I called him out at first for soft-defending Heavy, which he later admitted to having done. He did it to set a trap for Turin and Ithi, but caught Key instead. 
 

It’s been my experience that people who set traps on d1 are usually doing it to “prove how towny they are” and not to actually catch scum.

 

By sporadic, I mean he shows up to post when he has an agenda to push a point or defend - not because he’s active and trying to solve slots. 

Expand  

 

Ok on the first part.

 

Hard disagree on the second part, and for somebody who plays with the JN peeps (who try to pull that stuff all the time), I'm surprised that's a scumtell for you.

 

Third one makes no sense to me.  How are you able to tell over Easter weekend what is sporadic due to intent vs. sporadic due to life?

 

 

Dunno man, I rarely see this WIM in scum - especially on D1 when they could have coasted (what we like to sometimes call "doing a Verbal", heh).

How did I set a trap for Ithi and Turin? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely confused at this idea. 

 

But that sporadic bit is BS. I've been under the gun since like page 7 and in a reactive mode trying to answer all the questions and defend my positions in the limited time I had during the biggest holiday on the Christian calendar.

Here's the TL;DR

Heavy is scum. In an effort to be nice to what I thought was someone playing his first game, I made Ithi and Turin think I was defending him. Key took that opening and used it to push suspicion onto me while simultaneously defending Heavy in a more subtle way. They're teammates trying to make sure I go down next after Heavy flips scum. 

Expand  

 

And then…

 The timeline: First, people make jokes and vote each other, fun stuff. Heavy seems confused by our lack of reasoning to vote, joke votes are explained. This is the first emotionally charged post he makes. DPR, Ithi, and Ed immediately sus him for it, and right after that I say it doesn't seem alignment indicative. These posts are all back to back btw. 

  Reveal hidden contents

Then after that, Heavy has the first thing that I'd call overreaction. 

Ok, he's starting to ping. Sure. I have to point out though that this is AFTER my "defense" of Heavy that Key is on about (see the end of this post). And I say as much: 

But I'm still trying to be nice because I'm under the impression the guy is new to Mafia. Here's that exchange: 

  Reveal hidden contents

Dice comes in, drops what looks like a joke vote on Heavy, then post-facto converts it into a real vote. 

 

Ithi then starts the Marsh train. Her reasoning is that I'm defending heavy, which makes me either defending a teammate or white knighting a confused townie. Uses my unvote on Dice as a flawed part of the reasoning. Weird reason to vote me rather than Heavy, who she sussed in the same post, but Ithi is still on level footing reasons wise. It's not motivated reasoning. But what this does is give an opening. 

  Reveal hidden contents

Nyn shows up, catches up, displays what even I remember is town!Nyn energy. 

Heavy calms down. 

At this point, Turin shows up, susses me and Dice for Dice knowing I'm almost a lawyer (?) and tries to give Heavy an out for language barrier. Subtle defense. And of course defending Heavy is sus, is it not? 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Here's Key's first significant contribution to the game. It begins by laying groundwork to sus me. Essentially, because in my first post about Heavy I didn't think his actions were alignment indicative, I'm defending him. But in the same post Key calls him new town. This is subtle defense by way of deflecting onto the available scapegoat, Ironeyes, who was freshly called out by Ithi, Nyn, and Turin.

Then the next post: Yet more "you didn't include other people, hence sus." More subtle defense of Heavy as well: He might be town who got emotional because he doesn't want to die. 

Then look at this, she says Heavy is making pro town moves! And she's out for IRL stuff. 

Key shows up, defends Heavy in every post she makes before having to leave again, and then makes a big deal out of me "defending" him based on a post I made before he did most of the suspicious stuff

Hello Mrs. Key-ttle, I'm Mr. Pot. 

 

This is Page 10, but it's the biggest part of my point so I'm gonna be less detailed now. 

Expand  

 

This is why I said you’ve been planning and not playing. You’re trying to bend the game to fit your narrative - nothing see it for what it is.

I don't like Marsh's reasoning. Admittedly I'm biased - but even ignoring he is pushing me... But I get the feeling he is honest. 

 

He is so certain from my first few posts that I'm mafia that he concocts a trap and risks appearing wolfy to everyone (see Ithi's vote) to catch more wolves. He then elaborately paints Key as a fellow wolf and then predicts people will only be eliminating us three over the coming days. But if he was a wolf, he would know I'm not and all this farfetched theorising would be pointless. And risking being eliminated and flipping wolf himself would equally undermine it all. So if he really means all this, he has to be town. Otherwise it is all just fluff to miseliminate me which seems a bit of overkill at this point.

