How's that? You mean the vote? That's the new D1 tradition between BSmith and Al Sips I believe, since the events of Futuramafia. They vote each other.
Oh, ok. That makes more sense.

Without meta on Cuth, I can't go past that point on someone who's not generally pinging me on tone.

I want people to make a note of those who are pushing my lynch for "not making a case" and yet totally giving people like Csargo/Al Sips/Riedquat etc. a pass when the only difference seems to be that I'm at least posting more. I'm pretty sure at least one of the people on my wagon, especially those who are using this logic, are scum looking for an easy victim.

If you're a villager, sure. Who are these people (besides me)? Why wouldn't you be keeping a list yourself?
I don't know what to do with the non-poster crowd. Unless they make a mistake like choxorn did there's usually nothing to go on. I was hoping for a vig, but there's no sign of one.

Re: Representative Democracy [In Play]
Hankerchief's post about suspecting the people on his wagon is something that lines up with how a villager should act when their wagon starts to pile up but its nothing a competent scum can't do
I've seen glimpses of a villager here and there GH but if you are one I need that one moment that makes me go "yep that's a villager" and I just haven't had one yet
If you are a villager it's me more than it's you, but you haven't exactly given anyone a reason to townread you like just talk about specific people for a bit and interact with me if we can ever find the chance
A big way I get my reads in this game is by constantly interacting with players in hopes of fostering responses that scum are generally incapable of making so

Re: Representative Democracy [In Play]
This appears to be the CONSENSUS READS LIST and not my own:
Cleared by D1
Cass
Dp101
Renata
atheotes
Good vibes
Monstrbro
Winston
Visor
Jabbz
Slightly less good vibes
Zack
Schema
dicetosser
Monty
Monty
Low posters
Csargo
Al Sipsclar
Riedquat
BSmith
Lynchbait
El Barto
GH
Cuthilius
Let's assume four scum. I think, contrary to popular belief, we're going to find at least one in some of the upper categories. Not the topmost obviously, unless there was a serious error in thought during the late stages of D1, but I'm guessing 1-2 in the combined "vibes" categories plus Monty, 1 in the low posters, and 1 in the lynchbait. The reason for this is simple: it's never that easy, and the consensus is never 100% accurate.
If the situation does look to be as rosy for town as it appears, then I'd pin down Schema as a possible maf that's higher up the reads list. Her(?) D2 has shown some warning signs:

And great call, Cass, choosing Dp's vote. Best choice based on EOD.
This was never properly explained and Schema instead in future posts went with the handwave defenses of "for now" and "I have reasons".
There is a decent amount of "I'm not scum partners with Cuth" and attacks on Cuth, which could strike me as a maf doing a partial deflection because she perceives the town as attacking the right target but for the wrong reasons. I don't think it's likely that Schema and Cuth are m/m but if Cuth is the lynch and flips town... well.

