I'll clear up some loose ends.
  • [off-topic] I have mentioned Pizza's use of "scumbag" when scum in three prior games, beginning in 2016 with https://www.giraffeboards.com/showpo...&postcount=137 . I also mentioned it in 2018, 2020, and my latest mention makes it once every 2 years like clockwork. At one point I said something like "The tell no longer works since I informed Pizza of it."
  • Having said that, I did NOT vote him primarily because of his use of that word. It was the entirety of his diction and demeanor that convinced me he was Scum. I am not particularly good at reading players, but for some reason there is a particular Pizza-scum demeanor (ranting rather than informing) that I recognize easily. (I'm surprised others don't see it easily.)
  • And I did NOT vote myself.

No promises.

Swammi pinged me, and I mentioned it for a couple reasons. One is undoubtedly OMGUS. I KNOW I'm town, so pushing at me raises a couple of theories. One, I tend to be an easy miswrap, so when I get pushed at when I'm town by someone I've played with multiple times...I wonder if there's an agenda there.

Point the second, meta-y wondering about why he was wearing a sock to read the game. I know that's a minor point among minor points. I still mentally slot that into a question mark. To not have his light lit up as active? There's an easier way to do that, just enter invisible mode. Could be a different device - I think my Kindle is probably signed in as a different personality from one of the sock games.

He voted himself. Ugh! Having just seen that with Pizza, plus the AtE, makes me feel generally a little queasy. We are an emotional bunch, passionate players damn near all, but I hate hate hate the gambit of self voting. In my head the... The 3 other times? I've seen it in recent memory, only one was town.


None of this adds up to more then a collection of weak points.
They might SEEM like strong points — so strong that your calling them "weak points" is suspicious! You don't want to be seen as smudging Town!

I did NOT vote myself. I cast an ILLEGAL vote on myself whimsically, and mentioned that it was an ILLEGAL vote. (Perhaps the illegality — I hadn't Unvoted — was more apparent to me than to others since I've played with the vote-counting script.)

Almost nobody gets my sense of humor (except a very few close relatives who sometimes find me hilarious). I'm just hanging out, trying to be myself, but am now trying to tone down the whimsy and ambiguity.

I logged in to a Sock so I could tailor the Ignore list for a re-read. I certainly didn't want to see Pizza's posts, and there were several others I wanted to bypass to save time. I posted under the Sock whimsically. But I then voted under the Sock accidentally — A big no-no. I hope I've already apologized for that.

Lightfoot and Jackie are two that I think could work but I don't have as strong of a reason that I'm right with them. Feel like those are two slots where I can't really articulate why I get the scum vibes but I do.

So my current solve is:

Town:
Kai
Ren
APSB

Town Reads but not as confident:
Mendie
Swammerdami
Dizzy

Elves
Bashorian
One of <Lightfoot/TexCat>
One of <Raven/Jackie>



Mariah
One of <Burma/Raven>
Your main charge against BC and TexCat seems to be the ease with which they voted Pizza and gave little further thought to Day 1. That fits me also to a 'T'! I have them as Neutral. I wish you would vote for your third choice, Raventhief. You show Raven as possibly Elf AND possibly Maria Godfather, so I think she's the best Wrappee.

I have Town leans on Lightfoot and Jackie. I still think Dizzy and Renata are possible Scum. I'm not sure about APSB but do agree there are better candidates for wrapping. (I supported APSB voting as it seemed the likeliest way to get a Double Wrap.)

The plan to have Kai dictate the Double Wrap seems good — especially since he picked Raven as one of the Wrappees — and I'm already voting Raventhief.

"I didn't vote myself. I cast an illegal vote on myself"

Lol

Sorry. Whimsy is great. I am a big advocate for our in any and all aspects of life.

They seem weak to me, having laid them out. OMGUS is the strongest part of it (encapsulated above as 1st part.) Taking them altogether seems like weak sauce.

