gg everyone! Dennis, you were a hero! Kate, your first hosting gig was great, so now you’re going to work on that 2 mafia team game with at least 24 players, right? Please say yes?

The way people keep vote jumping, I'm going to put my vote on Dennis. At one point, it was 3to 3, and probably will be again
[VOTE: Dennis] aubergine

falcon45ca wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 2:59 pm @Matahari So your SR are Myself, Epi & Wilgy? And then IF splints, also Roxy...if EOD is in 10 mins, who are you voting for?

Why did you find Neon scummy?

I said on day 1 that Neon took some heat and then disappeared. I had very little else to go. Then she came back the next day and posted that she plays the same in every game. I didn’t find that to be true, because she was quite different in this game as compared to the last three games I had observed her Town play. She even stated in the last game that she posts a lot more memes when she’s town, but she didn’t post near as many as she did in the other games, so I chose to keep my vote on her. There was one other thing, her defense of Six felt a bit hollow, or maybe ‘safe’ is the right word. Just saying he’s new as a reason for not voting him excuses her no matter how he flips.

GTH- I might go with Epig at this moment because he’s playing a safe game too. Not the best reason in the world but GTH

I’m hoping to reread Dennis before voting time, since my betters don’t entirely trust him.

Let’s see, Wilgy, Dennis, and Roxy have all commented on my last game being very different from this one, and Roxy compared this game to a game where I was bad, and really played badly . I’m not even sure what I did that was so towny last game but if I figure it out, I’ll be sure to use it in future games.
Ok I see your points, but then again, I don’t see your points. I believe the three of you are ignoring more important things when trying to solve. But oh well. Some games I click with right away, others not so soon or at all. But maybe this game will end the question of judging me by how I play.

Ok, as far as who I suspect, I still think the mafia will be made up of players who haven’t been suspicious at all. Like Falcon, Epig, Wilgy these guys either haven’t contributed much, or seemed all super-solvey. Yesterday I might have added Seanzie in there but today he seems to be doing a lot of research and trying to solve, so I decide to trust him. I’ve thought Dennis was Town most of the game, I’m still not sure I see a wolf there.
I don’t know about Roxy and Splints. I’ve thought Splints was good, then bad, but I used to always misread her. If she is wolf, then I believe Roxy is too.

Wait, so you're in favor of voting off solvey players who aren't sus at this point? And you trust Sean, cuz they're solvey?

not in favor of anything, in case you couldn’t tell by my extreme doubting of everything I’ve said so far. I haven’t paid much attention to Seanzie so far because he was mostly vouching for people. And today, he’s actively trying to solve so I would want to see how that goes. Actually, I could say the same of you, you’ve been in solve mode today too. I would not be surprised though, to find out that the mafia is made up of players who have appeared townie all game

Why are you TR Dennis?

I haven’t seen him in a wolf game yet, and I thought he seemed townie in most of his posts. I could be wrong, but I just didn’t think anyone had very convincing posts about this being his bad game. If it is, then I’ll know in the future

Why is roxy a wolf off splints wolf?

I feel like they have been working in sync, and maybe it’s just because they know each other so well. But I can’t not consider that they might be teamed.

I’m going to speak now, rather than waiting for the second half of day 2. Some of you may really think I’m mafia, but I think if I was, my team wouldn’t have let me play such a crappy game.
If I had to make a guess right now at who the mafia team is, I’d look at the players who didn’t post much at all until now. I would think Falcon and fingersplints and possibly Epig. I think Lemonfairy is the only person he engaged with much, a little with Seanzie, so he would be a fair guess for that group. But maybe Falcon Fingersplints and someone else, Six maybe. The third person could be Roxy, I’m not sold on Roxy faking a bit of suspicion on fingersplints, and then the lack of fingersplints replying to Roxy about it. It seems more like the only way a half-hearted fake suspicion, with no back and forth posting between the two of them about it, would work is if they were on the same team.
Anyway, I’ve been extremely useless this game because I still don’t have any hardcore suspicion about anyone. Just a bunch of maybes. If I have to go down as a townie, I wish it would have been earlier. This is crunch time, and I’ll feel extra responsible for letting my team down now. In hindsight, I think Neon was right when she said that we would lose. But someone’s gotta go, better LHF than someone helpful. I just hope that some of you players who are really good at solving will see through the ‘steering’ type posts and the insincere ones and come up with the right answer.
If anyone wants to ask me why I said this or that, feel free to ask. I’ll be around until I’m not.