Not sure how I feel on the Cuth >> GH lynch vote. Would like to hear from @Zack as to why GH isn't a priority for him, since I'm assuming he has some meta to go off.
@Monstrbro, I believe you asked me my thoughts on Winston? I had iffy feels early in the game but he got townier for me. I haven't seen most of his D2 contributions though so I'll run le iso there today.
Tone feels somewhat off for me (don't like the first paragraph/sentence especially) but this could just be a lack of familiarity with her meta.
Bottom line is though that if the PoE is working but isn't 100% I'm probably shooting Schema.
~~~~~~~~~~
This is a little unorthodox, but I would also not complain if one of the extremely high posters was lynched today (I guess Cuth would count for this as well) just to allow the thread to breathe a bit and see if it makes things any more appealing for the low posters to offer their thoughts without them. If they start being able to contribute, great. If not, we should probably start sharpening our scythes or otherwise it will be as Monstrbro said in 1773.

I won't fight you on that, I remember pretty much only Zack beating the drum about Jabbz getting townread and him openly wondering why there's not more suspicion towards him, so that's what caused me to put Jabbz in the upper vibes tier.

Cuthilius - wait for flip

Jabbs if not already shot, Barto if Jabbz isn't an option

To be more specific, why do you (GH) dismiss the bold, and why does it look like Schema-scum if Cuth is town? What exactly is your relational argument here for opposite alignment, since the relation seems to be the focus?

Going by Monty's tally near the top of Page 59, it looks like my current voters thusfar are you, Monstrbro, and Cuth (I could have sworn that there were more but I guess you always assume the outlook's worse for you than it actually is when votes are staring you in the face). Of the three I don't really see you or Monstrbro being scum so I guess it would be Cuth, but I was speaking more of the general concept.

I still kinda think cuth is a villager. I've done exactly the same stuff as him before in exactly the same position. The problem is that it seems like so much of the thread wants him dead that my voice doesn't really matter so I don't really know how to approach the situation. I mean, even if he's a villager that continues to survive he will just be a wagon again tomorrow 9/10 times so I'm not really sure my opinion matters
I mean, here's your post. You represent it at the outset as being explicitly about "the choxorn affair", and then you talk about everybody involved except yourself. The focus on Visor doesn't come until later.

Let's talk about the Choxorn affair in its sequence:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Early game vote for Zack.
Later entry, with town reads on Renata, Cuth, and GH, expressing agreement with Zack on subject of role claims.
Final post for the time, a comment on Jabbz' posting.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Renata makes her negative assessment of Choxorn's entry (835).
Immediately after, Visor joins in condemning the Choxorn post.
A few minutes later, he posts a comprehensive reads/leans list, marking Renata as lock town for her drawing attention to Choxorn, and making his own read on Choxorn as "wolfy". He puts Choxorn as lynch candidate above only Cuthilius and El Barto. One of his reads is a frivolous comment on Riedquat.
Then Visor makes an addendum to his reads post, for little value. With Riedquat having only one post at the time, there was no point in speaking like this of him, giving leans. "Possibly town" on a hunch???
"Need a few flips" to feel comfortable with reads is unimpressive in itself, all the more so when he had no problem with discomfort throughout the day or immediately prior to this post.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Atheotes remarks that Renata is trending up for her Choxorn case.
Winston finds Renata's flow towny. Winston responds to one of Choxorn's posts with a complaint.
Jabbz responds to Choxorn's lament on textwalls, sticking to his disappointment with Zack.
Cass' notes on Choxorn's main post~.
Monstrbro thinks Renata is town.
Monstrbro comments on Cuth-Chox. Choxorn evaluated overall as barely villagery.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Atheotes votes Choxorn.
Sooh's attack on atheotes gets well underway. This casts a small shadow over her. Renata, Zack, and others defend atheotes. Cuthilius is willing to vote Renata for rep over DP101 as more reliable or robust (999).
Cuthilius finds Renata's reads on Monstrbro towny (991).
Schema sees Renata trending up and acknowledges Choxorn's posts, asks for meta on him.
Schema takes full scum lean on Visor.
Cuth speculates on how scumChox votes. Switches back to voting Sooh shortly after.
DP comes in to put himself up for the Rep position and votes Choxorn (1025)
Sooh finally votes atheotes after this, looks to win the position of District Rep (1047).
Schema likes Sooh and doesn't like Atheotes.
Schema votes Renata for rep (1123).
On page 39, Bsmith changes rep vote to Visor ("to test double vote") and Sooh changes rep vote to Zack.
Atheotes petitions Cass on the lynch.
Sooh hardclaims Watcher (1170).
Chox substantively closes the day by showing up EOD to vote Al Sipsclar, who a bit earlier appeared to make ritual-vote on BSmith and said little else (1175).
All of this looks clearing for DP, Cass, and Renata, and overwhelming in favor of Atheotes on top of previous behavior. But rather than assessing others in relation to them, right now the focus is on how Visor relates to it.
Visor's tone changes notably in his final activity of the day, which comes right after Renata opens the case on Choxorn. His claimed double-vote never manifests. Strikingly, he makes numerous pleas toward prospective Reps to vote Cuth with him. This is striking because even one (of the two other) reps voting with Visor would conceal any double vote effect should it exist, since 2-1 is indistinguishable on our part from 3-1: the result is the same. His calls for consolidation were just meant to erect a front that would give him a pass from putting up.
I'd also like to broach what I was hinting at earlier respecting the claim. Look here at Visor's comment just prior to Chox events that
This is in other words a statement that he would not use his power on D2, toward the end of avoiding a burnout. I think his statement reflects the broader mechanical truth that Pizza would never grant a player, town or Mafia, an unlimited double vote. It could conceivably be more than a one-shot, but at best it would have an alternate-day effect. Visor was laying ground to avert consequences from future inconsistencies, without admitting details of the power. Since Visor went inactive before EOD, and DP had not voted Choxorn yet, and District 1 was still up in the air between Renata, Cuth, and DP, there is no argument that Visor is cleared by virtue of not taking action to save Choxorn, who anyway was killed by tiebreaker ability.
One of Cuth or Visor must be scum, opposite alignment. Who Cuth is in turn sheds light on Sooh, since Cuth was one of the few to carry a renewed push against Sooh late in the day. There is also a technical scenario in which Visor and Cuth were furiously bussing, and Visor never planned to apply special powers to lynch him. However, most players do not like the strategy of intense bussing from D1, and regardless it does not lessen the need to lynch Visor.
Please link me to your two most recent Town and your two most recent Scum games.
Sincerely,
Madame Chancellor

Re: Representative Democracy [In Play]
If anything, I can see the case against cuth because of all my posts earlier today about how he was fighting for sooh to get lynched once the potential wagons became him and choxorn
He didn't seem too enthused about it before then and the switch from sooh came out of nowhere, so him doing it to save himself and a bro from lynch does fit.
If he is a wolf I'm certain barto is a villager, and probably vice versa?
They can still both be villagers too
Cuth wolf flip clears visor/zack 100% pretty much too but if he's a villager i can't really see any benefit from deadding him. No one looks particularly bad from it except MAYBE visor and we don't get much information
Also I am having trouble finding a viable wagon I believe in. I probably just need to get good

Re: Representative Democracy
vote: Montmorency
I mean, I'm not even sure it makes wolfy sense to brazenly just leave your own interactions with the flipped mafia out of a post that purports to be about interactions with the flipped mafia ,but come on this isn't right.
I mean, here's your post. You represent it at the outset as being explicitly about "the choxorn affair", and then you talk about everybody involved except yourself. The focus on Visor doesn't come until later.
It's not comprehensive. Frankly, the exchange between you and me had no bearing on how players related to Choxorn and how that in turn could relate to Visor.

Why isn't it a wash, either?
Let me clear up the bolded sentence you quoted.
(This is a universe where Schema is maf but Cuth is town)
The sequence of votes is that Cuth has votes and Schema's taking some heat.
Schema sees, whether real or imagined, people linking her to Cuth.
Schema wants to defend this, makes a couple of posts saying the link to her and Cuth is off base.
Partial defenses always ring truer than entirely fabricated defenses, Schema takes the tactic that "we can't be M/M because X Y and Z", that part she mostly focuses on is her affiliation with Cuth, that's not a lie (they're not M/M together) so all's good.
~~~~~~
In a universe where Cuth *is* scum then Schema's stated defense makes sense and I don't see them being mafia together.

