Right – time for an IOA post again, but some of you may glean the inner machinations of my mind.
http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 50#p617998
for the link to my explanation on my actions prior to Soneji being shot and why I read Epi as scummy.
My reads:
Hally – lock town atm and im okay losing to them if they are an alien. Got to get burned at least once to learn and cant just be paranoid all game because someone said your scum game is amazeballs. Being universally townread when you also subjectively townread them should give you some confidence that the read is correct.
Alison – hard town after shoving the paranoid down re meta dive. Im already deep into your pocket, you can stop calling me town now. I might be guilt of the double “L” issue. Sometimes I will forget, sometimes my phone does weird stuff with spelling, but I will try. Alison probing LC is also towny imo.
Mac – kind of has suspicion on Epi, which is town leaning from my pov. I lean them still towards alien if I had to pick because I dislike their POE shortlist (me, Alison and Carotenoid). Their logic of thinking I am alien partners with Soneji and trying to get the shot onto Epi when it looks like Soneji is likely getting shot, when I know there is flips is bananas. I didn’t read get the lolcat read on their early entrance (some people seem to have had), and assume its confusing as all hell to get dropped into a game. Have now had a chance to evaluate their posts. I didn’t remember Mac pushing Nutella to shoot Soneji that hard, but he is claiming that it happened and nobody is screaming liar liar, so lets assume that was true. So leaning alien, but not high in my POE. Their whole “if you scum read me after I sleep, I am not posting anymore” hostage negotiation seems weird and I expected more from the GOAT. How do you like my naked psychology bait?
Dunya – I was all over the place on them previous day and then they went afk for their birthday. Happy birthday and awesome cake. Still parked for now.
Lon Con – happy they are posting more, but wish they would post even more than they have. Were my number 2 alien due to not participating that much/solving/contributing to help town. Don’t want them in POE as I feel that can develop a read on them if they continue to post. Is open to Epi being an alien and attempted to explain to me why Epi is being townread by the majority of the game for things I think are clear anti wincon for town. Strictly speaking NAI as well, but I want to encourage more engagement with them.
Carotenoid – still gets the towncred for taking the effort to look through the math. Still seems towny to me. Thinks Alison is an alien, which worries me because I have both Carotenoid AND Alison in my hard town circle.
Rej – kinda null on them, they don’t post that much which makes it hard to remember things. Hopefully they post more so I can develop a read.
Dyslexicon – has stopped memeing and is giving content which I like. No strong opinion yet, but I probably don’t want them in POE for day 2. Unlikely to be aliens with Hally for letting new people know Hally has a scary scum game. Quite like most of their list here

Wish they didn’t hard defend Epi for being objectively anti town, but giving them a towny mindset which could be faked. Potential partner with Epi.
Nanook – seems hard town for NOT wanting saves to be expended except on Nutella. I hard agree with this from a mechanics perspective at least until the number of players reduces a bit. Its simply too hard to expend a save, and try to save a maximum of 4 bunker shots when you are saving into 12 candidates. It can’t be correct. I don’t think an alien ever pushes this agenda because its anti wincon. Also, are you Clem? “Smart townies make dumb reads literally all the time” – yes, but should they be townread for doing it or scumread?
Tutuu – should be in POE as alien. Their whole explanation for why they read Epi as town is nonsense. Its reads like an entire walkback of their original posts and explains something else entirely. Don’t want to unintentionally trigger them again, but if people are so inclined, I suggest you iso our posts and see if you can follow their thought process and how it links to their posts. Read their earlier explanation vs their final explanation.

Every player will have their own subjective reads. Im not allowed to think something they did is less towny? Originally stated they townread Epi for having a dumb scumread on Tutuu. Now says don’t remember anything, but they had a townread on Epi with still no explanation or reasoning to explain how Epi thought x, and what Tutuu thought about Epis logic to arrive at that conclusion. The fact remains, they still said they townread Epi for thinking Tutuu is scum for a dumb reason. Still hasn’t explain anything at all imo and now just asserts they though epi is town (with explicitly no explanation or inclination to give one), and just says they don’t think Epi is dumb – so really its all waffle. Do we prefer the term salad on this forum? Is this salad?
The takeaway seems to be, you can post something and actually mean something else entirely and other people are supposed to read their mind because they are obvious town? Doesn’t seem very logical to me, I get that some people just aren’t logical and it doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t town. I generally find their continuous narration of their life while posting kind of weird and filler-esque but am trying to force myself to take it NAI.
Tony – still lean them town and wish they would post more. Not just talking post count, talking posts which move me and help me determine alignment with high confidence level.

I like stuff like this, because its PRO town. Alien don’t need to do this, its easy to cause chaos in the final hours of the night re protection for Nutella.
Epi – I don’t think people want me to rehash this.
How they perceive me:
Hally – reads me as town with a bad read on Epi.
Alison – reads me as hard town.
Mac – wants to put me into poe, I suspect for my posts near EoD1. Thinks I am weird and fake. I am weird for sure, but fake? I think most people just read me as spewing town. Thinks I am not dumb, and would not tie myself to Soneji if I was an alien, but still thinks I am an alien. I still don’t really understand the final conclusion of why I am an alien to Mac.
Dunya – leans me town.
LongCon – wants me or dizzy to be the laser target. I asked why, but no response yet.
Carotenoid – after some consideration of my alignment, has decided I am town. Good.
Rej – thought I was town yesterday, no idea today.
Dyslexicon – thinks I am town. Good
Nanook – I have zero idea on their view of my alignment. To my knowledge, has never compiled a reads list. Seems kinda weird, but they being universally townread already so maybe don’t feel under pressure to do so. We should force one anyway out of principle of having more info later after more people die.
Tutuu – prob thinks I am town, until I made this post and now likely wants me shot again. <shrugs>
Tony – No idea of their view of my alignment, other than downward spiral re wanting to push Epi.
Epi – thinks I am an alien, still has not given any evidence or logic behind the allegation.

why shouldn't one of you or dizzy be lying to me?
”, and the hard tunnel onto LC at the start of day 0. Might be a meta thing I just have no idea but could also just be distancing. Then claims laser will be fine because Dunya/Epi will be using their save onto the laser. “2 people. You'll be fine. I promise. Epi and dun got ur back gurl”. This would be fine if they were both exactly town, but how does anyone else know they are both town? We don’t. “We publicly make a list of who protects who. When someone dies we know who lied” – this is also super alien. We should mix the saves into public and private so the aliens do not have perfect info on saves. Dunya in later posts moves back into town. My head hurts.
