I think TvK pointed this out earlier, but between me and Leone it doesn't matter who's lynched still a win for mafia and probably even looks better to vote for me and get the 2nd wagon going. I saw John say these wagonomics what looked like a few times to me, and sure they work unless you consider the possibility that I'm town... I mean seriously come on.
Another thought I've had is if I'm mislynched who will look the worst? Probably the person who pressured me the most. But... I disagree, maf won't want to look bad so they'll probably support the wagon on me but avoid the interactions and pressuring me. Right now if I remember correctly, 6 people meet this criteria:
Racer
PAF
YS
John
Zwiebel
Kyle
PAF: Sort of been following and going back and forth with opinions... seems to be easily influenced. Wouldn't be surprised if he was town even with this behavior, this is his first game I think and he seems to be trying to help town imo although I don't like the way he defends pressure, one of his last posts it also felt like he needed to ensure us that he was town.
Conclusion: Too soon to tell, could go either way.
Racer: I actually think he's trying hard and trying to make his own reads also, he may look scummy from wagon stuff but I think his votes were genuine.
Conclusion: town read
YS: As usual... all over the place, and being a huge follower for wagons with bad logic. I know I've pretty much played the same way this game and I'm sorry but YS has contridicted himself and even called me "fluffgun" despite his own horrendous play.
Conclusion: Decent chance he could be mafia but it could also just be his usual sloppy play.
John: The one who came up with the flawed wagonomics... possibly to defend Zwiebel from the top player mafia member????
Conclusion: Insisted on flawed wagonomics, pretty bad... seriously I think there's a pretty good chance he could be maf
Zwiebel: The only person here that seems to be in lists of top players and also on my list. For a top player that's very suspicious of me don't you think he would try and interact with me??
Conclusion: Very large maf read
Kyle: Doing the same as the rest and laying back saying my play is poor and I look scummy but not interacting with me in the slightest. I expect better play from Kyle if he's town
Conclusion: maf read
Overall conclusion: I'm abandoning my thoughts on TvK and Dan, cleared my head didn't focus on the pressure they gave me and yeah I think their pressure on me was clean and they pressured me too much to be maf imo. Even just out of these 6 people, I think there could be 3 maf.
TvK can I get your full thoughts on this post? You seemed to just call these weak random reads and proceed to vote me later on.
Well, this is a D2 readslist, and we've had flips and other twists which makes me wonder why you still want me to comment on this. Anyway here goes:
First thing that sticks out is that your entire readslist is based on how the people behaved on or off your wagon. At that point, I had no way of telling your alignment (you actually were my biggest scumread), so it's really difficult to put myself in that place. It's strange that you make your reads list out of that state of mind, when you know most people cannot see you that way. I would much rather prefer a readslist that is backed up with quotes from within the game and from interactions with other people than yourself.
The last time you posted your reads, you said that Dan and I were your top scum reads. Now you list 6 new people and you call only one of them town. You say you're unsure about PAF and you're maf reading Kyle for the same reasons as others (including me) are mafreading you: because we expect better play.
Then you have two arguments against John: his flawed wagonomics post and his defense of Zwiebel, who you think is the mafia leader. What I would conclude from this is that Zwiebel is your #1 maf read and when Zwiebel would get lynched and flips scum, that would mean that your read of John is also correct. However, your vote for the day goes to John. This made me believe that you (and possibly your maf buddies) tried to spread some doubt about one of the stronger players, Zwiebel, and but that you weren't ready to go for him yet and then decided to go for John, the slightly easier target. You finish off by saying Dan and I probably aren't scum.
Then 26 minutes later you make a new readslist and suddenly I'm one of the top maf reads. The reasons for your new readslist were "holy shit, I didn't read this stuff close enough". PAF, who you were unsure about, disappears from your list (presumably because you already have 5 scumreads, but still, he doesn't get mentioned). You paraphrase something you think might be my reasoning (note the total absense of actual quotes) and suddenly I'm at the top of your list. Still, no vote on me follows, but you went for John.
This made me think that you were the loose cannon of the maf, who was just out to spread mayhem and whose job it was to plant seeds of doubt in townspeoples minds.
