so in this game specifically then you'd be more likely to "play the hero" on D1, perhaps D2, but as the game went on and you were consistently wrong you would follow along more.Quote:

I do tend to notice a lot more things than I actually talk about so I'm glad you think I've gotten your wolf meta fairly accurately.Quote:

i would say that's close to accurate, yesQuote:

i think it was just because it was rvs and you had voted katze, so putting another vote on her would be a wagon. i'm used to a style of play where more often people vote early and move their votes around a lot
what i am doing is declaring myself an obvious villager and you a wolf for claiming that i am notQuote:

no, i'm making a stand because i think the way you're playing right now is scummy and i'm trying to pin you to the wall for it. you can hardly give a straight answer for any of the things you are saying.Quote:

you think im scummy for not townreading you
lol.
lmao.
rofl, even
you have fun with that, i'll figure out later if i care
i think your words do not come from a legitimate place of inquiry and your justifications for your reasoning are incredibly poor. i do not think you are trying to solve. i think you are trying to give the appearance of doing things without actually doing anything because your goal is to not get voted.
like what were all those questions for me earlier supposed to be? did any of it actually matter to you? did you care about the answers or were you looking to fill airspace?
okay well. if i were mafia i'd absolutely have an easier time pushing HK today after yesterday, but whatever
on the off chance you're just wilding out as a villager then get off your fucking high horse
otherwise carry on, you brought me to F3 for a reason
i asked lylo questions that i've seen work pretty well in the pastQuote:

Thanks, I appreciate it. Like I told Katze I'll come back to these "weird questions" as soon as I have something I think is legit worth talking about.Quote:

"if i were mafia" arguments of this type are unpersuasive to me. they are easily manipulated and there are any number of psyhological factors that could be in play as to why you would not want to push hk as mafia. maybe you think you can justify fosing me easier. maybe you are worried about taking on hk and see me as an easier push. maybe you believ by not giving me validation i would work harder to try to get you on my side. i have seen it a lot. so color me unconvinced by this.Quote:

what are you doing right now, what is your headspace, how are you attempting to figure out who is mafia? where is something, anything, that should give me reason to believe you are not mafia?
i am like, 7 pages of the way into dragonvale but it is hard for me to get a ton out of it. generally i look for patterns in play, responses to pressure and partner interactions but obviously not a lot of that last one to go offQuote:

because i can very much just as easily play the card that I would not have pushed hollowkatt to open the day when you had seemingly stood by your townread if him from yesterday
oh, i did read the endgame of dragonvale as a comparison check to how you have played here. a bunch of busywork wallposts to open the day, some arguments about why you were town, and then kind of hanging back and playing it safe while waiting for one of the town to make the first misstepQuote:

i don't believe you're "smacking down" my points at all... i think your interactions with ender can easily be w/w, you disagree. okay, i'm not going to lay it all out. it's not going to convince you that you're a wolf if you're not one and if you are one then you're just going to say "how is that ever aligned" anyway. there's no fucking point. i've already said... three times now? that i'll evaluate your interactions with ladd closer. because i do believe that, if there is anything i can glean from dead wolves that can help me find you, it is that.Quote:

what i am doing right now is being here. not very much more. i'm here because i have the game stuck on my mind. i'd love to just go back to playing video games but alas. i don't really have that much motivation to Do Much right now. so i'm not forcing myself to. i'm engaging with you on the off chance you are a villager because i don't want to throw the game because i'm petty. i've spent most of this day phase trying to figure who the imposter among us is, i've reread the entirety of your D1 and D2 ISOs and asked questions i thought would give me the most AI answers. i'm engaging with the thread because i read players largely off of realtiming and vibes.
i'll answer the last question with the next post because they're tangentially related anyway
why am i town? because my rolecard says so! badum-tssQuote:

as hollowkatt said i'm very much so a people pleaser as mafia. although i've honestly grown to be more of one as town too, because i believe strongly in town cohesion and stopping arguments i believe are v/v. (im not saying i cant get into stupid arguments such as this one, because i'm also prone to those. i'd likely be trying harder to)
i'm also pretty cheeky as wolf and like making those "hehe" jokes i can point back to in postgame and say "lol, lmao" and love subtly openwolfing but that's. probably not something that reading my iso during a game can really get you to very often. especially with how often i make stupid jokes as town too.
oh and i also also make a lot of wifomy kills. i think w!me would very likely kill hollowkatt and say it's a framing job or something. in DV i shot a PoEish player N2 just because they were tunneling me. i also killed illario going into LyLo which was the most blatant kill that led to me by a significant margin
what i don't do as mafia is shoot myself in the foot constantly. i don't defend wolves who are dead in the water. i don't constantly say how much i dislike the prospect of the current wagon formations if they're literally all villagers... if town is doing my work for me then i'll fucking let them. especially if i can tell from early on in the game that i'm going to be playing for the long haul, and looking at the dead wolves, i think that was evident by N1 at the latest.
how i would likely play this F3 is take the path that's easier for me. after F5, that path is very likely pushing hollowkatt over you because cape died screaming you're always town and that he's probably the wolf. several villagers have died with you as a very strong townread. i could flat out just quote newcomb and say "lol bye HK" and get away with it. you were appealing to me in a way that i could have very easily pocketed you. i'm not quite sure if i kill dobby over you either but that's a hard perspective to actually think about.
but i'm not really appeasing to anyone. i'm not taking the "easy" path. i'm not doing any of that. i'm responding to you because i'm tired of dealing with you right now. i don't really want to be an ass so i'll leave it at that.
also because at first i thought you were trying to roleplay as illario during MyLo in DV and i kiiiiinda thought it was a bit over the top for a wolf trying to get a gotcha, but you made it clear it wasn't that so shrug.
the difference is that me and HK have been townreading eachother and you have to push one of usQuote:

