Isis described this as an open setup in sign-ups. I do believe we are all vanilla except the double vote, and then we have the option to spare or fight.
It seems like if we choose to fight, this setup is pretty close to mountainous.
It'd be mountainous with three nights skipped—which isn't insignificant—but it does seem as though mercy is the easier option overall (obviously depending on you and your alignment).
I do like the focus closer to mercy, tbh.
I really want
Dann
to explain this vote in retrospect, because it would genuinely help me sort them.

I think
Dunn
is above rand town
why
i thought the "taking everything at extreme face value" thing was slightly more likely to come from someone with the serious moral defect of rolling scum
but also i do not know how useful discussing dunnstral's alignment is since he's getting flipped no matter what
ngl i didnt like these posts, the level of suspicion did not match my statement

He's the most important to discuss,
because
he's getting flipped no matter what.
I like the counter idea here

also i don't super get your intense focus on sorting / interacting with dunnstral off the bat over everyone else
this characterization was also inaccurate as i explained after this

i thought it odd meuh didn't join in on the memeing but not the scummiest slot in the game
another thing that makes me head tilt to

because i dont know the context for their

read but they are already supposing a hierarchy of scumreads. is this a playstyle issue i have?

I'm more curious about why you think Keyleth is likely scum here, and I find that you're making scumreads quite quickly which is of note.
her tone feels a little performative in terms of expressing excitement but nervousness over and over again but i just realized while writing this that that might be an attempt to roleplay as the character keyleth
the main thing is the focus on posting and asking questions about things related to the setup or things that aren't related to anyone's alignment at all
clarifying a joke in

asking why you bold usernames in
47
setup talk in
52 and
63
71 feels like a question for a sake of question and not an attempt to sort me especially given there was no follow up thoughts about my alignment after i answered
i would just expect a town entrance to include something about someone's alignment before

keyleth is posting a lot but that hasn't really translated into approaching the game in a towny way
pretty detailed scumread for something so early

I think that mandate is likely not scum with anyone who has misunderstood the setup (Dunn, Dann, Key, Merlyn). This is also slightly likely for implosion, Alisae, and potentially Shirou.
this is the most interesting to me about
Brown Eyes
because they have an assumption that i think is likely correct that leads to something of an alignment indicative behavior, and then applies it to multiple people. i kind of want to pick their brain when they catch up
um
+1 actually

If you're a wolf you want to be townread so you go over or push some wrong villagers but Sakura is just, doing neither? Unless that's the point to get townread but that's wifom ya know?
This feels kind of reductive? Wolves post to have thread presence, to be engaged in the game, to have fun... pushing agenda is nice but not every single wolf post is anchored on that and not every wolf post has deep and complex connotations. Wolves absolutely just post random thoughts to look more engaged, which tend to make you look more townie (or at the very least less appealing to lim), and nothing in Sakura's posting indicates that she isn't
trying
to be townread. Wraps around to the classic "if I'm a wolf, how come I'm not being townread?" argument, as if getting townread is this guaranteed thing to gain with certain posts rather than something that wolves fail at a bunch.

I wouldn't randomly throw out a townread and defend a player just for the fun of it?
Scum do that, though. Not "for the fun of it", but scum make reads and engage with the game in ways that aren't solely focused on pushing townies over or doing super surface level townie things. Scum want to act like they do as town, to look helpful, to look as though they're thinking about the game, to maintain presence, to cozy up to people, to not get seen as an inactive...
Sakura making a handful of posts that aren't focused on throwing someone under the bus doesn't mean she's town? It feels like a reach
sakura
might be the only read from
meuh
i register until i nudged her about it.
level of reevaluation may be town? or scum realizing its not viable push.... i need more real-time interaction with

Does this also refer to me? I gave a fairly strong anti-association read.

Fairly bad entrance, I think. She indicated in
208 that she had read the thread, yet her first posts were fairly unsubstantial in a way that feels like she was trying to look productive. I also think that given the opinion she gives in
211 that she expects townies who are pushed in an overbearing way to find it annoying and push back, her questions to Taly seem somewhat strange and informed:

its strange that you are saying mandate is "griefing" you because doesnt that assume mandate is town?

like if mandate is mafia and you're town then this wouldn't be a grief it would just be hyper aggression lining up lims and seizing thread control - your lack of any suspicion of this push is kind of ?? to me.
If I were in this situation, I would just
ask
Taly what her read on you is. It's hard to phrase this, but it feels more like she's just pointing something out rather than actually trying to interrogate anything.
I think there's a depth of thought here about how
Brown Eyes
sees the
Ari-Mandate-Taly
interaction that is hard to fake nuance.
BE
puts herself in the scenario rather than just being a cold commentator of it.
Only thing of substance from

I agree with Dunn being above average scum, as he continues to post he is redeeming himself from the start though not sure if I’ll still think he is scummy by game start.
Dan feels a bit too aggressive out of the gates and it’s either scummy or a lot of excitement not sure which one yet, probably just scummy.
Mandate is town because Taly was giving me pings around the time they voted them. I do think Taly is town atm as well though. Post #83 is actually like too wolfy to come from a wolf I feel like anyone with self awareness would avoid posting that.
Meuh had a strange opener, like the real one not the rvs vote, I’ll hold my breathe for now because I can sorta see myself over explaining like that as either alignment. But over explaining simple NAI things is more of a scum trait even if it’s not concrete. As I kept reading though I find it hard to care.
I have some people I find null because I’m confused and other people are more deliberately null because I feel they aren’t doing things. I eventually hit a Point in the thread where things got tricky to read cause I don’t ever get a good feel for a thread catching up so I just started to aggressively skim the posts.
Dunns alignment is one of the most important ones to discuss because he will flip and interactions with him feel important because of that.
My take on mechs:
I don’t want to go mercy because I don’t want to be stuck in a game without townie people. Especially when a lot of what goes into town reading people involves taking fun people out of the game. If something occurs with flips to make going mercy optimal I’ll re evaluate this strategy take.
Why not like the RVS vote on me, about
BE
?
Why is
Dann
probably just scummy and what do you make of their wagon and lack of reaction to it?
YOu emphasize
Dunn
is an important person to discern but do not add more detail to that.

I don't see why it would be? Not entirely sure what you're getting at, to be honest.
In post 414, Aristeia wrote:
by your logic brown eyes you are mafia because you are just pointing out something rather than interrogating me
My "logic" obviously isn't to say that that in every case pointing something out rather than asking questions is scum indicative. Is that what you took away from what I just said?
What I'm saying specifically is that I found the way in which you chose to talk about the Taly/mandate interaction bizarre, and seemingly indicative of you being unconcerned with sorting. I guess while we're on the subject, maybe I should just ask – what exactly is your read on Taly? What was it when you made
191 and
194?

I wanted to see where

was going with this tbh.. I'm intrigued by that slot.

Misunderstood your point, I think engaging in theoretical discussion that doesn't amount to much and revolves around general ideas on the game rather than things specific to what's currently going on is scummy, both for myself and for others, so it's fair
only thing ive read from

I should really be resting soon but the premise of my thinking right now is that scum does not have substance but appears to have something that makes logical sense.
I like this post along with the scumread on me, kind of feels like Taly has a vague idea of the place or the way in which scum are playing and is trying to fit someone into it as a puzzle piece, which is how I tend to approach things a lot of the time. (I talk a lot about things "clicking", for me my reasoning for a scumread is often more just that it fits into place rather than some intense feeling on that specific player)
i tend to be townread by scum when i push them, so i am wondering what to make of this
