Talk to me about manti

And I'd appreciate more on Dolby because I really don't see what you're seeing there

I don't really have an issue with Maple's posts atm. I saw your one point about the whole "forget how to villager" post he made sounding off, but at the same time I feel like Maple knowingly tried to have the post give that impression regardless of his alignment, if that makes sense. Basically reading into it is playing the leveling game imo, and I don't think he's town or mafia-told yet so far.

As for Dolby, I don't really have much more than what I already said. Thought his one early post re: Esooa was bad, I called it out, explained it there. He hasn't said anything new since I last elaborated on the matter (last night US time). His other posts have been decent, yeah, but his take on me was just a bit too surface-level and low-reaching for my liking. Like of course the team mafia game was gonna be the go-to comparison for any shade on me because it literally just finished, but there wasn't any real elaboration nor do I think Dolby actually tried to delve into my behavior deeper than just trying to score a quick point.

nor do i expect him to

but his pushes so far are kinda:stare:

i think “opening with questionable pushes instead of easing in” is about where the similarities end but his follow ups have a better feel to them

I wasn't the one who made the post you're referring to w/r/t manti

I made a post about him but it was something else

I

guess your stuff on dolby is fine? As in, your process is fine

I still disagree with it and think the way he handled it was villagery though, with the caveat that I haven't seen dolby wolf before so if there's a meta telling aspect to it then idk

It's kind of like he's trying to put a different spin to what he was doing in rocks inv while doing the same thing

Ah, right, it was this one.

Again, levels. Still doesn't do much for me at this time really.

---

It wasn't, the things I wrote after were what's weird, that's about it, just order weird. I don't really have a read on GH.

Colonel feels alright. Their reads are spicier than most and they articulate them well. There's also more of them than necessary at this point.

Dya just feels like a low energy wolf. I think it's fairly easy to this read and without meta.

i'm not sure. I wish I could stay up late like other people but I can't

I just came out of a high energy game. I'm just low energy in general

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

visor’s interactions with amy felt off

particularly the v read on amy felt undeserved given i don’t think amy’s entrance was villagery at all and i don’t get how visor got there. as i was reading it felt like he was building up to a wolf read but then decided to reverse course once amy v read him. makes me feel like he wanted to throw shade on amy but then decided to go for a pocket instead once he saw amy was the only person v reading him so far

it reminds me of something he said in rocks inv about how newcomb v read lissa and amy early because they’re the kind of villagers you wanna get in on the ground floor with as a wolf. something like that they tend to make themselves obv as villagers and are easy pockets so if you v read them early you can pocket them and not lose much since they probably won’t get mislimed anyway (or that’s how i understood it at least)

buuuuut i also didn’t like amy’s posts either and am not sure they make sense as w/w. if they’re v/v i never made this post

I think this is a good take.

I don't think either of them posted well enough to have townreads slapped on them at that point, and Visor (at least I think it's Visor? I could be equating him with someone else) has been notably good at slapping people down from reading him too early in the past before. So I think his Steamed Hams response (the long vertical pic) to Amy's townread of him tracked with that, but then he just... kind of backed off and finished the meme, rather than explore it further. A little weird of Amy to put down that read at that point, a little weird of Visor to respond to it/finish off the conversation in that way.

I wish it had happened something like 12-24 hours later than it actually did because then the lingering caveat of "well, game's still early" could have been removed, but it'll be something to watch for sure.

Neither do I, really. :juggle2: I guess levels as in Maple is probably doing A Bit regardless of his alignment. That's just what it feels like, anyway. He's one of the more self-aware players I've encountered and I think this is part of whatever act he's putting on in this game.

This isn't really a post abou Dya, but them mentioning the word flow got me thinking about GH's read on Eph. The thing is that Eph's posts feel good enough for me to put him in town, but there's also GH's case, which is fairly compelling. And flow is what possibly makes Eph scum. He's only reacting to the flow, asking questions and such and I haven't seen any conclusions or independent solving from him. He's active but I lack posts, in which he would go back and evaluate players. That kinda removes him from my town.
