i guess i’m just taken aback because i expected gh to be more chill regardless of alignment given this is supposed to be a chill game and it’s on his home turf and everything

i feel like we’re all *gestures* here and he’s like *gestures more* up there on the tryhardiness scale

dya making 8 posts and then dipping doesn’t really mesh with them being relieved to rand villa :thinking:

What do you think of Dolby?

i don't think him proclaiming reads strongly early moves the needle much

been a little while since i played with him, so just seeing where it goes for now

The only game I've played with GH in recent times he was tryhardy. Is it bad is it good is it meh? It seemed like he was trying to be chill and then for whatever reason took off. It's weird to me.

I feel like GH overreacted to Dolby, I'm not sure if it's unreasonable for him to do that or not, since I didn't think Dolby's read was above scrutiny tbh.

There was another one?

Fair enough I guess.

Attachment 24384

roughly where i am at

oh boy that is small.

lets try again

https://i.imgur.com/BOk1WtL.png

There is also a post from Montmorency where they ended with "4 mafia among us" and i wanted to reply to and quote that part but then repeating the phrase in various colors to emphasize that I think it reads as awkward and therefore mafia(not because it's mafia indicative but more because I've arbitrarily deemed it so) but since I have already screwed up posting a picture I don't feel like attempting and failing at this task so instead I've opted to describe it using 70 more words than necessary.



Now everyone knows i'm an eagles fan but I'd just like to give it up to the Dallas Cowboys. I know in the past I've hated them but I think they've really shown something admirable this past season and I just wish that my Eagles could show the same grit.




Now let me talk to you about the transatlantic pipeline and how it affects the migratory herding of the Sudanese mountain goat. Now let me explain the previous statement. People are going to skim this and think it is GH because of the avatar similarity. It tickles me to think that someone will skim this, read the above paragraph because I've spaced it out far from the others so the eye naturally catches it, and just the idea that for a brief moment someone will think this is GH praising the Dallas Cowboys tickles me to no end. What does this have to do with the first sentence of this paragraph you may ask? Why would anyone want to keep reading after that sentence and the fact that the first and last paragraphs are long enough for people to not read, prolongs the chance that people will keep thinking it is GH.
'

Also Hally is likely to be a villager, and thats solely based on the meme hally posted on the second or third page.

Sup bop

I like Sunbae for being curious of GH's multiquote about Esooa(regardless of his take on it being accurate at the time) but won't officially label him as towny and only think it quietly in the privacy of my own thoughts. In about twelve hours i'll make a post saying how Sunbae could be a wolf here and in post game I'll quote which ever one ends up being right.

That's about it

Minor misgivings on a few people but nothing serious

Anyone in particular stand out to you? (That you haven't already mentioned)

nothing worth mentioning really.

Even the ones mentioned are basically too early to tell with any real certainty

Should I consider this a mountainous 17er or just a 17er closed setup?(basically are there PRs in this game)

asking for a friend

I came into this saying I wasn't going to get pocketed by the pogchamps and then immediately started townreading Hally and Ephemeral. Eph just feels super comfortable and I really liked Hally's "X Y and Z towncore with me?" post as well as their "Ara has rocks in her brain" post.

incidentally i have rocks in my brain

Ara might be a villager but I suck at reading Ara so I'm gonna ruminate on it for a bit.

The fact that GH is getting called tryhard is really funny to me because I think y'all's perspective of what tryharding is is super warped. I'm lightly townreading his current level of engagement with the thread with the caveat that I would feel really bad if he randed wolf again and might just be #wanting.

i have no wolfreads and i'm probably not posting much more tonight, get at me

Reread this post in the context of its surrounding few posts

Lol

I'm fairly behind but some early thoughts.

I disagree with GH on Dolby, but not entirely. I think that Dolby going deeper and using previous games is within his town range, but the use and dependence on it should be questioned. I guess it's a good look for Esooa always.

Dya sounded forced in her sod interactions.
Sunbae commenting on them being out of wolf range bothers me a little.

It might take me longer to catch up and play as I have some work in the afternoon, but I should be fairly active in the evening.

I don't like this read. The way it's phrased makes me think Csargo *should* realize that the reason GH likely decided to point out things so much was because he's town, and noticed those, lol. It doesn't seem like the conclusion "it's weird to me" was derived from the things Csargo wrote beforehand

I think GH, if town, has a solid grasp there. I agree that Dolby wouldn't tryhard so much to tr his partner as w. GH as wolf, that might be trickier, but I think he would try to use it to pocket Esooa.

Also, reads after 8 pages:
town - Maple, Eph, Hally, Esooa (and I think I'm ride or die with these)
meh - dya, monty, dolby, possibly Sunbae

GH could easily fit in meh too, if I happen to see townier dolby later on. Dolby's meta post on monty could be w/w.

Well Ampharos you are an odd fellow but I must say, you read a good villager.

Ok, GH is town but he's wrong about eph (probably).

Sunbae's vote on Dya makes me like him.

And I probably shouldn't read Csargo this early given my record, but I find him towny.

That leaves me with Monty, Dya and Dolby as top suspects.

Vote: Montomercy


I haven't read Ampharos yet and I gotta run. Also, Visor, Ara and some other folks haven't made a strong enough impression on me to sort them either way.

this post feels wolfy bronana?

I think gh's tone is much more relaxed this game than in rocks and team game. He's not afraid to use words like kinda when he types. I know, this is kind of a basic read but he felt really formal to me the last 2 games which got me on him early. just not seeing that here

Maybe. pzelda (Capage) was caught pretty quickly the last two games I played with him (Generic Fantasy, here, and Red John, on the CFC section of MU), and at a glance his posts don't give me that same feeling yet. We'll see if this holds.

why?

If it's because I have a whole lot of townies, welp that's a crappy reason. If it's because I don't explain my reads, it's because I don't feel the need yet.
I think my vote makes sense. Monty made several posts mostly referring to obscure GH meta and putting a vote on Hally without further investigating her. Feels like wolfy behaviour to me.

This is a good point from Amy, but it's not towny. Basically, I agree with it (I put Sunbae in townleans for his vote on dya, which feels good, but it's partially because of my own reads), but I could see wolf Amy trying to remove townies from wider towncore too. Like trying to cancel townreads on other players is a sound wolf tactic as you're always trying to keep the lynch pool big.

If I continue here, this is Sunbae's meta, not the way I perceive him this game.

Visor in agreement with Amy and then the two of them townreading each other throws me off. Either they're really good at mindmelding or this interaction includes a wolf or two.

oh danke

I might need to explain, why I got slightly defensive after Visor called me wolfbro. It comes after a reasonable vote on Monty (what's your read there, Visor? I can't recall it), who has a solid chance of flipping wolf after these disastrous posts from earlier. It comes without an explanation, just a cool laid-back call out. The other thing is that Visor feels slightly more focused on looking like town, posting a thin read from time to time. These reads are mostly non-committal.

So, my new mehcore ordered:
Monty, Dya, Amharos, Visor, Dolby

Feel comfortable with not touching pzelda today.

im sad no one else wanted to play mason/roleblock/kill

if i had to bet on one person being a villager right now it would be dolby

I reread Ephemeral's posts. While I get Hally's point that his points w/r/t Manti and Dolby aren't as blendy as I thought earlier, they still just don't feel particularly townie to me. :shrug: They didn't jump out at me (in a good way) when I was following along live last night in the flow like the posts of certain others such as Ara, Esooa, and Hally, and they're kind of a big meh for me now looking back as well. They could be correct, sure, and they could also come from town, but that's as far as I'm willing to go and I don't think he should be picking up as many townreads as he has given his output. Don't really feel the need to move my vote atm (was this 70 words too many?).

The "home Orgahs" - Monty, Csargo, (kinda) Visor: It's too early to tell with all of them imo. I could lie and say that I have a slight inclination in one direction or the other with Monty's posts, but really I just need a little bit more time and content from them. I think I'll be able to get there on the former two eventually and would prefer to keep them around past D1 for that reason. Visor, let's be real, I'm probably not going there anyway, so there's not much point in discussing this. He's seemed ~ok. I liked the steamed hams exchange with Amy but thought he'd end up in a different direction with it rather than just finishing the reference. I felt it would have been more natural for Visor to suspect Amy a little bit there but he just kind of wrote it off. Maybe it's still just early D1, who knows.

Don't really have an opinion on Amy or dya yet. Sunbae's vote on dya seemed decent enough in the moment, but I think it was just a vote more than anything indicative. Dolby, still thinking about, no new content since last night so that read's kind of spinning its wheels right now.

I guess overall I'm at around:

[Hally/Esooa/Ara]
[Pzelda]

[Sunbae, kinda?]
[everyone else]
[Dolby/Ephemeral]

But I'm not really ready to go to war over any of these reads save for maybe the top 3/4. Everyone else is clustered right around the null/idk zone.

Gut feeling I had reading their iso on my ipad last night.

I read the applying of someone's iso in a previous game to read someone is villagy one page into this game as more of a villagy overconfidence than wolfy TMI(its funny because my saying im so sure he's a villa is this same overconfidence). I think trying to have people ignore Montmorency and focus elsewhere for now is also probably villagy based on the fact that Montmorency seems like the type of person that attracts heat.(I still think its probably slightly villagy even if montmorency turns out to be a wolf). There was something in between i liked but i dont remember offhand but if it becomes relevant i'll peek back and see.

Unrelated I dislike csargo sole focus on dolby alone (asking various people their thoughts on them) in their 9ish posts. I don't dislike it enough to want to kill them abut do dislike it enough to want to roleblock them in my mason/RB/kill game.
