Probably also worth reminding everyone that this game was advertised as 'slightly bastard' and that Monty is a cunning devil.
I think that El's reasoning for me is kinda bleh, since it ignores the issues that I had with Rask's posts, which I assume that also had, but I'm going to hold off on him until he rereads

Gimme a take Winston
As mentioned yesterday, I picked up a hint of possible scum theatre from Tim vs. Lewwyn.
I have to head off to work now (wouldn't have posted at all if it wasn't for everyone missing the alien werewolf slavering in the corner), but that's certainly something I'll be looking more closely at this evening.

why was I the only one who used twilight lol
In my case it was because I'd already reduced my night's sleep to less than five hours just to see the flip.

understandable
know your off to work, but why did you give me a significant scum-ding for this post?
you should read the proceding 3 posts to that again I think

Oh, and in case this game has a lie detector role:
I am town ;)

understandable

something about trying to stop the misunderstanding (which scum often do to look townie in my experience) instead of letting it play out (which offers more potential for readable information)
I think that Winston's strech of activity 3 hours before EoD is overall towny
Since I wasn't here for Twilight:
I wanted to vote Rask, but I didn't like Csargo on Rask's wagon, so that put me off voting there.
I voted Dolby because of that post I quoted yesterday, where Dolby said "My issue with Rask is..." and then rattled off some issues. It felt very out of the blue, like "Ahh, Rask is getting some heat, I better prepare a valid reason for suspecting him in case I need to vote him"
And even though I was SRing Rask at the time, I SR'd Dolby more for that.
So,
Vote: Dolby
I'll do a proper re-read when I get to work, I only skimmed a few posts between my last post and EOD.
If you didn't like Csargo on Rask, do you suspect csargo? Why vote dolby over csargo then?
El-ahrairah

If you didn't like Csargo on Rask, do you suspect csargo? Why vote dolby over csargo then?
Yes, and because my thoughts about Csargo were "unease" but my thoughts about Dolby were "this is something I see from scum a lot"

Not a fan of this post but not throwing out a tubful of bathwater over a little dirt washing off the baby either.
If you don't think I'm truth-telling, you need to call me out harder than this.
I think that post was null at best, and I am absolutely sure that you know that it was null at best...there is also nothing in it to indicate the agenda behind it..."truthful townie telling it like it is" certainly possible...so id WIFOMy wolf
You have more respect for my scumgame than it deserves.
It's interesting to me how you're classifying my push as "swinging at whoever is handy" since I don't see why you would reach that conclusion. Care to elaborate?
Sure. El and I are different people. Make of our differences what you will.
Are you debating to the thread or to me? If it's to the thread, fine, but I don't see why this would be a good defense to me since I've never played with you before, I have no basis to believe this. If they're really weaksauce reads to you, it feels more like you're just inflating your postcount by contributing for the sake of contributing.
I don't know who Vro is but he's probably not W with Tim here.
Winston also never W with Tim, these interactions are not theatre.
El-ahrairah
04-23-2021, 09:08
Is there any way to bookmark posts here?
Why Dolby?
I think Tim pushed on him the way he pushes on/distances from partners
El-ahrairah
04-23-2021, 09:15
probably equal
I'm a little puzzled by the OP
the thread is simple; we just chop Raskol, Chessguy, and HK, and if the wolves haven't slaughtered Argon for claiming cop we circle back and chop him
Interesting.
Yes, and because my thoughts about Csargo were "unease" but my thoughts about Dolby were "this is something I see from scum a lot"
The scum "gotta have a reason prepped for voting someone" is pretty classic sure but Dolby has been commenting on everyone, and in that particular post he gave short reads on a lot of different people. I don't particularly agree with his point but in the end... Dolby was commenting on how Rask was lacking substance, but specifically calling out Rask for clearing Tim, which at this point looks like a bad call by Rask. Unless you think Dolby attacking a townie that was TRing Tim was part of the wolfing strat. I don't particularly see this as a set up on Rask, rather as a defined read.
I think Tim pushed on him the way he pushes on/distances from partners
Describe please
Interesting.
When I was going through Tims ISO I decided to skip that since it seemed deliberately facetious/mainly joking
Panda feels townie to me for reasons I can't currently explain.
Can you explain the reasons now? Or is this part of Monty being a bastard?

So you're saying Dolby is lock town?
This feels like a very shy thread. Anyone could be a scummy scum scum. I read it all and am happily clueless.:help:
Are you still happily clueless? You didn't vote in the last lynch.
El-ahrairah
04-23-2021, 09:28
I think it's clear.
he's frustrated at the lack of development in thread. Yeah it can come from mafia, yeah it can be faked by mafia, but I just like it.
I like Dolby for liking this.
I don't.
If you know something can come from mafia, and something can be faked by mafia, then logically the default position is "this is null" at best. Feels like an EZ TR on C4P0.
So you're saying Dolby is lock town?
I'm saying I disagree with your assessment with that particular comment, and overall I find him pretty townie. But no I won't lock him on the beginning of Day 2.

