Starting right here, one of the points that's been drilled into my head is that scum Colin cares about not letting down his teammates. Town Colin is free to drift more casually into the game. A post like this one strikes me as being much more likely to come from town Colin than scum Colin.
This is not to say that town Colin doesn't care, just that a town player is under less immediately pressure to make an impact.
ColinIsCool wrote: Thu Feb 27, 2020 7:13 pm Although before I caught up I misinterpreted nutella as scum and read the thread as such, so some of my thoughts are useless.

I feel best about sig, his NANOOK suspicion and case felt really genuine. I also really like just about everything I’ve seen from ted. I like Jay so far, and Epi.

The Michelle post I quoted earlier bugged me out, I’m not sure what it meant/if it makes any sense. I agree with Epi’s concerne toward juliets.

Radishes isn’t giving me the same exact vibe as he did when I sniffed him out as 3P in Inception, but it’s similar ...
Other people have called Colin out for this post. I would also like to know more about what he saw/thought he saw in the particular Michelle post. I'm not claiming to understand this post completely, but it is the type of town-colin post I've misidentified in the past. He's plopping a few reads down without much detail or force and then bouncing off. In the past I've read that as a player who is trying to keep away from the spotlight. Instead I think it's a player who's participating in the capacity that he's able to without being bothered by how that will be received.

This post has also got him some flak, but I again read it as a sing of town colin. He's literally quoting himself from a past game in which he was town, for one. I don't think scum colin is going to go for this sort of emotional/historical manipulation.

I don't know if I said "similar behavior", but what I've mislynched colin for in the past is his tendency to hang back and provide reads at his own pace. It's easy to misread that as a tentative, behind-the-action scum player, when in reality it's just been a behind-the-action civilian trying not to overstate his thoughts.

I have not looked closely at his posts in this game so I can't give you a detailed interpretation of what he looks like here. But that's my general warning against lynching Colin.
Thank you Sloonei that is helpful. I'll take another look at him and try to guard against reading him on a tendency to hang back and provide reads at his own pace.
juliets, I’ve been playing games with you since I signed up here, including recently. Why do you need Sloonei to tell you how I play? :confused:
I like this question and it's consistent with a thread colin's been tugging at re: juliets since early on in the game.
ColinIsCool wrote: Sat Feb 29, 2020 1:24 pm See my recent post for why I’m placing a vote on [VOTE: Tony] aubergine for now.
The only thing I see that could indicate why this vote exists is that colin referred to a random number generator? That's not super inspiring. I'd rather see a vote for juliets or michelle, for instance.

I remain inclined to town-read Colin and will defend him. I am fully aware that I have a bias (reverse bias?) to defend him right now because I have been guilty of misreading him in just about every game we've played together in recent memory. But I also need to hear more from Colin to believe fully in this read. @ColinIsCool can you tell us more about Michelle and juliets? Even if you are not currently suspicious of them, it appears that you have been at some point in this game. What prompted that, and how have those reads developed?
So Michelle, I feel like her stance on Radishes/3P was a general idea about Mafia that doesn’t really track whereas my idea was about Radishes in particular. That’s the difference and it’s not enough to really scumread Michelle (townies have inconsistent logic every game). I don’t scumread her at the moment.

juliets, I just find myself asking questions of her play, which is a lot of asking questions. Sometimes (like in the exchange I quoted) it looks like she’s looking for someone to tell her how to feel so that she can take cover under the thoughts of others, but now I’m getting kinda tinfoilly. I would lean scum I think all the same.

Re: Tony, see the post Dizzy made that I quoted.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: Sat Feb 29, 2020 2:53 pm It doesn’t work that way! Interest can be gestured at and pinpointed, disinterest cannot. Disinterest is an overarching lack of interest, it isn’t an active thing in and of itself.

It’s like saying “god isn’t real because he didn’t respond to prayers X Y and Z,” but then you can just say “well he did fulfill prayers A B and C.” You can’t prove the lack of something, you can’t point to one specific thing that indicates it, you can only say “I can’t point to anything that makes me believe in God’s existence/Colin being interested in finding scum, thus I do not believe in God/Colin being interested in finding scum.”

So if I had to point at a post, I’d point at all of them and say nothing makes me believe that Colin is engaged in this game in a townie way.
Disinterest absolutely can be expressed and recognized on its own terms!

