Why are you interested?

Given you already claimed and it's not an investigative role of some kind, I don't see much utility in keeping it quiet versus confirming your role.

Gluelock wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 1:14 am This is lacking that confidence exuding jargon from your first two statements. Why not "My role pm says I'm definitely town, and not human or scum."? Ironically, you should be the most confident about this; the other two are reliant on conjecture but you ought to know your assigned role. Normally, I wouldn't even think about something like this, but it's a pattern that is really standing out to me. Does anyone else think I'm just grasping at straws here or is there some unconscious linguistic tell at play here?

I think this is just some linguistic quirk, the third statement is a fact so there's little need to indicate confidence there, while the first two are inferences that are usually accompanied by language indicating how sure the speaker is about them.

Yes, this.

Also @Adum, heury can only be scum if bessie is scum. You think bessie is town, so I don't think it's reasonable to think heury is scum. I suppose there is the option where bessie has a strong reason to believe heury is town rather than him being confirmed, but regardless, it's odd that you're ignoring the bessie side of the equation.

I think you might be overreading what you think are Bessie BCs like you did mine, for the moment I just think she's wrong like I think she's wrong on you.

If she claims Masons or some other reason to know for sure then we'll address it then. We also should get an updated woof/Grrr list from them because I don't know where her head is at toDay, she's only made one serious post.

");

Partial reads list, other players are the ones I think I can get a better look post-by-post:

LaserGuy: Much to EGW's annoyance, I am keeping him at towncore. If POE demands a review of that, I'll run through him then

bessie: In spite of the hangover from Seven's anti-bessie screed that they've since backed off of, I'm still townie reading her. Her reaction D1 felt like righteous anger, and if she is town and feels I owe her a big bag of kibble after the game, I will gladly pay up.

Gluelock: Mechanics of the flavor seen at dawn plus BF's declaration would lean to clearing him

Seven: Despite the annoying playstyle, the face conf town BF went to bat in leading a counter wagon to save them is in Seven's favor (multiball complicates this, but I am not convinced we are in that setup)

EGW: Gadfly style is what I see all the time from him, so NAI. Fervently anti-Seven D1 (CV says distancing), vote on me D2 because I was wobbly in my bessie read not unreasonable. Neutral

You know, we might actually be dealing with a full scum team here.

Mak-Laser-Trisscar.

Mak is scum. I think y'all are forcing the town read on him hard. The way he treated Zeniba is omega suss and it was clear that he was trying real hard at the end of the day to get someone to give him a reason to vote me, but no one could give him anything so he just sat out.

Laser has had terrible reasons for concluding Mak and Trisscar to be town. Mak because "he misread the town flavor as indy" and Trisscar because "Fred replaced out". The first is a super stretch and while I initially thought that Adum and Laser were talking past each other in their back and forth on it, I think I actually just put words in Laser's mouth that he was able to use as a get out of jail free card. The reasoning is actually a gigantic stretch and he probably didn't actually mean that he understood Frozen's post as a joke.

With regard to the Trisscar reasoning, I mentioned yesterday that I disagreed and that Fred was likely to sub out as a wolf. Fred had a hard time wolfing in millirizer mafia. Didn't enjoy it as much as town so he had a good chance of being a RWSTFO. I don't think anyone who read Millerizer should have thought his sub out increased his odds of being town. This is a negative point for heury too.

Yeah so Laser is super weird. Heury is weird for sheeping this read.

On Mak, I feel if Fonti was here, she would see it too. It's the same as scum Frozen in this game.

Cop may just be just that and nothing more. Ive seen mafia cops that are just redherrings that punish town for thinking they can clear people from claims. Anti-mass claim mechanic, that is.

The fact that we have a doctor and a body guard though does indicate that we have some extra kill power in the works. I’m thinking possible SK (George) aiming for Blue, while maf gunned for the big bad boom.

Appreciate the game reference, I'll read it when I get a chance.

Gonna be real, while it's a possible underlying motivation, I don't think anything supports it.

They seemed inclined to dismiss the case against you if anything, but doing their due diligence. I read the exchange as wanting to kill zeniba for inactivity, but wanting make sure there wasn't a really strong case against you first.

I disagree on the setup speculation adamantly though, we're informed that dissenters exist.

No reason the dissenters and human have to be separate.

Technically it's possible that it's a misdirection and the "dissenters" are all actually humans or the like, but I really don't see it at this juncture. The setup seems designed around multiple mafia with the misdirection being the assumption that the dissenters are the only enemy group

It was just a thought experiment, essentially.

Can you explain your meaning? Do you mean you never thought I was scum and your content thus far was a thought experiment? Or do you mean that after much thought, you no longer believe I am scum?

Sorry that’s a typo. Zeniba flipped scum, not mafia. I know that I am always careful to distinguish when I mean mafia or indie, or I sometimes use scum interchangeably with non-town to refer to any non-town alignment. But not everyone else does. I’m saying my reading of the flip was that Zeniba was non-town.

Interesting how you didn’t catch my typo, and also how you mistakenly believed Zeniba flipped mafia. It’s as if you didn’t even read the flip. I wonder why you wouldn’t hmmmm...

This is for somitomi only. Describe in your own words my link with heury. Since it is so obvious to you, it should be easy for you to make a case.

Firstly, it's "humans", not "human". I'm reading "humans" as a Mafia faction name.

Memory issues can happen to anyone, but it seems odd for laser to not double check a scumlean's description of a flip.
