Just to reiterate, I do believe that Flower/ Indigo were all of the mafia present during the minigame, mostly due to odds and advantage.
I can't write off the possibility that there was a 3rd mafia, but I found it more likely that 2 seemed more likely if we are in fact looking at a 4 man cell.
My reasoning may not really be a very strong one all things considered, but it basically is based on that I find if all the scums were present, namely 4 players; that would give scum a 1/2 chance to get off a free killshot. Though it would also possibly also create an unwanted link between all the members, which you cannot really run away from forever.
3 players just seems a bit weird, since that would leave out a single player, and so I make the assumption that 2 mafia were in the minigame as it would still give them a advantage of 1/4 chance to get off a free shot.
So yeah, while this is ultimately conjecture, I therefore strongly believe that everyone apart from Flower/ Indigo is not mafia.
Even just looking outside of this arbitrary narrative that I've conjured, with the exception of Yoho, I had already independently reached a similar conclusion about their alignment; this only just serves to strengthen my reads on them.
Naomi and Fuji are my top Town reads based on their thread play.
initially I believed Fuji was playing like an Indie, but later it does seem to me that his frustration over Orca inexhaustible accusations on him came from a genuine and townie PoV.
Naomi I just don't have any reason to believe is scum, she's not neccesarily the most proactive player, but she doesn't really need to be. She has had good input. Tonally and content wise I believe Naomi has been very cooperative and interested in catching scum.
Town in my book.
Luka - I personally am not like 100% sold on, however I cannot deny that him taking on the titanic Soul Killer head on was quite formidable; he has even by his own admission been fully absent for a large part of the first DP.
He came back in this phase, where his only contributions - if you could even call it that - was to cough up some shitty OMGUS PR theatre play over a vote I made on him the previous phase.
He seems to have completely lost interest.
Crowned Witch- I am putting her in less confident town/ Black sheep pool for a similar reason as Luka.
Tonally and content wise I am reading her Town, and I do like what she has put out. But it does seem that her contribution is a bit lackluster generally speaking.
I wouldn't want to demote them to null though, because I do still think they're more likely town than not. Would either way not mind to see a bit more engagement.
Emil & Red Night - AFK
Orca, to summarise I just feel their wagoning and reasoning has been completely whack the entire game. His choice of targets and fights he picks just seem they have intent behind them. From my PoV he's been good at fanning the flames of weird wagons that doesn't really have any strong merit.
Overall his performace and content does not give me any confidence to read him town.
Alwaysmind - Similar reasoning to Emil/ Red, he's pretty much AFK, but I have a little higher expetation for contribution in the thread. I do not recall seeing a non-fluff post from him all game.
Pot Goblin - my first impressions leaned me towards towny, but now I feel that he's taking too much of a backseat.
I think he's been doing a very good job of blending in, but I think that him promising reads/ catching up etc. without any followup many hours later does stand to question is reliablility.
He has been providing reads lists, but I don't know, the way he has been interating in the thread does appear a bit soft and safe to me.
Alexis - I mean, I don't even know where to begin. He says he cannot dispute allegations of using AI due to "not being good at defending himself". Not only did he make an indirect admission by purposefully avoiding any question pertaining to his A.I usage, which to me does not seem very promising.
Not to mention that he mysteriously and magically now haev a PR (with extremely improbable and overexaggerated restrictions), and also out of nowhere "poisoned" too.
This guy most likely needs to go.
