Quote:what do you think of Airey One thing I want to point out in #544 is Airey's justification for voting Solaris - it's based on people who are claiming death-activated roles and thinking Solaris is third party. I don't agree that Solaris's actions are indicative of 3P and I would not take a sarcastic (?) Solaris post at face value as proof of anything. Other than that it's theorycrafting about AC, a comment on Beru's recent replacement, and commentary on the number of on-death roleclaims. I'm not fond of calling Solaris their top priority based on that without saying much of anything about why the other options are less preferred. And something that just now stands out to me: Airey mentions BlazerC looks like scum but wants to prioritize their 3P read on Solaris - why? Vote: Airey Quote:and are Solaris and AC still your top scumreads? aC yes. Their detached play still has me suspecting it's a way to put pressure on ice. Solaris a little less so. The people who followed my vote onto them do not look good and I can't continue to hold out on thinking Solaris/aC are coaligned since at this point scum!Solaris would be dedicated to throwing their teammate under the bus. (Solaris' overall tone (their posting voice, persay) does not strike me as totally scummy, but it's definitely not a town tone to me. Based purely on reactions to things, I would say some replies are solidly not town.) -- Note: I have no desire to superanalyze what transpired between Acio/Seedy. The bulk of that exchange, as a semantics/meta argument, has no interest to me. I agree with Acio's stance on role logistics, and I did not think that most of the purported death-role "claims" were legitimate to begin with (BlazerC I do think is legitimate, aC never explicitly made the claim and instead goes for the anticlaim, Solaris was def. joking, Schazer has been joking about it since D1 and they're playing an evasive game regardless).

Leaving your vote on Blazer and saying that you don't care if you die doesn't read like an exasperated townie to me, if feels like scum trying to placate. Given that basically every player’s made some sort of comment on me and that I’ve been so entrenched in the discussion it would be helpful to town which way I flip, no? Do you not agree, considering your vote’s on me? Ah, I should probably take that vote off huh Instead I’ll switch it to numbers vote: numbers, which is the answer to your last question. And then, in order of (roughly) descending scumminess - Airey, Granola I somehow wonder if that last question of yours is supposed to be like “okay you claimed to have no on death role but if you totally DID have one who would you bring with you”

Numbers: Still looks about as bad as yesterday honestly. Voted for both Sai and NTA D1 in non-bussy looking votes, probably not aligned with either.
Pilot: Actually looks better than I was expecting reading all his posts in a row rather than just in individual worddumps. Easily has the least opportunistic/scummy votes on the Solaris wagon. I'd call him likely town for now.

Okay Final questions: Do you still have a scumread on Seedy? Do you think Airey or Solaris is more likely scum? Most likely scum on the D1 LQ wagon?

If I were staying in I'd drop it and go for NTA/Schazer or to answer the second question Airey. I can't say I've made an active effort to read solaris but Airey's vote thing recently and the mix of advocating for a day one lynch and not really doing anything is something.

Okay, I can mostly see where you're coming from with Numbers, and if they're town I like Airey even less than I did before.
I'm starting to feel like either the majority of the scumteam was lurking/sitting on oneoffs D1, or else I need to recalibrate some of my townreads soon. Thanks for staying on awhile longer to give your thoughts Acio. o7

The second is because my read on them has been so aggressively null this game, which is far enough from how I have to remember their Town play beings that I wanted my suspicion concretely noted early in the thread.

Well, I'm really disappointed that Acio actually got frustrated into quitting. Not just because they were a big driver for actual stuff to be happening, but also because this is my first serious mafia game in like 7? 8? years, and I've actually enjoyed it so far, from what little I've put into it.
So anyways, first of all I'm going to Unvote. I don't think that Blazer is scum for effectively volunteering to die for a lynch on AC. When they were like "Yeah, sure, lynch me" when they got a handful of votes on them, I was like "THIS IS OVERACTING" and was full in on their being scum, but their wanting to actually use their gun makes that actually make sense. I still dislike their reasoning for town-ing me, but that's much less of a push than the death thing. Now that that's done, I'ma go make another quote wall. - These are all AC quotes and I don't know how to feel about them. I really disagree with Palamedes saying that it's plausibly a kill immunity thing, since AC explicitly stated they didn't expect Blazer to be lynched wrt their claim. so tl;dr I think their apathy to being lynched is them giving up rather than anything else, which is a null read as far as I'm concerned, and their play had already just been kinda bad enough to make me not want them alive. That's also why I kinda disagree with Schazer and Acio on saying it makes them townie. Apathy from exhaustion isn't a towntell. I'm fine with lynching them, but since they're already past the threshold for that and I'm not interested in ending the day early, I won't put a vote on them. -- Schaz stuff: Laser jumping in with noncontent, and then responses - Laser's post is extremely bad, but Jacq already pointed that out. I also don't like Seedy essentially going "hey good job kid," because that's giving Laser a huge benefit of the doubt that I'm not sure they deserve. They at least asked them to contribute more which is a hey-that's-nice thing, but if Laser's town I feel a lot less good about Seedy. I also just really disagree with Seedy regarding claims, because I just don't think that role stuff is even all that important to hide and the manner in which they share the information can be pretty good for reading. I'm not gonna say we should all mass-claim just yet, but I don't think that roles are nearly as important to hide in a game where everyone's got one, especially if you think your role has any useful evidence to whatever the argument is at hand. -- Airey's post here is also really bad, actually. I somehow missed this in my first read through the thread, but now that I'm making a quote wall, it's quite possibly the Worst post today. They're just clearly not paying attention, and they're not even internally consistent about who they suspect. Reading Blazer as scum for literally wanting to use a hunter power is wrong and bad. JW had been roleplaying their role which Slorange said visited him, and while we don't know what that actually means, it's something that isn't worth ignoring if you want to actually bring JW's affiliation up. Doubling down on wanting to lynch Sol while saying that they think Blazer is mafia makes this even worse, ESPECIALLY when the vote count showed Blazer having votes already. Vote: Airey I'm not done yet, but I doubt that I'll stop wanting to lynch Airey from what I remember of the rest of the thread. -- Slorange - --

I didn’t get to do a better post last night because I decided to play Monster Hunter instead but I could kill Airey right now I think.
I still think I’m ok with aC dying though. In fact Vote: aC again, I’m not sure I actually ever needed to unvote to start with and if two people come out of nowhere to push this through without a good reason then they will die tomorrow so that’s only a benefit for us. I still don’t really have a town read on Sol but I’ve disliked so many of the posts trying to vote for her, I guess that could be scum distancing but it wouldn’t be good scum distancing. I’m maybe gonna vote for Laser if they yet live tomorrow but there isn’t any point right now. Day ends about 24 hours from now, so if people really believe aC is town (and the only evidence i’ve had to change my mind so far is their apathy to dying, which is true but I also don’t see a better way out for them, given their refusal to commit to anything riskier, than to play dead) then now is the time to make a good case. Also gives me more time to look at Airey and Laser before night happens again. Seems like it’s about time I had more of an opinion about Schazer and Slorange too.

A) I need to do another reread first B) I still don’t think aC has been playing town very convincingly |
