After thinking about it I think the combo of her frustration towards me for "having an entirely different conversation", kinda just sponging GH, changing her opinion me for how I've handled her, responding to Ara's "who are you wrong about" question with Ara, and showing a general skepticism towards Colonel when I mentioned them as a town read all kinda fit in with the narrative of a town player just kinda commenting on things that come to mind as they are in the thread.
mmm
sorry but all of this is kinda like
really weak stuff that's comfortably fakeable for dya as a wolf I think?
Sunbae, any thoughts on my Eph case?
I domt really want to
Out of laziness more than anything
But I'll give the cliff notes. Sadly, I don't have time to actually make it sound balling like I'd like
Esooa is in the game and posting. They have like the third or fourth most posts? They're claiming to have read and reread the game.
They post reads. The details are sparse but clustered. Village reads are easy. You've read the game, they look nice.
Their push on me.
Only 1 wolf read, and it's an easy consensus one to make.
The only one, but the sources cited are all very early into the thread. All posts cited are before post 200. In my experience, this (claim to read everything, out reads, find a rational in the beginning then make vague gestures for the rest)
Typically comes from wolves.
I do it. Others do it. It's a sign sign the shit you're saying is bullshit. It's not uncommon, and their read on me feels precisely like that. Their reads are nonoffensive and basic.
Ultimately, the read pings me. If it were d2 in a mash I'd do my song and dance of:
"Double down your read on me or rescind it or I'll [negative action/ITA/etc.] On you"; in mountainous desperado, I'd say "either shoot me or I'll shoot you", like with Para.
That's my general feeling at the moment.
don't really like this at all. Most strongly because of the way Manti uses my post count and having "read and reread" the game was justification for this while not caring about the context of that. Such as my reread being specifically done because I didn't have any wolf reads that felt comfortable.

It's totally possible. I'm not very confident on it but that's my gut read atm. I could just be getting pushed off by the whole oog stuff affecting my read.

i may be hardly present but I know why I voted for people i've voted for

Aye that's perfectly understandable, it's somewhat sitting on my mind too
but it also had me turn a blind eye to a pretty obv wolf in team game while I was in
so I'm also kind of like, trying to make sure it doesn't happen again lol
i can't wait until tomorrow when ppl say my EOD was subpar and i just hopped onto a wagon when nobody is TALKING TO MEEEEEEEEEEE
First mafia game in a while and those mtgs phases are lookin mighty fine.
Welcome to my life.

sunbae would better explain it
but basically dya is super lacking in energy/solving
real big 'dont want to be here' energy
hasnt done any of their solving type posts they normally do as villa
Tx!
But I was asking about your read on Amy (Ampharos?) lol

yeah totally understandable. I have a habit of quickly picking up on someone being scum and then convincing myself otherwise (see my pushing of GH d1 in rock and started d2 calling Manti's hider post the wolfiest post in the thread and then 180ing) so it wouldn't shock me if I was right about dya initially and then let the other stuff convince me otherwise.

I mean, it's clear why I'm voting esooa, no?
I voted her (not sure on your pronouns, sorry) because she's claiming to have forgotten why she voted someone
I voted you because I think you should be able to see how different gh compared to rocks and team game

I liked Dolbster's post about Montmo. Mostly because I nodded several times while reading and because it doesn't strike me as a pocket. So I am going to villa read both of them for the next 3 hours.

mmkay, is that all?
What about esooa's/my posts as a whole?
And how is GH simply behaving somewhat differently from his other two games enough to be clearing?

because his tone is way different. and yes, it's enough to be clearing because I think if gh rolled wolf here, he'd be dejected.
I've admitted I haven't been able to follow this game as well, so I'm going with what I see when i see it

and when I do start to get into it I just get more why aren't you playing the way I want you to play?
because I'm busy
GeneralHankerchief
you're gonna have to really walk me through this one because ephem seems perfectly fine to me?
seems like a more together version of his game in the second half of the invitational
maybe he's confident because he randed wolf, who knows, but he seems fine to me?
I am getting different vibes from GH dropping Csargo into the POE than GH doing the same to beeboy in the team game, which is pretty notable given that these are pretty similar contexts. Points to a few things about his tone in a way that's somewhat different than the beeboy analysis where he was pretty clearly angling away from a beeboy yeet in that game imo. I don't really have a take on Csargo since I got burned I think it was the last time I played a game with him where I didn't sub out.
Probably gonna continue to drop in and out of thread

