1 Montmorency (Pzelda,)
4 El Barto (Zack, Cuth, Csargo, Monty)
5 PZelda (Insaner, Dya, GH, Fable, ladd)
1 Newyn (Choxorn)
3 Ladd (Logic, Egix, merl1n)
1 Insaner (El Barto)
2 Choxorn (Empoof, Newyn)
Wonder if the game's just easy.
Barto ended up on Insaner, pretty late too. That was kind of weird considering the circumstances but Insaner's 99% town anyway so I'm not looking into it any further.
Here's pzelda's vote on Monty, early on in the phase:
I think this is a strong look for Monty, considering that he and Barto were the two main wagons early on in the phase. Pzelda's townreads are also worth noting. Insaner is town, Poof is flipped town, Egix and Merl1n are there and unflipped. I feel like there has to be one partner in there. I know that I wasn't a big fan of Merl1n yesterday relative to the thread but haven't really looked at his posts yet in-depth.
2. Csargo
4. Choxorn
5. Zack
11. ladd
12. Cuthillius
13. Egix
14. Newyn

Scum probably in here. Let's get this list pared down even more.
Vote: Egix
I should have removed Zack from the above.

Where I'm actually at.
barto cares so little about surviving and it's actually starting to seem kinda wolfy
this looks pretty good tho. he couldn't know that el barto would die at night, so hed be voting 1 partner and shading the other
something i thought about overnight when looking at who was in the game was that i think no one mentioned csargo at all yesterday, despite him barely posting. other ppl who didn't post much got scrutiny/votes, but he got none. meaningful? idk

Yes, in both MU Anni and Throne game
In the former of those, he was on my scum team so I didn't have to read him ;), but I do think he played very well. He was one of the team captains, I guess you could say.
And in Throne, he was the Mad King (leader of one of the evil factions), I was a neutral, and I TRed him for most of the game.
So that considered, if he's scum this game, he's probably not taking it as seriously cos this isn't a mash game? Or cos he's just a goon?? Idk really.
I'm kinda internally debating with myself whether lynching you d1 is a good move or not
As for Mont, I can't really interact with him further until he comes back, which I don't think he has done yet
Couple more Egix posts I found noteworthy. First quote has him responding to Zack, second is to ladd.
On its own, I'm 99% sure I want Egix dead today and will probably not be moving my vote from him at all day. Similar to what I picked out about pzelda being scummy for. Lots of backchatter about old games, little actual solving. On principle I think his pushing of Monty is also a bad sign and a good sign for Monty, but that's almost certainly me leaping too far ahead and looking into associative reads assuming Egix is already a dead mafioso.
---
In terms of why I like Monty for town, I just find it pretty hard to picture that the leading wagons for the first half of the day were both for mafia. Like, they had to push some townie to start off, you know?
monty is a villager imo
perfectly fine clearing him, just look at the people voting him mid day+afaik pzelda isnt a busser
choxorn and egix look the worst to me so far
Hold ladd to possible m/m for zelda-bart if one flips scum.
I know I've passed on most MU stuff. Walk me through how, as it sounds to me, GH became the next Pizza on your meta.
Cool.
Tie Barto and Zelda.
yea
didn't someone make a post about how pzelda is a wolf if barto is a wolf, but not necessarily if barto is town? or something? maybe i'm mixing ppl up

Word of warning: Monty's a busser, so I think solving him in terms of how other people treat him is going to be more useful here. I still think he's town though.
yeah that was me

okay
maybe you're just good here then, sorry about pushing on you d1! at least i didn't manage to get people to listen to me, which feels kind of interesting given both of the top voted ppl were bad. what were the others doing??

I think we might just have an easy game, especially if Egix is one of the last remaining scum.
Reread Choxorn's iso, still too early to tell for me. I'd like to see him more involved today.

Csar, what are you thinking right now? Can you give me an overview of your headspace?
early game insaner/el barto interactions are kinda weird, but insaner threatened to kill himself if pzelda was good yesterday so that's probably not something
Csar, what are you thinking right now? Can you give me an overview of your headspace?
Feel like Egix or Choxorn should be lynched today. Choxorn's hard to read in my experience, and I don't know anything about Egix. I read Choxorn's iso yesterday and wasn't impressed I guess you'd say and what you've posted of Egix doesn't look good.
I'm not sure what to make of ladd at this point. I want to give them some amount of credit for putting the damning vote on zelda, but looking at the vote count at the end makes that hard for me. I wouldn't vote them anytime soon though.
Felt like merl1n was good on my initial read through, and haven't really seen anything to change my mind so far other than being off the two main wagons yesterday.
Don't know anything about Newyn and nothing has stood out to me about them so far.
I'm 90% certain Logic is town. I'm pretty alright with saying you, Zack, and Insaner are town.
I feel like Cuth is playing different from what I remember about their play, so it's up in the air.
I have no read on Dya, other than zelda vote is good.
Montmorency (Pzelda,)
4 El Barto (Zack, Cuth, Csargo, Monty)
5 PZelda (Insaner, Dya, GH, Fable, ladd)
1 Newyn (Choxorn)
3 Ladd (Logic, Egix, merl1n)
1 Insaner (El Barto)
2 Choxorn (Empoof, Newyn)
I think Monty is town, but I'm always wary of him. So there's that.
Montmorency
12-08-2019, 03:37
Cool. I was a bit worried about Poof there too, so that'll remove some tinfoil.
Will look into vote movements, etc tomorrow probably.
I'm lock town!
But without knowing the differences in powers between Barto and Zelda, it's hard to read the wagons. Is there 1 mafia, 1 3P remaining? 2 Mafia? 1 Mafia? Mechanically alone, with a distribution like this the remaining scum(s) could be anywhere, including on the scum wagons. Fable, for example, could certainly be scum if Zelda was less important for night actions than Bart.
people not voting pzelda or el barto at day end: choxorn, logic, egix, merl1n, newyn
i know im good and i think logic and newyn are good. that leaves choxorn and egix
I agree, but don't townread Newyn.
i still think it could be ladd, but i need to read with the information that el barto was bad and see what that changes. ladd and choxorn were options to vote but the top 2 vote getters were both bad. feels meaningful
Considering Bart's last vote, and the existence of a ladd wagon as a counterwagon to Bart at least, and merlin's quote of ladd on Bart's self-pres, and his consistent tone, I would actually say he's probably clear. Egix is a good place to start today, I told ya he was mean (and I heard he likes pillaging).
something i thought about overnight when looking at who was in the game was that i think no one mentioned csargo at all yesterday, despite him barely posting. other ppl who didn't post much got scrutiny/votes, but he got none. meaningful? idk
I'm going to err on the side of caution and say he's within town meta.
Don't feel like that's a great reason to remove Monty from the list, if you want to be thorough.
I did vote both Barto and Zelda (and Barto, that was for a reason).
yea
Is this what they call mindmeld?
Word of warning: Monty's a busser, so I think solving him in terms of how other people treat him is going to be more useful here. I still think he's town though.
To be precise, I only bus on occasions when I see no alternative (except for those few times when my partners wanted me to bus them early as a gambit.)
I suppose I'll compile one of those representations of vote history for D1 wagonomics. Tomorrow.

didn't vote for bad(s), but think they're good:
logic
newyn
didn't vote for bad(s), could be bad on own merit:
choxorn

dead/confirmed bad:
el barto
pzelda
I did vote both Barto and Zelda (and Barto, that was for a reason).
:2thumbsup:
in a irl game we'd just instantly kill egix and choxorn and then see where game stands in this kind of situation
I don't know how but, a few months away from turning 30, I feel that i don't have the levels of insanity required to batshit-post my way through two games in stereo, so I'll take on this game as I do the 36/12s on MU. Out for the day in the summer heat, back home, concentrate on the thread a bit, then back into overnight horror film marathons. I just can't post 12 hours in a row as I did when Zack et al. first knew me.
OK, I'm parking my vote here for now. Be more constructive or else.
vote: Fable
i forgot el barto attacked fable for memeing. initial instinct is it makes fable good, but it could go either way from barto's end. i've attacked partners for not taking the game seriously before. i like fable's play independently later in day where he could have stayed on ladd but switched to a wolf instead because he'd have felt bad if we voted ladd or something?? idr details but it seems okay
fable probably good
Things wolves say about other wolves
if barto is a villager, ignore
i dont really like ladds early game posting about both of the dead bads but this post is hard to shake
newyn voting for el barto but only doing so because he liked the people voting el barto rather than having any read on el barto themselves is good i think

This is pretty much where I'm at right now, but we get the added bonus of 45 more hours to fully iron things out. :wizard:
i reread through game and updating my groupings that seem so popular with ppl
confirmed/dead good:
empoof
very strong good:
zack
insaner
probably good:
ladd
general
montmorency
likely good:
fable
dyachei
newyn
maybe good:
logic
cuthilius
csargo
maybe bad:
choxorn
egix
dead/confirmed bad:
el barto
pzelda
ppl are already voting egix so
vote: choxorn
maybe i should have logic a grouping lower than i do, bcz with ladd no longer being a strong bad read for me idk why i think logic is good. if there are bads voting for bads it is probably one of cuthilius or csargo
general and ladd are close to being up 1 grouping but the interactions going both directions are stronger for zack and insaner
fable is maybe 1 grouping too low too, i think i think i think he is more good than the other two in his grouping, but all 3 are probz good
ama if u have questions
This is where I'm at -
Never lynch outside of a lylo situation: Zack, Insaner, ladd
Probably town: Cuth, GH, Monty
Voted for confirmed mafia: Fable, Dya, Csargo
Don't like their vote but their posts seem towny: Logic, Merlin
Lynch with fire: Egix, Choxorn
I'd prefer a Choxorn lynch over Egix for selfish reasons (I'm clear if he's mafia :laugh4:)
Merlin would be higher in the probably town section if I base it off only his content but I'm a little worried that his posts feels abit too towny for someone who's supposedly new to forum mafia and I don't really like his reason for voting ladd yesterday.

