Vulgard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 6:20 am I initially believed that tutuu's claim just now was towny, but then I realized it doesn't make sense for her to believe what she said. "Building imperfect cases on purpose and pointing it out for the sake of pocketing." That sounds like an incredibly forced reason to suggest that my push is not town-motivated.

I agree, but I also think it’s just simpler than that. It’s very very important to tutuu that the suspicion you’ve placed on her goes away. I think a townie looks at what you’ve written and says “well he’s wrong, but he’s reasonable, he’ll re-evaluate.” Tutuu comes at you all guns blazing.

I guarantee I will be able to read ted confidently this game.

Confidently and correctly? Well, that’s another question.

I don’t actually think it’s >rand scum but it does make me emotionally want to scum read them because I would hate to lose to it.

I lost to it recently, and I felt so styled on that I scumread it on principle now.

G-Man wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 6:13 am A few things:

1) Fake claiming is allowed. I mean, technically a baddie saying “I’m town” in defense of accusations is a fake claim. I just don’t want my power roles to claim their real roles because that leads to the game breaking down too easily. I like making it hard on you players and watching you guys squirm.

2) I’m fine with turning off the linki feature if that’s what the group prefers. I will check with nutella on how to do that.

3) You guys post a lot. So much, in fact, that I probably won’t be reading every post this game. I’ll skim where I can, but I promise nothing. If you have a direct question or request of me, use the Mention tag or send me a PM.

4) I will add the ISO links to the OP when I get home from work tonight.

5) There are still five people who have not viewed their role PMs yet. This is why we Day 0.

Vulgard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 3:21 am I have a question. Is it normal for people on this site to claim mafia as town? I’m playing my first game here.

On principle, I scumread Hally, ted and tutuu already, because they all claimed mafia and I don’t like that.

Tutuu’s followup where she claims cop instead doesn’t make me feel better about her slot; instead, it makes me think she’s mafia, who thinks that these claims are Funny and Towny. They are not.

Hally’s post that they were being scummy on purpose reads like a mafia excuse. I do not buy it it. This is still a mafia read.

Light townread on Ash Lael for his take on NANOOK. I think it was a good take, and I like the way it was phrased. Concise, to the point, no unnecessary flair, no hedging or doubt.

Post #137 by Hally contains some useful information if Hally’s mafia. Namely, it spews Michelle town in that world. I don’t like either of the takes on Michelle even without my scumread on Hally; they feel quite forced, and the first one comes across as written in bad faith. “Oh, I was totally being scummy on purpose and they ignored it, so they are mafia for ignoring my scummy self.”

The fact it is prefaced by “at the risk of jumping the gun” is also the type of hedge I read as mafia indicative. It preemptively establishes that “the person writing the post can be wrong, and that you should consider that if you kill Michelle and she flips town.”

I also don’t like Hally’s later townread on Michelle, because it feels forced. I don’t mind the progression change nearly as much as I do mind the reasoning behind the read. “She made a read on me involving me posting a spoiler, which is towny, so I will read you town now.” It doesn’t sound genuine to me.

You could disregard my mafia reads if it is common to claim mafia here, but I think tutuu and Hally have both crossed into “mafia even outside of their mafia claims” territory.

Ash Lael is legitimately my only townread so far and even that one is light. In fact, while writing this post, I think I should shift him back to null, because my reason for townreading him is rather thin to begin with.

Arete still has not posted anything outside of their mafia range. Unsurprisingly, since they have barely posted substantial stuff.

Off-Topic: Looks like Hally is in the same club of mafia where Arete belongs as well. “People who were in Champs but still call themselves bad at mafia for some reason.” You guys are good, and I’m going to treat you with respect of your play within the game. Which means, no easy clears. Have fun, Hally, the one who did not want to feel pressured

Ted can be a stupid person instead.

Ash Lael wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 8:45 am I swear tutuu is an artificial intelligence designed specifically to get scumread by me.

Excessively self aware? Check.

Overreacts to pressure? Check.

Openwolfing? Check.

Overtly performative? Check.

Townreading everyone? Check.

At this rate I’m expecting a player salad to come out of her any moment now.

I think that's actually a very mafia thing to do in this game if what you're saying is true. After getting partially PLed in the previous game as town, I assume that you wouldn't want that to happen to you once more, should you rand town again. Not caring about preventing that mistake seems mafia indicative to me with this context.

I don't understand Hally calling everyone town. So far, I've been calling everyone mafia. Maybe it's culture shock, to some degree.
