Sorry, the response came without a quote in #377.

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

[GeneralHankerchief]

Feel comfortable with not touching pzelda today.

[ColonelLubriderm]

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

[ColonelLubriderm]

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

[GeneralHankerchief]

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. 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.

Why's that?

I would switch dolby/pzelda and maybe change ephemeral to csargo and that would be pretty close to where i am at

This... really isn't that close, then.

[ColonelLubriderm]

Why's that?

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.

[ColonelLubriderm]

This... really isn't that close, then.

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.

[Hally]

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.

weird post

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

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.

[ColonelLubriderm]

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

[Hally]

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.

this gimmick is genius

[Hally]

Sup bop

OHHHHHHH

that

makes sense

[ColonelLubriderm]

I just read about daft punk too and as an act of mourning I will not only eat a Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwich but also a blueberry muffin

[dyachei]

I feel like I'm having issues getting into the flow of this game

hally pointing out weird posts with few conclusions feels more like their villa game but im not ready to commit

[Hally]

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

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

[Ephemeral]

gh you wanna have a chat

mano a mano

[Hally]

Vote: Ampharos

This is the way.

I'm kind of half-working right now so I can't guarantee fast responses, but will do my best. Whatcha thinking?

[Hally]

mm

visor's prolly town

explain?

[Hally]

that's definitely towny considering wolf fatigue tho lol

actually? probably accurate tbh

[Ephemeral]

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

[Hally]

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

[Hally]

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

your last few posts about amy gave me the impression you were wolf reading her and now i’m confused

[Ephemeral]

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

[Hally]

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

[Ephemeral]

also how do you iso 'round these parts

i can't find the magic button
