where in that sentence did I state our lists were close.

I'm listing the changes i'd make to get it to a point it would be closer.

weird post

i feel like you just strung words together that don’t actually say anything about either gh or dolby

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.

Gotcha, thanks.

You may be onto something with Csargo, will keep that in mind and might do a small little metadive later on to see how I feel about it.

In the meantime though, Daft Punk just announced that they broke up so I'm gonna mourn as best I can at the office. :robot:

actually i'd probably mason with hally over dolby but thats less spicy

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.

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

hrm. HRMMMMM

this post feels kinda off to me but i’m not sure i can articulate why

the “i came into the game saying i wouldn’t get pocketed by eph and hally but i’m pocketed” in particular feels kinda fake because i don’t really buy you would actually think that as a villager? i feel like you’d just... read us. feels more like a line you’d throw in as a wolf to pocket us

more minor point but i also don’t really like how the reads on ara and gh are couched in “i can’t really read her so i’ll ruminate” and “i may just feel bad he’s a wolf and #wanting.” i feel like you’re being overly careful for reads that are essentially first impressions and are probably not gonna mean much in the scheme of things

all good, I'm binging money heist and its gotten me sleep deprived so I'll probably be pretty inconsistent with my response time too :p

Talk to me about manti

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

i guess i’m worried he’s #overcompensating for that by forcing himself to come out swinging again, but that didn’t go so well for him in team maf (dab dab) so i dunno if he would do it again lol

well he's definitely not doing a repeat of team mafia so far

nor do i expect him to

but his pushes so far are kinda:stare:

capage is perhaps a v i l l a g e r

also how do you iso 'round these parts

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.

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 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.

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.

You know I found that interaction weird myself, but I'm not sure about Visor trying to pocket Amy, I think the interaction ended little too abruptly for me to see it. But yeah, I don't think Visor had a reason to suddenly change his mind. I think Amy's reaction to your post will be important in this regard.

I thought he was kinda weird, like I said, and the stuff you said about the Eph read is weird. I share his suspicions on Dolby and in general I don't really think he's that bad. At worst I'm minorly concerned.

Maybe? I mean I don't think it's an instant rule-out. I think Amy is the more likely of the two to be bad from it, just because I went back and reread it and Visor's conclusion of finishing the meme off came immediately after he posted the pic and not because of a response from Amy in between.

not really beyond the fact that it feels like the kind of thought they'd have as a villager

which is kind of weak when I think about it because it's probably not that hard for them to fake a singular thought like that

sunbae
eph
dolby
ara
capage
gh
esooa
bop

might just mess around and call all these villagers. bop is probably my least confident but it feels alright for now
