nvm, I was expecting some activity based read/shade/shitpost from Sunbae smh (and u seemed potentially encouraging it lol) so it's kinda moot since it seems serious. I am actually curious about Sunbae's read on Ender now.
sorry Benneh, I took your words literrally. Won't do it again. honnest
I'm downgrading from "I'm just going to kill the slot" to "that was a weird post"

if you ask me for raisins and want more than "i feel it in my berrens" then dont ask
can u expand on the IH read. he seems like, an ~easy town find here tbh
is he?
nebjiamn

is he?
ya.
It might just be a me thing, but I find it easier to hide in the absurdity that is stream-of-consciousness posting. You can use a lot of words to say very little and actually seem like you're putting in effort. More or less the basis of my wolf game.
In that way, I always react poorly to meandering posts.
ok i just kinda agreed with this
Therefore...
Therefor I asked insomnia why he TRed him lol.
So if you just post a one word reply you cant expect to be understood correctly but I figured you wanted to know what my conclusion was. That was it. I found Arctics posting NAI, so I was worried about people townreading it.
The implied question was "why are you posting this?"
What does that have to do with insomnia? And who's "him" in this context? Arctic? Sunbae? And for that matter, *when did you even do that*?
From what I can tell, and I *have* reread your posts again, this seems to be in response to Jan's list. Is that incorrect?
It has to do with insomnia because insomnia posted
that arctic post is so convoluted that he probably lack claired himself next to stett
seems like the game should solve itself shortly
as a read on Arctics post. I probably didn't make that clear enough and just referred to what I was thinking at the time. I found that specific read as reaction to Arctics post unwarranted.

The thing with Jan was a different train of thought? had nothing to do with arctic. I have no read on Arctic rn he needs to post more lol, as I said I found it NAI. if you implicitly wanted me to make the conclusion I suggested with regards to Jan no I just didn't and I don't. I think Arctics post were genuinely NAI and not the kind of NAI where they were probably a wolf for being so NAI, they havent done enough yet.

InstantHammer from MU
Sunbae: words on Ender pretty pls :p
To further clarify.
wolves are usually the people you have no read on. like. they kinda sound nice and you wanna give them a townlean becuz it feels like you should but something is missing that makes you really convinced.
This was the only post I was asking about. I was not asking about your arctic-insom stuff, I am taking your word that arctic's posts being meandering is nai.
you were asking about the other post too, it was just a random smartass comment whats ur point about it. i said something that meant nothing to you or maybe to anyone.
You went on to say that it was a random smartass comment.
"wolves are usually the people you have no read on. like. they kinda sound nice and you wanna give them a townlean becuz it feels like you should but something is missing that makes you really convinced."
So what I was pointing out is that you posted this *after* Jan posted a reads list with a tier of
"people I should have a read on but I simply don't"
To reiterate, this is the *only* post I'm analyzing.
I might not have played a ton of games recently but I have railed some from the shadows and like, idk, I feel like people expect <thing> out of dya that dya just doesn't ever really actually do and then when they don't see <thing> they just shadeshadeshade and then dya gets on the defensive a bit and then because dya has been shaded when they start dropping reads people just throw their hands up a bit and go "oh shucks im not sure what to make out of all this ill just focus elsewhere for a bit" and then they and their reads just kinda sit in their own untouched universe for a couple game days
and like, idk, i read dyas posts and they seem like an obvious villager and id like to try to prevent that from happening here?
i'm really not expecting anything in particular from dya especially since their first post was about lowering expectations
that being said I find it hard to give a ton of credit to the bulk of their work when so much of it seems to come from a pov of like, preemptive defensiveness.
"Obvious" is a pretty strong word so I guess, say more? What's obvious about it? Any particular post you'd point to as a "a wolf could never do X" thing or a "clear example of no TMI mindset" or w/e?
The interesting part is that maple has called me a wolf in the last 3 v/v games we played and or something and at some point doing literally 0 course correction starts feeling in bad faith. Like normally you'd think a person would go like "ok i misread that person every game maybe ill just kinda not try this time" but this guy really keeps doing it forever it seems.
idk maybe you just have a wolfy face?

There has been like no defensiveness in my actual reads. I'm just tired of always being wolfread on this site for things that are not actually wolfy
The reads the self are clean of it though

I wasnt aiming at anything specific or that specific category of his readslist or i would have directly adressed it (probably).
idk maybe you just have a wolfy face?

I want to yeet outside of:
1. dyachei- i don't get strong villa vibes but at the same time i don't get any wolf vibes. However, at least one(maybe several) person i think is a villa (sunbaebae) seems confident so that feels good enough for me and i can re-evaluate later if neccessary
2. Arctic- the treatise they wrote about insomnia when they could have instead just said "villagy but i disagree with their takes" makes me like them slightly. What makes me like them slightly more is that I had the same thought, but in seven words instead of 700
3. Didistetter- inno child
5. nebjiamn- could be anything but i cant kill someone on day 1 when all i do is sing there name in bob marley songs. "nebjammin...and i hope you like nebjammin too....."
6. Sunbae- I think despite him trying to just shitpost he still comes with several original thoughts on the game that make me think hes likely a villa
7. Raskolnikov- i dont remember what he wrote but i just thought that this guy fucks so i dont want to kill him. now that i think about it i might be conflating him with that guy in mu champs years ago that called everyone babydik and died for fake peeking a wolf correctly.
9. Jan- even if i thought jan was a wolf i'd kill all his wolfbros first because he's that charming.
15. Syn - that list he came out with vibes so much against what i would think as consensus that i think it comes mostly from villagers
17. Newcomb - i like the post where he pointed out the above about syn, though i secretly tinfoil/hope that syn is a wolf and newcomb is a powerwolfing prodigy
18. Maple- chortle factor
21. C0balt- i liked they pointed out something i didnt like, i think it was sheeps read on stett,
maybe ladd too
if you ask me for raisins and want more than "i feel it in my berrens" then dont ask
since my ipad is charging i decided to flesh out raisins for the above. once its charged im going to take a bunch of edibles and read litrpgs on my royal road app until i pass out.
ama
btw im genuinely just super happy to be here and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, becuz its like all of the players who I never get to play with on MU and I love playing with them all I have them all of here in one spot. only DoctorZeus kinda missing then it'd be perfect.
ur such a cutie patootie
I think I have a relatively decent self-assessment and yeah I tend to get drive-by wolfreads from people who don't know me a lot, because my village game apparently resembles some form of wolfgame that I don't have but people speculate I have, but I somewhat expect people who have a streak of exactly not-nailing it to maybe have some hesitation and let other people read a slot and not try their best at it for the umpteenth time in a row. At least that's how I do it.
Wisdom: re Syn. It's just he seems more prone to directly attack people here (ColonelLub, Jan) in his very special way (look the last one lol "looks at my poe
looks at this post
looks at my poe
looks at this post
surely it cannot be ") here, which I associate with his town game.
I feel it's different from last game where he was a woof (it's not impossible he tasked himself with changing his meta but I vibebe with it aorn).
Ladd posted something I missed though ("everyone currently passing the vibe check I think we should vote sleep
not to be confused with sheep") which is a bit odd like. would be very sadge if Syn is wolfing with sheep but lol. Just something to keep in mind for when one of them flips.

