Brian's back-and-forth with Mala seems pretty contrived. Apparently not being here is NAI, but confirming and then not posting is, when there is a variety of slots that have been pretty inactive? The back-and-forth between Mala and Brian reads to me like it's activity for the sake of activity, because yeah it's very valid to say 'I don't like that', but for it to develop into a bit of bickering feels manufactured rather than natural, when you consider as well that their vote still rests onAndante. I'm a bit 50/50 on whether it's TvT or SvT, but the implications that come off the back of these two things I don't particularly like.
Also I get bad vibes from Andante because of the pretty vocal appeal to emotion over the course of D1 so far - I think in a setting I'm used to, in a vocal setting I wouldn't read it in this way, but it's being typed out and I think it's perhaps a bit more than I would expect from someone going to E-2. That said, I can appreciate the frustration from the manner in which Brian placed the vote and then dipped for a bit. I don't see the Brian scumclaim and I haven't seen an explanation of the read - could that be provided?
Brzeczyszczykiewicz's posts rub me the wrong way. Chao's post I find basically says what I wanted to say about it.
Python I'm unsure about because I agree with just about everything they say.
I town-read Black because they're saying some things that run contrary to what they were saying last game (and you better believe I read your ISO twice, Black).
Everyone else is a gelatinous blob of nullreads.
D1 Andante asked a few questions, happy to answer:
how long yall have been playing mafia10 years or so on and off, about 8 years since I last trifled with forum mafia, and since then various IRL games and I also play/mod TTS Mafia sessions with friends sometimes.
your favorite role or alignment to beIn a 'normal' game, probably mafia goon - Me and my wits and the ability to deceive against everybody (I read Politics at University, figures). In an open? Jester/Joker/Fool.

I don't know how I feel about Blue's posts, I don't think there's been any great addition to the game so far and it feels a smidge tunnelly on Chao. I do agree with the comments in response to Brian's posts, but they've also asked for commentary on Brian without any commentary themselves, just rebuttals.

I think it does look like an overreaction, but I also know that I've been guilty of the same in the past. Like I say Black, in voice I wouldn't read it as such, over text where things are very deliberately typed and spelt out and it takes minutes to construct, rather than a split-second to go 'Oi!' I'm struggling with how to balance that out as a read.
I'd be keen on hearing your opinion.

I'm going to have to insist - what are your thoughts on Brian.

I don't think so. Apart from a fairly spotty view on Chao, Blue (Blue's slot, in fact) hasn't contributed anything of note, and I don't know how they feel, not only about Brian, but about yourself Black, about me, about Python, and everyone else in the game.
So yeah, with the slot having gone 4 days without saying anything of note, I think it's pretty reasonable to insist that they offer something.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

It's an extension of the idea that the slot has contributed minimally for 4 days. I disagree with the assertion that Chao has to answer Blue's question, before Blue contributes to the game.
So I'm asking about Brian because that's an SR I have, but give ussomething.
Ninja'd: Unless you also have a SR on Chao, I disagree that Chao's answer has to come before Blue's.
And the slot has been gone for 4 days, and in the 2 days since replacing in, there's been barely anything. I want contribution, I want reads and I think having Blue's contribution tied to another player answering what seems to be a pretty vague question is frustrating at best, and pretty anti-town at worst.
Ninja'd: For context Mala, I'm saying that the reason Brian gives for pushing your slot is contrived.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

I disagree Mala, I think I have an understanding of who you have SR's on or misgivings about - I don't have any from Blue because they're voting Chao whilst also 'Townreading [his] latest developments' in #313.
To be honest the only critique I could offer is that you aren't using your vote, but I expect that would change over the next day or so as you get acclimated to the game like myself.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

Open to hammering someone without sharing barely anything in 2-3 days of gametime (4 for the slot). Nah, that doesn't come from Town. All this cloak and dagger BS doesn't sit well with me and I find it highly scummy that someone is willing to end D1 so early without even sharing their thoughts on people.
I'd encourage several more people to vote this slot and apply some real pressure with me here.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

Thats fair. I don't agree with every point in your ISO analysis of them but I can see the basis of the push.
What would it take for you to rejoin the Brian vote?
I find their self-referential meta usage in #341 fromalmost ten years agoto be pretty odd, not neccessarily NAI but is it really relevant or is it just noise? It semi-contradicts what Brian says in #265:
It's not a case, but then if you follow the thread of what Brian says, their own #341 seems to be a really weird post that I don't really understand? It's either NAI or Scum-Indicative but I don't see a townsperson saying 'You should policy me for using meta', then referencing their own meta.I only use meta to check a player's playstyle or check to see if they've done a specific action/behavior as either alignment. I'm not the type of player that presents a case on 'meta'. If I ever do this, you should policy me.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