I'm more wondering if you feel like individual people are solidifying worlds at a faster rate than you'd expect. My impression has been a lot of the people who tend to jump to conclusions have been doing so, but it's not a thread-wide thing nor do I feel like people who don't tend to lock in on specific PoEs early are doing so at a higher rate or vice versa.
I'm not sure if it's at a faster rate than I'd expect? Maybe it is; guess I'm moreso surprised at people feeling that high level of confidence in reads to get there like that, in this sort of gamestate!!
Might do a quantum readlist before EoD, if I feel like it; certainly internally at some point!!!!

You're not thinking about this like a Roman. Imagine you're Imperator Scipio facing down the horde's of the encroaching Hannibal. You don't beat mountaineering elephants with brute force, you use tactics. You need to divide and conquer. Like at the battle of Limpus Gladiores, they drew in the Elephant Calvary to the center of the field while the Roman phalanx pincered them on either side striking their knees with arrows and other sharp bits. It is through tactics like these the Romans one. And how does this apply to Ephemeral you ask? simple, you see in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table

I'm monitoring it.
It's possible that I'm giving him too much of a expectation w/r/t the macro (overall solving level, (which I still feel is low) etc) when that might not be his style, idk. I also haven't been a fan of the way he's engaged specifically me in terms of my push, and it's giving me flashbacks to my own behavior in teamgame (though obviously not to the same extent). Specifically, it feels like that he's focusing the parts where I've tripped myself up a bit (the misapplied meta, the Maple thing) rather than the core point of my push, which could easily be an error of emphasis on my part but I don't think so. More damningly, I think he's doing this focus intentionally.
I'm kinda getting cold feet about all of the main wagons for the most part, but I also don't want to throw caution to the wind because my towns have been, well, townie. That plus the fact that I have no desire whatsoever to participate in a 2+ hour EOD here means I'm probably just gonna lurk for a while and see how I feel.

I've read it and have no relevant thoughts, sorry. I think it's something I'm fine with being pursued more if you feel like it should be but I can't say I'm on board either. I thought the first section of your concerns about not towntelling in the first two hours while others did wasn't really something I think too much about. Like by that logic you should be sketchy of me too or something. The second part is something I'm unsure on as well because I personally don't feel you're an "easy" or "lazy" target to push out of the gate as scum (and in your example its eph W, gh V).
With all that said though I'm trying to keep a more ... hands off ... approach this game and just letting others do their thing after I kinda hijacked the game for two game days last time to push my own read through. So even though I don't really see it myself at the moment I'm not going to fight some pressure there and trust you enough to do your own thing.
Hypothetically speaking, if you were to hijack the game and push your most confident read through, what would you be pushing and/or defending?

Let me put it this way Eph, you are currently focusing on me and voting me for what I mostly perceive to be my push on you. You have singled out individual aspects of the push (which I freely admit to be weaker) without commenting on the core point or two until a few minutes ago, when I directly called you out for doing this. This is pretty much the extent of our interactions, especially in the later part, and you have reduced my positional status in the game to what I consider to be minutiae like tonal differences, even kind of blowing that off:
I'll give that his tone is a little better than rocks/team game
but if that's all it takes to give a green light when his pushes are still terrible
I start to wonder whether we're talking about GH or a toddler who just picked up ww
I have talked about you certainly, but I am by no means exclusively focused on you, and I think I've made pretty solid and thoughtful points on a number of contentious slots in the game, such as Amy/Rask, Csargo, Monty, Dolby to a lesser extent, etc. I haven't seen a hint of you taking those points into account of your read on me. Does the scope of my solving efforts not override my individual push on you? There wasn't really any major "pushes" in there, but it's still useful to get the game on lockdown. Does my interactions with others not factor in either? I don't think it's all down to tone. That sort of thing.
Bottom line, I don't think you're actively trying to solve here - me, or others. Your responses to me could easily be little more than townie frustration about what you think is a bad push (and it might very well be!) but I think you're intentionally missing the bigger picture, instead focusing on little things you can score points off of, and that trait is pretty damn near a universal scum tell imo.

