I'm dancing about with my vote as I continue to process game matters. The only vote that really matters is the last one, so I can be rather frivolous about moving it around.

In the spoiler box he mentions numerous players.


Most of those players are black fonted, which I undrstood to mean null reads.


S'all good, he explained himself and I'm good with his rationale.

in all of the games I've played with Marmot recently where he was town, he took the position of a high posting contrarian. in fallout he got into a big fight with sloonei etc.. In this game, on the other hand, he's posted rather little (that can be explained by other factors) and while in the thread largely followed the town leaders as far as I can tell.

You may or may not have also noticed, but I've made a habit of participating very little in most of Day 0 and early Day 1 before really engaging games, mainly for my own sanity and ability to keep up with a game over multiple days.

hi why fingersplints maf

i had mentally sorted strawhenge and fingersplints into the same tier of: "back after a long absence with towny openings". as my townread on strawhenge grew more confident with time, i decided that i wanted to re-evaluate my feelings about fingersplints as well

i took a peek at fingersplints ISO and got pinged by this post: https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 29#p760229 . it felt to me like fingersplints was trying to "establish" his position in the game without actually believing in the stuff that he was saying. i was turned off by him outing a bunch of consensus townreads with the reasoning of: "this person feels genuine". i also felt that he had some strong reasoning on https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 63#p760363 that he immediately invalidated by going out of his way to emphasize that he didn't have any ~actual~ read on long con

those two posts were enough for me to park my vote on him overnight and see how the thread played around it. i'm not sure about him being a wolf, but i do have some concerns about him. i am relatively lukewarm about his most recent posting

I don’t have a lot I can say to you feeling like I didn’t believe what I was saying. It was a quick post as I was just attempting to get started on reading the thread and figuring out how I was feeling about the players, and those three stood out most to me at that point from a vibes perspective. I tend to gravitate towards trying to read players I know first unless something stands out to me, which is why JJJ and Sloonei were some of the first as I played with them prior to my five year break and they seemed most obviously townie at that point. Falcon stood out to me for seeming to start the scum hunting, which I would find a mafia to be a bit more hesitant on.

As to the second part, I’m not sure what the strong reasoning you say I had was, as I was literally just trying to ask a question. I seem to talk to and about LC a lot in games. Perhaps there is just familiarity and comfort there, as I have been playing with him the longest. (Exception to Dom who is a no show but also comes from the same show forum as LC and me). I’ll always be wary of LC. He is a formidable player with a bit of a zany approach to mafia that can hide both his mafia and town game especially early before he is very invested.

Also, I don’t usually correct this but my pregnancy hormones are crazy today, so I’m a she.
