lynch former hope please elaborate on #726
DurzaOffTopic has been given a second prod for not posting anything within 72 hours.
They will be sent a PM to check their activity.
They will be sent a PM to check their activity.
any sort of posting requirement is even more bs. they are incredibly easy to get around and don't really solve any of the problems - at the very least it forces subs for inactives which is a good thing.
the way we deal with these sort of situations is we lynch them, preferably before it gets down to the point where we really need a maf lynch and LYLO as well
Unfortunately this is the angle we will probably have to take bar host intervention. Obligatory tag to Hawkie Haruno DurzaOffTopic be relevant or get bopped.
Prophylaxis has replaced Hawkie.
We totally need 1 more sub in the event that we need Durza replaced, so please PM me if you are interested/invite people who are!

Hi everyone.
Will be catching up soon, but a summary of what has happened thus far would be nice.
Will be catching up soon, but a summary of what has happened thus far would be nice.
If you think it's naked, Former, check 656. Might not be my strongest read, but flipping one of my scumreads should help me sort out the other two.
still waiting for you to explain how #726 isn't desperate deflection
Ngl, you've played enough you should probably already know why.
But anyways, mafia 101. Scum usually like to take the 3-4th position on wagons because it allows them to propell forward a lynch that isn't them while also not leading it, thus avoiding detection. Especially with their info less post lynches, KOC and Apricity have set themselves up as textbook scum cases here. That said, Earlio and 3pik are also particularly bad since their reasoning is highly fluff, but I guess KOC/Apricity ping me more for their effortless wagoning.
You forget the part of what I typically do day 1, fuck around and provoke and see the reactions that follow. I didn't have a day 1 in this game so I'm subsituting today for that.
You're not being very convincing here, please do a reread if you've missed pages and give us your thoughts+reads list
I'm considering Jordan and will lynch them either before or after you if they don't post and persuade me otherwise
If you are town and we mislynch you, you should still be giving us your reads btw
Going through day 3 and noting stuff I see
I actually do like this post by Texas on the surface. But then taking a 2nd look at it, this reads as weird to me. From what I gather, he was scum reading the blazade slot not just trying to push it for activity. So this sudden switch here is *super* weird to me. Like, if you scum read the slot for what reason would you switch your vote off of it just because of a sub if you actually had a genuine scum read on that slot.
Okay, reread of the day complete so reads anyways
Aubisio - Did they post today? I honestly can't recall, seems more like idling aubisio which isn't really a suprise. - Null
Thetwinmasters - Same as above, can't recall a single post from them - also null
Haruno - Poked his head in at least. But I mean, I also know he's busy in rl so I guess he has an excuse but still I'm with most people in that this slot needs to be active for better reads - ...yet another null
Earlio - Admits to sheeping and sheeps for weird reasons. Lean scum, and like I said before I think if texas is scum Earlio is a good partner for them.
DurzaOffTopic - Will be subbed
Jalmont - I townread honestly. Besides just his position being what I think is anti scum right now, the drama early on feels like it's not something scum would want to do since it attracts a lot of attention. but you really really really need to explain the persuader thing (also disclaimer, I read the drama parts when I wasn't in the game so take that as you will)
Whydon - Townread, if you don't town read this slot then you need to read more carefully.
3P1K - slight town read for the train hopping. Otherwise seems to be inclined to getting info rather than join the bandwagon craze.
Blazade - oh wait that's my slot. I guess I'm not actually playing? Well that makes this awkward
Mithril - Also can't recall seeing anything from them. - null
XnadrojX - Okay, this is a weird slot. People have been saying they think them scum, but frankly, having read today I can't remmeber any of their posts...much less things that ping me. I think for this slot, I'd want to see more activity from them before making an actual read, but going off the posts they've had quoted from other people, nothing honestly struck me as extrodinarily scummy or even anything that would say scum vs newby town. I'd want to see more of them, but frankly, this slot is fairly null (ftr, like I said before, the reason I redirected him wasn't so much because of my own read, but because I was lazy and did a quick scan through of the past few pages to gander at a scum I could redirect in case I died).
Asek - Also needs to post more... wow people weren't kidding this game is filled with idlers, and asek usually isn't one of them so I guess light scumread.
MoodyCloud - Scumread. Their behavior throughout today reads hard to me like a mafia who is trying to pretend to be active, but on the whole has really bad arguments and reasoning and more so, supports things with little substanative reason to do so.
Hawkie - Well just got subbed so null for now.