Again, sorry to disappoint when I flip. Tho if you ARE scum, I guess it ain't be a disappointment after all. And if you are town, well, I hope you find actual scum before it's too late.

I'm okay with sheeping Kai (tho not on me, obviously since I just bitched about self votes)

Interesting (tm). Because Kai's vote is on Bashorian Clement, not you. Burma Shave isn't one of the options offered. You and Bashorian Clement are.



Your comments today look like scum to me.

Pizza's tendency to declaim and pontificate and arrogantly point to some of his nine million previous games, (really, here's a link, these are games where he yeeted all the wolves singlehandedly, here's another link where he lists scum and town and giraffe tells, and in this game, here's another link, he destroyed the three different teams of scum) is... Exhausting.

And it makes me feel like he's pointing everywhere bit here, in this game, now. And that's not an entirely accurate feeling, because he had talked a lot about this game, and how mechanically unyeetable or something, but I end up with a impression of misdirection.

But I react to Pizza like this just about every time, even if I'm just observing or reading back over a completed game. So I don't think it's alignment indicative.

I also don't automatically trust his reads, because he will and has read me as scum hard, perhaps because this is a social outlet for me. I LIKE having some sleuthjuice and hanging out. And scribbling on my whiteboard.

I'll going to go make dinner. I'll be back later with
(bold is mine) Shade followed immediately by "oh no not me I'm not accusing him of anything". Townies will do this, but not like this. There will be some kind of thought process, some evidence that shows their confusion. This is just two disconnected thoughts glued together so as to say something about the topic of the moment that's vaguely consensus-y while remaining above the fray.

Red Skeezix

Swammerdami
Texcat posted twice. confirmed pm and agreed with pleo.

A lot of these don't have a read or a comment... That beans I'm still pondering. I may need more sleuth juice.
Obviously this is not much. Of what is there, gun to head if I'm right about raventhief being an Elf, Bashorian Clement is also, while Mendie, Burma Shave, APSB are unaligned.

(Reason being that of the reads that feel meaningful, the ones on APSB and Mendie feel genuine, and the one on Burma Shave feels forced negative (kind of like the Pizza comment above), while the one on Bashorian Clement feels forced positive.)

I've read through raventhief's posts for the rest of day one and that's literally it as far as reads go, I think. 48 posts and only those two having anything directly to do with anybody else's alignment. She ends the day without a vote on anybody.

It's a shame because at one point day one Burma Shave called her "pure" and I totally get how that someone could say that (if the opinion was real). Her posts are really nice to read and free-flowing. But there's is almost nothing where reads are supposed to be and what little is there, kinda looks like struggly scum.

On to days two and three.

This one is super interesting from a Raventhief=elf perpective.

Because Guiri's town. If Raventhief is an Elf, they didn't shoot at Guiri, they shot at somebody else (probably Kai), so this entire thing goes against TMI. I honestly don't know if Raventhief as scum thinks to elaborate on the mechanics in this way. I find this really difficult to do myself and tend to read people town for it, but I know it's wrong to do that. Leave it as potentially interesting for post-game.

Lightfoot: No vote on day 1, didn't show up til late and didn't have much going on in terms of trying to sway the thread in any direction.


Mendie & Swammerdami: Both were pile on votes for Pizza with their own reasons. Mendie for knocking him down a peg and Swammer for the scumbag verbiage. Both of them pretty much got that reason in, voted, and left it at that without much more going at others. My thinking is both are too aggressive for how I am viewing the Elves. Both were in your face “I am voting you for this, deal with it” towards Pizza instead of just getting a vote in and hiding in the background. Based on how the other two Mariah's acted I could see them being a Mariah in intense bussing situations but I just don't see them as elves and I don't want to really approach them until later.
These are my top candidates right now, and I semi Agree with a lot of what you posted here.

My votes on Texcat are genuine, there's something off there. Very in an swoopy votes with no game play at all. Barely an explination. I'm highly suspciious here.

