Day 1 begins!
Zeke starts the day off by talking with Lokiduck briefly and being suspicious of Chuggernaut immediately, as well as mentioning that he doesn't trust Sawneeks for it as well.
Only thing that sticks out to me is chuggs giving you a town read. His reasoning for that is weak. Saw jumped in backing the read as well.
Saw's explanation for reki mentioning how they felt she was more talkative is interesting. *makes mental note*
Loki what is your mafia experience?
This quote below is in response to Chuggernaut expressing frustration at EzekalRAGE.
Ive only had 1......maybe 2 interactions with you. How can you be frustrated 🤔
there is also the double talking you are doing. Zeke seems town, but can be slippery.
This is after Exo has claimed that he has a double vote and mentions that he reads it as NAI from Exo.
What actions do you want to take on exo?
It's serms like you either want them to prove it or you want to lynch them.
It's day one, I can see this play coming from town, neutral, or scum. So nai for me atm.
*shrug*
The rest of these are pretty self-explanatory but he started to press Chuggernaut more and more and really wanted to see him gone Day 1.
I guess I should go more in depth with my thoughts on this.
7 hours til eod. They only thing that you can say is "Rage fooled me last game, better safe than sorry."
Take last game out of the equation. That takes out your bias for scum reading me (because I tricked you) and bias for town reading chuggs(because you didn't believe him last game).
Who else would you vote for/prod?
ok Vote: TheChuggernaut
You are putting too much weight into flavor.
I was going to ask you about it earlier when you made your post about not getting involved in the flavor discussion, on who you thought was using it as busywork. Now I see.
Interesting you say you would vote chuggs, but vote stan instead. IIRC werent you like townreading chuggs earlier or was that a joke?
My vote on chuggs: I listed earlier how I didnt like his fence sitting stances. Whether the stance is wrong or not doesnt really matter to me, as long as you make a stance. Weems being on him for the grammar thing was interesting. Chuggs also calling on exo and meat to "back up" his possible scum read of me stuck out to me as well. Which is why I wanted to see what meat thought and Exo thought about me individually in this game.
Exo nothing "real" on me.
meat has a null read on me.
Let's get a round of protect/kill/inves.
Protect: Ketkat
Kill: Chuggs
Investigate: Saen/Exo
Day 2
Zeke starts Day 2 off by talking about flavor some surrounding Exodus and then wanting more info on B-dubs.
Seems like it is just a vig shot, which should be nai.
hmmmm. Ill need to reread.
I would still like everyone's thoughts on dub's power.
Grammar wise that looks weird, but anyway. Where is the dancing to their tune, it's day 2? At the time meat couldve been scum and that couldve been the right tune.
These interactions and opinions on B-dubs are interesting because they're kind of bizarre. B-dubs ended up shooting the person that was leading votes very early in the day, and Ezekal and B-dubs talk about how they should vote for the 2 people who were on that person early on. Ezekal does this and continuously talks about how he doesn't trust B-dubs, but never once puts a vote down on him.
That was the theory I was working on T_T.
Scum has a role cop, found the lovers. Scum dubs "randomly" shoots meat.
It's why I wanted ppl to give their thoughts on dubs' power before bringing it up. Who would just be "ok" with the power?
It seems exo got more flack about his power/claim than dubs has.
Dubs' first move was to put the ppl voting meat up for lynch.
Mostly the fact that given the choice between Chuggs and Neeks, Dubs' wanted neeks gone. I scumread Chuggs more than neeks. Also following my theory that Dubs is scum and wanted to see how he would react if I went towards the option he didnt want to pick first. He wanted Neeks flip b4 chuggs.
He just went "im cool with chuggs flip as well" when I questioned him.
Compare them. Like i said ppl were on exo about his reveal power. Dub's seems to have just been accepted even though his power resulted in the death of two townies and exo was harmless.
Then from there I wouldve took the ppl who were upset with exo and ok with dubs and see how they interacted wiith dubs throughout the game beforehand. looking at a possible scum dubs angle. Then go the other way(those who were ok with exo and then not ok with dubs) looking at a possible scum exo angle.
It didn't magically alter into a real chuggs vote. The chuggs vote was always real.
Scumdubs is fun to think about but ultimately NAI until more info pops up. I've seen this town vigilante shot before and went deep down that rabbit hole with CeeCee when they shot Stan randomly outta no where. Plus there is the issue of scum having a role cop check meat/saen and lucking up and finding lovers. So chances are slim that happened. Then there is the command happening in the thread instead of behind the scenes.
You say I got all these reactions from ppl about dubs using his power - Where are they? You still have failed to list them. Please point them out. I got ONE response. What can I do with that? Nothing.

Day 1
(on page 11)
I'm gonna lean town on Exodus.
I had the 2x vote in my last game and I was town.
It may be NAI, but I think it leans towards being a town role, so that's my first read.
(on page 12)
Same.
I'm leaning on Zeke just because his *truffleshuffle* is triggering memories of Maple Street.
It just got tense.
But he ended up being town and I was wrong.
But I'm not really leaning on him right now. Day one votes are always a crap shoot.
I'm not leaning on weemadarthur, either, who is at 5 votes right now. They've always been a good player - asking the questions and stuff, which makes me thing that's one of the reasons scum want them out.
I'm thinking there's scum in those 5 votes.