[VOTE: Neon] aubergine voting her again because I don’t see her former town game and because I didn’t think her defense of Six was sincere.

Apologies for this very wordy post, why use 3 words when you can use at least 7? Also, I know absolutely nothing at this point, so you’re about to get a sample of how my scatterbrain works.
Probably Town: Roxy
Surface Town: Dennis, Wilgy, Epig
PoE: everyone else

This is not terribly helpful so I’ll use another method- who would kill SVS on night 1? She is brilliant as either affiliation and so is Epig and Wilgy. So why choose SVS? If it was because the mafia figured she would read them, then I would suspect one/some of Epig, Wilgy, splints, and maybe Dennis or Six.
If it was because SVS had not suspected them yet, or had backed off of them, then nearly everyone ??? This one makes me look a bit harder at Neon and Lemon.
Neon is not playing the way she played in her town games that I have seen, which I said before-3 Town games is not much to go on. But it’s all I have to work with so I’m not going to ignore it. I would have to add Falcon in here also. I don’t think he’s playing the same as the only 3 games I’ve seen him in (he was Town in those games)
Now, here I go with my not-so-deep thoughts that will probably mean nothing, but it’s my process.

What if neon and Lemonfairy keep voting each other without even trying to persuade the town of why they think the other is wolf? Does this feel like bold distancing, or is this just how some people play? Does it mean something or nothing? I find it suspicious, and would appreciate feedback if anyone has any thoughts on this.

The players I’m most worried about are Falcon, Splints, Neon, and worried (but a little less) are Lemonfairy, Seanzie, Six.

happy Easter to everyone who celebrates today, and to everyone who celebrates next week (myself included)

@fingersplints thats fair, it’s the same thought I had when SVS was killed. I wouldn’t suspect Roxy for it, because we were both on a mafia team a few weeks back and one of the team wanted to kill Dennis or SVS on night one. Roxy and I both revolted, because it was Dennis’s first game and because SVS historically gets killed on night one. I would fight tooth and nail not to kill her night one, but you only have my word for it so, fair.
I do think someone who felt safe in the thread, but not bts, decided it was a good time to yeet her. While she wasn’t suspicious of them

@Dennis i feel your comment on Six. I don’t like suspecting new players, it took me forever to start feeling comfortable with decision making when I was new, and even now, returning to play when the game has changed so much. So maybe he is Town and really made himself finally commit with his vote. But I just couldn’t help feeling like his vote was a team pressured vote. That was my first reaction to it, so idk

@DrWilgy i haven’t made any trustworthy associations yet. There has been so much pocketing, or ‘you’re bad’ without a lot of explanation, everything has just been so black and white, and associations come from the subtle posting (gray areas). I have upended my GtH list though and I’m starting over. I am working on a POE, and I’ll post it later today.

just something I wanted to mention earlier, I really think that OG and NG can play this game together, even if solving styles are different. Just need to respect each other's differences, maybe?

RIP SVS and Syn.

[VOTE: Neon] aubergine unless something changes in the next hour and a half.

@Neon thank you.

@DrWilgy - you are feeling less involved this game, doesn't affect your alignment tho I feel like I am having a hard time gauging your reads. Some feel a bit forced but I am unsure what or if that means anything. I am feeling townish from you but Imma need more from you, pretty please.

@Epignosis - Hi buddy <3 been sooo long since we have played together. So has you style changed? That remains to be seen. What I have noticed is that you are QUIET. Not at all like I remember. You have given a couple of insights but tbh I am really unsure of who you suspect or why. Can you help out the town by giving a rainbow or reads list?

@falcon45ca - hey I hope my read on your tell is accurate bc right now it is saying you are town. Thanks for this as I am unsure about a number of people this game.

@fingersplints - yes I lean town on you. It's the splints I know and love. I am so happy to playing together again. <3 What are your thoughts inre: Neon, Dennis, Epi, Mata, Six and Seanzie?

@Lemonfairy - I have already said you came out of the SVS vs the "Um What" fiasco looking the best to me. You felt Town to me. I am digging the way you seem to be vibing this game. Why do you think Syn seems townie vs why Epi seems bad? Why are Mata and Six in your list? Is it bc they have not said much or is it what they have said?

