this was my initial thought, don't really think Cabd would make a mechanic that can be entirely subverted with just "bride/groom claim".
also I'm probably going to wind up playing this like a less crazy version of a marathon game. prepare your asses.-

You just posted what was wrong with that: scum counterclaims
this, IMO, is a compelling reason not to claim; would prefer to have a day of "vanilla" play to analyze on the off chance a CC happens because it'd be a lot more confusing to attempt to sort a CC right out the gate (based entirely around play where each person would theoretically know the other is scum) than after we have a more solid body of work to draw evidence from. it might just be me, though.-

Thank you, everyone, for being a part of this. I'm very touched, and this community means so much to both of us.
Looking forward to watching the game! (and taking notes on how to detect demons should they show up at our shindig...)

I think we _should_ be fine with the mechanic as long as we avoid putting anyone to L-4 at highest (even though I would expect 3 scum here). I don't really have a preference for whether we claim D1 or later, was just throwing ideas around.-

OK.
there's about 0 way town-you would scum read me for "awkward posts" after the whole fiasco in Forest Fire. I'm giving you one chance to retract this when you arrive.-

I don't think you believe your reasoning for scum reading me; I don't think that after one game where you were horribly wrong about what constitutes a "forced" post from me, you'd walk in here and attempt to immediately read me again based on the same thing. I think you thought that you usually rely on posts seeming awkward/forced to get reads early game, and pushed it hoping to emulate what you'd do as town, without thinking through it all the way.
bork pointing out you "agreed" with him when he didn't call me scum supports this.-

read my last post
and I don't think you'd have any strategy re: me specifically, I made that same mistake in Forest Fire thinking "omigawd sangres wouldn't push me out the gate" when the reality was scum there would have to play around _everyone_, not just me. I think you just saw an angle to push and pushed it.-

In post 196, Empire wrote:I don't like attention and antagonizing people who react strongly when I'm scum.
who else would you have pushed, and don't you imagine after Forest Fire I would not react as strongly as I did there (for fear of turning the whole game into another T/T shitfight)?
I don't see the relevance of this as a rebuttal to why you would think "forced posts" is a reliable reason for scum reading me.
In post 196, Empire wrote:Talk to me about your Nacho read. Why is he town and why is my questioning it sillier than my questioning your bork one?
Nacho is town because I can just feel it. I don't have a more specific explanation, I'm reading people almost entirely based off gut/tone so far (this is part of what I meant when I said I'm playing this like a marathon game) and Nacho's posts feel really strongly town. I thought his opening looked really excited in a way I would expect from him, and he proceeded to discuss reasonable things with it (i.e. it wasn't just him-scum just posting fluff in order to come across as excited), and I didn't take issue with any of it, so that's enough for a town read rn.
I don't really think you'd think the second question makes sense. the Nacho town read is a less "easy" town read, precisely _because_ people will naturally question it due to it being Nacho, and people would likely be hesitant to town read him as I've done based on <4 or 5 RL hours of posts, which is why I don't like that you called it "easy". again, it read like you weren't thinking it through all the way.-

In post 220, Empire wrote:I don't think you would react differently because the one thing that I've learned about mafia is that most people are predictable (although I don't know if you will understand what I mean by that). And I absolutely would have attacked someone else (GIF comes to mind as a scum-me target). I really don't want to re-hash the literal exact same argument as the last time but do you really think I am positioning my reasoning as a "reliable reason to scumread" you? There's obviously a reason I chose to pick at you in this way and I am a bit disappointed you haven't seen it yet.
to my mind, you pushing my posts being "awkward" implied that you think that it's more likely than not valid reasoning, even if it's only a slight tell.
even if it's just a reaction test, I don't really want to rule out you using a "reaction test" to enter the game as scum; pretending to do a reaction test in RVS/early game is something I see from scum fairly often when they want to look like they've generated content. can you walk me through your scum read on AP in more depth?
In post 220, Empire wrote:The problem that I have is that I can definitely visualize Nacho playing in this way as scum (even with the push on me, he's told me in the past that he would love trying to get someone like me lynched). The second question makes sense if you understand what I've been trying to do this whole time.
Nacho has told me all about his dreams of mislynching various players too, and I assume he's done the same for a bunch of other people in this game. which is why I think him actually trying to do it, in this game, would be a really bad idea and that if he was gonna do something like this it'd be in a different game. the only sense I think it makes would be if he went for it anyway hoping for people to town read him based on "he wouldn't do this as scum", but even then I think it was perfectly reasonable to take issue with your early play. if he starts bending over backwards trying to scum read someone, then ya I would agree with your point here.-

