The sun is starting to set and my imaginary feet are tired, so it’s time to do some ruminating on Jess. She’s been on my mind. Revisiting her feels like a trip through the commercial district. Light touch, fleeting, and window shopping. What I mean is- I don’t know how she usually solves in games, but I’d best describe her solving *this* game as booping players and townreading them in order to find the least towny among them, which is a unique playstyle. This means that I don’t really know who she SUSPECTS. I do hear her calling almost everyone town though. Almost.
Let’s look at all the mentions she had of the confirmed mafia (Nicole/Trekkie/LC) in Day 1:

No

as of page 3 i think that trekkie is the only person that i find actively wolfy and it's bcuz it comes off like he is trying to fade into the background
+scum for Trekkie

Vivax probably town
I agree Nicole might be mafia
kind of a wolf shaped post
+Defense of Nicole by characterizing gims as having bad read

could u talk to me about nicole, nut? what do u find wolfy about her
jess wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2026 1:29 pm
hmm ok, i did find her towny in the first few pages but it was mostly tonal so idk
+soft defense of Nicole
That was Day 1.
She spends the end of that day making a list of players she finds towny, but only really meddles and votes for non-confirmed mafia. Only ever defends Nicole. Never revisits Trekkie as a serious suspicion. Not a great look.
Let’s move on to N1 and D2:

dubz/trekkie/pyxy/epi/mac should proly have a few
1/5 names. Not really gonna credit this as a pointed scum read on trekkie.

Gun to head I would vote IHNI ayyyyyy gottem
It would not be DM or Nicole I know that buuuuuuuuut at the same time I could see the angle on either of them but I don’t wanna cause they’re the only players I can actually read, and I mean that as presently in this game and not just in general
this is kinda a hard read to verbalize but i dont really like the way that trekkie lumps dm & nicole into the same bucket in this post
i feel like a lot of wolves launder soft defenses of their partners thru talking about them in
conjunction with another player, and it feels like trekkie is going out of his way to make up a reason why he isnt willing to push on nicole. just feels a lil partner-y
The meatiest case she had made so far suspecting a player, I think. And it’s on a wolf. Curious. But noting she had this scum read continuing from D1
This should be viewed in context that this was the vote count at the time:
pyxxy (4) - Tranq, nutella, DM, gims
Epig (1) - Spurs
Trek (1) - Scottie
Long Con (1) - dubz
leetic (1) - Vivax
A pretty safe place to make a case on a potential teammate as trekkie only had me as a legitimate voter at that point.
Moving on, she then contemplates how Nicole’s post relate to possibly Epi being guilty before finishing with:

idk i kinda wanna vote trekkie

[VOTE:
trekkie] aubergine
Which ngl is a towny move, and shows throughline. Legitimate bus possibility (and she talks later that the culture of where she comes from mafia are known to bus each other) but on the surface it looks towny.

Chotto matte yo. Trekkie, gims, Nicole and I all came over here after first playing on mafiascum. So we kind of are a natual bucket for him to make. (Though why is gims not included in that list of people you think you can read, Trekkie?)
on reflection i think what i actually find wolfy about that post is just trekkie saying "i could see the angle on either of them" bcuz i dont really see any indication in his ISO that he had reason to be seriously concerned about you or nicole at that point in the game?
it implies a level of solving/interiority that i dont see reflected in the rest of trekkies posts
Another good mark against Trekkie. She feels confident- something I haven’t yet seen from any of her *suspicion* leads so far this game (because again, it’s felt as if she’s led by townclearing people instead of suspecting them)

Voting Pyxxy feels lame
kind of a peculiar post from trekkie bcuz it's not clear what prompted him to say this but fwiw i think he/pyxy are probably not mafia together
Noting that she doesn’t think pyxxy is wolf with trekkie.

It‘s baffling that there‘s players still seriously considering nicole wagon early birds.
^
But is it scummy?
I think no??????
because: "i don't think it's actually scummy to wolfread players on the nicole wagon" is kind of a meaningless interjection because nobody was actually implying that it was, afaict?
it feels like a thing a wolf says when they want to fill the iar, like talking just to talk idk

@jess im your doublevoter but abt to hit the sack, are you staying on trekkie?
probably yeah. i think the only other names i would even be willing to vote today are pyxy/maybe mac, but i dont feel inspired to join either of those wagons right now. good luck on your defense!
Really committed to burying Trekkie now
Let’s be real for a second- if there’s a mafia to bus, it was trekkie. He really wasn’t giving a strong defense and at this point, getting in early on that sinking ship was only something that could prolong your life as a teammate. Take away trekkie, and Tess has far less town equity imo.
Moving on to N2/D3:

im not sure if i have any specific thoughts about long con at all but i think he can hypothetically be mafia simply by the virtue of most other players in the game feeling townier to me
I’m pretty sure in her entire iso this is her first mention of LC. Very throwaway ‘could be maybe possibly wolf’
She then pushes rondo
End of day 3:

for the record i was lurking and trying to figure out who i wanted to vote but i thought i had like 2 more hours bcuz the poll said the day ended at 4 am. but i guess i misunderstood the time zones?
Overall pretty yikes contributions for Long Con, and had a lot more to say about rondo (who may or may not be wolf, but that’s not what I’m going on about here)
Again, take away trekkie and I don’t have a lot of townie things to say about Jess in this game when it comes to handling the other 2 mafia flips.