I'm not gonna make it a thing but I think your sunbae read is soft. From my POV Sunbae is an elite wolf and his best skill is being able to put out casual, reasonable sounding posts in his sleep.

I'm giving manti a daypass for the "first six words" post, that was slick
I don't really get the artic read. I mean I get the 'said something I thought = more likely village', sure. You're giving points for going all over explainy though? Why?

Dya still wolfy. The way she interacted with me and Ladd was super weird, and she hasn’t done basically anything solving wise, and her tone is pretty lifeless. 10/10 would kill.
Gonna wait and see on raskol, seems like they’re a well known player here, and we’ve never played together so I’m not gonna jump the gun on my read there. Think their read of me is silly but whatever. I get that Benneh is a strong player and people have the #fear.
Grr had a villagery post earlier (I think Ladd quoted it? I just remember he called me village and I liked the reasoning)
Ladd keeps pointing out posts I think are villagers so maybe I’m wrong there idk.
Jan feels wolfy to me. Vibes/tone/not having a read on me is weird, he almost always interacts with me/thinks I’m an easy read when he is a villager, seems off.
well he did say he thinks he should have a read on you but doesn't, i'm surprised you aren't giving him the benefit of the doubt for recognizing that lol. if he's a wolf and knows he should have a read on you couldn't he just make something up. maybe it's more genuine that he hasn't

I'm operating that all wolves are as washed as I am.
This game should be easy.
I mean its fine, if me being weird is the best mispush wolves can come up with they're really gonna struggle tomorrow. I'd just rather be actually pushed than merely be shaded.
gn for real it got way too late.

Jan makes those sorts of comments regularly. Keeping track of when he feels he should reads on people and when he shouldn't.
Or maybe he just talks about me in that way usually, who knows.

i might have just convinced myself to go on a wolf tunnel on knights, one second, checking something
fwiw im pretty sure maple is a villager too? this is the type of latch on i always find v towny
i strongly disagree
i think he is making a big deal over something that amounts to basically nothing
IH also made a decent point that he constantly misreads him but hasn't tried to course correct here, and also saw his wolfgame where he got outted immediately and doesn't seem to factor that in at all
on the whole i also just think maple's focus has been not good. i think it's easy for a wolf to focus on real time and point out logical inconsistencies but i don't really feel like maple is trying to solve the game or forming a worldview, just kinda nitpicking at random stuff (they were doing this earlier about something else and complaining about the wallposts)
I'm downgrading from "I'm just going to kill the slot" to "that was a weird post"
this is an improvement at least
translation: they have a "im too cool for this" attitude
thats the last way i expected anyone to describe me lmao

i might have just convinced myself to go on a wolf tunnel on knights, one second, checking something
GH/knights were both wolves in anni; i originally thought the post where he said "if this is GH then he's >rand a wolf because he had a similar opening in anniversary. I thought it was worded differently more like "GH had a wolfy opening in anni" and if that was the case i was going to call bullshit on that read but turns out thats not the case.
I think there might be something to him being a wolf with GH and trying to use that here as a villa that doesnt quite jive but i can't really articulate why I don't like it so im not gonna push it more, for now, in italics.
Wish I was a wolf so I could make "dabbing on the retirement home" comments in post
main things that stood out to me on catchup
- dya's point about ladd being town for.. pushing knights as hard as he was seems a little fake to me esp cuz he wasn't even going that hard lol. if anything the read that he wouldn't be going "this hard" as a wolf feels more likely to come from TMI on knights being town and the knowledge that it'd be a bad look, esp considering dya doesn't seem to even townread knights
- benneh's read on IH being a free villa find also seemed kinda fishy given what IH had actually posted at the time, and i don't really buy his explanation in #345 either. IH has a particular style of posting and tends to polarize himself early on and wolves are pretty prone to TMI'ing him because he makes a lot of introspective/tonally towny posts that wolves think are more villagery than villagers (who don't know his alignment) do. and like, i think there's a chance that's what happened here from benneh cuz he just.. wasn't villagery at least at the time of those posts. and IH isn't really a strategic wolf imo so i just disagree on the reasoning given and thats why i cant really buy the explanation
- that said i do think IH is town now (based on posts after this point, tbc) - mainly cuz i believe him being happy over this game (and he probably wouldn't be had he randed wolf in a super strong PL) and the explanation of sheeps/knight stuff. also unironically he probably would have just left the thread by now as wolf. he said he was gonna go a while ago but stayed which is towny by default but esp for people who don't like wolfing
- syn has now done some things differently to their last wolf game like posting a full read list and pushing on.. more than one person. but frankly this doesn't really seem like a great reason to townread someone because it's a pretty low bar, and i don't know if other non-alignment things were affecting last game's posting to cause a false-positive there and potentially a false-negative here. but still feels worth pointing out. the read list itself feels kind of insane. maybe too insane for a wolf. dunno. rask seems to agree and he caught syn last game, don't really have a read on rask rn either but how early the read came makes me feel like even if rask is a wolf it's more likely to be TMI on a villager rather than on a partner, so i'm fine sheeping it either way lol
- gemma is in a weird spot for me because somehow her posts feel more useless than the wolfgame she had where she at least attempted to make/explain reads to look towny. i'm not sure how to feel about this - did they just rand wolf again and don't give a fuck? or are they also just like this as town. will probably help if someone with more experience weighs in here
---
eh, i vaguely don't think wolf!dya pushes on benneh regardless of benneh's alignment. also think the reasoning "expected him to be more excited about playing a long game with sunbae" seems quirky enough to be a town thought
not confident here but my understanding of the dynamic between those two is that they'd always just pocket each other as wolf at least from seeing turbos lol. not sure benneh has enough pressure here to justify wolf!dya losing the chance to establish a rapport with benneh. my earlier gripe still stands but i think this is probably more significant - i remember wrongly scumreadnig dya for making an early overly generous townread last game so shrug
someone reminded me about the manti 6 word thing and i'll cede that it felt villagery at the time, but i still want to see some kind of worldview from them
i strongly disagree
i think he is making a big deal over something that amounts to basically nothing
IH also made a decent point that he constantly misreads him but hasn't tried to course correct here, and also saw his wolfgame where he got outted immediately and doesn't seem to factor that in at all
on the whole i also just think maple's focus has been not good. i think it's easy for a wolf to focus on real time and point out logical inconsistencies but i don't really feel like maple is trying to solve the game or forming a worldview, just kinda nitpicking at random stuff (they were doing this earlier about something else and complaining about the wallposts)
I'd agree with this; not the first bit - I think there's plenty of reasons for villagers to keep beating their heads against the wall even after misreading people. Villager doesn't mean rational or logical, it just means uninformed.
Pointing out logical inconsistencies is where I start to nod my head. Like yeah I can skim over manti's posts over the last few pages and rationally kinda get what he's getting at or picking at, even can picture v!manti getting hung up on it. But I do think there's kind of a performative aspect to it and it's kind of an easy route for a wolf to take.
main things that stood out to me on catchup
- dya's point about ladd being town for.. pushing knights as hard as he was seems a little fake to me esp cuz he wasn't even going that hard lol. if anything the read that he wouldn't be going "this hard" as a wolf feels more likely to come from TMI on knights being town and the knowledge that it'd be a bad look, esp considering dya doesn't seem to even townread knights
- benneh's read on IH being a free villa find also seemed kinda fishy given what IH had actually posted at the time, and i don't really buy his explanation in #345 either. IH has a particular style of posting and tends to polarize himself early on and wolves are pretty prone to TMI'ing him because he makes a lot of introspective/tonally towny posts that wolves think are more villagery than villagers (who don't know his alignment) do. and like, i think there's a chance that's what happened here from benneh cuz he just.. wasn't villagery at least at the time of those posts. and IH isn't really a strategic wolf imo so i just disagree on the reasoning given and thats why i cant really buy the explanation