ftr I don't expect to work with everyone this game and I would really appreciate if I didn't have you or anyone else pushing this on me. there's a lot of people in this game I usually try to work with and I usually don't work closely with more than a few ppl/game.
I feel pretty sure AP is scum here, and no, it has nothing to do with his posts being "non-content". my issue with his posts on a general level is his focus, and I took issue with 255 for this reason - as one example, the line directed to me/Empire. I don't think he read our exchange and thought that the most productive comment to make was "are you really surprised the past can repeat itself" or whatever he said. there were a lot of more specific factors involved in how it actually went down in that game, which is what led to me saying I didn't think Empire would buy it as a reason for scum reading me, and both me and Empire alluded to this (Empire saying "reaction test" "you should know why I'm doing this", me outright saying he used the same reason in the last game and was wrong). I think that if he really wanted to sort through it, that comment re: me should have had more depth or addressed any of the actual content behind me/Empire sorting each other. what he did read more like it was coming from a "what can I say here to look OK" POV instead of actually trying to sort through it.
his latest reads wall I take issue with for similar reasons. I don't understand why he'd feel like he had to have a read on Tammy after like 4 posts - it reads like he thought it'd be an easy thing to comment on and there it was.
there's more but those are the two that stood out the most
outside of that reads I'd like to discuss the most are Nacho's read on Ceph and Nati's read on me, but probably can't read into it in-depth until later.-

was gonna mention this but I'll put it here; I thought about it overnight and I feel pretty good about the way Empire handled the read on me, not due to the reaction test but his reach out to me after he started town reading me. I like it bc I can see it coming from the POV of Empire-town who thought something along the lines of "I've hardly played with pieguyn, it would be good if we could work together this game", and decided that the best way to do this would be to immediately try and sort me with a quick push, and it seems like an obscure enough thing I really doubt he'd have thought to fake it. the exception is if he was trying to go out of his way to play to me, but I don't really think I'd be a priority target for scum-Empire to manipulate as opposed to someone like Nacho or Tammy.-

reason I asked is I remember her making a very similar looking content-light catchup post in the Team Mafia game where she generally waffled on a lot of shit and didn't take any firm stances, which is part of where my scum read on her came from that game, and in my memory I know ppl like BRO have caught her in the past based on a lack of firm stances.-

also I liked Empire's confidence that "Nacho would 100% see me as town if he's town" after he sorted me, would be kinda impressed if he felt that confident to post smth like that as scum specifically after doing something deliberately confusing that would give people cause to question him.
p-edit: hold on a sec and I can pull her posts I'm talking about from that game.-

meeeeh
honestly I still like it but more because it didn't come off forced to me. in my recent memory whenever you'd emulate your "you're not lynching me" or "I'm super town" or whatever, it would feel off timing-wise.
I could be reading too much into it though.-

ISO'ing Tammy. tbh, I feel really uncomfortable calling her town for her responses to AP bc afaict it's her taking issue with him for what amounts to a playstyle conflict, and I think she'd be capable of doing this as scum if she legitimately felt about it like he was poking her over something that shouldn't be indicative, but I might just be reading way too much into it and I agree the conviction behind it points more to her reacting to it as town regardless. -.-
that said, I did like her poking Mala on her town read on her; I do it a lot as scum but the reasoning is thought out and well-reasoned enough that I think it's a good point.-

we literally haven't played in any games with each other outside of Forest Fire which was basically a huge shitfight between our 2 slots all game until we figured out we were both town. so we haven't really had a chance to actually both be able to work with each other in a game.
like, he explicitly said hopefully I'd see him as town so we could work with each other, so I don't see why you'd find this unlikely. but, the point here is that, if that was what he was trying to accomplish, the way he approached reading me makes a lot of sense (moreso than any reason I could think of for him doing it as scum)-

oh I wouldn't really say it's no history, we seemed to work well together for the very very brief period we were town reading each other in Forest Fire-game although that was a hydra of him/Regfan and not just him, and I've been in 2 of his games.
I know when this started I kinda sorta would have liked to have had this game go better between us two than FF did (before you ask yeah I will push someone if I think they're being disingenuous even taking this into account) and I think he'd feel the same way.-

I am confused why BRO and Ceph are included in the top tier and I'm confused why I'm not.
BRO town read is just because I feel like when he's scum most of his posts have this seeking-approval mindset where he tries to go around and make appeals to various players in the game. I don't see that from him here at all and I think this looks p strongly like his town play as opposed to his scum play.
Ceph town read is kinda similar, he feels like he's kind of lost and I disagree with most of what he's pointing out, which ironically I find to be a town tell bc I can look at it and see it coming from the POV of lost-town who can't stay on top of the game fully.
I mostly just flipped out on you cos I would expect you to town read BRO here given you (and Tammy, and mollie. -.- christ I still cannot fucking believe that) spent all of D1 of Capcom trying to dismantle my massive case of destruction on BRO where this was a major point in the case, and I'm almost positive you've used this point in reading BRO before in some other game (don't remember exactly where).

if you really want me to, I can go through all of your posts and point out why I think the vast majority of them aren't you actually game solving, but IDK how productive that'd be in a blitz scenario where there's easily viable wagons on other ppl I think have a good chance to be scum anyway.-

I believe, with reservations, Nacho has caught GM.
I have a fair amount of paranoia because most of what he brought up are literally some of the easiest things to attack as scum, but then I think it may just be that easy.
p-edit: see above; town (poke me if you want me to reason this out more); I have no read there and haven't tried to form one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯-
