Based off my skim-through, STD seems pretty jovial.

Asking why you expect Freedom to have anything more than the most surface level reads 10 minutes after replacing in I'm guessing

In post 406, usesPython wrote: While this would normally then imply
2. ... Aureal [is] competent enough at analysis that mistakes can be taken to likely indicate alignment
it's completely contradicted by 376. This seems like an actual attempt at factual analysis, but falls apart the second you actually look into it.
You really like feeling smarter than other people, don't you?
In post 350, usesPython wrote: The read was done with an assumption that you and Weuler had spent time analyzing what the implications of a slip would be,
Well, there's your problem.

You thought that solve post was fluff originally. Now you think it's the product of a thorough analysis of every possible scenario? C'mon.
Is factually incorrect and can be verified by looking at post numbers (explained in 378)
There is nothing incorrect here. You explained it yourself in the post you cite here. First, I posted my solve. Second, you said that I was only posting fluff (thus including my solve post). Third, I elaborated with some reasons to support my solve. It is exactly as I remember it. This post is calling you out for not having any middle ground between fluff and thorough analysis of every possible scenario, which is pretty clearly where the solve belongs. That's why I asked you how you feel about that area earlier today.

Now you're just really grasping for anything. It's like you
want
me to have not specified that I had looked at previous game PTs because that would be easier to pass off as sus, so you're just acting like it's what I said anyway. :lol:
Is implicitly incorrect because if I wanted it to look like Aureal didn't specify she looked at previous games PTs then why would I directly quote her saying it when I asked Weuler and Elements for their input.
This is absolutely incredible. "I didn't make a mistake, YOU made a mistake!" Why do you think my reaction to your post is so incredulous? You quoted the exact reasons why it isn't a slip in your post then acted like they weren't there. If you'd left out the exact quotes so that it wasn't perfectly clear that you were barking up the wrong tree, I might have just quoted them back at you with emphasis on the relevant info and told you to read more carefully, but they were right there for you.
If you're scum about to wallpost a long analysis defending yourself and post a read, wouldn't you post in the PT to get a second set of eyes on this first? And then wouldn't that scum team double check those statements to be factual so as to not look scummy and instead opt for an alternative explanation that's consistent with the posts so far?
Wow, this is even more of a stretch than my figuring that first-time newbies might not immediately realize that mafia know a good bit more about the setup than town. (Which, btw, was my suggesting a POSSIBILITY, which you have been turning into a firm stance that anything else is impossible.) FROM WHAT I'VE READ OF OPENED MAFIA PTS (*cough* :roll: ) I haven't seen mafia doing much post drafting there. And if you think that mafia should be doing that, what do you think I should have done as mafia if my partner was low activity or inactive, as some of our players have been?

And of course, you have pointed out no statements that are not factual. :o

These read like legitimate mistakes that I don't see why scum!Aureal and her hypothetical scum partner would make but can be very easily explained by town!Aureal not being experienced in rigorous analysis and being confident in her memories to not double check the entire thread before posting
My memory is just fine, and you
definitely
really like feeling smarter than other people (in a bad way), so I'm not sure I'm going to bother with any more of this. Everyone else has probably already tuned it out.