At this point, the votes on weemadarthur were : Sawneeks, Ketkat, Stantastic, TheChuggernaut, and lokiduck and no more votes were placed on wee before the day ended
VOTE: Stantastic
Okay, I'm gonna make this my day one vote.
I read some of Sawneeks and KetKat's reasonings and, though I disagree with them, there's a reason there.
I think Stan's vote is trying to solidify a train on weemad.
I agree with this too.
So keep an eye out for: Zeke, Z-Beat, LP, nin, and even weemad.
Day 2
My current reads so far...
Town
- B-Dubs - no explanation needed
Town-leaning
- Exodus - people say his role is NAI, but I'll take it as him being town
- lokiduck - I appreciate his start-of-day analysis and I think he's got a god read of what's going on.
Null
- EzekelRAGE - Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt for now. His playing style may seem pushy, but that's how he played in Maple Street Mafia, and he turned out to be town in that one.
- Everyone else not on this list - I'm just not picking up on anything right now.
Scum-leaning
- Stantastic - Not getting any particular vibe from him, but someone to keep an eye on because
- TheChuggernaut - His vote on weemad and his vote on MeatWad are highly suspect to me.
Okay, I'm town-leaning on B-Dubs.
In the games I've played, the role has been town, so that's where I was coming from.
And as for Exodus, I had a double-vote role in my last game and I was town, so I'll assume he's town unless something else changes my mind.
Between you and him, I'll go with oreo for today.
I really don't like jumping on a train late, but I don't want to make a throw-away vote either.
He did seem to want to get a train started on MeatWad, who turned out to be town, so now I'm interested in seeing how he flips.
VOTE: oreomunsta
I'm going with experience that scum votes on a train are usually in the middle.
I don't think they want to place a first vote on somebody, but when they see something going, they vote and get the train rolling.
I think I'm good with my vote for today.
If oreo flips town, I'll join you in a Chugg vote tomorrow.
Freak it.
I hate last-minute vote changes, but given the last couple of posts, I'm even more interested in seeing how Chugg flips
VOTE: TheChuggernaut
These are all the posts from WhySoDevious that give reads or interactions with other players, and while there isn't a large number of them, I think we can actually see some useful interactions here. WSD was putting a lot of distance between Zeke and himself, and it makes me wonder how much he was doing that with anyone else on his team. It's worth noting that line about scum being on weemadarthur train specifically, and the way that he starts scum reading two specific people out of it in Stantastic and TheChuggernaut
Malus posts
Most of malus posts in the thread center around this very first one where he came in and immediately tried to tell us that Exodus is scum, and implies that EzekalRage vs Chuggernaut was Scum v Town.
Hi everyone! I'm new here (as in this thread)
Just as a warning. I didn't manage to catch up all the way due to this damn heat we have here making me extremely tired.
I will say however that I have reason to believe that exodus is actually a scum double voter. Only thing making me hesitant is his vote on Zeke on Day 2 though that was when Zeke was still fairly behind TheChuggernaut in votes, so may just be an unlucky bus.
Him claiming right out of the gate without much to gain looks to me very similar how that role was played in Love Boat 3 where the user was subsequently heavily town read but later flipped scum.
I feel like it's a waste of time to investigate B-Dubs. I have actually never seen a scum day vig (and even mafia scum wiki lists it as a town role). Also why would he shoot the top wagon of the day? There were lots of people suspicious of meatwad and not much competition so he could have shot someone else and let the lovers be lunched.
I think my top three at the moment would be:
exodus
z-beat
Queen Kong
Though this is mostly based on days 1 and 2 since I still haven't read all of day 3 (or only skimmed it)
exodus: as already explained I have reason to believe it's a scum power but no absolute guarantee so a check wouldn't hurt.
z-beat: He seems really invested in the flavor talk but to me it seems kind of pointless and is just distracting. Scum will probably have fake names to claim so discussing this isn't really helpful.
Queen Kong: She comes across as a typical new player, but some questions seem kind of on the nose (sorry if they are genuine questions). In my experience every new player that rolls scum will play the noob card to get town cred. I do like her contributions today, but there's really not much on D1 or D2 that is useful.
Oreo could also be interesting looking at his curious absence here. I didn't find him to be particularly suspicious the first 2 days so I guess people base their read on what happened D3? I guess he voted Meatwad D2 but there were a lot of people suspicous of Meatwad that wouldn't vote, which generally makes me more suspicious than those that commit to their read.
Malus contributions are a little less than WSD's which is expected since he was only here for 1 Day, but his reads are very different and he starts throwing shade at Exodus and Z-beat in particular. Oreo gets an honorable mention.
Outside of the Exodus plan, Z-beat was already receiving a lot of heat and Queen Kong had received a little bit of talk about whether she was actually new enough. Oreo was on quite a few people's radar as well. These feel like much safer reads than the one's from WSD.
Notably out of both of these two neither wants to investigate B-dubs and they believe that he is in fact a Town DayVig. No one has really been pushing for a B-dubs flip too hard, but it's interesting they went for the Exodus plan over one that could implicate B-dubs.
I'm going to have more in-depth thoughts on these soon, but going back through and reading all of these posts and gathering them really turns my brain into mush. I wanted to go ahead and put these out here in one comprehensive place and get some thoughts from all of you on this though
