gh is probably fine

[GeneralHankerchief]

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 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.

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

pretend the hattip emote is here

[Hally]

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

what can i do to help you get into things?

you have me and gh as villas atm? anyone else catch your eye?

[Hally]

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

i think “opening with questionable pushes instead of easing in” is about where the similarities end but his follow ups have a better feel to them

[Hally]

also how do you iso 'round these parts

i can't find the magic button

go back to the gameroom subforum

then click on the number of replies to this thread

a window pops up listing everyone who posted

and if you click on their post number it takes you to their iso

there’s a guide with pictures in the link in one of the op’s

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

[Ephemeral]

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

beautiful

thank

[GeneralHankerchief]

mmm

I'm having some trouble finding the right words to express this but

I think he's trying too hard and it feels unnatural

It's kind of like he's trying to put a different spin to what he was doing in rocks inv while doing the same thing

lolwords

Ah, right, it was this one.

Again, levels. Still doesn't do much for me at this time really.

Sounds about right ye

[pzelda]

mason hally
rb amy
kill monty obv

[Csargo]

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

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.

[pzelda]

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 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

Dya just feels like a low energy wolf. I think it's fairly easy to this read and without meta.

[dyachei]

what can i do to help you get into things?

you have me and gh as villas atm? anyone else catch your eye?

i'm not sure. I wish I could stay up late like other people but I can't

I feel like i missed so much threadflow overnight and the only one consistently posting through the day is GH

i thought sunbae was a little weird

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

What was weird about sunbae specifically?

it sounded from that post like you were sussing him?

[dyachei]

What was weird about sunbae specifically?

he asked me how I was, I said i was exhausted and he got excited about the renovation that's exhausting me.

then he called me a wolf

felt like we weren't having the same conversation

[Hally]

Not really sure what you mean by levels in this instance

can i get a sanity check on this?

Go check mafia chat

this kind of feels like a v!dya read? vaguely?

hally what do ya think

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.

Not really sure what you mean by levels in this instance

Neither do I, really. 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.
