SNB already said this but let me "contribute" a bit: why is this self-contradictory? Do you have any futher thoughts about Slaini being scum because of this contradiction?
1.Because his sixth and seventh post makes me think he is self-contradictory.

2.No,he has not enough posts and he seen to be contributing

So,

unvote

I cant think more now,will re-read all the post again and making some note to help me think
Sakura
@Zexion: I don't understand why you unvoted me here: p/4279800 since you could've kept your vote for pressure, if you had a townread on me or smth, then why not move your vote to Navizel at that point considering you also had issues with what he was doing.

@Jess: This post: p/4280276 indicates you read the debate between me and Zexion (and i guess Navi) why didn't you comment on anything that happened and why did you vote Slaini when there was plenty other info to go on?

p/4280488 This post makes me uneasy, lurker warning, has Slaini done anything other than his supposed scumslip that was proved to be... not an actual scumslip but translation error afterwards?

@Slaini: What the heck is with the choice of wording here: p/4280552 It's like "Oh hey im voting you, but you can just take it as a pat on the back!" also p/4280877 Jess never posted (or at least anything significant) between these 2 votes, so what was the point of your vote?, ALSO: You voted "Navi" for replying heh to my vote, what did that make you think of Jess replying ":^) "to your vote

p/4281024 I have a thing with people justifying their actions with "I'm newbie" this is a newbie game, of course there's going to be newbies, you don't need to justify being a newbie, however i hate it when ppl use that fact to justify stuff they do, if you have questions about the game ask or look in the mafiascum wiki, but dont try to justify your actions because "Oh sorry im just newbie", I've already had scum do that to me twice in the past. (Also this is the famous scumslip post lol).

A couple notes about Slaini, seems like people focused too much on Slaini's scumslip than his actual body of work (which is also bad).

p/4281064 Actually looking over this, SNB might be town if Slaini's town, he had open road to join the wagon and didn't.

@Jess: p/4281073 So any original thoughts at all?

p/4281118 I still hold Hika that unlike everyone else, she spotted a scumslip and voted it immediately, so her actions match her words.

On the subject of Zexion: p/4281118 This post is really odd Doesn't want to vote Navi because possible L-1, yet Navi wasn't in danger of L-1 Back then, then votes Navi later when Navi's at L-2. And the only thing he ever says to Slaini is "Hi welcome, go here to learn how to play" Looking at it from another angle this post only talks about Navi's response to suspicion, who he was already suspecting anyway. Hika's post about him. And Slaini's scumslip. I'm pretty sure there's more stuff to comment on so I don't get why this post didn't comment on anything else.

p/4281227 <- Trying to call out Navizel of Beetlejuicing when he wasn't doing as such.

p/4281253 <- Ignored Navizel's reply to his accusation completely.

@Hika: p/4281268 In fact, it's the total opposite, if people are in RVS, the treshold for what they consider scummy enough to vote is lower, because information's what needed, not abstaining from voting which gives 0 information and causes 0 reactions.

p/4281319 This (Slaini's, osu's being weird) and the next post are really awkward. And of course, Slaini completely ignoring Navi who he's scumreading... AGAIN.

.
.

Ah fuck this! i give up, I keep getting lazy, most of the stuff im noticing is the same stuff i had noticed before, the only new stuff i noticed is about Slaini.

I get what Drezi says about Hika, although would you mind explaining your townread of me please, i don't get how i could've done anything that could've caused said townread. I do agree that my early posts were weak, but that's because i was mostly teaching + playing + interacting with Zexion, which ended up in them coming up with a lot of words, and i also agree that anyone townreading me on my early posts should be scrutinized.

In fact... Anyone townreading me, please explain why, because i don't think i've done anything near enough to warrant such a strong townread, most of the stuff i've said is null to me.

PEdit: Oh yeah... navizel's right i forgot that scum roleblocker could just block him... derp. I blame me just waking up when i wrote that XD
Sakura
Either way, we're not lynching Navizel today, i want to make that clear.

