No you're anti-town because you're giving reads that are heavily against thread consensus without bothering to explain them. If you wanna make against the grain reads ok, have the decency to explain why you think so or you're just trolling the thread.

The reads I have an issue with from you are stuff like "Strawhenge scum and I won't explain why!" or "SPF scum because she's too townie!" and "SPF can't be town and wrong!"

I don't care for the previous page of this game thread. It felt a little disruptive to what has otherwise been a very good, steady, pro-town progression. So I picked someone in it to vote for. Marmot is POE. Marmot contributed directly to the mass goofing. Marmot ties Oddmerta, who I think is a poor elimination.

This is true based on the one game I saw him as Mafia

Which game was that?

Shadow Corridors

he was known as Thundercat, some sort of villainous alter ego of his I'm sure

Alright, i may read that game sometime tomorrow if i have time

What is your tutuu read?

Tutuu likes playing scum more than town, so she would try more as scum. She has no reason as scum to go for cheap town reads; making typos, saying she isn't reading the game, etc

She didn't do this in bread mafia or overtime mafia, etc

She played a more traditional game with Tutuu towny energy

I think her not caring as much about this game is distinctly towny

the fact that i find TSP considerably wolfier than i found him in Fallout is actually giving me a little bit of pause about his alignment - it's been making me wonder if he sounds wolfier as town because he's trying less hard to filter himself. i am not sure what to do with the majority of his posts

Agree or disagree?

My feeling on her has been flipping back and forth today. Right now I'm going to say no. Mainly because she's coming across as care free and is going with the flow. It's frustrating trying to get information out of her which I don't like though.

"carefree" is tutuu's M.O., but I've felt a few times like she's straining to pull that off this game. I'm not totally sure I see her "going with the flow" though. What do you mean when you say that she's doing that?

What do you mean way too much? It isn't a personal attack, so it clearly doesn't step over conduct lines. I think your reads are bad, I make that opinion clear, and you respond by AtEing at me. If you wanna call that abrasive or think that I take mafia too seriously because I try my best to play well then go ahead, but there's a reason that people tend to follow my reads more than yours and it's because I make my reasoning for those reads transparent and logical. If you refuse to explain your most against-consensus reads then nobody will agree with you on them, and complaining about how you're being discriminated against just because you don't agree with the rest of the thread doesn't help town get there on mafia. So you're anti-town.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 10:42 pm Is "tutuu sought to generate chaos because she and her team are getting boxed in" a legitimate read, or the kind of thing civilians think happens but mafia barely ever actually do?

I am not complaining that people arent following my reads though am i?

All im asking is for people (namely you) to be less rude. Or tell me how to play. I dont think its hard to figure out telling someone that their takes are garbage would make them feel bad. You can voice your disagreement with lots of other less extreme and abrasive words

I think there are players out there who would seek to do this if they were mafia. I do not know enough about tutuu's game to say that she's one of them.

she is either doing a way over the top "why would mafia do that" act or is just town

probably just town at this point idk

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 5:53 am @Alison, you asked what I found decent from KZA. I’m on my phone so it’s difficult to extract quotes, but I’ll summarize. I do think there has been some measure of incisive hunting/solving sprinkled into the less meaningful “I suck” posts dismissive of the game.

I thought his grievance with SPF looked alright, that her array of five suspects was KZA himself plus four low posters. That’s not a bad thing to poke, even if I don’t agree with the conclusion. More recently I’ve appreciated his willingness to stand in defense of Michelle in an otherwise constricted state that offers few enough low-content players to beef with.

It’s not a confident matter. I’ve kept KZA in my POE pool. I’m not sure he’s the best chop on the board though.

I have seen a few stabs at doing some solving from KZA but nothing that bowls me over. I am concerned by the amount of resistance to his wagon for reasons that do not inspire me, and I note that all of my strongest townreads nobody seems willing to say anything more than "I guess he can be upper POE instead of lower POE".

I am taking your point about his defense instead of Michelle into consideration. I personally think that if I was a POE'd scum in this gamestate I would view a push onto Michelle as a trap; it seems fairly clear that a lot of loud, obvious town players are or will be willing to leap to her defense, and she also has an exceptionally high ability to clear herself, leaving you looking extremely bad afterwards. I don't fully agree that the gamestate is constricted: out of [Al sama, ted, Marmot, LC, JPIC, Dom, BoKnows], at least some of these have to be town and I think they're reasonably easy for a POE'd scum to redirect the exe to that doesn't offer as high a risk of backfire as trying to attack Michelle.