“I’m not really engaged with this game right now.”

Why are we going down this semantic rabbit hole, though?

I think you’re mixing me up with someone else. I barely had a chance to play The Wire — I believe I got mislynched. :grin:

So NANOOK, prior I didn’t see any other mention of colin or a suspicion until this post. This was after you had said colin was a baddie.

And there is truly no other player you have a better or any reason to suspect at the moment? Given your post amount, I’m positive you can do better.

Also where NANOOK and juliets were talking pinged me slightly, not sure why
Nah I think NANOOK has been on me for a while. From my POV he seems more earnest than some others on my tail although I reserve the right to no-u at any moment :charlieblackmon:

I'd previously assessed the Day 1 Jack wagon that had ballooned. I didn't know why your vote was on it; you didn't really indicate that.

Apart from that he's also played with me before, so he should be able to have an actual opinion on me. But the main thing is that it was off wagon and a throw away vote. Sloonei did that as scum (lone vote on me D1) when he was scum the last time I was town. Just saying.

Did you read the post above it? Sloonei was green in that post, I was proofreading it, and I accidentally colored the cut/paste the wrong color, lol. This was an ebwop, edit by way of post since editing isn't allowed. I don't red read him, it was a mistake. Look at the post *right before this one*, the one where I gave reads on everyone.

I’m arguing against lynching Colin because I’ve been down this road myself too many times in the past. This is a “don’t make the same mistakes that I did, kids” plea. If I’m wrong then shit, oh well. Kudos for catching him. But I don’t have faith in the case against him this far.

I am inclined to agree with this. Tonally I do feel like Radishes is playing a similar game to Inception. Also, question for him or for the thread, but when he ISO’d a bunch of people nobody else was talking about, why did he pick those people? Was it prompted?

Ok, I think I said way earlier I would take a look at Tony and Colin has inspired me to do it now. I have to be away from the thread though for a bit so I won't post my thoughts for a while.

All I can attest to is Nanook perceived you were on him like a dog with a bone. I'm not saying that's evidence that your game there was different than here, to me it just says Nanook's feeling here is genuine, whether it's true or not. I hope that makes sense.

Why?
“Me? Why be concerned with silly old me? I just don’t have the constitution to be bad”
He is quoting himself from a previous game in which he was town.
I don't care?
It's a pretty bad post.

Additionally, he was my theory that I mentioned earlier. He's failed his test miserably.
Why don’t you care? This is direct evidence that that post can and does exist alongside a civilian version of ColinIsCool. You can’t just throw a blanket over that and call it bad.
I think it's pretty.... weak... to quote yourself from a different game where you were civ and saying you're bad at the game.
It's not direct evidence of anything. I can quote myself from another game saying I'm civillian and it means nothing here.

Your dog and pony show is bad and I don't like it.
I could probably go for a Mac vote too tbh

You are presenting him self quoting from a different game as grand evidence of him being civvie. Literally anyone could do this. It's not evidence of anything.

You, like a teacher hoping to impress their administrator with a lesson play they'd never employ were it not for the observation in the first place, are reading as hollow, meaningless, and half hearted.

I really don't want to say any more about it until I do see more. It's odd to me that he hasn't yet come into the thread after the early lynch but it's not unheard of for Mac to miss a day. He did say early on in the thread that he's a very busy guy.

One thing I'd like to know from Mac is why there was the turn around on Jack. On one day he is saying Jack is lying and nutella should be our leader and then this:
MacDougall wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2020 12:16 am Jack is exhibiting his "I am scum" tell. I bet he keeps doing it too.
and then his very next post about the subject comes the next day when he says:
MacDougall wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2020 8:39 pm Btw Jack is always right about Nutella. It's canon. So either he's town and she's wolf or he's wolf and she's wolf, or he's wolf and she's town. But one of them is always a wolf so we should lynch Nutella.
and then he was off and running with his badgering of nutella regarding her comment in another game that Jack always reads her correctly.

Mac, can you explain your turnaround from thinking Jack was scummy with his nutella suspicion to thinking Jack had hit the nail on the head with respect to her? What happened in between that changed your mind?

I apologize if someone already asked this and I don't remember.
The turnaround is in how other people’s votes fell. :keys:

Yeah I get you.