Good morning fellow space citizens!
Page 1 - It looks like there's a wolf in csargo/rask. Dolby feels good. Borg guts town for fake derping.
Page 2 - I guess both wolves and towns posted on the page, but nothing decisive.
Page 3 - Lewwyn's choice of posts to respond to is noteworthy, but too light to be alignment indicative. Csargo being more active than usual is mildly unsettling.
Overall, not much to talk about yet. HK and Csargo could be waffles together, if Rask town, but that's a nasty association I got here. HK's approach to this game feels slightly diferent than the last time, but my alignment was different back then and It was easy to see towniness in his posts.
Rask feels really hyped for this game despite claiming light disappointment about his role. I haven't decided if it's a good look yet.
C4 posted enough for me to notice them, but that's all I can say about their posts with certainty.
Tim not flooding the gates with posts probably should be a villa lean, but it would be a meh meta lean.
Villa leans: Dolby, Borg
Scum potential: Rask, Csargo, HK
I like this post slightly less on re-read. Cap drops from TR to null.
I don't.

If the default is "this is null" then you shouldn't dislike it either.
I like this post slightly less on re-read. Cap drops from TR to null.
In particular is it his soft meta TR on Tim?
This interaction between C4 and Panda:
hk is town
Response:
What's your policy here , make a post saying "This guy is town" after he places some read sort of stuff? Posting D1 reads are wolfy , while I questioned zelda's alignment , I actually contradicted my words over the fact that D1 reads are wolfish.
How did the contradiction escape your eyes?
vote:c4
Reason: Townreads me for a one liner contradictory post
Response:
What the fuck
This whole... "reads don't exist on D1" thing you're doing...
It's dumb. I'm sorry but it's just dumb.
would be perfectly happy chopping panda/pzelda/raskol
Think Panda's a misguided townie. He seems to really believe this snippet of mafia theory he's using.
I don't particularly agree with C4's eventual opinion on Panda being misguided. Panda's interaction feels a bit obfuscatory, also claiming "didn't you see the mistake I made? you must be scum" is like a bad gotcha moment. I don't think Panda moves on from this from the rest of the day. I would like to hear Panda's take on C4's innocence.
Player list looks fun. I can read these people:
hollowkatt
Raskol (but never seen him woofin)
Tim
Gnome (in turbos with 100% accuracy, slightly less in normal speed games)
I've also played before with LA, Nanook, Csar and Cap so feel comfortable reading them. If I think any are woofin, I'll let you know.
Are any of them woofing? What's the read on Gnome? Still suss on Csar?
El-ahrairah

Lew white-knighting Dolby a LOT since pretty early D1 and continuing now. Might be worth looking into if Dolby flips V

No, it's that his post doesn't have an organic feel to it.

More specifically looking into your suspicion of him because I'm not sure about you.

I don't dislike C4's post at all (he's dead and town). I dislike Dolby's TR on what I think he should consider null based on his own comments.

04-23-2021, 10:37
I really don't have much to go on other than we don't need to worry about Tim. My cop check on him has shown me that he will be mechanically a no factor.
BP's insistence that Tim = V probably comes from Town. I've only played with LA/BP a couple of times but I don't think he's the sort of player to insist on a fake green check on a bro.
El-ahrairah
04-23-2021, 10:38
I'm just gonna give Gnome a pass for today.

If you look at my later posts my check turns less green and more red.
Describe please
I think pushed on you the way he pushes on/distances from partners
If I post the same joke again without skipping a word can we all just pretend it never happened

No, I didn't. Kind of by accident. My Wednesday evenings are super busy, and EOD occurred when I wasn't able to post. I intend to vote today, and it does look like people are saying more than they did yesterday.

I liked you better when you were a snake.
~D
Before fully catching up, let me tell one thing. I think Tim flipping scum makes HK town for correctly calling out his meta. I think is important, because it was just meta and not HK going head on against Tim.
Since I wasn't here for Twilight:
I wanted to vote Rask, but I didn't like Csargo on Rask's wagon, so that put me off voting there.
I voted Dolby because of that post I quoted yesterday, where Dolby said "My issue with Rask is..." and then rattled off some issues. It felt very out of the blue, like "Ahh, Rask is getting some heat, I better prepare a valid reason for suspecting him in case I need to vote him"
And even though I was SRing Rask at the time, I SR'd Dolby more for that.
So,
Vote: Dolby
I'll do a proper re-read when I get to work, I only skimmed a few posts between my last post and EOD.
I don't know what to think about this post. Dolbster looks like an easy townread for me this game. His posts feels like genuine solving and he's not super reliant on meta. All of his findings make sense. Sticking to this read feels weak from you.
Probably also worth reminding everyone that this game was advertised as 'slightly bastard' and that Monty is a cunning devil.
Hottake, this guy ain't town. He's too interested in mechanics and the game being bastard.

