evan is def above the unskilled lvl

lolol I've met minimum mafia standards, progress bois
 
Computer froze on mobile again
@natty, I initially thought the maf was generally inexperienced players but its probably more likely a lurky, inactive bunch. I don't even wanna say lurky because thats not the right word but definitely quieter, like theyre letting people dispute amounst themselves and watching. although naturally i dont know the intentions behind literally anything someone else does so it kinda unfair for me to base experience off of the kills or whatever. I'm just trying to make connections :/

As for you being on my scum pool, also evan and Hikari, its not an outcome of your specific actions perse because you havent done anything that I'd consider a scum slip. but very seldom that actually happens with a lot of players, especially you guys because I know you profread your messages before you post them. I'm basing the scum pool around other people's tells, who are far less likely to be mafia than you in my opinion. And as I go through my head the multiple different scenerios for scum team, You Hikari and Evan are the 3 people who slip my radaar most consistently. Hikari slips because I'm not seeing a lot of ppsts from them, Evan slips because he isn't the attention point of any specific conversations, and you slip because you're playing reserved yet engged. Which actually if I'm being quite honest is out of the ordinary for you, but I'm not ready to go back to other games and compare because META has served me so wrong in the past. So when I speculate about the mafia being quiet or avoiding spotlight, and I've been on quiet mafia teams and won, you three not only fit the bill for me but are also part of 2/3 playerlist that isn't confirmed any role, soft or hard. It's all a guess for me but I feel like its logical, I did the math anyhow, statistically for every 3.75 people I guess, one of them is likely mafia. Waffles I'm 99% certain is, so I narrowed down my guess pool tight to you 3, which is where I got the 2/4 of you guys is probably scum. And I stand by my thoughts now, not my thoughts day 1

im RAMBLING lol im sorry
 
I'm typing this on mobile, but Jacob I suggest you go reread the interaction between Byngo and Rune. There's kinda a tell there that makes me think they're not connected.

Also I would argue that this isn't scum Byngo we're dealing with.
 
Edit: I forgot to mention that I do think both Byngo and Evan are good players, Hikari I'm sure is good as well but is more like in not having played in a long while. Id say thats a prett balanced scum team.

@Ness, I will thanks for the suggest- when it becomes time to actually decide on a lynch outside of Waffles I'll be cutting down on actual red flags

Theres so much going through my head right that I'm trying to get on the page, so I appologize if my posts are getting annoying. As I'm writing I'm begining to realize new things, so I'm just going to go to sleep now and try again with this tomorrow after my thoughts have marinated lol

Ugh, one last thing. Reading back, I didn't mean this as in Rune or Hikari aren't good because they havent played in a while, I meant to say like I'm not familiar with their play style, as I'm sure not a lot of people are. From what I read of the older games theyre both visibly logical players
 
Ok I'm home, it's obviously mafia sending those '____ is mafia' unless it's some dick head town having a laugh, so best ignore them. The fact they bold red-ed it this time looks like they're trying way too hard, but I think it's an attempted reverse psychology and Waffles is still probably scum.

As of now my townlocks are Ness/Vanessa/Byngo/Glow.

Dad/Bianca/Locket/Toads/Hikari I feel are all town honestly idfk I'm being pretty naive about this but I honestly don't have the time to participate as much as I'd want to bc of school, hence trying to soft cop and get killed but I was saved so w/e ?\_(ツ)_/?

Leaving Jacob/Waffles/Evan, so yeah. I'm not sure that's a very balanced scum team though so maybe Dad? These reads are all pivoted on Toads being town tbh so if he's scum then I'm screwed.

Keep note that scum losing a member today will drop the KP to 1, not entirely sure they'll be bussing each other.

Heyo ladies and scumbagwhy is my name there in msg what the ****s going stop ****ing framing me ffs and im not the oracle you guys talking about
 
I get Jacob and Heyden's points; PoE and the fact I'm not too "out there" dictates I'm scum necessarily, right?

