MP and Epi are town.

See, this is what I meant when asking where you were coming from. :P Seemed like an IRL mafia-er to me. That's where I started, and yeah, online stuff is a lot different. You can't read someone's face, or see if they killed a buddy/someone they didn't like. But a lot of it comes down to this:

Motive.

That's what makes this such an analytical game. We look at DDL's posts and see that the way he acted toward sanmateo might come from a mafia motive. Being able to read that stuff comes with experience.
Me? I've got like 7 years of experience, and I still play like crap when I get vanilla town. No worries mate. It's a different ballgame, but whatever thoughts you have are welcome.

I don't necessarily agree with your post about Sloonei, but it's a valid observation. Scum could have motive to interrogate/interact with the new guy. It's easy, puts the player in good graces with the new guy and the other townfolk, and it looks like helpful townie behavior while not really incriminating anyone.

In this case I don't think sloon needs the boost from new person chat, because he's got a lot of other reads going on. So I personally think Sloon is probably town. But it's a valid observation.

Any observations that are articulated like what you have with sloonei there would be helpful. Don't feel like you have to volume your posts like some of us do. Sit back, grab a coke/beer, and let us know what you think!

Either you'll get addicted to the game like us or you'll decide you can't stand it and move on. Either way, we welcome you for the ride while you're here.

How many scum do you think are left, Sloon?

If I were balancing this game, I would either have 4 scum or 3 and a third party.

But I'm not used to mostly-vanilla games. I would have also included a bunch more power roles, invalidating the heist. So what do I know, right?

I don't think it inconceivable that there might be a 3P or 4th scum, is my point. If there are 3 scum, one of them probably has a pretty darn good power role. I haven't been paying close attention to the daystart/dayend posts, so IDK if there are any hints about 3P.

Just some thoughts. Maybe it's interesting that you just assumed 3 scum. Probably normal.

Like who?

birdwithteeth, who is his second target, so I suppose we can look into that further. Or Dom, or NT, or nutella. Maybe Daisy as well.

Nutella was basically cleared by Epi, so she's too hard (I know she's not clear). NT is too weak a target to be taken seriously, and Dom would be the easy approach since he hasn't done much.
Basically, Nutella is too hot, Dom and Dom/NT are too cold, but Sloonei is juuuuust right. Hypothetically. I mean, you have had people suspect you over the course of the game. That plus WIFOM makes you an okay target.

Just playing devil's advocate, of course. It'd be a risky move by Serge.

YAY

I'm voting C

I read through DDL's posts. I recommend doing the same. I'm gonna throw down a chart here.
Xs are suspicions
Vs are votes.
Os are defenses/townreads
Qs are questions
S is a shrug
The number with them tells what phase they were on. 0 is night 0. 1 is D1. 2 is N1. And so on. A little confusing, but necessary. CHART TIME!


MovingPictures07 - X1-X1-X1-X1-V1-X2
nutella - X1-X1-X1-V2-X2
Spacedaisy - X1
Sloonei - O1-O1-O1-X1
speedchuck -

birdwithteeth11 -
Dom -

LC - X0-X0-X1-X1
Dr Wilgy - O1-
sanmateo - S2
Epi - S1-O2

A lot of these townreads, or heck, even scumreads, are weak and DDL backs off as he says them. I considered using lowercase to indicate weakness, but the chart is already hard enough to read.

NT was mentioned in relation to MP's vote for NT. DDL didn't like it. Granted, I wasn't a huge fan either.
Those with no mentions were technically a part of DDL's posts when he said stuff like "Everyone else is null" but I didn't include that.

I would appreciate everyone looking at DDL's sloon mentions, and sloon's treatement of DDL, and see if it looks more like DDL buddying and sloonei hunting or DDL defending and then distancing.

GTH readlist for you spacedaisy. I actually feel better about you and Sloonei than this readlist showed, but I'm more paranoid about you guys. I'm going to try to substantiate these reads before Day 4 end. Assuming scum does the smart thing and kills MP tonight instead of me.

If you wanted color

Yah, MP for MVP.

GG guys! Glad I helped. Or, at least felt like I did. :P Nutella fooled me too

. . . really? Who was the other one?