And yet I'm not losing any sleep over it.
HK maybe. Gnome is null, Csar is meh.
Interesting to see you don't have a Gnome read.
I need to reread d1, because I'm slightly confused by two totally different groups of reads happening right now.
I wonder if I should stick to rask/csargo w/v impression from page 1.
Gnome/Winston both feel like possible anti-towns. From their early interaction, I got a feeling that they might have a private chat together.
Dolby, HK, Lewwyn feels like towns, but I need to reread or pay more attention to new content from them to confirm this with evidence.
Borg Argon def town.
Ibn and Panda are under radar for me. Panda's posts felt like low impact "safe" posts. Ibn just posted without explaining a lot.
I don't remember a single post from Vroendal.
Nanook is sus, but I'm also currently influenced by Dolby's post.
El feels somehow lacking so far, but I'm sure he can pick it up, if town.
El-ahrairah
04-23-2021, 16:06

Doubtful, I'm juggling 3 jobs and haven't had a day off in 12 days.
It's kinda weird that you say I can pick it up "if town" - in my last game I was highest poster and was scum, so it's not like a massive splurge of energy and WIM from me would be AI in any way. I'm just doing what I can with the little time I have at a PC.
why am I weird re;Tims?
lack of interactions, easy tr, I just remember thinking you were hands off early game with tims kinda like you didn't want to engage there.
skimming your iso, I think this might be wrong though, and I'm misremembering things.

Hey, guys, I apologise for my tardiness. Catching up and getting to know the forums.
Doubtful, I'm juggling 3 jobs and haven't had a day off in 12 days.

I'm not really looking for amount of content, but for moments, which clearly sell you to me as town. I know that you're capable of posting a lot, but you should know that I'm trying to have a different base than pure meta too.
hollowkatt
04-23-2021, 17:49
I think if anyone gave Tim an easy TR it was me tbh
Do you still think he's town?
We kill tim with fire, I hear you loud and clear
It seems quite abstract from pzelda , he starts reading wolf based on nothing. D1 reads seems quite out of place to me .
Hm, I kind of think this duo hides at least one wolf. Nanook responding in that way to Tim's first post is something I need to further think about. It feels slightly artificial, especially with turning it into a tr.
Panda, I'm biased obv, but I dislike that they're dismissing stuff in their first post without creating anything of their own.
So: early reads...these are obviously subject to development, but will be decisive. Nulls are for wimps.
Argon: in first, claims cop, claims ridiculous n0 check on me, uses avatar basically open referencing that he is a wolf...just another day in the life for him...if he is a wolf he has partners and at least some of those partners would be saying "WTF dude?" because they don't know him. No sign of that discomfort; Argon town.
Chessguy: lots of posts, creates image of "let's get started" by picking at gif posters but doesn't say anything really, overeager to be read on this; probs just a wolf.
Csargo: throwing them gif, but a LOT of them, then shifted to words and stayed overbusy for Csargo; probs a wolf.
Raskol: Emphasizing "disappointed by the rand" which is code for "I claim village," doesn't mention me until he finds a way to be agreeable instead of challenging immediately so trying to stay off radar; probs a wolf.
Dolby: meaningless paragoning of Argon, early read of Chessguy that I disagree with, challenged and stuck to it in a good way. Town.
Hollowkatt: comes in swinging to draw attention, early targeting on Raskol so reval as potential w/w there, seems to be worried about me an appropriate amount. Town
Nanook: enters by establishing slanker cred, immediately threatens to kill the person that helps him. Town
Winston: entry by Hardclaim, no additional posts. lean town
Lewynn: entry is softballed off previous post, but second post indicates reading of full thread, then back to softballing off another entry. Probs wolf
Pzelda: opens with a developed reads post which he just got wolf bombed for last time I saw him and he didn't get bombed for it here. May just have done a better job of it, but... Probs just town.
Panda: points out Pzeldas read post as unique, which is accurate, but wolfs it just for that without challenging the reads. Wolf
Many not posted yet. Gnome, Ibn, Laurentus, El, Vro...get your stuff together.
These three feel the thinnest and as possible fake reads of wolf buddies. Nanook and Panda might be pocket attempts, but there's no reason to tr town winston for his entrance.
Hi, I'm here. Are you town?
This feels like a very shy thread. Anyone could be a scummy scum scum. I read it all and am happily clueless.:help:
I also am without the clues, Queen Gnome. Maybe they all are scum?
The whole GG/Winston conversation feels fake. I can't get over some wording in Gnome's posts such as scum scum and her asking other player if they're town.
LA is a paragon, sorry I don't make the rules
fine
Why?
Not really?
this is bleh. Like, it feels like you're picking at the post for the reason that it happens to exist and that I gave the first read.
I feel mildly fine with him. Just vibes
I like Lewwyn for Lewwyn liking me for me liking Chessguy :p
Felt that I could get something in here but not really. I guess it's a good look that he's probably looking in the right spot for page 1, but as Pzelda says, not much to talk about yet. I guess I don't like that there's more scum potential than villa leans but w/e?
I think that Tims has only really made declarative statements?
Talk about these more pls
Bad
So here's my problem with Rask. It feels like he's mashing his mouthparts together and expecting something substantial to come out, but it's not. We've got his second sussing Csargo, that I was writing off as a joke until I saw this
literally everything Tims made at that point was declarative statements which didn't show any process, just an "ok I think that these three people are bad". He makes a "separate post" about Csargo which is all about him wanting to go full throttle for ??? reasons. I can write off the HK and Winston stuff as rask just doing whatever, but it feels like activity for activities sake
We also have this
This is just asking a question for it's own sake. Why would c4 change his read on me? I hadn't posted since
Ok, I need to see how this developed, but it's possible that Dolby tmi-ed Tim scum in his case on Rask.
El-ahrairah

