Hmmm.... I'm not experienced enough to say but the start of this game feels very awkward. It seems like people are trying to seem like they already know who the Mafia are but to me there's really not much to go on. Even the things other people are saying I think they're mostly reading too much in to. I'm not sure if faking confidence or being genuinely overconfident is an indication that people are Mafia though.

I'm going to VOTE: BBmolla
This feels like opportunistically pressuring the quiet newbies to see if we crack, and just placing a vote for the sake of it rather than based on searching for Mafia.

I think those three are town because I can walk through their thought process and follow it. It makes sense and it feels like its coming from the same perspective as me. Is that wrong?
Lunar has been a bit lurky.
Lunar, what's your take on how newbie scum would play? Especially referencing Mikul's posts about me, and this post about you.
Sorry about not posting more - it's a busy time and I'm easily posting every 48 hours and I'm managing to keep up with the game.
As for how newbie scum would play: I'm not sure it would be helpful or useful for me to speculate. I don't know well enough anyway, but I'm not assuming anyone is new or plays a certain way without knowing more. I'm probably the newest person here anyway.
In post 132, unwnd wrote:I..disagree? I don't really feel like Lunar gave much of a reaction at all. I'm tracking backwards here, but nothing to me stood out in terms of what BBMolla was supposedly looking for.
When I voted on them originally, I thought the reason (lack thereof) BBmola put a vote on Lunar was scummy, and generally was suspicious of their posting style. The post I made a note of + my metaskim + peta's testimonial + more recent interactions indicated to me that my reasons for voting didn't hold anymore. Maybe there are other reasons to vote on BB, but when I see them, I'll vote then.
Thinking about it, I realize that I don't read BB as town, just not scummy anymore. Given that I do read some other people towny (hi, Illwei), maybe keeping a vote on someone I read as null is better than unvoting.
Are we to take this to mean that you currently don't read anyone as Mafia, and me a null read is your best guess?

Peta, I'm finally getting around to answering why I think Illwei, quiet, and unwnd are town. I'm gonna do a quick version, just one or two things I saw from each one. There are more reasons we can discuss if you really think it's necessary.
In post 85, quiet wrote:Quick Newbie Reads:
(I reserve the right to circle back when I get some more time)
Lunar Martian: 4 posts short posts is not enough for me to have a read. I'm not sure what BBmola thinks is so scummy about Post #67, and I'm very interested to hear about it.
Illwei: Towny town to me. Seems relaxed, putting his reads out there, I don't agree with everything he says, but I see town in the way he says it.
In post 38, Illwei wrote:unwnd was performative in a calm...something else...sorta way, and quiet was performative in a "this is a fun little bit here imma do it" sorta way.
Really like this read.
In post 51, Illwei wrote:Part of me wants to sus petapan for just asking questions, but It's early D1 and there's also...not much...else...to do...
This also seems towny to me, even though I don't sus petapan for questions.
In post 69, Illwei wrote:of course this kinda, doesn't apply as much to more experienced players, but hey! it's a newbie game, right? *sweats*
I don't think scum ever wants to be sweating day1.
Bonus round reads:
BBmola's playstyle confuses me, petapan likes questions and pressure, unwnd goes hard, where is Mr. Turtle, Mikul leans town to me, I want to like safebet222's defense of me, but I could be getting pocketed over that, and y'all experienced people make me paranoid.
I think this post is very likely to come from Town, since I think Mafia would want to discredit our mutual trust rather than reinforce it. The start of the post is all building cohesion and trust while Mafia would want to break it down. The end of the post is the only part of the post that has original analysis, and while there isn't much analysis Mafia would probably just skip most of it anyway and coast. I like quiet's vote on me a lot less, depending on how quiet responds to my questions. For now, I'm still confident in saying that quiet is Town.
Haha! no! well...In my notes I have both you and unwnd as Town (nothing yet on the others quite) but that's mostly because of...hm let me see. Multiquoting...hate it...
I'm just gonna be... hm. Can I just, quote quote here?
somewhere unwnd wrote: Quiet, how are you reading your other newbies right now?
This...well it's not incredibly towny, but both this and
somewhere unwnd wrote: I say go with it. I have no read on peta right now and It'd help me as well
Which in my first readthrough I saw as attempts from unwnd as them trying to see how people were thinking/making them (them in this case being me) commit instead of being all wishy washy as I am =P
Reading through them again...Man, I hate having my reads list be 50 shades of Null. anyways-
Okay actually in reading over my notes I don't have specific posts that felt village, it was just you asking your questions, which I felt...well,
now
looking at it I like a lot more than how I saw unwnd originally.
Ignoring this, I immediately dislike unwnd and safebet a tad for having full reads, despite there not really much going on. Safebet
was
feeling pressured it seems, and unwnd was doing it under the pretense of teaching, so...okay...
In post 120, petapan wrote:
in 92 you express that bbmolla's playstyle is not AI and say that you think he seems like an easy target, but in 101 say you're tempted to vote him out anyway. why is that?
For the exact reason that I said he's an easy target: He stands out as very different than the other players, and it feels like he isn't trying to solve. But someone else pointing it out, on an experienced player, puts me off. idk. paranoia?
As for Illwei, posts like this tell me Illwei is probably town. Rather than just responding to what people are saying, they go a level deeper by trying to get into the shoes of the person posting and trying to understand why they make the posts they do. That's an extra level of analysis that Mafia would probably have a hard time imitating.

