1. Just one other so far. I haven't played elsewhere but I'm familiar with the game.
2. Eastern standard time, but I work between 4pm and 2:30am so most of my posting will be a little before or after.
3. Hard to pick, but maybe seals.

I was thinking the same thing.
Also a question (for everyone) I'm stealing from the last game I was in:
If someone was one vote away from being lynched, and there were people who wanted to continue discussion but you were convinced they were scum, would you hammer them?
In post 44, catboi wrote:Why not vote paopao if his line seemed overly self aware to you?
Besides being a scum, there's is another possibility.
Why bring the self-awareness thing up to begin with if you don't think it is coming from scum? Town shouldn't really talk about this to begin with, so it's making me think that you might be thinking with a mafia-aligned mindset.

muh316, I agree with you on marcistar looking like she's rolefishing. I've been trying to figure out whether it's intentional or not. There was also the post she made where she was asking if the titles were the roles, which could easily make a newer player say something about their role. Nice catch with the contradiction.
In post 47, catboi wrote:Lol, haha, I get it, probably better not to right now, actually
It's not helping the town if you're hiding your thoughts.
I see catboi's post as damage prevention. Think about what Ninetails said and you'll see it goes along with your criticism of marci.
If I had to call a scumteam right now, I'd call it as marcistar and Ninetails. That's just a guess that's way too early though. I already thought marcistar looked scummy, but then Ninetails mentioning that his vote on marci was just an RVS vote made me think it could be distancing.
This is all very early speculation and I find it hard to believe that both scumplayers would try rolefishing.
I have a soft-town read on catboi, but that's just gut.

How do you go from one of these to the other here? This is just blatant opportunism, and I really don't like the reasoning. The idea that a newbie scum player is going to immediately attempt to rolefish is absurd, that's not a strategy most newer scum players are aware of, let alone one that most would attempt to do early. This is ascribing a buzzword wikitell to what is much more likely confused newbie town. Further, I don't really buy seeing a marci/ninetales team at all, newbscum rarely interact the way those two have. Most newbie scum tend to be very cautious about interacting with their partner, and there's none of that in how they speak to each other. I don't like this post at all.
VOTE: Chumbo
I read your first post quoted here as you being skeptical. "I want to believe" translated to me as you will be looking more closely at her in the future. I didn't think you meant you meant that you're just going to accept post 12 as definite newbtown. I apparently misunderstood you.
You do make a good point about new players probably not using rolefishing right away though. I still think that newer players might be hyper-aware of how much they talk to their partner though and that that could result in either not talking at all or overtalking.
What do you think of Ninetails?

I'm having a hard time coming up with anything worthwhile to say, so I'm just going to say what's on my mind.
I think pickles reads post was good and a decent thing to do to try to add some content.
I don't think that marcistar is scum now that I've seen more from her and the contradiction was cleared up.
I still don't like the vibes from ninetails, but I need to look more closely at her slot.
Not_Mafia typically does this in every game I've looked at from him so I think it's going to be hard to find whether he's scum or town. I think eventually he will start to do a bit more hopefully.

A scumteam of Ninetails and Pao makes no sense, the interaction earlier in the game doesn't seem like scum talking to each other at all.

