After re-reading, I'm pretty sureKidAmnis mafia.
He has some contradictions in his filter that are difficult for me to reconcile from a town perspective.
He's pretty critical of people "coasting", but that's basically what he's doing himself this game. He has 16 posts, most of which were made while defending himself from my early-game push against him. Scum love to criticize town for fucking up, but do nothing themselves to help the situation.In post 276, KidAmn wrote:
I know, I do have a relatively busy life outside of this site though, especially on weekends.In post 254, Aubrey wrote:Kid needs to make re-showing too.
Far too many people coasting along not posting at all right now.F.E.C.'s complete lack of any content and then suddenly 4 posts in a row attacking Aubrey and Creature is all kinds of weird and feels a lot like someone maintaining the absolute minimum required to stay in the game - whether or not that's "scummy" is hard to say, but it's an incredibly anti-town way to play (and yes, there is a difference between "anti-town" and "scummy".
...
Secondly, probably the most substantial thing he has in his filter deals with his "read" on Creature:In post 276, KidAmn wrote: Similarly something feels off to me about Creature - the rather blasé nature of their posting, throwing out town and scum-reads with little to no reasoning (looking at their ISO, their longest post is a whole 3 lines?)... it just comes across as the opposite of "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" - and certainly not a tale told by an idiot. It's deliberate and I dislike it, but unfortunately it matches up with looking at their posting in a couple of other games I've looked at. Having Allomancer as one of their scumreads despite them being so inactive they've picked up a prod also feels lazy as hell, as if they're covering themselves by saying "I had a scumread on Allomancer" for if/when a "fuck it, get rid of these lurkers" wagon happens.
In the first post, he calls Creature mafia for questionable reasons. This isn't inherently scummy - I'd understand why a less experienced townie could call Creature mafia for his posting style.In post 278, KidAmn wrote:I've been driving the wife around all day, cut a fella some slack on the meme game.
As for the vote - Honestly, right now I could go for F.E.C. or Creature, but I'm willing to give both a chance to respond (Creature more-so as my issue with him seems to just behow he plays). Moogin needs to contribute way more than they have so far, so not disagreeable to putting some pressure there either.
However the second post is quite scummy.He mentions supporting a vote on Creature, while giving good reasons to call creature town. He then finishes off by throwing Shade at a 3rd player. It's very hard for me to see this post coming from town.
The thought process of a townie is "I think <player> is mafia, therefore I should vote <player>."
NOT
"<Player> can be town for <reasons>, but I'm cool with voting him anyway."
That's not a town mentality. Town want to lynch players that they're suspicious of, not players who they have reasons to think are NOT suspicious.
There's no mention of why he thinks Creature could be more likely mafia than town. He basically acknowledges that all of his reasons to vote Creature are non alignment indicative, yet he clearly states that he would vote him.A TeamLiquid Mafia journeyman.

Just in general, the posting-to-content ration of KidAmn is pretty off.
He spends a lot of time substantiating a non-read on Creature, defending himself from me, and criticizing Aubury's use of self-meta while doing absolutely nothing himself. The cherry on top is that he accuses too many people in the game of coasting.

still is probably my second strongest read. I did not like his "wall-o-text" catchup post in the least bit. It's like he made it intentionally super hard to read, while criticizing OoO's wall for being hard-to-read.Fitz
Though two things give me pause (and have me wanting KidAmn dead first):
1) Multiple people have been complaining about OoO's post-length, which makes it possible that being anti-wall-of-text is some standard mafiascum meta thing.
2) I've seen townies do the "post while catching up wall-of-text" before, and they always read as very awkward/scummy to me.
I think there's a chance that Fitz is just a really awkward poster. Not a large chance, but certainly more of a chance than KidAmn.A TeamLiquid Mafia journeyman.

I don't have strong mafia conclusions for #3. My best guess isKop, because a lot of the "paranoid about Aburey" stuff reads as a front for activity. I also see Kop asking a lot of questions but drawing very few conclusions. The stuff he posted on Moogin is also hypocritical:
For as much as he criticizes Moogin for not having scumreads, Kop actually doesn't have any documented scumreads of his own outside of the Aubrey early game thing.In post 289, Kop wrote:
Can you specify why you think they are town? Because if you have read through you'd have at least a few scum reads along with your town. It shouldn't take someone to prod you to find out where you are in terms of who you suspect.In post 282, MooginSoosy wrote:Hi, sorry, I know I said I was going to post more and then I disappeared. Last night and this morning got really busy so I didnt have time to participate. I'm free all weekend so I'll be on way more.
I think OoO and rels are town. I'm leaning towards creature being town as well.
I know it's scummy to not post or post sporadically, but I'm here now and I'll be here all weekend
Other than that,Creature, Doomfeather, Aubry, and OoO are prob-town.
- Creature's play is very loose and fearless so far. Posts like #241 show an impatience and desire for progress that's very genuine.
- Aubrey is clearly thinking about the game beyond a surface level. #367 for example, is very unnecessary from Aubrey from a scum perspective. She has very little reason to narrow down her lynch options when town-sentiment is otherwise. Lot's of other posts like that in her filter, where she's very clearly considering both sides of an issue.
- OoO has been the driving force behind the game so far, and that's incredibly difficult for mafia to fake. I've seen games where OoO was active and the lead poster as mafia, but noneso in a way as productive as this. In dealing with lurkers for example (Moogin, Kop, etc.), he's questioning them and trying to figure out their alignment rather than trying to actively discredit them.
- Doomfeather is just all-over-the-place in a very townie way. He's probably voted the entire player list, and seems like he's trying (but doesn't have it quite together). His posting reads a lot like a paranoid stream-of-consciousness.
I don't have significant thoughts or opinions on the rest of the playerlist.A TeamLiquid Mafia journeyman.

