idk a couple hundred? Nothing has happened and it hasn't even been 24 hours, there's no reason for the average post per player to be in the double digits at this point

nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Cape is a very strong player. Here he has looked quite solid, giving reads on a wide range of players with some amount of depth and originality. I don't think that's out of his wolf range by any means.
Probably correct, though I consider myself better at playing town then mafia, and this is coming from someone who got voted out 2 times day 1 in my last 2 Syndicate games as town, while I curbstomped everyone while I was mafia somehow.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm I of course did not like how he jumped on Chelsea's push of me. I don't recall him giving any take on me prior, correct me if I missed it, but it felt like he tagged along with Chelsea pointing out that I had weak pushes early on
1. Incorrect, I gave this very questionable read about you

he randed mafia
DZ might be right in saying this is a decent look

At least not mafia
Like I made the post about you voting DZ over a pun in RVS like come on.

2. I really don't think it's that hard too see but with reads like #114, #170, #199 (in fact the whole Creature push felt like pocketing Sabi's read). And then there is #339 which just feels like pocketing risinnq now? A lot of these things stuck out to me in terms of you, and to me, I would figure a better player would bring up better arguments to why people are mafia. I get wanting momentum and stuff out of RVS, it's just never my preferred approach in doing so, it feels like pushing LHF for the sake of it which I wouldn't expect a player of your or Quas' caliber to do. Also Quas has the whole thing of being very different to his mash self this game.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm He didn't follow up with a vote despite it landing me on the bottom of his reads list in 674, with a very noncommittal handwave of my early DZ read (not one of the ones Chelsea cared about afaik, so at least he's contributing something new but it feels forced especially since that was pretty inconsequential first-page stuff). He is self-aware of his hedginess and I actually kind of like that when it appears in his posts. I can relate.
I just started looking a lot elsewhere, also I wanted to write that readslist at the same time I also really wanted to sleep, so that sure didn't help me go into great detail on everyone, you can tell the first one I did was risinnq-.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm But I particularly found IAWY's placement in that same readlist peculiar as the description sounded almost on the same level as the one of me.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Like yes he says "towny sometimes" while the only positive in my blurb is that he "liked the bluntness" but this really goes nowhere. He goes on to state that several things from IAWY are either NAI or underwhelming. Which has about the same level of neutrality as most of the blurb about me except that he was able to latch onto Chelsea's push.
The use of "sometimes" was a good hint I was getting tired and didn't wanna actually detail the read. The missing puzzle piece here that distinguishes my read on you versus my read on IAWY was me kind of liking the over-explanation on his falcon vote as opposed to everyone else and I just didn't state it because I had already mentioned that and didn't feel the need to repeat (though it probably would have been good too repeat because stand alone it's confusing).
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Rereading the list most of the other placements make sense but this felt so arbitrary to me. If Cape is mafia and knows I'm not, he knows that I'm usually not a very easy push, but the Chelsea pressure may have opened the door to me being a feasible target.
I will just say this, if you are mafia nutella, you just spewed Chelsea as town after you flip.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm However the primary thought in my head is actually not the idea that Cape/IAWY are w/w. It's actually that Cape is 3P. Cape may very well actually think I am mafia if so. This is a very egotistical part of the read but it's what led me there -- as mafia he'd be less likely to pressure me, because given my meta/reputation if he knows I'm not mafia I am likely to post myself clear. And he brought up 3P factions which is classically >rand 3p lol. I would generally rather hunt mafia primarily over 3p but with 3 of them I don't think we should gloss over their existence.
Counterpoint, the town game I immediately brought up SK on

https://mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?t=2426

I suppose you can counter counter point that and say I literally said this because originally I flipped mafia and had this thought as mafia as I was reading setup, but the game got reranded. OFC I didn't say this as the game was going on cuz duh, but I did get suspicion for that.

Read the first post of the game, there lies your answers.

I noticed it because I was looking for what time the game even starts, reread the thing about 20 times before actually seeing it since it was implied at the bottom
This is my explanation for why I noticed this in this game. I am assuming because of this, there are benign 3p which makes me not want to kill Colin for instance.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Maybe this thoughtdump is all nothing and he's town and I'm hedging on that way more in my head but I wanted to get this out there. The IAWY part is kind of a separate thing I tagged on because I haven't loved his thread position and it could fit. I think both Cape and IAWY are getting townreads for simply writing a lot of words and I want to push back on that.

