Uhhh two balls of lint, a spare button, and a paper clip
Haven't fully read all of today yet but I posted a proposed set of world yday. Annika dying is certainly a thing but doesn't affect that overmuch.

Bruh I was up till 4am last night but the worst thing is I somehow have mask by dream stuck in my head I don't even know how that happened someone just kill me
No you weren't roleblocked.
I'm just trying to decide how much it even matters, especially with how visor's handeled his "track results"
i dont love that i linked a capage game, ender quoted it, and then dya posted 1269. I don't need everyone to have read everything but like... It was less than 20 posts ago, so it rlly does feel like they're just not caring. Idk if sloppiness is wolfiness though, they have clearly had time/irl stuff in play.
@EnderWiggin i'll talk to you about ben later. I need to figure out how to actually verbalize my concerns. Tonights task (for me) is to go through ladd/dya/lissa/ben/waza and unpack their approached to the game/my thots and concerns.
@Maple i rlly rlly need you to talk about anyone other than Taffy. I do not care if taffy is 3p today. I need ur inner Moze so i don't have to be worried this is bitch3
I don't have time to reread every post and I'm skimming when I'm feeding the kids and such. so like I guess get over it? not everyone has the time to be as involved as everyone else and I feel like I've made it clear. I'm trying to play catch up today and solve things and like I'm allowed to have paranoia of different players because I think i've been clearing them too easily.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I get that you don't know how to read me that well but do you really think I would kill the person I've been trying to elim in game days every night after pushing them? does that really seem that plausible?
I think it's worth wasting a post to say f*** the multiquote function here
Yeah thinking it over some, the Annika kill amplifies my concerns about benneh here. It maintains the status quo and removes someone who was fairly unlikely to go over. I'm guessing nl got a "no where" result on someone who isnt particularly helpful getting that sorta result on.
My money is on he tracked lissa.
So not particularly help, but not literally meowted either, in either case.
Thinking I was right about dya and waza wolves being fairly implausible. Think dya has posted well today and has been fine most days.
vote: ladd
but no
this still feels right
im having a lot of troubles putting it to words, it just feels right that ladd would be a wolf here lol
between how d1 went down and just a general *lacking*ness. meow meow this isnt convincing at al i know but hopefully i get a second wind and can actually put the pen to paper
i think it *makes sense* that you would be sus of me, particularly the uh chronology of my eod yesterday
its just unfortunate timing, ultimately, but the rushedness and me trying to push into the game when it was sorta inevitable seem like things you wouldnt like
shrug im sorta posting like dogshit here and i recognize that
idk i need to sleep for 13 hours then maybe i'll be good to go
stett, just ftr, i think you'd have a lot easier time finding me if you just worked with me rather than holding a blanket concern about tinfoil worlds and talking around me like you have basically since slightly after SOD1. you're trying to solve me based off of how the game has flown but you have a good grasp on how i play the game philosophically and via interacting with me so i wish you'd do that
noting this could probably apply to several players that i am reading, so its not a shot at you and the appeal itself is obvious nai, i don't expect you to read this and be like "wow ok concerns dropped!" but i feel like you know how i town and how i wolf and you are just worried cause i'm a good wolf sometimes. but its pretty frustrating you have been playing around me all game cause you're worried i'm pocketing you when
idk i'd implore you to look at eod1 tbh. i was trying to parrot you and/or annika about killing ladd or maple day 1 and then we all ended up on rask. how likely is it you think ladd/maple has 0 wolves? if its highly likely then feel free to continue sussing me ig, but that's not how i see the worlds right now? and there's a different scenario day 1 where instead of landing on a shrugyeet of a wolf, you/me/annika all work together and hit on one of them who is a wolf. if i'm a 3rd wolf in that potential pairing what the fuck am i doing and how do you process that vs what you know about how i wolf lol
(ftr i know you're not super super concerned so this is LESS about you needing to lock town me and MORE about you playing the game with me. its kinda what i signed up for homie)
good lord i have misinterpreted the latter half of this role almost all game, i read it as "if you target a villager with strapped bomb you kill them" not that you janitor their roleQuote:
Each night, target a player (you may self-target). If they are the same alignment as you, defuse any bombs strapped to them. You are told when you successfully defuse a bomb. If you target a villager with a bomb strapped to them on the night they die, only their alignment will be shown when they flip.
uhhhhhhhhhh
fuck me lol
what the fuck is the point of a hyper specific town role janitor if the roles are:
2x town redirect
1x tracker inventor which can be easily confirmed??????
