rb i would like to see you post more content unrelated to gopher or hado, so i can read you better, before day 1 is over.
Pretty sure I've given my reads for at least 6 people not named Gopher or Hado, but okay.

now about RB:
im not a mind reader, so when RB produces a list like that, and doesn't list you, or sinny, or pmj on it, it's natural for me to find it weird.
Sinny I've just been actively avoiding her all game because if she's mafia I can't read her at this point and I cbf splitting town votes and wasting time arguing with her just because I think some of her reads are dumb on Day 1.

first of all, happy is playing exactly the way he played last game. now the weird thing is...RB says he reads pmj as green because he's playing like happy played last game XD why is one excused and the other put on a suspicions list then?
Pmj's not off my suspicion list. He's just not as high.
Also fwiw, Happy
isn't playing the way he played last game - that's the point. Pmj is playing
like Happy from Game 1, while Happy is playing
not like Happy from Game 1. I'm not just talking about activity, it was the whole, "oh I have a horse-head and a tommy-gun, look @ me I'm mafia! hehe!" shtick that Happy played last game, which Pmj is playing this game. Happy isn't. He's just playing like he's time-poor.
Also, while I think that shtick is really fucking stupid, but it's not scummy.
Again the point being that Happy who was town last game, has changed tactics
this game and is not longer game 1 Happy. Pmj is the closest thing to Game 1 Happy - which was Town.
Also as I've already said, my main goal in this game (at least for Day 1) is to actually find Town as opposed to hunting scum. Last game I narrowed down 3 mafia candidates on Day 1 - all of which were town and one of which was an awful lynch (Cheeseums), and another that
would have been awful to lynch because she was actually really good later on (Nebulous). If we lynched Ruminator and she flipped green, I think I would have just laughed.
Not to mention, all my other soft-scum reads on Day 1 were also Town. I read Sinny, ESC and Helvete all as potential mafia. In a pool of 12 players last game, I made reads on 50% of the players and didn't hit a single mafia even by chance.
Suffice to say, my ability to actually find mafia Day 1 is undeniably shit, so I have to use different tactics and have different goals. So instead of being on super high-alert and hammering at every single inconsistency, I'm trying to find Town and make sure we don't lynch any of the people I think are Town*

third, RB didnt state his reasons for not suspecting you until veryyy recently. in my eyes at that point, you were also not contributing much or pushing for anything.
Is this addressed to reluctantly? He posted the stuff I said that I read as Town on like Day 1 of Day 1. But he was out of the way, no one was really targeting him so I didn't see a need to defend him. I don't even see what's weird about protesting a wagon that you disagree with?
jenny and cheese were not on the list either. you might say because they were were unavailable, but then again why is bronto there then?
Which list are you even talking about? Do you mean
this post?
Read the
first fucking line.
"Okay firstly, there's too many lurkers still. Not by post-count, by actual contribution."
I don't consider someone a lurker just because they make a small number of posts, if the posts they're making are informative and useful and/or indicate what their alignment is.
Reluctantly looks town, despite low posts.

also hado said he reads urakro as town. i dont recall rb saying that himself(im writing from memory so i might be wrong), and i have no reason to think of hado+rb as one unit. so...
My Day 1 goal is to lynch mafia, but with the awareness that it's unlikely I'm going to be right about any of my reads Day 1. So as an added caveat, I don't want to lynch useful Town either. The thing is, this just increases the chances of hitting mafia anyway imo, because instead of just going off, "I think these people might be scum", I'm building a case off of a group that I think are scum (will lynch gladly) but also a group that I think are town (I won't lynch Day 1).
Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. But at the very least I'm not going to be lynching the Cheeseums of the game, ridding town of an active member and leaving a town with as many actives as lurkers - because it's impossible to even win at that point.