Vote: Slaini
Not related to the scumslip, read my previous wall to find out why.
Sakura

-[Jess]- wrote:

Yeah keeping notes on a spreadsheet or notepad can help a lot.
Also what part of Slaini has been "contributing"?
Hika
Don't assume without asking. Sakura doesn't have my town read because of the dialogue earlier on, but based off of the way she is picking up scum, I can completely agree with that. Confirmed doesn't apply for everyone, it only applies it onto my list. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being completely town, 5 being completely null and 10 being completely scummy, I'd put Sakura at about a 3. Drezi, based on your reaction to my vote, I can bump you up to a 2. That is what I wanted.
Hika
Fishing for scum* as I should have said rather than picking up scum that sounds weird
Zexion

Hika wrote:

Hi guys! Finally back home from work o/
Also Zexion, any questions for me? Just wondering.

Static Noise Bird wrote:

@Hika, what is your exact stance on Zexion
My stance at the moment? Zexion is null-leaning scum, but as I've mentioned before, I am not familiar with his play style etcetcetc because he plays as if he doesn't know a lot. But that's okay. Him being novice is what's keeping him null.

*waits for OMGUS*

Zexion wrote:

To be honest, I don't really feel Hika being scum. Maybe its just their playstyle that bothers me and what brought up the entire discussion. (i.e. not really submiting your ideas). A total null for now.


Well do you have any specific questions? Be very specific so I can satisfy your curiosity.

Zexion wrote:

The reason why I asked the unvote was because of Drezi's "no oops later" that I thought was directed towards me, then I realized it was a general warning to everyone about the hammer vote being next. I am pretty surprised you think Hika's points are good, and even more that those help you scumreading me, most of them were misunderstandings from both parts, hardly something to tell I am scum.
Of course you won't like anything I say, it is going against your knowledge about your role. Until you post a little more, I will just label you as null-leaning scum. It's not bad, I won't put my vote on you because I don't think you're scummy, but so far, Navi does not receive my vote just yet until I see more play from him. I say give it 24-48 hours.

ok, my opinion still stands.

SNB, may I have your reads please? You are null to me.
Fine by me, tho honestly I don't really mind since I think your game style is being provocative, like if you're trying for me to get angry and then put all the suspicion on me. Glad you waited on me posting before voting me.

I may have some questions but I'll keep them until later. Does that sound familiar?

Hika wrote:

I'll be sure to hunt the scum off your wagon if that becomes the case here.
So you're confirming Navizel as town here? Or atleast it shows you do care about him yet you don't know if he's lying or not. Besides the way you worded it becomes highly convenient for you to discard a connection between you both in case he flips scum. But then again you both on the same team... unlikely.

Hika wrote:

I don't care Drezi, that CANNOT be my concern, at least not now.
WTF, you cannot concern yourself about a vote coming towards you? How you can evade an indirect question this way?

So you did evade that question and made a hasty vote (no other word could describe it better) just to reaction test Drezi? Yeah right, now every move that seems suspicious for other people I'll call it a reaction test.

Zexion wrote:

Vote: Navizel

I got tired of waiting.
this vote really sucks. You even mentioned that we should abstain from voting randomly. Your vote isn't random but it's being impatient and it's not townlike.
P.S I won't be here during afternoon cause of my grad. I'll probably be back by night.

Sakura wrote:

Also i think Navi's at L-1 now, might be L-2, but i'll say L-1 just to be safe. Be careful with the next vote.
Hmmm. I don't get the be careful part. You mentioned that I should be lynched with fire because I am scum right? If you're so sure that I am scum why would they be careful on voting a scum?

Zexion wrote:

Want me to unvote?
Why would you ask someone if you should unvote
I did read your post about the graduation (congratz btw) my reason to vote you here was not actually for the time, but for what Sakura said about you (acussing me of something then doing it yourself), that's what made me vote.

I already explained the second thing, Drezi "no oops" and stuff.

Navizel wrote:

It feels like you want to shift the attention to others so the heat won't be on you.
Sounds really familiar. Interesting you would make that connection, since I was justifying my surprise for Sakura's agreeing at Hika. Heat wasn't "on me" when I started saying this, you know.

Also your claim is suspicious. At first I payed it no attention because you were using, IMO, as an example for Slaini but yet it can be true. That enough warrants a day or more. I have many ideas about this, but they will have to wait until tomorrow.