1x town arsonist/bomb strapper
uh, i guess this may lend credence to the idea that someone couldn't be a tracker and was FPSing if they got a track off in thread and then died over night as just Town
but the realities of this happening seem way to specific for general game design lol
@didistetter @ladd @Lissa @Maple @dyachei @Visor
did you all correctly read the latter half of this, actually?
are we sure taffy has to be a village with this implementation?
if the tracks are real (well, we know tracks are real) -- why couldn't taffy be a mafia arsonist who sometimes can choose to target mafia for purposes of tracking since a wolf teammate would have ways to remove those douses on a future night?
before anyone suggests this is another gotcha moment, i am just spitballing cause i obviously fucked up the interpretation of that role
but taffy being a misclear off shoddy mechanics would somewhat make sense of the POE which otherwise seems hard to pair down
the only reason i thought that role was entirely clearing of being mafia was because i took rask's role to be a way for mafia to have gated KP (e.g. they could ignite a town/3p douse, which kinda served as the 'anti-claim' that taffy was talking about)
but since mafia don't actually ignite the town, why can't this just be part of their role set?
brother ive been calling taffy meowted for a hot minute
and yes, i was aware that it's a jani
actually that would explain a post you made
I don't think this is fair? I can remember a lot more of Visor's pushes/reads than of yours, at any rate. If anything I'd say he's being more communicative than I'm used to, and you are less so.
I honestly don't think either is AI since you're both good at both alignments and your activity is probably more influenced by real life / available time than by anything else.
Maybe this is another case like that time with Baudib where I just couldn't see what you were talking about but please make a more fleshed out read on Visor. For example, he made pushes on both Arctic (flipped town) and Stett (your top townread) D1, I'd like you to look at those and comment on his reasoning there. Look at Visor's posts yesterday before and after my claim, before and after Benneh thought he'd caught Arctic in a lie, does he seem like he had tmi anywhere? Or, have a chat with him bc I remember you saying that's how you read people best.
Don't just shrug-poe ppl that's how we'd lose.
Taffy (3)
well speaking generally, it'd be a big dum dum move for wanting to kill her so hard on day 2 if she's only ever 'not town' aka 'only has 3p equity' with 2 wolves alive and your infatuation with that resolving that as if its a priority world is one of the more wolfy things about you
And in a similar vein I'd like you to look closer at Dyachei. "Ladd says town bc meta on one post" is perfectly fine for D1, but they've done stuff, we've had flips, tell me why they're town from how they treated Arctic/Annika/Sunbae.
The two of you are expressing almost diametrically opposed views on Visor's play this game and you're not talking to eachother about it, this is bothering me.
Taffy (4)
I don't need details per se but can you make clear to me whether you mean "it's more likely that Maple and Ender are paired now" or "Maple and Ender are more likely to be wolves" or entirely the opposite.
It's probably just a language barrier but I don't know what you mean from your sentence.
Taffy (5)
I was actually just going to thank your post and move on, but could you look at and compare Visor/Ladd/Dyachei/Stett's footprints for me? I know this is a lot of work so no worries if you don't have time - just in case ppl decide to kill you today and you're wondering what legacy would be most useful, for me it's this.
