For the second yeah that’s is me making a very tentative read that you have your own thought process for pushing me independent than Caff, maybe? Again it’s a very tentative read
So for the first part, I have like, very minor reads, but it’s mostly just me noticing stuff other people have already said, and I have like, no information about anyone on the player list in regards to how they play so like, I’ve specced you in an org, but not a Mafia where you play as either, if that makes sense.

Duskfall98 you really thought you ate? give me that fucking plate
I’m fine with the just having one person submit, just figured it would be fun since it’s early game but I get it. And I don’t know if you explained it in this thread but what is the benefit to having one person get likely killed, unless you have like an information gathering role.
i feel like my question about Texas wasn't unfounded, it just takes me a while to make my own decisions given the pace of this thread. also getting tagged four times about not being active makes me want to message more
I rather you catch up on the thread then try to force yourself to understand what's currently being posted
I think a handful of people are kinda doing this. I'm mostly sniffing the "don't suspect me" tone of a few of their posts. Funnily enough none of these contain the main reason I voted Vizh.
I'd be happier with either M2H or Celever doing the salad thing btw. Idk which but I'd rather pick someone than have someone pick themselves.
Could you tell us the very minor reads you have on people?
Scum lean. Psy's wall is nice and all but idt it's AI and I think a lot of the reasoning could be improvised after being asked to justify your wagon.
Yeah sure
I think you’re probably town, just because of the apparent analysis of past games
Hal seems like town, and I kinda get the angle shooting thing but not as much the hesitancy to reveal the supposed information
(I didn’t really say this one because I don’t know if that’s like a taboo or something)
and Celever is probably town just by the hunting, but I don’t know, I am predominantly on mobile so it’s a little harder to compare like, messages with relative help provided to the thread, if that makes sense?
then like, Spiderz very soft scum mainly for consistent reads that I don’t seem to be connecting in my mind that seem a little over the place
(Which could likely to just be to inexperience)
the apparent analysis?
Psy's wall is autonomous enough. The reasoning is improvised because I pushed him to do it but its NAI-to-towny I don't see a scum lean conclusion here
Whoops I’m 99% sure it was you, but at the beginning of the thread I was under the impression that M2H and Hal both soft cleared you for not acting how you did in a Scum game a while ago. I’ll go back and try and figure out who it was, but yeah.
I had a scum lean on them, I see the wall as NAI, ergo no change.
If the reasoning was improvised after the vote was placed, why was the vote placed in the first place?
Was there anything else in the Scum lean on Psy or just like, wagon?
I think this is clearly a stream of consciousness which is inherently a little towny, but hal is experienced enough for that to be invalidated. Content-wise:
- Claiming to think that roles weren't randomised is a little asinine considering this is a newbie-friendly, new era of mafia game. There is no universe in which roles aren't randomised because then the game becomes over-centralised around veterans, using hal's own analysis of how Tommy would distribute roles, which is directly alienating to newer players. This feels like a way to elevate importance and profile, and is one of the primary powerwolfing signs.
- Highlighting that in the past there was a meta wherein hal's reads were given a huge sense of importance and legitimacy, in order to then invalidate that in this game, and then to later say he has a 99% accurate read is very inconsistent. Whether this is towny or scummy I'm not sure, but either way he's centralising discussion around himself a little. Before launching into the "should I angleshoot here or not" I would have said this was a way for him to lower his influence so that he can more confidently push bad scumreads due to his prior deligitimisation of his knowledge. With more recent posts it feels townier.
In that sense he might as well reveal his metaread now, IMO.
