Personally I know she is very busy with work, being over-worked. So haven't been concerned as long as she is active. She also hates mafia alignment as much as I do so I think eagerness is a towntell for her. That is why I look forward to when she can give more analysis. Compare this to sumting sumting mafia where she was mafia with a much different tone, and snark.

Is this Bessie?

Or I've been calling Sabrar a dude incorrectly. But they type like a dude.

I do, she should deliver. She said she would have more time over the weekend, so hold her to that.

You mean this?
That doesn't qualify as "calling out", especially when compared to the Sabrar part of the same post:
#27 Sabrar telling us how he plays as scum, classic trick by scum tot hen play differently.
" I'm more often obv!Town when actually Town and just skate by on the sidelines when scum "
And then you never brought that up again, not even when you voted Heury. Why?
Vote Swiss

Somi I presume you're happy to ride or die on HeuryAlone being town, and lynched if he's scum, right?

Since you're trying to derail toDay and force a late wagon, or worse a NoLynch.

Please confirm.

Absolutely not, Heury is my second preference. I'm trying to work out why Sabrar talking about his own scum meta was suspicious enough to be spelled out (and get into a kerfuffle), but not suspicious enough to be even mentioned regarding Heury later. The vote serves mainly as emphasis and an indication of where my mind is. This game isn't majority vote, so I'm troubled by your attempt to create such a strong connection between me and Heury despite my express suspicion of him.

Swiss said that in #115. You 'cleared' me in #32. Get your timelines right.
I'm not saying this post reason I cleared you. Swiss claimed vig on page 1 and then your plan including yeeting him, and then I cleared you. I just used this quote for my point since I ran into it while going through and was lazy too lazy to go to original post d1.

Why does being new cause you to expect votes? Do you expect to be more easily found out by being new? Don't see how a town player would have this mindset.
I expected votes being new because new players are easy day 1 votes and because like its been stated a few times before new players are hard to read which makes them good suspects as well.
Since you reiterated your point involving heury's self-description, could you answer this please? I'm also curious why heury talking about you specifically makes you more suspicious than if it was somebody else.
Anyone would or should ve suspicious if anyone is throwing thier name out there. Why would I not be suspicious of that. And I also mentioned that ran mentioning me and hammering me right at the beginning made me suspicious of him as well so its not just heury. And I already answered that question in my read on heury. Ive found this self assessment true in other games but if no one else who has played with him before has found this to be true even once then I will drop it.

her posting isn't low in volume by bessie standards so if I'm not finding substance there, then some of it's fluff. And while bessie's not above fluff, I thoguht there was a little too much of it here.
Bessie's fluffiness is one of the best things about her.
Does too much fluff equate to scum for you?

I find it interesting that somi is the only xkcd player that doesn't have a town lean on Bessie currently.

This is what you gave as an answer to ranmaru's question which was precisely about why me yeeting Swiss would clear me. So basically you still didn't give an answer but you're pretending like you did.

Don't be willing to just "drop" things if someone disagrees with you. Nothing wrong with standing your ground.
Also, my playstyle in forum mafia will be significantly different than anything you see in an online 5 minute werewolf game. Those games require little to no commitment.

@mod how does my vig shot work, when can I use it?
1. D1 Yeet Swiss
2. N1 Cop bessie
3. D2 Yeet ranmaru
4. N2 Cop bessie

Easy win
Either way, yeeting swiss d1 means town!sabrar, so reading you clear this game.

Pros to lynching me:
Helps clear some players as town
Proves that swiss will likely be irresponsible with vig shot (if real)

Alright I've got a sec between classes, I'll have more time in about an hour and half then I'll be pretty sparse.
I officially approve of this reason for limited activity (but please try to be around toward end of day)!
I'll try, I should be able to be on Saturday night, I'll try my best Sunday morning but I've got to drive 5 hours that day so I don't want to wake up to early.
I feel its gotten better and you are focusing more on clues and answers but especially early game it was all about the quick reads and like sabrar said solve the game in one day.
sniped by ran feels bad man.
I tried to give Tattertot space, and even tried to reconsider his slot, however his reads list and how he has handled replying to questions has made me reconsider that he is still scum. His #151 seems to show that he doesn't mind me trying hard on the third day, but in his #236 there is no mention of me improving in his eyes. Then in his #242 he walks this back saying he did notice me improving, he just didn't mention it to focus on the part of me looking for someone to vote. I think was also a telling connection to LaserGuy is him not mentioning him in his reads list. I also feel he was trying to cut the conversation short in #244. Feels like he has something to hide when he noticed he forgot to include LaserGuy in his reads list. I believe he is scum, and I no longer believe Swiss is scum. I believe Laser is also associated with Tattertot, and vice versa.

Unvote; Vote: Tattertot
I just want to show this quote again to show a connection between Laser and Tattertot. Remember, Somi had said he'd be catching up in the evening yet Laser skips Tatertot in his POE to vote Somi without first letting him catch up.
For me Tattertot's readlist is just more questions. Because like yah, what you brought up here is true and scummy behavior from tattertot, but the guy had like 2 days to make this, so if he was mafia I'd expect it to be a bit more polished? Continuing this train of thought after this next post.
I feel kind of offended that you think I would let Tattertot make so many rookie mistakes if we were mafia together.
I happen to agree with this take by Laserguy. Mala said Laserguy was a great and super helpful partner for him in his first scum game. I think that game was brought up here earlier but I don't remember the name.

