Blaze not voting yet, actually lowers my town read slightly close to Jean.

Whats the chance scum was already half on the lethal wagon. Who looks worse hopping on
This isn't a question for me, but I'll interject.

Tommy.

Troop was ballsy to vote me on his way out. I admire it

I also absolutely think, the fact that Tommy knew enough to stay distant in the early parts of the game and just resort to liking stuff until I called him out for it, screams very much Scum. I don't want to get into the coaching theory that buried Blaze last game, but truly a good scum partner would've told Tommy to hold his horses and let things play out. Tommy was eager to play the game yet was sitting on the benches for the start, that is not in his character in my eyes

See I agree with Juice on that read over the Troop one. It's weird to say, "I am just learning and following suit". And than voting Barry without much reasoning behind it. If you said "I trust Jean", that would've been a better response, but saying I have my reasons is a bit weird.
Why this versus the other.

I felt Troop voted Lethal due to him calling him out. He has seemed very on the fence and said he could come back and vote at days end like he already knows what is going on.

Then Tommy is just acting like he doesnt know anything. He could be playing coy as well.

Just his posts Blaze. Something about lying and tricking folks . Might of read it wrong but it's just a feeling I have
Are you implying that he is lying and tricking people? Just trying to follow your thoughts on this.

question would be : was it organic or an act to gain sympathy

I often tend to go with the first as it's a rather dirty dirty play otherwise. but it is mafia.
I have seen it both in town and scum. So its a null thing for me. He did seem genuinely upset

Here is where I am at after reading up.

Jean- nuetral but could go either way currently. Seems like he is trying to solve but I am cautious of him.

Brett- slight town lean as he does seem to be involved based upon what I read last game where he wasnt doing much. Felt early on either Bret or Jean was trying to use the last game to get a read on each other or to get the other on their side as the day has progressed I have seen more distance between them and Brett has seemed more independent of thought.

Tommy- have had a hard time reading him as he is learning the game. The self vote I have seen on both sides but as a newer player is probably town as frustration can lead to a self vote. No read on him as he hasnt interacted much with anyone besides Brett.

Juice- I dont remember juice sitting back as much but doesnt mean he isnt paying attention. Juice hasnt done much for me to get a read yet. I do like that he has gone back to check games out on hunches.

Blaze- seems more defensive this game from the last game on a few occasions,

Grim- Feels like Grim, says some things and a little sarcastic with what he is saying. Still trying to figure out if this is town Grim or scum Grim. I cant remember if sarcastic Grim is more town or not, lean slightly scum.

Troop- have not really liked a post Troop has made yet. Has been very on the fence with his posts and the I will be back to vote at end of day is very bad and only voted after Lethal told him to do something so a retaliatory vote.
Will be my vote only based upon

Lethal- Slight town lean for me. Has seemed to be hunting for scum. Doesn't seem to be pushing an agenda and asking questions.


Are we still at 3 votes on Lethal?

Also why are we voting Blaze currently as I didnt see anything warranting a vote on him.

vote: Troop

I have spent the last hour reading these with a bad signal hoping once I leave here I will get a better signal in about 5 hours. We have almost 24 hours left in the day.

The troop vote for Wang screams super Sus to me. He is establishing some pretty concrete evidence and then defaults to an inactive player who really doesn't have a hell of a lot material to the point of warranting suspicion.

What you all are failing to realize is that Troop was getting ready to vote and then I told him to wait because we have 48 hours. He then decided to say that in response to my comment to him about waiting things off. He didnt come up with that independently and as Wang had discussed, Troop very much is responding in kind vs. playing with a strategy. (I.E. holding vote cuz of my comment, Voting Lethal because of pressure).

The issue with Blaze is a change in pattern of behavior. Blaze as town was incredibly active last game. He is now making a conscious effort to be less active (he was playing a video game last night, he wasn't working lol. That's an intentional decision) Not saying that everybody needs to drop what they are doing to play WrestleSmarks Mafia, but an observation of a behavior pattern change is certainly warranted for Blaze.

He doesn't even fight or argue with any suspicion against him, which to me is attempting to not be aggro against any players in order to not ruffle feathers. He's playing into the Blaze "I'm not that great" trope with the "I haven't been playing my best game I know, I know" as the only defense to any time he is questioned. That just feels so off putting, where Blaze typically defends himself with pretty sufficient evidence (see me calling him out for not interacting with Lethal)

I swear on everything I hold dearly I'm not scum. I'm new so why would I be chosen for scum . I wouldn't be able to learn it that quick
