day one into the first post of day two (written during the night) of this (iso posts 1-19) is probably the best example of my doing so (thought i was informed minority up until that point, there was a twist et cetera but all of that not so important to the point here)

(can even find elements of this in the way i sought out datisi to interact with at different points of last normal blitz which is why i originally started thinking about this here)

In post 385, shiki wrote:hm

Jacket kill is a bit odd given this post, which I sort of agreed with at the time though didn't say it explicitly.

I was already at least leaning town on shiki and this makes me more confident in that, because I don't think she plants this idea in twilight and then just offs Jacket anyway. I can
maybe
envision some sort of 7d chess gambit where she does that
just
to make people like me think exactly what I am thinking, but in reality I just do not expect that sort of thing to happen much.

feel like i am more or less confirmed; like one would have to believe that i intentionally made the game much harder for myself with my approach to dorsey to believe i was mafia here,

most likely explanation for jacket kill to me would be because mafia thought jacket was somewhat likely to be a mason due to hammer with no claim, but am curious if there are others

oh yeah, another thought. dorsey flipped rolecop, so the odds that they were bussed is probably lower than usual?

Pretty sure it's just Looker, for lack of any other plausible options.
Maybe
Datisi but I've found his play pretty towny, particularly today: there is just no scum motivation for them as scum who didn't bus to come out with good arguments that scum was not busing. And as for Cape I don't believe he just sits there no-voting at end of day when his buddy is on the chopping block.

VOTE: Looker

I do, but I doubt it'll be helpful or I would have given it already. But here goes...
Vander...I've only seen them protect Shiki and OMGUS me
Jacket...I like them but didn't want to broadcast it because they said they townread me. I was trying to emulate their reaction testing with Shiki but I don't have as many posts.
Bug...Doesn't really say much. I know you said people were calling them scum, but I didn't see much reaction.
Cape...I don't see a really telling connection with anyone. (They had unvoted Jacket but Micc just didn't catch it - had to get that off my chest)
Wheels/Datisi...Please don't make another cult. LGW struck me as a background character and I don't know what made them leave.
Looker...Minimal iso with vote shifts. I'm biased towards this behavior because I do the same thing unless I'm replacing in and there's already content.
Shiki...I don't agree with everything the slot says, but I'm okay with believing for now that a slot wouldn't be so effusive if they didn't believe what they were saying.
Umlaut...Thought the E-1 was weird. Also leery of the pass given to Datisi for perceived contradiction or "madness", but I think that's just because I'm leery of Datisi.
Also if I kind of squint at this and let my confirmation bias run rampant then the 'read' on Looker is pretty weird and seems like excuse to townread them without claiming there's anything particularly towny about them (Dorsey is 'biased toward' players who... don't post much?)

In post 178, Vanderscamp wrote:I think Dorsey has the highest chance of being scum because I really didn't like their read that shiki was scum for not voting.
Having that read in the first place was somewhat fair, but the part I really didn't like was him maintaining the read when shiki gave a pretty strong justification for it, including stating that not voting is something she often does.
I think what shiki had to say around that period was probably the towniest anyone has been this game and I dislike that Dorsey didn't pick up on that.
My townread on shiki is stronger than my scumread on Dorsey.

I still dislike Jacket's defensiveness and his reads, but I'm less sold on this being scum indicative now and more thinking it is just his playstyle to take things too seriously. The biggest part of me gaining this read was when he said "congratulations" when someone said they thought he might be a serious player or whatever it was.

I'm also happy to sheep Umlaut's read saying that Datisi wouldn't say they didn't want to kill Umlaut but then voting there anyway for a minor town lean.

yeah
I disagree with this, I think Cape is vastly townier than specifically enchant and I wouldn't even consider voting Cape before enchant.
Voting is relevant but not the be all and end all.

I'm pretty sold on voting Looker today.

I would vote there except I believe that will put Looker at E-1 and I don't think it's necessary to vote right now on the off chance someone who isn't aware of the count accidentally hammers.



I don't see myself voting any of the Dorsey voters today, I would need a pretty good reason to do so. I still think enchant is generally scummy, but nowhere near close enough to want to kill today. I actually think the vote on me is towny, I can easily see the vote on me as being a town who just has no clue what is going on rather than a mafia agenda.


Cape I think is extremely towny for writing a 2000 word essay on why someone (Datisi?) is scum, only to quickly reevaluate about five minutes later. That is BALLER as mafia because it is just such a pointless waste of time.

Between looker and Datisi, I think it's a pretty easy decision to vote Datisi. Datisi has been townier, and I think looker's analysis post of likely partners and likely buddying was probably bad enough to lose its "analysis" title, it was just a sequence of posts without any kind of clear thought progression behind it.
