i think you guys should just all vote me. I was super stoked to play this game because it's chocked full of people I like to play with but I keep getting wolf read for really dumb reasons. And yes, they are dumb, no matter how justified you think it is. I'm playing the way I play every game but it seems like I will never be able to clear myself to many of you and I don't really have the energy to throw at this game and try repeatedly. I'd rather just shitpost until I die at this point because everything I do gets people calling me a wolf.
because zack also has a “god read” on logic and is like 10000x more villagery than gh in this game and thinks logic is wolfy af? i don’t understand how you’re just ignoring that, isn’t zack like your top villager? do you think he’s lying about always reading logic correctly? why are you not factoring that in and trying to reconcile which is correct? your lack of curiosity or desire to dig into this is just bizarre
in other news, if zack isnt v i will be a sad boi
vote: logic
that wall from zack filled me with a feeling i can only describe as
idk wtf gh is doing town reading logic but i’m going to use my own brain and my brain deduces that logic is obviously mafia and we should kill him
zack isn't my top villager, no.
And zack doesn't claim a god read last I checked. He claims a good read. Which is not the same thing
my lack of curiousity? ffs hally you don't get to decide how I read people or what I should be curious about. Im far more aware of GH's logic read and it's accuracy than zacks
I've talked about plenty of stuff this game man, cmon
?Furthermore, the tone of this post you made earlier today:
was uncalled for imo considering the at-the-time conversational progression and seemed like it was pretty firm in closing off avenues of discussion FMPOV
You cited your authority as god-reader, declared Logic is town, explicitly told people to not even talk about him, and *literally* refused to explain it until I made that post. What response were you expecting, exactly? It comes across as really patronizing.
What did you expect to happen when you post like that lolthe last thing, the literal last thing I wanted to do in this game, especially on D1, was be dragged into yet another Logic polarity debate
yeah i've tried desperately to talk to you about a read we strongly disagree on and you have basically ignored me, because it apparently tilts you so much i didn't just blindly accept your readand the very last thing I expected was to have you on the stark other side of it and I kind of just want it to go away so I can start playing some goddamned mafia but apparently that's not in the cards so whatever, flip him and we'll see who's right and who's going to have a miserable D2 tomorrow
I don't really care if this is me being uncharitable at this point, I almost certainly am with this post, and I'm sure we'll have a chat about it postgame but right now I'm too frustrated to care
I think Logic is town, the end
if you want to have a conversation with me about the game then talk to me about a different slot
sorry for finding someone wolfy in a mafia game, wont happen again
supposed to be a chill game. all there is is fighting. yup, totally signed up for that
still think zack's town, btw. just not my top town. and i wonder if that's coming into play here because like people have all these expectations of how I should be reading other people and are making assumptions based on that.
??? but zack has made several posts including one just now saying how he never misreads logic, so you would be aware of it if you read the game lol
i’m just gonna drop this because it’s honestly super frustrating to have any suspicion on you no matter how minor be met with this kind of response. getting wolf read (even if incorrectly!) is part of the game. i’m trying to make a read on you, it’s not personal
i'm out. Hope I'm dead come morning because this game stopped being fun
glgl villagers
Just realised I'm actually running low-ish on posts and I need to think about ending shitpost hour. Which was fun.
I think Jan needs to be talked about more. Feels like they're sliding under the radar vs the other two games I've had with them. (One I was wolf, the other town.)
More importantly their posting has continued to ping me. (I swear this isn't a "hyperfocus because they sus me" thing.)
#394 especially recently feels like a "Look at these options that are obvious but I'm definitely exploring options."
It also feels non-commital in the way it defers to a townread there.
#81 was the original post that got me sus on them.
Partially because the "Yeah definitely agree with your sus there!" thing on me. Yes. Yes. Self-centric reads shush.
But a lot of the takes in that post were like "Yeah I see what you're saying" rather than really saying much about them.
The other note is that I remember Gemma/Jan having a fairly good measure on each other and Gemma's being weird about me too which makes me wonder. (Gemma I don't have a good take on so I'm a bit ~iffy~ but nothing concrete)
Zack/Raskol are the centre of my towncore tbh. But I don't have entire agreements with some of their worldviews. I am being swayed a little towards Logic (Despite being generally anti-logic trains because the dude gets wiped D1/D2 way too much recently) but I'm refusing to vote there because of the just said opinion.
Arctic I have vacillated on a lot, but I think I've come to "Probably towny" again? I am missing something there because I don't normally feel like a metronome looking at their posts.
GH I'm just... eh about. I do like Zack's points. Consider this a sheeping tell.
I had other things I wanted to talk about...
I might be back in long-post format for now. Condensing a bunch of thoughts because I have like... 10 posts left and I should be going to sleep when post-cap lifts.
zack, here's your recent posts in reverse order:
about me/logic
about me/logic
about logic
about Murska. I'll give you this one
primarily about me/logic
a vote on me, right after our initial disagreement w/r/t Logic
about me/Logic
about me/Logic
posted at 2:40 AM eastern, not about me/Logic
---
this has been the full sum of your posts since the sun rose this morning in the USA. all but one of them has been about how logic is mafia. the great majority of them have been explicitly linking me with him
the hell am I supposed to do with this lol
I am fully aware that I was not charitable with some aspects of my prior post but cmon man, look at it from my POV and look at how our disagreement specifically is centered around meta.
just vote Logic (or me, whatever, you get the point) and talk to me about a different slot in the game, please

