I don't think I'm being particularly nice, but I don't know where you think newbies would even realize they were being pressured. If I were to regress back into my first few games, this type of behavior more than not scared me, and less willing to give reads. Why are you not in consideration of this aspect?
I feel like the moments where one is unsure how they're supposed to react you get the truest reactions, no?

I guess my point is that's better than the alternative. I've had too many games that activity dies because we get stuck in RVS/RQS because people are too afraid to take any stances so everyone defaults to politeness and activity dies and we lose.

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 treat newbies like I treat every other game. I keep in mind that some people might act different due to not being used to the site meta, but playing the "kind, helpful SE" is unbeneficial unless I'm scum. Unless there's some sort of early fight that becomes the center of attention, but that didn't happen here.

In post 132, unwnd wrote:BBMolla, was Lunar's (lack) of reaction a reaction to you? He seemed to completely ignore your pressure here.
Yes
Personally, I remain skeptical. Especially because Lunar questioned you on your vote in #87. It seemed like you realized some intelligent life in our little alien and didn't wanna be caught on a bad wagon.
Furthermore, I think that it contradicts your own claimed behavior in your response to me initially (#105). You have had two instances to interact with players and you have instead chosen to disengage:

If your claims in #105 were actually true, then you wouldn't be attempting the same thing not once, but twice. I think maybe even three if we count safebet. I don't believe you attempted to discern either of their alignments through interaction and instead are just placing votes and making strong remarks under a guise of scumhunting.
I said in 105 I wanted to hunt in the null reads
so I hunted in the null reads by pressuring them
and because I did that more than once it's scummy

Still trying to determine if unwnd believes what they're saying or if it's calculated, that's going to determine whether they're town or scum
Looking forward to Lunar's reaction to further pressure
I feel good about Mikul, Quiet, Illwei
Safebet/Peta is where my vote will be if Turtle seems town

We're just about 10 pages in, I'm not going to keep letting this slot slide. Time to post hombre. I don't even need you to read the game start posting, read this page and give your thoughts.

turtle was the secret scum read i mentioned a while ago but it was sort of predicated on the premise he was going to flake, and he didn't, but certainly could still be scum

If they're scum then executing them in LYLO is not a concern
if Turtle is scum it's more about the fact that their unengagement will always allow them to get away with not playing the game thus not allowing us to catch them

Do you want to be in LYLO with Turtle?
I guess there's the off chance he could be a PR and that's like the only scenario where we shouldn't execute him here
i agree with the fundamental idea that mr turtle should be elim'd before ELo unless he starts contributing or claims a power role that isn't counter claimed. don't know if i want to do it day 1 when i can learn more voting elsewhere but depends a lot on how he answers my questions
we have 8 days so I'm fine waiting
If they start playing and start townpinging I'm all for not executing

Again I know why you are saying this. Because of what it forces. But if he's lying , I'm telling you we are going to end up on a weird 1v1 or him totally walking back what he is saying. One that he will get a pass on from most people.
I’ll hard claim tomorrow, if I 1v1 someone then we’re guaranteed to get one scum
Which considering 1/7 town is ~15% of the town and 1/2 scum is 50% of the scum it’s a good trade

Spoiler: if this is for me, off topic sidenote
if this is for me, I identify as a man, but for pronoun my preference is a singular he or she, I just don't really care which. Pre-Covid, I did a lot of theatre, and theatre is getting very much into using pronoun identifiers upon introduction so I've been thinking a lot about my pronouns and I feel bothered saying "Hi, I'm BBmolla, I prefer he/him/his" because it's technically not true. I don't think I have a preference, but I've also never had anyone refer to me as anything as he, so I could be wrong. I know I dislike being referred to as they, but I guess I was a bit curious if I would not like to be called "she" and wanted to see if there was a way to experiment with that.
Anyway, maybe this is all very belittling to those who truly are affected by incorrect pronoun usage, so I've removed it for now.
Long story short, if you want to match what I identify as, go ahead and use he.

Mafiascum has a much more dayplay focused game, the power roles are there but the focus is not on them. We have a lot of games that don't even have power roles because there's very much a belief that scum can be found just by dayplay, and this has rang true throughout games on this site.
Even if day one the scum may have an easier time blending in, this facade becomes more and more difficult to keep up as the game goes further, because they have to keep their story of beliefs straight.
But keeping it all consistent is why your lack of posting bothers us so much Turtle, it gives no info on you any which way.
if you're having a hard time with reads, answer these for me:
If the mod came out and confirmed Lunar Martian as scum, based on the interaction Lunar had with people today, who would be your first guess as to who their partner is?
Is there anyone you find unlikely to be their partner?
If there were mafia on your wagon (AKA, the people voting you), who is your best guess as to who it would be?
