I would like to take one more try at selling a damo daykill.

damo has been doing little of value (Yea yea, pot, kettle, I know) and is anchoring and dipping a second day in a row (Though it is true that EoD time is not friendly to some subsets of people), I think there is a very high chance damo will continue that for the entire game were VCA on them is gonna be fuckin pointless.

Both dead townies were sus of damo. Damo thinks he is entitled to double standards.

If damo doesn't take off, I will be consolidating onto Vecna. Jamie had a decent case on Fox and Vecna has done very little.

if I use the above theory and cross-reference it with my reads at this point, I think this is where I'm at right now:

Pool 1 (would vote as a preference):
BusinessLamp
celaph
DemonRHK
Donny Dude
Hellenic Riot
Maniac
TheFlyingBoat

Pool 2 ( would vote over Pool 3, but have some mild town vibes):
bozotheclown
damo666
goldfinger0303

Pool 3 (town reads and players unlikely to roleblock me)
BobMcBob
Bonatogether
Durga
Vecna
ghug
Jamiet99uk
kgray
rdrivera2005

I've got major misgivings on the Bob wagon.

I think I like celaph and TFB today.

Why have I done very little?

apparently ive done quite a lot, because you have a swath of people defending you and attacking me over my "bad meta-read".

Pretty icky to mention nothing off it, and then just refer to jamiet's case on me.

On the bot, you can do a search for "d1-d2" and get all of it

With RHK I presume you meant you can't seem him doing the weird data thing as scum?

I do like the Bob re-eval even though I don't hold the same confidence in it as you do.

With Foxna, I think you understate the issues with Foxcastle's case and I get the feeling you are trying to kill the wagon while also still maintaining cover in case he does flip scum. Don't like this

According to you, Damo is pretty easy to read eventually (justification proffered to keep him alive both when you were scum and town iirc even when he looks bad). When do you think Damo will out himself to you? What makes him just seem bad town instead of scum?

Jamie, rd. Sure

HR ??? What was the basis under which you wanted to kill him in the first place? Maybe I missed it when I was following along, but I don't recall much other than you finding it weird he was on at EoD?

Me - yeah, I've sucked today. Should be better over the weekend when I have more time.


Anyways, questions regarding the ordering (since I do appreciate you ordering it), what makes you have Jamie below Vecna? I get being peeved by the perceived coasting, but that seems like a precipitous drop without the commensurate scummy behavior I would expect to justify it.

Next, why is Lamp so high in your list? I get the townread, he's done a lot of townie things and behaved far more experienced than you'd expect for someone that says they're brand new to forum mafia. I may be misremembering this but I think you mentioned you didn't like the Bona switch onto me at the end of they day as opposed to switching onto an actual counter wagon. Why do you not apply this same standard to lamp?
RHK - Yes

Vecna - Nah, it's a weak case.

Damo - Town damo is thinking about the game, his thought processes just don't make sense. Scum damo fakes this, and one can usually determine that there isn't a thought process.

HR - The activity at EoD was part of it. The fact that he spent the whole time shading every counter to Flum without really focusing on whether he scumread Flum, and specifically the way he generated his townread on Bob makes him look scummy.

Jamie - I scumread him yesterday too, so it's not a precipitous drop. I think the push on Flum is marginally more likely to come from scum Jamie than town Jamie, and he hasn't done anything else to impress me.

Lamp - I think the desire to get on the wagon you feel is best at the end is more likely to be legitimate coming from someone who's not used to playing mafia, and his stated preference was you or Flum rather than a flip from Flum to not Flum, so the whole thing irks me less than Bona's or RHK's vote. I appreciate the skepticism, as he'd definitely be better than most new players as scum, but I still think he's town.
How does this view change knowing now that Lamp is NOT a new player? As an aside, I feel kinda dumb for feeling like Perry Mason when I declared in my opinion that he was hiding the fact that he had played elsewhere before based on the heuristics he was employing not matching up with that of a supposed rookie/new player. Turns out he did say he played on MS before. Lol.
I said "not used to playing mafia". Having kept up with the thread, I remembered him saying he'd played before.

I'd vote for him over Bob or RHK though.
ghug what do you think of Bob doing an ISO of me while "Expecting to scumread me" and then somehow being surprised that he did?

I agree on RHK - their meta is too similar as both town and scum, and while I'm not ruling out the possibility of them being scum, there's better marks today. Vecna I'm still not sold on though.
It was rhetorical, mostly, as is your framing of it. Uninteresting.

I purport that we're impossible scumbuddies because Boat's questionable assertion that we're impossible scumbuddies isn't one he'd make if we were scumbuddies.

Comparing D1 activity to D2, it's interesting how much of a difference there is for some people. Notable ones include Bona (massive drop), Damo (moderate increase), and TFB (moderate decrease).

Fine, but does the guy seem unused to play mafia? He has seemed rather adept and attuned to various heuristics and displayed a certain style that doesn't seem indicative of someone who is gripped by rust or feels particularly lost.

He absolutely feels gripped by rust. He's clearly highly competent, but he does and says things that don't quite fit with the meta. You're also ignoring the other part of the argument, which is that his switch to the non-main counterwagon makes more sense given his stated preference for killing you or Flum rather than just not killing Flum.

That's stupid, I've made that argument about a scumbuddy in most of my scumgames.

reading TFB the thing that stands out to me is the repeated need to mention "i did my own research on flum, i could've been lazy, but i wasn't!!!"
Now so far, I like Blamp and still think he is slight town, but if it comes late in the game and I am dead and Blamp is around and looking kinda sus, people should come back to this and look to the potential it is the latter option.
this sentence from night post reads as town because of the scenario, but i guess that's pretty easy to fake.

overall his stance on me is a bit sketchy. it reads as like "i know that lamp is towny... but mayyyybeee he isnt? i get that he's townie, but he's also null. we should keep an eye on him."

@TFB how much of your weariness towards me is because i tried to push votes on you at EOD yesterday?