Taffy (6)
Yes i read it correctly
Yes i still dont see how taffy is a wolf, since 1)why d u need to be notifies if yiu successfully defuse a bomb if the bomber is same alignment and yiu and 2) i dont see the point of making such a complex combo just to janitor
I dont believe a word manti is saying (and like benneh pointed out if tehy feel so strongly about taffy not being a villager going after me makes no sense ghven how d1 played out)
@Totally not Taffy sometimes 1 post is enuf (but i also think they have posted well today and yday at eod). Idk who you are talking about that has the opposute visor read as me?
Visor is not a priority for me to look at right now so what you get is what you get taffy. I'm more concerned with manti, Ladd, and lissa.
Ben I missed that part entirely but idk if taffy pov makes sense as a wolf? Like why claim that role as a wolf?
Manti is just a wolf who latched onto something they could spin as wolfy (taffy vest stuff at eod) and blew it completely out of proportion. They did the same thing eod1 with annika
I genuinely dont care bout their claim, its nai. their posts are just super wolfy
I made the mistake of caring about arctic claim even tho they were posting villagery but no more. I am back at applying apoc school of werewolfing
I am fine with manti dying I guess
+1
If I had bombed last night, it'd probably have been Stett.
Bc EoD1 she immediately bought and defended Arctic as PR (and I'm not dismissing the chance that Sunbae died defending him), combined with the plan(s) to keep him alive - it looks like she just couldn't see him as a wolf when everyone else could. And then yesterday's repeated begging at EoD not to bomb Annika only for her to end up dead - that's very much a move I've seen wolves do.
So no you're not alone.
But if anything I'm not a hero shooter.
Taffy (7)
I suggest Taffy should be more involved in solving the game. I'm more likely to lock them town for that tnan for a claim. Tbh with your observation it would make some sense for them to be aligned with mafia. Basically, it could be that anti-claim mechanic. Douse a player and then janitor them while killing that. Do you think it would make sense balance wise?
Btw taffy, what's your take on Visor? You asked Dya and Ladd a whole bunch of questions, but I have to admit I would like to know your take too.
brb throwing myself into the ocean
From what i re read (bit and pieces) ender is the second wolfiest poster itt
Their strongest wolfread on arctic was a classic example of a read that felt justified AFTER it actually started. Like ender wolfread arctic for a single post d1 but then d2 he made a whole wall for why artic was a wolf that was incredibky nitpicky and taking everything at its worst possible interpretation
Their vote on me today is justified by 1 silly reasons (beacause i slipped there is an arso? Lmao cmn brah) and lacking any sort of holistic view of my posting
Third guess would still be lissa but they have sunbae read and some okay posting during not eods going for them
Everyone else is villa. I rechecked eod and stett/benneh arent wolves. Zelda too pure. Dya too pure in some spots and showing some classic villa dya signs. Taffy not a wolf.
Like if i REALLY wanted to tinfoil someone it'be waza or visor but waza has been asking the right questions, posting good thoughts, being his villa self all game and visor idk what he is doing since d2 (guess just busy) but idt this is how he plays as a wolf
Also annika has been the best villager this game. So many good posts and reads d1
im gona guess manti is a wolf arso that douses and gives a track to the same player but they can't ever ignite or alternately they ignite only when they die
so rip visor and stett in that world
The fact that he was/is keeping his target close to his chest, which to me means either a) he caught the NK and he wanted to give them time to spew more, or b) he tracked someone who hadn't posted yet when you asked and wanted to see if he could catch them in a lie (and I was one of the ppl who hadn't posted yet) - for example if he'd seen me do nothing but I'd claimed to have doused someone he'd have known I was lying. Or, if I'd doused someone but gotten NKed it might've been good for town to still know where the bomb was.
Taffy (8)
I'm going to waste one more post on mechanics before returning to my reread.
I can see a point of having a complicated janitor. It would give mafia half a killing role. There would be always an interesting decision for them to either explode a player or lose that extra kill and go with the janitor. I don't know how this combination jives with 2 half lightning rods and a inventor (unreliable informative + protective role).
The other thing is that the janitor is only hiding roles. So, ladd's probably right, because it would only make sense to use to hide a mafia role to me. Accidently janitoring town might be pro-town.
