I don't have a ton of experience with Titus, but from what I have seen, I feel like she would have had some semblance of a plan.

I would go as far as to say that there is already evidence this game that Titus was trying to coordinate plans in the scum chat, when you look at Day 0 and see Moon Cancer, Day 0, jumping on to the Saber 4 Master campaign when Titus thought she could win the master. Then Moon doing a full 180, and calling Saber scum once Titus realized she had lost the master (and that she would probably need to bus if she wanted to regain a footing in the game)

---------------

So yeah, foreigner being scum makes more sense to me.

I would no longer say that scum!Avenger is impossible, but would need to see more evidence for it -- such as foreigner flipping town in order to give me any evidence that a counter wagon was being made by the scum team
[/spoiler]
It's difficult to tell, because I don't understand what you're saying in that post. It looks like you're playing Secret Hitler or something, not mafia. Do you have a different example that wouldn't require me reading a game for 10 to 20 minutes?

No, it's more the fact that you didn't make any sense in 1364. I'm confident you're holding the L on that one.

I'm open to believing that (remember, I unvoted you and voted for Bella), but what you quoted doesn't do a good job on convincing me because I just don't understand and don't see the similarities. You're talking about the scum team possibly teaming up to go for something called Blade Master or something, which I don't know what the fuck it is and may be super important, and comparing it to this overextrapolated case based on the idea of a massclaim which was ultimately irrelevant in the grand scheme of the game. Even if I were to buy that the complexity of the catboi case were typical of your towngame, it doesn't really reassure me on how worryingly different the depth of your reads are here, to the point where it feels like you're underanalyzing and not super trying to empathize with all of the possible angles from everyone else and going the extra mile for catboi for reasons I don't get. I don't even think you have considered the idea that I may be town here during our entire conversation in the last few hours.

Like, what are your thoughts on Bella? The reasons you have stated today for townreading her have been pretty light, to my understanding, it you don't seem worried about it at all, even though when I flip town here you have catboi staring you down who is pretty set on eliminating you. ELO doesn't look good, it looks like you'd have no agency. What's your contingency if Bella is scum? Why aren't you asking her any questions or trying to sus her out? Are you just 100% confident that it's me?

Also, if you townread catboi, who I've played with for many, many years and has cultivated a townread on me, why haven't you asked him questions about why he townreads me to try and sponge him and increase your accuracy here?

In the last few hours, I probably haven't.

From the way you jumped on my wagon following catboi, the arguements you have made, the 180 to voting bella, to a 180 back to casing me has all screamed scum to me and that is all that I have been seeing.
That bothers me, because I have been trying to explain my thought process all day, and it doesn't look like you're interested in the other aisle. I have talked and collaborated with you and admitted when I am wrong (not as first, because I was bullheaded, but I came around) and have been open to communicating and you have completely shut me out. News flash here, if we're both town and you manage to convince jpeg to elim me today, it's highly probable we're going to lose this game. You are so consumed by this singular thought that you have this solved, it's scary. That's probably the biggest thing that is making me /want/ to vote for you now. I don't feel like you have enough consideration for the endgame of a really hard match. I don't think I have been so scummy today as to have been outed to that degree.
In post 1379, Lukewarm wrote:Because he unvoted me, and voiced suspicion on you - so it seemed like he was unsure of his own read there, and so I was not expecting a lot of insight from him on the topic
That makes sense when we're reading around the first half of the day, so it isn't unbelievable. But now, 1236:
In post 1326, catboi wrote:VOTE: lukewarm

If syugar's scum after that last page, I'm snowed.

fwiw my posting today has less to do with indecision/paralysis and more an inability to focus at all to form coherent thoughts (too easily distractible). I had points I wanted to make against luke, was slightly weirded out by syugar's posting at the start of the phase (because the thought of deflated scum had entered my head) and so backed off, wanted to take time to consider things being said before making a move.
Looks pretty emphatic. I am not sure why it didn't make you curious.

And yeah, this is a good time to sleep on everything. See you tomorrow.

Idk how I feel about 'I know I will convince Catboi I am town because of how much we have played with each other.' and then when Catboi arrives they give a response that isnt even specific to you
He said he was snowed if I were scum so I also expected more than that so I agree with u there

As we currently stand I lean towards voting Luke until I see his posts about his reevaluation (I get the impression he was stalling yesterday as he didn't know what to do), but I am reasonably confident we can win in all 4 worlds from eliminating either Bella or Luke despite whatever configuration of those two is scum so my preference for total accuracy today isn't as important as us being on the same page with our votes (and after this entire game I doubt the accuracy of my sr regardless)

Gun to my head though Bella's purer with the current content I've seen today (I had a pervasive sense of dread about Luke pushing narratives while talking to me and him stalling on his "tunnel check" doesn't sit right with me) and I honestly have come back around to thinking she townslipped earlier in her first response to me putting Luke at E-1.

Don't think catboi is scumming this game.

TL;DR pretty much fine moving with your instinct even though it isn't my first choice.