Heya!
Because they were top wagons and would like to avoid yeeting a townie? tbh I started with my slot and then glanced at Visor's. I am doing it now (together with reading the thread and other uninspiring stuff).
fwiw I didn't like Dya's most recent posting. well voting Esooa could be a thing a townie with few time/motivation could do but it's still very cheap (I actually villa read that post where Esooa claimed to have forgotten why she voted Idon'trememberwho in the first place; much easier for scum to just check it and not make this post). And then the following post isn't a charitable (fair?) description of how things have been moving around her. And it's blatant ATE.
Maybe it's just frustration yes. But I am keeping my vote rn till I am done with these ISOs.

True I did call out specific bits that stood out on the spot about your push
and none of them by themselves would matter much normally, but there are multiple
And when I initially pressed you on them you just deflected off it instead of owning it and adjusting the read accordingly, which only came after you got called out by others in addition to being called out by me
See when you put all the little bits together it feels like you're just trying to portray your push as clean when it really isn't
Including your most recent admission that the focal point was related to (neboulous, mind you)expectations of how you think I would approach the game on a macro level
That to me wasn't particularly clear before because you specifically kept things vague and picked off things like the manti push/meta stuff to focalize
And the rest of it kept being incredibly nebulous on stuff like "well look ara and hally ok sound nice" and then "eph was there too but no"
I think you're cherry picking whatever feels convenient to your story on the spot and keep it vague/open-ended on purpose(this being particularly true early on)
And then when you get called out on the issues/inconsistencies you try to plug the leak and ever so slightly change your story so it fits again

Fair enough, and this could easily be my fault for simply being poor at vocalizing my concerns/figuring out how they fit into the larger parts of the whole. But my concerns are still there and this post doesn't exactly mollify them (nor was it supposed to), so. Guess we'll see how things shake out, eh?

Hmm, okay!!!
Anything exciting that you're getting from your slot/Visor's? Also, why did you start with Visor first?
What in the vote do you think is mafia-indicative of Dya there, though? Also, regarding the point you made about it being easier for scum to just check it out and not make it; why wouldn't mafia just not check it out, in the same position?

Currently, my head's at... I don't think uneasy is quite the correct term to describe where I'm at for this EoD?
More that I don't feel confident about this EoD, and do not think I ever have felt confident about it in this dayphase!!! The wagons feel very shrug, and are not particularly hype in that I'm not overly expecting mafia to be eliminated!!
I'm still shrug on Csargo for instance, and I don't really like voting/eliminating on this level of confidence, just feeling like lots of okay options and not feeling like that many good options!!!!
The not-town reads aren't necessarily mafia reads, maybe they're just not-town!!

I think that TWTBAW is whack to attach to Monty this early into the game, but a lot of other people were straight up scumreading him mainly from his entrance so imo it's kinda w/e. Felt he's been standard fare and just generally fine thus far, and really haven't seen anything compelling to scumread him for from anyone imo.