I don't expect this post to be very popular, I don't have a strong conclusion, he could just be town and this is all spitballing. But fuck it I'm hitting post.
I am town, but I think it's stupid to think that a game solving post being posted would be for nothing. But this is my answer to your post so.

Also to be fair to you, towny post.

Pretty unusual to put yourself in bad vibes tier lol. It's honest self awareness but maybe too honest?

However @TheFloyd73 will surely be pocketed by your lyric selection. ;)

I also like the angles he's approaching things with even if I don't agree with them as I feel like it shows a depth of concern over the game that he wouldn't otherwise show.
Now this is a peculiar read I don't usually see. Usually I find that wolves struggle to fit into to the thread in some way. Do you think IAWY struggles less as wolf to get into the thread?

i don't really get the sense daughter... has a lot of stake in what happens? like it's early on but she's just posting and living her best life. there's no urgency to establish herself
How is not posting any thoughts about the game towny tho? I would assume the lack of stake is wolf motivated.

I am not getting how any of this is legitimate read
daughter's posted a few but they're peppered in.

i'm ... kind of confused how you don't think this is legitimate because the logic feels apparent to me? wolf need to control gamestate to push lims. if person not exerting tons of pressure, and they're not like, prone to completely freezing/inept at posting as wolf, is more likely to be town.

like i don't even feel like it's coasting because daughter is being more blatant about it. "when will i post game related post." is the motivation as a wolf saying something like that to just be... a cheeky, aloof wolf? it doesn't really sit with me as something i believe in.
I get this view, but still seems like it should be a weak read

[VOTE: Guillotina] aubergine

No chance you believe this read :haha:
do u think the read itself is ridiculous or guillo making this read is ridiculous??

cuz ive seen guillo do this a ton
Guillo finding hidden meaning in seemingly simple things is nothing new. But this seemed a tad overboard. Plus this marked Guillo's first bit of content this game and I just do not see the fire right now
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Guillo without fire is wolf guillo.
Wolf guillo wants to cause chaos and get his pack deeper but he doesn't want to get drawn into knock down fights. Town guillo otoh plays a much more freestyle and "aggro-adjacent" game that gets under peoples skin and makes them do weird things to counter him.

That's the best way I've found to catch wolf guillo. Look for controlled chaos and pushes that seem feisty but lack the underlying fire
You know me too well.
We spend a lot of time in and out of games together. You also know me well.
Hmmm yeah and yet Im never confident in reading you correctly though, i dont think ive ever have. You are very good at faking town tone as scum and ive fallen for it a few times. I think the best way to find you is how your scum buddies treat you or the lack of trestment.
I think the last time we played as differing alignments you said something like "I am never town reading you again"

To be fair, slightly scummy on your end.
How? There were 7 pages in two hours of the game being open, and it's scummy to comment on that? I wasn't even complaining; it was just a whoa.

As of the time of writing, pyxxy has yet to post in the game. Pyxxy isn't @'ed in the post either. Did Creature see that pyxxy was online? I can't put my finger on it, but this is odd to me.
Just to answer your question, yes, this was literally discussed multiple times and I am surprised with how much digging around you did for point 1 that you failed to see this.
Just a peek behind the curtain: I tend to write these lists more-or-less as I read ISOs in chronological order. And as far as I saw, pyxxy's online status was discussed multiple times with regards to IAWY, not Creature. My point was that Creature did this after the discussion about angel-shooting.
Cape90 wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 3:51 pm Let's back up to a post between the reads list as you call it, and the vote on Valentine. Creature asks Sabi about what they thought of le petit/Valentine. Sabi responds with saying they aren't a fan of le petit making reads off rvs fluff and they are giving Valentine time til mid day 1. But this might not have been enough to rock the boat. This is where falcon comes in. Falcon makes these two posts right before Creature votes off Valentine before any of the other people that Creature has audibly voiced suspicion on.
I'm missing your point here.
1. Commenting on how many posts there are is sort of a lazy mafia trait. You have shown that you are pretty much the opposite of lazy with your posts though.

2. I didn't notice this was all after that discussion on that subject

3. The point is I was trying to logic out why Creature was on Valentine over his more voiced suspicions. I pointed out the context clues in my post to show that it could have not came out of nowhere like you seemed to suggest with your post.

Probably correct, though I consider myself better at playing town then mafia, and this is coming from someone who got voted out 2 times day 1 in my last 2 Syndicate games as town, while I curbstomped everyone while I was mafia somehow.

