Hi. This is me rising from my grave. Ill be on the level with you, I skimmed the truly massive quote walls because I CBA.

A lot this stuff is just general feelings. I know very little and my rust is showing a bit more than Id like. I usually spend most of my in person games just talking shit, but I find myself lost in the walls of text to analyze.

serp (vv)
moe (vv)
Confirmed, which is nice

Sub (n+)
Oh this is the sub I remember

kaemp (n+)
Got good feelings about the lad. No idea why, but everything sounds earnest.

Ge0 (n+)
Just doing they're own thing, but trying to respond when questioned. Feels normal.

shock (n+)
I really appreciate the sheer chaotic energy that radiates from every post. Please continue. Also, they're doing what I do IRL, just in text form. 12/10

DC (n)
More shitposting please

ian (n)
I dont disagree with anything they say. The comments on skimming the thread and the general low content to each post (just a sentence or two) gives me a "Town who CBA give 110%" but could very well be a mafia trying to slip under the radar

Cal (n)
Im not getting a read. No calls for action, just advising caution.

Annele (?)
Scumread rob hard. As rob pointed out, theyre initial hit felt odd, but the back down felt real. IDK, I have my reservations.

MW (?)
I dont know what it is, but something just feels off. I haven't quite put my finger one what it is exactly.

andretimpa (?)
Similarly, something just feels off, but I can't tell if thats just because /everyone/ is sus of timpa, or if theyre actually scum. Everything they do just screams neutral ground to me, which I know is ironic coming from an equally neutral list.


I just default don't listen to anything these three say because they could sell water to a fish.
rob ()
While I generally don't like the feeling of shooting players N0. I think it was correct but it makes me :////
torb ()
Feels a little aggro in spots, but if I recall thats pretty on brand.
Link ()
The banter is fun, please continue. It makes catching up fun.


I'm going to hold back on voting for now, but I do intend to cast a vote before the day is up. I just want some more time to think.

* Link - I couldn't care less who has more posts... why do you care? (I dont' see any silly roles interacting with post counts... so??) *

The relative low level of pushes to sway wagons I see as likely indicative of possibly:
1. We have competing scum wagons (which would be GREAT)
2. We have competing town wagons (do NOT like this)
3. elements activity is always lower than I'm used to elsewhere, so just not a lot of "prescence"...

--> I'm accustomed to most players being around at EOD's, in which case calm thread means scum have either no reason to try to manuever (town wagons; or dont' know how to parse wagons of teammates) / town feel 'solved' on an acceptable state of votes... or the worst case just a dead thread activity level which is not fun at all.

for reference the wagons at the time be like:

rob77dp (1) - Ge0metry v1.2
Submachine (3) - Calindu, serprex, rob77dp
andretimpa (4) - Linkcat, Annele, MasterWalks, DoubleCapitals

I won't be able to vote near deadline (it'll be early morning for me) btw. Wagons have started to shift against rob and being voted by confirmed serp makes me at least a bit queasy about holding my vote as is.

Looking at how andre holds his thoughts on rob as per

@torb

rob is posting this at the time where andretimpa is ahead in votes. Why? He is hoping to shift the train in favor of someone other than andretimpa without having the entire mafia list in the train.

This strikes me more as "general wisdom" (I don't personally agree, but I'm also not a top player) and I think you are just reading too much here. I agree tho that kaemp seems overly defensive in his recent responses.

...

The context of that post was that rob had made a wild move that I still think was not a good play, even as fate egg (I asked for confirmation, as it would make the move have at least some sense). The other reads were indeed a bit colored by rob's opinions (the same way you colored some of mine in my read list, even though I don't trust you 100%).