Hey GH.
I'll bite. Can you gimme a rundown of what you think of Jan? I know you sus me and all but figure I'll extend the same line to you as you have to Zack. =P
Also any other slot that you want to talk about. Or any slot you think I haven't talked about enough and should talk about. I've got a little bit of free time while I sit with lunch and I'm buzzing around this game thread rn.
sure
I typically don't have a great read on Jan so I'm kind of hoping he gets obvious later/it gets sorted for me, so I haven't super put much effort into solving him D1.
I did lightly scumlean him for a good portion of the day just because he hadn't made many (any?) posts that I've nodded along with, while a lot of other people have in some capacity or another, and I know he has the capability of doing it (whereas folks like you are more of a blank slate, for example)
However, he finally made one such post about 9 hours ago, his most recent post, which contained a good thought on Gemma:
unfortunately I haven't been able to follow up on this really since neither Jan nor Gemma have posted since then, but it has been in my mind and it's enough for me to not really go for him today while I wait for more #content from them both
As far as Gemma herself, she's in the same zone to me as Jan was, without the benefit of having made that one post really. I don't necessarily want to flip her right away without seeing her post more, but honestly would probably be ok with it being a compromise elimination this EOD or something pending further posts
(#42 for me)

popped in to say that ladd isn't clear yet and people should be wary of him
Ender, you had roughly a 12 hour posting gap between your most recent posts and your previous stretch in the thread. Aside from the whole Logic stuff, what stuck out most for you during that gap and why? (if it Jan, pick something else)

You ascribing my snark as wolfy self-awareness? =P
I think Vanta's real entry and feeling very much in their town style of investigation was probably the part that stuck out the most.
But because just posting this feels bad I'm gonna do a reread and make any other notes:
Ladd was pretty lacklustre through the spell. I think I'm okay with them voting Syn and I tend to view their D1 uncharitably unless we sync on viewpoint. And I'm trying to give them some room because of that.
Wisdom feels at odd with thread which is ~usually~ towny of them? I feel bad making that read though because that's not a good read.
(#420 I think was the biggest one that felt like this.)
Arctic metronome. Watch it go.
I don't remember any other thoughts during this time so eh I'll go with this.
Actually I wanna make a note here:
I think Dya is town. We traditionally are at loggerheads no matter our alignment but I like to try improving on this. So caveat I have been known to read them badly.
Now that I see I am 4 posts from the cap (3 after this one) I am now more inclined to hit cap.
I'm going to be passed out at EOD anyway (6 AM my time)
I maintain that I was serious about having an inkling on dya.
I maintain that I think Zack is scummy because he is wrong.
I maintain that Vanta is my current top suspect.

lol fair. I've seen a lot of people make posts of that ilk over the years and yours just didn't feel especially town in the moment. could be my inexperience with you, guess I'll find out!
Let's talk about Vanta. If I'm reading your post correctly you think they look good so far but posting that specific read feels bad?
If I'm correct, let me know about how you feel on them after the reread, since I have zero experience with them, and to me it looks like they could potentially very easily be doing the thing where they just promise reads upon (re)examining the thread and never deliver. Don't think it's controversial to say that Vanta has done the least in the thread to date, so any nuggets about them and secondary reads you might glean once/if you get a better idea about Vanta would be greatly appreciated.
Feel like enough people have mindmelded on Wisdom for the same reasoning (or close to it) so I feel a bit better about my semi-turnaround there for the time being. Could be some nefarious deeds at work in terms of signal boosting, but that's for another day

Oh no I feel good about the Vanta read. That was more a "Just saying this and clicking post feels like a waste of my posts when I'm running low on posts."
That being said it's not a super strong read. Specifically the Hally Poke on P19 is something I'd expect out of a Town!Vanta, but it's one of very few bright spots amongst a lot of not much.
(Sorry Vanta now I'm bringing Meta into things =P)
hugs that sounds awful
i hope you start to feel better
why would thinking you're a wolf make me want to see you less tho? i don't actually think you're a wolf but even if i did
(the answer is you're always the one person in the game i feel like i really need <3 regardless of your alignment)
and yes heatstroke but no actually i'm just used to your being awake at all hours, also my breain is too small to understand timezones anyway
i think it was just the way he read arctic as wolfy for w reading something he also w read then changed his mind about
like if you're a villager clearly its a thought a villager can have and i dont get why the angle there is to do wolfread rather than just talk about why you think the reads are bad, which now that im aritculating it reminds meo f the ready i had on taffy that was very nothing
itrs not logic(al) to push jan because a) its jan and b) i didnt care that much and c) even if it was logical im not lol
Don't have much longer in the thread (should be around for EOD tomorrow at least) so just some quick hits before I go to sleep:
- won't be surprised if Syn flips as either alignment imo, the meta argument is definitely there but I've also seen/been in a ton of games where somebody just isn't feeling it/able to turn it on and that could be Syn here.
- I have benneh as more likely to be town than ladd, but for a dumb reason (seems like he's not forcing it at all and I don't think he'd necessarily coast this much on D1 as a badguy)
- ladd overall is probably exactly one tier above null for me, maybe a half tier. Haven't gone over his posts in detail but I feel like he's taken a number of easily trackable stances so we should be ok to put the STINK EYE on him in the future if it's needed. Didn't really feel a need to put him in a vice grip today because what town is gonna d1 ladd lol
- Ender I saw your reply about Vanta and am acknowledging it but didn't want to put it in a separate post. Has anybody's take on Vanta twigged you?
- hally seems ok, possibly even T H R E A D S P E W E D atp
- Visor is a person I have not yet talked about itg
Vote: Gemma
again, should be around at EOD to participate in nonsense if needed