I'm about to go to bed, and while obviously we still have a long while to go before the day ends, I'd much rather prefer an Egix lynch here over a Choxorn one (or one for anybody else, but this post is talking about Choxorn specifically). This is partly because I think Egix has straight-up been scummier than Chox, partly because of various nightkill-related musings I've had that I'll share if I deem the time to be right. Somebody ping me about this tomorrow or Monday in case I forget to elaborate on it.

Why is ladd in your top category?
Why is ladd in your top category?
What he posted yesterday regarding El barto and Pzelda doesn't feel w/w to me and more importantly, El Barto listened to Insaner and switched to ladd when Insaner asked even though he was voting for Insaner before this. I don't see a wolf willingly going along with that if they're partners with ladd.
Maybe I was wrong about merl1n.
i guess pzelda can be lynched, but i think a lot of people pushing/voting them are suspicious
Who were you talking about here?
I feel validated and embarassed at the same time.
Also for ladd to be a wolf, the top wagons at the end of yesterday was w/w/w or w/w/w/w if both ladd/Choxorn are wolves in which case, what are the wolves doing this game?
I feel validated and embarassed at the same time.
:bow:
I have some thoughts but I think I'd rather hold on to them for now. I wanna see how today develops first.
Tally:
1 Montmorency (Pzelda,)
3 El Barto (Zack, Cuth, Csargo)
4 PZelda (Insaner, monty, Dya, GH)
1 Newyn (Choxorn)
4 Ladd (Fable, Logic, Egix, merl1n)
1 Insaner (El Barto)
3 CHoxorn (Empoof, Newyn, ladd)
LMK if i've made a mistake.
insaner and somewhat dya pushing on them so strongly skeeved me out as i didnt think theyd been all that memorable. i thought ladd was bad and insaner was maybe bad, though they werent together. with two confirmed bads to look at posts of, i think i was probably wrong on all accounts there

im agreeable to egix being lynched, i just want them to both have votes. theres only a few ppl who didnt vote a now known bad and i think the others are all good

pzelda wasn't that memorable? I can't say I fully understand where you're coming from, but fair enough.

i think you were even less memorable if that helps. i thought you and pzelda were the same person because someone called them capage, and i thought that was you posting on the wrong acct or something xD

That's my special ability, I'm the least memorable person you'll ever play with. Remember that. :soapbox:
What makes you view Cuth as probable town at this point?
I've read them as town since early yesterday because I was pretty much on the same page as him regarding Merlin. He also voted for a confirmed wolf relatively early so unless something changes, I see no reason to reevaluate my read on him for now.
I don't think I can really defend how crappy I was yesterday- I'm busy IRL a lot and don't always pay enough attention and that turns into me being way too inactive.
Current thoughts: Zack is lock town, merl1n, Insaner, ladd, GH, and Fable are all likely town, lots of the thread looks somewhere between town and scum to me. Looks like lots of folks wanna lynch either me or Egix today based on how we acted yesterday, and I also thought he was suspicious yesterday- but I also tracked him doing nothing last night, which is far from clearing but is certainly a point in his favor.
Really need to read things a bit more to get a stronger idea of who's scummy, I'll get to that later but for now I need to go eat dinner.

I completely forgot Cuth was on Barto before me, it didn't register in my head for some reason.
I think it's probably just Egix tbh.
Was gonna ask what Choxo did in order to remove himself from exactly rand category but they just claimed tracker.
Oh they claim track on Egix. I don't think wolf Egix would've thought himself to be a good kill carrier given his position at the end. I think mechanically we aren't supposed to lynch him now =/ But I think he is a good info lynch and I don't recall him ever commenting on my pzelda push yesterday.
Mainly I want them lynched so GH can clear himself by flipping a wolf. I liked him a lot today actually, buy if Egix flips villa I will be suspicious.
I'm town. I don't have any powers (apart from my voice and vote ofc)
I feel validated and embarassed at the same time.
1 wolf hard pushed. 1 wolf hard defended. Balanced as all things should be.
This is a really rough post.
I wouldn't have made such a careless post about someone if I actually knew they were scum.
Should take a look at Empoof's reads at some point.
heyo scoobs, how is kife going?

I'm sorry. I should stop trolling you now. I feel bad about treating you the way I did yesterday.
Visor said who they were in the recruitment thread on mu. The reason I decided to join this game was the absolutely hype playerlist, and Capage was one of many players I was eager to play with. I feel a little bad for murdering him with my meta case when he wanted to play anonimously. I would not have gone for him as hard as I did yesterday without prior experience with him.

Well, Insan is town unless he hellbussed, which I doubt.
Fable and Logic are still my pet townreads.
And Chox is probably just town, considering his claim.

can you go more in depth on fable/logic?
and who do you think are the wolves? if you are a villager you have the best pov of us all

Like, I don't recall you memeing much about anyone else in the game.

Hi, I've been taking a break from forum mafia but this player list looked too good to pass up.
Cho gets a pass today at least with his claim but still don't like Egix. Going nowhere just means he's probably not mafia PR, doubt he'd carry kp after yesterday.
Claiming vt after Cho claimed to have tracked him as his opening post feels off to me and "I wouldn't do x if I knew they were scum" is pretty much just wifom.
Well since it looks like Egix has given up I suppose there's no use holding this back now. What I was gonna say is I think that Cuth is the last wolf based on the following quotes:
I like Newyn. I don't know if I'm comfortable calling him either alignment yet, though.
Pzelda's opening was rather bizarre and really really awkward if wolf, so villager points there. In particular the interaction with Zack.
I'm unsettled by wagon comp on Monty, think I'd rather hold off there for now, since I'm personally not confident on reading him generically speaking.
Was going to vote Logic, but now I sorta think him calling GH and Zack null, if lazy particularly in the first case, is mildly villagery.
Hum ho.
would you say capage's the kind of person who makes equivalently off the wall reads as any alignment?
hm
lot more willing to excuse ladd based on those reasons, given the size of the game and how we've just started
but curious to see how that evolves over time
appreciate the answer, genuinely :)