Unvote

We had reached a conclusion over the initial problem, I was preparing to shift my vote to someone else but no one apeared at that moment.

I think you're refering to p/4281219. I'm pretty sure Navi was L-2 at that moment, and wanted to avoid L-1 because... yeah I said it. On the Slaini stuff, I was looking at the possible language mistake (or "bad choice of wording") for a non-native English Speaker. What else do you wanted me to say?
Hika
Did you know I voted for you or did you purposely not want to say anything of it?
Sakura
It seems like im going to HAVE to finish that re-read wont i @_@

@Hika and Zexion since you guys seem to be around: What do you think about what i said about Slaini.

Just wanted to make clear, that I want to take a look at how the game rolls before making unuseful contributes. Still, I have to admit, that this might be an excusing for lurking, too.

I just got told (p/4280507) that it is totally okay to vote people randomly in the beginning. That's why I decided to vote someone and I just stated, that I'm not mad, due to her voting me. So it was merely a random vote, which I didn't want to have any special background.
That ":^)" was just like an "Yes, I know, it's okay" for me. At that point I read through all posts and decided, that I think Navi is more suspicious, so that I'd rather vote him instead, which I did afterwards. So my unvote had nothing to do with Jess doing something, but instead with Navi doing something, in this case avoiding conversation.

Indeed, I did ignore it, rather because I knew, at this point, that he is right with what he said. When you posted that his answer to that is no excusion, I felt confirmed in my accusation. So I just let you answer to that, instead of me.

Don't know what's awkward about it. Also I don't know which second post you are talking about? You mean the one where he explained that werewolf is the same? I just thought that this is offtopic and not allowed to win the overhand here.




If that's the time to give my thoughts:

Town:
Sakura (The way she is ready to analyze everyone and being ready to shift her vote makes me pretty comfortable about her)

Null-townish:
Zexion (The only thing that does make me think about him is, that he just accepted my potential scumslip)
SNB (Can't explain it that much, it's just a feel there )
Null:
-[Jess]-
AceTiming

Null-scummish:
Hika (The way you just voted Zexion for scum, while he didn't give any reasoning for it makes me doubt )

Pretty Scummish:
Navizel ( Though you might've been right about yourself not having time to post (Congratz for Exams :) ) it still bothers me )

@Sakura, I keep your "don't vote Navizel" in mind, but I'll let my vote stay like this, until I find someone who seems to be even scummier
Sakura
I'm just gonna explain beetlejuicing since im having lunch soon:

Beetlejuice tell, well if you ever watched Beetlejuice you'd get the picture, is basically when a player appears as soon as he's getting mentioned (call his name 3 times :) ) Either way, you're accusing Navizel of only appearing when you attacked him, which is similar to what i mentioned, but this would only be true if Navizel had been gone for a while, which wasn't true.

I'll be back after lunch.
Hika

Ah thanks for explaining, now I understand it.


It's more that I felt like he wasn't replying to your accusions on him (except that "heh"), but as soon as I voted for him, he started accusing me, despite you and Drezi have voted for him. The whole time he didn't give any statement on you two's accusations (I don't think he did until now[?]).

Or did you mean something different?

You didn't upset me, but it is a scum tactic i'm aware of and i'm stating that i won't be taken by any "Sorry im just newbie i dont know what im doing" or similar excuses.

I can agree with the former being town, but how did you get that feeling from my posts? as for the 2nd, how is that a reason to townread me? Even disregarding the meta that i shift votes a lot (which you wouldn't have any way of knowing), people normally tend to see vote hopping as scummy.

I can accept this explanation, however i still don't see you actually scumhunting outside of your debate with Navi, and your reasoning for suspecting Hika's similar to what Drezi brought up, so it feels like you could be scum just trying to follow the town.
Drezi

Hika wrote:

No.

I'm glad you're happy with my reaction but I can't say the same, I think Hika could use some more votes :^)

@Sakura My townread is because I liked what you were doing (like @Zexion, Unvote on Navi), and of course you could do that as scum aswell, but objectively everything one does could be done by scum aswell, so in the end I just have to draw the line somewhere and make up my mind.

@slaini you did not include me on your reads list, any particular reason?

