I can’t bring myself to vote hal or convince anyone that IS and/or podima are scum.

I'd vote either IS or Pod.

Read the whole game again while biking, here’s unedited thoughts from my phone notes. Will be settled and around in a bit. Summary, id vote Sal, Hal, or Alasdair.

===

Keane good, didn’t shy away from as’ claim, posts make perfect sense in context of last game where scum couldn’t talk. Volunteered flavor first . Posting like town Keane, same as last game together

Most good, clearly “on” this game and making good points . Oddity around AA’s claim based on some thinking I have but not enough to push atm

Is sketchy, early game awkward. Back and forth on them but the “pod was likely the kill” being weird af. Undecided , frustration and offer to thundersome bminus feels real

Hal sketchy, danced around as’ claim, didn’t commit to a vote and then swapped to “boxed in” to “detriment to town going forward” - Mona called this out. Still hasn’t done much real casing

Fisk’s posting early game was bad, constant shade on AS to try and remove the pho? Meinberg was bad, so is Alasdair. Meinberg danced around the me/aa thing without committing till it was foregone, and didn’t do much actual casing besides

Slam really wanted AS dead, lots of game theory talk. Picks it up later. Overall ok, nothing jumps out.

Pmom’s posting is fine, Merck’s is of dubious usefulness to start. Seen merk jump on tbe “you need to claim” bing as town gambit before. At first his being stuck on AS bothered me but he’s branched out and done reads

Sal keeps responding immediately time wise when mentioned - defensive, reading but not posting until called out is scummy. Makes statements and then walks them back when challenged “assume council is scum” without actually driving further to point out/vote the remaining claimed council. Fishing. Says Fisk is scummy but won’t extend that to his replacement meinberg when pressed. Sal says Hal has been providing reads? Need to ask what reads he means

B minis, when I sat down to do this reread this paragraph jumps out at me enough to quote
“This part is all based on my personal meta spec, but gently caress it nobody else is posting anyway: Town or scum, podima knows that I'm town. he reads every mafia game and certainly has a feel for my meta. If podima is scum, then this would explain why he hasn't legitimately cased me, even though I have dodged a few of his posts asking me for specific reads/explanations. So his scum partner IS has to do the dirty work and try to convince the town to lynch me. He tried it yesterday (or was it d1), and now he's doing it again lol. “

Starts by saying in town or scum but know he’s town because of his meta, and then says that I’m scum because I haven’t cased him - but (deliberately?) ignores tbe “I’m town and know he’s town” option in favor of tying me to IS while admitting he’s dodged stuff. Could be frustrated town feeling vehement about someone enough to not bother with non scum options

Can you please point to the reads that you were thinking of when you made this post, Sal?

Slamburger posted:

I guess I'll just disagree with you about everything today. Hal is a good scum player. He doesn't usually post "suspicious" things when he's scum or get caught making super sketchy arguments. So when I see a player like Hal kind of sitting on the sidelines and posting some reads and engaging with people but not really making any serious effort to find scum or provoke people through pointed accusations, that's a scum tell for me. It's a survival strategy, and it works.

What about his play is giving you such a strong town read?

Highlighting this post, btw.

b-minus1 posted:

I agree, I just find it odd that your using it as a case for merk being scum. seems like that action should be a null tell

Any thoughts on sober, podima or sal?

Hal Incandenza posted:

It would be more of null tell on D1 but to use that as an excuse to not offer reads on D3 is more scummy

I’ll talk about those 3 in a minute hang on

Hey Hal can you finish this thought here, please?

---

Still a bit annoyed that bminus seems to be the only one commenting on Alasdair's lurking but I'm not going to start a ruckus about it this close to deadline - though my feelings about them are far more based on Meinberg's posting than Alasdair's absence. They should get modkilled at this point IMO.

meh... IS I said earlier for the most part I don't like, but his more recent posting at least makes him seem like he is making reads as opposed to earlier in the day when he was just posting noise.

You... I dunno you seem off to me. You pop in with these long posts but I don't feel like there is a through-line to any of your casing. You have some surface reads of everyone but nothing feels consistent. I just don't know what to make of GOTCHA with AA which seemed like such a complete nothing and I still don't get why you thought you had something there. The explanation still didn't address the fact that he had your flavor pretty much down and the "well he got lucky guessing" is dumb. I would probably lean scum or non-town of some sort on you based on posting alone.

Sal is Sal, I still see him as someone who always makes awkward posts. His reluctance to answer the questions about IS today are bothering me though, I think he's a fine vote.

I stand by my points on merk, I still think he's barely said anything even after he showed up and PinMom's stuff is pretty neutral to me.

I also would be fine getting rid of AS, that has not changed.

Your IS read is empty air.
I explained my issues with AA at length.
Your wishy-washy vibe on Sal doesn't make me feel good - it's D3, the time to excuse Sal for being Sal is done. This is the only thing I sort of agree with you with, and it's not even a strong stance you're taking.
Also, I was ready to brush off merk too originally but he picked it up near the end today. He's given multiple reads, including on you, and your willingness to brush that off is telling. (I also don't love the way he says you were posting "solid mafia theory" as if that's a valid replacement for meaningful casing, but that's another topic.)

This, however, stands out as fake. You've given no reads that matter in any way (Your Meinberg vote and AA votes are without explanation) and you agree with the position I've taken on AS. Yet, here you are with this vote right after I replaced into the game.


the posts quoted from hal are all day 1, when my claim was the focus of discussion. i'm a little suss of hal but three days have passed since then, do you think he's not allowed to change his position?