@Matahari - Yay!! We are playing together again. I am looking forward to your reads and am hoping to sort you after it.

@Neon - you bad. You seem to be playing in the same fashion as last game and I cannot let it go rn. After the "um what" crazy that you helped perpetuate you seemed like a player who was mad bc no one wanted to buy what you were selling about SVS. You are not adding anything new to the game and will not give reasons for your actual votes/suspicions and I find that suspicious in and of itself.

@Seanzie - You seem quite fluffy except in your defense of falcon. What are your actual thoughts on the game state. GTH reads if you would pretty please.

@SixStrings - welcome back. You gave some insight about SVS during the whole "um what" discussion while awesome to join in I feel you need to say way more than what you have. You do not know any of us but still like I asked Seanzie - if someone is holding a gun to your head what are your reads at this moment of each player?

@S~V~S - at the time of me defending you I really was not sure about you hence my " I don't speak for SVS" thing. Since you have posted more I do feel like the same as splints. I can call you town.

@Syn - hey, yeah I mentioned in an earlier post that you came out of the whole "um what" party looking like a baddie who lost his chance to take down a strong player. And then said something about pocketing and waiting to see if you were right until D 4. Why wait? Hunt baddies now. You didn't find one with SVS so why give up the towns goal of hunting a baddie and elimming them?
Amusingly I play the same as both alignments so I'm not polarized.

Weird I know.

I’ve only seen you in three other games. You were town in all of them, and very different than in the beginning of this game. That could be for any number of reasons, so I’m trying not to look at that. Three games is not a lot to go on.

Falcons last post said he’d rather be axed on day one when he’s a wolf, and then he’s not been back. Is he making a statement with that?
Syn openly said she’d rather not play for reasons, and it makes me wonder if she is wolf and unhappy with day one suspicion.

I’m asking for general input, but not sure I’ll get it, so I’ll just choose who to put a vote on later.

why for splints and wilgy?
maybe explain Epig too

I think GtH can be superficial, but it can be helpful too. I’m not 100% sure of anyone this early, but I GTH’d, and decided that those people appeared to be Town to me. And yes, I know I could be wrong, but just guessing on performance so far.
Epig seems to be straightforward, not creating chaos ( which I associate more with his wolf game),
Splints - is such a good wolf that it’s hard for me to decide on her, just using meta. So looking at her posts only, I’d say she’s actively scum hunting.
Wilgy- same as Splints, I rarely read him correctly, but his posts are screaming Town.

@S~V~S I wish I had some great insights, but I don't. One of the issues with being a slanker and just reading posts looking for sincerity and motive behind posts, and such, is that sooner or later, people post again and answer any questions I might have had.
There are 4 or 5 players I am unfamiliar with, and it's difficult to understand them. Neon and Falcon have suspicion on them, and they have sort of disappeared. If anyone who is familiar with them knows whether that indicates anything about their alignment, please post about it?
Of the players I have history with, I have to say, you are all the players I could never read, including our host. Epignosis, SVS, Splints, and Dr. Froggie being the most difficult. Sometimes it takes a couple days for me to settle on alignment for y'all. These are my best guesses so far:
Town: Splints, Wilgy
Lean town: SVS, Roxy, Epig, Dennis
Undecided: everyone else.
I'm sorry I'm not more help on this, but it's early still.
I've had doubts about several players throughout but then after more posting, the doubts were cleared up. So I'm sure I'll change my mind again as the game goes on.

I am just happy you are playing

pls see the post I just posted a couple of posts back

but if you're too lazy to scroll, I'll just say it here
Syn is a town viberead

and I think this might be a good viberead and not one of the ones where I'm just relying on feeling only because I have found some things that are decent indicators of towniness and it's not just one post

Thank you. I’m not too lazy to scroll, I had just finished reading your list, so I had my answer. I have never played with either of you, so it’s hard to find ‘decent indicators of towniness’ when I haven’t seen either of you as mafia.

I would like to hear more from @Syn also, other than the one liners, but maybe that’s not her style.

It’s not that I expect everyone to have solid cases on everyone else on day 1, but I like to hear players thoughts on others, even if the thoughts aren’t solid yet.
