A New Challenger Approaches [Game Over]

[Juno]

But why would I do that if I were mafia, I would have already known which of the two would flip mafia lol

I still stand by my vote change in the moment - we know he's town now but Aldo was acting pretty weird and I was clearly not the only one who thought that based on last day's discussions. No one really seemed to trust Aldo by the end of the day, I was just the only one who actually acted on it.

 

[gimmepie]

I'm kind of with Juno on that one. Switching to a town vote at the last minute when it would clearly have no impact on he outcome? I'm not sure why a mafia player would do that.

 

[L'Belle]

Those Juno votes are a little easy tbh and not thought out.

 

[Arcaneum]

...definition of wishy-washy being this game right now, whew. Seems everyone is scrabbling at any morsel to get a vote in and L'Belle honestly is the only one I'm not sus of in the recent conversation, whereas with the way the votes have been formulated I'm inclined to say gp/juno and jolt/jd could potentially be a pair of mafia tbh.

 

[jdthebud]

I thought Juno's idea was to switch the vote to try and get a tie, not realizing that the phase was going to end that soon. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though....

So... basically your theory is that either side of that discussion (except L'Belle) is potentially mafia?

 

[5qwerty]

Man, I'm so confused. I wish the other half who didn't post would say something so it doesn't feel like we're grasping at straws. Like, if the outcome ends up being all of the active people are town, then we're really shooting ourselves in the foot.

Gonna go over posts again and summarize what I think. Is it normal to give your reads on day 2?

 

[Syndrome]

Right now I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said. I did find JD's vote on Juno a little weird since SuperJolt had already thrown out a pressure vote, but that's about it. No one is really giving me a hard scum feeling, and I'm most curious about those who've posted little to none so far.

It's normal to give reads at any time! :P

But yeah I kind of need to do the same, will do shortly

 

[Superjolt]

Questions while I'm at it

Yeah I kinda figured, but it just seemed like something that would kinda make sense. The sonic thing having to do with it however does make more sense.

Metroid what do you think about GP and Josh? Who are your scum reads?

That last minute change by Juno is definitely suspicious

##Vote Juno

jd what do you think about 5qwerty, GP and metroid?

But why would I do that if I were mafia, I would have already known which of the two would flip mafia lol

To be fair, odd play doesn't always make someone scum. But anyway, who do you think is mafia? Also pick any player (including me) and ask them a game related question.

Those Juno votes are a little easy tbh and not thought out.

I admit it's not the strongest or most thought out vote, but the responses to it are interesting. What do you think about GP and Syn?

Why not vote for one of me/them, then? What do you think about 5qwerty and Josh?

So... basically your theory is that either side of that discussion (except L'Belle) is potentially mafia?

GP, what do you think about 5qwerty, Josh, jd and metroid?

Syn what do you think about metroid?

 

[gimmepie]

I have a pretty hard town read on qwerty. He's asking questions, trying to analyse things and has been an active contributor. I have a slight scum lean on jd for the piggyback on you to get a weird and illogical vote in - not quite enough to put a vote in just yet but if nothing better comes up, he'll be my go-to. I'm not so sure about Josh and Metroid, calling them null reads for the time being.

 

[L'Belle]

I admit it's not the strongest or most thought out vote, but the responses to it are interesting. What do you think about GP and Syn?

GP seems towny to me, he is actually the first person to question the Juno voters aside from herself and I think that deserves some praise.

Syn I don't really know how to feel about since he is just echoing what other people are saying.

 

[Arcaneum]

So... basically your theory is that either side of that discussion (except L'Belle) is potentially mafia?

Well, it WAS. However reading back through yesterday, you are sticking out to me more. Your unvoting for Lulu when actually I think it was pretty obvious they were Mafia AND on top of how they flipped Maf then Aldo is NK'd.....Aldo the person you put pressure on to reveal more about how they knew Lulu your Maf teammate was Maf.......hm............then Juno gets a bit of heat on her and you seem to gravitate towards that too. Juno was sticking out a bit too because of how you two were interacting when Juno had a bit of heat on her, however looking through again yesterday I think Juno shrugging off the pressure vote to continue voting as wanted anyway shows more of a townie to me.

##Vote gimmepie - your unvoting Lulu and challenging Aldo yesterday to, in my eyes, get more info on role to determine if a NK on him would be good just screams Maf. Opportunities to convince me otherwise are of course .

 

[Syndrome]

Syn what do you think about metroid?

I don't have a hard lean on him either way. He was on the fence about voting for Lulu or Aldo, but ended up not voting at all. With that being said, most of his contributions have been an analysis of flavor text, and I don't think he's done anything suspicious thus far.

 

[metroid711]

Metroid what do you think about GP and Josh? Who are your scum reads?

Josh is Rabinov correct?
(Asking cause I dont exactly know fully the names of everyone here)

And referring to that, I was mostly neutral on GP until Rabinov gave his points. I don't wanna vote them however as I'd like to see how they'd respond first to the claims.

As for scum reads I kinda feel like Juno is the most scummy due to Aldo specifically coming up as good. It doesn't help at the fact that they died just after someone changed a vote to them. They may have been first to act on it, but it didnt exactly help.

