You know how expressing your reads work, right?
I know, I will explain

I was responding in that way to DP because it seemed like he was trying to "gotcha" me by saying it is ludicrous for me to change my read even though he hasn't been around

It's kinda emblematic of my read on DP overall tbh

he seems more focused on "getting people" then like actually sorting

I feel the same way when I look back at how he called my way way early game vote on Out of Order "Terrible." and jumped on me
Do you honestly expect me to respond to that differently than I did?

It's also come to my attention that the people who know DP don't really seem to have good reasons to town read him

or it's more just like "he'll resolve" or "he could be scum but we don't want to D1 him" and thinking that people who knew him better than me had good reasons to town bin him was a large part of the reason I backed off in the first place

That's interesting cause the last post I read you thought I was town again. Now I am scum without having posted anything new? :D
ya i changed my mind
Why? I didn't post anything. Are your reads just arbitrary?
like the "Are your reads just arbitrary" assumes a level of malice and shows that he's going into the discussion with an intent to try and make me look bad

or at least that's how it comes off to me

it wasn't just "hey why did your read change"

it was "why did your read change and also DISCREDIT"
I am discrediting it. Why would I give credit to it? Because at best when you post that you are bad town, and at worst you are mafia, either way, why should I respond to that in any way other than I did?

Any way, I am not interested in shitting up the thread responding to this.

Go ahead and explain yourself while I catch up to the thread.

I am reasonably confident Grack is town. As mafia it‘d have been more convenient for him to add to the pool of players suspecting me.

He went for an approach that made him harder for hin to vote me if the opportunity arised.
My own alignment is my most trustworthy piece of information, and I just felt that he gets me.

DP is another matter. Having me D1d several games in a row would at best make him heartless as town and at worst mafia, so standing up for me was NAI.

I already know he’s not heartless from his EoD on TL’s last game when he last-minute-discerned my alignment correctly. But he will yeet you if you don’t meet effort expectations.

For me he’s not a D1 lim anyway because I know he can just solve it later if he’s town.

All of this to say that I’m not going to vote him on D1 no matter what. Strong players are self-resolving no matter their alignment,
I dont think i am ever confident enough to yeet DP D1, no matter what. So yeah i agree there.
I disagree with Grack though, if he is mafia there are reasons to not push you (and discredit for instance me for thinking youre mafia) even if he cant yeet me. I mean at the state of the game was. Hell he can even think agreeing eith you on Luca as them being scumbuddies is okay since thread consensus is "Luca = super town".
We'll see though, if he follows up on what is supposed to be in his head.

Why the vote ?
It's just random
The more i look at this, this whole scene here looks very unnatural and sketchy.

Random voting stage stands for this; You place a vote on someone hoping it would spark a reaction that is unexpected from them as town.

Now from Roden's side:
- There is a reason Roden voted for Vivax. the vote is not random. I don't care what the reason is, but there is a reason why he chose Vivax from all the players. Now Vivax responds with "why the vote?", which is (or can be considered) an unexpected reaction to a seemingly random vote. As i put it, "why so scared Vivax?"

From Vivax' side:
- I don't find it completely unreasonable to ask "why the vote". However, Vivax fairly well knows what RVS stands for and should not be interested in the vote at all unless he is either thinking there's some suspicious activity behind the vote (why Roden chose him of all the players), or trying to counter-bait a reaction from Roden (which should be expected with the "scummy" answer -- "why the vote?").

Instead of anything happening, fucking nothing at all happens with here, while both players have reasonable reasons to push this further. If not to find mafia, at least start the discussion about something relevant. I find this very likely to be S/S interaction.
After our recent conversation, I'm realizing that half this player list is running into culture shock with the other half and the friction just leads into scum reading over disagreements

This game is unfortunately just going to be harder than usual due to having to parse what is just friction and what is actually scummy

Honestly? I don't know you and don't necessarily know how you react to stuff as each alignment. But I do think generally town has more curiosity about read changes like that, and are less prone to jump on perceived inconsistencies as scummy.

I think your gameplay pretty much consists solely of jumping on perceived inconsistencies in everyone's posts but not really doing so in a way that shows you're curious about my alignment.

When you started asking me about my read change on you you began the discussion ready to shed me in a negative light

when you called my OOO vote in the early game terrible you didn't bother asking me my thought process behind it until I started interrogating *you*

I reread the entire thread cause why not and roden cannot find anything to post about other than me. I think its fairly obvious hes not actually parsing whats happening and just trying to be active by "catching up" and not being relevant to the conversation.

There should be nothing wrong for her to do that, it would just give her more suspects.
Or is it just being irrational = mafia?
Scum and null are not that much different to mafia

The real question is why she town reads dann after apparently seeing only a vote post, on her, with no explanation.

When the best reason to think dann was town was the case she didn’t read…
Posts like these I also scum read you for

It's like "ahah here is an inconsistency in Ninja's post!" ergo she must be scummy?

Like there's no curiosity on your part. There's no trying to interrogate how that could come from town. The tone and the way this and lot of your posts are worded feel like your primary goal in thread is to cast suspicions on people, not figure out who is scum

Felt it from across the globe once, when I gave him reason to be upset with me. Maybe I‘m just nuts but I felt it.

The force. The juice.

Now, why would you rather get rid of the prospect of having that on your side instead of befriending him if he‘s capable of that ?

I also keep returning to this response to my initial push on DP.

DarthPunk's response isn't to try and figure out whether I'm "bad town" pushing him or mafia pushing him. Instead his initial inclination is to focus on how the case doesn't make him mafia. Again, I don't think a town player's inclination here is to try and debunk the case point by point.

DP spends doing pretty much exactly that

And then he follows up with to ensure that everyone knows that the quality of my case is bad.

He's focused on the quality of my case, not my alignment. I really don't think this guy has been or is still trying to figure out what my alignment is, or anyone's alignment for that matter

Being antagonistic because someone saw their status challenged.

Dann is supposed to be something like a personal champion of the site I think.

Maybe the fact DP could outshine him in the long term wants him to shut DP down.
It‘s kinda townie, but won‘t be helpful. Every duck measuring contest on TL ended up being tvt.
