I thought the day started at a different time than it did because of the time change

not like wholly an emoji read but mostly wholly an emoji read

I don't care. I have posted things like that so many times as town. I don't even know if it's true. It's narcissism.

it's about the wording a bit more than the idea

Why not? It's intended to shame-inspire the rest of us.

yeah maybe good point

My mental model of the game arbitrarily estimates a 35% chance of PA flipping mafia. Everyone else would be less. Poopy, but there you go.

yeah sounds about right

yeah, it's true, it's a towny thought, you'd think it if you were town, but I don't really imagine you posting it if you were town

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:23 pm I wonder how many posts this thread would have right now if I was mafia. Or if I wasn't in it.

god do I hate posts like this

Not that that’s a good thing

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:30 pm I'm going to be straight:

I have no clue about this game. My reads do come from my brain, but they feel barely better than arbitrary. I am not even close to finding comfortable footing or knowing what I am doing in this thread. While that is attributable to some degree to the state of the thread itself, I am probably also tired, old, and out of practice.

You could also be Maf
Unless activity level changes do you think we ever catch W Jay this game?

At this rate he’s the most likely chop tomorrow tbh

As Daniel Negreanu says, everything you do at the mafia table conveys information. Can’t be loosey goosey eating a sandwich

Yes I’m aware that at a level 1 reading this phrasing would be an implication that I do not have BTSC with Moto and thus would reveal percentage points of valuable information.

Why though

Don’t really want to talk about it too much at this stage.

Got concerned that Leetic was 3-posting for a second there

I think I’ve got long con reading down lemme read his sevenish posts

What is my read on the game?

Going by your no/yeses and also your general statements of coherent game relevant information, even if I think you shouldn’t be saying them (including the phrasing of the recent post about falcon and questions)

Scotty wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 6:15 pm TSP pushing against voting the counter wagon to himself is a choice. Definitely something I would do as wolf to appear town, but is that something he would do?

Well now I’m pushing it as a wagon but I hear what you’re saying about it.

3 in game

We haven’t played together in a long time and we’re both (I think) independently rusty so it’s hard to get a solid read

now time to out the Jay scumread probably but like I’ve been lampshading it and I also think he has probably the right read on the game so it’s hard to complain too much

isn’t(?) being sated?

Vote: Simon

But I don’t think she’s getting out of POE and I don’t think she’s a PR and that’s good enough

Do I think she’s a wolf? Eh.

What's your fav wolfy post by the Princess?

Not about posts. I was concerned about the fact that it’s possible that she did not have time to claim and was not going to be around.

I just looked again through TSP’s iso and it reads like a henna tattoo. I ain’t paying full price for that

[VOTE: TSP] aubergine

what does that even mean

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 12:53 am I have developed an impression that Scotty might be schmoozier with me when he is mafia than when he is town. It may be Ted Lasso Mafia bias, or it may be meaningful. I believe it also happened in the ancient times (Easter Mafia).

He opened by being schmoozy with me.

I think you’re saying these things too early to find them useful

Ok update I’ve read P_Abi posts and I now think she’s a fine vote

Everyone is quiet

Agree with father that of the children Simon strikes me as the most wolfy

Dichotomy between falc and tsp wtf

Yes I’m aware of the situation

I don’t think abi is a good vote

This post pinged me. I experienced a ping.

I will share why soon enough. Before I do, anyone else in the crowd should provide a guess about why this post may have pinged me. What do you think, gang?

I also experience a ping a ling with that first one

And the second one…what was even the point of it besides offering the very minimum?

complaining

What's your Wilgy read?

Can’t get a sense tbh. Would gth town in a vacuum but no post-meta sense

hey idk I’m trying the Jay strategy

Not to inflict this game with some creature pessimism but I’ve seen better starts

I’m back to 10v3 though, masons are pretty powerful in a setup, probably 1-2 other town PRs. I’ll check out the flick and get a better idea

Gotta start somewhere

Falcon’s a wolf idk

I also also don’t like giving LC too much credit for not reading setups

Also like theoretically I don’t like that Jay folded to Epi so quickly but like no one else joined in so not sure who he could have waited for in the counterfactual

Now granted there is no one else in the game to talk about so can’t gripe too much about attempts at discussion

I know this is straight from the Jay’s Guide To Day 1 Towning but it feels a bit contrived

The only reason Kage isn’t explicitly town is because there’s mech stuff about forcing a claim that doesn’t work out so well (and probably flavour)

Oh update it wasn’t that

You think that I’d be more confident as town. Two qualifiers. Reasonable read. But better reasons to qualify that aren’t identity-based.

Kage ought to be counted as town, no reason to do otherwise. I’d kinda suspect 2 over 3 with the double kill mechanic but that’s a bit shaky. No real idea.

I refuse to reveal information about my identity or role
