Josh Mafia - Day 4

True.

Iā€™m pulling a play from the Elli playbook
Key was online and didnā€™t post in this thread
o:

Also I still want a follow-up with Dusk
but Iā€™m willing to shelf him for now on the caveat that if Dusk ever dies and flips scum then Tex needs to die immediately afterwards.

@Dannflor I kind of feel like you should start threatening people with your shot rather than waiting and then doing it?

Dann should almost certainly shoot Chad again. I donā€™t buy that he changed alignment.

Knock knock open up the door
Its the nonstop pop pop of stainless steel

did josh confirm that mod announcements are confirmed to be truthful

If chad claimed his alignment can change before dan claimed he died if he shoots town, I donā€™t think thatā€™s safe.

Oh wait I think its nonstop click clack

he claimed it start of d2 (after dannā€™s claim).
i donā€™t really think that chad is mafia and donā€™t think the shotā€™ll change much, but if we want dann to live i think thatā€™d be the best way to go.

I went back, tried to form some real opinions on this game. Hereā€™s my rundown so far.

Reads list:

Town
{DS, Urist}
[#130], [#199, #472, #697, #711]

Positive Lean
{fuyu, Joined_Under_Duress, Texas, ActionDan}
[#263, #382], [#304, #601, #622, #713], [#250, #326], [#608].

Slight Positive Lean
{Danathon, Chesskid, MS, DS}
[#592]

Neutral / Null
{Ellibereth, Key}

Negative Lean
{Duskfall98, the_worst, Northsidegal, ErikaFurudo}
[#150, #334, #491, #527, #543], [#222], [#577].

Confirmed Scum
{Nanook}

Confirmed Town
{Transcend, Rob}

My view of Urist would change meaningfully if Srceenplay flips Town I think.

Texas interaction with Dusk #257-258 interesting. Fuyu and Texas either TvT or SvT [#263, #271]. Same with Dusk v. Duck? [#290]. Texas piling on #303 v. Dusk.

#304 - Dusk making decisions on a whim isnā€™t necessarily Scummy. It simply means that Dusk is relying on gut. However, questioning such reliance is Towny I think.

#306 seems excessive from Dusk.

If Iā€™m skeptical of the_worst, who Iā€™ve expressed generally positive feelings for in the past, itā€™s because of the absolutism used when talking about Dusk now that Iā€™m re-reading. #310 is a good example (ā€œI donā€™t Town Read anything youā€™ve done so far (ā€¦)ā€). And from just a few responses we get #321, which is a rather abrupt switch. And then votes Transcend in #322. And after switching away, goes back to voting there. #384 also looks bad in hindsight. #687 is another example of this off tone Iā€™m referencing (ā€œaggressively flailing ever sinceā€).

#362 - Duck can you explain what made you worry that you were going to be NKā€™ed? Seems like a strange concern to me.

#378 Iā€™ll admit is giving me pause - frankly, itā€™s a valid argument. Iā€™m of the mindset that the more information, the better, and I have been leaning more and more towards waiting to execute players the more I play Mafia. Doesnā€™t mean I donā€™t make my stances clear, but I would Unvote if a wagon was building too quickly for example. Itā€™s a difference in style though, and not necessarily Scummy.

#381, #400, #416, #435, #628 - I donā€™t know that all this clears Srceen or not, but Iā€™m beginning to lean yes.

I think D1 overall is not great for Dusk to be honest. At least this is my feel ~500 posts in. The hardened stance on Transcend in #558 is another bad look, particularly given the flip. Am I being manipulated here with the NK? #680 doesnā€™t help me either.

I had NSG as Lean Town [#544], but Iā€™m downgrading based on #577.

DS in #613 kind of sucks, but I canā€™t Scum Read it. I feel DS would care to take harder stances if Scum. But possibly coasting.

#621 is originally why I had a positive view of Erika. #636 tilts it in the opposite direction. Though itā€™s on Dusk. Providing reads in #660 seems Towny too. Maybe I need to reconsider here?

#622 is either extremely on point as Town, or factual knowledge as Scum. Overall, Iā€™m leaning Town on JUD, so Iā€™m impressed.

#734 - I take this back. Clearly I wasnā€™t paying all that much attention.

I also overestimated my read of ActionDan - not enough relevant content now that I read back. My view of his tone stands.

ā€”

Iā€™ll keep reading. This is through #745.

I distinctly remember him claiming he can become town d1. Iā€™ll check in a bit.

UNVOTE

he said something like, ā€œas long as you lynch correctly i am permanently a member of the townā€.
we havenā€™t lynched correctly afaik. i think he was referring to the fact that he is going to try to act protown.
i donā€™t even think he said the above before dann claimed but iā€™m not gonna bother checking.

so it came after hrmm

The IC is obviously Confirmed Town too. And RADicate is Town for role reasons.

Iā€™m having trouble with Srceenplay, who I might be leaning Town right now. I Unvoted for this reason. I donā€™t know if thatā€™s the entire playlist.

there isnā€™t really any reason to assume an alignment change.
Iā€™m almost positive he was just saying that he would prefer to side with town.
idk why I forgot this.
:v

@Andresvmb

why do you have me as Town and also as Slight Positive Lean

also are the numbers under the names meant to be reasons youre reading them?
