I completely missed last day, I have been mad busy with work and I'm trying to get used to it.

I wonder who Fran was on if not Sorian day 1.

Also I think it's a shame Funky was not given a chance, or that no one else was really entertained while I was away, it seem every time the mob mentality gets going people stop looking for alternatives or looking at the future.
A chance for what, he had plenty of time to post?
Stantastic: surprisingly perceptive
Sweet, love backhand compliments

So rereading Hedin and there's not too much here. His day 1 stuff is pretty light, and he dislikes day 1 apparently which is fair. He has 1 post that's a read list of every player and it's kind of a bunch of nothing that I'm not a huge fan of.

This I can do.

jman - There was an occasional role we had when I played (I tried looking through the mafia wiki on the name and nothing jumped out at me) where your win objective was to get someone else lunched. Jman against Sorian that first day felt like newbie trying to accomplish that. That might be too harsh of a reading but that's what it felt like.

Then he has this which I'm not a huge fan of. This would be fine on day 1, but this isn't actually a read. Like it doesn't really conclude with anything. Do you still think he's a neutral? Has anything changed for you now?

He's got a couple of posts about Fanto, nin, Hagi, and Sparks that do look like he's more engaged, but there's not much follow through.

Leaning scum here, but it's not a confident scum read. Wish I had a bit more to go on.

Okay, wow Hagi is rough on reread. Seems like you're typical nervous townie, but then it keeps going and there's just nothing there.

There's a vote he placed on Turmoil where he said he wasn't a fan of killing me or Fanto, but I have no idea why he wasn't a fan of it. Like there's very little in way of reads at all

Jman is giving me weird vibes. The sudden shift to "Wait we should kill Sparks" was some whiplash that felt like scum realized opposing the Sparks kill wasn't doing it for them. He feels the most genuine of the three on reread, but I don't think he feels much better.

Leaning scum on all of them I guess lol. If I had to pick a newbie to kill today it would be Hagi

Yeah my activity could be better but D1 was one of the more forgettable ones I've been in and D2 was wrapped up in a turbo. That's not a lot to go on and sure it's hindsight because what if Sparks was lying scum that claimed neutral out of nowhere. But he was neutral and he's dead and were pretty much back at D2 but with one less town.

I was teetering on a Jman vote, but I have to put them on my lean town list. What finally made me lean town:

we can't kill sparks yet if we believe him we have to keep hunting mafia
Not only because it was right, but because why the hell would scum push to keep hunting scum---town cred? Perhaps throw out a quick throwaway line, then let it fade because you know Sparks is a good train to keep scum safe on? Except Jman gets into an argument about this very post and drags it out for 5+ posts. However, what kills me is that when Jman does fold on the subject, it's simply because Sparks got the hours wrong:
Oh never mind sparks is Lying i missed this earlier my bad.

Sparks was already told the correct end of day hours ago this was not a last minute i'm getting killed reveal my role mistake.

VOTE:Funky Dude Sparks.
Which feels like flimsy reasoning to turn on Sparks. But the iffyness of this vote on Sparks doesn't outweigh the towniness of pushing for more scum hunting outside of Sparks.

Okay so initially I really didn't like this Salva vote but the more I look at it the better I feel about it?

So we have town Turms in the lead with unknown Fanto in second place and Salva ties it up at the last minute by voting for Fanto. And I can't figure out why he would do that? They clearly aren't scum together because otherwise he could have just voted Turms, and if it's town vs. town at the end why would scum Salva draw attention to himself by causing a tie and risking no one dying instead of just letting a townie die. The only scenario I can think of is if scum Salva just really wanted Fanto dead instead of Turms, but that all just seems too risky
I'm going to sheep this opinion and say I lean town on Salva. I can't argue with any of the reasoning here from Chuggs. I think it's a solid enough post that I might as well quote it and bump it.

I wanted scum dead more than a neutral and I wanted to give sparks a chance to cooperate for a couple of days and stay alive while we search for juicier prey. sparks stoped responding and went silent then I read that he was already told the correct end of day. the fact that sparks was possibly lying about details and in general acting sketchy ment it was way to risky to leave him alive. sparks gave us no choice but to kill him immediately. plus he ruined a full day of scum hunting really wish he had his outburst later in the day.

Welcome, Stove. First time Mafia player, or simply first time here on Reset?

my first vote neat!

Thanks friends. I've played Mafia before but never in this format and never on Reset. It's hard to keep track of everything and everyone when you cant see their faces. :P

Still formulating my thoughts so some of these are less confident compared to others.

I am sus about:
You. jman ;)
Fanto
Hagi

At the moment I think townies are:
Vincent_Alexander
Salvapot
Maybe Chuggs.

How could it be forgettable with 2 claims, ample debate and a close ending? Are you really paying attention?

I didn't see that last post by Fanto, but he suddenly swerves from me to Salva?
It's not like anyone else was voting, why not vote for both of the people I want to call out the most? :P
In fact I feel strong enough about that last one to:

Vote: nin
I'm definitely interested in hearing about the Scum read on Nin, I feel like he hasn't been talked about much and like I'm giving him too much of a pass here.
Neutral to Suspicious Of (In no particular order):
-Fanto
-Stove
-Stantastic
-Hagi
-Lone_Prodigy
-nin
You too, give me your thoughts on Nin, what made you put him in this list?

Hi, Stove! What do you find suspicious about me so far?
 
Oct 25, 2017

Yeah, I'm not giving anyone town points for wanting to "Scum hunt" on a day where Sparks was obviously going to get killed.

I'm not really sure were the nin scum reads are coming from

Hi, Fanto! Purely hunches at the moment. I'm going to pull the newbie card someone else in this chat overused way too much earlier. On that note, my thinking Vincent and Salva are also just hunches.

I'm sticking with my vote on jman however because he seems a bit all over the place.

I'm curious why you switched from Hagi to Nin here? What was it about Hagi that made you want to vote there at first over the others on your Suspect list, and then what made you want to suddenly switch it to Nin instead?
My vote on Hagi was because they were on my scum list and already had a vote. I want some real pressure on people this day. I could've gone either/or with Hagi or Nin. My initial reason for being suspicious of Nin I'll quote tomorrow. My reason for switching tonight though...gonna keep that one to myself for now.

I guess I'd just like to know what's informing those hunches then haha. I just like seeing how people formulate their opinions, even it's just a hunch or not based on much, helps everyone to see the thought process still I think.

I do agree Jman has been a bit all over, but part of that is what's making me lean Town on him instead actually, just based on the assumption that Mafia wouldn't want to draw too much unnecessary attention to themselves I guess.

"That I've been in." Context.

Claims were boring (and one was unnecessary), debate was over trivial things, and the ending was close only because someone decided to tie it late just to see what would happen.

You can keep baiting but like I said, I don't lunch for bad town play. Go bother someone else.

Oh and since no one picked up my message on Day 2 i am going to spell it out.

I have been given lovingly a rainbow bass.

Not sure what that meant and it does not seem that i can use it in someway.

I can admire it though, thats what i have been said to

Town lost an entire day of killing mafia thanks to sparks neutral reveal but don't worry your King aims to correct this. I believe it's vital to hit a scam today at all cost so why take one shot at it when you can take two?