Lightfoot also hits that target as well. I'm super uncomfortable that she just did it again, and unvoted Renata (for the potential reveal) and just hopped right on the next wagon. I'm also highly suspicious here.

Tex and Lightfoot are my top two contendors.

As for Mendie/Swammi - I think sometimes you have to return loud and proud with aggressive to get yourself heard properly. It's tough getting through to Pizza sometimes and when he's scum it's even more so because he's able to spin well. I'm fairly confident this is a scum of some sort.

I'm not seeing APSB or Burma at all.

Marry, Fuck Kill list today is:

Fuck (Vig) - Swammi/Mendie. somewhere in there.

Pleo had an innocent result (that's what inno is short for, right?) Bit I haven't formed an independent opinion on him. Which I think is par for the course. I think.

Raventhief had to be prompted to vote at all (after not voting on day one) and specifically voted in a way that saved scum Red Skeezix . And let's be honest here, it's a hugely struggly vote. They can barely string together a reason for making it. "He did the scum thing, but I'm not sure I believe in it, but it's a thing I noticed."

I'm so sorry, Raven, not sure whether you're Pizza/Skeezix partner or just got caught up making the worst possible bad vote at the worst possible time, but I do think you're a wolf.

Ok done with Bashorian Clement and did most of Burma Shave too.

I really do not see Burma Shave as scum right now. This wagon is bad IMO.

Bashorian Clement I don't particularly see as scum either, but better than Burma Shave.

This is BC's reads list from day two

Quote:

Revisiting my initial (very initial) reads from Day 1.

Townie

Kaiveran -- strong town claimed cop; assume there is a green check Today? I don't imagine there's a red check because they wouldn't have us spinning our wheels.

Gurui -- strong town due to no doc counterclaim and for just one death overnight.

These are townie for either the way they reacted to Pizza or vice versa, but hard to tell if they're just Elf:

TexCat -- the way Pizza was pushing for her wrap makes me think she's town or Elf; lean town because I haven't seen anything unexpected from her.

Renata -- although the leash the vig thing was dropped, Renata did have Pizza as scum from the get go

Burma Shave -- weak reason but employing a gimmick as scum just seems like it would be burdensome

Null

Mendie Taoma -- Voted Pizza for policy reasons, so I can't townbin Mendie, although I have empathy for that position
Lightfoot -- haven't seen anything Alignment Indicative
A Poor Shepherd Boy -- more town than null for being a counter wagon to Pizza
Dizzymrslizzy -- haven't seen anything AI
raventhief -- haven't seen anything AI
JackieLikesVariety -- haven't seen anything AI
Swammerdami -- I think Swammi was also voting for Pizza for policy reasons but switched off for some reason; I don't really know what to think about him right now

Scummy

Pleonast -- I don't understand the thing about people being off of Pizza's wagon being scummy for lying in wait for protecting scum mates. It looks to me like uniformed townies (or elves). The implication is that the players in the running for wrap yesterday were also scum.

RedSkeezix -- yes I thought Red's prolific use of "we" was overcompensating, and I think I still may be right about that. Red's 2:43 seems overly focused on disproving guiri's claim, which really should just be accepted in the absence of a counter-claim. This seems all about discrediting rather than solving.

Players I need to look into more

Halfrize
mikomiya

I abandoned the game when it got unwieldy out of frustration. I really didn't and still don't like how that all went down and for the first time since I started playing mafia I took an emotional hit that made me think that I didn't want anything to do with this game and maybe Mafia at all. I was really uncomfortable and disgusted.

And that Day 1 makes it supremely difficult to make sense of anything as far as solving the puzzle goes.

I did return at the end of Day 1 or close to it and skimmed some. If I had been in a better head space I probably would have changed my vote, but to whom, I don't know, if at all. So much happened.

I'm going to vote Pleonast right now because he usually makes more logical sense than I'm getting from him, and I don't have familiarity with Red.

I hope Kaiveran returns to give a little direction.