ben and i dont typically pocket each other as wolves. not really anyway. we typically slowly sus each other or solve with each other (when v/v more often)
i might have just convinced myself to go on a wolf tunnel on knights, one second, checking something
GH/knights were both wolves in anni; i originally thought the post where he said "if this is GH then he's >rand a wolf because he had a similar opening in anniversary. I thought it was worded differently more like "GH had a wolfy opening in anni" and if that was the case i was going to call bullshit on that read but turns out thats not the case.
I think there might be something to him being a wolf with GH and trying to use that here as a villa that doesnt quite jive but i can't really articulate why I don't like it so im not gonna push it more, for now, in italics.
kinda towny idk

we agree it's an easy route but how likely do you think it is that is what's happening (versus him being town)

this is doing a lot of heavy lifting for your logic on the IH read given the post is less about his strategy and more about his inability to push on a player new to him like newcomb with any amount of sincerity. newcomb isn't katze (or insom or ladd) otherwise i probably wouldn't have made that read, but the dynamic there is and was decently out of his wolf range, particularly early d1 before any lines were drawn in the sand

I don't think he's actually done anything that puts him out of range, obviously, but you know how it is.
TIME FOR SOME HIPFIRE TRASH READS
I usually wait with sharing reads until I vibe hard enough or have found anything AI but let's do an experiment and just throw out the first thing that comes to mind on every player. I expect this to be terrible accuracy but hey maybe something is worth pursuing.
EnderWiggin -> Yeah I think he's probably town, good vibes in thread, doesn't remind me of his wolf games and I'm quite sure I've seen a few of them.
ColonelLubriderm -> Stop not being GH, I literally can't find you until you stop not being GH because every time you post I feel like I have to focus on reminding myself that you're not GH. I noted you as non w/w with someone but I'm not gonna check who. (I like you outside of that, Bop, just stop not being GH please)
Newcomb -> Feels like he's everyone's comfort blanket this game. He's my comfort blanket at least. Probably town.
didistetter -> Opening bugged me, good vibes in rest of post, but far from the super-stett I know and love. Null.
Jan -> Obv town, we should mason
Gemma -> Hi you were in my last game here so I'm sorry I haven't paid any attention to you
nebjiamn -> Mjeh no you tunneled me last game for having you in my PoE until I you got me yeeted (Despite me being obv!town), it feels like you haven't done much AI yet tho, but you haven't really been in my solve zone yet. I got pinged by your town read on me but meh.
theknightsofneeee -> People talk about you, you talk back, you've sadly not been in my focus yet.
ladd -> Vibes like town ladd? Not sure how to describe it. His town read on me felt more real than Benneh's.
dyachei -> You had a post that I liked earlier but I can't recall what it was about. Feels a bit UTR right now.
sheepsaysmeep -> Shrug
Sunbae -> Cute traitor
C0balt -> Is either wolf or misyeet bait, don't really want to go there today.
grr -> Also a bit UTR but I'm not sure if that's just because my solve zone hasn't handled everyone yet.
Raskolnikov -> Probably town and drunk
Maple -> Does Maple ever post anything AI d1? I'm not sure I've seen it.
insomnia -> Probably the one I've played with the most here and I still can't read you.
Arctic -> Someone said you sounded like a robot. I opened your ISO, noped, and then did other stuff.
Syn -> I don't like that I sus you when you seem happy. But my meta burned me last game so I'll just trust Rask's clear on you for the moment. Maybe one day I'll see what he sees.
Vanta Black -> Can't recall what you posted, sorry about that!
Just a spoiler to out those who only read their own name and then jumped to the spoiler
my only objection to this post is that rask is my comfort blanket (also didi tbh since they called me a badger)
this post is really odd lol

you're probably right, but i think it's funny how people that haven't really played with me or witnessed a wolfgame of mine first hand always say this

I can see why you'd say that but those are near 0-info lunches, I think we can do better.
hell at this point i'd 10000% kill sheep over either of them purely because I guarantee with a sheep redflip or even probably with a greenflip I can go over d1 and generate something strong from everything people have said about him, and that's with me having literally zero forethought right now what it would be

again, I can see it when it's a mash on MU because there are a lot of unknown elements and he gets pushed by randos for dumb shit all the time
This playerlist is not the same as a mash on MU. I would think he has a high chance of being v read here for his normal style with this particular player list (especially since there are people that know and read him well here). so it's wolfy because it might be explaining away a difference in playstyle for other reasons

