I actually think that if the mod was doing a bait and switch on us, it would mean that there are actually 2 members of the mafia in the dethy instead of 1.

I still think that 1 is the most likely option by far, but 0 feels like the least likely option to me.

Don't have any strong scumreads.
do you have any leads at all?
i’m asking because you seemed a little uncomfortable when you showed up and i feel like your posts are not really engaging with the game at large
Weird take but okay, if you think I was uncomfortable you can think that.

I dunno what you mean by leads but Dann feels weird at times, like the vote on Marci really felt out of place and I pegged morph as town for also having a skeptical reaction to it. I'll have to look more closely but it felt like he might've had more info there.

Also I literally don't know what he meant by tagging along with CSF's read of me and I haven't gotten the clarification I demanded. :evil:

What do you expect from someone who's "engaging with the game at large"? Talking to everyone? That's not how I operate.

i really think it makes sense for people to be swapping around neighborhoods this game so i think the starting number of scum in any neighborhood probably can't be accurately guessed but im not mech brained!!
Do you think people can be swapped into both hoods, or just one? Because the second one seems themed around inventors and I think it would be strange if players can be swapped in and out of that one.
It's one hood with cop-inventions to give out.

I feel like this could be a towntell. :/

I think it was just hood talk.
I don't remember anyone pushing u in main thread
. And honestly most of whats been going on with you in mainhood has not been bringing attention to me so thats why i said u being scum would be interesting because of lack of engagement (at least from my memory of u so far). I do want to sort u earlier though, i think ur post here is first one i go well that sounds town spiffeh. But i might be giving u easy pass for how u framed that whole post.
That's interesting.

On one hand I feel like I need to reread this game to get a solid scum read of my own, and on the other hand I want to just wait for morph to do all the work for me and break out their super duper color coded entire player list read list

But either way, I don't currently know where I want my vote to be, and it feels stale where it is.

I liked Spiffeh's push here:

VOTE: Brian Skies

Does this represent a change of your Oblivion read? If so, elaborate?
Ummm sort of. I think its posts generally feel agenda less. is a good example where it gives me the overall impression that it's just doing its own thing in figuring things out.

But I'm also having a hard time following its thought processes and reads on players in the game. It might be due to how it approaches the game, e.g. its treatment of the FireBagel slot seemed like an uncharitable scumread to me, but it was actually townreading Firebagel the whole time...? I guess I'm still in a wait-and-see mode. I'm interested what conclusions its drawing from its questions, specifically with Pooky but also more generally.

I mostly wanted to move my vote