Otherwise I dont really feel much else for anyone else since they've either been giving too short posts to work off of or have been giving convincing analysis that makes me feel less suspicious about them like 5qwerty.

 

[5qwerty]

Josh is Rabinov correct?
(Asking cause I dont exactly know fully the names of everyone here)

Josh is Charlie Brown.

My general thoughts:
- GP seems like town to me, though I am a bit wary because I always have this doubt in the back of my mind
- Josh I think is town based on his earlier analysis.
- metroid I don't really have a read. Syn sums up my thoughts pretty well.
- Syn seems town to me, and I echo his sentiments towards those who have not yet posted.
- jd I'm a little suspicious about for jumping on Juno wagon, though he did later provide some sort of justification.
- Rabinov seems a tad suspicious to me, his most recent post regarding gp/juno or jd/jolt mafia groups and also the vote on GP makes it seem like he's kind of desperate for a kill. Of course I could be stupid and this could just be standard play.

My biggest concern are the people who aren't talking. If it turns out that we're all town and the Mafia are the people who aren't talking I'm going to be really mad. Is it standard to lynch uncooperative town?

 

[gimmepie]

Snip

Slight problems here.
1. I know better than to blatantly defend a mafia team mate. There's a reason I'm known for bussing.
2. I was one of the first to vote Lulu and one of the earliest to believe Aldo. It was only after some other people pointed out his posting was a bit weird that I second guessed and pulled back. Because it was weird, he made himself look extremely suspicious which is part of why so many people ended up not voting at all.
3. For Juno to be maf here for her vote switch, he'd have to have had a team who didn't keep her informed and would have to be willing to make a really bad play based on a very small chance of a turn around that just wouldn't be worth it. I like how L'Belle is townie for realising this but apparently it makes me look bad - even though I came to this conclusion before him.

 

[Pecilia]

100% on GP's first point, he'd bus his entire team for a piece of pie.

Initial thoughts on 5qwerty, town. Reason being huge wall of texts on mobile which is normally a good read for me.

I don't have any scum leans or reads really, been busy at work to really do any sort of analysis.

 

[Juno]

Got some time before my weekend starts so I'll just write down some thoughts on everyone who has posted this phase so far. I don't have a detailed analysis for everyone, and I'm mainly just looking at this phase for now but if I have time later I'll try to look back as well and see if opinions change based on how people were acting last phase too.

5qwerty - pretty town read so far, being active, giving reads, contributions to discussion and suggestions generally looks good to me, really don't think I've seen anything that makes me think otherwise so far

gimmepie - I would say the same I did for 5qwerty since I generally like the discussion and contribution, however it's always hard to say with gp since I have played with him quite a bit before and I know he talks a lot regardless of alignment. :P Still, nothing he's said so far really sticks out to me as a red flag

metroid711 - divided on this one; I always find it a bit scummy when people try to over-analyze the day post, because it makes them seem like they are trying to sound helpful without contributing much (but to be fair he gave some reads when pressed by Jolt), however I'm also just getting a newer, inexperienced player vibe and that could explain why he has been sticking to analysing day posts if he is not too confident in his reads

Pecilia - haven't really seen too much, but they did provide a sound suggestion on what to do this phase early on, which reads town to me so far

Superjolt - Little suspicious at first since the vote on me seemed too convenient, especially coming from an experienced player, but as Syn put it, I suppose you can call it a pressure vote to see how I would react. I do like that you're getting people to talk and the discussion is helpful, so that part reads town to me.

jdthebud - scummy for reasons already pointed out, assuming Jolt/jd didn't plan to start a bandwagon, this vote was, again, too convenient and further reads/attempt at discussion were not given

L'Belle - I don't think I've seen enough to really form a read, but town-lean so far with the opinions they have given

Rabinov - "wishy-washy" indeed, I'm not sure I'm liking the vague scum read he first gave this phase

Syndrome - neutral-town read so far, not really sticking out either way with his contributions

People who have not posted yet - obviously I'm just doing this off of memory as I haven't looked back at last phase yet but:

Charlie Brown - had a pretty town read on him last day, I know he's a busy boi so I'm not going to look too much into him being absent here.

EC - can't quite remember but I just know I had a bit of a scum read on him last phase, will have to revisit because that before the Aldo/Lulu reveal

Del - ???

Bidoof FTW - I thought it was uncharacteristic of him to be so quiet since he always used to be quite active whenever I played with him (but to be fair, this was years ago so lmk if that's changed) so I am not sure what to make of this silence

 

[Bidoof FTW]

Tbh just been a busy couple of weeks, didn't even know day one had started x: But here i am!

I don't really like the Juno votes, and I think Rabinov looks towny for his assessment of GP, although it is probably incorrect based on how GP plays, I think that without that context it's good scumhunting. I am pretty sure of Juno being town at this point though, really liking her posts so far.

Metroid and Pecilia are null for me, while Superjolt looks like his usual self so I have absolutely no idea.

I'd say if I had to vote anyone right now it would be JD, but I want to see what else the day has to offer, not really finding anyone to be incredibly suspicious.