Maybe wait a little longer before stealing another player's reasoning? It's not subtle enough this way.

What troubles me most about him right now is how he has gone right to conceding his lynch as inevitable when he isn't even the leader at this point. That despite making claims of mafia on his train, he isn't trying to make a real case.  Not even voting anyone presently. 

Expand  

I'm not resigned, but I accept it as a real possibility. Which does make suspicious of the person that gets the ball rolling, but there you go.

 

I don't see how I can make a "Heavy is town" case. But I can try and make my flip as worthwhile as possible, and I can point out weaknesses in other people's arguments. I would be voting DPR but I'm not completely sold yet, but to me there is something off with his posting. But with lots of people so it cannot all be a W/W love in.

Going to spoiler some of these big posts.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Bold, okay, tone and gut read. I don't remember you spending time explaining gut and tone reads before?  Saying it, yes, but going into extra explanation? This is sketch. Especially with little to no explanation on anyone else.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Bold - *preens* lol. It's because I do them on desktop.  I hate doing multiquotes on my phone.  I hate typing anything big on my phone.  I don't understand how students write their essays on their phones nowadays. [insert joke about being old here.]

 

Italics - I don't get how these make him look town to you? I feel like they are doing the opposite to me.  Yes there were issues last game, but he was also WAY involved and definitely posted helpful things. I do agree that not being afraid to get into things is a good look though. 

 

  On 4/21/2025 at 8:59 AM, Ithillian Turambar said:

Hey look at me and my nested quotes. Send me £10 to find out how I did it.

 

1. Reading through quotes is hard so it's ok. I have also jumped to wrong conclusions.

 

2. Very interesting 

 

3. Not that I recall. Maybe a few interesting phrases but nothing to this extent.

 

4. Panic? A way to deal with a new and unexpected situation? Trying to outwit and be clever? The 180 is def something that I noticed.  At first Heavy said Wut? This is just how I post. And yet now it is not. Could be a Team timezones thing.

 

 

Expand  

Bold - Fair.  Just not something I thought new scum would do off the bat, but the switch is telling, imo. Plus I got burned by Gud last game so I feel like I was paying extra attention to seeing anything I felt was odd from a new player.

 

  On 4/21/2025 at 8:59 AM, Turin Turambar said:

Is it okay if I just add colourful comments to the quote? I don't have the desire to break up all the spots to reply. If it bothers people I will find another way. 

colourful bold additions are mine. This was not as easy as I thought it would be. Shad honouring teal out.

Expand  

 

Color is fine with me.

 

Fair enough on the tinfoil.  I think I addressed it earlier, but let me know.

 

Re: The heavy discussion you quoted - was it just me you were looking for information from?? Seems like a very chill response.  I know you said it's based on last game, but it is weirding me out man!

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

And then you do things like the bold which again makes me think town Turin.

 

@Turin Turambar - What do you think of dice's posts since?  I get that you think his vote on heavy was anti-town - are you still feeling that way?

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

First Italics - where's Verb when we need him? lol.

 

Bold - You are contradicting yourself in this statement.  He's not doing anything suspicious to you, yet if he were town he'd be more active and cheerleading?

 

All the rest of the italics - what do these mean to you? Are these folks scum? null? 

 

Second bold - What are townie things to you?

 

Third bold - what does this mean??

 

Last bold - But you're not posting the same?  Go look at a post of yours from the first few pages and then a post now and tell me how those are the same?  

 

  On 4/21/2025 at 11:23 AM, Turin Turambar said:

For me Heavy it wasn't what you said early. It was how you said it. That the was no real content, you weren't taking stances etc.. wasn't important.  I read it as not real. Not even in the way you can at times be RP lite in conversation ( my take, sorry if I offend). It felt like an imitation of that so it was a bit jarring. 

I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself well or not. 

Some of the other posts have felt true to what I view as zen Heavy. There was even one in the middle of page 7 where I was questioning your response to Ithi that I thought was pure. 

 

Keep giving ideas and I think we might get there.  If you are town of course, lol.

Expand  

 

I feel like this is a calm response, which makes me want to say town, but, and I know I feel weird about it.  So, I guess this makes me the one with tinfoil now? 

 

@Ithillian Turambar - This seems helpful of Turin, how do you feel about that?