Told you I was gonna get ya after Capage flipped wolf.
Everyone else looks like a villager to me. Maybe Monty? He is just plain weird. Choxorn is self resolving as wolves will want to get rid of him if he is a village tracker. Just give him until F3 to catch all wolves and snap him then if he fails to do so. I don't see who else it could be.
I have today completely free but tomorrow I'll barely be able to post so the plan is to re read as much as I can today and PoE this game
doesn't seem too hard atm but I wouldn't wanna let something slip by us
forgive me for the likely number of consecutive posts I am about to make
I find Monty's unrelated thoughts to be some type of content for content. I'm not a big fan. Other than that, It's been a nice game so far. I don't even feel like throwing my vote around and killing someone.
Actually, Empoof has been the loudest voice so far and I like him for that. I read some mashes on MU and he's usually loud trying to powertown or powerwolf. Finding the difference might be hard but this has felt like a honest effort so far.
Townreads so far:
Empoof
Merlin
Insaner
Egix
Zack and Barto produced some activity and I definitely spotted them. The latter's definitely more lackluster of the two. Zack's late posts are solid and filled with micro reads. My only fear is that the read on him is so consensus. Barto's posts are trashier with more fluff, but I think that him going against the thread might be a good look.
Cuth made a long post I skipped, then returned to it and read the last sentence:
I'm not a big fan of the wording here. I agree with the read, tho.
The rest is of players consists the bottom pile. I guess monty and gh stand out but not in a good way. GH might be too much of a MU champs meta read, but Monty's just been making fluffy unrelated posts.
Vote: Montomercy
just don't think it makes much sense for p to awkwardly defend barto (who was being pushed more) in this post and then decide to buss anyway by voting monty
also El Barto have we played together before? did you have a different username?
dyachei why did you ask this question?
There really isn't as much spew as I thought from El Barto/Capage, at least from their sides. Will try to read it from player's sides later on, but for now between the ISO function on here (no offense, I just got too used to all the tools on mu) and me being a bit burnout of ww in general, I don't really feel like doing too much back reading and would rather just real time it when people are around mash style.
Anyway here is the situation.
Zack is a villager, everyone agrees and he should never be lynched.
GH is a villager, he is just playing like his obvious villa self imo. Not much to do with his zelda push really (2 wolves were wagons for a good portion of the day so wolves bussing is perfectly plausible esp later on), I think it could totally come from wolf gh given the situation but like he is just villagery and that's worth more than anything else to me.
Insaner is a villager too. The way he pushed zelda, zelda reaction to it, overall villagery, etc...
Monty is a spewed villager, don't think him being a wolf makes any sense.
I am an obvious villager.
I don't really see Fable playing yesterday like he did as a wolf almost ever. First of all I don't think he votes me the way he did and then he just busses pzelda like that? Just a villa.
Logic is a villager cause GH says so (and also cause I think his push on me while bad, made logical sense)
These guys are all ~locks to be villas.
Then there is merlin who imo has been villagery but also very wrong. I'll re read his EoD later but I think his post about agreeing with the last person to post that GH disliked shows a mindset that is just hard to fake as a wolf. Also he as Empoof top villa read.
That leaves us with:
dya
Cuth
Chox
Newyin
Egix
Csargo
I think last 2 wolves are in here.
Chox claimed tracker and is self resolving as long as we lynch the other wolf before we get to f-whatever. Would leave alone for now, he is not endgaming with that claim.
I think dya will probably be able to clear herself just by being villagery given time, I didn't mind her d1 but not to clearing levels.
newyin is in a similar spot as dya, maybe liked his d1 slightly more.
Csargo is just rand unless someone has meta on them.
cuth could be a wolf? I haven't read the context of his barto vote, will do so in a bit but going by what I remember they did nothing particularly clearing and I just read their long wall for the first time rn and it just seems like a word salad. If you are a villager, can you quote me what you think is clearing for you since you feel that way?
Egix has the least going for them, I don't think this is a smoking gun as much as GH and am willing to entertain them being a villa, but they just have nothing going for them except the fact that maybe they would not have the balls to go after me as a wolf but that's worth little at this point. His monty push in particular was super lazy and Egix can you explain more in detail why you thought I was a wolf so much that you voted me d1 and ended the day voting me?
vote: El Barto
I do think Monty looks better, and I'm less comfortable with my company on that wagon
plus Barto is definitely pretty low-key
and I think it's a helpful lynch no matter what
can you elaborate on both of the bolded?
I know the first is kinda self explaining but I wanna know exactly how you felt about people on both wagons at that point and what made you switch like that
also for post game credit, I had empoof as a PR
that's the thign that kinda makes me fear this game maybe not be super easy as we are thinking since after that EoD I feel empoof would be the nk only if choxorn is a wolf or if wolves are paying attention and PR read him as well
i liked insaner staking a LITERALLY 100% read strength on someone, bc i dont think a bad ever does that, but him walking it back some mitigates it a little
my problem with that is i think insaner might be bad, so unless he's willing to stake a VERY strong claim on something that he can be held accountable for i'm reluctant to follow his lead
merl1n can you go again over why exactly you thought insaner could be a wolf?
also why that stopped you from giving any kind of read on pzelda all game afaict
alrighty, merl1n d1 is really wolfsided and not as villagery as I remember
still feel his mindset on the "last one to talk seems right" is something hard to fake as a wolf
so would still lean on him being a villager
Insaner spitroasted a wolf and thinks it's a role madness game. The wolves didn't know barto was going to die and should have been expecting to sacrifice him d2 if they let me live through the night.
Empoof defended zelda iirc and was not really gunning after anyone except choxorn that I remember. I don't know why they would kill him if chox is villa
Not sure why everyone thinks dya is so villagy. She is near the bottom of my POE.
I'm also chuckling at insaner's God read of capage now being correct 3 out of 4 games, which is literally just rand lol
Maybe one of those people that was all "why do people think Merlin is so villagy?!?!?!" is w/w with Merlin
Maybe one of those people that was all "why do people think Merlin is so villagy?!?!?!" is w/w with Merlin
lol an ever green
choxorn just claimed tracker fwiw. I agree with you that game would make more sense if Choxorn was a wolf but shrug, seems pointless to go there today
Also let's take a moment to acknowledge that I had the sickest soul read of all time
kind of a weird read but I kind of like that GH stepped away from the game after the hydra game ended. feels like if he were wolfing he'd be more likely to try hard after a loss there
This is like the reasons Yates would give when he townread someone
I don't get it at all. Feels like an enormous reach
When I was reading eod, the way GH joined the zelda wagon made me think of how he joined me on Darren Sanders in the finale
GH is an extremely likely villager but I wanted to seed the thread with that knowledge anyway
This is like the reasons Yates would give when he townread someone
I don't get it at all. Feels like an enormous reach
:thumbsup:
was weird for me as well, think I called it out yday
What wolf team would have ever had egix carry the kill there?
what do you think about scoobs? I kinda don't think that's the way he would buss but not suepr sure if I remember his meta correctly
also interested in your cuth read
what do you think about scoobs? I kinda don't think that's the way he would buss but not suepr sure if I remember his meta correctly

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On both
reading pzelda/barto posts I think the wolf team didn't wanna buss at least early on fwiw
any ORGer has tips to read csargo?
one of egix/merl1n is almost surely a wolf imo
just going by pzelda read list and by how I think he was trying to play
Egix can you explain more in detail why you thought I was a wolf so much that you voted me d1 and ended the day voting me?
When I first voted you, it wasn't completely serious. I was aware that you could have just been memeing, but I didn't have any better idea of who to vote, and as you could probably tell from the 1610 reference there was always a chance that you were scum seeking refuge in audacity.
Then when I voted you again closer to EoD, it was because I ultimately decided that a wagon on you was more likely to go through than one on Monty (I understand that people may find this scummy, but putting my vote where I predict it will have more relevance at deadline is something I normally do in games where I can't make deadline [see: all of my MU games])

ok buy why did you think I was a wolf?
literally just because I was trolling a bit? that's it?
I mean your votes this game were:
- monty for saying I was 3p
- me for trolling a little bit
I hope you understand that we need soemthing more friendo
liek who are the wolves if it's not you and it's not chox?
What wolf team would have ever had egix carry the kill there?
In all honesty?
One where I am a goon and my buddies are non-multitasking PRs.
At least that's how it would be on MS. I have no idea whether multitasking scums are the norm or not on this site tho.
If I'm to put this in a readslist I think it goes something like:
Logic
Fable
Zack
Insaner
Monty
ladd
--- town line ---
Csargo
dya
Newyn
Pzelda
Cuth
Egix
Empoof
Choxorn
--- null/idk line ---
merl1n
El Barto
Spicy Merlin placement
Dumb read incoming: if Merlin is a villager, and he was getting read villa by pretty much everyone, how come no one ever asked GH about his placement of Merlin? No wolf thought to ask GH about his Merlin placement there? Kinda strange if he's town. That's such an easy and common wolf question / discussion point to have with villa GH
I'm going to sleep lol

Not just for that, he also made a vote that seemed like it had been tacked on the end without any forethought.
I don't have much more to give honestly, if you're expecting me to have built solid cases on Day One (which was never my strong suit!) then you're asking for too much.
As for who scums are, I really don't have much of an idea yet (still need to have a go at rereading D1) but if I had to name two people I would say Csargo+Cuth.

doesnt feel great given he was empoof top villa read but we'll see
When I was reading eod, the way GH joined the zelda wagon made me think of how he joined me on Darren Sanders in the finale
GH is an extremely likely villager but I wanted to seed the thread with that knowledge anyway
Fwiw I didn't get a good vibe on GH when he was riding the pzelda wagon either. It seemed like he was looking for excuses to sway the votes elsewhere the entire time.
Is dya a busser? Because she was the person who stood behind my case on pzelda the most.

I can see where Zack would make the comparison to my DS vote in the last game where I was mafia against him, but you're forgetting the part a little later on in the day where I independently iso'd Zelda, picked out a post that I found to be a bad look, and signed off on the lynch based on my own reading.
Insaner spitroasted a wolf and thinks it's a role madness game. The wolves didn't know barto was going to die and should have been expecting to sacrifice him d2 if they let me live through the night.
Empoof defended zelda iirc and was not really gunning after anyone except choxorn that I remember. I don't know why they would kill him if chox is villa

Well to be fair the one time I misread him was in the biggest game of the year where I entirely skipped most of his posts lol
Is dya a busser? Because she was the person who stood behind my case on pzelda the most.
yes
havent seen her wolf in a while though, generally I am the one who rands wolf when we play together
I think merl1n wanting to hold me accountable for Capage flip shows he really had no clue he was going to flip wolf. His posting was super villagery even though his reads were very wrong by the looks of it. He's still in my top towns.

She certainly may have felt like Capage was going always down here with how much I was pushing for his death while claiming to have a god read on him. And his posting wasn't very good. It's possible that she thought she was obligated to read him right after I said that this is what I expected of her. Perhaps I shouldn't be giving her THAT much credit for that and read her with more scrutiny.

I wouldn't have made such a careless post about someone if I actually knew they were scum.
My problem with that post is that it's just a bad post regardless of the person you're townreading's alignment. It's like... of all the things to make a joke read for, using "thrice" instead of "three times"? I know you dropped the phrase "tonal memes read" but it doesn't even make sense really, just seemed super awkward in general. And then to have PZelda flip mafia, and have you make that post at a time when they weren't picking up much heat (and thus your post was more likely to disappear into the ether assuming PZelda would have survived for longer than he did)... just oof.
Well, Insan is town unless he hellbussed, which I doubt.
Fable and Logic are still my pet townreads.
And Chox is probably just town, considering his claim.
What about scumreads? You see the great majority of us going through the thread and POEing it down, or at least trying to. There are obviously some disagreements over exact placements (dya, merl1n, etc), but if you're town you're in the unique position of knowing that the general consensus is incorrect at some point besides you. Who do you think we should be lynching instead of you today?
Egix explain why it was more likely to go through iyo
Insaner was willing to vote you, and the general impression I was getting was that other Monty voters might be moving off him (e.g. on to Zelda/Bart)
can you elaborate on both of the bolded?

Not voting: Merl1n, Dyachei, Csargo
This seems correct?
to add some context, this was the votecount at the time where cuth switched from monty to barto cause he said wagon composition looked better
I don't get why you thought so since you had pzelda as a villa read?
and you didn't town read anyone on bart wagon except zack afair
feel free to correct me if I am misremembering something, or if insaner vc was wrong
I feel pretty decent about emp/gh v/w world in some order but curious to see how some stuff plays out
why did you think so? and what was that "stuff"?
Insaner was willing to vote you, and the general impression I was getting was that other Monty voters might be moving off him (e.g. on to Zelda/Bart)
alrighty, I knew you were probably gonna answer like this but worth a shot anyway
so why did you not care to see why people were wolf reading bart and pzelda?
I'm telling yall this better flip wolf or I'm sussing GH HARD tomorrow.

