I can’t believe I’m 900% confirmed town and I’ve got to deal with asking people to kill rockin d0 in a 50 man game. 2019 is wild.

Kary I think you would understand it better if you read my posts more thoroughly. I have listed a quote below. This is the second time you seem to be missing posts. (First time you missed Uto's post) What's up with that? (Also, the most important factor for me to change my read was the passage of time, and I also wanted to see if Marshy and others would join, etc)I don't understand how you re-read Maven's only post and changed your read completely.
It's a ***** to find these nowadays, especially since Maven isn't in the archive. (Someone should update that) Basically, Maven has a tendency to lurk as mafia, I'm not sure it's commonly known but he does it more so than his town games. (I have misread his town games when he lurked too) After seeing his vote on Marshy, and a reasoning that I couldn't really see, and no follow up, I realized he actually may be scum here, and I thought wagoning him would be of utmost importance. Now in his town game, rarely I see him do this but in this particular one, he was obvious town, and actually finding mafia earlier than anyone else. (A wall post, but a good wall post calling people out) So this is why I'm running him up with only little posts to read him by. If it weren't for his meta, I would not be running him up nor would I pay too much mind to his post, I would still think of him as more of a question mark as I said in my original reads.
Mafia Maven: Gun Mini Game
Mafia Maven: Death Note Mafia
Town Maven: Crossover Mafia
I'm actually null on Nabe because I have seen times where he has done exactly this, as town. Usually when he replaces into slots. Totally fine with him dying as a back burner lynch if he doesn't step up to play this game phase.Ran what do you think of Nabe? Because frankly you are tunneling on Maven right now.
Kary, this is the first time you have actually interacted with me in thread, why is this? Why have you not talked to me until now?I don't know if that's because you're town and you're just being daft, or because you were in the spotlight earlier and you need to push on someone else.
I take back what I said about scum you saying that. I just looked at Civ 5 Mafia and you said *that's bad* but this reflects more of your town game last time I think. I'm sure this is not out of your range though, you out played me as scum last in Civ 5 so I'm keeping my eyes on you. I think part of my problem with you was I didn't really have any idea of where you were looking. Why did you vote Maven with me? I'll re-read JTB and give my conclusion on him later. You said 'in due time' when I asked you to talk to me. So, is it finally time, or what?you literally hav the towniest ppl (besides kevin) in me, frozen, ryker as scum and jtb as top town is top 2 worst reads in the game
you are essentially another member of the scumteam and this is a repeat of last years game where your reads were the worst in the game. amazing how you do not learn, sincerely
First, my scum tell for that one, was based on what I did as scum, you forgot to talk about that. I do think it's more likely if a person isn't stepping up for their town reads as much can be more likely scum than not, since it's easy to omit that and let a lynch go through, keeping their hands clean. It's not contradictory to my town meta. I have already stated that I have had very similar games to this one, including Mafia Sleep Over 3, and Dr. Who Mafia. So, to answer this, it was half meta, and half scum tell that I have found usually works. Question: When you were saying that your read topped off because he wasn't stopping your push, were you thinking it was a possible buddy connection, or more confirmation of me being scum to you in your POV because Marshy saw no reason to defend me, therefore TvS in your eyes?Yea I totally feel like Ran's reread is waaaaaaaaay too dependent on material that just straight up doesn't hold weight man! I really don't feel killing my high like poking every hole possible, but just for a few:
-Your marshy tells are founded on a meta that involves how he deals with you, TvT. This is, like, with the confirmation bias of knowing you were both town after the games were done. You, like, admit to having a slow start, and just to play the meta game, isn't that contradictory to your town meta? Why should marshy read you as town for reasons you base your whole game on: meta?
-You say he's playing on the armchair or like an IC and watching the game go by. Yet you neglect the post where his contributions actively push narratives and develop connections. This is a six day Day. If people wanna watch what's unfolding, let them watch what's unfolding. This is almost the exact same thing we can say about Ryker, but he's doing it more actively. Why does Ryker need to pioneer cases that he isn't passionate about while being passionate about various other contributions in the thread? Just because they're not loud, doesn't mean they're scum, man. We don't live in a freakin vacuum!
