self pres? ohhhhh self preservation

you've got 3 hours and 49 minutes until the poll closes

@fingersplints why not vote now? you don't scumread Dennis? it's not a guaranteed way to save yourself but it's pretty close

also you only have 1 vote so I'm not sure why self preservation is on your mind already

Because there has been a lot of talk of me, and the last game I played I literally went to sleep day 1 only to see a wagon formed when I slept and I was eliminated
I’ve been playing this game long enough to see I’m in danger today

It’s after midnight for me. I’m deliriously tired but unable to sleep at the moment because I’m sick with worry

There isn’t much point in reiterating my same defences. I think the reasons against me are kind of bull, but it’s a quiet game so someone is going to get eliminated for kind of bull reasons. Just how it is.

RL has been seriously bad today. I might try later but I don’t know that I have the mental capacity for mafia today. Sorry town

I was eliminated the first day. I didn’t read most of that game

I don’t think Sean is being particularly townie, but that’s not really shocking, and I’m a bit hesitant to vote for someone who plays a bit more off after the falcon misvote

I like the Dennis comparison to last game. He is still quite new so while I think he is doing great for being so new, his game differences can be a little easier to notice than some more experienced

I’m thinking about it. Might do rainbow read to sort out my thoughts

Oh lol I should have been able to figure that out but my brain is at like 5% right now

Idk what who woofs means

I didn't want to talk about Sabi or fingersplints because I wanted to see how they both entered the thread today, given I was on late + I'm west coast US which is why I was active when the thread opened late, but I figured most people have lives.

I’m in the UK so the thread opens at sleep time for me, and I sometimes have time to post during the day, but sometimes like today have to wait until kids go to sleep

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 3:43 am I think Wilgy is town. He would have voted Falcon otherwise. So his wagon probably has 1 mafia on it.

There's a maf in the Falcon voters probably.

Other one is off wagon.

Actually kinda how I was feeling just looking at the wagon structure over night and my general thoughts on the game though I usually like to wait a couple days before focusing in on that.

I think I'd agree if we weren't missing votes/engagements.

Wilgy wagon:
Marmot could be wolfin. The early rando drop on me would be an easy enough way to smokescreen.

Oddly enough, I think I townlean Dennis for the 'mistake vote on me' after Cartomancy, I don't think W!Dennis makes that mistake and then admits to the mistake. Given the context of them being busy as well, it makes sense.

Pyxxy could be wolfin, but I think I'm doubting. It felt that they had very little hunting and alot of mechanic poop early. The more recent posts this cycle seems very similar to their NPC game though. the NPC game at least would be indicative of how they play without data.

Falcon wagon:
Sabi got a birthday pass, but needs to start solving this cycle. I think should've known better about a d1 Falcon yeet.

Splints is just a wolf IMO. Voted Falcon when that wasn't a good vote, invalidated mechanical discourse, gave an excuse to falcon flipping green before it was done.

Falcon was town, so I can’t argue that it was a good vote, but my reasons were genuine. I’ve wrongfully suspected him a lot in the past to the point where he is one of the first people I read so that I can look for town signs in him, and I thought that I had figured some out but I wasn’t seeing them this game. Regardless of whatever happens this game, that will be what I am most disappointed in because I thought I could finally read him but obviously still can’t

How did i “invalidate mechanical discourse”? You can check literally every single game I play and it is never something I discuss much but I don’t have a problem when others do. To reiterate as I said, the only time I could see it being a problem is if that’s only what someone wants to talk about as wolves can use mech discussion to look like they are participating more than they are. I haven’t seen that here so it’s a moot point

I don’t think I have an excuse to him flipping green. Only I thought that his flip would generate a lot of discussion, which it has. A lot of people mentioned falcon either way so it gives a discussion point. Better than say your vote for me which also would have had the same result, but would have less connections to make.

Sucks I still can’t read falcon. Thought I was getting better at it

I’m very distracted right now; will try to think about the game later

I haven’t gotten much sleep lately and worried I’m going to pass out on the couch soon, so voting now lest I forget

It’s the most bad vibes I’m getting from anyone, and I think it’ll be a telling flip because everyone has a lot to say about him.