Really? What about marci's AtE isn't cringe? A little is fine, but damn...
Seriously make a post with more than just a few words or a vote.
Not_Mafia needs to start taking posting seriously. I don't want to get through D1 completely unable to read him.
My main scumreads right now are catboi/marci. I've looked at ninetails again, but I really don't think she is scum. The post trying to prod us to do stuff and ask her questions really made me think she was town. catboi was a town read before, but now, after looking stuff over again I've noticed a few things about his posting. Most of the posting he does is either answering questions about how the game is played or dismantling other players reads. I think it is coming from a scum viewpoint. Marci because of the AtE, which after a certain point stops seeming town and also the high amount of fluff in the posting. I feel better about Scum!catboi.
In post 201, Chumbo wrote:Really? What about marci's AtE isn't cringe? A little is fine, but damn...
Why are you answering for him when he wouldn't answer himself? What
actual issues
do you have with her emotional appeals and
why is it scummy
? I can tell you town players use appeals to emotion all the time. It's not a scumtell, especially from someone who's know. AtE is a buzzword, you're not making any actual connection to how it makes her scum.
In post 201, Chumbo wrote:Most of the posting he does is either answering questions about how the game is played or dismantling other players reads. I think it is coming from a scum viewpoint.
So tell me: why is disagreeing with the reads of others scummy? Why can't I be town expressing legitimate disagreement? Why, as mafia, does it benefit me to simply disagree with every scumread someone else expresses? This is nonsensical.
I have issues with how much it's happening. Overall I don't think it's AI most of the time, but when every time she has someone scumread her, she does AtE instead of explaining/answering what the scumread is about, I get suspicious. Everything is a buzzword to you.
As for you, disagreeing with reads is fine but that's all you've been doing. I see it as potentially manipulating town into doubt. I see it benefiting you as a way to post that doesn't require much work, but could potentially make you look townie to people. I don't see much trying to figure out who's town. Also, I feel that your votes are lazy. You voted Ninetails because of her reasoning for thinking marci was scum, which I don't see how you saw as scum-aligned and wasn't a bad post IMO. You also voted donki saying you were suspicious of Paopao, but you never actually stated any suspicions on the slot before then.

Disagreeing is taking action, which could make you look town to people. How people receive anything varies.
With the ninetails vote, you just dismissed the post she made and said it wasn't good reasoning. I feel like her post was decent. It doesn't look like you actually have any reason to think she's scum other than disagreeing with your opinion. Do you think tunnelling is primarily scum-aligned?
I know you think marci is town, but I guess you did do some other townreading, sorry about that.

Last game me and Lone were in, me and Lone had this interaction:
Lone:I am really curious what BM is gonna post.I dont think its going to be what I think it will be.
Me: What do you think it will be?
Lone:They are town masons?
Me:Wow, that's not what I expected you to say at all. I guess we'll see.
This caused Lone to get townread by basically everyone for pretty much claiming VT. It's very similar to the post I'm referring to in this game. I'm thinking it's a possibility that he's trying the same thing here to get town-cred as scum.

A catboi flip could tell us whether you were defending marci as scum or whether Not_Mafia defended you because you are a scumteam (not sure) also possibly muh, Ninetails would be pretty much cleared if you're scum.

Hmm, didn't people in that game tell you not to openly speculate about masons? Why did you do that again?
They told me role fishing was bad for town. I was wrong that time and I think I was wrong this time too.This time I didn't tell anyone.
Just in case you don't already realize this, it also causes scum to know that you are VT, which increases their chances of night killing a PR.

OMG, I answered the question for marci, it's reversed, so let me tell you since you can't critically think. If you flip town, marci is much more likely to be town, Not_Mafia is goes to null, Lone and donki are more likely to be scum.
"just get rid of me if you have to" isn't ATE? I don't believe the question on
P1
was that much of a townslip to carry on to page 12. I've tried to look at your side in every way, but I don't see your slot as town at all.

If it was an unopposed PR claim, it would make him much more likely to be town. Claiming VT could make it go either way. We should lynch someone.

For me, I'm voting you because of how many times you changed your votes and doing the masons thing again. The main reason is that I'm not confident about catboi anymore and there's only 29 hours left to eliminate someone, his wagon wasn't going anywhere.

I'm really not sure though. Yesterday I started townreading catboi because he didn't want to hammer Lone, but now knowing that Lone was scum I don't know if I should read it that way anymore. I don't know if Lone would bus his partner up to E-1 and hold his vote there though.
@catboi: You know Not_Mafia, do you think he would make an agreement to bus his partner D1 for some reason?
