Which is why it's a shit defense. I always call it out if they seem to go unnoticed.

Not going to police your reads, but Fire wasn't very convincing day start.

Reading through everything, biggest standout would be Ouro's town read on Fire and Exodu5. Fire's posting picked up around that time although a lot moreso after that read, but I've been leaning slightly towards scum on Exodu5 for a while.

Don't think I've seen anything from Kitsune still outside of defending from Dragonz.

Trigger and Sexyfish both mia, Sexy is new and I don't think that's too atypical of Trigger, but showing up, saying that they're reading the thread and then disappearing again isn't great. Star mentioned that Sexyfish isn't posting in their private chat either, is the same true of Trigger Ty4on?

Ty4on said:
We may get some Trigger posts...

What do you make of Ouro's read of Fire tho? I'm struck that I don't really understand it so I wanna go back and see if I can find the reason he might've thought that way. He didn't state it was a strong read, but it was in his top two.

Hmmmm, so your read on Sorian is neutral or town PR? Then what about Fat?
Click to expand...

Neutral on Sorian. I was reading back through the Kitsune/Dragonz stuff as I remember Sorian had a lot to say, but nothing particularly stuck out at the moment. Still going through it tho.

As for Fat, I'm a bit more negative. I've looked over Fat's posts up to #636, and there wasn't a whole lot of good stuff. Lots of shitposting, but more then that he's tackled very easy subjects. For example:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245130294&postcount=154 - Reply on Ouro early on
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245136321&postcount=207 - Nomadic's no lynch
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245142618&postcount=278 - Nin's post on about how people view pairings.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245159076&postcount=345 - Comments on Kitsunelaine's self-preservation
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245235165&postcount=516 - More on Nomadic and his no lynch
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245240196&postcount=555 - A read on the "PLEASE NOTICE ME SENPAI" post
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245242422&postcount=579 - Asks for Fireblend about Dragonz/Kitsune...
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245250273&postcount=616 - Comes back with a small followup.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245252514&postcount=636 - Some small talk about lovers chat.

Lot of shitposting in between those too

I need to go over his newer posts, but up until there he's been pretty passive and not tackling hard subjects. Not a whole lot of hard stances.

My partner feels confident about it, and I haven't seen anything that makes me object to his vote right now, so...

Play like shit, get votes. Mafia isn't really a hard game to understand. It's clear something is up here with your awkward play.

Fireblend said:
I've been thinking that he's been curiously non-engaged with the current discussion, specially since he was around last page and chose to continue talking about the WAMD-Kitsune thing instead, except for a quick mention of Ouro when announcing he was going to sleep.

I can already tell he's going to say he didn't think it was worth commenting on because it was uninteresting or something, but I did expect him to chime in at some point. I don't know if what he's done qualifies as avoidance for me though. I'm waiting for him to come back and see if he's planning to follow up that thought before making up my mind.
Click to expand...

You mean the page where I talked about my vote on Orb/TWE? First Ouro and now you, second time someone has pretended I'm harping on a topic that has long passed. Ouro hasn't followed consistent logic all of day 1 so far. I said as much early on (to which the excuse was effectively "but it's only been a couple hours!" and nothing has changed except for more time and garbage posts. Between the slow dog pile and him talking unpressured, he is providing enough rope on his own for me to judge him later.

Dr. Worm said:
I don't get the "manufactured" thing

at all

literally, I don't understand what it means

is it supposed to be the idea that scumchat is prescripting conversations prior to posting them?

because I don't think anything like that ever actually happens on GAF, at least from the scumchats I've perused
Click to expand...

No, scum never goes out of their way to say "hey, let's fight right now!" What happens is that they try to engage each other publicly so that they look like a natural set of players. Talking points turn into an argument and neither player ends up backing down because they need to overcompensate for how they think they would have acted as town. Which turns into a long string of empty back and forth, which is still what I was reading there.

StarSketch said:
Um...

