Here's the stuff unedited. I haven't even gone over it again lol.:
Me and Ryu are 50% likely not to be scum mates together. :D If we had been scum together, his vote wouldn’t have given me protection. On the other hand, let’s keep a wary eye on him. He might have voted me because he was scum mates with Spak and voting for Spak would possibly expose him as Spak’s teammate.
Also, Darkpit went from 95% town to 99% town because Mafia likely all voted for town in this case, and Spak voted for Darkpit. Congrats on the 4% gain Darkpit!
Also wanna keep an eye on Rake. He defended Spak, tried to kill J, and was suspiciously right about my play which might come from knowing alignments beforehand as scum. I don’t think J will be teamed with Rake though, so there’s that. I do think that there’s scum in one of them though, although I want to see them fight some more to get a better sense of their alignment.
Also, Spak’s post complaining about me basically clears me as town because it’s from a clear anti-town Mafia perspective lol.
As for Spak, I realize my playstyle is frustrating, but it’s tailored to suit my strengths. I’ll be the first to admit that my reads are average, the way I form them is biased and horrible, and I’m bad at making connections to nail scummates. On the other hand, my two strengths lie in an awareness of thread sentiment and leading town effectively when necessary. So it’s less of actively trolling the game (which is fun for D1 tho, I’ll admit), but it’s more of playing to my strengths and remaining aware of my weaknesses. It’s why I immediately try to find the alignment of people who are good at forming reads and drawing connections like Maven so they can fill the weaknesses in my play if they’re fellow townies. I by no means played lazily or sloppily. In fact, this was a much tighter D1 for me than usual. I normally throw around a lot more posts, but yeah. I made sure to buddy with Vult amidst my chaos who had a lot of thread pull, gave answers and reads at the right time to stay alive, and slowly teased out who was town to buddy with them. I do apologize if my play unnecessarily frustrated you though.
Also adding this bit in now:
I feel like if this were a normal setup I could've gotten myself out of this situation like I have in almost every other game. I'm usually a lynch candidate D1, but I can get the majority on my side. In this setup, however, it ended up that the fate of a lynch lies wholly in the hands of two people. No johns because I signed up using these rules, but the one person had a misunderstanding of the intent of the person he was trusting; if Ryu had a better understanding of Vult's intent, I might still be alive.
Also, speaking on Moosy's play, I still find it absolutely abhorrent. Everything I said about his play was genuine, and I can't stand playing with someone who trolls all game long and gets away with playing scummy because it's his "playstyle." If someone can play like complete and utter garbage with a fairly solid case against him about dodging valid questions and accusations, then get someone with literally no case against him lynched because person 1's playstyle is to look scummy 24/7, that's just pathetic. If everyone followed Moosy's playstyle demonstrated thus far in this game, scum would win literally every game and there would be no point to playing in the first place.

despite misinterpreting Vult's intent, I'd like to be the first to congratulate you; you lynched scum.
This post basically outs me as town lol. I was afraid Mafia would go for me tonight but I'm glad they didn't. Also kudos to doctor for nailing the right person.