Ok, I feel like dropping this notion and returning to Taffy v/3p.
Also, to sum up where I'm at (I think it might be slightly confusing for you)
Towncore (I just don't consider entertaining a vote) - benneh, dya, stett
3p/town - Taffy
Towny players I find myself agreeing with a lot and I also find them quite towny, but he thread makes me feel like I should doubt them - ladd
Players I found towny and want them to be town, but can see them flipping mafia - Visor
Players I found to be clear towns earlier but I'm reconsidering them now - waza, lissa
Possible wolves, but they also are miselim baits aka it feels too easy - Maple, Ender
Based on this tier list max one wolf in Maple, Ender tbh. I would say my list is quite consensus, maybe too consensus.
Ladd is an interesting one. Quite a few players have voted him over the course of the day and I actually find him townier than most of them rn. So, maybe I should consider these votes.
The problem with Ender (and with Manti to some extent) is that they're wolfy. Can they be wolves? Yes Can they be wolfy towns manufacturing reads? Absolutely. So, it's natural they are in the poe, but we should be trying to find something they would have no need to do as wolves. Like Ender making quite a few drive by hottakes around page 9 without any pressure on him.
btw people, tell me if I'm misgendering you or if I'm using wrong pronouns. I forgot to ask early on. I know Benneh, Visor, Ender, ladd, sunbae, Rask should prefer he. I remember Manti using he as well, but Lissa is using she for them. Lissa used to be she. Is it still the case? Dya they/she. The rest I have no idea.
I mostly use he/him btw.
Dyachei.
You say "Visor has been playing the agitator and having original pushes all game" and they say "he's not really doing much this game" those two are completely opposite
So I'd expect you to notice it and talk about that to eachother. And afaict you're not. It's uncritical treatment of eachother and you're two keen players.
Taffy (10)
I think Visor is town bc of how he's posting. I thought the inaccuracy he pointed out in Arctic's D1 case (against Visor) was justified and I'm sure he'd have made that post as either alignment. If I get round to reading D2 I might change my mind if I feel like he was standing aside and letting the town circus happen, but his posts today are also very towny. So for the time being Visor lives in the "don't vote till FX" category, together with you, Ender, Happy, and Benneh.
Taffy (11)
I've just recalled Visor's w meta here. He was mostly pocketing old school org/civfans players by reacting to their posts with this emoji :bow:
Also, I'm locking Lissa town and I feel good about it. If I'm wrong I'm leaving mafia forever. My reasons can be found if you click the button.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
pages 9-12 btw. I'm a slow reader.
I think my poe at this point is visor/waza/maple/ender with the focus on the former two.
@Maple how did you get to these specific pairings?
Taffy (14)
Also, I'm kicking Dya out of towncore for now tbh. Btw It's not because of the low levels of activity. It's because of the content of these early posts being kind of weak sauce. I liked them earlier, but I admit I was influenced by my ancient meta on dya (which I love and I tried to play like her in several games).
I hope your cat's doing better btw.
Next point
That last d1 post from waza is something. The section dedicated to Rask is weird? Like he needed to justify the vote, maybe even call out rask a little bit. I admit I might be doing that tunnel vision thing now. Nothing he couldn't write as town.
Calling Sunbae wolf and at the same point declaring that he won't vote there is iffy. Stick to your guns, goes the saying.
And then it's just a pile of words. It feels a lot like a wall made for the sake of posting one. There are some good bits but the overall town is like I could imagine voting most of these players. Not too many townreads. I want to vote now waza tbh.
Vote: waza
@nebjiamn yes i correctly read it. The only world taffy is a wolf is like... lost wolf? The need to diffuse mafia at all doesn't coexist well with maf bomber
also to clarify: i did not get a track from Maple. dif invention,
ah yes checks notes lemme: kill my 0 posting mafia parter while defending you + arctic, nk sunbae who had me top town, try to start a wagon on someone i dont townread to counter the vote on someone i do, yell at you like 10 times to not douse annika, nk annika who had me as top town.