I feel like we're jumping on Ouro a bit too fast here.

But then again. 65% chance of not town...
Click to expand...

?

If the game is at 65% scum then Burb can call it now, I've already lost.

-------

Orb, you posted a joke, what are your thoughts on my vote for your partner and by extension, you?

TWE, you've parroted other people's talking points more and either ignored or did not see my vote. Give me something fresh. Give me a reason to actually be able to read you.

Er, Neutral as in I'm not leaning any particular way on Sorian. Not neutral as in I think he's a third party neutral.

Something about this bothers me. More so than the actual read itself. Like, it seems like you saw the criticism over your read and decided to preemptively link you two together by saying this? I don't like it. If it was actually a poor read from a town player, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just say "Yeah, in retrospect, that read was shit" and simply move on.
Click to expand...

I think it was this post that confused me (even though I just now managed to get to the point Sophia was at there), in that she said "your read" and I thought it was a read made by Ourobolus instead of one made on him, which made me think this was something Ourobolus had started himself

I blame Sophia for confusing me into agreeing with her

Right, but why does that then translate to you needing to link yourselves? Scum is rarely, if ever, going to just town read a teammate like that with no prodding or even real evidence. The reason it's scummy is because it's a bum read with no sign of logic behind it.

I've said it twice now in the last 15 minutes (but at least one came right after this post), there is no logic to follow for any of your statements. You throw things out there with no analysis and I think you even defended it once by saying something about how KK knows the logic because lover's chat. But that's not how mafia works, the group has to be able to follow your work because 9 times of 10, scum aren't able to show work since they already had the answer before it started.

but I still think that... whatever it was is weird because I didn't think the "dogpile" was notable (although I guess people read it differently when its about themselves?) enough to the point where people making assumptions about connections between Ouro and Fireblend was something that Ouro should've been concerned about, and I didn't see a good reason for him to be that jumpy about it

I don't think I've seen much in the way of a positive reaction to Ouro at all today and it's only 3 votes but that is actually vote leader at this stage. I think calling it a dogpile, even with the slow speed it's moving at, is fair.

The "dogpile" initially was me and Ty, and I was fairly clear that I didn't see it specifically as a scum tell. Then muffin jumped on too and voted Ouro, then Ouro started being defensive about it.

Which I found odd, since it was awkwardly explained by him at best how he got those reads. Which prompted me to make the post I did to get a bit more reactions primarily from him.

Just peaking in real quick:

Sorry for letting Muffin handle all the posts lately, I have a really hard time understanding what's going on. Like... With reading all the posts.
Nothing goes into my head and I can't form a real thought. Hope tomorrow is a better day and I let Muffin explain what happened or try rereading everything I missed.
I'm just confused today I think.

Kark has been brought up multiple times by myself and others as being a glaring omission from day 1 proceedings but at this point it almost borders onto wondering whether picking at it is going to somehow trip that "real world" argument. That said, he's no better than TWE in terms of where his post count is and how he'll likely technically meet the 10 post requirement without having said much but I could only vote for one and no one had seemed to mention Worthy yet.

Looking at the list of posts, I'm actually surprised Darryl is only at 5. That's actually mildly concerning when I'm most used to his scum play in NX.

Otherwise, not really. Star and SexyFish being a team is rather unfortunate because it's not even weird for Star and I think Fish? to be super low activity.

Tsu not having a post at all means I don't care, that's just straight replacement status and Flush is posting even if I don't have a real read there yet.

Rest don't really trip me yet, nin needs to fluff post more. I know how much he loves fluff.

I already went over that, but okay. As I said, I wasn't content with Ouros answers not because it looked like a sure scum play, too obvious for that, but because of the way he seemed to evade actually explaining himself very well and the way Fireblend posted right afterwards.

Which made me vote, which in turn made Fireblend share his thoughts in a way that gave me positive reads from him, as well as Ouro maintaining his dodgy playing behaviour.
