[FM] Lord of the Rings Forum Mafia - (7/25) - Completed - Mafia Wins!

Marshal I gave my reads

Well, that’s a start.

I want a read on everybody tommorow.

This post

If they all talk then okay

they all have.

I have a lean on most everybody, even if slight.

and if it’s null, i have reasons

Okay cool

Like I told Arete I didn’t read the first few thousands posts for the most part

yeah.

7000 posts on day fucking 1 is pretty extreme, ngl

Im hoping for a good 5+ deaths tonight to make things easier to track tomorrow.

And I was busy, I just couldn’t bring myself and did t have the time to get through them all.

Having a think about it, I think Solic put on the appearance of distancing and pushing Kai hard in order to get towncred since Kai was rapidly reaching consensus scumread with or without Solic’s push during the early stages of the lynch phase. Thus, scumteam cut their losses with Kai and tried to benefit off of it by misleading through association, one of the resuting benefits being solidifying Solic’s position in townreads. It’s worked pretty well, but a closer look shows that quite a few of Solic’s reads on Kai are weak, forced, or cold/safe takes.

Earlier on:

This is forced. Kai’s criticism here doesn’t make sense, considering that trying to get the hammer doesn’t require you to have control of the thread, as seen by Derps’ current behaviour.

So, one of Solic’s read posts on Kai was pretty much entirely forced/weak, aside from the Antarctic take that Kai’s lack of a follow-up on Boss was scummy. There’s very little else that directly deals with Kai besides the below:

Some nice shitposting and scum theatre distancing Solic and Kai as Kai gets closer to consensus scumread. Just as flimsy as Solic’s reads on Kai.

As for Solic’s response to my ISO:

Not a response.

You’ll have to enlighten me on how I’m doing it, because I’m not seeing it.

I have to agree with the big Ici quote I put in the ISO, especially their assessment of your posting personality. You most definitely are passive-agreesive, and your interpretations of quite a few posts have been wack.

I made a comment on the change in style in the post. Sure, your double exclamation mark could be a typo, but that doesn’t mean that post didn’t have a different style. Nice work ignoring the other half of the read.

Besides, microreads based on miniscule changes in the setting out of text posts seems pretty normal around here. I’d say my read of this post is not a microread, and the premise is as valid as much as others’ style-based reads are valid.

Kai turning out to be scum doesn’t change how forced that read was, and it doesn’t clear you. See the beginning of this post.

Not seeing it. It’s more than plausible for scum to be unhappy about town being stupid and messing up game balance early. Can’t remember who it was, but there was someone talking a while back about how annoying it is for scum to face a town who isn’t putting up a challenge.

Being upset about a game going lopsided is mostly NAI anyway, unless town is expected to never be frustrated by dumb shit happening which would be weird.

Not a response.

I’ll be sure to keep it monosyballic for you if I get around to it.

Thank you for appreciating how revolutionary my take is.

So what? How is restating my central conclusion a defence? Are you saying that the concept of trying too hard to seem town while scum and failing is impossible?

I went and had another look to see if you did actually elaborate on your Dat townread, but couldn’t find it. Could you point it out for me?

Still waiting on this. By Solic’s own metrics this is scummy.

This was just about what I was expecting—deflecting concerns by making fun of the accuser while barely engaging with the arguments.

I’d appreciate it if you dropped this holier-than-thou attitude that you’ve displayed towards me in our interactions so far. I know I’m a newb, but I don’t enjoy being talked to like I’m lesser and having my arguments dismissed out of hand because I dared to try to contribute an ISO/read that questioned your town status.

It’ll be like when Insanity replaces for Nap is CoC and didn’t post because he had no idea what was happening

well, no.

If a replacement is willing to come into this shitshow, let them.

but yeah its extreme

it was still better than an insta-modkill on the slot

Anyways are you happy with me now Marshal? Can I get your endorsmeant for succulent healing tonight

I mean it ended up as a modkill eventually xd

I, marshal, think derps should be healed.
