Did you by chance note the post number where you explained why Nanook?

Dig through thread hard.

Dig through Mac ISO less hard, but still hard.

Try easier way first.

Forget that.

Forget about the Nanook vote, or forget about finding easy ways.

I looked at the post counts and hers was the highest surprising number. She’s got 70 posts but I feel like I’ve barely noticed her.

This is a good read and is sorta something I noticed to, but at the same time I feel like Nanook is more insidious as mafia than this. I feel like Nanook has a great understanding of their town traits and nothing in this game would have pushed Nanook into struggling to do that if that was his goal. I also don't like how willing everyone is to sheep my read on Nanook or look to me for guidance there and I am sure at least one wolf is among those who voted or pushed nanook after I did.

he's usually joking/shitposting in abundance but right now he seems almost afraid to talk and his usual sarcasm is lacking

not sure i can give you more than that but my read on him is pretty strong fwiw

Her sus of you seemed real albeit misguided imo, and in general her sequence of catchup posts felt more like how I expect her to engage with the thread as town than not

Nanook as mafia commands more than Nanook as town but it becomes more obvious as the game drags on as you can see his postcount slowly become larger comparitive to the rest of the game, and influential towny voices are replaced with more Nanook in the thread. Nanook as mafia will generally just play optimally, push weak town, distance teammates, lean towards SPK if he feels that he can.

This does not describe his current behavior as far as I can tell. Do you suspect him right now?

[Sloonei]

Nanook is my new mac. I literally have no clue how to read him one way or the other.

I only barely know how to read mac too. I would have sucked in the Season 6 finale.

[MacDougall]

Nanook sadly, also rarely catches mafia bullets because he is rather content to find his towncore and sheep them and let SPK do their thing, which actually makes him a good town player because his townreads are usually very good with only the exception of a few specific people who are capable of pocketing him when they specifically seek to do so. This means that Nanook tends towards getting to the mid/late stages of most games. As town he actually tends to refuse to take up positions of authority until there is literally no other strong town read he has left which tends not to happen until F5 or F3 situations. As mafia he will take up command rather sooner than this and begin to powerwolf and push pro wolf agenda as soon as he feels like the numbers favour his team.

Imagine nutella thinking she can read me

So cute

what about mac scumreading you? if he's still scumreading you not hundred percent sure

I’m writing it off as a lovers spat

If he holds it too long I’ll OMGUS him but we’re not there yet

[tutuu]

nutella is wolfin'

Do you have an explanation for this? Why is this your only read and who did you steal it from?
If you had no reads at all it would be very towny but this sticks out as a sore thumb.

[VOTE: cat] aubergine

i have to reach but there are 0 scummy posts posted itt fmpov so im aiming at this

perhaps cat could be scum for pre-emptively explaining "If you had no reads at all it would be very towny but this sticks out as a sore thumb." to his scumread syn

perhaps, if one was town, its more likely that they wouldnt pre-emptively "reveal their hand" like this to a scumread of theirs

Mom i’m famous

TRUST THE PROCESS BABAY

Martin’s probably that role from Jack that keeps subbing in and out we should def kill it

Jim Nantz hasn't role-claimed yet, so they're probably town.

Jim nantz is forever scum

Nanook's first four posts, which were all there were when Mac first made the original scumread. I agreed because these entry posts felt less comfortable than I'm used to nanook being at start of game.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME how dare you rand mafia without me.

Yeah man it fucking sucks

hottest of hot takes fresh from my griddle

made/nook w/w

Damn caught me already, rip

His reaction to being scumread; this is followed by more snarky joking about bussing Made etc. I think this is decently likely for Nanook to do as either alignment but deep in my tummy it feels more likely to just actually be scum -- similar to my later Wilgy read actually.



Then there's the fruit convo where he gets all mad at me for being a hipster lmao. This may be a dumb read and he's gonna laugh at me for it but. His tone in those posts legitimately felt off to me, I'm not sure if this makes sense but like the way he was engaging in the ""off-topic"" content (he will say nothing is off topic and well the fact i'm reading into it attests to that) was like a wolf who was excited to have something to talk about in the thread and get into a heated exchange just to generate posts. Similarly continuing his la croix argument with hyena where he just posted a series of memes, like he was far too into that. Again I am very familiar with Nanook enjoying banter in the thread but I would also expect him to have tossed out some spontaneous reads by now as well and he hasn't really done that, he's only really shitposted.

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME surely you have townreads by now? You even brought up that you approve of picking early "mason" names as a strategy but you haven't named any townreads yourself and that seems out of character.

I actually think the fact he's given no townreads yet is a really really strong indicator he's mafia.