 

  On 4/21/2025 at 12:05 PM, HeavyHalfMoonBlade said:

I know you are not pushing me, that is what I mean. It is harsh to sus someone for being nice, and as I say I don't think this is a definite tell which means you are certainly mafia, but it seems you are more likely to butter me up as mafia than town. 

 

As I said I normally wouldn't say anything at this point and see how it plays out, but given the circumstances I thought I should share this before I possibly cannot.

So you think he's trying to pocket you?

The tone here strikes me as contrived and has a whif of wolf to wolf in it. 
 

You’ve been general with a few of your descriptions as well. Did you ever figure out what it was that bothers you about me? You mentioned it yesterday and never got back to it.

This feels like a soft and carefully worded reply. There’s a good bit of mea culpa here, which strikes me as odd, and a lot of trying to not criticize Turin too much (something Turin offers in return) and it just feels off.

Bold - I don't see that?  I do see the gentle response of both, but not sure I feel W/W.  Maybe T/W? Admittedly, this is based on my current scum read of Heavy and town read of Turin.

You're misinterpreting the term "made Ithi and Turin think"

It's grammatically dependent on the first few words: "In an effort to be nice..." 

In other words, by trying to be nice I caused Ithi and Turin to form a conclusion. There is no intent there, merely cause and effect.

See my response to DPR, also to Ithi. I didn't pretend to do anything. I cut you some slack and got sussed for it by everyone. I would have had to intend to get a reaction for it to be a trap, which I didn't. Key using my mistake as cover was also an unintended side effect.

Your top post there is towards Heavy and Turin, and you suggest potential scummates.

 

Then your bottom post just votes the person calling Heavy scum, and maybe even Turin as well (not sure if that's what Marsh was saying.....).

Please see my above post to DPR.  I think you might have been suggesting Turin was also scum, but maybe that wasn't accurate and it's Key instead you suggest?

I don't have a clear read on Turin yet. My whole megapost was my case for Key being scum and using me as cover. The opening that allowed her to do that was suspicion cast on me by Turin and Ithi. That doesn't make Turin scum.

Hmm.  That makes it even weirder.

 

DPR says a Heavy post was scummy and links him with Turin.  Then Turin susses you, who turns it towards Heavy.  Then DPR votes you.

 

Doesn't make sense.

Sorry Key, I got lost in that multi quote.

 

I think there was at least one question for me but I couldn't sort through all the posts. I think it was something about Heavy???

If Heavy and Marsh are w/w, I'll eat my shoe.

 

If Marsh is town, DPR looks bad.  I don't know if it makes Key look bad, her effort seems consistent with her town game so far.  NAI on Turin here.

 

If Marsh is scum, all bets are off and somebody shoot me that night.

I think that is definitely a possibility. I think his reasoning is plausible, but without knowing I'm town why is he calming me down and giving me an out as mafia? Of course, maybe he is just acting as innocent until proven guilty but that has not been my experience of Town!Turin so far, but maybe he has mellowed out since our first game, where he battered me with literally hundreds of posts in a back and forth of t/t violence. Which could I suppose be a reason to not repeat that again, lol.

You, sir, were the cause and the effect was a direct interpretation of your own actions.

I actually think Marsh might be town.  The LOE in his posts is high, and that isn't typically sustainable for scum.....so I'm happy to think he's town for now and see how this develops.

 

I also think Nyn is likely town.  Her not accepting a "Nyn is town" statement and wanting further explanation is also typically a towntell.

 

I want to think Lenlo is town here.  When we are opposite alignments, we argue a lot.  I don't get that feeling so far.  This is a weak read, but better than null.

 

A bunch of players not named in this post are in the middle - maybe a post here or there I liked or didn't, but nothing to comment on (yet).

 

I'm a little suspicious of both DPR and Dice.   Weak D1 reads, but worse than null.  Dice "feels" like he did last game, where he was scum (with me, so I saw it closely).  DPR is just weird right now.  I can't put my finger on it yet.

I agree with your stances. DPR still on the null part, but mebbe.

Mostly null with some doubts.

Asking questions and doing stuff with thw answers (not simply endlessly asking people to clarify). Pointing out pro-town things and sus-things. Showing thought processes even when unfinished, not I have suspicions which I'll list later type of posts.

That was me having fun, making jokes and influencing people. Not the right way apparently. And yes I was going down a defensive tunnel - not actually in my emotions but in that I was talking myself into a corner by being increasingly snarky.
