Even though it was 5 days ago when I reread how Sonia "explained" her fos on me by quoting random lines and acting like she was too clever to understand I'm still annoyed. Case in point:

Why would a member of the mafia out their pr reads? Seems to me like you're using my actions as an excuse to push on me rather than a reason to.




Vote Yoyo

Okay, I think i've had enough content from everyone so far except from maybe papuito/antikrist, lonerism to FINALLY post a full reads list. Most people who did one I feel would be forced cause we finally have actual reactions to death and not just yelling at each other day 1 or day 2 when SK was confirmed. I'll post it in a bit.

okay hi sorry i hadn't been on yet, i'm in EST and had my job orientation 10-2. but hey! i'm not dead! *chucks up deuces*

anyway i'm kind of townreading yoyo a bit but i'm not entirely sold on it yet. what are the reasons for people saying he's maf? and i haven't seen much scummy from gerry so i don't know why people are pushing on him so much.

Mori says

On first read, I agree Ned's start was forced. I felt this way during FM16, which made him my first vote. But then he towntold his off so I unvoted.

He ended up being mafia.



imsohappy says

okay so i'm fairly certain that N1ed flipped town here, and so did Arcbell.

Arcbell says

i just thought about it a bit and i think izzy is town for this reason:

mafia can communicate outside the game

izzy is basing her entire gameplay on not knowing what's going on and needing a helping hand. if she's mafia, she's just faking all this because she has a team she can ask in a skype chat so she's just playing like this to towntell. too elaborate and at the end of the day pretty ineffective strategy to devote yourself to as mafia because people don't tend to tr that sort of play very much.

better explanation: she really does feel kinda lost here, and needs to ask me or others about the game, which implies she's either town or smart enough to avoid asking her partners things to make her behavior more natural.

tl;dr more likely town than not so we're not lynching her


This was a clever point made by Arcbell, at the time I thought there was a small chance that they were in a mafia meeting together and that he was telling her to say this to set this up, but now that Arc has been shown to not be scum I think it becomes relevant and is a good enough reason to townread Izzy. Among other reasons at least.

Also, Arcbell's lines lead me to think that he is town more than scum, so that's something else you've got

ThirdAug is probably a slight tr for me so basically your three scumreads are possibly 3 town.

ThirdAug says

I'm currently voted by groundhogday, UltraAug, and Arcbell


Arcbell - hardcore grudge lyncher, will provide evidence if asked

groundhogday - all he did was claim to have a gun this entire day

UltraAug - didn't even bother reading this fake


sounds legit and no one even answered my other question: WHERE DID THE "GUN" EVEN COME FROM


Is this what backpedaling after accidently pushing on your partner looks like?