As a general matter, would experienced players agree that early TR consensuses (as opposed to SR) are more likely to be correct than misplaced?
And I've forgotten how wagonomics works. Someone please tell me what this spread could mean, and how to interpret the particulars of the sudden but inevitable EOD frenzy?
Regarding the game I was referring to earlier, yeah that was an interesting game... or a disappointing/boring game, depending on your perspective!! Weird stuff where after day 1 eliminated mafia, the rest ended up following suit in unchallenged wagons in the next few days, bit of a bizarre game!
Heh heh heh. Hehehehe. Uh. Sounds familiar.

reading csargo’s posts keeps giving me the feeling of a wolf that doesn’t really know what to post/how to fake reads. his explanations have felt so vague and nondescript that i feel like he’s kinda just saying stuff to say it
any of the org folk have a take on this? are these kinds of posts normal for him?
I should have a take, but I don't. If I know myself, then I like to give Csargo affirmative slack.
can you cite some specific things you disagreed with capage about?
Do I have to? Leaving aside any issues I have with his posture toward my slot, the first thing I noticed was him starting "meh" on Dolbster, then moving to a scumread, while forgetting to have a process. Felt like a filler read. Setting up two limbaits and a typically-strong townie rival (or at best distancing from a teammate).
As to aggressiveness, part of the equation is expressing high confidence and initiative in his POE.
I think my feelings of CsargoScum have strengthened after Mont's wall agreeing with me. Having someone that's had experience playing with Csargo nodding along helps me with my hesitancy on the topic. So I think with all three of these together I'm going to stick on Csargo for a bit longer.
To reiterate, I've forgotten my metas and I shouldn't be interpreted as presenting a meta case against Csargo. The one post I outright shaded Csargo for was a generic ping. I would prefer Amp ouster to Csargo's because of the caliber of arguments against the former - meaning more opportunity for building a towncore off Amp flipping mafia.
If applicable the overnight should be spent rebuilding meta by rereading D1 of the CFC Star Trek game in which Csargo was instantly caught and ousted.
Also re: Dolbster, he worked very hard to be the last scum standing in that game, standing out of POEs almost to the end. I don't think I need to metahunt to discard slank or dropoff (esp. D1) as a scumtell for him.
But... I see that Rask has subbed for Amp, and appears to be getting a reprieve, while Csargo wagon is leading and is basically made up of people I put more stock in among this list, as of now. Hmmm. I haven't caught up on the latest 200 posts, including Csargo's responses, so this will be tough.
If you follow [Csargo's] posts, they're very much influenced by what had been overall atmosphere in the thread before the post. I think that as wolf he would be more out of touch
I don't have a clear basis for doing so, but hard disagree. You're not getting above water at this rate.
Defense of Csargo noted though.
I think that his posts being more disruptive than anything else is enough to have him as a sr. There are two more concrete reasons. His votes are going completely against the consensus. They have no chance of succeeding and, in case of Hally, he had no good reason. In case of his vote on me, his reasoning was vaguer than I would like it to be.
Actually smiling out loud at the thought of these being presented as legitimate reasons to suss me.
I feel like questioning GH now could lead to me becoming chaotic. It's not out of realm of possibilities that he's a wolf, but I partially sheeped his scumreads. I don't think Eph is in risk of getting eliminated today. GH being a wolf would spew Cuth, Eph and Visor town. Maybe even Amy and Dolby (but Dolby not responding to GH's case and GH jumping back to Amy makes this questionable). I don't want to go there now. Losing town GH would be a greater disaster than letting wolf GH live longer.
I probably won't be very active between now and eod, but I want to reread the thread overnight and focus on Dolby, Monty and GH, while reading it.
I like that you're focusing on Dolb-GH at least.
Hey Zelda
Would you say that Monty's performance as maf in Princes was typical for him or is he more able to post well as maf than that?
lol
I kinda tunneled him D1 but I feel that he was pretty obvious throughout that whole game personally
I was openly trying to ally with Pizza from D1 I'm surprised people didn't tunnel me for that (Pizza himself was giving me mulligans/subverting my slot for long-term benefit I feel). At some point at least Choxorn (D3 or 4) was tentatively nudging the thread on my open scumming, but no one really took that as the open and shut evidence it should have been IIRC. Part of the WotP experience is non-translatable in that I wasn't playing with the expectation that I could win once it became obvious that Pizza was unstoppable, meaning from late D1.
For starters, this is light, but I think this soft-unaligns Monty and Dolby. I don't think I see the two of them taking this exact same approach with somebody in the consensus town. I don't have much of a history/baseline on Dolby, but Monty likes to bus as scum - or at least, he did back in the day. He likes to distance himself from his partners and take a different "lane", so to speak, and has done this to success in the past. He has also done this unilaterally and without coordination/approval from his teammates. So him taking the exact same approach as Dolby w/r/t top pushes is something that I do not think is in Monty's wheelhouse. I don't think this is on the level of "clearing for the rest of the game", but if Dolby does end up flipping red, I'm probably not reexamining Monty until, say, LYLO-1.
To be fair, I did it first. To the extent that non-coordination is ascribed to me, it wouldn't be applicable if it is Dolbster who is coordinating with me rather than the other way around.

