Cop can check me, preserve my sterling reputation.

I guess I felt that RobotNerd looked earnest enough up to the point where I said those things, but my main beef was her immediate entrance I think. When I read her first post I thought “this feels like a scum entrance” but couldn’t articulate why (or didn’t spend time ob it) so the “tone-read” meant I like some stuff tonally, didn’t like some other stuff

I always shy away form thinking civvies have caught 2 baddies on D1; I've seen it suggested a lot but never seen it really happen (unless of course 1 baddie tries SUPER hard to save the other and basically outs themselves). Sprit was 3rd possible lynch train behind Mac yesterday, so I'm leery.

However, that is my only justification for putting sprit slightly higher on my tier list than others, and I'm fully aware it's a weak one as it's non-thread-based.

Linki: Mac, it seems you and DH are playing different games. But I'm glad we're a friendly bunch!

Sloonei and I were teammates and competing wagons on D2, in Ancient Greece recently, based on the D1. It can happen

That’s some nice stuff you got there. My feelings are basically rounding back to I think he looked scummy against Mac, I think he is teammate compatible with Alien, and I think his treatment of me recently sounds like he wants to keep me in play as a suspect without actually being able to say why.

I think sprit is bad.

I don’t think I waffled.

My argument against that is like, why the fuck are you voting based on process of elimination and not actual evidence in the thread though.
Maybe we’re using POE to mean different things, but I’m saying “I have assessed the evidence in the thread, determined who I feel are most likely to be Alien’s teammates, and have decided how to proceed through that group based on the evidence.” And I think everyone else is too. If you think it’s random then, well, it’s not.
It's just wrong, not random, OK. Makes more sense.

Why is DH more likely to be scum than Colin? I didn't see much pointing toward him.

Do you see much reason to award town credit to either of us?

Could you expand on this one, Colin? Do you not believe any mafia teammate of Mac would by default have to argue with him early and often?

No, he would, but I think in this context his survival instincts would kick in and he would spend time attempting to persuade others to not vote him, which these interactions didn’t accomplish even for an observer.

Jay's absence from that EOD gives me the willies, tbh.

I think this page is really where Robot starts feeling the heat, starting around 8 p.m. EST or so. If my theory is correct, then Robot wouldn't have wasted time attempting to persuade teammates to vote in his favor, he would have put energy into directly responding to people he felt he could genuinely persuade.

Here Alien seems to be angling to convince Sprit to vote Mac. Townlook for Sprit.

One of many examples of Alien spending time arguing with Mac. Townlook for Mac.

Clarifying/arguing with MP. Townlook for MP. This continues for several posts, so I can't even tinfoil MP as scum even if I wanted to.

Argue with Tsaiah. Points for Tsaiah.

Attempt to persuade me. Points me.

This was less revealing than I hoped it would be; however, it either helps out sprit or shows them as attempting to coordinate votes in-thread, and I think it puts Tsaiah firmly in the town-core. I think this helps ward off from any tinfoil that people may be tempted toward.

Robot also wasn't here to interact with Alien at EOD, so my theory for snuffing out his partners won't extend in that direction, unless she just wasn't posting? But I'm going to check that out now.

abyssum - remarks their perspective on what's going on, and I found their insights useful to analyzing the thread iirc, (though I can't recall an example of that aff the top of my head.
ColinIsCool - Asks a lot of questions and is involved in conversation. Seems okay to me.
DharmaHelper - So I'm sure this read should change if I had read the last 20 pages, but at that point, DH hadn't done anything particularly useful? He seemed like he was gearing up for a Big Statement though.
Infected_alien8_ - Alien... annoys me tbh. Particularly wrt how he kept putting pressure on me and luna that one time.
JaggedJimmyJay - Helpful, asking questions of people, putting pressure down.
Kylemii - I don't have a solid read on them yet. I only recall them talking about one post that took them 3 hours to make. I don't remember what the post was.
Lunalee - I liked her response to my question about mac vs spirityo, and that's what decided my vote.
MacDougall - my negative read on mac initially came from early day 0 joking, and then asserting that he was never joking and this frustrated me. Afterwards he's been a good townie, contributing to game decently well.
Marmot - I haven't seen any Marmot posts.
M Plus 7 - Talkative as usual. day 0 was really willing to give out townreads. that (thankfully) didn't really keep up once he got the power to vote, putting pressure in places he wanted people to talk from.
Russtifinko - Likes ISOs and walls and I appreciate their analyses.
sprityo - In the spate against mac, spirityo came out looking worse.
Tsaiah - On day 0 she seemed super excitable and pure as fuck.
Turnip Head - Not particularly memorable. I don't see much in the way of serious posts in TH's iso.

I'm sympathetic to this list because Robot is new, it's early, and she's busy, but man, does it feel like there's a single ounce of suspicion in this? The yellows and oranges are there by default; sprit is in red as a result of an easy binay where Mac vs. sprit has a winner and a loser. I don't think I like this.

DH keeps commenting on how he hasn't read the thread. This is annoying. I do agree that calling someone a pussy or a coward isn't the same as calling them mafia. That being said, I think JaggedJimmyJay is anything but that.

I'm not liking the JJJ + DH interactions? It reads as both townies, but being really distracting. I'm mostly just annoyed about that, but it doesn't read as scummy from either party.

#1094 - http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 55#p474455

ooooh spirityo has an iso wall of macdougall. Saves me the trouble for now!

Wait, has macdougall not actually posted a bunch of solid argument stuff? I figured it was somewhere in the 7 pages I hadn't read.

I'm not liking this "only person I have a negative read on" bit from spirityo but I'm still not a fan of mac. There's a lot to pick at in this thread. MP's willingness to throw "town" at people, DH's unwillingness to read the thread etc. Anyways, the end of spirityo's post is a bit yelly but he makes a point against Mac that I agree with. I still want to do my own iso because ~bad vibes~

#1104 - http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 7b#p474465

Agree with Kylemii. I hope there's an explanatino for how on eart you get a townread on DH.

pseudo-random-neuron-firing -> where's tsaiah?

#1114 - http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com/viewto ... 80#p474480

wonderful, mac responded to spirityo's post. I should also answer those questions when I get around to it, because idk who I believe less tbh, spirityo or mac.

I feel like I should address the "melted like butter on a hot plate" thing but idk what to really say. I intend to take more of a look at Mac later? I probably should have done this last night instead of getting distracted but also whatever the past is in the past.

I... keep skimming over MP's posts. Sorry! I'll probably read what you have to say... eventually!

What about the 'only person I have a negative read on' part don't you like?
maintaining as neutral a stance as possible is pretty scummy. only disliking one person is just barely a step above that. I consider townreads not super relevant to that because it's much easier to say you like someone than you dislike them, you know?

that being said, spirityo hasn't like, demonstrated serious tunnel vision. just not-evaluated-the-rest-of-game vision, which is a pretty reasonable state of being. If they don't start reevaluating townreads, then we'll talk more.

Up to this point in her ISO, "maintaining as neutral a stance as possible" is pretty much how I would describe her reads. Go ahead and check it yourself, this is fairly early on in it, but it seems like while there are some slightly wary comments directed toward MP and DH at this point, almost none of it is "I think this person is scummy." I want to know if others feel the same way though.
