Everyone here wants to murder Nanook though.

i don't care. Vig him or something. Flash wagons are bad.

no flash wagons

I'll be voteparking seanzie and done with it

Seanzie and Made seem to be competing for who can have the wolfier EOD.

nanook is probably a wolf skating by but trying to wagon him atp causes more harm than good. Just vote between made and seanzie tbh.

I have a bad headache and blurry eyes and am writing this lying in bed while feeling like I've just run a marathon so I won't be articulate today.

made voting seanzie instead of falcon means he isnt w/w with seanzie probably which sucks because now we have to think hard which of them is the wolf

Tim is super townie here just sheep him Mac.

[VOTE: Seanzie] aubergine

Vote consolidation should probably be happening soon, I would love Made/Seanzie top wagons.

Seanzie's ISO is indeed scummy as fuck.

I am down for killing Made based on what I've seen from him earlier. He is a far superior alternative to Falcon.

[VOTE: Made] aubergine

Falcon wagon is almost certainly on a town by gamestate since it was the highest wagon for no good reason despite Falcon being townie, and all the people voting him were scummy. And now we are at EOD and nothing has changed.

I haven't read up. I've been sick and tired and not posting a whole lot in any game, not just this one. Please summarize the main wagons and reasons and I will try to ISO them before EOD.

This is a terribly scummy post.

Made is scummy.

I was about to say the curmudgeon act is town indicative.

i see you have chosen the pocket mac wolf strategy, I have decided that you are only allowed to do this if you don't question any of my reads

I pestered you about your tutuu read in Fargo and I was town there but I accepted everything you said without question in Shadow Corridors and I was mafia there.

and who won Shadow Corridors?

The mafia did, remember?m

You've been sarcastic yes but you also do clearly want me to stop scumreading you when you didn't seem to care about much else this day phase.

Why does he suddenly start caring that I scumread him if he's just joking around and not taking the game too seriously? Why does he go to the extent of misrepping my contributions to the thread and implying that I've been wrong on my reads recently (I haven't, by the way) to try to undermine me? Are those things typical of town Syn too?

Sarcasm does not actually refute any of the points I've made.

You spend the first 32 posts joking and then when someone calls you out for it you immediately try to convince the rest of the thread their reads are bad, they haven't done any solving and that any reads made 6 hours into D1 are worthless. How outed can you get?

I'm gonna vote Syn again for a terrible re-entrance.

[VOTE: Syn] aubergine

Syn wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 1:13 am meanwhile alison's solving is just saying she's town she swears because of shrines and an unstated ability

I have outed reads + reasons on literally every person that has posted in the thread.

Syn wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 1:10 am alison is continuing her new meta of being wrong about everything

sad

I have not had a game where I was particularly wrong on my reads since Mountain Climbing Mafia which was 2 months ago. This shade is undeserved and you just saw me come out of a game where I had the solve at endgame despite reading approximately 10 posts in the thread so I don't know why you are saying this if not to undermine my credibility.

Just accept it and enjoy being townread by me for once.

Since I have an assortment of shrines to choose from I am actively investigating which Daedra are ,ore likely to supply vig shots. Between spin to win, open wolf claim and dip, and the rest of the antics I think we have an abundance of good targets.

Oh, I see what you were confused about now, you don't get told which shrine correlates to which ability. I do, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm betting the people who have to take a gamble get slightly more powerful abilities compared to people like me though, so maybe it evens out.

fair enough lol, can i ask why

He isn't obvious mafia and I don't like the people voting for him.

And his sitemates all seem to think he is town.

Yeah.

I'm being serious by the way. I scrolled through every one of them and not one of them contains an honest attempt at solving.

Syn has made 32 posts in 9 pages and all of them are fluff.

[VOTE: Syn] aubergine

Quin seems fine here. No problems with their posting at all.

KZA/Kylemii are a pair of weirdos. I wasn't a fan of KZA's "why do people care about Gavial's trolling" post when Gavial is well known for tilting people with strange logic. The "let's form a Canucks towncore" was also sketchy since it seemed a little more motivated by trying to pocket his sitemates than genuinely thinking they're all town. Especially if I am right on BK. Aside from these pings his posting has been fine.

Kylemii's posting has been all ok except for the vote on falcon and a consistent sense of unease I am having when I read his posts. Call it a gut read. I wavered between calling them mixed and calling them scummy and I think I'll call them mixed because I'm feeling nice today.

Not seeing any such tick on Seanzie...I hate mafia open claim openers generally but that's NAI, and I have seen no ticking since. What are you seeing there?

I am not a big fan of the new fad of claiming mafia in your first post. It's usually done as either a reaction test or a joke but I feel it doesn't succeed at either. I've seen a lot of townies get exed for doing it too.

The difference between townies doing it and mafia doing it is that townies do it for the memes and have a laid back sarcastic tone about it all. Mafia plunge deep into it in a very performative way because they secretly feel anxiety that people will believe it and therefore make the theatricality of the claim as obvious as possible. It is also a way to generate what is essentially fluff content and they like leaning into that while claiming it is NAI because they do it as town too. Seanzie's claim is much more scummy than townie. However his lack of follow-up is a slight uptick as it shows that he doesn't have the intention of shitting the thread up with fluff while calling it NAI.

Tim wanting to policy exe Gavial is >rand town from him. I bet if he was scum and Gavial was town he would be laughing his ass off in the scum chat telling his packmates to egg Gavial on to tilt town further and sow chaos.

The reason I think Enrique might be scum is that when I played with him and he was town, he gave a fuck about things, and here he doesn't.

However Scotty has experience with MacDougall and doesn't seem to be a first-time Syndicator so I am doubting the latter explanation.

The site is very different today from Scotty’s time. It’s also weird to me but I understand that’s just how the game has changed...

these words something something [VOTE: enrique] aubergine

Fun fact I've been mulling over an Enrique scumread but this was one of the posts I found most unobjectionable from him. It's likely NAI.

Enrique wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:51 pm I disagree with Alison’s interpretation of the set-up (why make it the same shrine at all if they’re individually different to each of us?)

It seems fairly obvious to me from the way the OP is worded that there will be roles that do things like "protect everyone that visits a certain shrine" or "track someone who visited the same shrine as you".

I am going to just pretend there is no mech and play mafia until I am forced to understand the mech k?

Thats the approach I decided to take after my 3rd time reading the OP.

This might be just a me thing, but I always find it scummy when people focus on mech talk. It's like a way to look like you're playing and active, but they're not actually doing anything to forward town.
I'm not accusing Alison of doing exactly that because she has made some attempts at townsolving, but that means nothing because - Alison.

Since when do I know you well enough for you to be able to say "because Alison" as though you're extremely familiar with the nuances of my meta?

Flanders has upticked slightly since his push on Falcon.

Alison wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:13 pm I really don't believe that Scotty genuinely thinks that me saying I want to form a town circle with Mac and Tim is going to lead to us throwing the endgame because we held onto that one post from page 1 throughout the entire game.

counterpoint: fargo

Fargo was not thrown because people blindly sheeped a read they had page 1, it was thrown because it was widely agreed that there had to be one scum in the troopers and Strawhenge was not a trooper. Furthermore there was plausible deniability as to Strawhenge being a miller since we knew investigation modifier abilities existed in the setup and he was one of the few people who wouldn't claim it immediately.

None of this excuses the throw of course but the point is that it was not a game where locking people town page 1 screwed us over, it was a game where mech bullshit screwed us over.

This wheel read shit is absurdly anti town but it is well within Gavial's town range.