EBWOP
On line three:
'... not neccessarilyAI'
Additionally, I get the sense that in response to the wagon forming to E-1, Brian's response was kind of nothing? It's just really odd and I'd like to see something a little more general because it appears to me that Brian has gotten away so far in D1 with using lots of words to say very little. An ISO doesn't indicate to me their thoughts on anyone other than Mala and Andante, beyond an ISO on my slot which was just a wall of quotes and a vague assertion at game-solving.
Listen I might be wrong on this and I'm wary of tunnelling (although Black knows I should probably commit more to my tunnels) but can someone critique this and pick holes in what I'm saying? I'm just getting real scumvibes from Brian.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

@Andante - That doesn't make sense. You make two points in #383:
1. That the replacement should be given a chance to speak and contribute. (I agree with this.)
2. That there's no point racing towards a lim right now. (I also agree with this.)
What doesn't make sense is that Black's actions align with point 1, but then jumped onto a wagon putting it to E-2, Blue puts it to E-1 and there's no commentary on it beyond what seems to be 'I disagree with this'. No thoughts on what's happened there at all?
For context, I replaced Wiz, and Blue replaced Nothing's New.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

I also kind of don't like that response from Blue. It feels more reactionary and I feel like it's the kind of question someone would ask to judge the read on themselves than a genuine interest in the read, because Mala didn't indicate that they actually thought anyone on the wagon was scum? To assume that Mala suspects any of the people on the wagon seems to be an assumption that town wouldn't have.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'.

379 is immediately followed up with a query in 380, and furthermore was a post that saw something I didn't agree with, outlined it and allowed 380 to query it.

Is it the most interesting topic at the moment? Not really and doesn't help us at all. You're pressuring a slot that is completely inactive at the moment and haven't given any comment on the things that are happening.
You got riled at Brian putting a vote on you without justification, I'm sure you wouldn't then go on to do the same thing, would you?

I don't disagree with this, but the primary objective and methodology that you mention here is that it's Limming Scum, and Correctly identifying Scum.In post 436, usesPython wrote:

Eh, we disagree. Black's proven that they've got the wherewithal to lie, manipulate and deceive if they want. I think people are more capable of playing to/against their meta at will that are given credit for, so I certainly won't be invoking meta on her.
If it informs part of your read sure, but if it informed someone's whole read on someone, that'd concern me.

We're over 75% of the way through D1 and I feel like basically nothing has happened, honestly I read that statement more as town because it's exploring ideas - it's not a post that Scum!Black -needs- to make at this point, and if it were Scum!Black trying to dissuade the Brian wagon, I get the sense that there would be something equally nuanced but more powerful behind it.
Had Black done owt objectively scummy previously, sure I'd have more buy-in with it but nah I don't see that at this point.

I'd be keen on you justifying your view on Blue first, and on clearly declaring intent to hammer so that Brian has a chance to claim.

VOTE: Andante
I said that there should be a delay for a claim after someone declares intent. Now that we know the claim would have been VT, I doubt it would have changed the actual lim of the day but Andante was one of Brian's highest reads and it makes sense for Scum!Dante to take the golden opportunity to get the lim across before anything. It doesn't make sense for Town!Dante to not wait, given how much time we had remaining.In post 492, Black wrote:

Also Delta you never answered my questions about your reads list. Let me find them
I didn't have time to process it and I did have another post lined up before threadlock, but for me the big issue is that if we leave Andante now and they're town, they're unlikely to be in receipt of an NK, because (whilst I can't speak for the rest of town) I would likely as it stands vote for her in the case of a three-way. I think that the hammer was a bit too convenient for Andante's future survival in the game, removing someone who SR'd her from the game.
That said, the fact that UP was NK'd throws a bit of a spanner in the Scum!Andante theory, because the NK may well have been chosen in order to further accentuate this 'SRs on Andante die' narrative, and so whilst I scumread Andante and I am voting for her, I think there's a chance that she's been set up. That said, because of the implications of not following my gut on this, I'm going to vote to take them off the board in D2.WIFOM Alert:
I agree as well with Black's assertion that UP's NK could possibly be because they were the most TR player, I'll have to quickly have a skim through but I think that UP was an optimal kill for scum last night. I don't like that Black didn't consider the above, however.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