Okay so I looked at dya’s ISO (some may be out of order because the iso’ing here is old school idk)
Prior to me calling out dya for not having reads she had given 3 reads, didistetter = v, Jan = v (which I disagreed with) and Ladd = v (also disagreed with at the time, maybe less so now)
So I think it was super fair for me to say you had been low content up to that point.
I do think you’ve done much more since and I align with most of dya’s reads atm except the Jan v read.
But I think the fact that you were so aghast at me wolf reading you feels a bit naïve/silly.
I do like how dya is pushing insomnia, I think that’s the most villagers thing she’s done by far, and she has been active/solved enough now that I can accept I was probably wrong and move on.
i think jan is just town. he's vibing this game, feels like
he also hasnt posted a bunch of gifs yet
yeah pretty sure stett just town. it's good because I like working with stett.
it's bad because these reads aren't really hot takes
v
Jan
Stett
I get that I'm not as verbose as others but I don't really feel like I'm on the periphery at all. Also I've been making reads and giving reasons but feels like people are just dismissing them because I don't really wall post
stett that's why i was bitching about it. i don't have any hot takes.
maybe it's a hot take I think ladd is v but its not a very strong take
I'm kind of worried about Ben because like his tone feels off. I also expected him to be more excited about playing a long game with sunbae
If sunbae is attempting to pocket me it's working
Like it just about explains how people treat me in games every time

sorry i cant be of more service
hmph, im sketchy on ladd, jan, and rask a bit so we should pow wow and see which of us is mistaken (it could easily be me!)
i really feel confident on rask but maybe I shouldnt!
ladd i think focused on things with knights i dont think he'd care about as a wolf
Jan is a vibe read
also someone asked me why im sketch on ender and its because there were multiple posts of theirs that i thought "this is how i would post about insertgoodplayerthatrandedvillager here if i were a wolf against them".
"i was sus of insom but page 6 hits different i dont agree with the reads i kinda like the posts".
"I feel like Newcomb gets voted pretty easily when he hasn't ~done much. I helped vote em out last game we played when I was wolf and they were town on D1. (Though it was a wild EOD to be fair.)
Can you talk to me about why Newcomb is there in your sus list? (To be clear I very much think Newcomb has done nothing I'd consider reading them on yet.)
both of those made me hmph in the way where its like tiptoeing around someone

i was too lazy to do the math on what page 6 would be since i'm on 40 or 35 or 62 posts per page or whatever, but my estimate was he was sussing inso earlier for his like, ~4 intro posts that were pretty ~whatever?
why specifically?
cause im a sucker for visible frustration about it feeling like quicksand and describing why its feeling like a bit of a rut where you cant really post in real time but also not really wanting to just sit back

Complicated.
Either the devil or the star.
I technically drew death, but didn't want to double up.
It was a mess and I might redo it later. Need to fake being busy for a little while.
Bold move to v read each other as partners right away.
Cobalt's pondering on Wisdom's insistence on Stett's opening makes me want to hurt cobalt, but I don't think that post comes from a wolf here. Maybe tickle him with a feather for a couple of hours.

can you explain your newcomb read?
They seem to be genuinely solving, thats really it
Skimmed mega hard last pages but i kinda liked some knights post, my insomnia and grrr v reads also a bit stronger
I prolly need to sit down when i wake up and raise the bar for being considered a villager already

Well formatting just lost all my multi quotes for my Jan iso RIP.
Just imagine a bunch of amazing supporting quotes thanks.
Just reread Jan’s iso
First 10 posts or so are just shitposting with the flavor of the game (for most would be NAI, but Jan is >rand village when he is shitposting IME)
But important caveat is there are a ton of people Jan knows pretty well in the game, which makes him faking shitposting easier.
Almost completely devoid of content until 15 posts or so in, says cobalt is unlikely to be a wolf but we should tickle them later for a post I think is pretty villagery for cobalt.
Questions a villa read on Gemma by stett
And then just drops a massive read list on the thread with almost no explanation for reads.
Classic wolf formula, and his tone being decent is the only thing that really gives me doubt on my wolf read here.
(On second thought, I think there is a decent chance if he was a wolf he would have pushed me earlier instead of just leaving me in null)
Not much to villa read, can people who are villa reading Jan please explain?

For me its like toan and meta, which i get is not helpful to you but has worked so far for me
If you want concrete stuff, i liked the evolution of his cobalt read and him snap calling ih/insomnia w/w but really its mostly just based on it feeling similar to last v/v games we played on here

I really should stop playing on phone why am I like this.
Apparently all but Monte has posted but it feels like I missed half the playerlist.
The way Ender solves through relaxing and vibing is something that I associate with his town game.
On the other side, Cobalt seems a bit stiff and forced. For some reason his post on this page, about him liking people talking about him, wasn't in his ISO (I'm going insane). It felt real though.
Rask... for some reason I expected him to be more hype than he's shown so far, but I know that he really didn't want to rand wolf this game and I'd think he'd put more effort into seeming solvy than he's done so he's probably town anyway.
I'm a bit worried about Syn's approach to the game but I think his "threadstate is pure" post shows a towny mindset. Raskolnikov I think you know why I'm worried, can you explain why you instantly locked him town?
Newcomb/Ladd is unlikely w/w and I feel like I agree with everything they say even when I don't. So, hopefully both are town and shouldn't be too hard to find them if they're alive wolves in later game.
Jan is still town. Retracting town leans on Sheep and Stett for the time being.
Unvote
this post stood out as towny because the thinking seems a bit.. weird / unusual to me at a glance. sorry if weird isn't the right word; I dont mean to imply anything negative at all. unorthodox. quirky. intriguing
The Rask read is like, a bit of a convoluted line of thought
"Newcomb/ladd is unlikely w/w" is just a contorted way to open a stance on those
the part about cobalt.. I was just like lol wat at first
the earlier Jan townread was also weird I never got it
I just think this is more what it looks like when there is a villager with a brain interestingly very different from mine, than it is when a wolf tries to craft reads
Also, there is something I buy about her "let's write the first thing that comes to mind about everyone!" post. none of the individual lines really moved me, but it just stands out as a genuine instance of a villager restless early-game / having loads of real thoughts about the game

instead you kinda talked around me in thread, and about me in a way that indicated you townread me but didnt want to offer a read on me.
that's kinda sure, fine, w/e. this is a game full of your old friends, i don't particularly expect interaction from anyone
buuuuuuuut the way you responded to reads on me while kinda noticeably avoiding reading me just *really* feels like your typical approach when you rand wolf lol.
don't wanna have to nk me, so avoid me and hope others do the dirty work

iirc you tr jan, and said somethin like he's being his typical towny self
ik a few other people have echoed this, but im curious:
what about his approach so far feels like: notably towny in a way you wouldn't expect from scum jan?
i think this has been one of the more thread consensusy reads im struggling to see so im curious to hear thoughts
he feels comfortable yeah—but comfortable and memeing is... extremely within jan's scum playbook?
is it more, you wouldnt wanna vote him d1?
or is there something there you think is actually town indicative?

Okay yeah fake GH being bop makes sense.
I'm less mad about it not being GH I guess; bop is a vibe in and of himself.
Although i'm not entirely sure if we've actually played together or not?
I feel like half the names on this playerlist I kinda know but don't really know if that makes sense
Might need like an interpreter or sherpa type person D1
maybe Sunbae?
Speaking of an interpreter, there is much that I don't understand in these first pages but "fake GH being bop makes sense" in fact does not make sense. Maybe later.

Hi stett!
Where did you see me play?
I am not a great scumhunter, and I don't think I have a typical approach. Kinda vibey, and I have had some good streaks where I identified scum but I'm not very persuasive at getting them voted. A lot of it is "gut feeling thisi player is town, will follow their vote," but I'm pretty strict about not voting my townreads no matter what.
Do not expect any walls from me. If I'm still here by D4 I will probably come up with a very outlandish theory to explain the game.

12. EnderWiggin
can you explain why you have ender so high?
8. ladd - gut pings but he did dislike basically the exact same things about TKON that I did
could you elaborate on what gut pings?
also my post on knights came after your push so i could have had nefarious intentions if you now think knights is a villager
20. Theknightsofneeee - unironically I think him making a mini deal out of "I have a decent chance to be elimmed today" and saying "im just struggling with this format" multiple times are kinda towny when I dont even think his situation was that bad and not really a self-defense approach that comes to mind for a wolf maybe
i think the struggling with format stuff is pretty squarely NAI, he coudl struggle with the format and still be a wolf
idk this turn around for these reasons given how much you hated his early posts seems a bit weird to me
if people want to ask for explanations or stuff there's a chance I do not want to blah blah
i'll try anyway
and if you had to guess if that even remotley stands a chance of hitting fur, what would you wager? ladd
prolly not bad by sheer PoE; i also think if 1 is a wolf the other is super likely to be one too
Gonna ask everyone to indulge me here and put a vote down on your top wolfread and give some insight into why that's your preferred kill.
Game is starting to get interesting, whoever said we need to kind of raise the bar of what's considered villagery is deffo right - a lot of my light v reads should really not be cutting it at this point.
But yeah this isn't super feeling like a clearly defined game on D1 where I can already see how it's gonna play out - i'm hoping we can get some good info out of this day and some concrete votes / reasons here around the midway point will go a long way.
if you're skeptical or don't want to, let me just say forcing wolves to take stances is the best thing we can do right now
I'll start.

I am busy until like -2/3 hours from eod so i'll see u then barring some pop ins
Knights is my preferred D1 right now. I don't have super high confidence it's a hit, as there hasn't been a smoking gun for me, plus their talk about their own elim did strike a decent chord with me.
However, they've done three classically wolf things IMO, and it's kinda that whole "once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action" type thing.
First, the awkward entrance. Pretty much every game has some version of this; a lot of wolves struggle to hit the ground with that kind of effortless casual v energy and many of them have that "rough approximation of it, but feels a little off" note.
nothing better than a villa rand on a new site.
<3 's to everyone i know, nice to meet you to everyone i don't.

basically feels like someone struggling to think of a good memey / casual V opener and just going for three of them that are unrelated.

Just reread Jan’s iso
First 10 posts or so are just shitposting with the flavor of the game (for most would be NAI, but Jan is >rand village when he is shitposting IME)
But important caveat is there are a ton of people Jan knows pretty well in the game, which makes him faking shitposting easier.
Almost completely devoid of content until 15 posts or so in, says cobalt is unlikely to be a wolf but we should tickle them later for a post I think is pretty villagery for cobalt.
Questions a villa read on Gemma by stett
And then just drops a massive read list on the thread with almost no explanation for reads.
Classic wolf formula, and his tone being decent is the only thing that really gives me doubt on my wolf read here.
(On second thought, I think there is a decent chance if he was a wolf he would have pushed me earlier instead of just leaving me in null)
Not much to villa read, can people who are villa reading Jan please explain?
This is what I'd call pretty classic IIoA - information instead of analysis. It's more a recap of Jan's thread actions / moves than it is a thought process or investigation into why Jan's doing what he's doing or what motivation might be there, or the way their posts hang together as a cohesive thread, or any of that stuff we generically call a solving mentality. It looks like work, but it's basically busywork.
okay lets go point by point
1) just talked about that
2) I disagree bop was more villagery, i think bop's game related stuff was pretty whatever, and my villa reads on both of them were purely tone/interaction based, and because the interactions were with each other, i put them in the same tier.
(i think benneh is more villagery now but thats besides the point.)
3) the timing of the read syn gave felt right in the thread, I remember agreeing with it as I read it and felt it was a villagery thought, but obviously if i have a villa read on bop by the time i'm putting pen to paper about the read, that will color how strong my read on syn is because I now think its a wolf read on a villager. Plus syn's read was literally just a one sentence read on page 2 or whatever, it would have never gotten more than light villa read anyways.
4) /shrug emoji/ oh well. I did actually end up reading them on my phone while in bed but they weren't worth another post and tbh i was falling asleep in my comp chair while writing the reads post so my brain was just too fried to process those.
I don't think any of these should be real sticking points in your mind tbh.
maybe the sheep one i guess, but me not giving a read on sheep is probably more villa indicative of me than anything else i've done, because i would absolutely have made something up there if I was a wolf because i knew people would expect me to have a read on sheep
Lastly we have this post to ladd defending himself from ladd's shade. This one is a pretty specific wolf archetype, a real Voxx special, called "yes I'm a wolf but your reasons are bad, now watch me defend myself and nothing else."
Defending oneself in a mafia game very often comes with a flavor of frustration, but it's a very, very unique flavor when it's a wolf and it has that subtle spice of knowing someone is right, but for the wrong reasons. I'm getting a small hint of that here but YMMV.
I'd call this about a 65% wolfread; better than a coinflip but not *much* better. Good enough to be my vote right now but I could certainly be convinced to go elsewhere by a good case.
Hint, hint.
sure

i am still most interested on knights/sheep alignment of all the players itg
I am busy until like -2/3 hours from eod so i'll see u then barring some pop ins
Yeah, I've been thinking about newcomb's question or prompt or whatever. And saying sheep is the simplest and most straight answer.
Which makes it annoying that you said so first, frankly.
I was considering spinning it around and instead talking about who I think might be villager, too.
Why am I awake
I dreamt that my IRL friends started playing a forum mafia game without me and I was so proud and hype
Waking up too early was doubly disappointing

can you explain why you have ender so high?
could you elaborate on what gut pings?
also my post on knights came after your push so i could have had nefarious intentions if you now think knights is a villager
i think the struggling with format stuff is pretty squarely NAI, he coudl struggle with the format and still be a wolf
idk this turn around for these reasons given how much you hated his early posts seems a bit weird to me
i'll try anyway
lol
I will address the bolded section quickly:
"also my post on knights came after your push so i could have had nefarious intentions if you now think knights is a villager" - I think it's more notable that you listed 4 things that pinged u from neee and I was like wow, this list actually really closely resembles things that were pinging me from neee. that is more notable than "you're pushing him at this certain time and he might be a villa."
that is the entire sole thing singlehandedly putting u above null prob. also that u prob read my really long post in response to Newcomb and then the next morning the entire game immediately handwaved it and moved on might actually be like +1 town point lol.
"i think the struggling with format stuff is pretty squarely NAI, he coudl struggle with the format and still be a wolf" - I guess like, this might be a read less suited for competent players, but my take is just that groaning about it out loud seems villagery (risking seeming overly self-defensive) compared to wolf instinct to like put your head down and prove yourself town other ways
"idk this turn around for these reasons given how much you hated his early posts seems a bit weird to me" - honestly like 18 people have described my dislike of neee as quite strong and I dont know what to make of it. it's weird. I would consider my feelings on neee like gut pings at best, barely even a scumread at its peak.
I might try to address the other things but honestly probably not
Wisdom
ik this is meant to be a hypeing people of post, but something doesnt quite sit right.
where do you see the bolded mentality at all? that kinda just feels like you conjured it up imo.
let it cook is a valid approach—and you say as much yourself. people need time and space to post more and develope reads
idk it kinda feels like you're being prickly over nothing here?
Yeah I got a bit mad at myself when doing the hipfire reads because of how hard it was to not shrug people off as "waiting for more content". Wrt "letting others solve the game" I'm sure I've seen like 3 people said something like that but I'm not gonna dig for it. Like you said, was just trying to bring some hype, content and confidence!

I've suddenly remembered my early townlean on sunbae that I had forgotten, which was for like, sunbae seemed to imply that he would be super laid back this game. but then he seemed to be able to not help himself giving pretty decent bursts of content. and I thought that breaking that "im gonna be lazy" self-imposed restriction tends to be town

I think ladd making multiple associative-y statements and having them kinda box me into being a good vote pings me a little bit. there's "sheep/knights would be good to solve an alignment in there" and then "sheep/ender could have a wolf and could be partners" and FMPOV it feels like that is a large majority of the background for voting me which I just feel is sussy idk
I think just like a broad "sheep flip gives information" statement that Newcomb made would actually ping me less

im looking at Gemma / maple / I still sorta have my eye on knights because I'm still catching up and I know he posted some more substantial ISO's that im really tryna get to / dya has sorta been trending down?? but ehh actually I dont think I would vote there
im also sorta procrastinating on this because I wouldnt really be able to talk about any of them, it's more just like gut vibes stuff the way and not a single person stands out that like I'd feel GOOd about d1'ing the way I have in most game

You are absolutely free to wolfread me but to clarify my stance:
- i think you/knights has a wolf mostly due to my individual read on both of you and how the early interaction played out
- i think you/ender (and atp maybe knights) have the highest chance of being lunched
- i personally do not have a read on ender but i did note both ender villa reading you strongly and you villreading ender strongly (his placement is the 1 taht stuck out to me the most in your list). So should 1 of you 2 be a wolf i think the other has good odds of being as well just on level 0

Things I thought about before falling asleep:

- Insomnia's want to survive d1 isn't necessarily town indicative but it sounded pure.
Immediate PoE right now is something like <Arctic, Dya, Sunbae, Vanta, Gemma, Bop, Maple, Mont, Knights> which probably contain 3-5 wolves but I don't have much confidence in <C0balt, Benneh, Insomnia, Syn, Sheep, Stett> being town either.

u asked about my Ender Wiggins townread
I am re-reading his catch-up to try to remember (note that I have read it in a self-centered ways both times).
I am just sorta pocketed by a very natural-looking progression on me. and also im looking at the timestamps his pace is pretty fast which I think is just +1 point if I like his progression lol
-> scumreads the exact same opening posts I scumread TKON for
-> calls me towny for also disliking knee
-> calls me locktown for explaining knee read by citing the exact same posts he used
-> defensive of sheep and slowly goes oh lol everyone found him scummy wtf
there was prob some other stuff but this mainly made me feel good
also I think someone made a comment calling his catch-up meta town and I was like oh really? and believed it and that confbiased him into like my upper tiers or whatever

"u" is ladd
Why should you have a read on me? I've made like two content posts and have been shitposting mostly
Ladd locked you in as a villager. Tells me that I should have some read on you or ladd is a wolf with tmi (or a villager showing reads at a wall).
I might not have played a ton of games recently but I have railed some from the shadows and like, idk, I feel like people expect <thing> out of dya that dya just doesn't ever really actually do and then when they don't see <thing> they just shadeshadeshade and then dya gets on the defensive a bit and then because dya has been shaded when they start dropping reads people just throw their hands up a bit and go "oh shucks im not sure what to make out of all this ill just focus elsewhere for a bit" and then they and their reads just kinda sit in their own untouched universe for a couple game days
and like, idk, i read dyas posts and they seem like an obvious villager and id like to try to prevent that from happening here?
I really like this post! I don't see what Sunbae sees but it's a town point for Sunbae and a good reminder that I tend to sus Dya d1 for this exact reason. I still don't see the obv!town stuff but I believe Sunbae seeing it.