-Your FF read is 100% contingent on associations that don't matter yet because we don't have a flip on players that you have paper thin cases on.
-Your Maven read is 100% contingent on meta that doesn't apply because he's not lurking, he's just not playing.
And to answer Macman's question, the worst part about this is that this riddled with examples of you being almost too dumb to be scum moreso than its scumminess. Like, I can't imagine feeling like you need to contrive reads and thinking these are good ones. But I can wifom the mess out of myself into thinking it shouldn't matter, take it for what it is, and what it is is not ****ing scumhunting. It's playwriting. It's a soap opera. And that's really really pathetic because instead of lynching you, everybody is going to think you're too stupid to be scum. Your reads are based on ****ing nothing. It's meta you've framed in your own head, contingent on your vantage point, and associations that you hope exist.
Mac, I got bored of pushing Ran. Doop is a way more interesting push to me and I'd like to see where him vs Pythag vs Rockin goes. If I had to order those three, I'd say Doop >>>>> Rockin > Pythag
tbh it reeks of a distraction wagon with the goal of derailing JTB pressure, ****in narcs might be afoot here
/QUOTE]
That would be because that's what it is.
I'm not sold on a JTB lynch. I knew this one had some weight, so I moved to a something that could be a competitor. I'd have moved to Rockin if I thought three quarters of the cast wouldn't roll their eyes and ignore that wagon unless it had seven votes.
JTB on the **** list. Simple.3. JeXs

6. #HBC | Nabe
7. #HBC | Kary

14. Rockin

All these people can be plays today imo
This one is in response to me, I think.Nah you didnt miss a JTB read, and if you asked for one earlier I missed it so if I did my b
JTB is in my "can die" pile but dont have any kind of strong read. Just skimmed all his posts and like what has he given us? A grand total of two reads, one null and one townlean, and a townlean with hedging language like "I cant believe Im townreading this slot so early?! lolteehee"? Other than that I just see a lot of criticizing other slots and asking halfassed questions. So yeah, this slot can go.
No cropping on this post so that I can show there isn't further explanation other than grimy vibes.So I left on on page 14 and yall have no ****ing idea how happy I was to get to page 20/21 and see people moving to JTB. I get the grimiest ****ing vibe every time I read one of his posts
Jexs still seems to be wayyyy over accommodating and afraid to offend or put anyone off. Which is funny because I remember a post Jex made saying they were reading some slot as town because that slot was unafraid of offending people. Kind of ironic.
For all the people out there scratching their heads over why I moved from Jexs to Maven, it was because I agreed with ryker that we needed to actually have some meaningful wagons. Yeah I had a light scumlean on Jex but it wasn't some crazy ****ing conviction lmao. Maven's slot is in my "can go pile" as is Jex. Jex wagon wasn't getting any traction so my vote was better used elsewhere. I didn't just abandon my belief that Jex was a decent play today.
Really liking Kevin's slight pull pack on his confidence re: Mac town. He had no reason to share those thoughts other than being fully transparent. Like there's no pressure on Mac at all and no one was questioning his townlean on the slot. Kevmo lookin real brownie townie
Ran don't replace out man you're playing fine. Its D1, people are gonna have wildy different reads. I don't know the full context as to why marshy is so frustrated but I think that was just like an off the cuff remark ya know? I mean I followed your reasoning for why you think me/ryker/marshy are scummy but obviously I don't agree with it. But the logic of associating me with them is clear to me based on what you're saying you thought was scummy. So like yeah I mean I agree with marshy I think your reads are pretty off man but it didn't need to be that harsh of a criticism
How quickly are we gonna get an update from mods re: whether or not we can get replacement(s) in quick before deadline? I appreciate maven showing up to formally bow out so we can move along but damn thats frustrating with the clock ticking away and the slot essentially remaining silent.
