My argument, which I admit wasn't strong, cause hey, mid-day 1, was that the little content you did have time to post was odd to me. Your first set of reads only listed like 1 townread (Banks), and a whole bunch of varying levels of scumreads on people. The mild scumread on me you backpedaled to neutral when I called you out on it. Having a bunch of scumreads early and 1 townread is so not typical of how I play as town, or most people in my experience. Would you say it's typical for you or others in your experience?
I think I mentioned earlier (way earlier) that my playstyle is to call out what I feel is wolf-like moves. Even in games like this, identifying too clearly who I trust is counter-productive to me. If I was a wolf/scum, this is what I want. While sometimes its blatantly obvious if people are working together, often times its infinitely harder to guage who is gaining trust with whom. Killing off the people you trust is wolf neccessity #2, behind killing the cop ASAP. Im not going to codify for them who is best to kill off so they can compare it to everyone else's list. If you trust someone, dont lynch them and go harder for other people if the person you trust is gaining lynch votes.

So I generally look at who is making moves I dont like. Whos play style strikes me as fishing or actively attempting to be under the radar. And who is generally setting off my wolf radar in my gut. Id say making a list of mostly suspicions varying from mild to strong is very much the norm for me.

I'm still definitely not sold on Ratchet as mafia, but if he is, this totally reads to me as "Hey, scumbuddy. I want to vote with you, but I can't justify it based on the suspicion you have and the case you made. Make a better case so I can justify the vote."
Alternatively I tried to draw ire day 1 with a strategy of seeing who would lynch me over a unrelated-to-the-game squabble. Achromatic not only came after me, but came after me HARD on it. He voted early and kept pounding me over and over about it way after he placed the vote.

I wanted achromatic to be a wolf because then him going so hard on day 1 is proof of the system working over here well. But since that point, achromatic has seemed *less* wolfish. I wont go after him if he is actively playing a cleaner game. Even though Id want to, so that I can feel like my day 1 antics worked. I want someone like ratchet to make a strong argument for achromatic...but because I see ratchet as either a wolf or the most self-defensive player ever, i keep applying less weight to what he says and that makes his arugments insufficient to convince me on achromatic. I may want to lynch him personally, I dont see the evidence there to justify it as likely to hit a wolf. And we dont have the numbers to screw around and kill other villagers willy nilly.

could have sworn i voted for ratchet right at the opening of the day. IDK why it says no vote.

I am going to look for other people to vote on. I have some ideas. Also just caught up on the thread. But lets see how it plays out a bit more. For now, Im sticking with voting for the guy actively acusing everyone around him so defensively. I have doubts after reading everything today that a skilled player (which we all supposedly are) would be SO defensive of a wolf, but I'll just leave this vote here to formalize it and probably switch to someone else high on my list once I have a bit of time to repond to posts.

I'm pressuring him for information to see if I like his response no one is doing that. It needs to be done.

Maybe it is hibiki but him I lynched for his not voting a mafia when it counted. and then afking all weekend when there could have been a red check so i think probably not.

Why do I remember zero words from you on road, MSU?

Not saying that you haven't (necessarily) said anything about him -- but whatever it was, it wasn't memorable/noticeable, yet your Vote has changed onto him.

In fact, your posting style IN GENERAL seems to make it difficult to remember your actual, hard stances on most things. That's usually a Scummy indicator.

I think you've said you think the nightkill was clearly SHK, and I feel much less strongly about that. Can you explain further why you thought cue a poor choice? I find cue a very unexpected and surprisingly good choice if the mafia weren't picking up strong enough reads to try and find the cop.
I feel like cue could have a very viable lynch candidate today. His vote/unvote BS also could have thrown into flux ratchet's alignment moreso. Now that we know the last minute flip was town it gives us more EoD information to work with and clarifies the situation for us. Cue was a wily player, true, but I feel as if his antics would have at the very least landed him in trouble, and it keeps the waters muddled.

Is this directed at me?

If so, I think Dorian is a wolf based on him buddying up to Ratchet, his EOD was non existent since his vote was on Smartbomb before anything switched over, and some of his behavior (which I already talked about ad nauseum which you disagreed with me) today.

Road, along with Dorian, are on my top 3 list.

I haven't seen enough from Doc which is why he is not on my top 3 list. I just saw that he voted Ratchet and was going to re-evaluate so I want to see more. I also want to see more from Bhuber.

What are your thoughts on bhuber right now?

not wanting to reevaluate on people doesn't seem like a good way to play mafia in general but meh
I like how he is pitched his defense. It has been very calm and cool. He has addressed his attackers in a very calculated manner. I can see how dangerous he would be to detect if he was scum.

But as I said before, when you don't have the sand running out, you act a bit more rational than when you have 90 minutes to go.

@Riki - right now, you have been defending Ratchet a lot - like, you and I have been talking about this back and forth. Funny enough - not me and Ratchet, me and you.

MSU's take on Ratchet when it comes to his own perception is interesting. He says if Ratchet is town he's probably screwed and is voting for him. I... think I like this given I think Ratchet is town now. Scum rarely put themselves in positions of weakness like that.

Light green for MSU.

Pressure away. But don't say that the votes falling off of me makes me scummy when you're the reason votes fell off of me. If you want to know why no one else joined you before you moved, newsflash - I'm not them, I don't have that information. Ask the people who you wanted to switch to me why they didn't if you still think it's a big issue.

Say cue was still alive. You read him really strongly as town yesterday. Would you have voted him today for his last second antics that didn't count?

I have bhuber as more leaning scum, although he's still on null, as his play is quite ideal as scum - not likely to get lynched with all the bulk of the discussion based on others and not having to put out any information that could hurt himself or his team mates if he is scum. The only reason he is still null is because I fully understand how real life can get in the way here, but I'm not liking his play so far.

Achro and Slendy defended pretty well I think, so they have that in their favour. I wouldn't say it is enough to switch them from one side to another, but it needs to be considered (because otherwise, what is the point in expecting a defense at all).

I want to see Doc's posts after he comes back before getting a better idea, because I don't like how his arguments are essentially "I think you're scum because gut, and I'm going to use that to attack your arguments", so I think the progression he shows will be vital here. He doesn't have a huge amount of time left, however.

I'm not seeing what is suspicious about Dorian, or what people are finding disagreeable. To me, everything he says seems to be on point or at the very least well-reasoned, which is exactly why I have him lean town.

Ultimately, I feel stronger in my town reads, relatively confident in my scum reads (I don't expect all 3 to be scum, but if at least one scum isn't in there I've clearly approached this game from a completely wrong angle and I'd have to start all over again) and my null reads simply do not have enough presence or content to confidently say I lean one way or another with them.

@Doc - Who, besides myself, do you have on your scum list, and who is your town list. Throw your nulls in there while you're at it, actually. I can't be the only person you have a definitive opinion on.

that's probably because you told him that you think he's scummy and you're not trying to reevaluate him
