Isn't it better for the fruit vendor to claim right away? Basically an IC, yeah? Could have me (the watcher) go on 'em too. I know it's delayed mechanics and all, but still useful as long as I'm not killed.

And for everyone's efforts on this page, I'm gonna slap a small townread on all of you good folk right away. I'm warning ya though, my mind changes easily, but gettin' good vibes from this crowd. I like Jimmy's idea too, about Stayposi being naturally on guard about his early buddy-buddy with her. He seems like a good player, so I think her being naturally curious about all of that is pretty nice as far as ground zero reads go.

Hate this post, I’m always against claiming earlier especially d1

Erm, my scumread of Sloonei was a joke and I walked back my initial ping regarding Lime Coke. I thought I'd stated both of those things in the thread (definitely the latter, and I believe yes on the former). Why don't you find them coming from a scum mindset?

I have no updates on either read at this moment.

Sloonei: I'd vote for responding to a joke post with an deadpan question.

Wait where did he do that at?

My reason for voting him is also a joke.

But I'm talking about this exchange.


The reason I'd stated interest in voting for LC was that when I first joined the thread, you'd been pretty quick in responding to my posts, but took much longer to respond to my question asking about scumreads. But I also see that you were interacting with someone else, and your response is agreeable in the sense that I believe what you said, so I'm willing to walk that back for now.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 12:53 am I have deliberately avoid sharing an explicit read on Jay this game, as has become my habit lately, because so often people will just wait for me to give my thoughts on him and then sheep whatever I say, and I don't like what that does to the thread climate if it happens too early. We have played a bazillion mafia games together and are actually the same person.

I say this not to protest Dolby's suggestion that The Triad is too confident in each other, rather to emphasize that that perceived confidence is not without reason. There's a long history here, at least between Jay and I.

I have only known SPF since last year's champs tournament, but we were in multiple games together and discovered that we also tend to perceive the game along similar lines there. So there is again a strong degree of familiarity with her approach, in that it is noticeable and significant when our thoughts align early on.

I’ve been able to hover around all day today and I feel pretty good about a relatively large group of town reads. I lack any definitive suspects though, and would like to actually have a tangible suspicion against somebody as we crawl toward the deadline.

So you are confident in JJJ, but not offering a read on him? I'm gathering also that there is a triad of you/JJJ/SPF that have become an unstoppable cohesive unit?

rough snapshot of where my brain is at. i feel good about jagged/sloonei/dizzy/sonofanarch being villagers, and in a world where there is a wolf within these names, i believe that it would only be one. i townread limecoke/illario as well - i think that limecoke has consistently gotten more and more villagery as the day has gone on, and i think that illario has been villagery from the moment the game started - the only reason he isn't in my "confident town" tier is because i know how strong his wolf game is, and how bad i can be at reading him lol

falcon has made no impression on me so far. TSP is mildly wolfy solely because his posts don't make sense to me.

marmot is low in my list because as much as i love the GIF in https://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewt ... 76#p855876, i think the way marmot talks about TSP feels overly hedgy/cautious. sig is low in my list for obvious reasons

i do not think this is The Solve, and looking at this list more, i actually suspect i'm misreading someone in my list of towns (perhaps i should be taking a closer look at my read on Son Of Anarch - i wrote him off as town almost immediately when i have no idea what his range is like or how competent of a wolf he is), but i think it's a good enough place to start. current feeling is that there's a wolf or two in the bottom 4 names and then another wolf or two in the zero posters, and then one final wolf in the upper tier. that might an overtly convoluted way to explain my reads, but it's just how i'm looking at the game rn

More people please

Being concerned about others read on you. Bad look

Susses LC for piggybacking JJJ. A good look that they both had similar thoughts towards the slot.

Having a catchup post is towny and I'd rather crash than read it

I think that the TSP vote is unnatural coming from scum and moving against a potential pocket.

Don't like the sig vote but apparently a number of people agree with it so won't hold it against him

Scum in 0 posters is a yikes

I think he comes off better between him and sig

I want to sleep

He's like reasonably obvious town imo. he came into the game complaining about a claim, of course he did. then he did some grumbling, of course he did.

does anyone here know if TSP & sig have a lot of experience with each other? this read from TSP doesn't make sense to me, and i'm wondering if that could be because there's some kind of meta that i'm missing out on

sidenote, the reasoning that TSP uses to townread sig here reminds me of jagged's reasoning to townread TSP on page 1:

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 8:15 pm tony is probably town too. of course town tony cares about watcher claim mechanics

don't know if this actually means anything - i just find it interesting that both of these posts use the specific reasoning of: "of course this player would enter the game caring about this"

Just don't think either is a scummy read.

He didn't feel that you vibed well for a reason, and LC taking a long time implies that he wasn't thinking about how he felt on who at the time, which could be a natural concern.

Marmot wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 2:09 am I read sig's ISO. It's 12 posts. It's not townie. I could see him being town, but I could also see him being scum. I can't make up my mind on him right now. I can't tell what he's trying to do, except pick a fight with a player that's roleclaimed. Those are the kind of waves that, at least to me, don't make sense for a scum player to make.

I'd love feedback on this take.
