Welcome,
You are aware that precisely one of you is aligned with the mafia. The mafia selected who would be part of this neighborhood during Night 0.
READ IT AND WEEP SOMNUSIn post 190, Dannflor wrote:Somnus is scummy but there is also something else going on there maybe. Like, 148 is weird because it's such complete and utter anti-spew. Which, yes, you might attribute to weak scum in the small hood who doesn't want to incriminate their partner. But that post is also anti-spewy towards their own neighborhood? And they don't need to be?? It'd be pretty easy to at least just focus on Lucian and Scared Bear and then you can at least generate content instead of whatever that post is
it makes me think there exists a world where Somnus is just neurotic town, probably not a very big world buuuuut
idk I'd like to see them come back to thread and try to make a post that isn't information over analysis
I guess I'm also paranoid because I don't really feel I have a reason to town read SCRRRDBEAR yet. There's not anything scummy I just haven't seen anything that I feel is unlikely to come from scum like I've felt from Lucian
I suppose I don't really like the initial push on Isis and then retraction, it feels slightly too like, "oh look I am having a read trajectory." if that makes sense? that might be uncharitable and I don't really have a strong reason to back that up other than gut, but the strength of their original push seems at odds with how they now disagree with it. i don't have a sense of what makes the initial push less valid now bc I feel like only part of the case had to do with the quality of Isis' posts? bear pls explain?
I guess I would put my read of that neighborhood as like Somnus >> SCRRRDBEAR >>> Lucian as far as likelihood of scum goes
======================
My town read of Pooky mainly comes from the fact that he isn't playing hard at all. I feel like mafia in the large hood is going to feel some pressure to establish a presence early and play relatively seriously. especially if that individual is familiar with the playerlist? idk i just think if mafia is within [isis, cephrir, pooky, sircakez], then they are going to feel the need to like carry the game as the non-expendable scum and also to establish themselves early amongst a playerlist that knows each other decently well
I don't really think Pooky shit posting and not doing much of anything really lends him to influencing the game much at all, which feels really bad for him long term?
[cephrir, sir cakez] are the two who I feel have been forcing their "solviness" and presence a little more. sir cakez' early posts feels like sorting to sort. calling me and Lucian TvT feels easy for someone who knows our alignments but I don't how actually clear that is? I don't get a sense the town read on me is that sophisticated
I see where Isis is coming from in town reading 171 though. I think it's pretty genuine just I also don't think it's an impossible scum post to make.
cephrir isn't forcing the solviness obviously but I feeeeeel like he's forcing his presence a little. like he feels the need to post. undetermined if scummy or neuroticism but it fits the portrait of what I would expect scum in that group to be doing
Radja's posts haven't really left an impression on me. Going back through I kinda wanna town read #145 for being so hedgy. I liked Cephrir's initial logic for Radja town but I realized that it completely misses that Lucian or SCRRRDBEAR could be an experienced player who aligned these neighborhoods this way? I don't actually know if Lucian is an alt but the bear clearly is and I could see that being a BEAR/Radja angle. If Somnus ends up being scum though then I think it still holds some water.
Isis is an excellent player so my read confidence on her is only Medium, but I think her posts have largely been Good while simultaneously feeling fairly Relaxed. I also maintain #33 isn't really something I think scum!Isis would want to post here
WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS THEN? I WILL EAT MY LEFT KNEECAP IF CAKEZ IS SCUM IN THE BIG KID HOODIn post 12, Lucian wrote:I'm not sure if I agree that's post's obviously scummy...
It is a bit performative, I guess, but not so much so?
I AGREE ON CEPHRIR (ANNOYING AND TOWN) AND RADJA (SUS.) I HAVE LEARNED NOT TO ENGAGE WITH CEPHRIR TOO MUCH. THEY ARE EASILY AGITATED AND THAT AGITATION CAN TRANSFER ONTO OTHERS. CEPHRIR USUALLY HAS GOOD READS WHEN LEFT TO HIS OWN DEVICES.In post 14, Lucian wrote:I guess I'm currently mulling between SirCakez and Radja? But I also wouldn't be too surprised if I'm wrong, it's early game. I did kind of like Dannflor voting Radja despite having a townlean there, though, felt kinda organic.
Cephrir is hella annoying me right now, but I don't think he's necessarily scum for it.
THIS LOOKS LIKE SCUM TRYING TO POCKET YOU BECAUSE YOU DISPLAYED VULNERABILITY IN BEING EMPATHETIC TOWARD DANNFLOR'S INDECISION. YOU PERCEIVE HIM TO BE LIKE YOU IN THAT HE REALLY WANTS TO SOLVE THE GAME AND IS UNSURE WHERE TO LOOK. HOWEVER, IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR OWN ISO, THERE IS A LOT MORE DETAIL AND CONVICTION TO YOUR SOLVING THAN DANNFLOR IS DEMONSTRATING IN THIS GAME.In post 268, Dannflor wrote:Yeah, although I'd try to replicate it as scum too if I thought it would be advantageousIn post 265, Lucian wrote:Dannflor, would you say that 190 is a typical town-you post?
I am often very waffley in my reads, I do think I actually had some stances of value in that post though
I was thinking about the game in the car on my drive home and then made that post when I got home and it was kind of a way for me to get my thoughts oriented about the game, so I think maybe the points I eventually got to were kinda obfuscated by all the fluff. Sometimes I'm better about cutting that fluff before I post but I was too lazy this time

I DON'T THINK THIS IS GENUINE, I THINK THIS IS POSTING JUST TO LOOK ACTIVE IN THE THREAD.In post 314, Dannflor wrote:I am hereIn post 304, Cephrir wrote:I want the slot to post more before we seriously contemplate killing it anyways tho

THERE IS NO FOLLOW UP TO SORTING CAKEZ WHICH WAS THE ALLEGED TOWN!DANN MOTIVATION BEHIND 313. ALSO, 352 AND 353 LOOK LIKE POORLY THOUGHT OUT BUS VOTE.In post 353, Dannflor wrote:I think it quite valuable to flip somnus and taking for granted that Somnus is definitely scum is hubris
I feel like this is a very similar thought to what I was thinking WRT SirCakez. Interesting.In post 17, SCRRRDBEAR wrote:THERE IS NO FOLLOW UP TO SORTING CAKEZ WHICH WAS THE ALLEGED TOWN!DANN MOTIVATION BEHIND 313. ALSO, 352 AND 353 LOOK LIKE POORLY THOUGHT OUT BUS VOTE.

YES DANNFLOR'S VOTE LOOKS LIKE LAZY BUS VOTE TOO. I THINK YOUR PUSH ON CAKEZ IS PRO TOWN EVEN THOUGH I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S CORRECT. IT'S INTERESTING WHAT PLAYERS DO WHEN THEY THINK THEY AREN'T BEING WATCHED.In post 22, Lucian wrote:I mean, I've been harping on SirCakez for his vote on Somnus feeling like a poorly timed nonsense bus vote, but it seems like Dannflor's vote could very easily fit that description too.