FWIW of those voting for me, NANOOK’s beef feels most earnest. Turbup and Dom less so.

Although I will concede that Dom is right that me quoting myself is not evidence of anything, and I didn’t post it as such.

Master Radishes wrote: Sat Feb 29, 2020 5:58 pmAfter spending some time on jack & nutella’s little ditty, his vote on me comes a bit out of nowhere. He shaded me earlier, so there’s that, but he arrives back in the thread to hop on my wagon after it’s already grown in a little spurt. Very opportunistic moment, basically. Only explains it later, and for reasoning I find poor. Like, making a deal out of the ‘4th vote = scum’ thing? Come on. It reads like he scanned the thread for a few things to say that others already have about me.
At least twice now you've referenced my suspicion of you only in terms of the least important point (the "4th voter") thing. In so doing, you have left the substantive digs hanging -- your handling of me and your handling of Sloonei. I am reminded of the dummy scroll moment from Romance of the Three Kingdoms that helped me to catch BadMac.
Master Radishes wrote: Sat Feb 29, 2020 5:58 pmBut then back to more one-line soft reads. The most egregious one I find to be this, which is just…weak. It’s meant to be jokey, but in the context of Jay’s larger play this game strikes me wrongly. Then, despite all his one-off reads here and there, he lands back on me as a vote.
"The most egregious one-line soft read" you've referenced here is not a read at all. I asked Jack a question. What?
A - I was pointing out the most egregious (word of the day, apparently) example from your justification. The rest sounds like a summary of the work others did for you.

B - poor wording re: calling it a 'read', but you know what I mean obviously.

Definite scum lean.
In recent memory Turnip Head has rarely been one to play the game loudly -- quiet but attentive is an apt description of him. I'd say he is on-meta. How does this impact your read?
Quiet is one thing. Is it on meta to give no reasoning behind his thoughts?
Yes. Absolutely. Same question
Eh, my read doesn't really change. Scummy play is scummy play. But when it came to voting I would bow to others who know him better saying 'that's just his meta' for now. In Inception I heavily scumread Juliets but allowed myself to be convinced it was just her meta, and that turned out well. (Of course, people said the same about Eva and I got the last laugh there, so...)

I'll expand. His involvement in this game has been significant in one arena to my memory -- the Jacktella combat. And his part in that combat was to parrot Jack (both against nutella and in favor of nutella) such that he had no personal accountability for nutella's eventual flip. He left all of it on Jack's lap.

Otherwise, irrelevance.

I don’t think he’s called me scum yet, and that’s noteworthy.

What do you remember from any player in this game thread that you haven't just ISO'd? I haven't read everything yet, but I dunno what you think of anyone.
Then you're not actually reading my posts, just voting for me. Interesting.
I'll restate a concrete gripe: after engaging in a good amount of direct conversation with Sloonei on Day 1, you provided a read on him:

Spoiler: show
Master Radishes wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2020 6:17 pm To save a post, I'll complete my ISO of Sloonei here:

Basically gonna cop out and say: :shrug: I think I need meta and/or just to wait for later rounds to read him properly. Over half his posts are questions to other players, most of which aren't then followed up. (Already discussed above - not a fan of it.)

But then there are moments where he's clearly not afraid to prod others, e.g. with ted early on ('like he was trying to shove me away'), or sig shortly after that (what 'antsy' means). He's equally not interested in letting bad lines of inquiry play out (Nanook's 'satire' post; Radishes' use of 'baddie') which he suggests shutting down in both cited cases. He also banters when he sees an opportunity ('Mac's big D' etc) which shows he's loose, even as the game began to turn more serious.

But, as ever, caveats and all that. This isn't un-fakeable by any means.

So Sloonei remains pretty null for me until I see more. I'm not TRing him, but at the moment not inclined to vote here.

This all looks like filler. I see various reasons why you might view Sloonei as a civilian and no reasons why you might view him as a mafioso save for the vague "caveat" and "un-fakeable" stuff. It's meaningless. You talk with him often, you ISO him, you say all this about him, and the payoff is "null".

This isn't my only concern with you, but it's a good summary of why I suspect you. This kind of thing is apparent throughout your content.
I'm not allowed to be uncertain how to read another player? On D1?

Sloonei's style I find to be closed off. I don't have a good handle on what to make of him. So sue me.