I'm not so sure about Zexion now, what he's saying makes sense but I'd really like him to come forward with stuff himself, he's mainly just replying to stuff directed at him..?
sLaiNi

Sakura wrote:

To actually vote for them to get lynched? Might not be the smartest way, but I see it'll be better to vote who you aren't sure about.

So as question: Would you say it's smarter to not vote who you think is 100% scum, but instead vote someone who you aren't sure about, yet, to see their reactions?



Sakura wrote:

Wait what?
I accused him of not answering intentionally, which he denied with the reasoning, that he was absent and not online. I realised that this was true, so I gave up on that. But then you said, that this would not be an excuse, as he can't prove it. That's the same thing I was thinking, so I just didn't answer anymore.


Sakura wrote:

That's so right. That is something I should definitly change. But that has nothing to do with me being scum, but rather with me not wanting to annoy you with bad contributions. What I want to say is, that I am indeed concerned about how people look at me, but depending on my actual person (me, who is playing this game) not the inGame character, which might be a scum and therefor might be an enemy (if you understand what I want to say there).

If that's the time to give my thoughts:

You changed your suspected persons alot and there's nearly noone who you haven't analysed now. That's what I am relying on.

Sakura wrote:

What do you mean by "just accepted".
Everyone is sceptical until now about that potential scumslip. It's like he knew for sure that it's impossible for me to be a scum. Still, I remember him writing one time that it "keeps bothering" him.

Noone else followed Drezi, instead, everyone else is null-towning Hika. Wouldn't I have gone better with null-towning Hika, too, instead of going with the oppinion of Drezi, whose oppinion isn't the one of the other town members?

You sure? I've been directing some questions towards Hika regarding his/her (can someone tell me what to use) attitude, but Hika just seems to be evading whatever questions I make and now Hika is simply not in the mood for mafia. At the time of my last post I was just replying what had been directed to me and stuff. AFAIK, I am doing something.

Vote: Hika
sLaiNi
Just as a question. In the Wiki Zexion gave me (Thank you so much for recommending reading there [even though it being in the starting post] it helps alot) there is a hint to use a function to only show the posts of a single person. I guess this was related to their forum. Do osu! - forums have a functionality like that, so I can only view the posts of a single person?

So as question: Would you say it's smarter to not vote who you think is 100% scum, but instead vote someone who you aren't sure about, yet, to see their reactions?
I don't even know where to begin pointing out the problems in this text.
First of all, that's not what I said, 2nd of all, that's not what you did.
But ok, let's assume that it's just miscommunication due to different languages and what not, i'm just gonna quote mastin (yes again), one of the people that's made a lot of guides for players here:
Mastin's words of wisdom
It’s well-known knowledge that the average scum ratio is 20-33%. If you think a player is more likely than that to be scum, you vote them. And trust me…if you have nobody you think is more likely to be scum—even if it’s by a fraction of a percent—then you’re probably not fit to be playing mafia at all, yet. Sure, some players might work by process of elimination, preferring to town-hunt. But even through town-hunting, you eliminate a section of the town from your possibilities to vote. That narrows down the pool, increasing your chances of hitting scum from 20-33% to a far greater number.

For example, if you have twelve players alive and three scum, that’s 25%. Eliminate yourself, and that’s 3/11, 27%. If you determine someone else is town, that’s 3/10, making everyone else 30% likely to be scum. Add in a third name to the town reads, and you’re at 3/9, 33%. You can get two or three town reads (besides yourself) fairly easily. With that third, you’re now at 3/8, a whopping 37.5%--a full 17.5% improvement over your original odds. That’s worthy of voting, any of your remaining suspects, really. Even if you don’t have a clue who among the remaining eight is scum, you still have a far more decent chance of hitting scum than when it was 12 (okay, 11 minus self) players. So, throw the remaining eight in an RNG, for all I care; you need to vote one of them, even if you have no clue who among them is scum, simply due to how likely it is one of them is scum.