I thought that that specific choice of word made it more believable that he had actually read the post more than once, which is something that I thought town would be more likely to do. 'Thrice' is quite an archaic word so I would feel like, if someone actually went out of their way to read a post more than once, they would also go out of their way to choose fancy words.
Yyyeah it's only when I actually type this out that I realise how absurd it sounds :sad3:
*: It's not like I was intending for that post to go unnoticed. I would have been able to give that explanation at the time if anyone had asked me about it when it was new.
As I said to ladd earlier, my GTH scums are Csargo and Cuth... possibly dya as a plus-one. The problem I see now though, as I type this, is that really I'm just going with the consensus on you/ladd/Zack.

this seems villagery
keep it up broski
wait, you are syaing you have no read on me /gh/zack but you have one on like newyin for example?
that'd be peculiar
also egix, can you explain why you villa read fable/logic more in depth?
From what I've read of Fable's games (mainly Champs), I would say that they are more aggro (can't really think of a better term than this, it's like they actually do a lot of stuff to look town) as scum, and more laid-back (or, dare I say, lackadaisical?) as town. Ofc I think that Fable's play this game is more in line with the latter.
As for Logic, my impression of his meta is that he's a bit like me - obvious scum as scum, and not-obvscum as town. I thought that p#321 (idk if this forum has a button/tags for postnums, apologies) was a well-thought-out post (hence why I described it as a source of good vibes) and I feel that if he were scum it would have been... not as good? Obviously this read doesn't apply had that post been written by anyone else, and this isn't as strong as the Fable read.
wait, you are syaing you have no read on me /gh/zack but you have one on like newyin for example?
that'd be peculiar
I forgot Newyn was a thing tbh
He's null for me rn
vote: GeeEich
Huh, I'm intrigued by this. Lemme find your reasoning.
alrighty thanks
guess I ll read some of your games to check if it s true there is such a difference between your villa play and your wolf play
alrighty, I knew you were probably gonna answer like this but worth a shot anyway
so why did you not care to see why people were wolf reading bart and pzelda?
still would like this answered too
Is dya a busser?
I'm pretty sure she's well known for it. IIRC she herself says that she busses like a madman.
Huh, I'm intrigued by this. Lemme find your reasoning.
The first reason is he was trying to find reasons to move votes off pzelda yesterday. I might provide quotes when I'm on computer but not rn.
The other reason is this post.
My problem with that post is that it's just a bad post regardless of the person you're townreading's alignment. It's like... of all the things to make a joke read for, using "thrice" instead of "three times"? I know you dropped the phrase "tonal memes read" but it doesn't even make sense really, just seemed super awkward in general. And then to have PZelda flip mafia, and have you make that post at a time when they weren't picking up much heat (and thus your post was more likely to disappear into the ether assuming PZelda would have survived for longer than he did)... just oof.
I don't believe GH believes his scum read on you. Like, you have so many things going against you: you ended up on what seems to be the only villager wagon at EoD (and the timing of that vote was horrible as well imo), you had no good interactions with any of the flipped wolves, and this quote where you give a meme read on pzelda is truly unfortunate. I think that all of the above means that we oughta just hammer you right now tbh. And yet he is giving you so much benefit of the doubt here which I just don't understand. It's like he has 0 faith in you flipping scum.
Btw the way ladd is questioning Egix right now feels honest to me.
I guess it isn't the fact that GH is giving Egix the benefit of the doubt itself but rather the contrast between how he started today ("Egix is always the lynch") and the sudden loss of conviction that is putting me off so much. Egix didn't make any towny posts in that time and GH didn't come up with any new suspects either so I don't understand where this change of heart is coming from.
so why did you not care to see why people were wolf reading bart and pzelda?
Sry, missed this
I had read enough to get the general idea of why they were being scumread but I guess I just hadn't found any of it compelling enough.
how many bads are we probably looking at in a game this size? insaner keeps talking like there's only 1 left but that seems like not many. we usually have 9 good/3 bad in our games

There are usually 4 wolves in a 17er. I was assuming Egix was a wolf and I was talking about his remaining partner, but I am now beginning to doubt it.

i could have sworn you said something about egix being the last, but it was a bleary eyed read through of stuff i missed overnight on my phone. ill chalk it up to misreading/misunderstanding, ok thx
I think it's probably just Egix tbh.
Was gonna ask what Choxo did in order to remove himself from exactly rand category but they just claimed tracker.
was this post i think my brain added a left in there somewhere
it feels awfully convienent that the 2 ppl i was suspecting are semiclearing each other with the track to someone going nowhere. they probably arent bad together tho, espec with choxorn saying it doesnt clear egix
I guess it isn't the fact that GH is giving Egix the benefit of the doubt itself but rather the contrast between how he started today ("Egix is always the lynch") and the sudden loss of conviction that is putting me off so much.

Where are you seeing a loss of conviction? Am I just completely missing something here?

PART I
Prefatory statement: Have fun with your towncore guys but I've learned from painful experience that you shouldn't take them too rigidly or extensive. Many a successful town has been felled by complacency out of the early game. GH for one knows this well. Giving people until F3 never works because there's inevitably too much disruption in the meantime. I'm still lock town though. And I still have to produce wagonomics.
I'm about to go to bed, and while obviously we still have a long while to go before the day ends, I'd much rather prefer an Egix lynch here over a Choxorn one (or one for anybody else, but this post is talking about Choxorn specifically). This is partly because I think Egix has straight-up been scummier than Chox, partly because of various nightkill-related musings I've had that I'll share if I deem the time to be right. Somebody ping me about this tomorrow or Monday in case I forget to elaborate on it.
I don't know if you've done this yet, but I ping.
I don't think I can really defend how crappy I was yesterday- I'm busy IRL a lot and don't always pay enough attention and that turns into me being way too inactive.
Current thoughts: Zack is lock town, merl1n, Insaner, ladd, GH, and Fable are all likely town, lots of the thread looks somewhere between town and scum to me. Looks like lots of folks wanna lynch either me or Egix today based on how we acted yesterday, and I also thought he was suspicious yesterday- but I also tracked him doing nothing last night, which is far from clearing but is certainly a point in his favor.
Really need to read things a bit more to get a stronger idea of who's scummy, I'll get to that later but for now I need to go eat dinner.
Now, I'm not saying we should lynch Choxorn today but his unnecessary and jarring tracker claim makes me think the following, if you could hear my thoughts as I was stylistically representing myself reading them to you:
KILL CHOXORN
KILL HIM WITH FIRE
HE'S A MAFIA TRACKER
HE'S GONNA GO DEEP FOR GOD's SAKE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING
If he goes deep we're all dead
0. Tracker is almost as mafiatized a role as roleblocker.
1. There was no reason for Choxorn to make that claim in this gamestate.
2. Despite a tracker claim there's little reason to expect town-Chox to resolve by nightkill because, if he were town Mafia would have many other plausible targets - whom Choxorn could point to to excuse his own survival as scum-Chox.
3. Any Town PRs out there, blocking or investigative or whatever, get on Chox's rear tonight.
Choxorn is one of those players who can go deep UTR when his partners have been demolished. If only Renata were here.
But I'll let it slide today. Not tomorrow or any day after, but today - not you.
Tally:
4 El Barto (Montmorency, Zack, Empoof, ladd)

PART II
Well since it looks like Egix has given up I suppose there's no use holding this back now. What I was gonna say is I think that Cuth is the last wolf based on the following quotes:
GH, Zack, and others should tell me if I'm right to notice that Cuth is more passive-aggressive lately. Is that real or is my meta busted?
lol
you don't say
This post sounds like caught scum.
also for post game credit, I had empoof as a PR
that's the thign that kinda makes me fear this game maybe not be super easy as we are thinking since after that EoD I feel empoof would be the nk only if choxorn is a wolf or if wolves are paying attention and PR read him as well
Can you explain what you mean? What does an Empoof NK have to do with Chox specifically being mafia?
I'm also chuckling at insaner's God read of capage now being correct 3 out of 4 games, which is literally just rand lol
How is 3/4 rand?
So, wanna get Choxorn, or not yet?
Also let's take a moment to acknowledge that I had the sickest soul read of all time
Renata soul read on Choxorn Representative Democracy - and then she and Cass nabbed Barto soon after. :eyebrows:
But yeah, good job if you're town.
any ORGer has tips to read csargo?
Read the two mini games in 2018. In one he was scum, in the other he was town. My reads were switched though. There was also the Pokemon game in 2017 where (primarily) Zack nailed him for scum.
My career gut on him is probably ~rand in the end.
This post is so stupid :laugh4:
I don't really get it, but why is it stupid? Is merlin your partner? :smash:
I think merl1n wanting to hold me accountable for Capage flip shows he really had no clue he was going to flip wolf. His posting was super villagery even though his reads were very wrong by the looks of it. He's still in my top towns.
Yes. Merlin is mislynch reach goals for mafia IMO.
Insaner was willing to vote you, and the general impression I was getting was that other Monty voters might be moving off him (e.g. on to Zelda/Bart)
Who were the voters on me besides Zelda, Bart, and Cuth?