I mean, glaring mistake about me notwithstanding, this is a perfectly adequate reads list. It's just that they're not super engaged overall.

I often vote last minute. It's a personal failing. I hope Bash is actual scum, so all that wrapping paper isn't wasted. But even if not, I'll be able to relax

Every time I read Ravens posts I feel like they are towny in the moment and every time I go back and look over them or try and think back to what it was I found towny I can't find that same feeling again.

This game has been rather tough for me to solve even though I think I've been decently close with what we know. I definitely expressed repeated suspicions on both dead scum and thought our wrapped town was towny so I want to feel good about that, but I've never actually latched into the reads and ended up being too passive and easily swayed causing me to back off when it counted. I think it's partly due to a lack of familiarity with the players here but also more because one of my many weaknesses in solving is figuring out slots that have some form of self-killing lashing out (either as full blown self votes or a simple "thats fine, kill me im just vanilla town") and that's happened a few times.


It's a me thing, not a others thing. Just trying to verbalize my shortcomings thus far and see if I can adjust in a positive way to help out down the stretch here.

This feels like a pivotal day in the game and I'm hoping we wrap at least one scum. I see Kai has landed on BC/Raven and I'm fine with those even if there's a bit of Raven hesitancy in the initial moment of the posts from there. It's nice that Dizzy and I appear to be getting on some form of same page, though of course that causes the paranoia of "is that just because I've finally backed off of scum reading there" lol.

Renata, can you give me as much in depth thoughts on APSB as you can muster? I read what you've said already - and thanks for the detailed response to my wall posts - but that is the one I need to get on the same page as you with one way or another.

You and I agree on one Elf. If you're the Mariah Godmother can we play for a shared Win? Murder another Elf for us toNight?

Revisiting my initial (very initial) reads from Day 1.

Townie

Kaiveran -- strong town claimed cop; assume there is a green check Today? I don't imagine there's a red check because they wouldn't have us spinning our wheels.

Gurui -- strong town due to no doc counterclaim and for just one death overnight.

These are townie for either the way they reacted to Pizza or vice versa, but hard to tell if they're just Elf:

TexCat -- the way Pizza was pushing for her wrap makes me think she's town or Elf; lean town because I haven't seen anything unexpected from her.

Renata -- although the leash the vig thing was dropped, Renata did have Pizza as scum from the get go

Burma Shave -- weak reason but employing a gimmick as scum just seems like it would be burdensome

Null

Mendie Taoma -- Voted Pizza for policy reasons, so I can't townbin Mendie, although I have empathy for that position
Lightfoot -- haven't seen anything Alignment Indicative
A Poor Shepherd Boy -- more town than null for being a counter wagon to Pizza
Dizzymrslizzy -- haven't seen anything AI
raventhief -- haven't seen anything AI
JackieLikesVariety -- haven't seen anything AI
Swammerdami -- I think Swammi was also voting for Pizza for policy reasons but switched off for some reason; I don't really know what to think about him right now

Scummy

Pleonast -- I don't understand the thing about people being off of Pizza's wagon being scummy for lying in wait for protecting scum mates. It looks to me like uniformed townies (or elves). The implication is that the players in the running for wrap yesterday were also scum.

RedSkeezix -- yes I thought Red's prolific use of "we" was overcompensating, and I think I still may be right about that. Red's 2:43 seems overly focused on disproving guiri's claim, which really should just be accepted in the absence of a counter-claim. This seems all about discrediting rather than solving.

Players I need to look into more

Halfrize
mikomiya

I abandoned the game when it got unwieldy out of frustration. I really didn't and still don't like how that all went down and for the first time since I started playing mafia I took an emotional hit that made me think that I didn't want anything to do with this game and maybe Mafia at all. I was really uncomfortable and disgusted.

And that Day 1 makes it supremely difficult to make sense of anything as far as solving the puzzle goes.