What do you mean? None of my reads are based on timelines or anything of that sort. I'm reading KidAmn and Fitz as mafia based on how they portray themselves in individual posts vs. their actions in the rest of their filter. I think Kop is suspicious because he's reading Moogin as mafia for something that could be said about his filter.In post 456, outoforder wrote:Hapa.

I'm going to copy what fitz does and organize things by page.
This is quite an interesting point. I'll keep it in mind.In post 378, outoforder wrote:Well to be fair Hawk is not right on what he says about MooginSoosy's vote on doomfeathers. Still i don't agree with the reasoning.
Ugh i just thought about what you said Aubrey. Idk... Yeah idk, maybe there is none. Like i have seen scum do that but you're right. I'd still like her to explain how she comes to the latter conclusions based on the same posts she came to other conclusions before. Logically it doesn't make sense from any perspective and from my experience when something makes no sense from any perspective it's usually mafia -- as townies do not know why mafia comes to the conclusions the do, as they have more information than townies do.
I hope things improve! Nice to meet you!
I'm confused. Are you talking about voting OOO in the beginning or the proposed townbloc later? Does the fact that I immediately unvoted OOO and refused to bloc change your read on me at all?In post 386, MooginSoosy wrote:
Just because I don't like something doesn't mean you're scum. I think you're making the game easy for rels to latch onto you by having that early association.In post 372, outoforder wrote:

How easy it would be for a scum rels to buddy up with OoO right away just because they know each other from another game. I liked his interaction with creature but I think he backed off too easily. Then to suddenly agree to a townblock with creature, OoO and doom (though he was iffy on doom still). I think one of them is latching onto that group to fly under the radar
I think rels is the most likely to latch on and I think creature or doom could also be riding that wave.
Sillier in what way? Are you saying it makes him more or less likely to be scum?In post 390, Aubrey wrote:ewwwww, I forgot mafia have day talk. <----- not the biggest fan of day talk.
That's going to change up my thinking a bit, and makes OOO's psychic connection with Reels even sillier now.

These two lists are practically identical. It could be similar townie thought processes, or sheeping, or synchronized scum. I don't think it's two scum, but it could be. It somehow seems less likely since scum have daytalk.In post 398, Rels wrote:Caught up.

Well now I think rels is more town, no need to phrase it in the way you did. Looking from before the weekend and after the weekend makes a huge difference for rels. Like no I'm not going to think he's 100% but that was nice explanation for hapa for me.In post 405, Hawk wrote:
Moogin are you gonna give your read on Rels especially since Rels came in with some very nice aggressive scumhunting here? Can you give a read on Hapa as well while your at it since you said you didn't understand why people thought Hapa was scummy?
The hardest thing to wrap my head around for hapa is the fact that they're looking to past games which I cannot look at? So no I still don't see scum hapa but I also don't see town hapa.

OK...apologies for cutting my catch up short. I'm typically v/LA on weekends and Friday I had to go pick someone at the airport, hence the abrupt stop.
Also...I realize these catch ups I do are not generally well received but I do them in a stream of consciousness to give other players a sense of what is catching my attention as I'm reading.
Spoiler: Catch up from page 6-19
Rels...people work at their own pace. ASAP means exactly what it means....as soon as I focking can. Which is now.
So I'm caught up as of hana's Page 19 vote on KidAmn.
Once again I'm up against a hard deadline and only have ten minutes to finish up...so here are my reads:
Town leans - Doom, Kop, KidAmn, Rels,
TBDs - Hawk, OoO, Moogin, Fredrick
Scum leans - Aubrey, Creature, hapa
I'll elaborate on more when I put my vote down. Probably tomorrow.
P.edit - CONGRATS HAWK!Town 57w-66l :: Not Town 29w-16l:: TBD 2
V/LA on weekends (i.e. RL > mafia)
