The Wander Island Incident - Night Four - Five For One [13/21]

Not The Author - I just don't get the impression that they're trying to find mafia. I gave them a lot of credit for voting for me and actually giving reasoning as to why since if nothing else it was opening up a new avenue of discussion (even if no one else bothered to talk more about it), but they only did so when called out by Acio for having ignored my posts to begin with, and, after reading through their posts in particular they have literally zero other analysis. The list they put together when directly asked for one by Pala didn't seem to have any rationale behind it. Like, at all. I don't see how they could have a town read on granola, and I definitely don't understand what 'not third party' is even supposed to mean.

Mostly this whole experience has reminded me why I started only joining gimmick mafias: I just don't know what to look for when it comes to scumhunting. That D2 read list was based more on vibes than actual analysis, because I never actually got around to the actual analysis I'd hoped to do. Like, "Not Third Party" is essentially "people who are invested in making lynches happen, but who I can't pin as either Mafia or Town specifically." And even then, "Mafia" and "Town" read more as "Mafia?" and "Town???" because they're based as much on tone and activity as anything else, which is not a way of assessing things that I can get behind! Even though it's the only way I can asses things most of the time!

Is this me defending myself? Nope! My play's been garbage and people are right to suspect me for it! Is any of this helpful? Maybe! It'll probably give some of you a better read on my alignment somehow, someway that I'll never be able to understand! Is this too self-aware? I still don't know what the hell that means!!

You wanna know what I think? Here's what I think:

• Jacquerel's tendency to tutor feels off. Not inherently scummy, but conceivably a way to help newer mafia (Mafia) players know what (not) to do in real time, assuming the absence of a daychat option,
  

• I don't know how people keep concluding that Slorange is town, but I also still need to go back and cross-reference stuff, and won't be satisfied until I come to my own conclusions, and
  
• Schazer seems so heavily 3rd party that they wrap all the way around the spectrum and then back out of third party into scum, so they can't possibly be scum, which is what they want me to think, Vote: Schazer.
  

Tha's pretty much all I got. I'll try to go through and like. Get an actual post through at some point? with like, concrete... things? and maybe a vote based on, Iunno, behavioral analysis or something. You know, more empty promises. Don't hold your breath.


"Too self aware," fuck off.
