Oh, nah, I didnt think you were layering. I just thought it was ironically funny
Plan:
Every day, each person makes one post.
All of them claim three roles from the list.
All of them can choose to provide results for their claims.
We move forward and continue, and don't dwell on the claims.
We come back to the claims if and only if someone dies and they flip one of their claimed roles.
We now have that person's information to work off of in the future.
The purpose: It gives power roles a means of claiming their roles in a smokescreen so that scum cannot tell who is what
Before I actually forget: People with power roles can still choose to hide their role. We'll have plenty of time in the future to look at claims if someone has a red check
At least some votes are starting to fall into place. I'll be back in a few hours.
Morning. Just woke up but I have to go to work soon. Did catch up on posts though. I only got time to post about me being scumread.
Pikachu face.
Summing up.
Frinckles is doubling down on his rvs vote
Loldebite says I'm scummy because i lack conviction behind my day 1 reads.
I mean...did we have any meaningful posts or interactions when I made my day 1 read? Then I worked and showed my thought progress about buster, because he was the only interesting player at that time.
Also if I'm scum for saying pros and cons about Stella's plan, and asking for more opinions, then wow maybe I shouldn't be open for discussions at all.
I'll come back later during breaks
We are 24 hours into Day 2!
Current Vote Count:
ikarusdk (1): Frinckles
Renegade (1): BusterCannon
BusterCannon (2): ItalianoVD, Nancy Drew 39
Auwt (1): Gikkle
yoshida (2): Auwt, Renegade
Gikkle (1): MartinGG99
Skip Day (5): Stellaria, Loldebite, yoshida, ikarusdk. Clemensthelemon
Reminder that not voting count as skipping the day.
What if this is buster's attempt at distancing from his scum buddy renegade
And I feel too much of the discussion today has been around Buster. I'm guilty of this.
Stellaria, Nancy, Renegade, Gikkle, loldebite, and Martin all feel like town to me.
~If winning doesn't matter, then why do they keep score~
I'm also waiting for the dynamic between ikarus and Frinckles to evolve. Frinckles seems more like the town between the two, but he could just be really good at sounding townie.

Good Evening! I am here
Until post #367, I have diligently examined the contributions of every player. While I have only had the chance to briefly look at newer posts, I intend to analyze them tonight.
At first glance, I am pleased to notice a shift in focus from a stagnant discussion of roles to discussion of reads.
I will share my thoughts on other players in a subsequent post later tonight. However, if you are asking about my general thoughts thus far, then I have to tell you I am not a good forum mafia player. With a modest 10 games under my belt and a 50% winrate, I am relatively new to this. I have been in 2 games with Jester and I must admit I dislike Jester games as it gives too much room for the mafia especially given how some players from either alignment can start behaving like Jester at any point. This is one of the things I have been trying to figure out earlier regarding ikarus, particularly in light of the mention that they may have received coaching from a champ. Considering this information, a push in that direction would be worthwhile effort since I found their involvement rather hollow and further led me to find gaps between their reads and reasoning.
Additionally, I have observed a considerable level of activity in the RVS, with players neglecting to consider the potential consequences and how they may impact future reads of the game, particularly wagonomics. I am willing to hear your further thoughts on the game @ItalianoVD

Hmm perhaps I am overlooking the "townread the one who scumreads me" scum tactic possibly being employed by Renegade.
It could just be playstyle, but in this hypothetical scenario Renegade knows BusterCannon is town and instead of going after the person who suspects him (which seems more like a townie response, especially given the ridiculous reason) he tries to "guide a newbie" as he has stated and even believes he is town.
For those that scumread Renegade, tell me in your best case why I should be scumreading Renegade.
For those that townread BusterCannon, tell me in your best case why I should be townreading Buster.
@Frinckles : You said that scum!Renegade will show himself eventually. Is that in voting patterns or in posting? What is it that we should be looking for?
~If winning doesn't matter, then why do they keep score~
While I observe the contributions of Clemens and MartinGG, it becomes apparent that one is showing greater effort compared to the former. However, I fail to comprehend the reasoning behind those who take MartinGG for granted or disregard the presence of both players altogether. Perhaps this is a matter we should be looking into tomorrow if not today.

Renegade I still want your rolecard buddy.
I really like the way you break things down Yoshida, even though you say you are somewhat inexperienced, especially your last paragraph. I agree that a lot of players don't really cherish their votes and pretty much throw it around like it doesn't mean anything, sometimes even voting for townreads or voting for someone just to "get them active" both of which are pretty weird to me. I like your analysis and look forward to more of it as the game progresses.

ikarus - loldebite - Renegade
I feel like elimination within this pool seems the most reasonable to me. I could elaborate on this but I want to give everything another read first to see if I am missing something.

I understand this vote, and it is something I am considering. However, I am having trouble understanding why ikarus didn't follow their thoughts on Buster or present an alternative. They have brushed off my last question and disengaged from the discussion. The reason I suspect the three names I mentioned is that they are easy to dismiss Buster as a new FM player while they haven't been reading each other. On the contrary, Gikkle seemed to be engaging those three.

Okay I'm back from work. Time to dive into it!
What kind of tone do you mean? Like, i think this but i think that but im not so sure kind of tone?
I am being honest in my thought process as they occur in this game. If that means sometimes I am edging on a topic I am uncertain about (but it seems alot of players view uncertainty as wolfy), then I still will. I want discussions to happen. If people disagree with me, then I would like to hear about it. More discussion=more information we can use to solve the game, wouldn't you agree? If I was to hold off on my thoughts because I know I am uncertain about something, then I would only be posting 1 thing at a time and I don't think that helps anyone.
And I think you intentionally ignore my subsequent posts that provide the exact 'thought process' i was talking about. I understand if you are posting as you are catching up, but if that is not the case, then I don't like that kind of approach to solves.
I am assuming you mean the stuff I highlighted in bold?
Then let me ask you. Is Buster town or scum? Or is he neutral? Please do tell me. Also, I wouldn't want to you to change this answer as days progress.
Speaking of Gikkle,
Gikkle and Stellaria seems to be on a good frequency with my thoughts while MartinGG's style reminds me of a certain strategy from a partner I encountered in a previous game, which raises my suspicion. Buster might be playing his worst town game but at least he have done a ton of work engaging people into the game. Clemens presence already makes this game feel like we are 12 players.
I have nothing negative about Nancy or Italiano.
