tbh now my list is a little different now that there are a few new posts and I've read what I missed rather than just skimming it:
Evan/toads/Farobi/Oath/Panda/bianca/Ness/f11
Taking Luniel out because I have a feeling they're the one Tina is looking for a replacement for. If not, they'll go back on it. I'll explain some of these a little more in-depth:
Evan - There's a lot about Evan that I find suspicious. Primarily, it still stands that he is saying everything town would want to hear and tried at every turn to sound like he was making the most logical observation throughout the day. He went after oath after I made a post against him, then he voteswitched to Sensei and their reason being 'I want oath gone but sensei reacted badly and had illogical reasoning' which indeed seems like an easy reasoning on joining the bandwagon. Post #425 was weird and really out of place:
Because I feel generous, here?s a foolproof guide on reading me.
If I say something that mechanically or grammatically sounds scummy, 3/4 times it?s just town me being stupid and not proofing my posts so I don?t get scumread.
If I make a giant, hard to believe roleclaim before EoD, 50/50 odds I?m town or scum.
If I?m trying to lead various lynches on people who end up being town, I?m 75% likely to be scum.
Which scenario am I right now? I firmly know it?s the first one
Nobody asked for a foolproof guide on reading him so him providing it is distracting and just seems off.
Toads- 3rd? How about 2nd now. Not only do I not like the way you led that lynch against Sensei, but it was based on how they were reacting and it was kinda obvious that it wasn't necessarily a clear scumtell in terms of reaction but what annoys me the most about it is that people weren't listening to what I was saying about you, Evan, and Oath and just bandwagoned this, so I thank you for some of that result. That being said it still stands that you were saying everything you think town wanted to hear in a similar way to Evan. You criticized people who jumped on your own bandwagon which says to town 'hey I made a mistake but look at how people bandwagoned me, scum's could be there, let's scumhunt there!', which also echoes what Jacob had to say about it as well, which I very much agree with. That and saying Farobi RNGing Locket would be a suicidal move as scum made no sense and was a weird way to read them as town.
Farobi - In general, I feel like them doing the RNG was done as a means to distract town and try to seem townish by getting discussion going and using a newbie in doing so. You can keep doing a random number generator over and over again until you get the number you want for the screenshot so that can easily be fabricated as well, because it ending up on a newb just seems to convenient, because newer players often react badly in situations like these and lead to getting people suspicious of them. Not only this, but he randomly threw an incorrect accusation at Heyden. They went after f11 and stuck to it despite other players in the game coasting in a similar fashion, and I've seen people make a vote like this as scum to stay out of a bandwagon they know is incorrect and in doing so it makes them come off as somebody taking their own stances. Their suspicions of me are also straight dumb. And I don't like the last post they made. It's excuse making. The time it took to type that small paragraph could have been spent giving a quick answer on why he townleaned Evan and why he didn't include Luniel in his list of inactive people to call out.
Oath- I will say that I'm keeping him on here for staying on that Sensei suspicion, potentially teaming with toads on it, because I wasn't a fan of his reason for wanting to suspect Sensei in the first place. Not only that but I still dislike the big post full of null reads. That, and his reaction to me grilling him was a strong appeal to emotion and he seemed to buckle to the pressure I put on him immediately and raged.
5. How do you handle pressure? Well.
So much for that lol. That being said something also feels honest in regards to him raging specifically about being criticized over being active on the first day, which is really unsual for his meta, because he
did clarify in his rqs that he'd be active in this game. I think if toads is mafia, Oath could be mafia. If Oath is town, I'm looking at Evan, Kit, and Trundle. Evan bw'd me and voteswitched when convenient, Kit just jumped on Oath as well, and Trundle was like 'lol oath is active, must mean he's mafia'.
Panda- If Luniel is the one about to be replaced, then I still don't like Panda voting for them and going after somebody who is very inactive like that, it would match up with Farobi, voting somebody not in focus at all in order to stay out of the bandwagon pool or indicate alignments too much given how little there is to read of Luniel. All she voted Luni for is a 'scum slip' in their rqs, was really uneasy and casual in deflecting the heat that was brought on her because of her RQS answer. I still don't like that RQS answer as well.
bianca- I'm not a huge fan of the fact that she placeholder voted against Ness and then went quiet for most of the game. I know she does this almost every game as a joke but doing such a thing is good insurance and in a situation where you have to vote every day, she could be cashing in on that insurance by voting, not getting modkilled, and being quiet and sliding by without drawing much attention to herself because she's not great at being scum given how poorly she handled pressure as
town. That way, she lives another day, keeps KP for mafia up in doing so.
Ness- in general, something about him doesn't feel right, maybe I'm overestimating him as town? I feel like he's one of the better players on tbt now so for him to jump on the Sensei lynch and not see through it was crap. I mean he did make that mistake on Evan in a previous game as town but agreed with some of it as well and it was based on reactions as well. Still, he seems to suspect me but not want to be out with why yet, and if you have to take that long to prepare a case against me something is contrived. A little defensive on my part but I see no scummy behavior on my part, or even behavior that town would logically read as scummy. I'm also just not a fan of his townreads in general.
f11- I'm leaving crys at the bottom because she coasts as both town and mafia in early game, but if she's kept alive towards the end and she's town, she eventually starts becoming a voice of reason because she is one of the few town left who has been through a good game or two and has a good idea on people's meta.
If I'm going to tackle this game from an alignment standpoint I can see
Evan/toads/bianca/maybeoathbuthe'santibianca
Farobi/Panda/Oath
Farobi/Ness
Evan/Kit/Trundle/bianca (Oath as town theory)

Aaaaand I get ninja'd because someone made a big post when I was making a big post.
But L M F A O at the both of you going after me for putting an 8 member scum team suspicion up. I'm clearly not saying that's the entire team, as is indicated by the alignment breakdowns at the end of my last big post I just made. It's a list of 8 people I find to be suspicious, changing every so often with new information. How that makes me in any way scummy I'd love for you to explain.
