Chess - Game Thread [Concluded]

Well I know I don't to mechanical long con strategies as mafia, they don't work out very often in my experience. Just get that town read and survive is usually enough for me... ^^. It's probably also the reason I fell this game because I havent been doing any fake claming to draw a NK either which is why it probably looks akward from your position and thus scumreadable or w/e.. oh well :)



One thing I feel like I need to make clear is that me scumreadingi Xiahou is not because of his low number of posts alone. The slight activity fall off... well duno where this is coming from. Seeing all mafia buddies getting killed so quickly could certainly kill motivation which could explain Cuth or Xia's slight drop in postings... on the other hands I slightly scumread Barto because he got more active because for some being solo triggers a WIM 'now I'm gonna show them and own this game' reflex... So the change in activity is overall NAI in my eyes... only difference would be if the content of posts reflected a dropping motivation which would be unusual for town after being so sucessful to match with declining number of posts but I don't think that's the case on anyone here... well on Cuth it kinda fits I guess. He came in yesterday as well to announce he is there and then nothing. Perhaps saw he was in the PoE for many ppl and just essentially gave up? I hope I'm wrong on that read cuz then he just makes us suffer through endless days of lynching down PoE but duno.

DP's got the fatigue as well. I think town can lose WIM if there's nothing for them to do, or if they feel a lack of control.

I’ve been in a similar position to cuth recently, haven’t had much WIM in general with the game state being what it is. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game use PoEs as aggressively as this one before, it’s kind of weird. I think overall though Slaan doesn’t need to be a suspect right now, he’s reacted authentically to the pressure. His currently proposed PoE is fine by me.