@catboi I didn't want to explicitly state and link my accounts publicly and let this be known but I have a pretty polarized town/scum meta when it comes to approaching these situations. My scum game is pretty one-dimensional and focuses on forging pretty ABC and confident progressions that always lead me towards having logical and built-up reasons for every push I make and never running out of these pushes. It hasn't really been a consideration for me in the paat two years to completely chuck outward-appearing progression in favor of acting puzzled, impartial, and unsure, which is a flaw in my game.

You can doublecheck the two long games on the schizo account:

https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/34222 Vig10, unfortunately I got banned and force replaced before the game ended bur I more or less always had a narrative and solid PoE I was pushing and had plans to do that into the endgame

https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/29956 MCM, soent the entire game building a worldview around one read that I never bothered to reconsider a single time despite many other people using meta and towncases to try and get me off of it.

I generally think I'm too bad at the game to present the fluidity I did today, would be way too self-conscious

Another thing you'll notice in these games is that I spend a large portion if the game distancing or bussing. In MCM I spam quoted and interacted with Alexa for the entire game and bussed transcend d1. In Vig10 I repeatedly conversed with Andrew and eventually bussed him extremely early. The way I interacted with GM this game was largely ignoring her because she seemed like she couldn't be scum just associatively based on team reads in relation to my preferred votes (worst, jpeg) which is why I just didnt interact with and ignored her. It is way more often I choose to ignore people I just think have to be town than I choose to ignore my partners (practically unheard of due to self-conscious) so GM and I mostly ignoring eachother would actually meta spew me as town here

Can we PoE and win this yet?

@Cat.Jpeg if I were to die at night assume catboi is town and it was some sort of desperation play. Sorry if I am wrong on that read and threw the match, but I have deja vu like I've seen this all before. It isn't to underestimate his scum game but there's subtle stuff being done that doesn't look planned. I'll learn something if he's the scum.

I mean, it wasn't a "coincidence"

I spent most of the other day 100,000% sure that you were scum, and was felt like I was going to battle to win the game. Righteous War and all that.

And then, suddenly the way that you engaged with me, deflated that energy. I because less sure, and concerned that I was tunneled.

And I was literally waiting for people to weigh in on our discussion to help me figure out if that was the case, and I never really got that.
Uh, yeah I dunno, you have catboi townreading me and Cat.Jpeg suspecting Bella over anyone else, and Bella saying that my interactions with you looked better than yours with me so I feel like you've already got your answer

if you are town, this is going to be a lesson in the hazards of trying to find the exact team all at once rather than simply voting whoever's scummiest.
Of course, if I'm wrong on cat.jpeg and they get voted out today, that's on me but I don't mind being jailed in that scenario.
The issue, is that catboi is not championing this elim.

On the contrary, he has already said that he wants goodmorning in , and stated town pings in .

Stating that he would look bad on a jpeg elim here, feels counter-intuitive to the thought process of a townie who prefers a GM elim. However, it would be a legitimate concern to a gm scum partner who is hoping for a jpeg elim.
I don't really understand this point very well, I get the others

The main thing that made me worried was their positioning around the elim today.

Like, they walked into the day saying that catboi was scummy, and then they seemed to slide into the idea that it can never be catboi too easily I guess? Its hard to see why that switch happened, but if she were scum it could actually be just because you and I both put a stake in the ground that we were both never considering scum!catboi this day phase - so arguing for a catboi elim would have been a fight not worth fighting
Yeah I felt this same level of ambivalence but aside from that I also couldn't really find many material concerns but her attitude today and I believe that she legitimately townslipped and thought she could have ended the game

Uh

My bad, didn't even spot check that she wasn't just making vague statements, it completely slipped my mind

@Bellaphant what specifically did you dislike from Luke's arguments two days ago/Liked from mine?

I have a fair response to that but it's better if she answers that for herself, I'm going to stop posting and make some air because I more or less understand your points

I may have to delay my vote until the last 6 hours of the day

Oh yeah, fwiw though fmpov I didn't find your case on catboi convincing and I still think the interactions you initially townread him for look really good

I saw it more as guilt over him defending Cat.Jpeg in the world where she were scum, which is the opposite of your interpretation, I don't think you've got it right

And that makes sense because he'd be a fine partner candidate for her

I just looked back at it, and the timing of it again. And I think that you are right, and I read it wrong there.
This isn't the first time I've had issues with your extratextual reads seeming posthoc (analysis serves the conclusion) but it may just be a playstyle think idk at this point

I didn't dismiss everything you said, but fmpov your case in catboi really wasn't that great and I already have a very strong townread on him.

I'm still thinking about it but I think it misrepresents or misunderstands certain game states and intentions I can't brain to vocalize atm

I thought your points about Bella made sense and I'm waiting for her to post a bit

I don't really understand how you find everyone scummy either, that feels disconnected from the experience of everyone else in the game three of them being town at a minimum

"I am not seeing a single post that would preclude catboi from voting jpeg at some point that phase"

I'm also not sure how you think this, at the top of my head 1113 was pretty emphatic - "stop overanalyzing teams and vote for the easy slam dunk"

You're asking me to believe that catboi was elliptically willing jpeg to be eliminated and I simply don't see it, so the case feels externally motivated or like pushing a square peg through a circular hole

I kinda wanna believe the AtE though, I really do

Just that a lot of things you're posting don't seem in the best faith for solving, and the easiest way to explain a towny making extrapolated and bizarre cases like this is just that everyone else is either town or played so fantastically well that there aren't many valid holes in their game to attack

I at least thought around a quarter to a half of the things you said about me were valid even if I didn't like the rest, but this new case feels keboshed

Okay, well what I think that is if you're town here you should just vote Bella because neither of us have the best odds to beat her in ELO. There isn't really a chance we elim catboi and you'd be throwing the game by giving Bella the f3 hammer if you eliminated me. Catboi's never not voting you here. After all of the arguments that've been dispensed that's the best olive branch I can offer you.

I've got an 85% instinct that you're scum but if you're town, jpeg foses Bella so you've got a moonshot to get out of this. Catboi isn't acum.

In post 1490, Lukewarm wrote:I was originally thinking that it was weird how much he has been commenting on his inability to come up with a solution. It felt way more then I have seen in any game. And, then I wondered if it actually came from trying to lean into that Bigger Presence / Smaller Prescence conversation that we had.
The empathetic answer to this concern is that this is literally one of the hardest town games I've played in the last two years. It was out of my comprehension that this gamestate would even exist, and if you really distrust that a towny wouldn't know what to do here I'm not sure how that can be shaken. Freezing close to elo also isn't even uncommon for him, certainly not out of townrange by a long shot. He has confidence and choking issues.
And then, I started reading through his iso in the lens of "what is he doing if scum partnered with GM" and it felt like all those pieces were slotting into place.
I think this is the issue with how you're isoing him. If you're explicitly looking for stuff in that context it's no surprise that you'd pull up spurious theories, so I can somewhat empathize with your conclusion, and that's why I'm only like 85%. I actually am closer to buying the self-meta stuff and all that but if it's really the case that you're town here you should just vote Bella
Then I was thinking about the case that he made against me, and that it was weird that he spent so much time talking about doing isos and rereading, but then his final solution was me, and part of the ammo that he used against me was that I "latched onto" your solve of jpeg+GM, when that simply wasn't true since I had that as a solve before you did. And I questioned if he was really looking at me that closely if he did not catch that.
Realize that he may have been doing exactly what you did in the previous quote; "Hm, let me read with the assumption that Luke is partnered with GM. What makes sense in that context?"

Surely you can believe that if he had a read you found flawed he could have used a similar toxic thought process to the one which caused you to arrive at this weird case as well.

Do you see that from my pov, this could be scum you setting yourself up for the win?

I vote Bella, elo is you+me+catboi, and thats that.
That's obvious. It's intentionally manipulative and self-interested, but I'm not going to suggest plays that take into account me being scum, I have mechanical knowledge that I'm not. I've tried to prove that I'm town down to outing my identity on another site and posting self-meta though, I think it's about time you should just be convinced and latch onto my strategy.

It was not limited to this day phase. This that I noticed on day 3 was part of that thought

You seem to be really down on your solving abilities this game - and I am not quite sure how to interact with it.

I for one have a high opinion of your reads, and am interested in seeing them - I mean our first ever game together you managed to single handedly turn the game direction around to killing the last scum, despite the entire rest of the thread thinking they were confirmed town.

T02 also seemed interested in getting your reads this day phase.
Don't really know if that's proper, there are a lot of things he could've meant by that, but I still don't find it unusual

It probably should, I'm voting to eliminate someone who I feel is more likely to be town for strategical reasons. It isn't really intuitive.

Does it even matter?

We lose to scum catboi at this point.

Yeah, we do, don't we? Sorry if you're right, I guess I am being a little selfish. If I'm torpedoing the game it's more of a sign I should quit

Don't bother. I am not even trying to convince you of it any more.

Its just frutrating feeling like what I am saying is just not understood.
I'm sorry that I made you feel that way, but in my good conscience I've legitimately been nodding along to what you've been saying and disagreeing with it. I asked for elaboration on one point I really didn't understand and it ended up you misunderstanding catboi's post, so I think from any indication I've given you a fair shot. At the same time, though, I guess I didn't because I don't think Jesus Mary and Joseph could convince me he's the scum here

Yes. my full expectation for elo was that I was going to end up in a cross with either you or catboi, and then with Bella deciding.
Yeah

I didn't like my odds at all if it were crossed between me and you, nor did I like the odds if it was crossed between you or catboi

Saw it as kind if unlikely catjpeg voted you today so I think you had the right idea

In another game you may have convinced me if I wasn't so sure on my TR

Yes, nice to play with you again, it's really fun.

I haven't really enjoyed this game as much since 2012, just been trying to chase that feeling, but it's not the same
