well I don't really feel like checking but I'm pretty sure I voiced town reads on Marmot, Falcon, and 112 before you...?
and it's not like anyone is gonna be townreading any of the orange names at this point
Nah I gave Marmy a town lean before u did, and 112 is the only read we disagree on, I wouldn’t call him town outright.
Pretty sure we came to the same conclusion on Falcon at around the same time but I think I talked about it first, I’d have too check.

I like MissSparkles.
We don't have to eliminate her by Day, if some of you suspect her.
Let's exile her instead. She stays alive if town, and she counts as one of the three if she's bad.
obvious misinterpretation of the setup mechanics, but in a towny way? obviously you could argue scum coming in and trying to willfully argue for incorrect strategy but i would expect they would expect to have someone call them out on their incorrect reading of the rules, so such an endeavor is pointless, whereas more likely he thought this was a potential way to win the game for town

Well I'm definitely not stealing reads, and I doubt any other player in the game would have posted a wildly different list than that.
I went back and checked the Falcon read, and I gave him a town lean first then u came in also with a townread and expanded on my “idk falcon but this feels town” feel I got from Falcon. So really we got there together.
I’m satisfied with your answer, you’re right, nobody else has really done much else. So looks like we’re mindmelding. The beauty and the beast even.
Still would like to see more Gengar. Humpty Dumpty is super corny in comparison
actually I lied, I'm back for one more post: if the cop gets an early clear (I'm talking day 1-2), he should just out it and we perma-exile that player to avoid triggering the traitor exile win con. this is boring and it absolutely sucks for the person getting exiled but it's clearly optimal, the chances of getting a false clear early are very low so it's fairly safe and also keeps the daycop in the game

idk
If wolves can't kill cop, wouldn't it be better to not exile the cop and earn some results that could be potentially helpful? If we're wrong N1 we're only 1/3 into losing and a cop inno could be pretty useful for future exiles.

I'm pretty much going to ignore trying to get reads on people I haven't played with before. New site and new setup is overwhelming as it is.
I'm Marmot from the Lizzymarm account in the hydra we played on MU recently
(I also played Congress of Vienna, though dunno if you followed that one).
I did follow Congress a little actually. Crazy game.
We also played video mafia together the other week.

This is not a bad idea, best one yet as far as exile strategy goes.

I wonder how we'll find the traitors
Do you think the traitors will try to contact eachother? Should we look for softs?
This?
Yeah sure, it's the same reason as for why I'm voting Creature in the first place. I'm not as confident in cat's post but I get it.
I think it's a bad idea to yeet someone based on only one post, but it's not like I have more to go on at the moment so sure.
I think wolves are going to be really awkward in this setup so they might be easier to hit than normal. Cat and creature might both be wolves.
I mean it’s a really bad opening post, obvi we give them time too respond, but like i doubt i’m gonna persuaded to go elsewhere after that opener, I’m pretty confident about this read tbh.
Why creature? I mean I could take a look but yea i’m lazy and you’re online ;$
MissSparkles wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 2:58 am
Oh nvm, i see what u mean re: creature’s post. It literally says HOW TO FIND TRAITORS and then Cat responds.
Seeing it again now, it looks like two traitors finding each other lmao
Is it really gonna be that easy lmao
Probably not but it should be addressed regardless.
Also online = my PC is on. Don't trust me to be around ^^' Just tried Witcher 3 a bit before heading to work. I have opinions. But I don't hate it as fiercely as I hated Witcher 2 when the tutorial was done, so it's an okay sign.

Actually yeah this. If we can be reasonably confident that the person who is cleared was not targeted by a frame (which works for D1) then I think this is optimal.