As for unwnd (and this does apply to the others too) it's mostly a feeling. There's something tacit about the way they approach posting that reads as coming from Town to me. Perhaps I'm giving too much credit, but it *feels* like unwnd is trying to drive the game forward and get a solve.

Yeah I've been busy sorry. You'll notice I'm not posting anywhere on the site atm. I realize that sucks but I'll be back in a few days. Posting from my phone sucks. I'm sure I'll get more involved when I have more time. I don't really know how to defend myself because I'm not sure why people suspect me except that I'm quiet

If you follow occam's razor, the scum thing makes no sense.
two options:
1) I am scum. I felt scared and so made a post purposefully miscounting the W:V ratio to appear like I am a villager who miscounted.
2) I am a villager who miscounted.
Which is the simplest, I ask?
I really dislike this logic. Neither one requires a complex chain of reasoning. Obviously the Town scenario is more likely since most people are Town, but its not like the scenario where Illwei is Mafia requires a lot of assumptions or anything.

I don’t know if there’s really anything that could make it easier; I guess I just want to say that Lunar (and turtle), I’m excited to hear pretty much anything from you both, and if anyone in the thread has some ideas of where they could start to make it a little less overwhelming, it would be nice to post that. I don’t have any good specific questions for them.
I'm actually kind of concerned about how everyone seems OK with killing me not because of what I've done, but simply because I haven't done much. I'm sorry that this game started when it did. I was quite busy and then out of town. The timing is unfortunate, but it feels like people are being opportunistic in being willing to kill me when I said I was unable to post much.

In post 583, Illwei wrote:I feel more confident in my Lunar vote now that he's parroting unwnd about me.
I wasn't parroting unwnd. I'm really not reading into the 6:3 thing because while I think it's unlikely that someone wouldn't know how many Town/Mafia there are, I think its equally unlikely that Mafia would try to pretend to not know to look like Town. For that to work Mafia would have to lie about not knowing something plausible. All I was saying was that the Occam's Razor argument doesn't really apply. I'm mildly suspicious of Illwei for the way they reacted to pressure, but overall I still think that Illwei is Town for earlier posts and because I mostly agree with Illwei about who is Mafia. Mostly.

I'm still most suspicious of BBmolla and don't know why a vague claim meant that everyone backed off.
The other two people I'm most suspicious of right now are safebet and quiet. They are both being very opportunistic in being willing to kill me today, but neither seems to have a good reason for doing so.

It seems like all of Norfolk's thoughts are very much within consensus except Mikul, which almost seems to have been thrown on as an afterthought. At this point I'm willing to vote Norfolk but the way the wagon materialized within 15 minutes including 2 people I think are most likely Mafia makes me hesitate. I'll wait for Norfolk to post more in-depth analysis.

In post 626, unwnd wrote:Lunar is probably my vote that I'm going to stick with today. Illwei responded oddly to my pressure but I will note that I think they are at least trying. Lunar however speaks in a fashion that seems more like idle commentary about events going on around them and not necessarily what it personally means to them. Their takes on players very much follows thread-consensus as well, and they all seem very..safe to make. There's a certain amount of brevity in their words as well, like with their recent posts with them saying 'they can dig if requested' or 'waiting for norfolk for more in-depth analysis'. It errs on the side of caution that seems like careful scum who just don't want to upset anyone, so by appeasement they are willing to pay attention or respond to people when asked to; this is the majority of what Lunar has done if you ISO them.
Or maybe I'm just trying to get my head in this game that I wasn't here for the majority of?