Well after Waffles flips red and you maybe get on me the next day, I'd be happy to claim. Like I said, I'm not anyone important, but it is confirmable.

and yes, trundle, open thread pl0x
 
I hate power outages because I love power.

Only new information I'm seeing is that Ness got a message with Waffles being scum, nobody is coming out to claim an inspecting role or anything similar to the caroler role I mentioned earlier. Also Heyden claims to have been protected from a kill. Punchy was a killing of a clear-player. Honestly I think this is the result of there being another messenger and that Locket was weak town targeted by mafia with that message to Bianca. But Ness being the message target and Waffles being the 'mafia' shortly after Ness made a case against her seems odd. If this is a team of 4 inexperienced mafia players I could see this as a really weak attempt to get the vulnerable Waffles lynched.

But what do I really think is going on? I think there's a mafia messenger, Locket was legit town targeted to seem like a displaced inspection result or in the least incite chaos, and Waffles is a reverse-psychology situation. Waffles seems like it's almost too forced of a choice for their message of who 'mafia' is and I think they want us to realize that and draw that conclusion that it's too convenient of a choice and that we'll townread Waffles because of it. Because I don't think even a team with at least one or two mid-tear players and no experienced players would even do something that obvious and expect some of us alive to swallow it.

It's really frustrating because I had a behavioral scumread on Locket in addition to the message but now I'm not quite so sure. Indeed, if there's a cop who inspected both of these people and for some reason it's displaced, you should out. If there's a custom role that legitimately inspects someone, you should out. Because that'll have us at 3/4 of the mafia out of the way. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure this is a messenger situation though. And that maybe my reads on Locket were wrong and by extension I need to re-evaluate Jacob and glow but with the latter I still get a bad feeling.

My pool is now Waffles/glow/Jacob/Bianca/Byngo/Hikari in order of sus.

Also I'm glad Heyden continues to think like me in games, noticed they brought up reverse psychology as well.

But Heyden why do you townlock glow and yet scumread Evan?
 
uumm i have my name in black ad role in green..so im townlocked too yes

No because like millers frequently have their role in black so if he was lying he would have said black

A politician and attorney from Texas

The fact that she wouldn't even say her role-name makes me think its a politician that is very obviously mafia
 
The possibly "fabricated" return as mafia results - You really can't be too sure about this, because a mafia "inspection" result is a result, and there is the possibility it could be real. But heres my theory: It's already been speculated and pretty universally decided (I think) that the messages were fake. They aren't even in the same format with the colors. Besides, would trundle even word it like that? ____ Is Mafia. Would he not say something like _____ Came back as Mafia-Alligned or _______ Shows red blood or something more formal than just "is Mafia"? I think Locket's was a lie, the mafia wrote a message and sent it out to Bianca, thinking she'd believe it or something, and failing to color the word mafia as a normal host would. Then they thought that since no one believed the first message about Locket (as we didn't vote her), they sent a similar one about a scum partner, Waffles, changing up the format thinking people wouldn't believe it as well.

This is what I was trying to explain earlier (mainly to myself, maybe to others, I don't know.)

I'm sending my vote in for Waffles, though it might change later.
 
Um why is the oracle not coming forward knowing that there is a doctor (i.e.e heyden got saved)..don't be afraid..the doctor will save you!

or Locket is really mafia and its a gamble because everyone will not believe me anyways, so after this , Locket will be spared..and from then on go unnoticed until Mafia wins

How much convincing will it take you to realize that I am Jeb Bush? I'm a Vanilla Townie. I don't have any powers. The message you got was fake.
 
@Bianca cuz """oracle""" is probably spy, or is afraid of the mass sus that will be directed their way upon claiming.

If there is a legitimate oracle, and your results are not fabricated, now's a great time to out. Otherwise, I will keep operating on the basis that the messages are bull (though the waffles one is probably reverse psychology)
