I don't think tfios is mafia, as they had nothing to gain from not just committing to a Crimson lynch.
I'm not convinced on Proto being town at all, I'm going to cross-meta him between 17F+SFM57 once I finish typing this/after I post it depending on when day starts. I don't like his flipping of reads and the way he popped in with his second post felt like he was waiting for a chance to enter the thread in a non-awkward way, plus being self-aware about stuff.
I think Rick's answer to my question of there being a deepwolf is really interesting and very potentially spewy depending on his alignment, and since tfios/Crimson/Zucker/Goomba are all unlikely mafia/flipped town I think he could be wolf with another deepwolf here, most probably Flake or ejji.
My metaread on Eragon still stands.
I think Uzay's PbPA of Crimson was villagery, even with Crimson flipping town. I need to check if he responded to Crimson's counterpoints.
If there are any other specific reads I come up with I'll post them separately from this, because this was pre-typed during the night.

This is probably the most logical post that has been made all day

It's not lamist, it's just me making points from my PoV, is that not acceptable??
And why would I consider switches here, I literally didn't need to at all, first point implies a possibility occurred so switches isn't relevant here, rest of the points are takes regarding kills for which I wouldn't need to mention switches at all
What Scum!Flake is doing here is speculating about information Town cannot possibly know to no benefit in an attempt to pass off useless analysis as Town cred. They want to get us talking about this topic so that we waste time trying to figure out what happened last night when only they have an idea of the actual night targets. It would almost be IIoA, if it weren't for the fact that we even don't know who the kills are credited to, so you can at least pretend not to know about that.
This is why what Town!Flake just did said is virtually nothing of value. You think the kills help solve the game for you, but you don't have a lynch based on the targets because you don't know who the kills were credited to. We don't know if a target was healed, if the vigilante even took a shot, or if a target was struck by two people. What do we gain from it, then?
I see why Scum!Flake brings it up, but not why Town!Flake bothers. So yeah, it looks LAMIST to me.
Or
I just think it's more likely that NK killed Phone and Mafia killed Eragon
Whether you disagree with that or not is up to you, saying "it's pointless having said this given it's subjective" is an incredibly stupid point, like you don't have to think it's not pointless but don't discount the possibility that I or anyone else wouldn't deem it pointless
Also if I was actually scum trying to use a "pointless argument" to waste town's time, I would likely prolong my argument for much longer than I did

if you dont know this you have zero fucking business meta reading me and speculating what conversations ejj and i shouldnt be having on this you can straight up piss off
Uh
am I missing something or am i literally being vilified for speculating something that is potentially helpful to the game?
sorry if you're offended by that but i literally don't understand why you would be
I would almost understandand could be a bit less frustrated if you weren't outright imposing into the nature of our friendship here. It was the fact that you were all like "what the actual fuck, Rick and Ejj don't know each other, this interaction can only be MxM because this is atypical behavior from Rick toward a person he hasn't played with". If you know me well enough to meta read me, you have should have some kind of semblance as to who I'm familiar enough with to have some kind of relationship out of the game with without brashly launching into something like this. This is my first game with Ejj, but a lot of people here know that she and I have history and are close. Chemist should know this too, though I can understand why you wouldn't.
Because you don't know that she and I are close friends, I don't expect you to understand that she literally scum reads me from the outside of every game we play, usually for the reason that she feels we approach the game differently and she doesn't know how to properly think about me due to approach.
But the fact that you tried to reconstruct how you thought our relationship ought to have been and used this as a means to argue that this was pointless mafia theater doesn't sit well with me at all, for the fact that you don't have any place to discuss this topic in any way. I don't know you, but I do know her, and I don't expect to have to explain my friendship with her when people like you try to drag it into the game itself, seeing as it's utterly ridiculous and completely out of line coming from you.
I wasn't aware that you and her are close friends, sorry
I won't get further into it because this discussion point is just degenerative for town

