For the town part you're generally correct, but I think you're oversimplifying the mafia's job. There's a lot more nuance to it, working on multiple levels to ensure both short and longterm success.

Luckily all I have to do is just say what's on my mind this game.

Show me the good stuff, GH.

Exciting stuff is happening. Catching only snippets Fredwood came out townie and GH came out awkward. Not sure if scummy though.

I can understand someone not voting their top scumread. For example logic has at least one "pseudo-vote" from Winston and I wouldn't mind going there myself. But I want to see a counterwagon and see how it develops and who's on it. Even though I haven't felt great about zack I can say that his 3 person wagon is not cool.
@GeneralHanderkerchief

Townpile.

What Zack has been doing with the early towncred looks worse and worse. I think he's trying to manipulate the town from his lofty perch in most people's town piles, and push bad lynches and defend the correct lynchees, since he won't get punished for it.

Not GH at all, I don't think. Not Barto this early. I feel like he's just vulnerable and a possible get for the scums.

Otherwise we're really in close agreement.

I don't care for this either.

What do you think of Choxorn?

Conservative, lacks juice.

**Montmorency** · 10-07-2017, 01:43

Can you clarify the ordering in those piles, if they are ordered?

Townpile order was deliberate, others were in order of recollection.

I think you and logic are the only ones that low on Kage. Anything specific there?

Slaan easily town, reinoe still easily town too imo.

No bad vibes from Kage or Cuth at all.

Not much from Xiahou but given the lack of pressure on him, and the attention so focused elsewhere, the thread is a field of dreams for a scum to plop themselves in and get a bunch of posts out there so they are not even being considered. It's such a level 1 move.

I don't think Xiahou's lack of posting is something that should be held against him. He's gonna come out and my prediction is he'll end up town when he does. His couple of posts were also nice. Not enough to town read but they were good.
