Lol I grossly exaggerate my success rate.

My recollection is one game where I spotted a post that seemed to be coming from a scum-motivation that was at the same time using stilted language.

1/1 still equals 100% though. Great statistics.

You know Oats I'm going to be laughing my ass off if my random hunch that Hu Tao red-checked you caused you to fumble your response to her question making Dann push you.

VOTE: DarthPunk

so im switching gears.
Okay so I’m trying to rationalize this vote as mafia!gob

Assuming mafia!dann
This is a quick distraction play to discredit dp and sow some confusion, it’s extremely basic and likely to break down under more intense scrutiny especially once dann flips.

Assuming town!dann
I just don’t see any reason gob swaps here, it’s super striking and he’s been doing a good job of floating around without attracting too much suspicion and he votes the 1 person that thinks he’s mafia.

Idkkkkk I mean maybe I’m giving gob too much credit
This post approaches Gob from a weird angle to me. I don't think Oats was scum reading Gob at the time but his default approach is to consider whether it would make sense for Gob to make his vote as mafia based off the two possibilities for Dan's alignment. This seems like a very unnatural approach to me. The more normal reaction imo is just to try to get more information.

At the same time as Oats make this post DP is questioning me on my read on Gob, which leads to me voting Gob to try to get an answer for his Dann posts and Oats reacted like my vote was ridiculous.
In post 1546, Oatsmaster wrote: Grack what are you doing cmon
At the end Gob never even responded about Dann he just came back into the thread and claimed mafia.
I also want to follow up on this.

The ending of Oats' post seems crafted/unnatural as well with the 'idkkkkkk i mean maybe I'm giving gob too much credit'.

This is a very big tell for me. If a post seems to be scum-motivated/seems like it's coming from an unnatural place and at the same time utilizes stilted language/unnatural speech, very likely it's coming from scum.
You think oats is forced to bus now?

I'd assume if Gob is mafia the team has realized by now that he's not going to live through to the endgame.

I mean it doesn’t make sense to me personally that people react badly to vague claims especially if they’ve played more than 1 game of mafia

People are taking issue with her reasoning being inconsistent (ruling out active players as mafia at some points and moving them into teams in other points), but the reality is that she's just posting her thought process way more than she needs to as mafia and changing her reads more than she needs to as mafia. To me she seems like an open book.

There's also posts I liked where she was complaining that she put a lot of effort into analyzing the vote counts from the previous day and that nobody bothered to respond to her posts about it. I think that's a very townie thing to do.

She doesn't come off to me as super experienced with mafia in a way that she could pull this off as scum. I haven't seen many people that are able to pull off this level of activity and openness as scum.

I want to see a flip first.

I got way too bamboozled with preflip associations in the last obs, as you know.

I want to flip gob so we can agree on that part at least