Just to be clear, I don't have an overall read of rob as neither town nor mafia so far and I still only keep suspicions about Anelle after thinking a bit more (I can share if you want, but it's pretty weak)

makes me think he's trying to decouple himself from an opinion of rob, should he get lynched. As someone who doesn't talk a lot I'd naturally try to, as scum, leave as little information as possible wrt my own teammates and I think scum!andre might do the same

And as I was thinking while I was having lunch my read on rob is wavering a bit because on closer inspection I think mafia Fate Egg -> Otyugh would have done the same. It's not as ludicrous as I first thought considering the amount of poking we've been sticking to the inactives, maybe he wouldn't have been modkilled? Shooting the inactive seems to raise the least eyebrows but I don't think it was as certain that Coffee would been MKed anyway. But dead men tell no tales so who knows.

Slight lean rob scum if andre scum imo, while I'm also queasy to consider lynching rob before I go dive into his posts, based on knowledge of rob's role I kinda prefer that to andre at this moment in time. Fate Egg's kinda a dangerous toolbox in the wrong hands.

rob77dp (3) - Ge0metry v1.2, serprex, shockcannon

dont think they share a primary

If he's town and this is true, I'd pick shock to be more likely to be town - his play is a bit reminiscent of the shock I remember seeing when I filled in for Sub in 72. A kind of play I am beginning to get sick with, but it is a play I can imagine shock doing (sidenote iirc he only has like what 2 games so fuck me if I'm wrong amirite)

Woke up and read the 3 new pages since I left off (but kinda skimmed the newer scumlists). I gotta work for 8 hours now, so no big posts yet (lucky for you?).

I have read all of Annele's posts, and I am not sure what shock is referring to. Link was proud of it, so I'm curious what's happening there. I might be able to connect it to an earlier thing I found.

I do not have the time for quotes, but there was a point in game, where Link suddenly shifted from "these people need more posts" to "good posts" on two people. As I remember, they only posted twice between Link's two stances, and I was not sure why those posts were so relevant. It was about Annele and Calindu.

(This is not about Annele and Calindu, it is more about Link controlling the narrative.)
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...

PRIOR reads list linked

vvv
serp
moe


vv
Spoiler for kae:
- more likely a town perspective to want to use extension and he was first to  bring it up (the wagons at the time he mentions EXT were Sub 3 / timpa 4 - IF one+ of those flip red then no more townlean for instigating...); his mindmeld (or at least best grasping yet of anyone in game...) with how I determined and explained the town mindset of my N0 shot on coffee; his taking a minor exception like this to a very-likely-town (serp) thought on his own thought as more likely a town post than not; I'm still finding TorB wolf-y - =http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-73-by-playeroa/msg1297268/#msg1297268this is unlikely w/w between TorB/kaempfer - note for posterity down the road.

Spoiler for shock:
- THIS POST... if shock is mafia, then he really is just a guy going around doing whatever TF he wants - I struggle to see a world where he would have 3 teammates who would be alright with him posting most of what he has so far (other than "OK, you be you so nobody suspect"). But he is now bandying about about NL being a good idea, shaming the day extension (which is VERY likely pro town as I've mentioned recently), and openly stating that people essentially should not be trying to play the game to play the game (don't be tuned into roles, don't look for reads, and do not read into his posts which would be almost everything town has to go on for figuring out the game state). I have encountered a VERY select few players than can do this as scum and get away with it (not get bussed into oblivion) or have teammates go along with it. No offense to shock, but I am so far removed from finding this a possibility that I now have a fairly strong town lean on shock.
[N.B. - shock made quite the big post while I was creating this whole list... I'm doubling down that the post has so much going "against" it that I find it most believable as being in the category of "oh shock - are you really going with that?"]

Spoiler for MW:
- I don't see a world where MW thinks of trying, actually tries, or still yet pulls off the approach he has to timpa today if they are w/w (both for record, and for point given my developing read on timpa) [here I go!! ...gutread from a feel on how MW flows in the thread as not being wolf!MW would do or be capable of :o - caveat that I don't have lots of background on MW but I have seen his self-deprecate his playing a few times compared to few players trying to correct him??]


v/v-
Spoiler for DC:
v - has a bit of _something_ to look at now... I am on record finding it towny at this point for being early extension voter, DC was this; and he has a reads list -- the descriptions on Annele and Sub have town-type rings to them but he has them in a neutral section (and just says his read on TorB matches his read on Annele - not sure this is quite a reasonable statment, have those two really played so similarly?), his top two scumreads meld well with how I've concluded so far too - townpoints for that. On the whole, I think I'm just not accurately reading the way DC posts in relation to the issues about his "n" reads. Please elaborate when you see this.

