I reserve the right to withdraw the town read at any time. =p Literally just the first thing that I felt laying my eyes on the game.

@tedxtr in the post you just made that shows a picture of the vote (I think) it's too small for me to see what you've written in. Can you walk through it in text?

I don't know what to make yet of @NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME. I have a bad feeling about him but I think it's stemming from the fact that so many of his posts seem like he's irritated and I don't know that "irritated" is AI in his case. JJJ posted some links to him in other games which I need to take a look at after work.

@Jackofhearts2005 you said you think @nutella is bad because of Wim and opportunism (and the waffle part but you explained what you meant by that). I've always had a problem with this whole "opportunism" thing - can you point to an example in her posts? Also, what is it about her WIM that pings you?

I noticed someone (can't remember who) commenting on the fact that Michelle was not around posting last night as a bad thing because as a civ she usually posts a lot and is around a lot. If I'm remembering correctly she is not around at night because she is is in a timezone that puts her in bed when it's still early in the states. I'm not saying I lean town on her, I haven't seen enough.

I hope this afternoon to at least give some town leans though I struggle early with reads especially in a two mafia set-up. I should be back between 2:00 and 4:00 EST.

Lots of linki I didn't read.

This post suggests that nanook is unaware there are two mafia teams.

This post suggests that Nanook is spewing nonsense.

I was gonna say it's a good look for you

I mean it’s nonsense, but also even if you take it seriously I referenced the increases KP from two teams existing like 5 posts before this, so

Noticing a TR for me from Dizzy, and I prefere to take it as such because in a multiball with 3rd parts it's harder to think me for town core as being pockety.

Nutella wanting a Dizzy vs Sloonei fight noted. What if it's between 2 townies @Nutella ? It would be a beneficial one?

Nanook and Master Radishes giving me some odd vibes, it may be nothing.

I mean, it would be juicy content, so yeah? But also I don't feel quite the same way about them now as I did at the time of that post so idc

S~V~S wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 7:37 am One last thing, did anyone save the Zero poll?

Linki Nanook, thanks for the reply. It really did not feel that way to me, but OK. On my way out the door, will think about this and get back to you later, bye!

S~V~S wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:48 pm Regarding strong reads, I think civs need to be hyper aggressive this game becasue of this:

Hosts with the most said:


Ghosts

When a player dies, their ghost remains in the thread for three more phases. A ghost may post on-topic thrice-twice-once, in successive phases, in dead-red text. A ghost can claim its Win Condition.

Have you ever had that moment in a game, right after you died, when suddenly, it was all clear. Yeah, we all have. The baddies are gonna have to try harder to be blendy this game becasue of this, not be over aggressive, becasue it's gonna be harder for them to blow off a mislynch with the victim still in the thread. It's gonna be harder for them to just NK people who get up in their grilles if the victim is still in the thread.

I am always a pretty aggressive civ, but I tend to try to hold reads close to the vest becasue I don't want to paint targets on civs or give a baddie the heads up that they are under suspicion; sometimes I like to watch and draw them out, to see if they slip. But I think this is the game for full reads.

Spoiler: show

I want to see how the Zero poll plays out. Right now I like Nanook, I like sig, I like Nutella. I don't dislike Jules, TH, Jay, or Ted. I am not feeling Chuck so much or Sloonei. Sloonei getting all aggressive with sig rubs me the wrong way, becasue this is something I seem to recall seeing Sloonei doing fairly often, getting in sigs face. It's an easy stance for Sloonei to fall into. My thoughts on Chuck are wrapped up in his poll vote

Most everyone else is gray for me, or someone I am actively waffling about like Jack or G Man. I know G Man is hiding from G Woman, which I know was always a thing with him, but what little he wrote, meh. So him and Jack aren't really grey, but I could go either way. Some of the gray people, like Epi, Mac, and Tranq, are people I like to sort early, but it's Zero, so

I don't think I played with Michelle before; I did play with Dyslexicon, but not enough to have a basis of comparison.

I also see that Dom, Colin, Dragomir and Sabie have not checked in yet.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 12:13 pm I don't think a favorite ice cream poll is at all alignment indicative for anyone. Like my favorite ice cream flavor doesn't fluctuate with my alignment.

Nobody is actually getting lynched for an ice cream flavor vote so even Michelle/Sig saying "Bet there's a scum here in the vanilla voters" could be the barest of distancing. Not that I think either of them is necessarily scum with a vanilla voter, just that I wouldn't even rule that out, it's such a nothing thing.

I can tell you why. Because is the flavour who's enhancing the taste of chocolate ice cream when you put it together

Chocolate ice cream is also an acceptable answer.

If you have an unrefined palette.

2. I didn’t know nutella played league of legends, that’s hilarious
3. I’m excited to find out which games made the cut for this years mechanics
4. I will win the game of champions again this year. As I have the past 3 years, you can count on that.
