VERY tentative sus of mafmen because other people are sussing him, and I'm not sure if that counts as *knowledge*.

This is a good learning experience, I now know that "haha i could hypothetically be mafia" is not a good goof to make as town.

VOTE Mafmen


After looking further through the Mafmen/Thynith exchange, I don't think what I said about "haha I might be mafia" gives any useful reads. Maybe a very slight town one, but it's WIFOM at that point. Arguably there's still a point to doing reads off of it (nothing better to go off of), but it's not very strong.

Calling greeting probtown is a much weirder take. They've done a random vote for me and they've asked a 1 word question, I respect just getting nice vibes from them but calling them "probtown" seems like a stronger phrase than is warranted for someone who's been so absent. I also noticed that Mafmen totally skimmed over this in his response, which doesn't really seem honest and is really what I'm voting off of.

To be clear: I'm not that trigger happy, I'd prefer if Mafmen wasn't voted off just based on this, but I do want to see how he behaves on E-1.

sorry i didnt really treat what he said about greeting as the crux of his argument
i think its good to question aristotle there and the fact he didnt take any major stance on a weird post like that is nice

at the end of the day it all comes down to how you interpret my usage of 'probtown' and words like that, i personally didnt take it that strong of a strong term but i suppose i should switch up my vocab

Your quip was fine. I don't see how anyone could find it indicative, and certainly not in RVS.

You're hardly doing yourself a favour by throwing out wild reads. Why are you calling one one word post "presence"? The fact that you avoided engaging on your Greeting read speaks volumes more than if you had.
Who's giving ya the most scum pings right now? Or no one in particular?

its not ‘wild reads’ as i do have town pings from them but im arguing semantics at that point
im not getting scumpings from anyone, i generally find it easier in rvs to find a townread rather than a scumread

OK, I think I'd call your first point here a little odd, Thynhith. There's definitely
something
you can get from the interaction, if not much and super super inconclusively. I think I'm seeing Pseudo's actions as more inexperienced, overenthusiastic townie than such hubristic first time scum. I'm feeling okay about them for now. Igor jumping on their joke so hard makes sense, but combined with how short, yet numerous his other posts have been too I'm quite ???? Mostly a typing style thing, still pings in my head as initially worrying.

Second point though: absolutely. Greeting had some joke posting to do about philosophers and then made a one word post questioning pseudo after igor had already done the
same
thing. If I had to make a premature read, myself, I'm almost inclined to say the opposite.

Igor and Greeting, if you have anything more / anything to say about this MafMen vote I'd love to hear it!

You’re able to tell if someone is town by three posts, two of which relate to a very obvious RVS, and one was a one-worded question? Truly astounding.

I need to wait for the vote tally first to see if the vote in is counted. I really want to vote him to put pressure, but it’s too early and too little to hammer on page 3 of Day One.

Artificial creation of content is never a townread to me.

Glad that you got to the point yourself, and quite fast. Honestly, this is such a newbie thing to say that I don't think any scum would do as you did. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now. UNVOTE: pseudoAristotle

This is very reasonable! Yeah, I'm not feeling too hot on that explanation of his reads either

This page is actually useful. I think igor and Aristotle are town off of it, I can see townreading Thynhith for it but I don't get as strong of vibes on him as the other two.

@MafMen: you still haven't explained exactly why you thought Greeting was townish. Do you have an explanation for why his first 3 posts townpinged you?

Do you have any general thoughts on your wagon or specific thoughts on if you think any of the votes on you are particularly town or scum indicative?

theres an argument to be made about igor seeming a little opportunistic on his vote on me but i think his blatant refusal to explain further comes off as townie
if i had to wager a guess i would say my wagon looks pretty pure and scum hadnt committed to it as it would likely die soon anyway