Tim can certainly confirm , can he not ?
Panda possibly forcing an interaction with Tim
Could you expand on what you mean here?
I meant the way he attacked Rask for townreading Tim by pinning down very precisely the problematic nature of Tim's early posts. I don't think anyone else talked about them at that point. It could be a good eye, but in that case we should see more sussing of Tim in Dolby's iso later.

Can you explain the reasons now? Or is this part of Monty being a bastard?
I meant that it was a gut reaction (or, more literally, some unconscious heuristic I had yet to identify).
When I reread later on, I'll see if I can figure out what I was seeing there.
Do you have any thoughts about my EZ TR of Tim yesterday?
I know very little about you as a player, so not really. I remember you being good, so it doesn't tell me much.
I have experienced wolf who hardly gives anything , and asks everyone about everything. Floods the chat with questions , but stays a miser with answers.
This response to Tim feels kinda forced too from Panda.
unvote
I suppose I ought to start making an effort to read the thread and form opinions about stuff.
Being a civilised creature, however, first I need cocktails, dinner, dancing, and perhaps a little light petting to get me in the mood.
On the other hand, maybe I'll just smash a microwaveable doner kebab and four wicked-strength cheap lagers through my facehole while watching some shit on the telly.
Either way, I'll be back at some point before eod to attempt a degree of actual participation.
p.s. Anyone who reads me as anything other than straight null up to and including this point is either lying or wrong.
the best slank cover post ever

I think Dolby did sus Tim at EoD iirc. I don't think it was for Tim's early posts though, but for how Tim was going after Dolby at EoD. I need to go back and read EoD, but I'm pretty sure that was the case.

Hottake, this guy ain't town. He's too interested in mechanics and the game being bastard.
Not so much being interested in mechanics (that's not in my meta in any direction), as having actually read the host's posts and feeling like nobody else had.
Town #2 identified
El landing hard on the thread is a town read for now.
Not gonna lie, I don't like El's early posts. It looks like he townread my long post just to justify reading Tim's long post later. I wonder why he skipped other posts in between.
Also, Tim immediately returning the favour is meh-ish.
Town #2 identified
Never lynching here today.
Lewwyn looks townie enough, though I would warn against underestimating his ability to fake it.
HK feels natural. And being the top poster by a distance, I'm never voting here d1.
towny string of posts bei Winston.