Of the three I don't really see you or Monstrbro being scum so I guess it would be Cuth, but I was speaking more of the general concept.
So you were just warning people off from voting you in general, lest they look scummy for it? :inquisitive:

Most who expressed a towny vibe for dice got that from his vociferous semantic opposition to my claiming that some players are "clear" or "lock town", and so on.

Cass, I haven't drawn a wolf role in five years. Here's one game I bookmarked from Straight Dope a few weeks ago when I anticipated getting questions like this. I have no idea if it's representative of how I'd play today; I suspect that in at least some ways it's not. But it's all I have. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...ighlight=mafia I'm playing as "Normal Phase". It's a win in F5, no iso because the site doesn't support it.
Not sure what you plan to do with all of this, but gl!

Connective suggestions/analyses are awesome and insightful as to possibilities, but they don't really give me your opinion/require you to give an actual opinion on a particular player's alignment at the time.
This approach is either:
Towny cos you're trying to see how everything may fit (but it's dangerous cos lol connective-tinfoil-ahead-of-flips-and-time(I-so-hate-that-I-always-fall-into-this-trap-as-well); or
Scummy cos it helps make it look like you're working without pinning you down to a connection between you and said player at a given time.
At this point I have no idea which. Your ISO is huge and scary and full of things like that, silly pokester-always-poking-maybe-never-pushing.
If you're a wolf I want to catch you. If you're Villager I want to have those AHA! moments that you're Town.
I don't care if you hunt for Villagers more, I know that's your style. Just read his ISO and tell me if you'd want him in your Town core, or if he's someone you're not comfortable with and are leaving outside.
Mont/other players in contention could end up flipping this phase.
Unless I have your actual read of them on record I can't judge your stance of them retrospectively.
Even if you can't make a decision on a player's whole alignment, give me post-specific alignment reads. "This post Towny because (insert what you're thinking about the matter)...." "This post Scummy because (insert what you're thinking about the matter)...."
Pretty please.

Directed at you. I don't know if you glossing over your own questioning of my vote on choxorn is something a wolf is more likely to do or not, to be honest -- the motive is obvious; the benefit if caught at it is not -- but it offends my sense of 'all cards on the table' townieness.