you've swapped over to pushing me while i've given the impression that i think it's you more confidently than i did earlier
except that if you're the wolf you brought me because you could sus me without being questioned too much about it given that you've been tangentially associating me with the wolf team for the last game day or so even as you voted cape yesterday.Quote:

Basically in Sleep wolf world I'm the mistake you're trying to get across the line and in Katze wolf worlds you're the mistake and I'm the patsy

Katze posting two above this one gives me something to think about.
I think Katze is right that wolf?Sleep can't afford to kill me and take Dobby/Katze. They can't afford to kill Katze and take Me/Dobby. They have to kill Dobby last night and go with Me/Katze.
Katze on the other hand could have killed Dobby to take Me/Sleep where I'm the pocketed one and Sleep is the victim.
But Alternately they could have killed Sleep and taken Me/Dobby where Dobby is then forced to re-evaluate whether or not I'm more or less town than Katze is.
I miss Raskol, he'd know what to do.
There also is this post from Dobby, his last one of any real content before the end of the day
where he clearly says he'd go Katze next.Quote:

There's also this post from Cape:

cape also says here 2973 that if F3 contains Sleep that the other two should cross vote.
Cape is also quoting a dobby post that I talk about next:
Dobby otoh was pretty convinced I make F3 but am town (which is why dobby is dead tbh), that Katze looks decent off the backs of digging into people in what looks like genuine ways, and has ender interactions where it reads like ender is trying to pocket katze with focus on persuading katze of stuff in situations that don't make sense for a w/w pairing.
He also says that his re-read of D1 had some pro-Sleep points but that he's been the most lenient against Sleep and if F3 contains the two of them it's the Sleep ISO that would get the deepest dive, but not until then.
I told you I bullied people in my F(x) wolf winsQuote:

Knowing that one of Sleep/Katze is a partner of Enders.... ugh this is fucking hard ok.
I know that one of the two of you is the last wolf. Katze spent the first part of the day being kinda hands off and meh and letting Sleep do most of the talking. Sleep spent his time focusing on me and didn't really shift attention to Katze till I countered his arguments with things that made him "shook".
So was Sleep anticipating my lackadaisical play during most days leading up to today remaining the same? Or is Sleep the townie who was cocksure it was HK and now that I've fought back he's re-evaluating his worlds?
Or is it Katze who I've been consistently town reading, except for like a day, who's counting on me remaining pocketed and chopping Sleep for the win.
I think though that the things we could "normally" rely on in F3 aren't here to rely on. Votes aren't locked, there's no jockeying for position, no trying to force the wolfiest person to vote first. None of that is available here. We're stuck doing this for 48 hours and minds (and votes) can be changed literally at 47:59 without any penalty.
Because of that nobody is feeling pressured to either get it right or get someone to be wrong. I mean there's still the whole "win or lose" pressure but there's not the voting dance that happens with locked votes.
We've used 24ish hours already, have approximately 24ish hours remain. Of those I plan to sleep for 8-10 of them. So really I've got 14-16 game hours left to make a decision on where I'm landing.
I still don't see a compelling reason to vote for Katze. I am still reading D1/D2, as well as doing some spot checking, and I still have to write my thoughts on the two questions I asked both of you earlier. I'll get to that tonight still.
Sometimes I like to push back from the desk, put my feet up, close my eyes and just have a think about the game. Put away the posts and vibe with my feelings. It doesn't often give me a solve but it does allow me to clear my head of my overly busy thoughts and let me try to put things into a different perspective.
I have some thoughts percolating on the concept of Town Sleep coming into F3 being so convinced I'm the last wolf after helping me chop Cape yesterday but they're not fully formed.
thought about the game in the shower ama
and by that i mean i remembered this post
and im thinking sleep is weirdly fine with trying to shut me down on finding a reason to be v reading capeQuote:

and there's this thing that happens in mafia games sometimes, don't know if you've ever experienced it, but sometimes you get deep in an argument with someone and you're flinging crap at them and going all out and then you just get this feeling that you're wrong and the other person might be town after all and that they believe all the things they are saying and that's what happened with you
uhh speak for yourself on that account because i have been feeling incredibly pressuredQuote:
