user Lady Lambdadelta what do you think about users ActionDan and Lorne Malvo
AD is town b'ys lol
Lorne gives me nothing burger vibes that make them feel bad but honestly nothingburger is less suspect than other people and Lorne might have a style clash overall.
Feels kind of like a very inexperienced CES tbh.
that's someone who goes on the list btw. the top 100? CES.
And Glork.

I don't have any other scumreads, frankly I don't see a point when I already have a confident push (that other people agree with)
right but...
i'm not going to be letting action dan die today. is the long and short of it.
like i'm open to being sold on him, actually, i should say. i'm not gonna be closed minded but
as long as i townread AD, i won't allow him to die.
so please sell me on AD and show me the things you're seeing, but also consider looking at other directions and letting me feel about? even if it's just "these players are town i really think that" that's helpful

the list was baseline and not saying anything but the order of reads made some sense and the expliantions she gave on her reads when she did give them after were good

ActionDan:
You were right, your iso was very pleasant to get through. The highlights being the way you format your thoughts and reasonings are very clear and easy to reference what you're talking about specifically. I also like the way you go back and reread people, not just when somebody has a new point or question, but to also confirm what your new thoughts or feelings are. You don't just stick to what you remember, you go back to the source as far as I can tell, and this is pretty admirable.
Posts like these are really
You're approaching the mech from a perspective of "How does scum benefit" instead of "How does town benefit" and I think it's a perspective slip. You're smart enough to know that we can use the threat of investigations to kill off scummy slots via scumkill, and yet have said nothing about that. You're playing obtuse about the actual power behind cop shots. Your "I want to 1v1 Pooky over mayor" bit feels lamist af.
Take your pick.
I don't remember a missed opportunity to opine about scummy slots being thrown into the sherif role for ritual sacrifice. Could you point out where that might have come into play in these mech arguments, and the scummy point where GL neglects to mention this?
In the exchange earlier between Datisi gl and Ausuka, I thought Ausuka comes out the worse for it. 92 reads artificially aggressive. The disbelief in other posts that GL would not think other players would find a cop role strong is attacking something GL never communicated.
Furtive if enchant flips scum do we have your blessing to flip you after post-haste?

oh ok, got it. I disagree that's wise but I believe you believe it so I guess its ok. I assume that doesn't apply to the other choices at least
btw with all this talk surrounding owen's 222, can't they just answer the motivation for asking the question themselves, have they been in this thread yet to perhaps shed daylight on it?
My own opinion on UNOwen rides between Bingle's and Meowth's in that logically there isn't anything in the "fluffy short iso" I can pin down as scummy (I don't think either of 222 or 424 are egregiously scummy) but the fact that those are the only two posts that would qualify as content in 20 pages is.

Ah ok, what thoughts of mine aren't real to you. Which townreads then? I haven't fleshed out all of them in thread, but am available to do so now if you'd like.
Why is it unacceptable for UNOwen to be scumread or more precisely, why shouldn't I scumread him.
Why wouldn't Cakez / Herta be easy scumreads the same way? Herta is low content objectively, most of his posts are filler. Cakez less so.
I find Nono almost pure null. I guess that wasn't clear, whereas Enchant/SK more null scummy.
While yeah, you did scumread Ausuka, I can completely understand and follow your reasons for *why* you did. They're valid conclusions. I also really like the way you ask people specific questions. They always read as genuinely wanting to understand why someone said something they did or for further elaborations. Even ones that are a bit snarky, they don't feel like they're intentionally trying to get a specific emotion from somebody. You're just putting in all the work towards solving imo, so confirming that town read. Not just vibes, this one is more than that, on par with how I feel about LLD this game.
this is a really good AD approach. giving a town read this strong to another person isn't scum sided on general, this is pre-meowth flip and gives some insight into how Xof's progressions are working.

so you're not concerned that they basically had 1 scum read and didn't do anything to push that read like vote for them
in fairness i know xof holsters their vote, but at the same time they had basically 1 scumread
mmm
replacing in, does xof strike you as the type to be cautious in a return to mafia or aggressive?
cause i feel like the answer is cautious and explains some of that?
but I will read it again with that in mind

