What a gross misassessment of the situation at hand. The people who are speaking up, making their voices known might not know me, but I in fact do know quite a lot of people on this playerlist! This characterization from the silent minority mind sound accurate, especially as you yourself also do not know me, but there are quite a few familiar faces in this playerlist, even some I've played with several times! It's profoundly baffling to paint the situation as such and hurts me oh so deeply. Ask Ausuka or Firebringer about my charming appearance at the New Year dance party, ask Skygazer or osuka about my expert scumhunting in Datisi's micro normal, ask Bellaphant or Radical Rat about my helpfulness in Cosmos Mafia (which ended up having me nightkilled, mind you!), ask The Bulge about our excellent teamwork in newbie 2063, the list goes on!

what is that reasoning?
If I were ready to share it, I would have done so with the vote. For now, just know that there Is reasoning.

Towwl is there a particular reason you jumped to thinking that playing with fire was a scumslip instead of using the idiom in the traditional sense of “engaging in a dangerous activity” like, I dunno, an RVS E-1?
I probably should've used a /s on that line. What initially pinged me about 60 and led me to post 64 is what I see as fake caution. After Merlyn asked me about it I noticed the wordplay (but thought it was coincidental) so I poked fun at it by calling it a scumslip.
weirdest post in the thread so far. to recap: you made up some shit that was obviously wrong, got called out on it, and backpedaled off of “it was a joke?”
it’s amateur hour
Original post made it pretty clear to me it was a joke? Not towwl's fault you can't read
In post 85, towwl wrote:
It's very clearly a scumslip as she responds to somebody sheeping her as "playing with fire" when the title of this game characterizes the mafia as fire.
The more serious reason is [yadda yadda yadda]
I was asking cuz I dunno what you're saying when Towwl says he's joking in this post. Like, yeah, if it was after someone called him out then sure it could be backpedaling but this is in the same post. Jeez the Wheeze

This isn't a big deal but for some reason I can't express it seemed more "forced" than the other random votes, and also a bit like picking on the player you perceived as least experienced.
Really dumb reason for a vote and looks like going through the motions of voting for things you think you ought to find suspect instead of things that actually are.

And since the Mafia is split between the lover pairs here, I'd expect scum to be a bit more careful when looking for targets, since the usual kind of things Town can do to look scummy that normally makes them easy mislim targets, could also just as easily be from the other scum pair.
This, btw. Towwl's tone and everything came across as super careful which is probably scum in this setup, akshually, and the reason for scumreading ausuka was a very shallow one that was unlikely to be a hit.
The reason I'm scumreading Ausuka is because that same post from her looks like scum trying to signal other scum that she is in fact scum.
VOTE: ausuka
Hmm interested on this careful scum thing actually and it could explain towwl's posting which I found tough to decipher
Hoping Drew can make things clearer

Ausuka's interactions with Bingle feel very reminiscent of Ausuka in the other games I've played with her
Her gameplay in general does tbh
Either she's very good at emulating it or she's just town again, willing to assume the latter for now

osuka "sounding like a dick" is not what's behind my feeling here
I just didn't buy that osuka actually believed what he was saying, and that mismatch between confidence and the thoughts being sent reminded me of what I scumread about Baltar in that game (who was indeed scum!). Baltar was confidently pushing his ideas but I didn't believe he actually believed in these things.
Still a bit murky on osuka but the clarification on the whole towwl thing helped on that front

Yooooooooooo the mindmeld is crazy, Umlaut town
This mindmeld feels weird. A forced RVS vote and both missing the joke in 83. Could be a pocketing attempt from Meuh
I got the joke in 83, I just tend to see these sorts of votes that are semi-serious but paired with jokey reasoning and I don't like a vote on Invisibility there
Though looking at Umlaut's post again it's definitely less mindmeldy and a lot more disliking the same posts (which I still think looks good for Umlaut to some extent)

do you have anything of substance for me to respond to? id love to point out exactly why you’re wrong, but i can’t do that unless you elaborate more on why you think you understand what i’m doing
oh btw I have nothing to ask and I think you just playing the game will be more helpful in sorting you than me asking you about anything in particular (especially since this is a general feeling I have with your posting and less something that can be pin pointed to one or two posts alone)

