    This feels off for kind of the opposite reason; like, "oh man we're so unlucky, woe is us, I'm totally with you guys."

    Pretty sure I already mentioned this but this is slightly +townpoints.

    So you're saying it's too scummy to be scum.

    Not sure but was someone arguing with me that Rubicon/Jari are potentially w/w? Because how does this early interaction not scream "distance"? Particularly considering how Rubicon played his hand in MM6.

    Like, look at the full interaction -

    Does that look like two town genuinely scumreading each other, trying to figure each other out? Not so much, no.

    Like, I've been barely skimming the thread but does this interaction hash out with the way they've treated each other since? It's like they punched each other in the face, casually, then went about their business.

    If Jari flips wolf I stand by just snapping off Rubicon here. And vice versa, tbh.

    Oh god I'm actually laughing. I really hope Newcomb is town and has randomly chosen this to be his first re-engagement post, and it's not the scum team telling him a good issue to prod at, because that's hilarious.

    Yeah I know you guys were arguing about it but I kinda glazed over it.

    In my eyes it's barely worth mentioning myself, like, an initial vague gutfeels thing that maybe is the tiebreaker on an either/or thing later, not worth a ton of words.

    I'll read your stuff now that I'm really reading though, when I get to it.

    Speaking of which, my dinner's ready. Back in about twenty.

    Yeah, I usually don't look super hard for partner interactions until I have a flip, but that's an interesting thought at the very least.

    Oh yeah, and this might be kinda stating the obvious here, but I do think that if Jari/rubi is the team, Vira is almost certainly town.

    This is why I hate being obvious with my game.
    Never again.

    Look at wacos plan if he gets elected.

    How am I to think those are his real thoughts?

    He basically takes my suggestion, adds a minor variation to it and calls it a day without reasons.

    I was the only one to propose the 2x auction detective so far and he does not waste a lot of words on it himself.

    It feels like that post is playing to an audience of One - me.
    And I hate it. In my bed at the moment, might get into it when I am actually awake.

    Elect: Jan

    than I do about Waco.

    No, I'm saying certain scum archtypes care more than others about their perception as town, like, pay attention to what they think they look like when they do stuff, and Vira's scumgame fits that archtype IIRC.

    I don't look super hard for Orca whales or bald eagles but I notice when one jumps in front of my face.

    Sounds like "too scummy to be scum" to me.

    Also, I'm messing with you. You can ignore me.

    I mean, I just feel like the guy is probably town, and that you might be less likely to die if you're not the marketplace owner. And if those things are true, it doesn't really matter where the plan is from. That's sort of the point - the marketplace owner is as good at planning as the best living planner is.

    If you can show me a reason to reasonably doubt Waco's towniness, though, I'll certainly reconsider my elect vote.

    I have a fairly ~spicy~ read I'm excited about dropping after I finish catching up, but based especially on some of his later content I'm like 75% sure tom's a wolf here.

    Not sure what that means for Jari since IIRC those interactions don't look especially partner-y but I want to save that for after I'm finished and I have a more holistic view.

    Useless fun fact.

    I saw two bald eagles on the day the interaction you are talking about happened.
    It was in the local zoo .. but still ..

    I don't know whether he'd have thrown that vote at me if he were scum.

    Speaking for myself, from my point of view he's been (marginally) more town since then. I am surprised he hasn't come after me more.

    What does this mean?

    MM6 was me creating as much WIFOM as possible around who my partners were. Incriminating townies with fake distancing and buddying up to my partners. With great success. I see no connection with the posts you're talking about.

    The first part of this expresses some token paranoia and hand-waving about me but the second two points are basically predicated on us being town with no thought to us not being town.

    Would be super shocked if Typhon leveled this as mafia and put his partner fonti with me like this to the point that I'd proooobably clear fonti if Typhon flipped wolf here although I can see the reality of that being kind of uh. Paranoia-inducing.