DZ might be right in saying this is a decent look

At least not mafia
Like I made the post about you voting DZ over a pun in RVS like come on.

2. I really don't think it's that hard too see but with reads like #114, #170, #199 (in fact the whole Creature push felt like pocketing Sabi's read). And then there is #339 which just feels like pocketing risinnq now? A lot of these things stuck out to me in terms of you, and to me, I would figure a better player would bring up better arguments to why people are mafia. I get wanting momentum and stuff out of RVS, it's just never my preferred approach in doing so, it feels like pushing LHF for the sake of it which I wouldn't expect a player of your or Quas' caliber to do. Also Quas has the whole thing of being very different to his mash self this game.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm He didn't follow up with a vote despite it landing me on the bottom of his reads list in 674, with a very noncommittal handwave of my early DZ read (not one of the ones Chelsea cared about afaik, so at least he's contributing something new but it feels forced especially since that was pretty inconsequential first-page stuff). He is self-aware of his hedginess and I actually kind of like that when it appears in his posts. I can relate.
I just started looking a lot elsewhere, also I wanted to write that readslist at the same time I also really wanted to sleep, so that sure didn't help me go into great detail on everyone, you can tell the first one I did was risinnq-.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm But I particularly found IAWY's placement in that same readlist peculiar as the description sounded almost on the same level as the one of me.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Like yes he says "towny sometimes" while the only positive in my blurb is that he "liked the bluntness" but this really goes nowhere. He goes on to state that several things from IAWY are either NAI or underwhelming. Which has about the same level of neutrality as most of the blurb about me except that he was able to latch onto Chelsea's push.
The use of "sometimes" was a good hint I was getting tired and didn't wanna actually detail the read. The missing puzzle piece here that distinguishes my read on you versus my read on IAWY was me kind of liking the over-explanation on his falcon vote as opposed to everyone else and I just didn't state it because I had already mentioned that and didn't feel the need to repeat (though it probably would have been good too repeat because stand alone it's confusing).
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Rereading the list most of the other placements make sense but this felt so arbitrary to me. If Cape is mafia and knows I'm not, he knows that I'm usually not a very easy push, but the Chelsea pressure may have opened the door to me being a feasible target.
I will just say this, if you are mafia nutella, you just spewed Chelsea as town after you flip.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm However the primary thought in my head is actually not the idea that Cape/IAWY are w/w. It's actually that Cape is 3P. Cape may very well actually think I am mafia if so. This is a very egotistical part of the read but it's what led me there -- as mafia he'd be less likely to pressure me, because given my meta/reputation if he knows I'm not mafia I am likely to post myself clear. And he brought up 3P factions which is classically >rand 3p lol. I would generally rather hunt mafia primarily over 3p but with 3 of them I don't think we should gloss over their existence.
Counterpoint, the town game I immediately brought up SK on

https://mafiathesyndicate.com/viewtopic.php?t=2426

I suppose you can counter counter point that and say I literally said this because originally I flipped mafia and had this thought as mafia as I was reading setup, but the game got reranded. OFC I didn't say this as the game was going on cuz duh, but I did get suspicion for that.

Read the first post of the game, there lies your answers.

I noticed it because I was looking for what time the game even starts, reread the thing about 20 times before actually seeing it since it was implied at the bottom
This is my explanation for why I noticed this in this game. I am assuming because of this, there are benign 3p which makes me not want to kill Colin for instance.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Maybe this thoughtdump is all nothing and he's town and I'm hedging on that way more in my head but I wanted to get this out there. The IAWY part is kind of a separate thing I tagged on because I haven't loved his thread position and it could fit. I think both Cape and IAWY are getting townreads for simply writing a lot of words and I want to push back on that.

I don't expect this post to be very popular, I don't have a strong conclusion, he could just be town and this is all spitballing. But fuck it I'm hitting post.
I am town, but I think it's stupid to think that a game solving post being posted would be for nothing. But this is my answer to your post so.

Also to be fair to you, towny post.
This whole thing feels procedurally generated.
I have had this said about my posts before. I type a bunch of words sometimes.