At the time I think the game developed really quickly before I could -settle- into justifying the readslist.
I'm struggling to recall why I settled on my pre-hammer Andante read. I think that it's partially succumbing to a bit of AtE in hindsight which I let throughy guard.
Kawaii felt eager to solve, as did yourself and Python. I'm cautious of agreeing with damn near everything someone says after the other newbie we shared tbh Black - which is where my comment on Python came.
I think your vote is misplaced and you feel a little too eager to vote for me for what I feel are not very well fleshed-put reasons. I need to re-read the game before I really look deeper into that read.
Mala etc I didn't get much that was solid on tbh even by hammertime - I'd hope we get more, especially from Mala in D2.
Chao I don't feel overwhelming vibes from either side. My vibe is that I think there's a bit too much credit being given? Idk, again this is subject to a reread.
Blue is another I'm on the fence about. I don't recall many interactions between Andante and them, which as a kneejerk feels off - but doesn't sway me into looking at them to a greater extent than Andante until a reread.

Yeah nah the fact that Andante refused to elaborate upon the read they shared on Blue pre-hammer as well.
I think they need to go tbh - I don't trust them going further into the game than D2, it's either scum or an easy mislim, I lean scum on this but either way I think we need to do this.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

Black you've played one game with me - are you seriously going to use meta to try and underscore your case?
If you want to talk about knowing someone is town:
It's pretty easy to derive context where there is none, Black.once she flips town
You're so much smarter than this, I can't help but to townread you for it but I don't know how what you've pointed at that makes you then go on to suspect someone out of my 'everyone else' pile with such certainty as well. ISO me again and you'll see how my read on Blue developed naturally.
Your vote really needs to come away from me and go on Andante here.Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

I don't think there's any good reason as it stands to keep Andante in the game (nowt personal) - but to run at me?

As a very general point of order on this, you don't get to arbitrarily decide what is and what isn't alignment indicative. You disagree, that's fair, but I simply don't believe it is as cut and dry as you make it out to be. It's alarming that you seemingly see absolutely nothing wrong with the refusal to elaborate on the read on Blue, and the lack of a declaration of intent to hammer. It's also concerning that you don't seem to want to accept the natural progression from a vibes read to 'oh damn, that was scummy' at the end of the day.
If you think I'm mistaken in my logic that regardless of their play we should keep someone that is A)Scummy and B) if not Scummy, then an easy mislim into a day where we may well be in Lim or Lose, then that's fair but you've got to do some convincing on this one.
The 'Fence Riding' seems to come after my main SR was limmed, so that doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. That you find yourself having to resort to meta in order to prop up the case ought to suggest to you that it's not a strong one, and that your read needs to be re-evaluated.
I'm keen on hearing from others on their interpretations of Andante's hammer - please do critique me and the argument and get involved amongst it. This push from Black, the more I engage with it seems somewhat contrived and forced. Thoughts?Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'. Cheers! |'Black, if you're scum, I'll eat my shoe.'Never forget

Yeah - I think my view on the AtE was a bit floppy in hindsight and you've definitely got a point there. What I was saying was that I'm fairly sure that before Andante dropped the hammer vote, my slight town lean was come from vibes that the AtE was genuine and not forced. You'll appreciate that I'm having to recall this from several days ago, but I'm disappointed that I let it set in and get around my guard rather than sticking with my original interpretation which was negative.
The last bit is a mobile phone typo - 'through my guard'. I'm trying to be a little more guarded and not as trusting of people as town after being burned by it (and yeah I'm glaring at you there, Black )

Again, really keen on seeing other people weigh in on this, particularly Blue, Mala & Andante (who, in particular, I'm keen on understanding the read on Blue given without justification immediately before the hammer).Refer to me as 'Delta' or 'Tom'.

UNVOTE: Andante
Fair enough - Can you go back and justify your read on Blue please?
I find it odd that you didn't use that hammer post or the one after to do so.
Ninja'd: I mean... Okay? It feels like all you have is that you disagree with me
Triple ninja'd: Given the pressure that Black is applying with some really quite loose logic, I'm really not liking the assertion that it 'has to be' one of me or Andante. Given the claim, I'd also now suggest that there is potential that Black has an investigative mafia role and has very deliberately sought to position an argument that sides with a claimed PR
That would also in my mind cast doubt on the validity of Andante's claim, but in isolation I'm more comfortable now applying pressure here:
