Hoping Arthur comes back or we get a good replacement. I'm also really hoping for more content from HS and SlySly at this point since those are my other two townreads. If I can feel comfortable about those three, I can figure out which two of Misere, Shannon, and Dunnstral are scum. Right now, I'm not comfortable with my reads yet.
Hello world. I'll need a bit of time to catch up. I probably won't use the "neighbor" threads all that much, so if you live next door, just talk to me here.

Need a replacement for your game? Shoot me a PM.
Can someone explain to me why the neighborhoods matter at all? The way I see it, talking there just hides critical information from the town. For example:

misere is still silent
VOTE: Misere
It would be lovely to have records of what slysly posted.

Can you walk me through how you'd see any of us as teams? me + mis, me + dunn, dunn + mis?
I would also like to talk a bit more about HS and Sly. Sly scum read HS all yesterday and tunnelled him no end. When I called him out, he basically said he's sticking to the tunnel because he's sure he's right. (This was in 345). So one of your town reads is adamant the other is scum. How do you reconcile that?

Why not ask Mis or Sly what was said?
I think neighbourhoods can be useful for town sharing information in a way that might make it tricky for scum to get a lock on the game. If you're in a situation like me and don't town read either neighbour particularly strongly, it's probably best to keep quiet. But if you are 110% sure your neighbour is town, you could share your results or targets with them. They can share the results in the main thread and take the night kill (unless they are protected), while you live to investigate/protect another day.
There's also the possibility of coordinating fake results in order to take pressure off of actual PRs. I think that's why the number of PRs in this game is unknown and why we also have neighbourhoods.
I have just come off a game where the designer's intended strategy was for the neighbours (there were only two, one was a PR) to use exactly the strategy above. Instead, we mucked it up and scum read both of them at various points, they scum read each other, and we lynched the PR because it seemed implausible. So let's not do that here. Use the neighbourhoods to work out who can be trusted and use that trust to our best advantage.
Fortunately for me and my kids, I have recently acquired a life. Unfortunately for my mafiascum presence, that life has been vacuuming up all of my time. Though I'm still in the middle of a lot, there is a break in sight. I'm still here. I'll be catching up on this and my other games tonight and tomorrow. I'll tackle the shorter ones first.

Obviously you were wrong about BTD, but what's your vibe on Dunn and HS now? You basically tunnelled HS all D1, have you had any change of mind about him? Or still the same?
BTD pushed it the least.
There was scum here...

I'm good with lynching Dunn still. HS hasn't done anything to improve in my standings. Dunn's recent buddying of Misere is noted.

I've been much busier than I expected to be lately. If that continues to be the case, I'll replace out.
I really have nothing to contribute right now. I still don't think HS is Mafia but I'm not sure why the continued push on me now. For that matter I don't
