Anyway. I'm off to a late Aussie bedtime.

Grr probably town for
(Lol I just opened my phone and this was there and I don't remember why but I found it funny so here you go)
Oh yeah for going at newcomb, nevermind that it's a stupid read
@Jan why?
@ColonelLubriderm
could you go into these a bit more?
what about c0balt do you have as towny?
ik you acknowledge the sheep thing is just agreeing with what others said, but can you explain why it pinged *you* ?
b/c frankly, i think its a really awkward point of attack and think it was more natural than other early TRs on me. wolves aren't srsly gonna "lockclear" a town post 1, espec a town they probs don't want to waste an nk on. think the reasoning others have expressed is pretty weak here, so i'd like to hear yours.
Vote: nebjiamn
2/5 nice
Grr is tiny SL rn, but his alignment is probs obvious by eod
I’m not vibing with wisdom’s posts at all yet, but wanna see if that’s just dif perspective or if its indicative of alignment stuff.
Arctic is odd. His posts kinda sound like voice notes turned into text. Idk what that means, maybe town?
Gemma town, ender town, insomnia town
Not all that cobalt specific tbh.
Villagers are more off the cuff and more likely to underexplain while wolves are ready to (over)explain and their pushes are more calculated.
Saying less leaves you open for scrutiny.
And I don't think Cobalt as a wolf wants to get bad heat early (which is where the read gets back to being somewhat cobalt-specific).
His biggest weakness is not getting a foot in the door of the village from my limited (and outdated) pov which can result in flaking.
Once he gets a grip on the game/state he has an easier time staying within the group.
Gemma, do u have reads aorn?

nothing spicy hbu
it's a little ego-y but I think i'm gonna townread ladd for this; I think the threadstate thing I posted before going to bed is one of those things that only crystalizes with a certain amount of experience and especially its relevance only really sticks out if you're thinking about the game in a certain way. Not that that way is explicitly good or the right way to play or anything, i'm really contorting my arm to avoid patting myself on the back here. But basically like, thinking about the game in terms of overall mafia archtypes and what kind of game it feels like compared to the breadth of your mafia experience, that is something it makes sense for ladd to recognize and then vibe with.
And in running the mental cross check for pocketing and TMI I don't like... exclude it categorically but it definitely feels more in the goldilocks zone than not.
I also think if that's actually a pocket w!ladd attempt I'm not sure he could resist a subtle prop or jab at the accuracy of the "0-1 wolves" thing? That's maybe stretching the mental map of ladd a bit too far to be comfortable. Feels right though.
cobalt's meta is
but ymmv
now this I don't like as much
the second line feels like something you just throw in to add the appearance of depth without there being any real consideration
As I'm typing this though I'm recognizing that there's perhaps a bit of "townreading someone who townreads you is such a goober thing to do off the bat" that i'm reflexively doing the opposite to prove to myself i'm not a chump
gonna let this one marinate
Damn u lazy patate. Just pings on the knight and sheep but rn i cant remember why smh. I wouldnt be surprised if the one TRing Benneh flips wolf though. Think I have asked about it, will prolly cast a vote once I sober up a bit. Syns post is OK (lmao this read), will reevaluate when he gets up. Ender is OK for D1 on tone only.
Grrr looks a bit odd to me rn, not sure what he saw on Newcomb (but this vote got my attention, curious about any follow up).
Pretty much it
Respect the effort, I'm way too lazy these days to check you.
Vanta black and Syn are the two names that stick out on that list as like "no fucking way", like yeah I believe you but it must have been literally a 1-sentence popin. And what gemma's doing is not actually posting.
Felt like less, is my point
Sunbae/jan/newcomb seems like a fun d1 masonry
I read it completely opposite of you and found his the least natural. You say he wasnt seriously lock clearing you but he literally said in the same post he wasnt joking and the following post he resaid he had one confirmed town(sure they may have been being hyperbolic in the confidence but the read i believe is real). To me it read like a wolf sheeping a read on someone they felt was(or was going to be) threadspewed villa.
During my readthrough this morning that was what i was thinking and i agreed with cobalt when he said that he didnt like sheeps post which in turn made me kind of like cobalt.
so i was thinking when this game started that i was just gonna shitpost and sheep jan and hope he rolled villa.
This might be the way
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
good lord
Okay you're not the only one doing it i'm not talking to just you here, and high chance I come off as old man yelling at clouds, but goddamn some of you need to activate the editor brain and not just the writer brain.
I'm all for stream of consciousness and i'm a big advocate that making your thoughts clear and your process transparent is a great thing to do in mafia games, but good lord.
Some of y'all are giving multiple paragraphs to thoughts that are really not complex enough to warrant it
again, to be clear, not talking directly to you, there are a couple lyrical miracle posters ITT.
Why would anyone sheep me?
I agree with everything else.
I am slowly crawling through lowtier maps on my lvl 73 gladiator in ruthless mode.
I only have a single support gem so far.
My life is pain and misery.
(we can maybe make a sheep train where I just have to find someone else to sheep and then you can sheep me. we will see)
Villagery post
I dont really get the hate on wisdom tbh, they seem to be posting like normal wisdom afaict
Sunbae post wrt knights/newcomb is 1) villagery and 2) i doubt he shades newcomb after newcomb basically gave him green light to pocket them. Alas sunbae is probabky a villager
Jan seems like his obvious villager self
Gods I vibe with Newcomb so hard I need someone to call out unreadable walls in every game!
i think jan is just town. he's vibing this game, feels like
he also hasnt posted a bunch of gifs yet
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.
Talk to me about benneh; apologies if I missed it, i'm catching up and also f5'ing the thread as I do
(to be clear i am not convinced syn is a wolf as of this post)
i villa read sunbae/colonel(bop)/newcomb/jan/stetter pretty confidently
then i have a bunch of people who i have no strong reads on (some i admit i have just skimmed over their posts and will read them later)
then sheep/knights imo has 1 exactly 1 wolf
while i get why rask villa reads syn, i thought this post:
was out of character for their villa self, but I am not sure how serious it is
this benneh post:
reminded me of some benneh posts from last game here (where he was a wolf). I cba to double check cause it's d1 and my interest in lunching him today is extremely limited but thats the vibe i got
i'd bet ~everything vanta gets killed by village regardless of alignment
yea knights honestly had a TON of stuff that pinged me, i just thought sheep push on them was worse in the moment so i didnt pay it too much attnetion
benneh read on wisdom just read like the wolfy kind of salady and wisdom is an easy villager to wolf read (and imo he has not been wolfy at all). I think a big part of it ws just a flashback to his wolf game here tho lol
idk maybe later i'll dig up the posts it reminds me of
@Jan see, the problem for me is i kinda associate that more with his townplay than wolfplay, which means the early eagerness here kinda feels in line with what i'd expect from w!balt
#160 just feels hedgey to me, but intentionally so. i kinda doubt thats a post either v!cobalt or w!cobalt would anticipate getting heat for, so idrk if i buy your analysis, but. i'll keep it in mind, ty
@Jan gemma has the vibes of a badger that got woken up by birds at 3am and is now drinking tea to cope.
translation: they have a kinda bruskness and "im too cool for this" attitude, which like, *can* be a way for maf to slank and blend, but i typically associate with villies. i also vibe with their lil micro comments like:
#138, #266, and how they've used basic "why" pokes.
this might seem a bit odd of a q, but: if you had to hypothetically assign one person in thread The Hermit card, who would you reckon best fits the bill?
elucidate me? your TL in the first place felt like sheeping thread, so which posts made you come to your own conclusion? @Wisdom
:book2:
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
@C0balt weird q but:
would you say PL at all influenced your approach to sod? if not, what was your general mindset going into your thread entry?
I'm kinda squinting at this in a vaguely TWTBAW / TWTBTWTBAW way.
Like the flow as I understand it is - wisdom had an expectation on rask for "some reason" that they'd be more high energy. Also, he knew Rask didn't want to rand wolf. So the thought is, if he did rand wolf he'd counteract that perception by going harder.
Just having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the actual thought process here. If Rask had come in high energy would that also be a townread? If so, what is the utility of the read at all? Didn't rask's first post have something about them being on vacation? That point doesn't get consideration when it directly relates to thread presence / energy?
Also the counter is super blatant - someone who really didn't want to rand wolf and then is lower energy, like idk maybe they're actually just a wolf??