KnightsofCydonia - Slight scum read, like I said before. Their lynch on me felt like it was very scum driven but I don't have much beyond that on this slot.
apricity - I think I actually genuinely scum read this slot more than just gut scum read. They are similar to moody in that they've had weird af posts. HOWEVER honestly, their weirdness feels too close to moody for them to be scum together and I'm inclined to think that KOC and apricity wouldn't both, as scum, post that way back to back. So scum read, but depending on how KOC/Moody flip I could see it changing (Moody flips town - apricity scum, moody flipping scum - apricity town. KOC flip town - apricity scum, KOC flip scum - apricity town).
Thunder~BALLZ - Needs to be subbed. Hard null.
Why is there no texas on the player list? Probably like blazade they weren't replaced by their sub on the list so oh well.
Bonus round
Texas - Scum read. Like I said before, I feel like in this game scum have taken an active role in misleading village to encourage mislynches and texas's behavior fits right into that. Besides encouraging lynches for extremely, uncharactically, weak reasoning and being wishy washy on them for that weak reasoning. There's his intro reads post that I recall seeing. Now I don't actually remember that post since I wasn't caring when I actually read it...but here's some interesting info.
When MS has been subbing people, he's been doing it in such a way that people know who they are subbing in for before they do it, and they have time before they sub because MS waits for their confirmation before doing it. What this means, is if texas believed he was going to be subbing into a scum slot he had time before he was in the game and learned teammates to go back and get reads that are entirely neutral, after all he would legitimatlly not know who scum are yet he can then join as scum and post that, faking a pro town reads list that in all honesty should be null. Now I respect texas enough as a player to think he could guess when he might be subbing into a scum slot if he was following this game so I see this as a likely scenario that adds further to the texas = scum idea.
Anyways
town: Jalmont, Whydon, 3p1k and maybe maybe maybe haruno?
scum: earlio, moody, KOC, Apricity and texas
idlers/null: everyone else
voting time, amongst those. I feel most confidant honestly between moody/texas though between them, I think moody being scum could clear apricity for me. So lynch moody

Wanting to know why they were targeted isn't the most unusual thing. Though the "OMGUS" that follows is
I don't know what to think of this one honestly. Because frankly that strategy of redirecting someone you are town reading makes no sense. Why would you possibly mess up their action when instead you could mess up the strategy of a possible scum mate by redirecting someone who might be scum to someone else who might be scum, meaning you either mess up a persuade, hook or whatever else the mafia might have (though prized above all, redirecting a kill onto another scum would have been amazing
Some good questions, but feels rather shallow to me. Then backs the idiotic idea of having the persuader claim just so if they are town they can be mislynch bait.
This is a pretty bad post for moody. At least in XX's second quoted post he makes a world of sense, hawkie is the kind of player who very easily earns a town read no matter what his alignment (read: last NOC), well at least the middle bit makes sense. The 1st and last line are mildly confusing out of context but not knowing hte context, they feel more like someone trying to play and not knowing how vs scum.
he says, having been one of the ones lynching after idlers....
more weird af logic but that's not really alig
oh this is where you asked that. ngl I straight up didn't actually read this full post when it was new it seemed so fluff.
Honestly, this post is very nearly a scum slip. The way I'm honestly reading this is that Moody knows the persuader is town and wants them to claim so they can either get a handle on them or they can then cause a mislynch onto them since if a persuader does claim, town has no way of knowing their alignment .... unless you were scum and knew scum didn't have a persuader.
Okay, this is actually a straight up awful post in context. He's responding saying
this post is some how making me = scum crystal clear however I can't even fathom how that would be the case since it's just a post pointing out the massive dissonance in texas's post. Seems like OMGUS at best and just a scum post at worst.
Between these weird votes, at least apricity has prior (even if weak) reasons to do it. KOC here has the strange vote considering their latest read was 'weak scumread' and so without explaining reasoning for
Weird hop on/hop off, but I guess I can see the town in this. I feel like scum would want to commit to the lynch more than hop off early. Plus, the danger there is low I guess. So I see this post as being somewhat towny since it doesn't fir the
iirc 0. Haruno popping his head into here is probably ever so slighly towny since I guess, well honestly that's probably just null. I was going to say it was towny since scum can probably get an idea of what's happening from a scum chat but this level of effort can be so easily faked that it's not really indicative either way.
See, this post is just the worst. He sets it up as being apart of the 'blazade/jordan' theory but then blatantly states here that he doesnt' care a
Similarly, this post comes off as wanting to be town. But in reality, let's face it. Someone who subbed in providing a reads list doesn't help town at all. As town and hell, as someone who has been confirmed to be a redirector I have what I've posted here and if I do end up getting mislynched, there 0 reason why town should follow my uninformed reads.