Spoiler for Torb:
v- - I had a strong scumread on TorB before. I suppose might have been a case of OMGUS from me... as his posting today comes across strong and I think is a town approach and perspective, that is he posted in a very convicted manner about my N0 action, my follow-up discussion with him, and aspects of my play so far - yet he keeps developing his read on me by reading and looking and has a genuine feel to how he backs me down to a neutral from the looks of it on his own solving. It is a bit odd his reads list quotes a post where he states that 1-posters are the most suspicious but then Ge0 who was a 1-poster gets what I think is a soft allowance to slide to "n" from "scummy" (Note: I read his use of 'suspicious' to mean scummy, which he applies suspicious to the 1-posters... if this is a bad/incorrect characterization of your use of the word then this issue dies down for me) I have to LOL at TorB's portrayal of thinking myself and kae are w/w (other than the obvious for me that I'm not -- he implies that I would ever buddy-buddy so openly in a thread with my teammate if I were scum? May I never sign up again if I would be that blatant about it).


n+/n
Spoiler for kdz:
n - not much "content"... going to try to start reading him based on what he has posted so far though -- I know kdz has been around quite a while, and he strikes me as the type who takes particular exception to letting a person/people down; how I take this right is that I believe his posts about being busy, not time to deep read, birthday, etc. and that town kdz would WANT to do better but only be so capable however a scum kdz might be more MOTIVATED to not let down a team by risking attention for skimping. THis is a VERY thin read, admittedly, but I see him town-side of neutral at the moment.
[N.B. - another one that caught up / posted while I was developing this... no flags on reading his reads quickly through for now; getting late so mayibe I'm glossing over something? But also do find it a bit odd he decides to split out myself+TorB+Link to just decide not to read at all. I can relate I suppose given I'm punting mostly on Link for now too...

Spoiler for Link:
n - have NOT developed this since my last reads. Yes, he has lots of posts since then. I'll be quite frank - a true Link read from me is not going to happen soon. I have a few twinges of "Link might not say that as town/mafia" but at risk of being a broken record I don't think anything he's done so far in a vaccum (that is, limited flip info at this point) is alignment indicative (i.e. - NAI so far for Link --- yet another way, his game so far looks to be within his range of how I've seen him play as town and as scum from both angles).

Spoiler for iancu:
n - playing his vote close to the vest... I recall this being a not-uncommon iancu thing in the past too; read through his posts and nothing much hits me like it has for other players I expand upon more here... going to have to punt diving deeper on iancu at this late hour.

Spoiler for Cal:
n - quite interested to see his reaction/development wrt timpa/Sub as D1 comes closer to ending... also, his push on me persists despite others looking elsewhere quite a bit today, which feels genuine. His reads list flows in way that reads like real solving. Hope to see him come to the thread for more content before deadline...


w
Spoiler for Ge0:
- I still see a lot of his earlier Day 1 activity scummy (detailed in my prior list), but he is also talking about being newer (I remember him Mafia 49 years ago, my first one ever I think?) and feeling a bit out of his element. I do NOT want to be strong-arming him in a way that goes overboard. I believe those posts and take at face value that he feels overwhelmed by the game so far. NOTE: Ge0 is (Ge0, you are) still voting for reasons of misplay and me suspecting other players (former is bad reason and has nothing to do with alignment; latter reads to me like you find it scummy that I'm trying to play the game by solving - I mean, there is a GREAT deal of shade, suspicion, and voting/pushing going on that is not based on concrete evidence... that is a large part of the game of mafia. but you only seem to consider it scummy for ME to do it - why only me?). OK, I kept reading and find in a follow-up post you mention not liking how I was suspecting players nobody else was suspicious of and that I made a non-consensus vote on TorB (Hint: ask around, that is rarely if EVER a scum play or tactic) - howcome you find it scummy, that is what about me pushing around in a manner that feels like I have little to no concrete information is scummy (actually, reading it now that is what town does, limited information, has to push/reach around to find the way they think is right, and then go with what they know or think is likely -- scum tend to have other angles underlying things because they actually have quite a bit of game information others don't, ya know?) Long section I know, but indulge me another one: what better players are you planning to sheep, and what is leading you to believe they are town and hence worth following, if you're town?


