I don't know if it's because he's a good player and that's scary or whatever but it does kind of weird me out just how much of d1 discussion centers around binus in the games I've played with him, how do you even play against that regardless of what team you're on

if you think that's bad, shift discussion to something you think is scummy.

I mean I effectively did, I think the votes on binus because his posting is in some way scummy despite looking like every recent game I've seen him in, is suspicious

Presume he’s scum, rather than bothering with if he’s 3P or town with an ortho-win-con explaining his weirdness. I am not defaulting to binus being scum, evidenced by the fact that I wrote a loving case.

I don't really have the experience to comment on meta reads, and I think generally they're not great cases, but I'm pretty convinced that sandwolf is town

My time is going to be limited as we approach deadline so just generally:

happy to vote, in order of priority: salad>cpig>maybe illu

ambivalent but willing to vote: cubical, toal (but mostly because they always read like scum to me), moritz, huma, green wing?

resistant to voting: yami, plastic, maugrim, binus, cloaca

won't vote: sandwolf, quantum, probably shwin

I won't be voting binus even though he's tunnelling me, consider it penance for accidentally shooting him N1 in my last (first) game

He was scum so I'm not THAT sorry about it, but I was aiming at toal

It's the only word they know, but it's such a big word for a tiny creature

Just got off work and the upshot of what I've seen so far today is that honestly, I'm more confident about my binus vote than before, largely on the same basis that I put down the vote originally, that has been echoed by others - townreads a'plenty, scumreads a'few. I do feel bad for somebody that leaves games early a lot, but in the last game we were in together he made it longer so I don't feel too bad, and this scummy impression that only increased since I was last able to read the thread. That's good enough for a D1 vote in my eyes.

I was also *scum with him that game* and *kept telling him he wasn’t making enough scumreads* and that his scumtell is *makes town reads the way he usually makes scumreads*

But no, ignore me, what do I know. I’ve only been playing with the guy for a decade.

I only said I'd feel less bad about it because he lasted longer in that game - but he actually didn't...but the scum read feeling I have is too strong so I'll just feel bad about it and live with it. Sic transit gloria mafii.

Decided to read cpig, largely because Maugrim has him down as the most preferred vote and I don't see it. Cpig was right that my vote was the weakest on salad, and looking back on it now I think I was a bit too hasty there anyway, and I don't hate the shwinn vote either. It seems like normal scumhunting, modulo D1.

MockingQuantum posted:

chuckles aside, yes I don't often voice suspicions d1 because as much as we all love jokephase---and we really do love it, don't we, folks---I think d1 meta reads are either bunk and no more likely to be right than a coin flip, or i'm just too new/bad/dumb to make good meta reads

but that aside, I'm a firm believer that being wrong in mafia is half the fun, so here's my kneejerk baseless list of d1 suspects:

Green Wing
Plastic
Clo
Toal

and my very confident definitely not mostly random list of townreads:

binus
Maugrim
Toal

for my less random, somewhat informed reads:
-I think either shwinn or cooper are suspicious but I can't decide which
-I think cube is inherently suspicious because I think they intentionally do weird D1 self-imposed policy vote things to intentionally confound meta reads which is a good way to hide both scum and townie play, but also I respect the hustle and would do it myself if I was smarter
-I was suspicious of TMor for the "I wont vote Green Wing because I want to test my GW meta read" (see above on my opinion of d1 meta reads) but also he supports keeping binus around on principle which I support

biggest iffy read right now is illu and yami based on them going after binus because this is literally exactly how binus played in the last game where he was town, I think scum shook by binus's very presence

I really do not like the *amount* of reads in this one post - and not just because I'm in the scumread pile. It's a common scum tactic to put in a scumbuddy among the scumreads, and this is just...so many vague reads. It's whitenoise. And it uses the D1 smokescreen to give coverage for those reads - and then gives *even more reads* in the lower pile.

Scattershot, white noise, wide-field interference-running. Whatever you want to call it, this post is giving me strong alarm bells. Putting this much suspicion out there allows for this post to be drawn out at a later time on a tactic of convenience, or a bussing if necessary.

I would go so far to say that for this post alone, Quantum is my #2 preferred vote today.

yah Quantum is a newer player who is just posting lots of reads to generate content. towny behavior, or if MQ is scum then this is an earnest and pretty good impression of how they'd scumhunt as town

Green Wing is reading them incorrectly through the lens of what constitutes "good" town play, but that doesn't mean Green Wing is scum

This is a bad faith reading of my post! I don't care or adhere to SA mafia best practices, I overpost my thoughts and jump around with my votes all over. This is me saying - hey, this is scummy and this is why. Very bad faith dismissal of what I said!
