The good point is that people are super generous in giving their treats to FL without him clearing himself and that's odd.

I don't think we should vote JHats, after reflecting a bit - like a couple other people have said, if that's his role, and if he's town, he's well worth keeping around. There have been a couple more concrete cases as well. I figure we should at least save him for D2; confident the truth will come out by then with an action result.

On filtering, TM's posting in this game is way different than his posting in gotta go fast, in which he was town, and I could see myself voting him today. Other than that, I kinda like my vote where it is.

Lie detect, alignment cop, finding maf etc. I know it's very possible to bus someone but I've never seen a bus work out so it didn't occur to me at the time of posting. My logic is sound anyway, FL is potentially scum so it's odd that people would give him their treat votes. We don't know how strong treats can be so it's wise to be wary who to give them to.

Can you tell me exactly how my posting is different from that game? That game started with P Mushroom being obvious scum, and I spend most of the time trying to get people to lynch them before I died. Nothing much is happening right now.

Don't anyone think it's weird that they are three people suddenly pushing onto me when I'm gone for a bit? It reeks of mafia trying to take advantage of the fact that I'm away. Especially with vague and kinda lovely reasoning.

Derp is probably the most suspicious of the three because I don't even understand what he is trying to imply, and seemed like a maf boy trying to bandwagon on me by following KB.

My reads on others:

Jimmy is definitely town in my eyes from past experience.
Infinitum definitely reads scummy, not only does he not have much to say other than mechanics chat but his vote on CPig is pretty lacking on material. Just an "I agree" and a vote. Feels very bandwagony.

Derp and Infinitum definitely seemed the most scummy right now, I can't tell much from the rest.

You hadn't put yourself out there. Your last posts were all asking questions of people without following up on their answers. You weren't really making any strong alignment calls.

Like seriously, look at your own posts before you made this response and imagine if someone else had made them and what you'd think of them.

Oh. Okay yeah, I actually get it. Unfortunately, that's usually how I try to play, especially when I'm not being pressured. I'm really bad at scum reading so I try to help by asking questions and reminding people about stuff.

GGF basically started as a D2 game with PMushroom, I had enough information and stuff to be confident with my reads. GGF was not the norm of how I usually play, if I'm being honest. I had a lot of free time then too.

But yeah, I kinda get why I'm under suspicion though, in retrospect.

Right then.

First and foremost, I know that when I play mafia I'm usually always strong point of contention due to my play style. I'm boisterous, opinionated, and a gigantic sarcastic arsehole. A lot of times I'll say something D1 that someone will latch onto, and my words will get spun into whatever narrative scum wants to run with.
That's fine, I know this.
That's how the game is played.

So what if I dangled a tantalising little fishy on a hook just before I went to bed?

Infinitum posted:

14 hours until lynch.

Imma go to bed and hopefully CPig will already be lynched when I wake up

Look at that.
It's such an ambiguously provocative statement, how could you NOT react to it as scum?
That's your spin doctor bread and butter right there.
"Holy poo poo Infinitum said something dumb, better jump right the gently caress on that one"

And guess what? They took the bait.

CapitalistPig posted:

##vote inf

every other vote on me at least tried to have a reason.

I did have a reason, and I stated it before. I agreed with AA's case on CPig

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

I think that operating as if we know how the treats work is a bad idea is all. I should specify that trying to infer motive from treats right now is probably a bad idea and that scum can use this added mechanic to look like they are contributing when they aren't and are instead mitigating heat that would build on them, in fact yeah... I think I see what pig is getting at with infinitum and your post reaffirms the notion I'm trying to express.

Inf used mechanic discussion to appear active then made a noncommittal me too vote.

That's the scummiest behavior ITT so far.

##vote infinitum

Then in swoops AA.
Suddenly the man who was giving out treats with no good logic behind it, and had cased CPig for being non-commital can see the scumminess in my post? Both CPig and AA know I'm an intelligent player, KNOW how much I love making cases, and they KNOW I'd never just pop down a Me-2 vote without having my reasons.

"But Inf. Wasn't AA voting for CPig?" I hear you ask?
Yes, but take a look at the posts in context. Cpig votes for me, and then AA joins in IMMEDIATELY afterwards.
As I said it was meant to be a provocative post to draw scum in.

All I'm seeing is AA bussing CPig early game for Town Cred, as CPig was at the time the likeliest lynch candidate, and then IMMEDIATELY jumping on whatever case his scumbro could make.

:bustem:

---------------------------------------------
tl;dr

AA+CPig scum
AA bussed CPig early for town cred
Both took bait I left hook line and sinker.

Of the 2, CPig is a more difficult read and would prefer him gone today. (All of his posts are "This is a stupid vote" or "I agree with this" nonsense)
It will be easier to read AA later.

I think it's an excellent catch on the treat.

It's D1, you hardly know anything about anyone, you've got this treat mechanic floating about, and you decide to give your treat to someone you previously voted for?
100% doesn't add up.

Would vote Jimson as well.
Like we're in a good position D1 here as we've got a couple of really good lynch candidates.

Getting scum vibes from AA. Very self-conscious, and some of his word choice really pings me. Also didn't like stickup's series of consecutive posts on page 7. Them both voting Inf early makes me think Inf is town.

If there is no other meta I have it is that I call people idiots.

This case is incredibly defensive, self-conscious, and the worst thing to me is the "my logic is sound" because it sounds like something a scum would say.