ww
Spoiler for Sub:
- no hat eating promises, but I find it very supsect how Sub behaved a bit in the thread during some... ... "threadvelopments" mid-Day 1. His mega-ultra wall post leaves me overwhelmed trying to parse it (and I'm a wall post kind of guy too)... on one hand does town!Sub go so all out for a post that large so littered with mechanics and half-takes (I have read he has that tendency...) or does scum!Sub do so little to try to push the narartive/pressure away from himself if he is a Day 1 wagon?

Spoiler for Annele:
- not seeing anything new today to change my read on her -- (from my prior Annele read)--> the initial approach she took to scumread me for my N0 felt awkwardly aimed at me instead of developing to be about me (italicezed part added now). however, the back-down after some explanations occurred felt a little more genuine. A bit "off" feeling to me that the backdown came so easy after so much shade (as a ratio of her total posts, to those shading me). It does though seem possible this is how she approaches reads, but need to see more to feel better/stronger about reading her play. Reading again, the backdown was a lot quicker than I had expected given the level of shade included in the first push - will have to parse the read on her / timpa if at some point one of them flips wolf as I don't think she puts the 2nd vote on timpa when Sub is leading wagon, that vote DOES possibly hint at w/w with Sub if one half of that duo flips red (just added italic piece)

Spoiler for timpa:
- high level misgivings about his play so far... incongruous read developments as I see it, on TorB/Annele/myself (and for a bit Serp but that has mostly dissolved given thead/claim developments). I have a bit on it [urlhttp://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/elements-mafia-73-by-playeroa/msg1297288/#msg1297288]here a few posts ago[/url].

If you goof off at work to make silly mafia posts I will call your boss to Fire Bolt you.

Posting here just to say I do kinda see it a bit, I think shock's words definitely hold more weight than how Link is trying to make him be.

Will reply to rob when I can but I'll just say that when I was compiling and recounting who said what at the point when I made my readlist TorB and Annele's push on you (wrt to your N0 play) struck most in my memory which is why I may have categorized them in the same bin. Annele hasn't posted much since but I'll go look into the 2 again as well

Shock... dear shock:

1. You describe voting me for infolynch (or what amounts to an infolynch -- you want to get your hands on some kind of juicy info that comes from me flipping either alignment?? Need to lynch SCUM not for info - lynching a scum will give lots of juicy info AND helps town win-con. You want that right? (sometimes tough to be sure with how you post...) There has to be some source somebody knows about that goes into good detail about why/how infolynch is not a good idea. (Hint: check out Link's early game posts for a MafiaUniverse link.)

2. The extension seems quite likely the last 1-2 hours of the Day phase... you are underestimating how much "time" that is for a phase to complete... it seem rather presumptious to think that scum had to be scrambling and since we don't see much of that in thread from timpa you conclude he is likely town. I think Sub was actually in more danger than timpa at the time you're referring to but you don't give Sub the same "probably town because nobody was scrambling to save him" treatment. Can you explain some why? I am guessing you just do not have a large pool of EOD experience from which to have seen real EOD scrambles - that is, we have different definitions of what you're using to read as towny. Yay / nay?

3. What do you  mean it is hard to believe a scum could be / coudl have been / could still be on the chopping block on Day 1? It isn't that uncommon of a result, honestly. I chalk this up to your probably being a bit new to playing mafia, in the grand sense of things.

