@Cheeky head

What's your take on this post?

Implosion is oldschool and sees scum focus on mech like clockwork and he should be shot on sight.

This is, not true? I generally don't consider almost anything like "focusing on mech" to be alignment-indicative outside of context, and I think the context of the tone in which Vulture did it is townish.

Scum might focus on mechanics sometimes but it was page three and and Vulture had already said they were going to drop it at that point.

And is your read on Vulture dependent on your read on implosion?

My initial take is what made me doubt Iverson being town. It felt like a hard throw of Implosion under the bus over such a small thing but over time I've come to see a lot of manoeuvring from Implosion in terms of when and what they post so I'm more confident that in a SvT of d

My read of vulture is independent. They feel too safe. And as I said earlier I believe scum are going to look townier than in other setups here, hence my push against anyone towny until I feel the reads on them are justified. I feel less suspicious of vulture because they seem active in a more organic way than Implosion.

Ugh... in an SvT of Implosion/Iverson that Iverson is the T.*

Where is this emotional response coming from My question is a pretty straightforward self-meta request.

I get annoyed when I get questioned. Makes mafia a great game choice. ^.^

Self-meta is pointless but I'll indulge you. What do you want me to say about myself?

[The Cheek of Gamma]

Yeah I'm reading backwards.

[The Cheek of Gamma]

I wouldn't say frozen, but possibly scum based on meta and him being so awkwardly town. I do have a bad habit of scumreading people just because they're towny though haha. Not sure about Coalition, I mean maybe? Scum theatre more likely between vulture/implosion imho and they both fit scum meta of sitting back avoiding the ripples.

Do you often base your reads on site meta?

No. It was a one-off observation. How is this helping you to solidify any kind of read on me?

guiltylion can you please post more almost every other person in this game is driving me mad

I just don't understand how 3 people have Art in their coalitions.

One person said they think Art is town for no reason, another person said they're sheeping that person, and another person has now added them to their coalition (though to be fair cheeky has now asked about swapping art with koba).

Where is this coming from? It's entirely possible Art is town but they're seemingly bubbling into coalitions with no actual reason, and I feel like if the coalition fails it's going to lead to a sort of poisoning effect where we can't really resolve anything without eliminating them. I mean maybe that's for the best even, idk. I still just am so skeptical of people claiming they can read strongly into art; I can buy koba's take that it's just unlikely that a townie would have a me/koba team as their take but I don't think it's like, particularly strongly likely to be correct. And none of the people who have included art in their coalition have given a valid reason why they're town afaict.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. The 10 or so words I can pull from the MS paints seem to be showing some kind of progression which I guess is fine.

I do like your thoughts on poisoning the waters. I was kind of thinking we could use the coalition as like a check with us out of it on who people most town read given that I think it's going to fail anyway.

Did you spot the difference?

There's subtle differences.

You interacted a lot more with Elsa (town game) than Asteria (scum game). Elsa was scum to you for not doing enough to be townie (your disappointment was a driving factor in parking them for so long) and Asteria was scum because they checked somebody you (claimed weak vig) said you would have shot, but what really went on in 2205 is that you were pushing shading your partner and jumped ship onto Asteria and tied them to Anya. Asteria was more collateral damage as a result of your narrative. I didn't read the entire game but I want to read the entirety of day 4 some time just to see how the town let your team sweep them. The bait and switch seemed obvious with flips on the board. Overall I felt you were more of an observer that let the town kill itself which contrasts with the town game.

I feel like there's tonal tells but rather than say them I'd prefer to wait until something concrete with them comes up.

cuz my boy Prism told me Implosion's a scumbag and I can always blame him if the read is wrong.


Also I'm just sticking to townteaming the people I think I have a decent read on and I'm not gonna bother trying to read people I might not be able to read well.

>:/
so you're just reading implosion based on the say-so of your predecessor? That seems like a pretty shitty way to play. If your predecessor is wrong, it allows for no correction of the read because there's no effective way to change the mind of someone who has left the game.
you've netted a demerit to your townpoints, because tbh this feels like how scum!menalque tried to SR me off my predecessor's meta in Pokemon Ruby Mafia
-G

This comes across like a punishment for not townreading implosion more than an effort to get Pooky to think critically.

I liked this exchange

[Black Ranger]

Can you elaborate on your Vulture and Kobalition reads?