Hmm, okay!!!
Anything exciting that you're getting from your slot/Visor's? Also, why did you start with Visor first?
What in the vote do you think is mafia-indicative of Dya there, though? Also, regarding the point you made about it being easier for scum to just check it out and not make it; why wouldn't mafia just not check it out, in the same position?
...It's throwing me off a little that I can't just pull up the votecount as frequently as I normally do!! :p
I started by Visor because I wanted to read his case on Dya, after we talked about it itt. And also because he implied I would have to fight back on D2, I wanted to check out if I could see what pinged him.
mafia-indicative of Dya: dunno really. About Dya I mean. But it's not uncommon for scums to pick a weird thing and pack it to make it look an acceptable case. The least I can say is that I am not sold on it, but we reacted very differently at Esooa's post and I am wondering if it's AI.
why wouldn't mafia just not check it out, in the same position? I am puzzled if this is a real question tbh (first time we play together so I'll give in :p). Why would mafia do it? To look townie? Above all the unnecesary attention and questions it will raise? I mean scums will want to push stuff and fake others but that tiny bit of derping won't save them if the whole picture is bad. Maybe some will have fun doing it, but I think most won't do it.

I think that TWTBAW is whack to attach to Monty this early into the game, but a lot of other people were straight up scumreading him mainly from his entrance so imo it's kinda w/e. Felt he's been standard fare and just generally fine thus far, and really haven't seen anything compelling to scumread him for from anyone imo. I can get thinking the posts vibed poorly at least, but it's standard fare Monty
Hmm, okay; for what it's worth I only really held the TWTBAW-type read for his very early-game entrance posts around SoD, but actually did like his later re-entry into the thread, thought it was decent!!!
Excellent.

Dyachei: GH has it right that the dyachei push is the amy push but less of everything
I did look over dya and I'm not sure why people want to yeet there. Is there something I'm missing here? I feel like dya's approach to the game is more townie than not imo. I feel like there's a lot of points where they could have easily acquiesced to requests, but just sort of did their own thing. Is that just something they'd do as either alignment? I don't feel like it's that bad honestly. I guess a lot of people have dya in their PoE, but I don't know if they're serious reads or just putting dya in a box for activity/effort/etc reasons.
My instinct with this kind of post, where are top wagon mildly defends another top wagon, is that if Csargo is scum dyachei has a high probability of being anti-spewed (i.e. not paired).
Interestingly, Rask/Amp is doing the same near above this post. Grapes are fermenting.

So, did you derive anything interesting from that venture into Visor/dya? Also, what's your current read on them anyway? If you're saving this for ISOs feel free to ignore, though there's only 24 minutes left!!!
I mean, let's say that mafia actually forgot the fake reasoning that they did... do you think it is entirely impossible that they wouldn't just tell the truth and say that they forgot? It's not that difficult to do and I'm not really sure why you're ruling out that they could have just forgotten, with it not necessarily being something that was intentionally done on the part of mafia, just can be something that happens!
People forget things all the time regardless of alignment, is my point!!

don't really like this at all. Most strongly because of the way Manti uses my post count and having "read and reread" the game was justification for this while not caring about the context of that. Such as my reread being specifically done because I didn't have any wolf reads that felt comfortable.
How are those things related to my feelings on the matter? My feelings amount, largely, to feeling that you just BSd a w read on my slot with little good justification pulling only from the earliest portion of my ISO for reasons that, ultimately, are paper thin.