4. No need to worry or fret about what to do if I flip red. WIFOM, of course, for you, but yeah...

5. About your reads... a) Do you have more to your town-read on timpa than "he was a wagon candidate near fake-EOD1"? b) What are you basing your highest level of suspicion read of kdz on at this point? so far he has mostly AFK'd (self-admittedly even) and his reads post which is easily his most substantive brief as it is didn't drop until AFTER you have him a top suspicious read of yours - I would like to read some about why/how from your perspective.

My take -- I don't want to keep going to this well forever, but as I read shock's post I just don't find it feasible he would do that as scum. Yes, it seems like how regular-shock I know a little bit from the game/forum might approach mafia games, and aligns with how others say he has done as town before and is implying that I do not expect him capable of acting quite this (what word to use? ... ...) blustery and grandiose if he had a team to discuss with and a team he _might_ just might listen to about trying to be less "on the radar". It is quite possible I am tragically underestimating shock... time will tell.

I find a lot in the post to disagree with or counter but in the most shock way possible, I'm keeping the town-read on him through it.
rob77dp (3) - Ge0metry v1.2, serprex, shockcannon
Submachine (2) - Calindu, rob77dp
andretimpa (3) - Linkcat, Annele, DoubleCapitals
kaempfer13 (1) - MasterWalks


I must say I'm curious how rob will flip. We have plenty of interactions of players with him and I am very intrigued by how he went from the vote leader with many non-voters suspecting him to almost no one voting him. Additionally, the more I try to picture scenarios where andretimpa is mafia with different combinations of other mafia members, the more I think he is a guaranteed town. He was extremely close to being lynched, and even voted on Masterwalks who had 0 votes at the time instead of joining the submachine train to even the vote and keep himself alive. Additionally, the extension timer which also would have saved andretimpa was not voted on very quickly and the initial people who voted for an extension comprised mostly of the players who wanted to lynch andretimpa, which doesn't add up to him being the mafia.


I also have a hard time believing that town is good enough or that mafia is bad enough to come so close to losing any member on day 1. Additionally, to entertain TorB's idea that andre, kaempf, and rob are all mafia, it's almost unfathomable to me that 3/4 mafia would be leading votes for lynch on day 1. This could be a possibility if the mafia were voting each other to make it harder to track down all of them should one of them get lynched, yet we see none of these 3 voting on each other and we don't even see any of these 3 voting on the same player. Yet again, another piece of evidence that doesn't add up to the theory. I also have a hard time believing that TorB would be mafia with 3 other members to help guide his play and still present this theory. The most likely outcome of day 1 is a bunch of town accusing each other because of lack of info while the mafia gets to pick and choose where they enter and exit conversation.


Another interesting topic is Linkcat. He was the first to vote for rob and the first to vote for andre. Now that doesn't mean much, but the interactions with rob have been quite interesting, and will need to be explored further if rob flips mafia. Additionally, he has definitely placed himself in a position to control the flow of conversation and kaempfer even pointed this out earlier and called him out as being suspicious, to which he responded in a way that was very inadequate for me personally. Linkcat has also disregarded all my posts as irrelevant. He asks for scum reads and votes, yet when I offer that him, rob, and MW would be the most useful lynch targets for revealing things, this isn't even brought up. If someone else were to say this I can almost guarantee there would be several responses discussing this. Then when I make a post more in line with "proper play and meaningful discussion" and point out a noteworthy action by Annele this is seemingly rewarded as if I should explore this theory more and maybe tunnel on her. The funny thing is, Annele switching votes and making the comments she made is what makes me the most certain that she is town. I'm sure Linkcat will have some response as he always does as to how my arguments are either bad or irrelevant, but this section is mostly for myself, kaempf, and serprex as I believe they will actually listen to me and think about the idea of Linkcat being one of the major mafia suspects right now.



Now I'm going to give a list so everyone has something to work off when trying to read me, because I want people to listen to me when I say that we should figure out votes now and not at the deadline. Town is too prone to make mistakes and be at the mercy of mafia if we wait too long to vote. I wasn't going to vote this phase, but now that it has been extended and with everyone still keen on making a lynch, it's too risky to let this lynch go badly.