Are you the type of player who gives easy TRs to your woof partners?
*thinks*
Depends on the partner. If it's someone I like, consider competent enough to handle the bromance and genuinely want to survive as long as possible with, then yes.
If they're baggage, no.
Town #2 identified
Never lynching here today.
Lewwyn looks townie enough, though I would warn against underestimating his ability to fake it.
D1 Reads:
Town leans -
El-A - Opening reads very townie to me, puts in immediate effort to lock down his thoughts on thread, asks for clarification on posts through read-through.
CutePanda - Makes a post that catches flak, claims it was a contradictory bait. Calls on others to defend him for his activity. I will vouch that I’ve seen CP make plays like this before as town and that I’m doubtful he would take this approach as scum. Has a confusing ISO.
hollowkat - High amount of analysis in general, provides unique takes on players such as Rask, LA,
c4 - Early game indicative of townie WIM, shields HK, calls a weird post by CP townie while taking it as face value which is mehhh, bemoans post-count multiple times, makes a decent push on pzelda.
Lewwyn - Has been sheeping a few reads. Has broached on the idea of Winston/Garden being suspicious.
Raskolnikov - I have absolutely no read on his posts, I’m more inclined to town-read the way he went about interacting with Csargo and Winston, felt townier.
Tim - Makes a very detailed reads-list and attempts to take charge early. Makes high-effort analysis on defending players such as LA. Would be higher but I don’t trust him at all.
Nulls -
Dolby - Dayshielded LA for reasons I don’t quite understand, has cross-examined multiple posts.
BorgPicard - Conforms to own claiming meta, changes up his claim.
pzelda - First post is analysis, I was unable to establish any read based on his posts.
Csargo - Posted too many gifs, has been cross-examining.
Laurentus - Has yet to post. Will likely not post today. He has done this as town and scum.
Nanook - Conforms to own WIL meta.
Scum leans -
Ibn-Khaldun - Makes opportunistic vote to see tie, attacks LA for being anti-town, probably not w/w with LA.
Garden Gnome - Leads with nothing, interaction with Winston feels forced. Complains of lack of information. Opportunistically pushes BorgPicard based on jokes. Made a distancing poke at Winston for voting HK.
Winston - First post is a “Muller” hardclaim, forces players to use google translate, omgus votes Rask. Makes promise to analyze. Spams thread near EoD. Has been pursuing a wolfy playstyle intentionally.
Winston why are you town?
A lot of commentary in this list (look at these nulls) and the read on tim smells of w/w, especially the I don't trust him part.
Vote: Vroendal
Not so much being interested in mechanics (that's not in my meta in any direction), as having actually read the host's posts and feeling like nobody else had.
You're right, I haven't read them yet.
I'm standing with my initial read there. Pzelda has a history of being kinda lackadasical on day one and getting caught woofin' before he settles in. The way his first post went by without stirring an immediate alarm sort of seems like town Pzelda. Not a "wait for LYLO and look again" read by any stretch but I think there are better places to go today.
Raskol needs to show up here.
Dolby is looking worse every time I look.
I'd run either of them out ahead of Pzelda.
Yeah, Csargo, this is kind of a good look for Dolby.

Gnome/Winston both feel like possible anti-towns. From their early interaction, I got a feeling that they might have a private chat together.
Really?
I mean, I do like to hang the odd lampshade, but I'm not a total maniac.
As scum, the margin of error is too small to be making such blatant associations just for the lulz.
Of course, I'm not expecting anyone to treat Gnome and I as mutually exclusive in the wolf stakes. Shit gets faked all the time.
But the idea that our exchange supports a theory of mutual scumhood is kinda worryingly weak.

I suppose I ought to start making an effort to read the thread and form opinions about stuff.
Being a civilised creature, however, first I need cocktails, dinner, dancing, and perhaps a little light petting to get me in the mood.
On the other hand, maybe I'll just smash a microwaveable doner kebab and four wicked-strength cheap lagers through my facehole while watching some shit on the telly.
Either way, I'll be back at some point before eod to attempt a degree of actual participation.

Not gonna lie, I don't like El's early posts. It looks like he townread my long post just to justify reading Tim's long post later. I wonder why he skipped other posts in between.
Also, Tim immediately returning the favour is meh-ish.
I'm not sure what you mean. I read pages 1-7, commented on anything that caught my eye, then went to bed. At that point there were still posts in the game I hadn't read, but there were a whole bunch of nothing-posts that I just outright ignored because they were talk about gifs and stuff and I really didn't care.

I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself, I like you as a player. Unfortunately, you're a wolf, and I can't stand for that.
So, Raskol was in the lead at this point and this feels like Vro made a safe vote (without an actual real push to make his candidate hang imho)
El/Tim pair has the most synergy.
Vro is the scummiest player in the thread, but their interactions with Tim are fairly good.
I think I want to go individual scumread over association and a weaker scumread, tho.

Tbh, thinking it over, your response (are they all scum or something like that) is witty and looks good. My initial impression was that the two of you might be some kind of masons/lovers, but seeing the context of your other interactions, it's just Gnome, who feels iffy.

Also, one thing worth mention about Panda is that they scumread both me and C4 instead of siding with one of us (I didn't scumread C4, but I also couldn't find anything reliable to tr them for). That's more likely a towny stance than not. I think a wolf would be more likely to side to get townread from one of the sides.
Still, Panda's just below the null line for overall content in my reads, because I need to see reads/takes on more players from them.

I probably put Nanook too high and he should be a tier lower because of Tim's posts. I think his provoking declarations about killing tim are more likely a reckless town without any developed reads just making noise than distancing. Tim possibly tried to pocket Nanook in his wall too. Nanook on his own, without associations, feels like a low effort town too.