LLD can you explain why you townread Dan to this degree?
I know the 'bad associations with meowth' case might not be convincing but I'm not really seeing a lot there to townread this strongly?
gut and memory of a prior game situation wherein similar situations cropped up and he behaved differently as scum nothing i can write a thesis paper about but i'm strong on it, plus i don't explain town reads so

The only reason for me to claim my ability usage would be if there is a hard need later on to track what happened, but right now all it does is confirm for scum whether or not the most powerful ability of the role has been used, because it's one scum have to play around.

unless she has an effective guilty which would only be wise to reveal after SK gives the cop result.
this makes sense to me, I get this
but if there's no effective guilty, then I'm otherwise having a hard time squaring how "my abilities are so powerful, you should fund me" can coexist with "none of the CM abilities are too useful and we don't need to discuss which one she used"
I'll drop it for now I was probably a bit hastily reactive but I 100% think someone else should be Council Member today, maybe it is finally UNOwen's time to shine
Yes that was the expectation, GL. No one here was advocating that I take CM again. I was planning on running for Treasurer.

You weren't in 1st council where I very much gave away what the nature of the powerful ability is. I probably wouldn't have used it or necessarily pushed to be funded just to use it in N2's circumstances. I don't know what transpired 2nd council so I can't give a nuanced answer
I didn't push to be funded, I didn't expect to be funded, I woke up funded fully and had to use it or lose it so I pulled a trigger on an ability. I have no guilty to share, so I won't share what I did.

Like I literally marveled at how nonsensically powerful the abilities I had were, and got funded without being told that was going to go down. Bingle told NO ONE who he was funding until 4 hours before deadline for day start.

it's fine? I get the conceptual need for transparency but, look lemme spill the beans a SMALL amount.
One of the abilities in the list is a Doctor, it's a powerful doctor too. Scum have to play around it. Whether I used that doctor or not is something I do not want to share because once it's used it's gone.
So from my POV, better to have someone else we trust be CM, they can validate what I did, and we can keep it hidden from scum so there's town night play we can still do.

I would say I need to reads reset but I did that yesterday after I killed Cakez and I said Xof town and people went "shrug" and decided to do it anywya.
I still think Furtive scum, fyi.

At this point, I'm at the "less confident" stage so I'll tell you where my brain is at.
I have STD town GL town based on behaviour and exchanges I've had. GL has some scum equity having pushed Dan yesterday past me saying "Dan town", but looked really town with my interaction with them today. STD looked town from the way he pushed Xof as compared to other Xof wagoners.

So I'm looking at 2 scum in these 4. Ali's entrance push on me into back off looked kind of weird but I know how Ali works as scum and I sort of thing she wouldn't have backed off as scum. She'd have wanted my cred in the game in the toilet and been wanting to make the game less bearable for people to exist in. I think Ali is town from that, but it's weaker than STD and GL.

Ircher's slot looks scummy, and ircher's entry probably needs rope. Gimli didn't look town, neither did Herta...

So I'm down to between Bingle and Sheep? Honestly, I want to just say "kill these 4 and we win" but like, if I'm going to isolate which one is scummier, I think it's Bingle. Bingle's opposition to me on the mechanics feels like a cover to actual hunting.
So I'm on a Furtive/Ircher/Bingle team rn, with Sheep as my unknown 4th, and Ali being the outside 5th. I think all the scum are in that 5 but it's worth saying that STD/GL could have 1, but it's max 1 scum in that.

preface: I don't have any experience playing with furtive
after some thinking I'd be pretty surprised if furtive is scum. the way he's been playing (antagonizing LLD, incessantly calling me scum, trying to get credit for suspecting meowth) just feels wild for scum to do
Furtive literally spent 2-3 weeks in Mafia Bootcamp with me on "how to play scum" with me when he hydra recruited me into a game. Call me conceited but that usually makes people better and enjoy refuge in absurdity. I literally showed him how to use our hydra dissonance as a weapon.

Because I've been expecting scum to try and slowly shade and paranoia me, and especially you who always has this paranoia of me so it's easy for you to just go "oh I'm always worried about you if you live long" so
I'm going to shine the flashlight in your face, and see what shakes out when I call you on this.