Likely town:

serprex
moehrpi
kaempfer13
andretimpa
TheonlyrealBeef
Annele


Unsure, need more time to consider:


Submachine
iancudorinmarian
Ge0metry v1.2
DoubleCapitals


Suspicious:


Linkcat
rob77dp
MasterWalks
Calindu

Currently my strongest scumread / suspicion. Yes, it also  improves the wagon counts for my situation with a few votes.
I'll be trying to follow thread/posts when I wake up, and to be around directly as EOD comes around.

It'll take about 10 hours before I can make a substantial post again, but I would like to invite town to shoot down my scum theories and provide alternative theories. Talking about the probability or other nonsense is a lame defense. The entire defense on my points have been weak so far, so I want to actively invite people to take a shot at my theories and prevent me from tunneling. I could simply be paraboid after all.

@rob
Maybe not, but my point is that kaempfer13 was defending you.

I already shot down your garbage scum reads, which luckily for you, puts you at the top of my innocent list.

You can reread my previous post for why it's almost impossible for andre, kaempf, and rob to all be mafia. As for individuals:

andretimpa - I've already explained why I think the voting has made it obvious that andre is town. There's also way too many people calling out andre right now for somewhat questionable posts but nowhere near enough to warrant the amount of attention he's receiving. You might not see this as a justifiable reason, but for me it's a major red flag that andre has gotten as much negative attention as he has. If andre was mafia, I would expect to see much more attempts by various players to steer conversation in other directions either by disagreeing with comments on andre or simply pushing other players more into focus. If andre was town and made some mistakes causing other town to all suspect him, you would see the mafia allow things to continue developing as they have now. The fact that I'm the only one who thinks andretimpa is town has gotta be a red flag. Either that, or he played terribly, and I suppose there is a small chance that he's just a free mafia lynch for us that we should be jumping on and not letting go. But I have my doubts.

rob - I mean, I think he's mafia. So no issues here. Even if he flips town that vastly improves all our other reads since he's received several votes already and has interacted heavily with almost everyone. Rob should be really be the #1 contender for day 1 lynch. Like imagine lynching andre. If he's mafia great, but if he's not we don't gain a whole lot. Even if rob is town I still think we gain quite a bit.

kaempf - Well I have my own reasons for believing he's town. However, if we delve strictly into his posts, the most important thing he's done so far is start a timer extension vote. Now this can be interpreted three ways in my opinion.

1.) He could be a mafia looking to extend the timer to give more time to deflect votes off another mafia. Submachine and andretimpa were the two at risk during this time. I already explained why I think it's unlikely for andretimpa to be mafia. Submachine + kaempf is a mafia combo I have considered and haven't quite thrown out yet. That's something we could look into.

2.) He's a town who wants to give town more time to discuss, which can be good because it provides more opportunities for mafia to slip up. It also would've prevented a potential last minute swap race that looked highly possible with submachine and andretimpa so close in votes and no one else having basically any. He also hasn't voted on anyone. Additionally, you mention how he defends rob, but personally I think defending someone can actually be a strong town trait. I think mafia members are more likely to deflect and switch focus when their teammate is in danger as opposed to directly defending as kaempf has done.

3.) He's a mafia member who started the time extension vote to gain credibility as a town. Personally, I think he's WAAAAY too much of a noob to pull this off, but I suppose he's got 3 other members to help him. A possibility but I find this third option to be the least likely.


Lastly, you entertain the idea of me being mafia. You then ask MW if he thinks it's likely for both me and kaempf to be mafia to which he responds that it's unlikely. Now, if you assume your 4 scum reads are accurate, then that leaves MW as town. You clearly valued his input somewhat, so then his response contradicts your reads. If you assume MW is mafia then clearly your other 4 scum reads aren't viable anymore. Regardless, trusting other's opinions on the matter conflicts with your own reads and so you have to choose.

And since we're on the topic of MW, this post is a massive red flag for me.
dont think they share a primary
His opinions have changed greatly about me and kaempf and this reads to me like he's being influenced by another chat. It also feels like it's a setup for him to change his opinions/votes later on without repercussion from others.