As mentioned yesterday, I picked up a hint of possible scum theatre from Tim vs. Lewwyn.
I have to head off to work now (wouldn't have posted at all if it wasn't for everyone missing the alien werewolf slavering in the corner), but that's certainly something I'll be looking more closely at this evening.
talk to me about Lewwyn
HK maybe. Gnome is null, Csar is meh.
"maybe" doesn't really tell me anything for HK. not sure if this is null or sus
BP's insistence that Tim = V probably comes from Town. I've only played with LA/BP a couple of times but I don't think he's the sort of player to insist on a fake green check on a bro.
Think BP is town, particularly for how his take on Tims varied so widely over the day and not even with hte few places he was pressured, but this is ignoring the context that no one is taking an LA cop claim seriously
I'm just gonna give Gnome a pass for today.
Why? Everything that I've seen from them has not felt great
Nanook has a good chance of being town and I hate it
pzelda's progression on Winston specifically today is fine. Actually looking back I don't like his mason read on Winston/GG but I think it's w/e
I meant the way he attacked Rask for townreading Tim by pinning down very precisely the problematic nature of Tim's early posts. I don't think anyone else talked about them at that point. It could be a good eye, but in that case we should see more sussing of Tim in Dolby's iso later.
I left at pretty much that point, came back later, felt that Tims vote on me was the worst of the bunch, decided that he was likely town in the runup to EoD for activity, then decided that he didn't deserve a TL during twilight but don't think I explicitly said that.
I might look into Vro later if required but doubt he's red
So, Raskol was in the lead at this point and this feels like Vro made a safe vote (without an actual real push to make his candidate hang imho)
El/Tim pair has the most synergy.
Vro is the scummiest player in the thread, but their interactions with Tim are fairly good.
I think I want to go individual scumread over association and a weaker scumread, tho.
I think that any vote that isn't me or Rask could be considered a safe vote by this metric

I'm not ready. I had an opinion yesterday that Tim/Lew could be scumtheatre. Seeing the former flip scum raises that prospect today. And while the latter is posting extremely townie, I've seen him scum at RB enough times to know he's capable of convincing fakery. All of which gives my brain reasons to want to read him scummy here - it's a bias trap. I will definitely want to revisit that thought-process, but first I need to rebuild my overall picture by rereading the thread in light of the flips, so I'm not just looking for reasons why I was right.

Oh, so you're saying I was picking a fight with Winston specifically since he was in the thread at the time of my post. No, I pushed him because he has what I believe to be the clearest wolfy behavior from his lackluster posts throughout the day, making reading his posts purposefully harder by putting one and another language and needlessly stringing out reads into multiple posts, his stilted interactions with another suspicious player, and his lackadaisical vote and unvote on Rask.
I have difficulty analyzing this early and I struggle to articulate my reads, but that doesn't mean I'm making things up based on nothing. El seems like a good player and I respect his effort and playstyle, I can't be El though.
I'm close to reading Vroe non-maf for this post.
The only thing stopping me is that Tim knows how prone I am to hard-townreading people who come at me like Vroe did.

With scum already a man down, taking out the sk would put us in a good position.
But it's hardly a straightforward task. I think Dolby could be the sk. But I also struggle to think of any player who couldn't be the sk.
We need to keep hunting scum, but also keep in mind that someone being non-scummy doesn't necessarily make them townie.

The SK should care about the alignment of their victims, but also about the abilities of their victims.
Taking out a scum was probably a win for the sk last night, but they'd have been better off if the target had been a more powerful role, whether town or scum.

I really really like the posts he made today. They read like town trying to solve and make sense of things and they don't feel contrived or forced. Like he is stream of consciousness posting and solving.

I think his provoking declarations about killing tim are more likely a reckless town without any developed reads just making noise than distancing. Tim possibly tried to pocket Nanook in his wall too. Nanook on his own, without associations, feels like a low effort town too.
You're right, I haven't read them yet.
Yeah, Csargo, this is kind of a good look for Dolby.
Before fully catching up, let me tell one thing. I think Tim flipping scum makes HK town for correctly calling out his meta. I think is important, because it was just meta and not HK going head on against Tim.
Since I wasn't here for Twilight:
I wanted to vote Rask, but I didn't like Csargo on Rask's wagon, so that put me off voting there.
I voted Dolby because of that post I quoted yesterday, where Dolby said "My issue with Rask is..." and then rattled off some issues. It felt very out of the blue, like "Ahh, Rask is getting some heat, I better prepare a valid reason for suspecting him in case I need to vote him"
And even though I was SRing Rask at the time, I SR'd Dolby more for that.
So,
Vote: Dolby
I'll do a proper re-read when I get to work, I only skimmed a few posts between my last post and EOD.
I don't know what to think about this post. Dolbster looks like an easy townread for me this game. His posts feels like genuine solving and he's not super reliant on meta. All of his findings make sense. Sticking to this read feels weak from you.
I need to reread d1, because I'm slightly confused by two totally different groups of reads happening right now.
I wonder if I should stick to rask/csargo w/v impression from page 1.
Gnome/Winston both feel like possible anti-towns. From their early interaction, I got a feeling that they might have a private chat together.
Dolby, HK, Lewwyn feels like towns, but I need to reread or pay more attention to new content from them to confirm this with evidence.
Borg Argon def town.
Ibn and Panda are under radar for me. Panda's posts felt like low impact "safe" posts. Ibn just posted without explaining a lot.
I don't remember a single post from Vroendal.
Nanook is sus, but I'm also currently influenced by Dolby's post.
El feels somehow lacking so far, but I'm sure he can pick it up, if town.

possible, I felt bad about Dolby at the start of the game, reminiscent of the Zack game, but analysis wise it's more inline with t!Dolby
What about Dolby reminded you of the Zack game?

