I see it gets to page 7 only to be disappointed because most of it is Andante talking to herself.

I think it's a fairly wild misinterpretation of my play this game, which is not really apathetic or unmotivated, just quiet. I'm biding my time, in particular because I don't think the content generated so far is significantly alignment indicative for the most part.

Basically yeah, the scumreads on him feel more based on playstyle than anything. It is, granted, incredibly annoying, but that doesn't mean it's coming from scum. If I had to guess it's more toward the town side right now but that's a very forced read.

What's giving u thay vibe? Or at least, why alpha zombie specifically?
It's very angle shooty. Replace out after going VLA pings me. The slot was already getting scum read but wasn't going to be around to defend themself. If town or a Goon then it would be just be whatever, the wagon would probably dissipate anyway. But if you're the game ending role there's going to be a sense of responsibility and pressure to play well enough to not auto lose Day 1. So replacing out makes sense if you don't want to feel like you're letting your team down.

Yeet's read on the slot also feels off. They're hard defending them on very little, but Fire is hard scum reading them back. It's a weird interaction that makes me think it's just damage control to give Fire better standing among the potential elim choices for the day. Yeet cuts off the Fire wagon before it can stabilize and starts taking the heat instead by making odd/chaotic posts. But because Fire is one of the first players voting Yeet and cased them early, it won't look bad for Fire in the case of a red Yeet flip. It would be reasonable to say Yeet is just trying to pocket Fire in that case.

Yes, this assumes a lot and I'm seeing associatives/pre-flipping two people way too early. But their interactions don't feel natural. Fire's case on Yeet comes out too hard and too fast, and Yeet isn't reacting to any of it and is just repeating "Fire town" over and over.

Okay. I found that post especially bothersome given that I've expressed almost no reads to this point. You had also already stated a scumread on me prior to those posts, so I'm skeptical that that was a genuine thought.

In post 430, humaneatingmonkey wrote:let's go bomb hunting

yeet is probably not a bomb, if scum
Should say this thought process occurred to me but the last time this was ran the mafia mostly did nothing and rolled over, gamma emerald hard defended his teammates as the bomb until the wagons became him vs his teammate at which point they were forced to bus.

Any assumption that the mafia are going to play tactically in some manner assumes they have not just the foresight to play strategically but also the ability and willingness, which tend to be in short supply. Most of the time scum don't have a ton of...intentionality behind their actions, especially on day 1.

theorizing that fire is the bomb with yeet as a teammate is attractive but probably incorrect.

what's he doing?
This is a summary of his actions, but why does any of it particularly point to him being scum? I think his posts so far are fine. Entirely in line with what I've seen of his town play.

Redundant read at this point but Andante seizing on the fire read and hard tunneling it makes her likely town.

If you pull up skitter/catboi's isos - there's a marked lack of discussion of bella/fire's actual alignment despite engagement around the slot which feels susp.
1. Do you think I deliberately avoid a teammate in that way?

2. Independent of any associative reads, why is fire mafia?

his style here is a lot more proactive and decisive - here he feels more noncommital/careful/worried
Okay, but I don't think a difference in demeanor is necessarily alignment-indicative, and realistically you should know that. There can be other outside factors that influence someone's play like their general mood or a different gamestate. I had basically no opinion on Bellaphant - she gave some unexplained townreads, the one on Umlaut was puzzling, but I've seen townies give bizarre reads before. I wanted her to explain it more, but then she replced out. I have basically no read on fire so far. Their posts do not sway me either way.

I put my vote there precisely to get him to answer, because I didn't like him evading the question. If was the first thing this game I found to be strongly suspicious and that overrides any sort of vague gut feeling I had prior to that point. To me, his explanations for his read both on me and on you feel like they were backfilled - like he started from a conclusion and then went back to find evidence to justify it, but the timeline for when he stated the reads and the posts he cites as reasons don't line up. Which makes me think they weren't real thoughts.

The day 1 herosolve attempts are going to make me lose my mind. I cannot emphasize enough that trying to worldbuild around elaborate theories is significantly more likely to be wrong and unhelpful than making more individualized reads.

Ari's herosolve reads like a bad joke which makes me doubt its sincerity.

umlaut gets scumread a lot for bad reasons and everything so far is within his town range. Case is bad, dude. I'm not saying it makes you scum, either (I don't think you are). I recommend dropping it.

There were six days left to the deadline. It was absolutely unnecessary to do what he did at the time that he did and it accelerated the town into an automatic loss for no good reason. I said I wanted to research more. I was not given the opportunity.

That much is true.

How much were you scumreading me while we were talking N1?
Eh. I wasn't really actively trying to sort you. I'm not going to front and say you played bad (you were the most convincing member of the scumteam imo), it just wasn't in my mind because it didn't feel like a worthwhile endeavor. Some of the stuff at the end of night might have been a little forced but that's only with the benefit of hindsight.

You were the one who placed him at E-1 to begin with, which is what lead to the day getting cut short.