.... sick wolf play :wall:
@nebjiamn
uh well
so
manti gave me a jailkeep.
dunno if track + jk inventor makes the world more functional for you or not.
i agree that your eod felt towny.
I think my problem is: the bit of ate d2 kinda shook me, and I 10000% you would have those emotions as town, but it kinda threw me back to indie mash where, when i solved around you I was mostly right, but when i fell for a ate moment and started solving with you you were indeed wolf and you stated talking me out of all my correct scumreads.
I think the problem i'm really struggling with rn is:
maple is making herself impossible to find by just tunneling taffy for the most part and being bored with the game. It's hard for me to process.
I think both pzelda and ender have been towny. I think lissa has fallen off and i really struggled with her handling of arctic yesterday.
I kinda have you/ladd as both sounding good and speaking well, but I struggle hard with the directions yall take.
Like
Ladd pushed taffy D1 and a bit D2.
He's now pushing maple as wolf and ender as second wolf.
Maybe this is another stett is bad and wrong and needs to stfu like a good girl moment but... Realistically i see a world that's three town. And his strong defense of you is pinging me, b/c i'm not sure if it's just correct, if it's pockety, or if it actually does have pair equity.
I also, no shade, really really didn't like his catchup posts "relooking" at the whole game yesterday, and the thoughts felt kinda shallow/performative.
This is an incredibly fucking stupid thing to be worried about but i didn't like your post questioning me on why I asked about millers b/c it kinda feels like you'd normally say "lol stett is softing cop and is vt, polarized noob L"... but maybe that means you're uninformed
I do agree that you seemed down to kill ladd eod1, but it's hard to full eval when you were postcapped so it's mostly vote swinging. I'm p sure I also explicitly said I didn't actually want to kill ladd while he was AFK for being seemingly wrong on Taffy, so im not sure how much juice that actually had.
It's more my concern now that you're focusing on maple, who doesn't seem particularly fussed to play the game, than ladd: who fits more into the profile of a maf in this gamestate to me
anyways i appreciate you and im sorry if it feels like I've been stonewalling you. I'm kinda bad at doing like... big dissection solvy wally posts nowadays.
vote: ladd
Ok, I should stop wasting posts on bits like this, but I think that the distribution of waffles is:
1-2 in waza, Visor, dya
0-1 in Manti, Ender
There's this hint of doubt in the way Manti townread Ender, but... he could do that as town or push it as his v read for whatever reason as wolf. I wouldn't use that to associate them.
I'm more interested if I can figure out more about waza, dya and Visor. I think they're where we should focus. Like ender and manti are players we're never removing from poe for their posts only (I'm sorry if it's too harsh).
I'm still rereading while writing this and p15 ender looks kinda good. He was laid-back and he was quickshooting posts showing his process. I'm not putting him into my towncore, but I again have a different reason to town lean him.
#450 tbh reads like a :book2: w/w interaction from Visor.
#544 is a great post. I want to be as good as Sunbae. 1-2 wolves in waza/visor/dya but not waza+dya makes sense and it makes the game easier.
#555 I want to tr Manti for this post.
Waza voting rask several times is little too much.
Visor voted for Rask at a crucial time makes him look better. Oh, this game's difficult. I was arriving at dya/visor, but I will need more to call them wolves. Visor trending up, at least slightly, with that vote. Does dya make sense without Visor to me with manti? I'm not sure tbh. I don't think so. Visor makes sense with more players and Waza makes sense with Manti or Visor.
Oh, Ladd being a wolf for pushing low hanging fruit and being too consensus is an interesting take.
I don't think I will follow (def not now) it but I like your thinking there.
I also like your point about Maple being bored with the game. That probably makes them town.

