Strawhenge who seems very town would be with Marmot it hes fooling us.

KZA, Falcon and LC would be the other contenders.

Numerous micro-interactions between various pairs and trios of players that could not be effectively summarized without writing a novel. You might be well advised to try catching up with ISOs instead of forcing yourself through the thread. If you want to do that though, you do you.

My tactic in large games has been to largely ignore everything that happens until halfway through Day 1 for my own sanity. That said, town has lost every such game. I'll start with SPF and KZA isos.

JJJ trying to make this game look easy on page 2. I dislike.

i dunno if marmot is that type of mafia player archetype where he picks up on specific stuff to call out, given that he hasn't been around in a long time and just recently picked up the pace, i'm gonna go with a slight villager look

my vote would probably land on aL_sama, marmot, or ted right now. i honestly don't have a single name that i can point to as definitely being scum right now though - i moreso have the game divided between "probably town" and "probably not town"

I also had a salad for dinner tonight.

my number one takeaway from this game so far is that i don't understand what "salad" means :P

"I would vote A, B, or C" is close to the prototype for the player salad tell. It's suggestive of keeping one's options wide open when not comfortable committing to suspicions. What's holding you back from placing one of those votes right now?

that makes sense - i would say that i am thinking in salad terms right now because of the particular gamestate we're in

i'm not at a point where i can confidently point to one player and say "this person is a wolf", but i am at a point where i can point to a pool of people and say "this pool probably has wolves", and vice versa for town. the more specific wolfreads tend to come later in the game when i've had more time to interrogate people and feel things out

there's nothing particularly holding me back from making a vote right now, either. i just don't feel particularly inspired to do it at the moment. it'll happen

JJJ said this game would be easy, but it never actually is.

Also, that's a lot of adverbs and use of the word "particular" in one post.

I don't think he's ever gone for this line as a wolf before? Correct me if wrong

i'm confused as to why he thinks tutuu would deliberately attempt to fake mac's play style

What moved you?

i no longer felt comfortable with my vote on fingersplints, and the concerns that i had about marmot yesterday have not been alleviated in the slightest by his posting today.. i got the impression that he may have been trying to play up the dichotomy of tutuu/myself

I had mild suspicions of both of you, and then you starting butting heads, or at least tutuu starting calling you scum. That's when I happened to voice said suspicions.

But of course tutuu's back to townreading you (as of this post of yours), which is also my qualm with her.

this seems fine

Tutuu's been an active presence in the thread, but changing her reads on a whim.

Nanook said he's not going to read JJJ until Day 3-4, but he's made multiple posts like [url[https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 91#p760791]this one[/url] and this one that look like mild attempts at shade.

this shows he's at least been paying attention to the game a bit

overall, his main focus seems to be shading / pushing the POWERFUL players in a POWERFUL playerlist on D0 - D1.

on the elite reads ranks, jay and marmot are probably not w/w

marmot seems like a villager

Maybe that wasn't the right word. I saw you called him town multiple times, but I couldn't find an explanation before.

If wolf TSP has resorted to machine gunning stream of thought stuff and pushing Michelle then his faction is probably POE'd. It has one deepwolf at best, I doubt two. (I'm assuming 3-4 member wolf teams here since that's the ratio that makes the most sense to me.) I think KZA is more likely with Marmot than with TSP. As mentioned I think Al sama is also more likely with Marmot than TSP, and so is ted.

That leaves JPIC as the only other person in the POE. JPIC could be scum with TSP. LC could be scum with TSP. I'm not sure who else honestly. Maybe nanook if I squint. Maybe Marmot's team has three people and the one I posited as being on Marmot's team is with TSP.