Unvote: Maven
Vote: JTB
Updated can go pool:
3. JeXs
6. #HBC | Nabe
13. Maven89
16. JTB
Kary and gorf are putting in enough effort and havent really set off any alarm bells for me so they left the pool. JTB just comes off scummier to me every post. Jexs can still go imo, narrowly behind JTB for top scumpick. Mavens slot is obviously a big fat question mark/liability which is lame. Nabe I don't really have a good reason to want gone but I'm essentially trying to signal that I'd be willing to pressure the slot
And derailing JTB wagon is bad and wagoning JTB is good.Just ISO'd pythag to try to figure out whats up with that wagon and frankly idk wtf yall are on. Pythags posts all seem fine to me. Funnily enough, even though I disagree with him, his final line from #778 re: JTB suspicions is exactly how I feel about pythag suspicions lmao "Can someone tell me why they think JTB is scummy? Or at least lynchworthy? Nothing I saw really struck me; I'm not convinced." Like just swap JTB for pythag and that's like verbatim what I was thinking when I saw votes shifting onto pythag
tbh it reeks of a distraction wagon with the goal of derailing JTB pressure, ****in narcs might be afoot here
but seriously if someone has a legitimately good reason to think pythag is a strong scum read I'd love to hear it
but even more seriously people should get on the JTB wagon
and even more more seriously this is legit the most fun but also chill mafia game I've played in in like a long *** time. I'm really like the general tenor of the discourse. obviously playing with the ****in homies is biasing me to the Nth degree but still like this is just a chill af game and I'm likin it
andFF said:JTB is in my "can die" pile but dont have any kind of strong read. Just skimmed all his posts and like what has he given us?

Are the only explanation I have of his JTB stance.FF said:I get the grimiest ****ing vibe every time I read one of his posts
i notice that you have yet to reiterate your concurrent (at least I assume they are because youre still talking about them) case with 0% meta and 0% associative tells. can you go ahead and do that for me?First, my scum tell for that one, was based on what I did as scum, you forgot to talk about that. I do think it's more likely if a person isn't stepping up for their town reads as much can be more likely scum than not, since it's easy to omit that and let a lynch go through, keeping their hands clean. It's not contradictory to my town meta. I have already stated that I have had very similar games to this one, including Mafia Sleep Over 3, and Dr. Who Mafia. So, to answer this, it was half meta, and half scum tell that I have found usually works. Question: When you were saying that your read topped off because he wasn't stopping your push, were you thinking it was a possible buddy connection, or more confirmation of me being scum to you in your POV because Marshy saw no reason to defend me, therefore TvS in your eyes?
Which post was driving connections and pushing narratives? Please link me, help me understand. What I can certainly say, is they are playing differently than what I'd expect from their town games. I feel like I have been initiating things more than them. Fine, maybe loudness doesn't = Town, but would you be surprised that I would be wary due to this?
Fair enough on this point, I did say it was weak and I didn't like that one paragraph, but contingent on my Ryker and Marshy read, which I was more confident in. I did mention it was weak, but I put it all out there because I want people to consider it, today of all days when everyone is present.
I'd have to disagree. He already made an intro post which includes game content.
---
Finally, I thinks it's unfair for you to call my analysis as *all meta*, it was partially meta, but also scum tells as well. I notice you say UP has had more weight with their logic, so I'm wondering what about my logic you feel is faulty. If you feel it's me using too much meta, I'll try my bestest to strip my reads of meta. Also, after Ryker responds to Kary, I'd like for you to compare Kary's analysis of Ryker and my reads, and just your opinion of it.
importantly, its also consistent with how macs approached the game thus far#HBC | Mac has been poking at JTB all day. It seems he's had an itch to scratch with that slot since early on because he thought the Ran wagon was gross and never got the correct response he wanted to scratch it. There's not much explanation of a JTB read from him, but it's obviously something he's been working on all phase.
Notably, JTB has moved from not the play to the play in the last 24 hours.Can go:
Rockin
Nabe
Maven
Would be ok with going:
Pythag
Doop
Not the play:
JeXs
Tom
KevinM
Ranmaru
Marshy
Gorf
Kary
Mac
Ryker
Poyzin
FrozenFlame
JTB
But is a null read. Null reads can stay, it seems (that's fine).I liked some of their posts and thoughts. But I don't particularly feel one way or another about them yet, so they're null to me for now.
if the null is jex, the townlean is doop, "teehee" is poyzin, and the "grand total of two reads" are ran and an early ass marshy read, then yea i think so#HBC | Gorf having just gone through JTB's posts, is that an accurate summary of JTB's reads from the thread at this point?