This vote and justification for it i realllllly hate
I am trying to think why a villager would think it'd help them solve the game and i am coming up empty
Again super mega safe vote to make
(Click on my post to see quoted gemma posts)
becuz ur trying to see a connection where is none. I can see how you would potentially do but i just didnt so you're free to connect that observation to the specifics in jans reads list it just didnt happen in my head lol. i am townreading dya. i was town leaning sunbae.i dont really care about jans readslist i didnt think about it.
and that is why you are classified as a tier 3 citizen.
back to mines with you.
holy fuck I forgot about babydik, what an elite moment
I'm not gonna make it a thing but I think your sunbae read is soft. From my POV Sunbae is an elite wolf and his best skill is being able to put out casual, reasonable sounding posts in his sleep. Like literally nothing he's posted is remotely out of his wolfrange IMO. Granted i'm working with relatively old meta at this point.
I'm giving manti a daypass for the "first six words" post, that was slick
I don't really get the artic read. I mean I get the 'said something I thought = more likely village', sure. You're giving points for going all over explainy though? Why?
Noted wrt Sunbae! Still not someone I wanna yeet today.

knights did have a kind of awkward intro; whoever pointed that out, think it was rask or ender maybe, I vibe with it. didn't stick out like a sore thumb but on readback, the shoe fits for the token awkward thread entrance d1 wolf. Not a glass slipper, but at least a pair of crocs.

bus works better if you stick with it though :v
Bop specifically has quite a few posts whereof none gets him town points from me. Also saying stuff like "I might go into a knee tunnel" and "I'm basically inno child at this point" rubs me the wrong way. His town pile also smells of mold and fur.
Gemma is a fine wagon though, she's UTR and reminds me of last time I played with w!her

Thats something thats been on the back of my mind for a while

I would say the answer to this is yes rn btw to be clear, I think he and gemma are roughly equally solid choices and voted gemma just cuz I thought that wagon was smaller
please clear me if he flips scum
Ill clear until lets say d4
:curtain:
the knights problem is that he is tunneling me for a reason that makes a lot of sense to him.
I have called him an easy villa read a lot in the past year.
I normally either find him early or assume he is a wolf.
Me not interacting with him so far should be a red flag to him.
and that red flag turned into a tunnel.
The problem is that I did not catch on early to him in one of our recent games and am changing my approach.
(not sure if it was anni or the game before. but I remember having a bad soft clear on knights d1 in a game within the last 2-3 months)
Newcombs reasoning is fine.
The first point is mute because I am certain that it is how knights starts every game I remember.
knights into is normally
"something about randing villa
line saying hello"
the added line in the middle in a new forum is not out of character.
The 2nd point about knights read on me is fine.
I have trouble judging it because I know knights (if villa) is in a silly tunnel that just got half his quotes eaten and might take some shortcuts because of it.
Doesn't really excuse lack of analysis.
This all to say I see a fence. I sit on it.
The ender pushes that are kind of floating around leave me confused.
Ender had a burst of posts that were fine and did not ping me at all.
He said that he won't be back until after work today.
It feels more likely people didn't read/forgot about those posts and are pushing for "out of sight of mind" reasons and not for actual content.
I hate it because ender was pretty clear about his availability in his posts.
Pushing him for what he did and did not do while around is fine. Pushing without actual reasons feels like a cop-out. (I can't be asked to got back and check who exactly floated the name, but I read it several times while catching up).

Also someone somewhere in this thread asked people with townread on Jan to explain that tr. It's early but I thought the tarot readings were pretty relaxed and town-leaning. I have since seen some players say Jan is easily capable of faking that relaxed vibe and I guess I have to believe them, and also it's probably a dumb reason to tr someone. But there it is. (I have played 1 game with Jan, which is 1 more than I have played with most of you here.)
It took me until now to realize tkon is "the knights of neeee" and I hate it.

30 posts only so far. I might start shitposting soon!
the more interesting world is sheep/knights v/v and ladd is giga pocketing me btw
just putting it out there that that's a thought that's been rolling around back there.
ladd's said a truly remarkable number of things i've agreed with this game, including stuff that can't possibly have anything to do with alignment like the d1 vote stickiness thing, which I almost made a post about because i've noticed literally the exact same thing in my game as a kind of unconscious evolution of how people started reacting to me.
I don't say this to have any meaningful moving the needle on anything in the game right now or potentially ever, just to like, give myself a little potential postgame face-saving

idk feels like a vote a villager doesnt make (in fact i am p sure visor as a wolf pushed vanta d1 in this exact same way lmao)
idc about what visor did in another game lol i'm a) not visor b) not trying to get vanta yeeted
also that was vanta's first game here iirc and at that point they looked like an easy misyeet whereas now they're a slot that can easily clear themselves which invites completely different interactions
at what point in this game do i look like someone who is going to be a deciding factor in a yeet such that i would think doing absolutely nothing other than voting someone would lead to their receiving pressure or votes and what about a naked vote and ping at vanta ever comes across as meaningfully pushing the slot idk what angle u think i would even be playing there as a wolf
hey newcomb, im here for a bit, wanna bounce stuff back and forth?
I've got a strong town read on maple for the "the first six words of each paragraph makes me think wolf" post (a type of observation that makes me think they are actually thinking about posts and what they mean) and for the sequence of being so stuck on that interaction and not really letting go despite nobody really chiming in (a type of thing that makes me think they care about what they are saying). However I've gotten brushback saying specifically the second point is a big disagreement. Now, this type of read is one that I've been burned on before (though like, i do make it a lot so obviously blah blah probabilistic game means it's gonna be wrong sometimes when i use it a lot) but I'd like to see if you agree with me or the detractor(s?)
love to, but it's 1 AM here and i'm fading pretty fast. catch me tomorrow, or leave me some stuff to ponder and i'll think about it in the morning
meant to quote this one so grab my post above this as well
I have a town read on neb because he hasn't really being doing anything that looks like he is positioning himself for the future. He's not making any strong wolf reads to look good later, he's not pocketing people, he's not making sure he's noticed and getting credit for correct statements or preparing anything negative to bring on someone for their incorrect statement. Just kind of sitting here doing his own thing and whenever I catch wolf neb it's because I can see him doing that type of thing you know?
also that was vanta's first game here iirc and at that point they looked like an easy misyeet whereas now they're a slot that can easily clear themselves which invites completely different interactions
can you explain this?
What changed? Why do you think vanta can easily clear themself? I disagree strongly based on the last game.

It was first the tarot readings, then some content. Vibes. It seemed natural. Whereas Col.Lubr. looked like trying for relaxed, and then if there was content I missed it.
Also you can't really say "tarot readings had nothing to do with the game" in a game called Tarot Mafia.