I try. you probably had to be there.
every time I look at Pzelda I feel that what I'm thinking isn't good
Trying to read IK, I kinda want to say his choice his to respond to Tims is maybe slightly not w/w but honestly I'm grasping at whatever straws I can because there mathematically has to be town among the people who decided to kinda push LA D1 for his cop shenanigans. Still think that going after Csargo was is alright given the context of the time, but also noticed that it follows the dicohotomy that Pzelda put forward earlier
I keep on thinking that Csargo is lightly town without seeing anything that sets it for me
I think that HK was doing not-mafia stuff during most parts of D1.
I think that Borg's choices in interaction with Tims over the course of the day is probably not mafia, but I am not committing to this read. I do think that he's generally town tbh, but again, unwilling to set it
Not seeing any reason to read GG town
Might actually move Lewwyn down a bit because thinking about it again I think that the Tims interactions that sold him to me are fakeable. I like almost all of his takes still, like in here
It felt like a pretty honest interaction to me. Dolby reads c4 as being more frustrated by the slower speed of development of the thread, and I think it's a good read.
Since then I think C4 has also leaned more town for me with his HK read, and Dolby has also continued to feel pretty townie, rather open and easy in manner.
Here's a bone: I think that LA and [REDACTED] both have heightened SK potential

I town read you lol
I'm not ready. I had an opinion yesterday that Tim/Lew could be scumtheatre. Seeing the former flip scum raises that prospect today. And while the latter is posting extremely townie, I've seen him scum at RB enough times to know he's capable of convincing fakery. All of which gives my brain reasons to want to read him scummy here - it's a bias trap. I will definitely want to revisit that thought-process, but first I need to rebuild my overall picture by rereading the thread in light of the flips, so I'm not just looking for reasons why I was right.
Thanks for the faith in my skill. :bow:
I don't know as many people in this game so I've played it very straight. Luckily I'm just town so all I need to do is hunt scum.
No, I didn't. Kind of by accident. My Wednesday evenings are super busy, and EOD occurred when I wasn't able to post. I intend to vote today, and it does look like people are saying more than they did yesterday.
I know that I am town.
hollowkatt is town, I think.
Let' me try to give some ideas about the others in another post.
Vote : Gnome
So I get the missing the vote, fine, but I don't think you've provided many reads beyond yourself and HK this game. I'm not a big fan of the being pushed into making reads and then not saying anything. You've been actively engaged in the conversation, but haven't really shown a critical eye to it. Since you're going to vote today who's it going to be?
Dolby is truthsome in a way that makes me think not scum, but possibly sk.
On the other hand, Dolby's been sticking his head out more than is wise for an sk in this situation, and he probably knows better than that.
On the other other hand, I know better than that and it's never stopped me.
sk rand = the temptation of total joy
So Sk, but not Sk, but maybe Sk anyway. Got it. :laugh4:
Townies:
El it's a gut thing that I cannot explain at all but I want to kill him.
Do you think that gut thing is contagious?
I'm close to reading Vroe non-maf for this post.
The only thing stopping me is that Tim knows how prone I am to hard-townreading people who come at me like Vroe did.
Confidence says occam's razor; paranoia says leave a little asterisk.
What exactly makes you townlean vroe in that post? The way he scumread you for fairly good reasons or the way he compared himself to el? I think the former is a good list to sr someone, but it might be too focused on picturing you as scum, while being very articulate (in direct contrast to the second part of the post, where Vroe claimed that he couldn't analyze that early) to be a town post. Like my impression is that earl scumreads coming from town are way more chaotic than cleanly posting all reasons for a sr without a hint of doubt.
I know I might be wrong and call me out if you think differently.
Am I universally townread yet?

If you like I could ask questions and vote for you in two separate posts but that seems inefficient. I voted for you because I felt like you were being evasive in your approach, I asked the question to see who you'd vote for, or to see who you'd suspect. As it is you can take it or leave it. You're still being evasive and defensive. It's still early in the day and I've made it clear there are a number of people I'm suspicious of. If you want to have an actual discussion of the game, my perception of your evasiveness is part of it.

Response:
I don't particularly agree with C4's eventual opinion on Panda being misguided. Panda's interaction feels a bit obfuscatory, also claiming "didn't you see the mistake I made? you must be scum" is like a bad gotcha moment. I don't think Panda moves on from this from the rest of the day. I would like to hear Panda's take on C4's innocence.