the way i see it we had 4 options yesterday by the end: pzelda, el barto, ladd, and choxorn. bads knew that el barto and pzelda were both bad, so its important to consider that when looking through what happened. why did pzelda and el barto end up as top 2 vote getters if there were other options? im good and i was pushing ladd. empoof was good and was pushing choxorn. but ppl didnt do either
i still dont understand how el barto or pzelda were correctly identified. ive read their posts KNOWING they are bad last night and it doesnt seem any different from some of the other players who werent posting much yesterday. i can accept maybe its the kind of thing where when u know someone rlly well u pick up on small things, i do that in irl games where some of my friends i can just know when they are bad because its small differences from when good
i think with choxorn and egix not both being bad we had to have had some1 voting for a bad who is also a bad and knew they were doomed. idk if i want to kill ppl who voted for bads yet though
Still reading up but pls don't listen to Monty on Chox lmao

can you elaborate on both of the bolded?
I know the first is kinda self explaining but I wanna know exactly how you felt about people on both wagons at that point and what made you switch like that
4 El Barto (Montmorency, Zack, Empoof, ladd)
3 Montmorency (El Barto, Pzelda, Cuthillius)
most recent vote tally at the time
monty was trending up relatively heavily, i've been reading zack soundly villager all game, and i also thought empoof was town-- my only real hesitation there was gh wolf-reading him pretty strongly
didn't and still don't really have much of a personal opinion on ladd's alignment
at this point i was on board with the idea of el barto because, like i said (more or less), he typically has a certain fire that was, as zack pointed out, definitely lacking
also i think there's been a similar lynch in the past with me on the wrong side? something like that
i remember this being a Thing before
but the other option was just a completely disengaged village barto who'd been about the most talked about person this game, and that wouldn't be a terrible lynch either if it came to that
also while i was initially reading pzelda as villagery because his posting was too awkward, other people who actually knew him were saying otherwise so that was trending down
but i didn't have as much reason to go there or anywhere else, barto was the strongest wolfread i had apart from private tinfoils which were coming in and out of style throughout the phase

where?
and why was monty trending up?
if you explained it yday, just say so and I can dig it up on my own
0. Tracker is almost as mafiatized a role as roleblocker.
1. There was no reason for Choxorn to make that claim in this gamestate.
2. Despite a tracker claim there's little reason to expect town-Chox to resolve by nightkill because, if he were town Mafia would have many other plausible targets - whom Choxorn could point to to excuse his own survival as scum-Chox.
i read the opening rule thing after part of it got quoted to me d1, and it said powers are randomized, so my understanding is that any role can be good or bad. i dont understand why you think #1 here? everyone had him and egix as the two ppl that looked the worst, and he had clarifying information potentially on both ppl
#2 also seems wrong bc if hes not killed and we narrow it down to only 1 bad left he is incredibly strong as a role. so he either has to clear ppl as bad or bads have to kill him or risk getting caught
with regards to #3, investigative seems fine but not blocking??? he can either catch a bad if good or has to target in who we want him to target as bad and be accountable for target selection/result
tracker is the investigative role i play w/ the most in irl games bc no one likes cops. it's rlly weak early in game but rlly strong with most of the bads dead. i actually kind of think chox might be good for the claim bc as bad it means he never wins when making that claim and not dying
Can you explain what you mean? What does an Empoof NK have to do with Chox specifically being mafia?
empoof is a strong player, but in this game there are other strong players who are also villas
if chox is a villa, empoof didn't have the best EoD so it'd be weird to kill him over someone like zack or gh (who I personally thought was gonna get attacked tonight)
Where are you seeing a loss of conviction? Am I just completely missing something here?
In the post I quoted, lol.
Cuthillius
12-08-2019, 17:49
also @ ladd, i'm not going to quote specific posts of mine because i don't think that's really going to help anything
is less a "i did this specific thing" than a "i'm playing outside of my typical wolf range" in a fair number of ways and i'm disappointed people like gh in particular aren't picking up on that where i'd expect them to than a "i'm objectively super villagery"
in particular: i'm terrible at motivating myself to play as a wolf unless there's good reason to
if the game looks quite winnable/i'm widely villageread OR i have wolfmates i know and trust
i can easily outpost my village self if i need to in terms of general wim, whether that's length or frequency or intensity
if none of that is the case, well
i typically post like a wet paper bag pretty quickly
granted, if there's a four-wolf team that's perhaps not the most compelling argument but it's very definitely a thing
furthermore
this is sort of a two-headed point
number one, i bussed in some unfortunate places many years ago and the reputation has managed to stick with me for a long time since i've renounced the practice in almost all cases
if i did so in this particular game i'd be setting myself up perfectly for loads of fun in that department
number two as such my wolf game is typically to try to outvillage the villagers, which i actually manage surprisingly frequently, and then convert, which i don't
but i typically go out of my way not to bus and to sort of poke the game in different directions
which, let's be honest, hasn't really happened this game
i've been pretty passive and not expecting anyone to listen to me or trying to make them, but not in a dejected sort of way like i've given up?
iunno
it's a thing
empoof is a strong player, but in this game there are other strong players who are also villas
if chox is a villa, empoof didn't have the best EoD so it'd be weird to kill him over someone like zack or gh (who I personally thought was gonna get attacked tonight)
Zack said he was gonna be busy on N1. GH was somewhat wolfread by a few people and so were you to an even bigger extent. I think Empoof was the best NK from a purely lolspk standpoint.
can ppl explain reads on logic?
i thought he was good bc of his read on ladd, but with ladd probably being good now, logics posts look pretty suspect
Cuthillius
12-08-2019, 17:52
where?
and why was monty trending up?
if you explained it yday, just say so and I can dig it up on my own
gh's wall shortly beforehand
not like a top wolf read but
Empoof is gut mafia for me. Can't really explain it now. Kill me tonight if you don't want me to flesh this out please.
monty was trending up because i didn't find anything objectionable about his posts after the initial one i took issue with and the homesiters were all saying he was rather villagery
Who were the voters on me besides Zelda, Bart, and Cuth?
Oh that's right, I remembered wrong.
It was actually this: I thought that {Fable, Logic} ({town, town} both then and now) was an overall purer wagon than {Zelda, Bart, Cuth} which I had as {null-town, null, null-scum} at the time.
Cuthillius
12-08-2019, 17:54
oh and i think someone asked why i was associating gh and emp v/w possibilities
because of that post
the dichotomy seemed strange
and i have a lot of respect, typically, for gh's post
but it was out of place compared to the rest of the thread and i thought it seemed like the sort of post i could see wolf!gh coming in with as a not incredibly risky hot take potentially

It's very good timing if you're mafia.

Dangerous mindset. You have no idea who else would be left alive at F3. Like I said, I know Chox knows how to go deep.
with regards to #3, investigative seems fine but not blocking??? he can either catch a bad if good or has to target in who we want him to target as bad and be accountable for target selection/result
Depends on the role assortment. You know anything about that?

You can't think of any worlds in which Choxorn makes it to F3 and mislynches? Mafia control the night kill after all.

It was actually this: I thought that {Fable, Logic} ({town, town} both then and now) was an overall purer wagon than {Zelda, Bart, Cuth} which I had as {null-town, null, null-scum} at the time.
you mean this was the reason for sticking to me and not voting monty instead?
Still reading up but pls don't listen to Monty on Chox lmao
Why not?

can ppl explain reads on logic?
i thought he was good bc of his read on ladd, but with ladd probably being good now, logics posts look pretty suspect
GH has a ~100% read on Logic afaik and he says he is a villager
I also don't really mind logic's posts anyway
i think general is good
he had a very different read on me than the rest of the game and i think bads are reluctant to go against grain like that. he also voted for barto, and then followed empoof onto choxorn, before going to pzelda, when he could have stayed on choxorn and had the accountability b on empoof
Why not?
Oh I don't know, maybe because the wolves HAVE TO kill him if he is real or get roasted?
In the post I quoted, lol.
I'm just not seeing what you're seeing apparently, I don't see a loss of conviction in that post.
I can see where Zack would make the comparison to my DS vote in the last game where I was mafia against him, but you're forgetting the part a little later on in the day where I independently iso'd Zelda, picked out a post that I found to be a bad look, and signed off on the lynch based on my own reading.
This is the scummiest thing I've seen GH post all game tbh. I find it hard to believe GH would vote a scum partner so early in the game, from my experience with him, but I haven't played with him in a while. It's possible I guess, but I don't think it's likely imo.
oh and i think someone asked why i was associating gh and emp v/w possibilities

no, i dont think a claimed tracker that has reason to be suspected ever wins in a f3 as bad. itd mean he had to avoid catching the final bad probably multiple times and the mental gymnastic hoops and sheer # of ppl hed have to clear would be impossible. blocking a potential strong role for town seems not worth it at all, even if he could be bad
Cuthillius
12-08-2019, 17:59

eh, not if he peaced out entirely for the majority of the first day
but yes he fits that category more than most people in this game lol

Yeah sry

Zack said he was gonna be busy on N1. GH was somewhat wolfread by a few people and so were you to an even bigger extent. I think Empoof was the best NK from a purely lolspk standpoint.

Remember Chess game? GH basically committed suicide to avoid bussing Logic. Not sure how to extrapolate though.

if i remember correctly, i was figuring the lynch would clear some things up there
because there was likely to be at least a little contrast between the viewpoints of the thread
as it is that happened and gh swung more towards the center of consensus
which i think is fairly resolving for that thread

i had bad reads on d1, but it doesnt mean i dont have a lot of exp playing with trackers in irl games and how to handle them. ur not considering that hes going to have a lot of night actions between now and a final 3 to either catch bads, not catch bads, or have to explain away not catching bads. i think ur concerned about something that is basically impossible to happen
Yeah sry

You can read the game, it's called Chess Mafia (full disclosure: I solo-scummed to victory). Pizza had some kind of soul read on Logic based on differences from the previous game's performance, something to do with passive-aggressiveness. He was annihilated, and GH and Zack sacrificed themselves trying to save him. Now apparently GH has taken over as the knower of Logic meta, and this game was two years ago, so I figure we can defer to his judgement. I would like to see Logic comment more though, especially now that he's only playing one game.

Can't give him that satisfaction amirite

sorry if I am asking you a barrage of questions (I am trying to decide if I want to stone wall your lynch), but why exactly do you have no read on me/zack/gh? and why ar eyou nto trying to get one?
for example you had me as scum yday and now today you are sheeping consensus on me without understaing the reasons, why?