“But Mastin! What if it’s too early in the game to be making a call like that?” People form opinions even in the RVS and RQS. There’s content in there to read. And I honestly believe in every playerslot’s first two to three posts, you have enough to theoretically determine all the scum in the game. It may not become evident until far later than the first 2-5 pages which those posts are in, but still, you can form opinions early on. And here’s news for you cautious players:

It doesn’t matter if you’re wrong. You can always change your opinion later, and your vote with it. Simply put, there is no excuse not to vote. Not because you townhunt better than you scumhunt. Not because you are a cautious player. Not because you’re indecisive; flip a coin if ya need to.

Okay? Should I specify that I have personal problems that restrict me from wanting to play mafia right now?
I don't think I should have to say that.

I'm thinking about looking for a replacement. If not, I'll answer all questions I have received.

Playstyle this game so far of both Slaini and Zexion has been fully reactive and the only person they've both scumhunted is Navizel, who turned out to be a PR.
Theory: Slaini and Zexion are in a scumteam and Zexion's the mastermind. And their designated mislynch was Navizel, who... SURPRISE!, is the person Zexion kept calling my attention to when i was arguing with him early game.

At this point i'd feel comfortable voting for either of the 2.

Sakura dear, you're giving me too much credit. Also its a pretty serious accusation that could severly damage town.

First of all, what evil plan could I have crafted? "Pretend you're newb and everything will go okay", "don't scumhunt at all". I mentioned Navizel early in game because you asked me for an active play (can't believe you still think I'm only being reactive).

Besides, what other player could I have talked about in the early game? Let's go back:

SNB: 1 RV Post.
Drezi: 1 Post, the list.
Sakura: Posting a lot
Navizel: Agreeing in every stance with you. (Like 3 posts or so)
Me

So tell me, from which other player could I have scumhunted? Or accused?

What you bolded about Slaini's post is his opinion, and I had nothing to do with that. You're just taking the first thing you can in order to come back to me to paint me as scum, which you have done about... three times now?

Post V/LA then. We can't read your mind and know what's happening in your real life. If there's something wrong that doesn't let you play, just say you can't because IRL Issues and we'll all understand that. Its better that saying "I'm not in the mood of answering questions".
Sakura
I don't know why you think im accusing YOU of the bolded, but the only players that know the alignment of others are scum (as of right now at least), So Slaini putting you as null town while saying you know for certain he's town is not supposed to raise any flags for me?.

Re: PR. If you're both scum, then that means Navi's town so I assume he's telling the truth (in what world would i know he's a PR or not even if i were scum? it's not like i'm a day rolecop).

Except that's not what you did, i kept arguing you and you kept saying "Why are you not looking at this thing here Navizel's doing" or "Look at what Navizel's doing!" like trying to shift my attention from you onto Navizel (And it worked!). It's not about what other player you could have accused, but about the fact that you kept trying to shift my attention to Navizel's posts.
Sakura
Actually i just went through your ISO and noticed you only looked at Navizel because I asked you to... I remembered things wrong oops.

Ah well, Slaini's still scum tho.

I seriously don't like the way you word things here.

On another note, I looked at Slaini's ISO and I'm still doubting his reason for the scumslip. His first reason was he used a subjunctive mood to express his thoughts. He didn't mention the language error until Zexion mentioned it. I'm just not convinced even let's say it's a newbie mistake.

To actually vote for them to get lynched? Might not be the smartest way, but I see it'll be better to vote who you aren't sure about.

So as question: Would you say it's smarter to not vote who you think is 100% scum, but instead vote someone who you aren't sure about, yet, to see their reactions?
Bruh.

You asked for reasonings about the townreads on you and the posts like this are exactly the reason. Well reasoned descriptive posts that have potential to turn out true.

Also reflecting the note after my reads' list, this could be what I thought of there, too. Jess seems more like a careful newbie, Ace is someone who I still obviously can't get much of an opinion on, so that would leave the potential scumteam to Slaini and Zexion.

It might be directed at me, but I don't know how do I look to be desperate to keep you alive. Zexion looks desperate to rolefish on the other hand. As with Sakura, no, I'm not a day rolecop.

Neither of you. It was directed towards Sakura: her believing so much in Navizel's claim despite how shady it was, I actually agree with SNB in this post.

So yeah SNB I didn't actualy ask you anything. Sorry if that seemed confusing.

