I just wanted to hear his case for himself but if he doesn't care to make it then whatever
What was he going to tell you from a question like "how does being scumread feel" that would have been impactful to you? I just don't get it. And I don't care for a valid line of questioning being dismissed, either.

This is the third time rdrivera has shown up, voted someone with minimal explanation, and then dipped. Feels sus.

##vote rdrivera2005
don't think it'S RD. That behaviour is pretty normal for him, so that's very NAI
Rdrivera and Control are the two that aren't town (ND was the third) who lazily piled on Dream in the middle of day 1 with nothing to go off of to park their votes. Is that NAI?
maybe I'm wrong, but RD doesn't feel like mafia here to me, especially since he hasn't played with Dream and others have said things about Dream that make him look bad, but are kinda wrong. Like, he's a little bit turned down, but essentially like last game where he was town.

And that RD isn't playing 24/7 this game is well known, as is his low-posting. But contrary to others, he gives logic and reason and has normally high quality posts where he shares his thoughts. I haven't seen anything that makes me suspicious of him, so I don't think he's mafia. Wrong, sure, looking not at the whole picture, but it doesn't feel from him as it's coming from a bad place

I guess it was just poorly phrased then, but what I meant was more like "tell us why we shouldn't vote you off today"

abt the ghug night kill and why it could implicate damo:

assuming it's a respect kill, which seems to be the predominant idea, then as kak has already said there is likely at least one veteran player on the scum team. this could implicate damo since i believe he falls in that category, but not necessarily.

if it isn't a respect kill, though, it almost certainly is damo imo. ghug was lightly pushing him, not enough that it really counts as a legacy but possibly enough for damo to be scared abt it. this was followed today by damo putting forward the idea of the ghug nk being bc he's a good player, which would benefit mafia to become the dominant idea since it obfuscates what is possibly the real reason for the kill

i've learned from last game that i should prob have more confidence in myself/my reads so ##vote damo666

Do you actually have evidence compiled against Dream or were you just trying to talk about yourself?
What does it look like to you.
Uh... the latter!
Fail!

I Might see if I can fix this but this doesn't sound like something I can fix.

generally though i think one of the people pushing the narrative of ghug being a fear kill could be scum, esp damo since he was under a bit of fire from ghug during the night
to explain my town read part i feel like damo as scum seemed to be setting up a few pushes n1 so the fact that he hasn't really followed through with anything inclines me to think him as town. he's also almost never paired with bozo since bozo has been very blatant of grouping them as a unit (for example #564) which feels more like pocketing scum or pocketed town than theater, but still most likely t/t imo
Who was he setting up n1?
ok on retrospect that is just me being self-centered and reading damo's slight read on one of my posts as a push :p

I have no particular scumreads so my voting strategy will be

a) to save mimi

b) if mimi no longer in danger I will vote a lurker
this post d1 reads weird to me; potentially tmi in how he had no scumreads but had a very strong townread (although tbf that's the way i was playing so potentially we just had the same d1 strategy). also could be setting up an easy push on a town or an easy bus if one of the lurkers is indeed scum

so, let me see:
  • brainbomb replaced worcej
  • there are still only two votes on red
  • chaqa is a wagon for decent reasons
  • red neurax is still talking about having 'plans' instead of actually giving reads
  • other than 'control V kinda suspicious'
  • brainbomb... is doing nearly nothing
  • bozo is keeping track of potatoes and doing basically nothing else
  • I have somehow not yet been shitpushed today
Anything else I missed?

I Feel like people may have missed or in general overlooked many of my posts so I have compiled my read on Dream.

The quotes are condensed!

I'm not sure how I could improve it but if you have ideas or really anything tell me.

Restrained how? This is only my second game and I still haven’t really gotten up to scratch on what tells people have in the early game. I have 1-3 suspects but don’t feel strongly enough to vote yet.
It felt like you're actively avoiding making game progressing content.

Who are the 1-3 suspects and why is this your first comment about them?

Suspicions: mimi-Bunny opening could be planned mafia stuff as damo and bo asserted.
How do you think the mimi-Bunny openings are planned per-say?

I Don't think they believe their read on the game open. Don't see where it would come from at all. Very convienient to agree with joke reads instead of making your own tbh.

Elaborate why you read the game open the way you did I suppose as I am not buying it at all.
To be honest, part of it was me being dumb and forgetting Mafia couldn't communicate in their chat right now. I also thought Bunny voting Mimi right away and Mimi voting Foodcoats right away was weird but you're right, that was probably just jokes.
Control V wrote:

I Would like more votes on Dream.

As an additional reason to vote them they are currently acting as if they thought the vote(s) between Bunny and Mimi early were genuine when they had previously spoke of their early interactions as "interacting with each other to avoid suspicion" which doesn't really compute well as a flat-out bus if you think they thought it was a genuine push for some reason.
I plead guilty to not noticing your practically nonexistent progression on dream

I haven't seen a ton of logic and reason or high quality posts, but I have barely noticed anything from him since the middle of day 1. Maybe I need to reread.

I am pretty tired of the "he doesn't play that hard or care that much normally, so it's fine" thing. Town or not, that shouldn't be fine.