I feel like discussing signaling in of itself makes signaling easier for scum so while it's something to look out for, I'm not sure having long discussions on that topic is really helpful (especially since we could just like, scumhunt instead which is better anyways!)
what should i know about the state of the game as it is right now
People are complaining about mech talk when there is no mech talk. I brought up the possibility that scum was signaling each other and the pushback is that while what I think ausuka did has scum value and ausuka has stated she doesn’t think town would punish her for doing the thing with scum value, it is unreasonable for me to think ausuka would do the valuable thing that shouldn’t be punished as scum.
i should clarify; what im talking about isnt really mechtalk, its what typically takes mechtalk's place in a not-especially-mechanically-heavy setup, and thats very subjective theorycrafting discussed in a very objective sense about what to expect from each alignment in a given setup. its almost always distracting, annoying, self-indulgent at best and scum-motivated at worst. this kind of d1 discussion typically starts with scum in my experience and usually succeeds in distracting town discussions from real scumhunting.
I want to help Bingle's cause here. I don't really think she was signaling tbh, and my first impression from Ausuka's posts was that she felt confident in what she was saying. Initially I liked this but after reading over her ISO the confidence reads little scummy to me. Part of this has to do with me personally being more confident when I'm scum, and I know I can't really accurately apply that to other people but I want to push this gut feeling and this wagon anyway
Ausuka joins game -> rolls town -> gets into 1v1 early on in day 1 -> OMGUSes the other player in the 1v1 -> gets scumread for confidence and for her behaviour in those interactions -> eventually flips -> flips town -> Ausuka joins game -> rolls town -> gets into 1v1 early on in day 1 -> OMGUSes the other player in the 1v1 -> gets scumread for confidence and for her behaviour in those interactions -> eventually flips -> flips town -> Ausuka joins game -> rolls town -> gets into 1v1 early on in day 1 -> OMGUSes the other player in the 1v1 -> gets scumread for confidence and for her behaviour in those interactions -> eventually flips -> flips town -> Ausuka joins game -> rolls town -> gets into 1v1 early on in day 1 -> OMGUSes the other player in the 1v1 -> gets scumread for confidence and for her behaviour in those interactions -> eventually flips -> flips town -> Ausuka joins game -> rolls town -> gets into 1v1 early on in day 1 -> OMGUSes the other player in the 1v1 -> gets scumread for confidence and for her behaviour in those interactions -> eventually flips -> flips town -> Ausuka joins game -> rolls town -> gets into 1v1 early on in day 1 -> OMGUSes the other player in the 1v1 -> gets scumread for confidence and for her behaviour in those interactions -> eventually flips -> flips town ->

I think scum want to publicly town hunt this game. Like moreso than usual because I feel like the scum teams probably want to coordinate with each other as far as knocking off townies. The problem is townies are going to do this too because it's what townies do. So it might be hard to pinpoint where the noise is coming from but I think we can at least feel good about scum helping town sort
this feels like fluff which is a thing that is probably still scummy in this setup VOTE: Black
I think the reasoning itself is fine but the bolded bit seems like it's overjustifying which I don't love

At least one scum on Ausuka, scum loveeeeee jumping on the classic day 1 Ausuka wagon (which I would know because I have)
This is my first game with Ausuka but this kinda feels like an exaggeration? Like I am sure she has flipped scum before. Where does that fit into this?
Played with her twice, she was town both times and this happened in both games, sure she could still be theoretically scum but it's enough to find the Ausuka wagon bad

The bolded part is basically the only reason I'm voting for her lol. It's all gut
"X is scum because they're confident and I also am when scum" is fine enough reasoning, it's the wishy washyness around it and the lack of conviction being made as clear as possible

So this only happened twice? Ok so it is an exaggeration
Ausuka getting into spicy 1v1s early on in day 1, getting voted by the other player in the 1v1 and OMGUSing them, then getting scumread for her confidence in that situation is a specific enough thing that I think twice in two games is enough to form a pattern? Or do I need a 50 game sample size? Calling this an exaggeration feels like an exaggeration

I feel like a whole lot of the arguing over what scum would do in this setup is assuming scum are any better than we are at figuring out optimal play. If I were scum in this setup I would have just come in playing my usual game and not thought much about the mechanical implications for at least a while.
Echoing this regarding the whole scum townreading thing, scum are probably just playing as they normally do and looking for behaviours specific to this setup is less productive than looking for regular scummy stuff that still applies here
Pedit: I think both Meuh and merlyn are defending ausuka much more strongly than anything ausuka’s done merits, FWIW.
Yeah but, but it's not really whether Ausuka deserves to be defended because she's posting so town, it's that the arguments being made against her are full of holes.

Inference
Meuh, why would you infer that Sky is referring to the game you three were in together if she wasn't white knighting her in that game?
Because
1. I had already brought up this game multiple times so referencing it would make more sense than referring to another game
2. Scum Skygazer/town Ausuka is a specific enough scenario that it narrows down the possibility of it being a different game a lot
3. Skygazer was responding to me, so it'd make sense for him to refer to that game and to explicitly state if he wasn't
4. Pretty sure Skygazer only recently returned to the site and as such wouldn't have an extensive pool of recent games to have WKed Ausuka in
5. 507 very heavily implies that there isn't another game that I'm not aware of