Like, fam, this feels like a preemptive setup for validation on the vote regardless of Falcon's flip.

I never seek validation. It’s just a point that a lot can be learned from this flip.

If I’m wrong, I will fully admit that, and honestly be quite disappointed in myself because I’ve prided myself in my newly founded ability to read falcon.

Ok. Fingers crossed.

I’m also considering a falcon vote, but I don’t have to vote yet

I think Wilgy is ok for now, even though he is putting wrong suspicion on me, it reads like genuine attempts to solve.

In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I'd been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong

I've only got 2 posts to quote for falcon.

This post just reads false to me. Can anyone who knows him well chime in on this?

falcon45ca wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 9:18 am I'm back. Have I missed anything?

Again, pings me as false. Like trying to hard to appear clueless, which we all know he's probably not. Most of his other jokey posts do the same.

He is usually jokey, but he tends to ask more questions like he is trying to figure people out and gauge their responses, which I am not seeing here.

Dennis is one of us now. Playing mafia when he should be doing something else. I’m currently ignoring my children

So far I feel best about Dennis and Marmot. I think possibly Kate and Neon too, but I can’t remember exactly why right now.

I usually try and identify my feelings about falcon early, since I used to misread him ton. I’m not getting the same town vibes I was able to identify early the past few games with him. He’s definitely be POE for me

S~V~S wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 11:22 am Fingersplints; I couldn't remember a thing she said, so I had to read her. Of her 8 posts, about half were about how she doesn't enjoy/engage in mech discussion. Only real suspish discussing post was agreeing with an equivocating post Marmot made about his reads (which to be fair, I also agreed with). I know she is a low poster in general, so I need to see more (especially her reaction to this poke), but what I did see put her a bit wooflean for me.

I don’t generally have a lot of suspicions day 1. I usually try to sort some I feel best about first. I find it helpful to identify who feels best to me.

DrWilgy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 2:21 pm @Marmot can you detail your Splints read for me?

That entry honestly felt the most off. It was very little motivation and an excuse for not engaging in mechanical talk.

Very little motivation sounds pretty standard for me.

Marmot wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 1:45 pm Of the group of townreads I mentioned, the two that I think I could be wrong on are:

Sean: yeah he did the same thing as I did, but I do think it's in Sean's wolf range to do that.
pyxxxy: all of her discussion has been mech-related thus far, and wolves hiding behind mech discussion as their primary content early on isn't uncommon.

^ this

Marmot - solid town read this game. I even did a brief (less than 3 minute) comparison to a previous wolf game just to confirm, and I feel pretty confident about this

Dennis wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 1:07 pm Okay yeah I'm definitely just weird for reading setups

Good to know

Nah, I wouldn’t say that. I’ve know many players who read thoroughly and ask the hosts lots of questions about the roles and what not. People play differently and to me, that’s what makes the game most interesting.

As the say, you do you!

S~V~S wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 12:04 pm Sure. And there may be a reason you don't want to say, and that's cool too. It's Day One and very little has happened. I am probably going to pick my hole based on counting out a number or numbers I like. That's how I pick out super bowl boxes lol.

No, 8 for you and Kate to fight over

I’m going to go for a 4

Dennis wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:58 am To be honest I think seanzie just voting immediately doesn't mean much but I won't forget about it

Mac, do you sign up for games without reading the setup? Or am I weird for reading the setup

I know you asked Mac, but I never read the set up first. I have literally been eliminated before for not knowing my own town win condition.

I don’t mind mech discussion, and it’s not my forte, so I won’t participate much. I only don’t like mech discussion when it’s ALL someone will talk about as it seems like they are trying to be involved without actually

I forgot to say, happy birthday

That was a nice quick read
I don’t like the early voting in a game with non changing votes. I haven’t read the roles yet, so unless there is a role that knows hole information, I can’t see the benefit of rushing to vote to get a certain hole.

Good morning game
