I mean i'm terrible at reading nook myself but everybody is and at day 1 it's just laziness.

I think Nanook is a beacon of towniness even in 2 posts when he is town. The fact now is NAI is highly suspicious fmpov

I don't have that meta myself but I think I believe that you believe in it.

I don't either, but last game I played with Rondo, he saw fit to insult me for having a low post count, even after I gave a RL reason for it, so I think it's fair to demand the same standard from him.

(also I don't currently have an actual suspects and I'm busy rn and not sure if I'll be around EOD so this is a good placeholder)

Falcon looks fine tbh.

Suggesting hammering slankers eh... not a bad play considering I don't think we have town specials.

Rondo is slanking?

Woo gonna vote there.

This is the actual important part of the mech and should probably not share it for now.

Also everybody should at least read the part of the mech that describes mafia related abilities.

There's no outfield option in the poll.

I read Dolby's strat but I'm not seeing the words "infielders" and "outfielders" in the polls, just some stuff about bases. Therefore the paralysis about baseball continues.

Tbh they always do.

Ok I'm vibing with this.

Unvote.

Dolby wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 3:01 am who in your opinion is feigning ignorance about the setup

bc the whole thread aside from me has basically been saying "i don't understand the mech but sure ill follow Dolby's strat"

Nanook said this too? I probably missed it. I thought at him

This is consistent with how Nook played the panda game though.

Admitelly I don't think consistency is a good criterium to townread people, as much as inconsistency is one for scumreading people.

Dolby wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 3:08 am well ddl and sloonei and porscha all claimed to have tried to read the mech and not understood it

nanook and sexy flanders just said to follow what im saying and I don't think either tried to dig deep

In my case I started reading the mech, understood the non-baseball parts, then started reading the baseball parts and got overwhelmed by the effort required, due to a combination of lots of math and a dozen baseball terms I don't know.

I could probably get it if I wanted, but rn I don't want to.

Dolby wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 2:21 am flanders and nanook, got any reads?

i really only got that michelle is a bit town town

porscha being pretty lost might also be a bit town

I just spent an entire game pretending I believed that Porscha's cluelessness could be faked while being presented gargantuan amounts of dumb tell. It's like I just came out of a parallel dimension where everything is crazy and and I'm still trying to catch up my breath.

This time I'll probably just buy Porscha being clueless, I'm not sure I can go through that again, real or faked.

Hard liner at the hot corner!

This is dumb.

[VOTE: Flanders] aubergine

I motion that we let Dolby plus any other people who have actually read baseball mechanics (should they appear) come up with a strategy (hopefully the same one) and then we all sheep it, and be judgemental to people who don't follow it.

Dolby wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 6:40 pm also i think we should force players who are consensus scum to buy as many advertisings as possible

I actually like that.

However it sounds like a plan that has hard implementation.

I mean, are we really going to police yeet people for failing to advertise?

Btw plz don't let the fact I just played the wolf game of the year in this site make you suspicious of me.

I'm trustworthy. Honestly

Good news is that with the game being short, I can also skip all the baseball related mech talk so catching up will be a breeze.

On the non-baseball stuff, my impression is the best play is to save points for trackers/watchers or guaranteed kills, and stay away from the % chance stuff.

Like seriously this is a runner up for most complicated mafia mechanic I've ever seen and I've once read a setup called "Needlessly Complicated Mafia".

So, I started reading the mechanics but then when we got to the part about the baseball games I had a mental breakdown.

Then I skipped to the items that kill/check/protect people.

Will let people guide me on how to baseball so I get the above items.