Personally, I don’t think his soft claim was all that subtle at all, I thought it was cop or a fake claim entirely, with a lot more weight towards cop.
Out of curiosity, lunar, who did you protect last night?

what's your read on mikul right now?
Now that I had to claim I'm much more willing to be open and cooperative. I also am willing to work with some slots more than others. I think I trust you, Illwei, Mikul, and unwnd. I'd love to see quiet flip today, but I am fine with going safebet first too.
what I'm saying is in a world where scumlunar exists. They have to identify which 3 of those roles exist in the game based on what he said. Then match that up with another row and column for it to make sense and make us think it's a 2pr game. It's possible, just don't see it as probable. For all they know, he could have been baiting a nk, claiming a fake pr, etc. It's a huge gamble even with lunar on the block to get lynched. If he was going down and claimed doc, it would make sense because they could force doc to cc and then kill doc but that would only make sense if we are playing in the column where this is a rb. So if a fake lunar exists, we are almost certainly in a goon goon match and it was for preservation

Yes. Safebet is someone I have as basically blank. I don't think they've done much of anything, nothing that really stands out to me anyway. But I'm fairly confident in thinking everyone else is Town, so that leaves safebet. Peta is going out of his way to interact with people and engage with people and try to understand their thinking. I think that's probably hard to do convincingly as Mafia. Unwnd was a gut feeling I had, but looking back trying to justify it made me question it. More on that in my next post.

2) he's said he's totally new and his familiarity terminology and understanding of game concepts , says otherwise
3) he was not posting and lurking until I started focusing him.

We need new perspectives. If you are simply afraid to post I am listening and welcome whatever you want to say, sincerely
I think I've given my thoughts. Nothing has really happened to change my mind, so I'm not repeating myself. Quiet is still Mafia to me. Nothing about his play gives me any reason to think otherwise. I'm curious to hear what peta has to say, but for now I think both you (unwnd) and he (peta) are Town. Illwei/BM is Town. I'm also confident that Mikul is Town. That leaves safebet as likely Mafia. It makes sense too that safebet would be trying to discredit me and cast doubt on my role as Mafia. It seemed like everyone else was also either going for safebet or quiet so I really didn't think I had to be all that vocal.

I'm a bit confused at this stage. I'm still about 85% sure that Mikul is Town. I think safebet is probably who I'm thinking is the most likely candidate for Mafia, but I don't know how to decide between unwnd and peta. They are both people who just sorta seemed like Town but also suggested that they would seem that way even if they were Mafia. I'm not sure how to decide between them.

I think basically I have to pick between Mafia unwnd who has been sitting back and not doing much and letting town run down the wrong path on its own or Mafia peta who has been actively leading Town down the wrong path. On some pure theory level I think the latter is more likely, as I think it would be unlikely that an SE would use their SE status as an excuse to sit and do nothing as Mafia. Then again, maybe they were trying to teach us a lesson or expecting someone (especially the other SEs) to call them out. Peta not doing more to call out unwnd sooner again makes me think that maybe peta is Mafia, because if peta were town he'd have a stronger motive to call out unwnd for being passive.
i'm sorry i just felt like hashing things out with unwnd took higher priority. i'll be honest though that i'm not sure i have a ton to say to you right now. why do you think you're alive?
Not sure. Probably because Mafia thinks I'm not a threat and to make people ask that question.

I agree that the move is to go for safebet today probably. I also think we should sort out between peta and unwnd as much as possible today, since tomorrow presumably it'll be the two of them with me or Mikul, and today we have more brains working to figure them out.
I'm pretty confident that you're Town, and kinda doubt that both peta and unwnd are Mafia. I suppose that this argument between them could be staged, but it's unlikely.

If uwnd isnt scum as I've read him most of the game then its lunar peta. Which still just really is hard to get my head around as they have been my most two locked people in this game. I guess I could be just really bad and have been wrong about everything
If uwnd is scum, who is he likely to be scum with. I can't see it with safebet beased on their voting patterns. So UWND Peta, or uwnd lunar ? Both of these seem unlikely because uwnd did have pressure on lunar quite a bit, and lunar was following me on uwnd
that brings me back to peta and safebet
I think I'm declaring my intent for safe

That doesn't seem very sporting, and contradicts your earlier stance where you just wanted newbies to have fun and learn. I think I could vote for either safebet or unwnd here.
This just reads to me like a very confident post. I've probably touched this three times in a span of 25 minutes but just be honest with me if you're town. Why did you suspect me here where does your paranoia lie? Just give me a stream of consciousness if that makes sense.
Each piece of logic by itself makes sense. But there are reasons to suspect everyone, and they aren't all right. I had a pretty visceral reaction to that gimmick, but now with a bit of space I'm unsure about it. Even then although I thought it was scummy, I did have some doubt. The willingness to vote was partly emotional. I don't even know if I would have voted you there, although part of me was hoping that me saying that would get someone to latch on and agree, because I feel like just a little movement from someone will break this deadlock. I don't know if that makes sense. Most things I do have a few things underlying them. Some things I do have no deeper meaning or reason.
I feel like I've sort of opened my soul for people to see in the last few posts. I have to go for a few hours now, but if you have more questions still I'm happy to answer them.

I feel especially helpless here because this is my second game, and in my first game I died day 1 and then Town lost, so it's my first time trying to solve at the end of the game. I just don't know.