Tattertot's readlist doesn't inspire any more confidence in him, and does drop him out of null town, but it just doesn't feel like if he was mafia he'd make that post. Especially not forgetting laserguy if laserguy was his scum partner. I'm ultimately just kind of confused what to think here. I totally get your push for them being connected as there have been things form both sides that are a bit odd. If I can get the time I'll look into it more, but I'm pretty tight on time as of now. I try to stay away from forming teams early on, as I feel that tunnel visions me and makes me easier to be manipulated.
My reads list, is my reads list, which is for your clarity. Don't be lazy
Anyway I am so town so lamist doesn't apply
I just feel its a big disingenuous to bring up being nk'd for your power...that you flaunt I guess.
Good question and one that prompted me to think about my townreads a bit, because that side is usually more gut-feely (especially on D1) and I often have a hard time deciding on an order or justifying it even to myself. It pushes her towards the non-town end because her posting isn't low in volume by bessie standards so if I'm not finding substance there, then some of it's fluff. And while bessie's not above fluff, I thoguht there was a little too much of it here.
thanks for answering. Personally I feel Bessie having a bit of fluff makes me read her more town, as she doesn't appear to have a bias anywhere.
Since you're trying to derail toDay and force a late wagon, or worse a NoLynch.
I'm not sure why at this point its derailing. We still have 2 days ill EoD give or take. Somi came in late, and this is their first real push so I personally find it fine.

Hang on a second, is Heury arguing for their own elimination now? What is this world?
Anyone would or should ve suspicious if anyone is throwing thier name out there. Why would I not be suspicious of that. And I also mentioned that ran mentioning me and hammering me right at the beginning made me suspicious of him as well so its not just heury. And I already answered that question in my read on heury. Ive found this self assessment true in other games but if no one else who has played with him before has found this to be true even once then I will drop it.
Actually, I don't think someone suspecting you is suspicious in itself. The whole point of the game is that town doesn't know anyone else's alignment so there's going to be a lot of town-on-town action (especially on D1). What matters is how people make their conclusions about you or anyone else and if their reasoning makes sense from their point of view (obviously it often won't from yours, you know you're town).
Why am I your second preference? I don't recall seeing it anywhere.
It's in my reads list, I think your arguments for pushing Tattertot aren't great, especially the one about new players being difficult to read. I'm also dubious about how much information we get from the flip of a newbie who's been suspect to most of us (partly because of the aforementioned difficulty).
Bessie's fluffiness is one of the best things about her.
Does too much fluff equate to scum for you?

I find it interesting that somi is the only xkcd player that doesn't have a town lean on Bessie currently.
Ok, guess you actually missed that list, because bessie is still a town lean, just not a strong one. As for fluff, it doesn't equal scum by any stretch of the imagination, it's not even a strong tell or anything, but it's a hint.

Wam Wam I'm voting Swiss at the moment for the record

It's probably just him and Swiss but I want to give Swiss the chance to shoot Heury like he promised. I can't make a case that would satisfy anybody, I have just some impressions that could be wrong because they have history. I promise to do a write-up of thoughts sometime tomorrow.

Deadbananas: Tattertot comes off as cautious. That gives me the most red flags.

This is an interesting take, hope I'll have enough time to go over the reasoning when it comes out. Ran is p town to me rn, reminds me of his play in sumting.

I can definitely see a bit of caution and hedge in his reads list post. For me it's a question of whether that's scum indicative for a new player. I think it's expected for a new player, but I'm open to hear your take on it.

HeuryAlone HeuryAlone since Tattertot has played with you, admittedly in a different form, do you have any meta opinions on his current play?

He is also cautious with how he chooses to interact and answer questions. I think that leans scum for wanting to hide information. Plus he forgot his read on LaserGuy so he promised he would give that today.

To elaborate on Tattertot a bit more. I'd expect mafia cautiousness to be more over analyzing your posts, I think its clear to see he hasn't been doing that. His post volume could be taken as cautiousness, and his tendency to dip out after answering a few questions for about a day or so. He addressed his activity in the beginning though

I am saying that #178 shouldn't have come before your reads list at all. I am saying if it came after, having seen Somi's catch up, it would make more sense as you had time to process and it wouldn't be pre-mature. Giving me the reads list in itself wasn't a problem and I never said that.
As I said, it was in response to what was happening in the thread at the time. Why are you ignoring this? Why did you ignore that I said my vote was primarily a pressure vote?

I find un-fair reads to not actually focus on accuracy. You mentioned lack luster play and I don't think that is enough to justify a scum lean.
How many games have you played with somi? Have you ever seen him play as scum? My meta on somi is pretty good.

Your ongoing defense of somi is noted, however.

This kind of post always feels very townie to me.

That interaction about the laserguy thing was very odd in how he adresses it. It felt, rushed almost. I can definitely see that as trying to get out to seek help from a mafia partner, but that raises the question of where has the mafia partner been the rest of the time and before the post.

I actually generally get to the opposite effect. I see it as mafia pretending to have given up and accept death to throw people off. What makes it feel townie to you?

Correction to earlier post, closer to EoD, or when being a very popular obviously the yeet wagon it appears town, in situations closer to this I get the opposite feel since the yeet is by no means sealed.

LaserGuy: Your reasoning to show that was a pressure vote is weak. I don't believe it was pressure, nor did you need to. Why did you feel the need to pressure him?

My experience is that mafia tend to be more interested in self-preservation and don't often think about reasons their yeet may help Town. If mafia is given up they normally just ghost the thread rather than risk exposing their partners.
