because townread people are already incentivized to die, and with their death goes the permanent powerboost from alison

so making alison turn null people into trackers, and then forcing those people to out their tracking result could produce some good content to solve alignments from, no?

even if we are worried that people might lie, it will still technically solve and produce content

while I haven't been in the game much

to me it looks like this could fail for two reasons

1) They could be very silly or its just a personalized way of reacting to stuff
2) "Look towny" is a very broad thing because there are so many ways one can be town but not look it and vice versa

so how come they are your biggest scum out of the 27 players so far

is there like more evidence than just 1 single thing is what I would like to know more tbh

I don't play at mafia scum Martin, but I am playing with mafia scum peeps at MU and here.
Please find a real reason for your read
it's the only reason I got so far :shrug:

if a "real reason" is reading the last who-knows-how-many-posts-in-this-game and then vomitting out reads based exclusively on content

then I can't do that I gotta cut corners and find something I can reasonably trust

I think I've seen scum say similar before, but generally to partners rather than townies. I have a weak townread on Michelle just because of the amount of content she's giving and that she seems fairly comfortable (and I think those things are AI for her).
So do you think such a read by me at that time (either by how it was formed or what it is) is wrong?

Or are you just giving an example or note for something that you think is >rand town but not impossible for mafia to do or say?

Like you basically start off saying that "Mafia can do X" or they have in the past under X circumstance, then not comment on the plausibility of it, and then for some reason give your own reasons or read on Michelle without ever saying that you think I'm right or wrong for what I thought or did.

Like, this feels and looks more focused on your position with regards to Michelle rather than answering my question in a practical manner.

Also, why is my name on here?
the problem is that I am going to be notoriously unreliable at that point in time given my lack of effort and time into the game

I mean, there's no good purpose to it and generally speaking I like things that have a discerning (i.e. regarding judgment of a subject) purpose to them.

If you randomly select a person then clearly this isn't related to them specifically and thus has no discerning purpose with respect to them.

In short, its pointless and not worthwhile even though it may be interesting IMO

hey @Sloonei

it might sound absurd

but it actually feels like that's what town Thunal says or happens to think about many times

or at the very least I get the feeling I recognize their responses and thinking as if they were from the Grasslands game:

Alison wrote: Wed Oct 14, 2020 8:10 am My issue isn't the read you're making. My issue is that you're like handing out reads left and right for stuff that (in my view) should be close to NAI, and I don't see evidence of the paranoia I'd expect to see from town there. There's a disparity between the substance of the read and the attitude you have towards it that I think can be plausibly explained by you having NAI on the subject of the read.

This isn't to say that townies can never be paranoid about their townreads early. But I think that kind of confidence comes either from a long history or extensive meta on the person, or because they saw something that they thought was really hard to fake. I don't think you believe that the observations you've made about me are at all hard to fake - which makes me question why the possibility I was faking didn't seem to factor into your analysis.
The possibility the person is faking always does come into my analysis, but it's not exactly good town strategy to hedge every single read I make by saying "This looks good, but they could be faking" or "I like these thoughts, but they could be faking them." It's kind of obvious that it's a possibility so I don't feel the need to actually state it.
(DEAR READER: THE ABOVE QUOTE IS IN A PAST GAME. THANK YOU.)

The only problem I could see is this, but I would argue that since it comes into play with their thinking and analysis so often, its probably difficult to keep a consistent behavior of not stating the obvious. Especially since their recent post here, in this game:

Suggests trying to be open with all of their thoughts and that IMO their tone was overall good here, though not to a clearing degree.

Not to mention, them "not stating the obvious" was actually the clear cause of them getting into a TvT for said Grasslands game. (<- Link to a huge post about it)

@dyachei, I hope you will look at this. It goes into a bit how I feel like they're town Thunal.

Now, with regards to what you've said:
dyachei wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 10:07 pm thunal in every game you've towned in that I've seen, you've had a solving spark. in this game you're pretty dull so far

it's concerning and I don't think game type matters
I'm not sure if a "solving spark" is a good enough thing to look into. I mean its a big vague as it doesn't seem to specify if it is looking at, for example, motivation or just the happenstance of actually solving people. Or if its simply gut feeling.

I would disagree with motivation, I feel like they're motivated a fair bit even though they as of late have said they're demotivated.

Additionally, "not solving people" I think they may be more inclined to actually do that more often as mafia unless they're 3p. Reason being that by extension knowing you're a factional evil and all the other evils in your faction, regardless if there is multiball, means anyone who's not you or your buddies is more likely to be town than it is for any town who's unaware of everything.