current standing
Not Chopping: KZA - yes this is KZA
MacDougall - cop, wants me to die as is tradition
Marmot - My gut is on a hot streak reading Marmot off his openers so I'll trust it again
falcon45ca - Good ol Falc
112 - I enjoy the brazen FoS of Sparkles and think the thought process has looked good. I'm not really concerned about being called stilted by them it happens to me a decent amount as town
MissSparkles - High posting, asking decent questions, doesn't seem to care about creating friction with other players
WimI - Kinda mixed thoughts here. Is posting a lot, but has seemed kind of, idk friendly/agreeing with a lot of people which could be at traitor attempting to integrate quickly. This could just be playstyle thing too. I'll wait and see if they get a little pointier. I do like their mech plan from early. Either way I'm probably not going here today.
Currently Willing to Chop: KGMurphy
Long Con
Gira
Creature
Poison
Wisdom
cat
Auwt
these are lower content slots to this point so I'll just wait and see who posts themselves in to towniness
So we basically have the same reads then? I’ve posted and gave reads to all the same players u have just didn’t MAKE A LIST. Mindmelding town or scum leech? Go on tell me why it’s a mindmeld and not a leech situation, here’s the mic 🎙
Although I’d swap out Wiml for 112. But I can see where you’re coming from re: Wiml.
The thing regarding me is indeed personality indicative (well, it mostly comes when I don't know many people because my tone of writing tends to be a bit harsher than I'd like but w/e).
I'm actually a pretty active player on MU currently so I have a lot of meta for being overly polite / overly confident in early reads / solving via going "if I were a wolf" as town anyway.
Yeeting based on interactions is impossible this game and I’d look closely at people doing it, it would be a try to look productive/good tactic here.
Not saying that’s what Wiml is doing here though
It's not impossible. Like for example right now i'm seemed suspicious because of my question. What we can analyze is how people react to it. Who thinks i'm wolf, and who thinks i'm town? What's their reaction? Stuff like that.
My reading comprehension is sometimes hit or miss lol.
I interpreted that you were saying it was wolfy because you interpreted it as it being something like a purposeful mention by cat to either soft lost wolf or to nudge other lost wolves into trying to communicate and/or being wary of getting spotted (even if they didn't realise it was a post from a lost wolf).
What I'm trying to say here is that I think the post is wolfy but for a slightly different reason actually looking at it again. I think a lost wolf comes into the thread with thoughts about teammates on their mind (communicating with / finding / etc) and I think that it's >rand likely for a lost wolf to unconsciously bring up the topic of communication between lost wolves in this way because it's something already on their mind coming into the thread (and therefore making them more likely to mention it). So a small TMI slip pretty much as opposed to a purposeful soft.
That's the difference I was trying to suggest, at least.
I get what you're saying, i was thinking something similar, whether wolves will try to find eachother and team up or play for themselves and just powertown as much as possible. That's why i asked it to begin with.
Wiml wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 4:13 pm
Yeah I agree with what Wisdom pointed out about Creature also. There are some posts there that are really awkward (on the topic of finding lost wolves particularly) and I can see them as LW softs too.
I don't think everything is a LW soft

112 goes into my scum list for that one. Not AI as far as i know but personal pet peeve.

tbh what i've posted is entirely not out of scumrange, but also everything in this setup is entirely trivial to fake and getting real reads is next to impossible
on a technical level this isn't really mafia but YOLO
How do you read D1? Just assume everyone is 3P, lol.
What's your overall thoughts? Like, not reads, just general thoughts about the gamestate.
I like that i'm the center of attention. Don't like the conclusion that i am a scum softing traitor, and what don't like that there was more discussion about cop and exiles than what traitors gameplan is going to be. The cop is irrelevant, and just exile town. Let's talk about traitors instead.

Disagree. I thought about talking traitors gameplan and ended up thinking I'll probably help traitors play properly and I'd rather not. I'll save that until later.
Do you think thread has been town or wolf-controlled?

I think what's wolfy is being scared of talking about traitor. The thread is controlled by fools. If you don't know what to look for what are you going to do? I've seen multiple people complain that they don't know how they will solve the game already.

I know what I'm looking for, but I'm not gonna say "Good wolves plays like this" because that would probably help wolves more than town.
Are fools more likely to be town or wolves?
I think I said as much but I agree a lot with what Wisdom is saying here.
I also have a couple of things I want to add along the lines of "I think a traitor would do X" or etc but doing that now just either exhausts tells so that they become pretty much useless or gives the wolves ideas on what to do / what not to do.

This.
I'm gonna out wolves when they've done wolfy stuff to push and kill them.
I'm not gonna talk about how wolves are gonna play this game because they will adjust and be even harder to catch.
Aight, I planned to read everything and then comment but I must comment.
1. It's not like Mech talk is bad and not appreciated in a game like this where some new mechs are there and we should talk about it, but the whole Miss / turtle conversation had at least one person who had irked me, seemed like pushing too much and their moto in the game is the exile. I cannot pin point who though or for what reasons, but when I read it altogether it just gave me a vibe. Both of them went hard on exiles from the very start which I was not exactly expecting tbh.
2. I have no idea what's going on with exile, I asked it thrice now, no replies but I'll try to re-re-read the opening post.
3. Mac's continuous cop claim is something I would believe in atm.
4. I saw them mentioning "lost wolves" and no nk, now that's interesting and might actually be easier for town to win as a whole but hard to pinpoint the wolves. At least it would be hard to find them through the buddy tales and all.