I did return at the end of Day 1 or close to it and skimmed some. If I had been in a better head space I probably would have changed my vote, but to whom, I don't know, if at all. So much happened.

I'm going to vote Pleonast right now because he usually makes more logical sense than I'm getting from him, and I don't have familiarity with Red.

I hope Kaiveran returns to give a little direction.

I mean, glaring mistake about me notwithstanding, this is a perfectly adequate reads list. It's just that they're not super engaged overall.
It was a super-long post which went into detail about WHY he is not super-engaged.

I think Bash C is Town.

I post with my Scorpion avatar just to thank Giraffe for letting me use the fancy font in my user-name.

Obviously there's no intent to deceive since the user name is the same.

Fuck (Vig) - Swammi/Mendie. somewhere in there.

Kill (Wrap) - Lightfoot or Texcat



Vote either Raventhief or Bashorian Clement. We're doing the cop-led double yeet today, or trying to. Those are the candidates.
No thank you. I am not interested in either of those candidates.

You and I agree on one Elf. If you're the Mariah Godmother can we play for a shared Win? Murder another Elf for us toNight?



Elsewhere you write:

Well, yeah. I'd prefer to believe that somebody who stands a chance to get lynched today is scum though. And I don't mean lack of engagement only in terms of the amount of their participation. In terms of quality, like I said, it's all ... fine. (There's more than I quoted, they're doing at least the bare minimum of what town should do. But it's not a shining paragon of town solving either. They're middling for me.)

Miko -- I can't do anything else on APSB today. I've done as much ctrl-F-ing through multiple threads as I can stand for somebody who was not included in the cop's preferences. If you want to look back yourself you'll see me point out a couple things on day one and after, and I'll comment on those if you quote them. But I'm done. People are probably better off ignoring me anyway given my recent track record.

Cool cool. Wasted no accountability vote, just what this game needs more of.

I guess they forgot to unvote. It's supposed to be on BC.

How do you summon the robot?

Red Skeezix is now wrapped. He was the Mariah Carey Backup Doctor. Scum.

Pleonast is now wrapped. He was an Ordinary Mall Santa. Vanilla Town.

Guiri is now wrapped. He was the Mall Santa Doctor. Town.


That is two Town players dead at the Night, which means we have the possibility of two wraps instead of one. Only one wrap is required, but a second one will trigger if the threshold is met.

First Wrap: Automatic with the top vote getter.

Second Wrap: Requires four(4) votes placed on the player at end of Day. If no player aside from the top vote getter has four or more votes on them, only one wrap will occur like normal.

Here is a countdown to Thursday, December 29 at 7 PM, end of Day:

And here is that very useful vote counter:

Play nice!


It's here- just click the link and paste the thread url you want to calculate.

If it's a 4-4 tie, they both go down, right?

Bashorian Clement is set to be wrapped if nothing changes. No second wrap at this point. A 4-4 tie would indeed trigger a second wrap.

Really? I take offense with this post on Raven's behalf. Raven is a very good player, and doesn't struggle in the least.

Understandable Ren. I feel as if I've spent more time on the game this game day than I planned to as well.

No, I actually see all of your votes as unaccountable wasted votes.

And Texcat at the last minute with her Let's make sure it's a double wrap.

Again. You play the game your way. I'll play it mine. I'm not going to sheep vote when I don't agree with the case on either player. This vote is going to tell us absolutely nothing.

I think everyone has done a pretty good job of appearing towny to some degree and obviously nearly a quarter of the game are scum so that's pretty impressive. It's why I'm struggling more today but I'm hoping I've landed on something decent. None of my scum reads are because I think someone is obvious scum. Rather I think there are just sweet spots that scum will be hiding in based on how the game has played out and these are the people I think fall into that.

Hopefully no offense is taken on my scum reads of anyone by them. If they end up being town it was a me problem and not a them problem.

I don't see anything you said as offensive. but assuming someone is playing poorly because you don't agree with them in a game of opinions is downright shitty and unnecessary.
