Good afternoon! Let’s solve this game
This is my first time repping in so I’m hyped
I read through the game and wrote this as I went through. All done before night ended so keep that in mind
Before catching up I read some of the last page, and looked at the death thing with roles on the opening post before reading through the game so I’m looking at this already knowing the dead people’s roles
From what I read of last page I think RR is conftown from a desperado shot
Spoiler:
Post 45: The last 2 sentences of this post are terrible, wow
Also what’s the point for a mafia member to claim that their role will be resolved by N2? Especially that early, seems like a tricky play and not worthwhile
Koopa’s points are mostly correct though communicated in a displeasing way

This is minor partner equity with Bulge, Gamma, STD and N_M
The way ShadowGirl echoes RR does not seem partnerlike
The way she questions Gamma also does not seem partnerlike
Post 102: I feel like a partner interaction would be more elaborate on Gamma’s end here? To establish real distancing. Shadowgirl takes the question more seriously than Gamma does and that gap in seriousness I think isn’t too likely to come from scummates

Post 130/131: what is this?
“I have a high win rate so I’m right” god I thought people played mafia to actually try to solve the game collaboratively and have fun, not to flex on everyone else how they have a higher win%?
Being dismissive is almost always anti-town but pretentious players loooove to do it, regardless of alignment
This isn’t actually really relevant, Koopa’s gameplay just irks me.
Post 162: Minus associatives between SG and NM I think? The added comment on not seeing anything town indicative kinda looks less partnerey, but considering the way NM plays that’s also a stance SG could take when partnered with NM
SG isn’t mentioning Bulge much… (tbf not many people are in general)
Gamma prob just town
Post 198: Dunno if I like this one
Post 203: SG/NM still doesn’t seem like scum/scum
Post 205: The second-to-last sentence here sucks, why are you engaging with other players in this way?
Post 206: I agree with this one
Less relevant knowing SG scum so that’s the only possible partner for him but generally interactions with NM have not seemed S/S
Post 207: Weren’t you literally complaining about people reacting to your claim earlier?
Post 213:
Post 214: “I'm not going to be sorry for not initially reading your preemptive claim and your reaction of wanting to shut everyone up about it as some sort of pro-town 4d chess move.” Good take
Post 217: “Cool. Are you going to engage me with when I ask questions to you or is your approach as 'town' to just ignore everyone you don't like?” Also a good take
Post 221: Agreed
Post 223: what even is this?
Post 247/248: Yeah Gamma’s town, isn’t she
Post 250: this is not S/S interaction, Gamma and RR town
Post 251: True
Post 252: Still not S/S interaction, once again Gamma town
Post 261/263: townspewwwww
Post 270: Trueeeee
Post 273: Ooh boy does this feel like distancing… SG just said she’d be willing to claim and Kcda said they believe Koopa. SG seems to think she’s getting limmed, and has switched to damage control mode. I think this points most to The Bulge as a partner since that’s where she votes but mayhap NM a bit
Either way I don’t think Gamma/RR can be the partner here. Shadowgirl has too many negative equity interactions with them and positive equity interactions with NM/Bulge for that to be the case
Post 277: This is not how scum interact, also I do not notice Kcda softing
Post 289: did not notice this either, I definitely need to start actually keeping my eye out for PRs or for claims because my mindset is always assuming everyone in the game is a vt and that isn’t always very helpful. Also is 82 the soft? Is that a line from one of the characters? I’ve watched a fair bit of AA playthroughs but am not familiar with it. Waitwaitwait it’s post 8 I’m an idiot, is that an Oldbag claim? I don’t think she has a son though? Dunno who else it’d be though, the only other AA character I recall talking about the good old days and things like that is Grossberg, which happens to be me
Post 321: Yeah RR’s approach of looking for a claim before lim doesn’t seem like what scum would do right before a bus. 308/309 still does not look like partner interaction but this is probably redundant since I think RR got shot by desp
I should probably check to actually confirm it but also not knowing means that the way I read things will be less tunnel visioned (on the 3 people who can be scum in that case) and that’s probably better for me to have the full picture of the game?
Post 322: Is SG voting on NK15 (who NM is also voting) an attempt to build associatives with NM right before she dies? I still don’t think Shadowgirl believes she can escape being limmed here, especially with her on E-1 and NM looming on the horizon
Like how does Shadowgirl aligned with NM benefit from voting NK15 here? There isn’t any significant reason to do it in that situation, methinks
Probably SG/Bulge
Post 333: Why an NK15 kill?
Post 351: “obviously koopa is untouchable today” Ugh maybe this is conf bias since I already think Bulge is scum but calling a player “untouchable” instead of saying that we shouldn’t lim them definitely rubs me the wrong way. Sounds more like scum looking at their options for the day than town making a legitimate constatation, just a slight wording thing but I think it may be telling
I don’t like this post in general, it just seems like someone inventing a thought process to start a push on someone and then just leaving
Bulge just has not seemed actively trying to solve the game
They’re posting reads with the thought processes to get to them, but I don’t get the feeling those reads came from a genuine attempt to solve, more from obligation
They could also just be a townie with a lack of energy though
I may just be confbiasing Bulge at this point
Post 354: Like I said earlier I think there was a period of time where Shadowgirl was in damage control mode and therefore her votes may have been placed less for a mechanical purpose but for setting up future days so I disagree with this point, STD’s dead now though so I guess it’s pointless
Also what’s the point for a mafia member to claim that their role will be resolved by N2? Especially that early, seems like a tricky play and not worthwhile
Koopa’s points are mostly correct though communicated in a displeasing way
