As either alignment it feels like you should be working some grand strategy, but the pop-in didn't feel like any meaningful strategy.
There's no strategy behind calling out how my top 3 suspects were on that wagon and it was on someone I did not read as wolf.
I didn't advance the thread state because I was busy for hours before that end of day elsewhere. I was leaving a legacy read in case the game had no doctor.

I have not built teams yet, I am saying who is individually wolfy before I pre-flip an entire team.

Probably not, I need to read this game and question all my suspects before end of day.

I have no meta data on Vulgard except I skimmed a recent wolf game of his and found it to be somewhere between similar and not identical.
Not useful really.
I don't think meta is how I crack Vulgard's alignment. It's going to be other processes here, since I don't know him.
There was something else too (about Vulgard), it was earlier and I'm not going back to looking for it. But Ender did some kind of pocket joke. Vulgard first responded to it in a way that I thought was acknowledging the joke, but when Pizza challenged him on that in a way that I originally thought was taking the whole thing too seriously, Vulgard goes and calls it a reaction test, which is just . no. I don't believe that it was.

I am going to be AFK for a while, the activities involved will be:
Sleeping
Reading chronologically
Isoing
Meta diving someone before rendering judgment if I am pretty sure theyre a wolf
Then I will return.
I am asking people to take my opening posts so far on D2 absolutely 100 percent seriously.
I am not doing a gambit or a bluff.
If you do not take me seriously it will affect town's ability to win this game in a severe way, meaning I will die, and I won't be the only one, and that's several townies down the shitter at once at end of day.

Realized that halfway through my response, yeah. If you're right, we're back at the AtE which I don't think is very productive. See my other comment though. It was somewhere in response to Pizza's 297.

If I asked you questions and you do not answer them like you are trying to convince a fellow townie of your solve, we WILL NOT see day three together.

I'll share my town reads if/when I arrive at them, there's a slight niggling of something on Ender I think is positive but I'm sitting on that for the time being.
I don't believe in towntells because I think any wolf worth their salt can towntell, like you said in 189 only replace derp/dumb with town or wolf at your leisure.
I don't like the bolded, always feel like stuff like that seems made up to me.

I find the end of this quote just weird. It's not like "I think you're a woof" and more to me like" I want you to think I think you're a woof" or like a gotcha type deal? It was just odd phrasing to me.
Plus a lower level of content from hk than I've been accustomed to imo, but they already explained that.
I didn't really push it, except a comment about the about the above quote that was semi-serious. These are things similar to stuff that's bothered me before about hk, and I'm always wrong, so I didn't really do anything with it. Just focused on other people.

If I did not name you as a suspect, and asked you no questions, pretend I did.
In case I town read all my suspects one by one, your name might come up.
Stave off a death by showing me your town solve and CONVINCING me you believe it.
Under 11 hours remain.

Taffy seems okay from what I saw of day one, but I will look again.
If Vulgard is town the reason for the kill is almost certainly that it was a PR hunt, because his reads were therefore not scary.
if you'd be so kind as to elaborate on your first comment there I'd appreciate it because I'm not seeing how you make that connection

Vulgard I think has approached this game in a very villagery way. I find his solving villagery.
Visor is pretty lackluster this game. Not sure if it's because it's a casual game or if he's a wolf. I feel like visor, when he's villaging, has these like...bright moments of insight that I haven't really seen this game
Ender was counterwagon to a villager and that's enough to put him on a short list. I suck at reading him

Please specify why you think their reads list wasn't a reason to die.
if he was right locking those reads into place with people who, if town, are smart enough to start with the list and start pressing then he's worked hard to clear a few people who are chops the wolf team would like to get, and impugned people the wolf team would like to keep safe.
I guess it would have to come down to whether or not the wolf team thinks they could out play his list, or if they kept him alive, outplay him. I tend to think if you have a player who's right, and is hard to eliminate that you want to work to mitigate them not enshrine their reads for perpetuity.

Dirt-common strategy that most players probably participate in at least some of the time. I do it more deliberately than many, but as either alignment.

The read is simply that you are lacking in spontaneity. There is a spark you tend to have when you are town that I've been good at seeing in the past even when other people are calling you a wolf, and yesterday was very pro-forma. I think in part it must have been deliberate (all those "this is a wolf tell" things), but there's nothing aside from that that feels free. You're running on rails.
Admittedly, Pizza does feel unusually restrained to me. Not in terms of activity level but in the way he relates to players and in the opacity of his thread goals. I would expect whatever he is trying to achieve to be more obvious/telegraphed than it has.
It could after all just be part of his stated SOD gambit of keeping his cards closer to his chest than usual (though we know now that later on he'll fullclaim). I've seen him take the all-business approach on one other occasion just like this, but unfortunately I don't remember the context or alignment.

Because she genuinely seems to have come into the game cold at EOD, and as maf would have availed herself of scumchat's advice. There is at least
potentially a way to read her approach as OOT-informed. But as with Visor the alignment of the counterwagons will be most indicative. I do wonder if anyone else got that impression.

in the last year and a half or so I've eaten two bans, gotten several warnings, and several "off the record chats" with people I respect urging me to take a chill pill so to speak.
after tryharding for several games over the spring/summer and realizing it was negatively impacting my game I decided to do a 180 and try to be as unflappable as I could be, try to make fewer, but more insightful posts, and work more closely with others instead of shouting about "my solve" and pushing solo on people.
That's not to say I don't make pushes on my own, or come up with my own ideas and thoughts, I still do that, I just find myself less often bashing my head against a wall because it gets me nowhere.

It usually seems to work the other way. Gone is forgotten.
I feel like you're missing your village aggressiveness. I don't think you've really pushed your reads that much this game

You, mostly agreed with you woof leans, except vulgard.

Currently Taffy's look very similar to where I'm at now

4) Who on that wagon are wolves, including "none" or whichever names you wish.
3. Bad opening, continuous pressure leads to more negative opinions/responses and no optically worse candidate, something along those lines. Probably people wanting to save ender/ampharos as well
4. everyone but vulgard, cape, taffy, maybe visor. I don't get visor currently

except that here it is not and the reason is that we're all highly skilled players who aren't going to forget about the recently dead. Come 3-4 days from now if we're still playing then sure but I don't know of anyone who would ignore the most recent NK reads list.

that's correct I haven't really pushed my reads much.
as far as being less aggressive I'm trying to find that line between aggression and antagonism.
