Anyone who wants to try and get into my headspace, both in terms of learning in general (since this is a newbie game) and in terms of actually trying to solve, is welcome to give it a shot

Spoiler: one post that may be a hint to what I'm thinking and why I'm thinking it

If you were making a similar list in your previous newbie games on MS around midday d1, where would scum have been?

Yea, I kind of get it that you think my read is wrong, but I have no idea why.

In my first game, I voted mostly based on fewest posts - so of course I help lynch townies on D1 and D2 and town lost fast.
So I'm looking at content now, scum-hunting content, and don't find much anywhere. Will focus on ISOing everyone and counting scum hunting posts, overly defensive posts, and 'avoidance' posts.
don't ever do the bolded as town. this lets scum forego scumhunting for lynching by activity. lurking is anti-town behavior, but it's nai. you have to look at WHY a slot is lurking. activity can be a valuable indicator but it should never be your primary or sole criterion. and, there's been plenty of scumhunting going on. if you aren't seeing it that is a problem.

So I sorta came around on Mastina being town.

That leaves me with a pretty hefty townblock.

Alright

I've read up on the game, will probably do a proper read through in the morning

Just so everyone knows, this is my first game on MS, though I've played a couple of games offsite

Welcome to the game, lemon.

Looking forward to your perspective.

As far as mine goes, it's mostly apathetic.

Being bitched at for posting too much by one player and not saying enough by another has given me a pretty much idgaf attitude right now.

Apparently you missed post 593.

You should probably read it.

That's no way to get what you want.

Pieg didn't read my post clearly enough. I learned that lesson (voting on low vote count only) in my first game. Yes, there is scum hunting going on here, but also lots of non-participation and s-posting. And some very effective hiding.

If no one else thinks Mastina is scum it's time I change my vote. Time is getting short and I won't be online at all on Monday, a day that could/should be critical. Can't help it, traveling and no internet until Tuesday morning (I hope). So I need to make my move by tomorrow. I'll ISO everyone and jump on whomever I think is most suspicious, someone not hunting but maybe pretending to do so. Anyone wanting to make a case, either way, now's your chance to try to influence me. Once I change my vote, I may not have the opportunity to do so again until D2.

If you're gonna change your vote just do it, waiting makes you look indecisive and opportunistic