I was aware of it from scrolling down in this same subforum, I don't really think I'll have time to read it tho.
I didn't know you were another one of his buddies, I was just assuming you had been town in it :rolleyes:
I'm at my second job this weekend, and thus I haven't read much beyond the flips. But the wagon composition tells me Ladd probably isn't scum.
Will post more later, but that's my updated reads for now.
I'm town. I don't have any powers (apart from my voice and vote ofc)
:inquisitive:
also I let the tinfoil theories run for a bit cause it's fun, but gh is ~always a villager
only small detail giving me pause is that he should have me as clear but besides that I don't really think he is a wolf
don't let the #fear get the better of you

Well er, thanks I guess? I'm probably pretty biased here but I think that anyone who knows me well would have easily determined that I was scum...
The problem is that this game is going a lot faster than I was anticipating, and atp I'm feeling like I can't go back to reading older posts from this game without missing out on a lot of more recent stuff.
Hmmmmmm you've got me on that one. So what are those reasons?

id like to hear this logic (xD)
if anything, the fact that the bads didn't vote for ladd despite him being the #3 vote getter should make him more likely bad himself at a superficial look

I'm always town here for two reasons: First of all, while I wasn't on Barto quite as early as Zack, I too quickly pointed out a discrepancy in one of his earliest comments and would have explored it further were the f3 in my other game (now concluded) not about to start. Secondly, I consistently voted for and pushed the two mafiosi pretty much all day yesterday, always ranking Barto ahead of Monty in my personal "lynch preference" list, jumping to PZelda, independently isoing PZelda and providing further ammunition to the fire, and ultimately ending up on him. I briefly switched to Chox, yes, but that was mostly out of deference to Empoof trying for some wagonomics and I was always intending to end back up on PZelda, as I think I made pretty clear over the course of EOD1. I will tolerate this tinfoiling of me for exactly the remainder of this dayphase, but once Egix flips mafia then it needs to stop.
Just to be safe ;)
did you go back and recheck or rememebr it by heart?
I don't wanna go too much into detail on this one but it's actually been bugging for a bit and it should be fien since it's in the OP
idk. reading this other game egix linked, it felt like he faked a lot more content in it than he would have if he was a bad this game

Re: Egix
As far as I'm concerned, he is looking behaviorally better today, yes, but the PZelda list I quoted earlier today from D1 where he lists four townreads, two of whom have already flipped town, is almost certain to contain a partner and I think it's more likely that it's PZelda than Merl1n (the other unflipped townread).

think that's a poor assumption that a bad has to include a fellow bad in their good reads
(admittedly its part of why im voting egix xD)
general, skim his posts in that game egix linked? i think there different than here, more serious and more contentful. is giving me a little pause, but idk how much to weight that given 1) he linked and chose the game himself 2) idk how much ppls play differs from site to site/game to game in this setting

I'm about to head out and won't be able to read it in detail for the next few hours, but I don't really ascribe much to any differences there might be simply because of the environment (it was specifically a newbie game and this one has a lot of experienced players who know each other well) and the phaselengths are very different. Easier to fake content if you're doing so over a period of 10 days and have time to think about it compared to 48/24.
i thought dyachei was maybe good because of her hard attack on pzelda and fact that like only ppl she asked questions to were the two known bads. maybe that's a little too on point u could argue

There's other wagonomics-related reasons too, but I'm annoyed at this point and just wanted to get my thoughts down. Will get more into detail about it when I get back but I really don't deserve the treatment that I'm getting from exactly you right now considering how my D1 and would greatly appreciate it if you recognized my contributions and started looking elsewhere.
gh has a point that egix just makes the most sense from every PoV
also it does look like he doesn't care about who the wolves are
but I find some of the things he is saying kinda villagery?
we shall see
i have a kind of uneasy setting that im getting set up for a mislynch, but its hard 2 tell bc i was pretty wrong on d1 and its understandable to have doubts
Call me dumb, then.
no. id call ur actions dumb, but not you xP

I know you cliamed tracker but I find it weird that you admitted that yday you played like crap, considering that imo your posts were whatever and you simply were inactive

newyin
dya
cuth
soemone has a strong read on any of them?
I think newyn is good! maybe its dumb reasoning but i feel it. can try 2 pull up posts
unvote
should be back for another round of posting in abit
after that I am full of meetings tomorrow so I'll barely be able to post probably, but will try to sneak in for the last couple of hours of the day if manage
rest of the week should be a bit better
newyn stuff
1) i liked his opening post, and the back and forth w chox. was very casual and easy, find that hard 2 do as bad
2) he expressed paranoia of me with a twist, that i was secretly some experienced player. i liked him thinking that way bc as bad hed know i was good and would take me at face value (fwiw i am pretty exp just not on forums)
3) he voted el barto but only bc he liked the ppl on the el barto wagon. this is probably my biggest reason he's good. he gets no credit if el barto is ever confirmed bad bc he just hopped on due to his good reads being on him. i think bads handle that diff
4) he pushed back on me when i called him good for the wagon formation accountability dodge. said he was just lazy and wld do it as either alignment. think bads wouldnt tell me not 2 read them as good for voting a partner
5) he feels consistently at ease after 2 bads die, think itd be different if he was bad with his team going kaboom

alrighty, thanks
I am not sure how much of this is super indicative (in particular I think 4 means nothing and it s actually kinda wolfy) but I do kinda dig point #2

i think the way #3 played out is v good for him, if u read back through that
i paid the most attn to ppl who didnt end on a confirmed bad in my reread (newyn, egix, choxorn, logic) bc it makes sense for a starting point
dyachei why did you ask this question?
because I didn't know who el-barto was and he mentioned earlier in the game he had played with me before
can you explain this read, dya?
I don't think barto iso was empty at all
I read the first half of it before it was 5 minutes to EOD and had to stop. Empty meaning very little content. Felt like a lot of talking about nothing
id like to hear this logic (xD)
if anything, the fact that the bads didn't vote for ladd despite him being the #3 vote getter should make him more likely bad himself at a superficial look
Quick answer:
Scum almost certainly had a village counterwagon at some point. You should be looking more closely at the D1 Ladd voters, especially when he was in serious contention.
It's not foolproof, but the odds are slim that Ladd is also scum.

I think merl1n's point is that they in fact didn't.
need a live playerlist if anyone has one.
think barto's push on monty looks fairly not w/w so I'm comfortable keeping monty in my top towns
I think zack still looks good, too, for his d1 and his read of barto. I think he's fallen off a bit today, but I like yesterday enough he can stay there, too.
I saw some of the interactions merl1n posted for ladd and agree ladd probably not a wolf, either. And the work merl1n is putting in at this stage looks pretty good

It looks like you can't save more than 7 multiquotes at a time here? uhhhh
agree merl1n is posting well today
what you think abiut cuth dya?
he's someone I consistently have a hard time reading and I usually let others do it. I'll be looking at his posts hopefully in a bit.
can you elaborate on your logic read dyachei?
I'm still reading through the thread, I've had a busy few days, but my impressions so far:
Zack's opening was strong, but that's to be expected, Zack's a strong player. I'm hesitant to prematurely say he's town, but everything points in that direction. He spews sunshine and rainbows.
Empoof seems in a similar vein to Zack, nothing gives me pause about their play so far. Though I'm not familiar with Empoof's play in general, but from my perspective it's all been good so far.
I'm okay with merl1n, Insaner, and Logic overall. I don't particularly think Insaner's "I'm townier, answer my question." was productive, but to each their own. Other than that I haven't read anything from Insaner that would make me think negatively. merl1n just seems pure and engaged, it's refreshing, nothing negative to say about any of their contributions honestly. Logic's opening was meh, but his recent postings were pretty good I thought, and that makes me think he's town.
I agree with Zack's meta read of Barto's behavior, generally I'd expect Barto to vote Insaner there. It probably doesn't mean much, but it seemed cautious to me, which is unexpected from Barto. I might be reading too much into it though.
GH's opening bothered me initially, a bit generic maybe? or just fell flat with me I'm not sure exactly how to describe it. Plus his interaction with Zack about Insaner seemed odd to me. I generally agree with what he posted this morning, so I'm a bit torn overall about how to feel.
Monty is an enigma. I'm not sure how to feel about him currently.
I don't have much else, but I'll continue reading.
tried to grab the quotes that have substance from csargo. But like this entire post is hedgy af. He gives himself an out at every turn.
My reads on people who I don't have much or any experience playing with are extremely tentative. I'm not terribly confident nor is my track record terribly good in such cases. I have trouble reading generally in mafia games, so there's that. What I'm trying to say is I'm bad :sweatdrop:
he even talks about that here
Vote: El Barto
good vote though
Don't feel like that's a great reason to remove Monty from the list, if you want to be thorough.
but again, he's afraid to clear people
Feel like Egix or Choxorn should be lynched today. Choxorn's hard to read in my experience, and I don't know anything about Egix. I read Choxorn's iso yesterday and wasn't impressed I guess you'd say and what you've posted of Egix doesn't look good.
I'm not sure what to make of ladd at this point. I want to give them some amount of credit for putting the damning vote on zelda, but looking at the vote count at the end makes that hard for me. I wouldn't vote them anytime soon though.
Felt like merl1n was good on my initial read through, and haven't really seen anything to change my mind so far other than being off the two main wagons yesterday.
Don't know anything about Newyn and nothing has stood out to me about them so far.
I'm 90% certain Logic is town. I'm pretty alright with saying you, Zack, and Insaner are town.
I feel like Cuth is playing different from what I remember about their play, so it's up in the air.
I have no read on Dya, other than zelda vote is good.
Montmorency (Pzelda,)
4 El Barto (Zack, Cuth, Csargo, Monty)
5 PZelda (Insaner, Dya, GH, Fable, ladd)