if you think the slip exchange is fake you are stupid
scum never orchestrates something as intricate as that
because mafia never do a scum theater right
They do
But you're missing my point entirely
If you'd somewhat analysed what went down you would know that it is too intricate to ever be faked by literally anyone on this site
Flake, I'm sorry, but no. There are pairings of Mafia teams that would certainly not be able to pull some kind of "slip" tactic in the thread on the fly, certainly, but if your argument is that you and Chemist don't have the skill set to pull this off, don't even bother. You don't qualify for this premise.
You and Chemist are two skilled players who I think wouldn't be afraid to attempt something like this if you put yourselves up to it. If your argument is that "it's too difficult to fake" and that "it's too genuine for people at our skill level", it's never going to fly with me, and I don't care how hard you try to dispute this, you're not going to convince me when I know that you and Chemist are smart enough to make something like this work.
Is my take wrong on this? Possibly. But if your argument revolves around difficulty and skill level between you and Chemist, then it's a pretty shitty argument.
Adding this, since it's relevant:
Flake wrote:To people who think mine and chemist's interaction is orchestrated
In what world does Mafia come up with
"hey chem, you make a fake slip by including someone who dies you out on it, i'll deepwolf and call you outed scum because i'll say i think you make the slip on someone specifically rather than you knowing the possibility that it could be a slip but not being bothered to remove the slip after the flip of the someone who dies, but then i'll realise it's actually you just knowing the possibility it could be a slip pre-flip and do a completee 180 on you"
like can you all use your brains for a bit
NO ONE ORCHESTRATES THIS AS MAFIA EVER
NO ONE COMES UP WITH THAT PLAN
How about, the same world where Mafia!Chemist says this:
Chemist1422 wrote:Cool are we just gonna have everyone townslip
Everyone this game so far has literally spent the entire time talking about how this person or that person derped themselves into being called lock town so far. If I were Mafia in this game and I saw everyone narrowing down their PoE lists because of it, then yeah, I can see myself trying to fabricate something like this, and I can totally see other people doing it as Mafia too. This kind of scum theater would also serve a hell of a lot of purpose under the circumstances too. I don't see it going exactly the way you quoted it in the above (not unless you're the biggest troll literally ever and this is exactly how it went), but I can see it getting suggested no problem at all.
Flake, seriously, like how exactly do you plan on expecting us to believe that you wouldn't pull this off as scum because you don't have the skill for it?
My point isn't necessarily that me and Chemist wouldn't have the skill to do it
More that a Mafia team would never actually think up of this plan specifically
Looking at it after it's actually happened it's easy to speculate on it being fake
But in reality the likelihood that me and chemist would actually plan that as a Mafia team is like EXTREMELY low
Mafia theaters are far more likely to be either a linear argument with some specific idea in mind, or a non-linear argument that naturally progresses regarding something more subjective to make it seem like it can't be Mafia vs Mafia
If I were Mafia and wanted me and Chemist to appear not MvM, why would I not have chosen to make a more subjective argument with Mafia!Chemist for which there is far less chance of the argument being subject to scrutiny

Can You explain bolded ones ? Actually due below being PoE Pool , just above
Proto because as Town their demeanor is never serious and always reckless & overconfident
As scum he plays recklessly and with overconfidence normally, but sometimes he will have bursts of being normal and serious where he attempts to radiate town incentive, see 17F
Seeing as it's the former I don't think he's scum here
Grumpy I now moved to PoE pool, though I'm unsure on them, initially I thought their reads would not come from Mafia but I can see it now, and I am also put off by their overdefense of themselves and them centralising their thought processes around SK, but as the same time I don't think they'd be reckless enough to say some of the things they're saying if they are scum
For me you and Qva are near impossible to read; neither of you have considerable town incentive as compared to what you'd have as scum, but neither of you are lacking it either, it's just a case of both of you being less town than most other players for me. Like neither of you are playing outside the realm of your scum meta imo.

the amount of people looking at the interaction between me and chem for and determining what chem said as NAI purely based upon the possibility that he faked it is annoying
yes of course the possibility still exists that he faked the slip
but the point is you're supposed to analyse whether it's more likely that he did or didn't, and look at his demeanor in the situation
Town in order from most towny to least {Qvapil, Dash, Zucker, Flake, Uzay, Rick, ejji}
Null {Proto}
Scum in no particular order {Chemist, tfios, cupcake, Goomba}
I have ejji so low in town because I remember liking their D1 posts, but I can't find their iso so I can't form a proper read.
Cupcake I was against lynching yesterday but my only hesitation was their meta which I don't know how well I can judge, as Proto pointed out. Ignoring that, I'd be completely advocating for their lynch, both because they were the other wagon D1 and because their posts are shit. Plus I think they have telling interactions with chemist and tfios. I don't think my meta read is strong enough to keep defending him, but I want them to post today before I decide whether I'll vote.
Tfios is so low partly because they have been acting a bit differently than our previous game together where they were town, but even if I completely abandon any meta reads this game, I still don't like their D1 post explaining their thoughts on crimson and cupcake. If cupcake ever flips town, I'd be on tfios immediately. If cupcake flips mafia, I'm not so sure if both tfios and chemist would defend them over crimson D1 so in that case I'll probably pick one.
Goomba I think is SK because they've focused on it a lot. They also probably picked cop/vig immunity based on their posts.
Proto I can't read.
Rick I think they're town based on D1, and in general I think their posts are really helpful and informative. He's helped town too much to be scum I think. But I don't like that they're pushing possible scum!flake today. I also don't like how flake talked so much about Chemist's slip. I think you kinda derailed the conversation a bit there, whether you buy the flip or not. I also don't think chemist/flake are maf/maf. If we chemist dies before cupcake and chemist is town, it's definetely tfios/cupcake.