You're not thinking about this like a Roman. Imagine you're Imperator Scipio facing down the horde's of the encroaching Hannibal. You don't beat mountaineering elephants with brute force, you use tactics. You need to divide and conquer. Like at the battle of Limpus Gladiores, they drew in the Elephant Calvary to the center of the field while the Roman phalanx pincered them on either side striking their knees with arrows and other sharp bits. It is through tactics like these the Romans one. And how does this apply to Ephemeral you ask? simple, you see in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table

I got burned hard by Csargo in Zelda's game with items and more than 17 players that was themed on some board game (tbh I kinda purged it from memory), but the two prior games that he scummed that I witnessed (one game I was town, the other maf) I felt that he was pretty obvious. Didn't really engage with people and just gave takes seemingly for the purpose of giving takes unless he was specifically asked about something. Haven't played with him or really noticed him in a game in a while, and I respect the differences brought up by GH and others but this feels overall more like town him than scum him in my experience

Anyways, continuing my previous train of thought:
While yes a lot of the time mafia reads are created from the absence of townreads, today's pushes feel a lot more like people who don't have townreads yet but may turn into townreads, given the time to make more posts and hype!!!! Dya/Raskolnikov are very high examples of this read... essentially, it's the underwhelming thing that gives the shrug EoD-feeling!!
Lowkey want to do something spicy!!!
Also, unrelated: I really liked that post that Capage had regarding... I think it was the Montmorency read? Might be useful to go back in my ISO in future days, potentially!!

I know, it's not a you thing (probably) so much as a me thing.
There was basically one interaction that Amy made with Visor early on (specifically, she dropped a way-too-early townread on him and Visor didn't really have a natural conclusion to the thought process in his response) that I thought looked suspicious from both sides but Visor later mollified me (and others) on it. Visor later made a full case, it seemed good, Sunbae chimed in with a point... around 12 hours ago? and yeah. That, plus general POE.

I'm gonna ignore lacking people bc I'm making a decision on them soon but maybe Maple or Manasi? This isn't because I don't like them but more because I haven't seen anything I've liked from them that I remember
Maple I somewhat liked some earlier stuff to maybe give another day... but I probably wouldn't go overly out of my way to defend because this is a 48/24, Manti!!!
Manasi sort of shrug? I only remember she came in a bit earlier, didn't give that large of an impression/could go either way!!

Visor: I think I am being pushed by maybe a couple of maf.
Don't think I have a read on Csargo rn. Maybe a slight TL from tone (feels very much like the Synlab game on MU).
Dya is weird and if I underestand things right, very off meta.
Esooa dunno, didn't get around to read more from her.

Garrus Vakarian is a turian, formerly part of C-Sec's Investigation Division. Like most turians, Garrus had his military training at fifteen, but later followed in his father's footsteps to become a C-Sec officer. He was responsible for the investigation of Saren Arterius, the Council's top Spectre, after the Alliance claimed Saren had gone rogue. Although Garrus was told that the investigation was over, he decided to defy the Executor's order and pursue another lead on his own. Eventually, Garrus attempts to join Commander Shepard's team to help defeat Saren and the geth.

Unaccountable mindmelds with GH in late day, but I don't get why he didn't acknowledge that I had voted Csargo for him.
On one hand, if dyachei (or Rask to some extent) is scum, Colonel and Maple need to die, but given the lack of self-pres from either Csargo or dyachei, and the way Rask and Csargo behaved toward dyachei's slot, there's a distinct possibility of all-town wagons.
But don't heal Rask, if applicable.
Rask-town and dyach-scum would be ideal in clearing 5 players till LYLO and guaranteeing a couple scum on Csargo wagon. Table for now.
If all town wagons, Dolbster's attitude toward EOD looks a little PIS.
On night-kill speculation, Sunbae feels more like SPK than a counter-suss kill (if there's a term for it).

