It's a really wonky post, but I think that's just the way nyd plays. It's consistent with how I would expect him to act if he's town. It's not even his scummiest post so far - I've felt that way before myself as town. I don't see why this one post made him skyrocket in your reads.

There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

No it's not. Buddying the IC is pretty much standard scum play. I've been buddied many times by scum before. By saying "if [Accountant] flipped scum, I would be in trouble" you're acknowledging that you're essentially placing all your trust in the hope I am town, and I don't see why. I'd expect a townie to be more paranoid than that, especially as I am the IC and can fake being town easily as scum.

I never said pep was mafia. DBW just seems like the way the lynch should go today tbh.

I never said DBW was town either, I said that pep was initially townie to me.
What did Pep do early?
I never that you said that Pep was maf, I'm asking why do you want to lynch DBW over Pep.
And I never said that you said that DBW is town. You said that I was town, so if you think that I am town, why would you want to consider lynching me?
I don't think I've really given DBW much thought due to low post count. The posts that I have seen of him though I haven't really considered them to be alignment indicative.

Pep I thought was townie because he came to the conclusion that accountant was scummy based on a similar reason to mine. It didn't seem like a sheep either so we were thinking the same way.

I don't really want to lynch you?

Let's hear it, then. You know, just so I can check you really townread me and aren't buddying me like Ali did.
I was suspecting you for not taking ny's playstyle into account based on a post you made earlier talking about playstyle differences then I saw you made a comment about how video mafia affects his playstyle so I felt like you weren't being unfair, and were able to notice that it was a playstyle issue.

In video mafia yes. I don't think I've ever rolled scum on forum before though. I would never bus a partner if I only had 1 though unless it was a LYLO/MYLO situation.

Also, isn't this what exactly you were doing with your extensive questioning?
There's a difference between questioning someone you think is scum and questioning someone to provoke them.
Alright. Is there a specific moment in which I started focusing moreso in provoking him than extensively question them?
Besides . That was kinda far.

And don't you think Nyd is Buddying Pep or Pep is buddying Nyd?

It made me skyrocket because at this point it just seemed like he wanted you to get off his tail. Like he didn't know how to actually fight against you.

It demonstrates
a) you are willing to step baxk and reconsider
b) you are not playing contradictory to your comments on playstyle
and b is important since it took very little pushing from me to get you to fix the issue.

I could definitely see scum!pep doing it, not because he's trying to buddy me, but because you're going after him. I see like this kind of strategy where if he defends me successfully, he's always behind me in the lynch list if the fight between me and accountant continues. I dunno, it's a dumb answer I think because that's me saying it under the assumption that he's scum where if I assume he's town, he could just be defending me because of a scum read on you and accountant who were at the time attacking me.

Actually both are true. I definitely wanted pressure off me because it was irritating me because I didn't feel like the pressure was just. I also have zero idea how to push a lynch in forum mafia. You're not reading my intent correctly, but not my alignment. I think you're probably town as I've stated before.

Which in that case, it's definitely something you'll learn overtime as you play more and get more experience.

I think he's trying to convey that he believes Pep is trying to remain in the shadows by keeping ny-Accountant at the forefront.

Alis you are looking for a thing to lach on atm, I don't see why. You have definetely succeded in taking the disscusion away from you.

I will say Ny, that I'm not really defending you. What I do is analyze you get a possibility of what you allingment is and then use the attack of Accountant and Alise to determine who imo is more likely to be a scum since I still belive one of them is and that is for me is Alis.

You know bote it's funny how you talk abou buddying when you are basically the one who does this from when you joined the game. First you buddy the IC who had a strong offence on another active player in Ny, then you saw me who was going against you and exactly when Gamma lynched me you started buddying him. What it seems you are doing is trying to get to the better people in the game and eliminate the "newer" players from behind there backs.

Basically from when I started going on Alis. So that means from page 18-19. Mostly analyze the way he reacts to everything I say against him.