Panda possibly forcing an interaction with Tim
Honestly , I wanted people to see that post , check the quote above. That should be enough proof I will never have reasons to hide a w!Tim , and trying to pin a veteran wolf as a player , in his very first wolf game , is improbable . Please note , I am yet to have a wolf game , this one is not mu debut as wolf either.

Hollowkat confirmed mafia. Why else would he vote for the town cop. Tim can confirm to you in your mafia chat that he is vanilla town and that my n0 peek is 100% legit.
What importance does this hold ? Is hk mafia as well ? pzelda about the message in which I said "Tim can certainly confirm , can he not? " . I meant to quote this post , but with a slightly different mechanics and icons , I missed out. I have overcome those problems now though.

This one will fetch a lot of controversy. I haven't seen Tim play much , and if there is a seer sort of role , Tim being the first check makes sense , given the reputation he has. Is it too very far fetched that LA is a mafia , doing a fake claim. He does say Tim is town and basically insists on it throughout, until he gives some compelling interactions. I mean he tried to stay ahead of the real cop , by faking early and getting a mech clear . Seems to out of the world idea, I will save it for later usage.
As of c4 dying , I think it should be someone who he townread , but is a wolf.
CutePanda
04-24-2021, 05:35
Vro doesn't seem right to me either. Also , I think we must look for distancing attempts with LA. Either LA is a wolf fake claiming so wolves are trying to pin him , or he is wolf himself trying to get a mech clear. J don't know which one to follow , and suggestions are welcome.

I never set a timeline for you to answer any questions. I vote as I said as an extension of my intent. I’m not interested in lynching a villager so of course I ask questions as well as vote. I would rather hear more from you and see if you are town and change my vote or hear more from you and have my thoughts confirmed.
Also my question is more to say who would you vote for. That would mean who do you suspect of being scum. I don’t think my question much of an onerous burden or a huge inquisition as you are making it out to be. You’ve spent more time claiming to be a victim here than actually providing any substantive reads. You seem more interested in defending than actually scum hunting.

So, I checked the Tally from the last day..
I think the bandwagon on Rask was all townies. If the mafia was smart they'll just let it happen and vote for someone else so they wouldn't be connected to the Rask lynching.
This is the tally from D1. Btw, it seems Monty didn't remove Tims vote on Dolby after he had voted for Borg. I got confused for a second seeing Tim voting twice..

Unfortunatelly I don't have the "he played wolf in the last game this way so he must be wolf in this game as well" meta that a lot of you use. I haven't played mafia for almost 7 years and the only person I have played with is Csargo I think but even then it was long time ago.
Why Vroendal? Cause if he ends up being mafia then Winston is more likely a townie. Also, cause Tim voted Borg I like to believe he is not mafia either.

Okay, so I can't figure out how to do the multiquotes without it reaching some sort of limit and not allowing me to quote any more posts, so I guess I'll just take these ones for now and continue afterwards:
ngl want to townread this
Where are your walls and why are you already town-reading people, alternate-me?
probably equal
I'm a little puzzled by the OP
the thread is simple; we just chop Raskol, Chessguy, and HK, and if the wolves haven't slaughtered Argon for claiming cop we circle back and chop him
Who of these people did Tim end up pushing? Because good look for whoever he seriously pushed, given his flip. Bad/neutral look for those he didn't.
my partner will protect me...they are a doc/mason
Who claimed doc/mason, if any?
There's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, we're wearing sunglasses, and I'm killing Csargo.
Did he end up pushing?

Good morning fellow space citizens!
Page 1 - It looks like there's a wolf in csargo/rask. Dolby feels good. Borg guts town for fake derping.
Page 2 - I guess both wolves and towns posted on the page, but nothing decisive.
Page 3 - Lewwyn's choice of posts to respond to is noteworthy, but too light to be alignment indicative. Csargo being more active than usual is mildly unsettling.
Overall, not much to talk about yet. HK and Csargo could be waffles together, if Rask town, but that's a nasty association I got here. HK's approach to this game feels slightly diferent than the last time, but my alignment was different back then and It was easy to see towniness in his posts.
Rask feels really hyped for this game despite claiming light disappointment about his role. I haven't decided if it's a good look yet.
C4 posted enough for me to notice them, but that's all I can say about their posts with certainty.
Tim not flooding the gates with posts probably should be a villa lean, but it would be a meh meta lean.
Villa leans: Dolby, Borg
Scum potential: Rask, Csargo, HK
Highlighted and underlined the portions I'm addressing. I get a strong info-not-analysis read off the first two highlighted portions, and that alone makes me wolf-lean.
From the 3rd, why are HK and Csargo wolves if Rask is Town?
4th one still bothers me for sounding super non-commital.
I am still on p3 now. Will catch up with the rest in due time.