The only real game-related thought I had overnight (aside from regret that I was one of the major tipping points to put Csar over the top) was that I think bop (AKA Colonel) is a slot of interest. I don't think it's a slot that should be, needs to be, or is going to be resolved today, but I do remember him being instrumental in advocating for the d1 chop being in exactly Csargo/Rask/dya. I'm hesitant about even putting this read out there since I think he was still kinda townie on his own merits and it's a reasonable enough take to have in a vacuum regardless of alignment, but I want people to keep it in mind depending on how other flips go in the future.
Beyond that, I think I'm going to scale down my participation at least in the first half of D2. I kind of just want to passively take things in, let the game flow through and around me, and see where I'm at with feelings. If you have specific questions for me that absolutely need to be answered, I will try to do so, but for the most part I'm probably just going to take a 10,000 foot view of the thread and see where I am after a bit of that.
The one pre-empt for any questions: No, I didn't do much (re)evaluation on people overnight beyond my thoughts about bop/Colonel that I posted above. I do not have a current preference for who I'd like to see go down at this moment, but despite what I said above, it's "not bop".

I have ISOed Visor, Csargo, Ampharos, and you. Csargo more briefly since I felt good about him and it was the longer.
It was usefull to get a least a quick take on things, but I still haven't read day 1 fully.
I will articulate my reads better as I get them, but I am unlikely to wall, to wallquote, etc... and I won't post reads if I haven't. (I will retract this asa I start making reaction test :bow:)

If all-town wagons D1, my bold and hilarious tinfoil: Hally-GH-Dolb-Ara (Zelda in reserve)
lol. If everybody is OK to flip me already, go ahead. I advise maj if applicable so I don't go through the 20 pages + I have to go through.
Maybe Pizza would say something like, you should be healed if someone is going to fake-claim doctor and the real doctor protects the fakeclaim to negate a kill. With another hidden layer of strategy that I can't simulate.
I would put you at better than-rand town based on EOD, but my intuition is that your poisoner was the vig, not Mafia. This is informed by the last poisoner game here, XCOM, in which Cuth (?) was poisoner and I was doctor and a scumbag got poisoned (but we lost because, among other things, despite all my protects being correct the Mafia had unlimited strongman IIRC :stare: :stare: )

Raskolnikov, it'd be easier to just treat you as confirmed town and try to solve with you today... that being said, what quick takes did you end up with from your ISOs thus far? Or if you want to save it for later after you've read more, that's cool too; no rush!!!
There is no maj in this game, as a note!
I still need to reread EoD; last thoughts from just after the flip were that I liked Dolby's presence!!

I really want to know - you announced you were going to rebalance wagons with a Csargo vote at a set time, I explicitly preempted you, and you still voted Csargo (which I didn't expect and kind of choked me). Did you overlook my vote?
My primary goal at EOD was to keep dya alive. I had them as least likely to flip mafia between the top three wagons we had, and did not want to risk it coming down to a rand. I didn't intend to "rebalance wagons", as you put it, I intended to save dya. I felt like Csargo was always more likely to be the more viable non-dya target at EOD there (just from threadfeel), but if the situations were somewhat reversed, I would have hopped from Csargo to Rask to accomplish the same goal. Your vote helped with that, but it wasn't the primary factor in my thinking.

The only real game-related thought I had overnight (aside from regret that I was one of the major tipping points to put Csar over the top) was that I think bop (AKA Colonel) is a slot of interest. I don't think it's a slot that should be, needs to be, or is going to be resolved today, but I do remember him being instrumental in advocating for the d1 chop being in exactly Csargo/Rask/dya. I'm hesitant about even putting this read out there since I think he was still kinda townie on his own merits and it's a reasonable enough take to have in a vacuum regardless of alignment, but I want people to keep it in mind depending on how other flips go in the future.
Beyond that, I think I'm going to scale down my participation at least in the first half of D2. I kind of just want to passively take things in, let the game flow through and around me, and see where I'm at with feelings. If you have specific questions for me that absolutely need to be answered, I will try to do so, but for the most part I'm probably just going to take a 10,000 foot view of the thread and see where I am after a bit of that.
The one pre-empt for any questions: No, I didn't do much (re)evaluation on people overnight beyond my thoughts about bop/Colonel that I posted above. I do not have a current preference for who I'd like to see go down at this moment, but despite what I said above, it's "not bop".
tl;dr
GH has a heavy flow
any of the org folk have a read on monty i can sponge?