You don't get the idea here. Sakura is saying that I was only directing her attention towards Navizel, but what else could have I done? Obviously I wouldn't make baseless acusations on someone, which is way I could only point stuff at Navizel this early in game. Or at least that's what I tried to tell.

Quality content here.

When I have ever deflected a question?

"Acussing people of simply ignoring acusations". And do you think ignoring acusations is actually something good?

Your vote just proves that you're not even trying to get into the game and you just hop in the current wagon. It's not our fault you arrived late, you know.

It's pretty late right now so I'm off to sleep, I really hope I don't get lol-lynched because of misunderstandings.

I'm probably horribly wrong on my reads.

While you seem to completely ignore Hika, and how she game me an almost perfect town score out of NOTHING after I voted her, pulling this "good, good all according to my scumhunting masterplan" why of course, I mean seriously now, it's the most blatant buddying I've seen.

Also

Sakura wrote:

https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/p/4281118 I still hold Hika that unlike everyone else, she spotted a scumslip and voted it immediately, so her actions match her words.
What the hell, obviously she's going to vote if there's a scumslip, isn't "word's match her actions" it's the most natural thing in this case not a feat to highlight??

As for that said she claimed she wouldn't vote Zexion and would wait for him to post more, and then an hour later just voted him anyway, which looked rather opportunistic to me, given that the Navi wagon just started to fall apart.

So yeah, I don't think your Sliani vote is bad overall, but I'm surprised that you think it's the strongest angle you can push here..
Drezi
And now when all else fails let's push a lurker? Duh.
Sakura
Yeah, Drezi that's the point, it's the most natural thing... everyone else was screaming "SCUMSLIP" yet never voted Slaini.
Tbh i haven't read everyone's posts in depth, like Hika's or SNB's, and Hika's posts are quite long and i get tired everytime i try to read them @_@
Can you give me a concise bullet point reasons of why you think she's scum? Something like.

- She's saying this, while actually it happened like this.
- She's doing this, but she said this.
- The way she did this, shows that she's scum, because X.

Short and easy to understand.

If we really wanna hand out town or scumpoints here (which I think is rather weak anyway) then you could say that scum is most desperate to start a wagon with a legit reason, others didn't rush it)

I think I outlined my reasons already? Unless you expect a page long case study day1 to place a vote when it comes to Hika?
Sakura
I think i'm mostly tired.
I tried to re-read this morning and pretty much got lazy when the Hika vs Zexion debate started, then i was pretty sure Slaini was scum, then after checking the wagons i ended up with way too many reasons to vote almost everyone, and i realized i was going wrong somewhere, so i went with the one that weirded me out the most, which was Ace voting Zexion while parroting SNB, then you come to convince me to re-analyze Hika, and im too tired right now, so i decided to sheep you.

And now i realize that Zexion's also voting Hika..
I don't even know what to do anymore.

It's not exactly like that. It's rather that I said, that he acted LIKE he knew for sure that I was town. That was the reason I didn't put him full-town instead.

Exactly, as i thought you were talking about my reads.

But yes, it just is not understandable for Ace to put me as town, despite the fact that the discussion is going the over way around. Also his Vote on Zexion is pretty much just parroting.

Just a note to you guys, I'm not making a random read here, I'm not an idiot. I maybe a newbie, but I'm intelligent enough to read the ISOs. Please don't assume I'm an idiot stuck in RVS. There's a reason that Slaini is the only one in my townlist, and there is also a reason why I don't feel the need to elaborate. Does making sudden reads make you scum? Is this how the game is played? Do scum always act irrational and unpredictably? No. Do you know why? Because of the nature of their win condition. Scum are the ones who play the game the most carefully, because they are the one's most in danger. So please guys don't just go "hurr durr read didn't make sense he's scum".

However, the reason i presented those quotes was different it's not "no they dont make sense" it's "the fact that they dont go with your actions".
Also ftr i've been awake for a while and reading, but i wanted to get more people to comment on my post as a reaction test of sorts, i fully intended to explain it as soon as i woke up, however, when i saw slaini's comment on my post i decided to run it as some sort of reaction test, but more on that later first...