3 Ladd (Logic, Egix, merl1n)
1 Insaner (El Barto)
2 Choxorn (Empoof, Newyn)
Here are today's reads and they feel pretty...safe? like it's not saying a lot to me in either direction
I'm just not seeing what you're seeing apparently, I don't see a loss of conviction in that post.
This is the scummiest thing I've seen GH post all game tbh. I find it hard to believe GH would vote a scum partner so early in the game, from my experience with him, but I haven't played with him in a while. It's possible I guess, but I don't think it's likely imo.
But here he's starting to get spicy with GH and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I think overall maybe a slight scum lean? feels like he was trying to give himself an out on the barto read (though he did vote there later) and he's afraid to town read people
can you elaborate on your logic read dyachei?
don't think GH would lie about it as either alignment. So it's probably just real

I called him mafia and pushed for his (mis)lynch in the hydra game.
Don't mind me, this took a while to fetch so I'm just saving it here for my own perusal so it doesn't get lost :hide:
Vote: Csargo
Sup everyone.
Think there might be a phone interface through Tapatalk or something? Or check skins/styles in a dropdown list at the very bottom of the page, the default should be something like "TheGuild" or "STW" or something, idk, it's been like a decade since I've changed skins here.
Barto defense is interesting because "being busier in another game" (which I don't dispute) doesn't stop him from making a funny vote as opposed to talking about his suspicion.
Also to honor this site's heritage I'm going to exclusively use townspeak.
Calling things town/mafia/scum etc instead of "w*lf/v*llager" etc.
Barto claims being busy/distracted as a reason why he didn't just drop a vote on you for saying you were going to phonepost (him shading people for that here is NAI; long story)
If we accept this explanation at face value, then think about which takes longer: dropping a simple vote, or posting what he posted instead in response?
I don't mind Insaner so far.
oh boy here we go again
Talk to me about why? Seems like he's just kind of easing into the flow of things and trying to dig into something he's not sure about.
Checking in, haven't read since last night, won't be able to until tomorrow. Apologies.
Morning.
Skimmed a bit, haven't reread in depth (hope to do that before EOD), but here's some of my takes so far:
Barto/Monty wagons are not particularly spicy but I guess not really surprising considering this playerset. Between the two of them I think Barto has a higher chance of flipping mafia due to his start and Monty seemingly being whimsical Monty-self instead of really trying to accomplish anything in particular in this game. This is more of a "I like Monty for town" read than "I like Barto for scum" read, and while I recognize that I haven't played with either in literal years, I think the old meta still holds.
Fable can be town just because he's Very Obviously being a brat with the way he's treating the thread/game right now, I don't mean that in a particularly bad way, it's just like he doesn't feel obligated to actually try and put on a performance, and that's generally indicative of Town!Fable from my experience. I don't think this is a result of the low activity of the game, either, it's still a quality playerlist and he'd know he'd have to do stuff to fit in as mafia despite the low volume so far. Furthermore, I see that he just recently dropped a random townread on me that's kind of against the grain, and if it's for the reasons I suspect it is, then it's 100% something that Fable would do as town.
dya gets a day pass, I expect she'll be more active on D2, as will I.
I actually like Logic's three posts. Want to see more, but not worried yet.
Zack is... tentatively in my town. This has nothing to do with how he's approached my slot. It's more related to the fact of how he's dug into things that have caught his attention and hammered away at them until he's satisfied and refused to let up on things. There's less :daisy:posting than I'd expect, but I don't really think that's alignment-indicative in this environment. My main goal here is to further reinforce his townreads so that the mafia don't kill him at night for fear that he'll be protected by a doc or jailkeeper or something and be more likely to move on me instead. :book2: (but seriously, I think he's probably ok here)
Those are the takes that have stood out most to me so far, I don't really have any mafia yet beyond potentially Barto. Will make another pass later on today. If I haven't talked about someone here, it's because their posts haven't really left much impression on me. Yes, that includes you, Empoof.
I'm glad people are enjoying the emotes.
> "This is more of a 'I like Monty for town' read than a 'I like Barto for scum' read"
> GH is totally holding onto that Barto scumread amirite
I don't know what this is supposed to mean.
Confirming this.
Taking a few hours off to get my head straight and then I'll dive in here.
Logic's town, consider this locked in.
Chox... might be mafia, but I'm not confident enough to go there today I don't think, and I think I can get him locked in one way or the other on D2. Would prefer not going there today.
ladd seems fine, think he's a miss.
I guess Insaner can be town and it's largely for his weird gif at me earlier today moreso than anything else he's done/general temperament.
Not as sold on Merl1n town as everyone else, and it's largely for this post:
It just seems a little overdone, even for the "I'm new and this is my first game" act he's putting on. I don't doubt that this is his first game but I feel like he's putting it on a little too much.
Empoof is gut mafia for me. Can't really explain it now. Kill me tonight if you don't want me to flesh this out please.
Guess I'm voting with my two large posts as a guideline. Anyone I haven't talked about I'm probably ambivalent about.
If I'm to put this in a readslist I think it goes something like:
Logic
Fable
Zack
Insaner
Monty
ladd
--- town line ---
Csargo
dya
Newyn
Pzelda
Cuth
Egix
Empoof
Choxorn
--- null/idk line ---
merl1n
El Barto
Not actually sure how much I like El Barto at the bottom but I don't really have the energy to try to find a different non-Monty lynch right now in my null territory.
Vote: El Barto
Ok.
Vote: PZelda
Honestly, I'd probably describe it as Not Your Town Game and then go into the process of describing your town game.
Straight up, I'm a bit annoyed that Insaner was like "I HAVE A PERFECT READ ON PZELDA AND HE IS ALWAYS MAFIA HERE" and then immediately walked it back to "well I've read him right 2 out of 3 games" but whatever, riding with this for now.
Ah no, Voxx and I were DMing about something at the time and he asked me to do one. I forgot I even made it until this very moment.
Consider the alliance sealed.
EST+1 I believe, maybe 2.
Last I was aware he was in South America.
I've read the pzelda iso for myself and am officially signing off on that wagon beyond "I'll sheep Insaner on it". My main problem can be best summarized by this post:
There is no attempt at following up on this. There is no hint of an attempt at following up on this. There's clarifications, a good bit about talking about MU people and meta and anything besides actual reads and takes on people, but there's very little actual solving spirit, and in my experience people making statements similar to the bolded and going absolutely nowhere with them is a pretty reliable scumtell.
ISOing is similar to POG, dya.
Gotta go back to the Gameroom index, click on the number of posts, and click on the person's postcount in the window that pops up. One of the sticky threads (the offsite guide) provides pictoral help.
Pretty much same.
Would feel kinda bad about Choxorn going down but that's mostly because I think I can get him with another day. Would certainly prefer him to ladd if it comes to it.
Got any mafia? Top town? Why?
Re: Choxorn
There's a concept about him on this set of communities (org, cfc, etc) called the Choxorn Line where anybody below his post count is officially labeled a slanker and anyone above him is ok.
Which is a roundabout way of saying yeah he's kind of a lowposter regardless of alignment, which is part of why I'm somewhat gun-shy on going for him today. His actual post content is mildly concerning, but the volume is not. Not yet, anyway.
Hm. Usually tally manipulation, if caught, is like instalynch material.
Think it's more likely that he just didn't see Monty's vote when he was making that?
Did you see later on where I ISO'd pzelda and started scumreading him on my own?
:stupido:
Vote: Choxorn
Here, Insaner.
Click through to read the quote within.
NAI, I think.
Give him a day, I think.
Though if it ends up being you/him then I'm going for him.
Already planning the nightkill, eh.
I'm hopping off in a couple minutes back on pzelda, FYI.
I'm gonna laugh so hard when it's Choxorn and he flips something like "Mafia N1 ONLY vig".
Vote: pzelda
pzelda > choxorn >>>>>>> el barto >> ladd
in order of preference
Looks like the cavalry arrived just in time, team. :charge:
Feeling decent. Glad to be back here.
GL, here's hoping.
I called him mafia and pushed for his (mis)lynch in the hydra game.
Honestly, that didn't really register to me and I just reread your iso the other day lol. I was more focused on your interactions with flipped wolves
move logic to null pile then
Yes. Are you?
Wait, who exactly are all the wolfy people going after Barto? Zack is the strongest pusher of him and you have Zack as one of your townreads.
kind of like this question from chox but I guess it could be as either alignment
Had a chance to go look back through the thread again, and yeah, it's mainly been Zack and Empoof pushing Barto, as well as ladd, (so, 2 of Insaner's townreads and 1 scumread), with a few others occasionally mentioning him (and Monty's voting for him now, of course). Not really sure why Insaner thinks Barto is spewed town by "all these wolfy people" going after him. Ladd going after Barto certainly doesn't mean he can't be scum, or that those two couldn't be scumbuddies.
he follows up with it here. I'd like to hear more from chox regarding if he still thinks ladd can be scum with barto
I don't think I can really defend how crappy I was yesterday- I'm busy IRL a lot and don't always pay enough attention and that turns into me being way too inactive.
Current thoughts: Zack is lock town, merl1n, Insaner, ladd, GH, and Fable are all likely town, lots of the thread looks somewhere between town and scum to me. Looks like lots of folks wanna lynch either me or Egix today based on how we acted yesterday, and I also thought he was suspicious yesterday- but I also tracked him doing nothing last night, which is far from clearing but is certainly a point in his favor.
Really need to read things a bit more to get a stronger idea of who's scummy, I'll get to that later but for now I need to go eat dinner.
and here we have his claim. And his town read on ladd now.
I really want more from this slot. I think the claim could come from either alignment and the change in ladd stuff is weird. But like...I can't sort it
A couple logic posts:
I'm back. I've not read much, though I did go back to see why Empoof called me towny. It's ok reasoning, I guess. It's also brave enough to be against the grain that I'll call him lean town.
I'll read more into Cuth. I was willing to call him a villager, but P#170 makes me think otherwise.
kind of like that he at least looks willing to delve more into reading cuth
Quarter-assed sort by postcount reads
I feel like I should have a better read on Zack besides null considering he's got 60 some-odd posts. I'll be watching this one some more.
I've currently got Insaner as my top town. He's playing like he's bulletproof; questioning people left and right.
I'm sticking with my Empoof is town read until forced to reevaluate. Nothing yet tells me to rethink that.
Ladd feels like his pushes are entirely too easy, and his defenses of things feel the wrong kind of dismissive.
Vote: Ladd
See my comments regarding Zack for the same feelings towards GH.
I didn't really get the suspicion of Monty, so I ISO'ed him. Upon reading it myself, I could see that as a wolf. I'd rather give him time, but he get's a slight scumlean today.
I think this post kind of reminds me of how I felt d1 with the exception of Zack and ladd.
ladd
You're going nowhere with your scum-reads, as if you are afraid to commit. However:
You've got some subtle shade on Pzelda that looks like you are reluctant to vote there.
You hedge on calling a post of mine good content wise, but wolfy in tone.
You are reluctant to to do anything with a probable Barto scum-read, instead deferring to others for meta.
You give a out of nowhere ">rand Fable/Barto W/W" and don't follow up.
I feel like you are taking pot shots to see what sticks rahter than actually solving.
Also kind of like this post. feels like it would be way too blatant to do as a wolf. But I also like the points he was talking about and the way he was looking into ladd