I currently have him as town but it's a low-confidence read.

I thought dya was basically "Amy but with fewer active problems", and Csar had the meta discrepancy I pointed out. It was enough for me to prioritize keeping them around.

I think I posted where I was before EOD. Mostly dropped Dolby to scum lean.
I will leave to sleep a bit now.

idk yet
I dont like raskol's phrasing of things - felt like it was to make a bigger deal of his solving with visor than he was doing but he's poisoned so probably not a slot I need to solve today?
I need to read esooa's other posts (yes, I know, you already disagree with my premise there). It's just a mindset thing. villagers usually vote for a reason, wolves usually vote for agenda

im pretty much in the same mindset as i was at the end of day 1;
My lone tinfoil was that sunbae was snowing me and villa read ara too easily along with csargo;
Part of the reason i went CSargo over rasko/dya. I thikn it was possible for csargo to be a wolf in all worlds, and with argo flipping V and sunbae being a V and rasko being poisoned. all the answers are a day phase away for me before i see if i have to completely rethink where i'm at.
One thing that's true is that if rasko is a villa and dya turns out to be a wolf(note: i am currently leaning not eliminating dya this phase) there is no way in a million years i am ever not tunneling the ta-tas off of GH. ITs a thought i can't fully explain but the basic gist that i can relay is that him saying no to dyachei but yes to rasko/csargo and it turns out rasko csargo are villa and dya.
If I was the poisoner I would poison manti/manasi the following phases
Part of the reason I wouldn't want to dig into dya is that I associate them being a wolf with raqsko being a wolf alot so rasko being poisoned lets me peek into that world while i might want to eliminate into another possibility. I might change my mind though but its where im at now

okay but dya had fewer active problems because they were hardly itt and never did anything when they were, which in and of itself is a problem and i don’t understand how you’re not seeing it as such
i mean, you know dya. you know what they’re like as a villager and that they hate wolfing/have had to wolf a lot lately. you saw how they played D1. it’s kinda baffling to me you weren’t even a little concerned

I didnt even finish the GH thought in my previous post due to frothing at the thought of tunneling on GH, but i think the gist can be gotten

gh, i feel like you’re playing dumb wrt dya and it reminds me of how you dismissed concerns about newcomb D1 of rocks inv
i really just don’t believe you can’t grasp why dya was wolfy D1 or why we’re concerned about them

I think you're misinterpreting. I did not have dya as town yesterday, just the least likely to flip scum among the three. Amy was in the exact same situation as dya but was actively scummier for me before the sub, which I and others commented on (+Rask's posting didn't really move the needle for me). I went for my higher percentages.

i’m not really interested in talking about rask because he’s always dying. is what it is
and okay, looking forward to that

dya's jumping into this phase doing their thing and im happy to see where it goes
What happens if they all flip town?
do you think gh and dya are both town?
why does it have to be wolfy hally?
GeneralHankerchief

Look,
dya was inactive D1 and their posting was off because of it.
Amy was inactive D1 and her posting was off because of it.
That's the baseline, and they both took hits for it in terms of my personal read.
The problems I had with dya's posts yesterday could all be explained by said inactivity/disconnectedness.
The problems I had with Amy's posts yesterday could NOT all be explained by said inactivity/disconnectedness.
Hence, I prioritized Amy/Rask over dya, separately from my own issues with Csargo. I don't really think this should be particularly hard to understand.
And now I really am stepping back.

i think its completely plausible for gh/dya to be any combination of alignments

i don’t think i’m misinterpreting. you seem to be claiming dya was completely rand last day. i’m saying that i don’t understand how you, knowing dya, could actually think that