Not to mention, this has 27 players in it. you could presumably throw out a strong town-read or two and get away with it without boxing oneself in.

If this "solving spark" refers to something else, please let me know.

Would this imply that, if she were somehow mafia, then its not multiball? Just only maybe mafia and 3p's that the town has to deal with?

I mean, I would enjoy this time to develop and see if I can find 3p's, or better yet, a 2nd factional wolf team. And then get promptly executed by D2/D3 for being incapable of not mimicing town! Martin.

@tutuu @MartinGG99 @Thunal33

Would you mind summarizing why you are on Falcon?
There isn't a "summary" because its really simple.

They mentioned their vote like...in a bad way. I was pinged similarly (and correctly) in Shadow Corridors by a sock-puppet responding to someone pressuring them on D0 that "they'll have their vote tomorrow" or something.

Like, I don't know what you think, but towns rarely think publicly of their vote except for like consolidating it / finding an EoD solution.

Additionally, mentioning one's own's vote really doesn't help to solve anyone, and its just weird.

So it just ends up looking like a bad knee-jerk reaction (considering time stamps) to me that was influenced by self-consciousness.

You ISO'd three people in a 3300+ post game in like 10 minutes?
Martin has like 10 posts, and JPIC doesn't have much either, and each of his posts is like 1-2 sentences max. Give it a go, see how long it takes you for those 3
Why on earth do you want to yet a claimed indie

I also haven't been impressed by Falcon other than his consistency in trying to be funny with Gifs.

(Which tbh I kinda view jokes as close to null/NAI, if not scum-lean but that may be just personality differences)

Not to say that's because of Dya or anything;

Part of my town-read on Tutuu is because I think some of the reasons that support her being town rn would suggest against being masons with anyone.

Sloonei wrote: Fri Feb 12, 2021 4:06 pm I have to leave shortly. I won't be around for the deadline. I like my vote on Hyena and encourage others to look there. Here is my most recent argument about him, in addition to things that were said earlier in the phase, pre-claim.

The other multi-vote wagons right now appear to be cat, falcon, nutella, and thunal. If I'm ranking them in order of preference I'd go:
cat
Thunal
Falcon
[A wide gap]
nutella

But all of the nutella votes feel like leftovers from an bygone era way back at the start of this phase a hundred years ago, so I don't think she's a viable wagon anyway. I think I want to leave my vote on Hyena to at least promote him as an option as we move toward the deadline. Thank you for your support, Kyle. I prefer cat over Thunal if things do not change from their current trajectory. If I can keep an eye on the thread while I'm at work, I will, but there's no guarantee of that.

This has been probably the highest volume Day 1 I've ever participated in. Excellent work, y'all. Let's make it a successful one. Keep doing what needs to be done.
I would agree overall with your hyena case, and I'll likely sheep it in the future if there's no one else who should be executed.

However, I do recall the role that was used in U-Pick, which I'm guessing its being referred to. I would like to point out there's a distinct difference between "I can communicate with any dead player" (which is what U-Pick had, I believe) and "I can chose someone who's alive to have a chat with someone who is dead each phase". Regardless though I believe both roles aren't necessarily or inherently towny, but I think its an important distinction nonetheless to make.
Keep doing what needs to be done
"What needs to be done" is for people to not scum-read Thunal. As I've said I feel like they're quite similar, or at least in mindset or thought process, as compared to their Grasslands game.

I really would not like to believe they can replicate that as scum until they prove me wrong. It'll just cause problems for me in future games with them if I keep on fearing "but what if they're just really really good at copying their town game".

quite frankly

I don't even know how forgetting a role was scum-sided in a past game is a scum slip in the first place

I mean, its not like towns don't know if a role is scum-sided or town-sided and that only scum know

like how is that even a "slip", even if we assume that's an intentional omission rather than forgetfulness

I don't remember who started it, but nutella gave some ISOs of Cat in previous games and said that Cat was more like their scum game, and I read the ISOs and agreed. I feel like now they're different from both metas and their reaction to being wagoned looks towny.
okay thank you

but I would caution against perhaps re-reading them for being different after their past games were mentioned.

In that case they may be trying to shake things up regardless of alignment.

Here is Mac's case, or at least the first post (of three)
Reading/lightly skimming the first two

I think that's a satisfactory case and I don't see much or any of a counter argument to it unless we start conjecturing some things of what Cat must've been thinking but never said in a towny light.

I'm not sold on Made though; I've seen (and quite frankly experienced) towns being portrayed as partners to someone as the sole explicit reason of being scum and then getting mischopped for it.