Day 3 - Votes from post 1171 through 1341
it sounds like we are nearly exactly the same in world views. i think something perhaps not immediately palpable in my posts is that i very much see the current world as somewhat of a diff check on maple/ladd but its hard to really want to solve the ladd worlds when manti is posting how they are/have been. their posts, paticularly eod1 at annika and how uncharitable they are. their direction at eod2 with wanting to cfd taffy and also kinda soft pushing arctic (while then claiming arctic town) and sussing annika.
but i agree that ladd is very concerning and idk if you'vpe read my take on his game or not but it pretty much is still there.
lets try to tackle this from another angle: we share the same currency but we're looking at two different sides of the coin. I don't think manti is lock wolf but help me see the worlds where you see ladd as more likely? i thinka lazier and/or wolfier me would probably be like "manti is a lost cause if town" but rather than ascribe those kinda connotations tell me why we should point the gun at ladd over manti today (and preferably without referencing mech)?
(ftr i wouldn't entirely discount them being w/w when I say i see them as somewhat of a diff check but i dont really care about that today, solving for teams is kinda meh with the vote logic that we have)
stett you big dummy that post is like a continuation of your manti cop posting in bean, i am fully right to be freaked the fuck out by that shit lolQuote:
This is an incredibly fucking stupid thing to be worried about but i didn't like your post questioning me on why I asked about millers b/c it kinda feels like you'd normally say "lol stett is softing cop and is vt, polarized noob L"... but maybe that means you're uninformed
Ladd d1 felt little off tbh. My impression was that they could be a pr.. Today I quite like them but I also admit they might be too consensus.
Also, I'm heading to bed.
My poe is waza/dya/visor/ladd now.
Ender probably just town.
I'm not sure about maple, but they're not out of some generic town meta tbh. Them being bored as town explains a lot tbh
IMO that actually is one of the more pairing posts for them. it amkes a lot of sense for dya to do some distancing with w!ladd at sod2 given taffy's EOD and a lot of heat expected to come ladd's way as day 2 begins. and their response about how they felt better for him finding them before eod was a bit lackluster.
i don't really wana go down that well but if push comes to shove this isn't something worth clearing a dya/ladd team from existence imo
I was considering swapping to Maple again but 3/3 tie good. (Wolfy excuse)
@Totally not Taffy
Don't have energy for that atm. Will think about doing later
Yall need jesus
I felt very confident (probs unreasonably so) with what direction I wanted to take the day prior to sod
Some of that has fizzled out, partly because ender playing in a way where he seems comfortable and willing to accept the poe. And errr if he’s a wolf and the poe has both wolves he probs doesn’t do that? Maybe? Idk technically the poe can still work even if ender is town but yeah other stuff on top of that also made me think I need a reads reset. I’ve just been too lazy/busy to get around to it, I do think it’s more of a wim issue than an irl busy issue though I’m sure that also plays a factor.
Really the only posts I read today were the short ones and the ones where I could see my name mentioned. Most people having me as town is confusing me lol but if enough people are doing it that means villas are doing it too so I can’t read too much into to. I did tell myself I would tr the first person who pushes me today (provided the push seems believable), since for whatever reason I don’t think the wolves feel like pushing me atm. Maybe I’m wolfsiding, maybe they think I’m townier than I actually feel I am, idk. It’s a shame that Zelda was the first person to vote me lol because I think I already had them in not tinfoil tier so even if I find his push believable it doesn’t change my worldview too much to lock him as town since I already have
Whilst I am aware that I’m probs wrong somewhere I don’t think that somewhere is ladd, I’ll probs shield him closer to eod if I have to. Hopefully between now and then I can read more of the game and have some useful thoughts, I did wanna try harder today to avenge Arctic but haven’t gotten around to it yet oops
Very concerning for what? For taffy still?Quote:
but i agree that ladd is very concerning and idk if you'vpe read my take on his game or not but it pretty much is still there.
The way you have handled my slot is starting to be so bad that i am genuinely considering i was wrong on you which is crazy, but i feel like u have made 0 effort to get there on me
I expect stett to be unable to read me but for better or worse, i expect you to at least try to get there
