Also, your conclusion that his targets don't match his stated thoughts is completely wrong. I specifically said that he mentioned two targets that he was talking about and then me, so why are you trying to misrepresent what I said?

Hmmm. No. I read it the same way. You tangent off in another direction. I agree with her read. I mean, I guess it could just be a bad paragraph structure thing or you got distracted while you were writing, but it definitely feels out of place.

Also people posting in this thread that aren't in the game DOES affect the game negatively. The whole point of Mafia is that it's a closed system, and you analyze people's interactions based on that - that's why replacements are garbage, because you basically have to do a total reset on your read. Random other people dropping in creates a smokescreen for scum to hide behind as they draw attention to themselves. Stop encouraging them.

Ok, this is my Hot Take on Tom. Either someone in the other thread has the same role to balance it out or he's scum running an innovative gambit to get out of being picked for battle. For sure there's no way that we'd have someone who gave us a direct number advantage and if he was a town cop/doctor he wouldn't make up a gambit to avoid battle.

This seems like a stretch to me. About the only person I'd believe that would make this gambit would be you or Taste. He could still be scum, but I don't think he's lying about his ability. Probably there is an equivalent in the other thread like you mention.

Looking back, I think my rationale for not mentioning CPig was because he HAD been posting mafia content (insofar as the n0 cop gambit is pretty obvious by now), unlike the other folks in my post. I think part of it was that I've seen CPig in enough other games I've read to know that he isn't the type to lurk through a game. Yes, meta read, I know. As far as post counts/lack of content go at this point I'm squinting at Rascyc, Dok, and Chic. I see CPig is here and posting!

And yes, I did eventually notice Dok - who I still don't feel good about. Their one content post reads as forced and awkward to me - they got called out for not producing any content, so that post is half apologetic "I have no reads so I won't vote" and half setup spec about what scum would want to do with battle. Happy with my vote.

I agree on Dok.

I'm pretty sure you were just jumping on her for not posting reasoning, so for you to then say this seems weird. Can you clarify?

Voting and declaring someone scum without a reason is dumb, reaction fishing at best which imo is more annoying then helpful but whatever. I found the reason itself flawed because TMM had like three of-content posts at that point. It'd be a decent angle if it was later in D1 or D2+, but it wasn't. It was early! That's silly you should sit on that sort of angle and let it grow and fester beyond two or three whole posts.

imo

Need more evidence to use a meta claim. At the very worst it's MTT backpedaling after stirring poo poo but I really doubt that, there's no point.

Rarity posted:

Please show the content from Ridonk that has solidified your read and explain why it makes you feel more confident.

alright

So we have the whole Ixl-Rid spat that was silly and Rid didn't let go for the longest time until pressured to do so, when it was obvious no one was jumping on that wagon. That could be parsed as either scum giving up on a bombastic bandwagon attempt or a townie quietly dropping something for the benefit of the game. The fact that it has never come up once again since then is making me lean towards the former, tbh. Hasn't even said a peep about them, actually. All the while the entire slapfight is weird and wasn't even diffused after several people said "Uhhh it's a reoccuring joke it's fine lol." that was ignored, infact.

weird

Now, looking into Ridonk's posting so far, there is no actual content after that! Lots of needling others, but they're just sitting around, not making a peep. No votes. (Not even on Ixt before.) Weirdly a lot of this needling is already explained stuff, so I question if they're really reading the thread much.

Ridonkulous posted:

Can you justify why you are voting for me? Because you do not like my style or do you actually think I'm scum?

Ridonkulous posted:

it would be a lot easier to tell who you think is scum if you would vote for someone.

same. However, this is to Kashuno, who is voting for Rid! With me! And this was brought up by them in the past, which means they're not really paying attention to the thread and just coasting through. Not hunting scum, certainly.

Ridonkulous posted:

Do you read "hedgy" as scummy or just unsure?

Ridonkulous posted:

I was just looking for clarification, but you have a soft trigger finger.

Ridonkulous posted:

I get it but I still think that throwing someone over just because they have posted little is not a good idea (I mentioned replacements, hoping they would post more often). Throwing over someone for being scummy is the preferred action.


Which part? The idea that he was waiting because he wanted to see the excuse OR that the excuse was what he though it was going to be?
I do not disagree that the comment was lovely but I want to hear your justification.

All no-content needling, doesn't actually follow up on any of this.



I think Ridonkulous did a big effort thing early on, realized it went bad and then tuned out. Since then they've been trying to look like they're participating with lots of needling with no follow up. They're an active poster, but not an active participant.

Who do you think is scum, Rid? Where would you put your vote and why aren't you doing it?

As a quick aside on dok;

Sure thing. He seems to have picked out a patsy to needle a bit, but isn't actively scum hunting. He goes out of his way to throw massive shade at Kash without any kind of follow up, vote, etc. Hoping someone else picks up the torch for him so he can sweep in later?

Really bad post, would vote Gamer based on this alone.

Ok, let's just walk through it: I am known for attacking votes against me as town, MMT comes in and puts down a contentless vote on me with "I have a theory" attached to it after I've made only 3 or 4 posts in the thread. What else could that theory be except that she is trying to test me to see if I'll attack her vote? I'd have to be literally brain dead not to see that coming.

Why would you phrase your other post as "It's not the answer I was expecting" if you had zero expectations? Stating it that way seems to imply that you had some sort of answer in mind.