Quoted to continue my chronicle.During my reread yesterday, I gave more attention to Kary and JTB, as they were 2 slots that I felt I liked some stuff, but had no real impression of whatsoever. I came out of it liking Kary more, and JTB not so much. I don't like that he immediately came to the conclusion that I was attempting to justify a scum read on Poyzin with meta, I don't like how he took issues with you saying a simple no to being called scum.
Then the vote.Vote: JTB
Wanted to let my questions pan out first but I'm onboard this.
I'm currently on page 9 and I don't agree with your Marshy read, Ran. Did you consider that he could merely be reading you wrongly? I concede that I wrongly remembered most of what he has done, in my memory he was actively engaging people and putting out new thoughts and discussions. Most of what he has done at that point was his interaction with Doop. It brings him down to mild town, I can still see him actively trying to read players. I find his reeling me into the game to be a slight town tell and I don't see him asking this to you as scum. It feels genuine to me.
is the reasoning or the way jexs jtb read progressed ehhThen the vote.
JeXs disagrees with JTB on the value of meta and how to approach Ranmaru. Then moves on to not liking JTB for wanting meta with which to evaluate Poyzin.
This is ehhhhhhhhhhhhh. If this was a less popular wagon or a player I thought more likely to be independent, I really wouldn't like this. Especially the last point, but I expect JeXs to be a follower and not a leader (which isn't inherently a bad thing) and I HAVE been railing that people should be on wagons that matter, so it's hard to hold him accountable.
But it's still so ehhhhhhhhhh.
for clarityis it the reasoning or the way jexs jtb read progressed that feels ehh
The reasoning. He's constantly poking around JTB, partly because JTB is constantly poking him and hounding him about the Ran thing.is the reasoning or the way jexs jtb read progressed ehh
pinky promise youll engage me on my doop read when i deep dive on it and you have my supportVote FrozenFlame
This can be a fun wagon for a little while.
Gorf and Ran, if there's more you want me to look at, let me know.
I'm fine with going into Doop, but, full disclosure, I don't hate his opening like a lot of people did. He is very far removed from the old DGames culture and his lawyery attitude matches what I imagine he'd play like even know based on what I knew of him as a person like a decade ago.pinky promise youll engage me on my doop read when i deep dive on it and you have my support
I don't like what he was doing with Ran and myself. It came off as him slinging mud at our slots and attempting to slowly form a scum read on us. He'll tell you he had me as null, but I don't believe that at all. If he had the conclusion that I'm asking for meta with scummy intent, he should have had me as a scum lean, at the very least.The reasoning. He's constantly poking around JTB, partly because JTB is constantly poking him and hounding him about the Ran thing.
The only part I really don't like the progression is the Poyzin meta thing and I guess I don't see the reasoning there either. It's the same thing. I really don't like how that seems to be a major shift (I think it's just additional justification to join a forming wagon) from this slot's ok enough to keep around to can be the play today. It's just so weak I have trouble thinking it should actually effect something.
My memory was fuzzy, I did a reread and corrected what I thought wrongly.That quote with the red, I dislike. That stands out to me, that Jex wanted to slap a town read on Marshy and throw out some bogus explanation for what he was doing. JTB asks Jex what he has done to progress the game, and that in the red seems more like a backpedal.
Cool!I don't like what he was doing with Ran and myself. It came off as him slinging mud at our slots and attempting to slowly form a scum read on us. He'll tell you he had me as null, but I don't believe that at all. If he had the conclusion that I'm asking for meta with scummy intent, he should have had me as a scum lean, at the very least.

well save the talk for when we revisit him.I'm fine with going into Doop, but, full disclosure, I don't hate his opening like a lot of people did. He is very far removed from the old DGames culture and his lawyery attitude matches what I imagine he'd play like even know based on what I knew of him as a person like a decade ago.
However, I do need to revisit my read.