Also I'm not sure I even agree rask has been low energy, especially grading on a curve
Yeah I think i'm gonnn need to see some tapdancing or something here
ngl im p sure we haven't been v/v since hydra szn lol, so im excited if tru!!
do you have any hot takes?
this feels like a p small townlist for 10 pages deep, so i'd like to hear a bit about how you approach TRs, and what, if anything you're cautious about with townreading other "heavily" (relative to gamestate) TR slots like newcomb, sunbae, arctic
sup
wrt colonel being bop - there was a couple posts that bop made (the one about if being gh gets him villa read then hell ya i'm gh) which stood out way more in my mind while reading and felt like how gh 'claims' his alts. and since gh alts alot over on MU, and this is his homesite, i just kinda ran with that assumption. Completely missed the jon paul references and benneh calling you bop otherwise yeah it would have been pretty obvious.
wrt ladd wondering why i didn't give a read on sheep - i wrote out a whole couple sentence thing about sheep, and wanting to drop him in lean wolf on my reads list, but after rereading it I felt like i was reaching pretty hard and trying to force a read on someone I knew i should have a read on, but I didn't actually have a firm read on, and so I just left him off.
my thoughts were essentially I think his wolf read on me is pretty high confidence considering its a page 1 wolf read on someone who he historically isn't the best at reading, but I didn't really think the reads were wolfy so much as wrong so i didn't want to omgus him, but that he hasn't actually been villagery either.
all of which sounds hedgy and stupid so yeah i just left it off :dizzy2:
@ whoever asked about my benneh read (raskov I think?)
its literally just i liked how he interacted with bop
relatively low confidence but the vibes were good
q: do you think wisdom was actually interested in why bob/knights/sheep (im forgetting who exactly it was now) didn't question whether that was a pre-written post?
that does not seem like something she would actually care about in that spot and i disliked the way it was framed because it came across as shade. so even if i accept maybe she just had a different thought/approach to the stett post the framing thereafter felt ruff to me
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
damn stett's found the best org emojis already. she's a natural ORGAH
Id say thats something wisdom could care about as a villager ya
They make weird reads fairly often as a villager and i didnt really think that post from them was wolfy
Idr have them as lock clear or anything bit thry have seemed mostly the same as all the times they have been villa here
@Knights
Yea, mostly small stuff but its a bunch of things. For transparency here is the list!
- not giving a read on sheep push on you
- villareading benneh for 4 posts about cats (with the same strength as bop who was objectively more villagery imho)
- syn read felt a bit weird cause i dont feel bop alignment should have mattered much?
- saying newcomb had made some game related post bit not reading them and instead going to sleep. This 1 is a bit silly but as a villager idt i could have helped myself from reading them lol
I skimmed/looked for my own name on catchup so i haven't fully processed the thread tbqh
my general thoughts are that i still feel pretty good about my earlier villa reads, i think benneh's hangup on wisdom talking about your first post feels like villa!benneh, I think sheep had a villagery post that you quoted which i need to reread and process my feelings on, i liked arctic's entrance a lot, think newcomb is significantly more villagery now, and I hate ladd's wolf read on me because it feels not very fleshed out, and like he's just wolf reading me after general thread perception on me soured and he's just trying to add more pressure, so I think of the people pushing me he is currently most likely to be a wolf.
something about enderwiggen pinged me but tbh i don't remember what it was and i've never played with them so i'll probably jsut let that go
(Also i dont have a strong read on u, as i said i dont have an "home run" wolfread atm. I am mostly just content hanging out until later part of the day and them see how i feel/who i wanna push)
okie dokie -- i still think that was phrased wolfily but w/e
cats are a proven pocketer, as evidenced by the makaze role in anni getting all the donations for the kitty appeals.Quote:

(i think knights read on me (and others) was actually fine btw, it seemed like a vibe read and not a 'zomg hes so townie' read. im biased tho)
Insom reads villagery to me which means Insom woofing :(
Lmao
Stett is a new player from MU (actually from 5up server iirc)
@Benneh :thumbsup: agree to disagree
Im going to see deadpool and wolverine
Im pretty sure I'm gonna be able to just big vibe and shitpost this game while the titans of werewolf actually solve shit for me <3
lol i'm confused as fuck
and I know the more I ask for a real answer the more i'll get trolled which is fair
I will therefore go do something else for a while :v