In Ace's reads list he only has Slaini as town, the rest as null, while your vote has been on SNB then to Zexion. "But Sakura why is this a problem?", tell me, why would you even move your vote from a nullread to a nullread?, 2 reasons, 1 you townread the person you're currently voting, 2, you scumread the person you switched your vote onto.

From Ace's post, you would think he'd be scumreading Zexion, however, Zexion doesn't appear anywhere as scum, "But Zexion could still be a null read Sakura!" Then why move the vote off SNB?, one would think because SNB became a townread.... which SUPRISE! it's also absent from his town list.

Then also: Slaini's reply to "So she's probably saying that i'm scum!" makes me think he's self-conscious if he thinks that would involve him as a scumspect. I mean really, why would i even bother quoting Ace's unvote and vote if it was just about him putting Slaini as a townread?.

Anyway, as I was saying earlier, Ace just says "This is my idea of how a town and scum play would differ" So if he's scum he knows that's how a town would play and can perfectly fake it, just as anyone that's self-aware of their own town and scum meta. Making his whole "ERMAGAWD GUYS LOOK IM DOING THIS TOWNIE THINGS BECAUSE SCUM WOULD PLAY LIKE THIS INSTEAD" entirely null.

You're very close to my true intentions, but you're off a bit. Here's a little hint. My vote on Slaini wasn't a townread, but it also wasn't a scum read. I didn't pick Slaini arbitrarily, but it didn't have to be him. Have fun ;)
Sakura
So basically your post tells us nothing... just a bunch of WIFOM.
Ace Timing
I've also been wondering something for a little while now, why would me putting Slaini in my "townread" put me and him as a team of scum?
This question is particularly aimed towards you SNB.
Drezi
Ace it's good and all if it makes sense in your head, but your not playing your own game, you need to show some results and tell us about some of your conclusions eventually, otherwise we don't really have much to work with regarding you. Because even if your intentions are good, we have no way to tell, and no reason to trust you based on you only telling us to chill out and that you know what you're doing.
Zexion

And now i realize that Zexion's also voting Hika..
I don't even know what to do anymore.
Why is this a surprise? Heck, I explained this posts ago and I think my reason was at least valid.

Also people are not townreading me because of my wording, yeah I think I'm a little too harsh with words sometimes but... I think that's the way I play. :(

I don't know why you think im accusing YOU of the bolded, but the only players that know the alignment of others are scum (as of right now at least), So Slaini putting you as null town while saying you know for certain he's town is not supposed to raise any flags for me?.
It's not exactly like that. It's rather that I said, that he acted LIKE he knew for sure that I was town. That was the reason I didn't put him full-town instead.
Huh? I don't even remember me claiming you were town. For the Nth time, it was the way you worded your "scumsplip" that caught my attention and I thought it could have been some words making sense in german but being suspicious in english. Please don't make me repeat this again.

I meant the :!: for the goodnight post, I guess you're being polite but it can be seen as trying to get on Sakura's good side since she scumread you.
Just to add a litltle off-game thing here, we're not exactly a happy family in this game, its like we suspect each other so its not exactly the place to build friendships. Of course, what happens in mafia stays in mafia so outside its all good ^_^

I don't really like Ace Timing's post. He didn't even explain his reads. Why is Slaini town and Zexion null?
This was already asked at that time. Why are you repeating questions? Ace didn't post since the list until now so its not like he was evading the question or something.

Oh you. You think you're some sort of quizmaster and we have to discover your thoughts to win a prize? Your post is basically useless as you don't feel like explaining the reasoning behind your actions. Doing so only hurts town because we are unable to view things like you do and draw new conclussions. Also no one is saying you're an idiot or something like that (let's not get offensive) but rather, how your actions doesn't seem to fit at this stage of the game.

Also "Have fun"... really?

If your playstyle is basically the same as Hika (i.e. "I am developing my scumhunt plan but for the moment I'll keep it to myself") that will just bring you trouble. Just sayin'.

Oh wait, in fact, it's the same. We can wait until Hika says a bit more.

Unvote

I did something similar in my first game (I was a town doc) and I ended up having SNB think I'm scum, because I did not consider that even though what I'm doing makes sense to me, the others have no way to tell that I'm doing it for town purposes and it's not scum doing their scumstuff.