Just to be safe ;)
h/t
id like to hear this logic (xD)
if anything, the fact that the bads didn't vote for ladd despite him being the #3 vote getter should make him more likely bad himself at a superficial look
Barto did, unless you believe he calculated it at the last minute as anti-spew. Doesn't seem like Bart but idk. But there were those other reasons I and GH mentioned.
I'm always town here for two reasons: First of all, while I wasn't on Barto quite as early as Zack, I too quickly pointed out a discrepancy in one of his earliest comments and would have explored it further were the f3 in my other game (now concluded) not about to start. Secondly, I consistently voted for and pushed the two mafiosi pretty much all day yesterday, always ranking Barto ahead of Monty in my personal "lynch preference" list, jumping to PZelda, independently isoing PZelda and providing further ammunition to the fire, and ultimately ending up on him. I briefly switched to Chox, yes, but that was mostly out of deference to Empoof trying for some wagonomics and I was always intending to end back up on PZelda, as I think I made pretty clear over the course of EOD1. I will tolerate this tinfoiling of me for exactly the remainder of this dayphase, but once Egix flips mafia then it needs to stop.
One point I dislike is leaning on ISOs of scum. When I had to bus you and Zack in Chess, I went to feverish lengths to ISO you (but in an authentic way). Also, the "once Egix flips" line stirs some unspecified deja vu in me; I'm tilted.
What would you do in a F3 between you, me, and Choxorn?
thats dumb. ppl can be wrong and still be good.
:bounce:
There's other wagonomics-related reasons too, but I'm annoyed at this point and just wanted to get my thoughts down. Will get more into detail about it when I get back but I really don't deserve the treatment that I'm getting from exactly you right now considering how my D1 and would greatly appreciate it if you recognized my contributions and started looking elsewhere.
You said you had comments about Choxorn and night kills at the beginning of the day.

Hmm, that's actually kind of a pinging post. I feel like Logic calling out a player for easy pushes and dismissive defenses is SLIGHT scum equity. Concerning that he only really talked about his top town reads plus this one scum push, that he has recanted today (for good reason).
What I would be looking for is who he targets for potential scumreads once he can buckle down, and how. Comment, Hankerchief?
Can you stop bringing up chess revisionist history
Kthxbye
I would like to preface this by saying that this post is NOT intended to be a scum case on GH. What I aim to do with this post is call the narrative of "GH pushed two wolves on D1" into question. In fact, based on a reread of his D1 iso I can't say that he pushed anybody on D1. Zack pushed for El Barto to be lynched. I pushed for pzelda to be lynched. Everybody else on those wagons was a follower.
El Barto quotes:
Sup everyone.
Think there might be a phone interface through Tapatalk or something? Or check skins/styles in a dropdown list at the very bottom of the page, the default should be something like "TheGuild" or "STW" or something, idk, it's been like a decade since I've changed skins here.

Those are the takes that have stood out most to me so far, I don't really have any mafia yet beyond potentially Barto. Will make another pass later on today. If I haven't talked about someone here, it's because their posts haven't really left much impression on me. Yes, that includes you, Empoof.
I'm glad people are enjoying the emotes.

Logic's town, consider this locked in.
Chox... might be mafia, but I'm not confident enough to go there today I don't think, and I think I can get him locked in one way or the other on D2. Would prefer not going there today.
ladd seems fine, think he's a miss.
I guess Insaner can be town and it's largely for his weird gif at me earlier today moreso than anything else he's done/general temperament.
Not as sold on Merl1n town as everyone else, and it's largely for this post:
It just seems a little overdone, even for the "I'm new and this is my first game" act he's putting on. I don't doubt that this is his first game but I feel like he's putting it on a little too much.
Empoof is gut mafia for me. Can't really explain it now. Kill me tonight if you don't want me to flesh this out please.
Guess I'm voting with my two large posts as a guideline. Anyone I haven't talked about I'm probably ambivalent about.
If I'm to put this in a readslist I think it goes something like:
Logic
Fable
Zack
Insaner
Monty
ladd
--- town line ---
Csargo
dya
Newyn
Pzelda
Cuth
Egix
Empoof
Choxorn
--- null/idk line ---
merl1n
El Barto
Not actually sure how much I like El Barto at the bottom but I don't really have the energy to try to find a different non-Monty lynch right now in my null territory.
Vote: El Barto
Got any mafia? Top town? Why?
Hm. Usually tally manipulation, if caught, is like instalynch material.
Think it's more likely that he just didn't see Monty's vote when he was making that?
His early callout on Barto was A Thing™. But later he walked it back to "it's not that Barto is a wolf but rather that Monty is a villager" and even denied holding a wolf read on Barto to my face. Doesn't mention him in his next post where he puts wolf leans on 3 other people (Choxorn, merl1n, Empoof). Has Barto as the lowest placed person on his next readlist and votes him in the next post but still doesn't provide a compelling reason for the scum read.

The only interaction he had with Barto at EoD was that question. After which he made this sneaky attempt to OPPORTUNISTICALLY™ turn the lynch on me, his supposed town read, whom he was sheeping on pzelda, his supposed wolf read.
pzelda quotes:
Morning.
Skimmed a bit, haven't reread in depth (hope to do that before EOD), but here's some of my takes so far:
Barto/Monty wagons are not particularly spicy but I guess not really surprising considering this playerset. Between the two of them I think Barto has a higher chance of flipping mafia due to his start and Monty seemingly being whimsical Monty-self instead of really trying to accomplish anything in particular in this game. This is more of a "I like Monty for town" read than "I like Barto for scum" read, and while I recognize that I haven't played with either in literal years, I think the old meta still holds.
Fable can be town just because he's Very Obviously being a brat with the way he's treating the thread/game right now, I don't mean that in a particularly bad way, it's just like he doesn't feel obligated to actually try and put on a performance, and that's generally indicative of Town!Fable from my experience. I don't think this is a result of the low activity of the game, either, it's still a quality playerlist and he'd know he'd have to do stuff to fit in as mafia despite the low volume so far. Furthermore, I see that he just recently dropped a random townread on me that's kind of against the grain, and if it's for the reasons I suspect it is, then it's 100% something that Fable would do as town.
dya gets a day pass, I expect she'll be more active on D2, as will I.
I actually like Logic's three posts. Want to see more, but not worried yet.
Zack is... tentatively in my town. This has nothing to do with how he's approached my slot. It's more related to the fact of how he's dug into things that have caught his attention and hammered away at them until he's satisfied and refused to let up on things. There's less :daisy:posting than I'd expect, but I don't really think that's alignment-indicative in this environment.

El Barto
Ok.
Vote: PZelda
Straight up, I'm a bit annoyed that Insaner was like "I HAVE A PERFECT READ ON PZELDA AND HE IS ALWAYS MAFIA HERE" and then immediately walked it back to "well I've read him right 2 out of 3 games" but whatever, riding with this for now.
I've read the pzelda iso for myself and am officially signing off on that wagon beyond "I'll sheep Insaner on it". My main problem can be best summarized by this post:
There is no attempt at following up on this. There is no hint of an attempt at following up on this. There's clarifications, a good bit about talking about MU people and meta and anything besides actual reads and takes on people, but there's very little actual solving spirit, and in my experience people making statements similar to the bolded and going absolutely nowhere with them is a pretty reliable scumtell.
I'm hopping off in a couple minutes back on pzelda, FYI.
Vote: pzelda
pzelda > choxorn >>>>>>> el barto >> ladd
in order of preference
Feeling decent. Glad to be back here.
GL, here's hoping.
He straight up doesn't mention pzelda at all in his first two read posts and then puts him into a null pile in the third one. Immediately votes him after I claim to have a god read on Capage, but wasn't pleased with the situation when I later walked it back later. Ended up voting pzelda there at the end.
In summary: GH only ever spoke negatively about each of the flipped wolves, but to say that he pushed for any of them to be lynched is a stretch. There are posts where he is seen wolf reading them and being willing to vote there, but I haven't found any attempts to actually reinforce either of those wagons.

@ Monty
Ping acknowledged but I don't think my nightkill musings is as important/sharable now.

Fable are you going to do anything this game? I mean other than post gifs