I think Dya is a pretty obvious villager for reasons of "I read their posts and idk, seems like an obvious villager???" and like, yeah I understand people disagree or w/e and I don't blame them because it's the type of read I can't ever articulate and whenever I try to people just act like I'm making no sense but it seems obvious to me. You asked me for specific posts and I don't have them but just like, go read their posts and ask if they are solving the game or not. And if the things they choose to talk about are based on positioning/looking good/faking reads or based on whatever comes to their mind in the moment.

ok I lied but after this post i'm going to bed for real
hypocricy alert I rambled a bit in a way that very likely gave more words than nessicary to a not complicated idea so if you don't want that feel free to skip it; if I end up caring about it tomorrow I'll edit it to be reader-friendly
this is kind of an odd one insofar as I agree with you that the concept / archtype in general is more villa indicative than not. But in this specific case when it's applied to this series of posts and one of them being manti it kind of goes the other way for me. A big part of that is my somewhat murky understanding of manti as a player and how manti tries to avoid suspicion as a wolf; my general conception is that manti kinda knows most of the time that he's not going to endgame or gets a good sense of what kind of strategic role he can play for any given wolfteam from the jump and has the ability to lean into it. I guess it like - fits a mental map of a chess movie w!manti might make to get ahead of the coming 'it's d3 manti's doing manti stuff guess we go here now' type situation.
Also also, the actual stuff he was pushing on, while like - on a visceral level I get because just the way grrr writes stuff is kind of hard to parse sometimes, so I get it in that sense. But it's also.... easy target, kind of?
Take for example Vanta Black's post they just made to me responding to my question about Jan's tarot thing. You see how I *could* just like. Make that a thing. Tear into it. Push and push. I was making a point about alignment indictive things and tarot and they pivoted to the name of the game / flavor which isn't what I was getting at at all, they didn't truly in a good faith way try to grasp where I was coming from with my question. Like I *could* spin that, I know I could.
But I know what I was trying to get out of them and I can tell they're either not willing or not able to give it to me at least not right now, so I just... let it go
Granted manti's thing was more about actual like. Comprehension. Ships passing in the night type shit. But part of me thinks it's somewhat likely villager manti has a self-reflective moment somewhere in there and steps back or away a little more proactively. Like manti would kind of already know what he was trying to get out of that conversation and bail.
anyway that's the half-asleep thought ramble

A big part of that is my somewhat murky understanding of manti as a player and how manti tries to avoid suspicion as a wolf; my general conception is that manti kinda knows most of the time that he's not going to endgame or gets a good sense of what kind of strategic role he can play for any given wolfteam from the jump and has the ability to lean into it. I guess it like - fits a mental map of a chess movie w!manti might make to get ahead of the coming 'it's d3 manti's doing manti stuff guess we go here now' type situation.
Also also, the actual stuff he was pushing on, while like - on a visceral level I get because just the way grrr writes stuff is kind of hard to parse sometimes, so I get it in that sense. But it's also.... easy target, kind of?
Take for example Vanta Black's post they just made to me responding to my question about Jan's tarot thing. You see how I *could* just like. Make that a thing. Tear into it. Push and push. I was making a point about alignment indictive things and tarot and they pivoted to the name of the game / flavor which isn't what I was getting at at all, they didn't truly in a good faith way try to grasp where I was coming from with my question. Like I *could* spin that, I know I could.
But I know what I was trying to get out of them and I can tell they're either not willing or not able to give it to me at least not right now, so I just... let it go
Granted manti's thing was more about actual like. Comprehension. Ships passing in the night type shit. But part of me thinks it's somewhat likely villager manti has a self-reflective moment somewhere in there and steps back or away a little more proactively. Like manti would kind of already know what he was trying to get out of that conversation and bail.
anyway that's the half-asleep thought ramble
Thank you, this is me acknowledging the response but I need to chew on it a bit. Make some valid points and I do have a habit of getting got by manti specifically
The ender pushes that are kind of floating around leave me confused.
Ender had a burst of posts that were fine and did not ping me at all.
He said that he won't be back until after work today.
It feels more likely people didn't read/forgot about those posts and are pushing for "out of sight of mind" reasons and not for actual content.
I hate it because ender was pretty clear about his availability in his posts.
Pushing him for what he did and did not do while around is fine. Pushing without actual reasons feels like a cop-out. (I can't be asked to got back and check who exactly floated the name, but I read it several times while catching up).
I had specific posts in mind when I expressed my concern, what are you thoughts on them? Think I'm reaching or more of a "generally fine idea just not for Ender here"?
Lets try something slightly different
vote:gemma
This read is like completely lacking of any sort of spice, idk if u could make a safer readlist
This vote and justification for it i realllllly hate
I am trying to think why a villager would think it'd help them solve the game and i am coming up empty
Again super mega safe vote to make
(Click on my post to see quoted gemma posts)
bruh

the newcomb post was kinda eeh
is the only thing for me
It took me until now to realize tkon is "the knights of neeee" and I hate it.
Goes into the same junk pile as ymmv.
Least sexy acronym used by people with poor taste. I get being lazy but at least try to look cute.
On a related note. still waiting for a cat pic, ben. might policy vote there if that does not change
30 posts only so far. I might start shitposting soon!
tkon is pretty bad but your mileage may vary just takes so long to type its so unnecessary
I mean I get vibes and I get not getting too deep into the weeds but like.
The tarot readings had literally nothing to do with the game. what could possibly be alignment indicative about them?
what exactly did you think when you read them, like what was the thought process? What motivations or scenarios or angles did you consider? If it was purely, purely gut, then what about the tarot thing specifically vs any other casual / relaxed thing anyone said made you perk up?
I'm not trying to harp on you but imma be real, you are like 90% likely to die to town KP this game at this point, just on like. relative towniness. If you're villa here it's going to require some kind of like, shining moment where I see into your soul that you don't have TMI to get me to carry any water for you. Which i'd very much like to do if you're villa and we can not waste a vote or shot on your slot.
vanta's sort of newbtown vibes imo, you can basically lock clear them off lvl 1 stuff shot would be wasted

Sup, gonna be out for most of the day (will follow on phone as time allows) but two things that popped overnight:
- sunbae is typically in wolf meta, and his readlist just seemed too consensual, kinda sorted by expected ww competence (idk how to word it but thats a feeling I got). The thought on Ender could be real but I am noy convinced rn. May be a skill issue on my side, time will tell.
Second stuff about Maple: arctic may have a point but I dont think i have seen him wolfed so I am not sure its actually valid. What gave me some ping is how their interest vanished (specifically after Bennehs post calling them a Grrr ww). Not sure I am buying such a rollercoaster in pressure strenght. (Felt like"oops, I may be drawing too much attention to myself).
Food for thought.
I WILL be around 2 hours before EOD to game.
Final words: lol gemma (u cant wr me for the love of jebus. Be real or actually case me)
can you explain this?
What changed? Why do you think vanta can easily clear themself? I disagree strongly based on the last game.
wdym what changed? was last game the one where they were v? i forgot they got yeeted tbh, i just remember them being omega obvious town, i mean you can't really stop village from yeeting obvious villagers as the game goes on but as slots go vanta is overwhelmingly more clearable than someone like cobalt imo