I just cannot think of anything other then

For now, I just liked Guillo's response to me in #461, it is like Okay now I believe that Guillo believes what they are saying. The lack of further shade from Guillo, or the lack of Guillo shading me for it and instead explaining his POV to me is something that does ping me as a little un-Guillotina like, like I expected a loud OMGUS but whatever.
this post feels weird in retrospect

like i know the lordquas reasoning precedes this post but it feels like. weirdly shoehorned in between two reads that are like there to placate people yk. "yeah i like you two" and then boop sly vote. like the... presentation of it feels a little ?

and i think i'm offput because the general vibe i get from cape90 while skimming is that cape is erring towards townreading people or at the very least unwilling to really push down further than "could be town, could be mafia" anywhere. he feels very... gentle with his approach i guess.
So because you cannot simply unvote I do not think, I wanted to get off Guillotina for now, so I did and voted Quas, and in the post I explain why I unvoted Guillotina.

You could call the approach I took, specifically with Guillotina careful. But tbh, it is one of the better approaches to take with them

The only time someone can be pushed for being awk and its wolfy is if their meta is so polarizing that you can figure out if they're town or wolf based off like 10 posts and I doubt anyone fits that bill
How do you figure? There are over 20+ players here. Do you have meta on all of them to determine that?

ISO: @Inawordyes


4. Despite Item #2 in my list, IAWY does seem a little preoccupied with how others perceive them. They do it again, with Valentine again, here. It's interesting that there are two separate times when IAWY is directly trying to get Valentine to state their opinion of IAWY.

5. I don't know how to interpret this. Do you actually mean you don't like the fact that there's a sarc tag? That people need to use it less? How do I parse this. What does anything mean. I'm adrift on a still and moonless ocean.

6. Question for @Inawordyes: You say there's 'a difference between when [Val's vibe] is coming from a wolfy place and when it's townie'. What is that difference? I also get null/town-leaning vibes on Val, but I'm curious how you make the distinction.

7. I should have mentioned this in the hollowkatt iso, but this interaction between IAWY and hollowkatt is interesting. I'm having trouble articulating why, and this is purely a gut/vibe thing, but I could see this being two scummates passing in the night. A w/w interaction, in the parlance of the arena. Reiteration: purely gut, and not really based on anything.
--
TL;DR, There are some funky things about IAWY so far, but I think that's all coming down to differences in playstyle. The whole angel-shooting thing is highly indicative that they are used to a different mafia environment, and that's something I can empathize with. My read is almost perfectly null: town pings are balanced with scum pings.
Spoiler: show
4) So for some context on me - I am a very polarizing player, as you yourself are experiencing, and it's very easy to push me because of how inane my content and the reads I give can seem at times. Because of that, I take huge issue in general when people have my name in their mouth and don't follow up with it, because a lot of recent games have involved mafia attacking my credibility by constantly picking apart my posts to paint me as untrustworthy but never actively engaging with me or actively pushing on me directly, with the end result of me getting either mischopped or easily pushed into a corner as the village crazy who nobody will listen to. So when I see someone comment on me, especially negatively, but there's no follow-through, no intent other than to state a comment about me, I throw a side-eye and I want them to explain themselves rather than just leaving it on the cutting room floor.

Because I take such a keen interest in others doing it, I am very aware of when I don't follow-up myself, which is why I questioned Cape's townread when I threw out a vote with no follow-up or explanation, and may also be the missing context needed to better understand why I read Falcon the way that I do (given that his post directed at Zeus that I commented on, and then his post towards me afterward, both involve Falcon attacking our credibility offhand with no follow-up. You don't have to agree with the read, that's fine, but it really isn't just a pointless take that comes out of nowhere.

5) I like the fact that there's sarc tags!

6) The fact that Val was providing content both in the post I quoted and in the posts around it. You'll see often that mafia will be like "oh woe is me, I'm finding it so hard to get into the game, I don't have any reads, etc. etc. etc." ... and that's it, there's nothing of substance, it's just excuses. In Val's case, despite struggling to get into the swing of things, she was still trying to provide thoughts. She wasn't sitting in "I'm struggling so hard rn guys :(((" and making an excuse to not move forward, she was acknowledging that she was struggling but kept trying to find ways to do something and either ask a question or provide observations. Small stuff, not very substantial, but given the context that's understandable, and even something small can mean a lot in the grand scheme of things. So TL;DR it's the fact that she was using her struggling to get into the game as an explanation rather than an excuse, and rather than sit in that mode she was still trying to bring something to the table.

7) Me and HK know each other pretty well, and for that reason I had asked him directly beforehand to read and react to my post because he'd understand my thought process the best of everyone here. I also was genuine in my thoughts, I'm not gonna try to fake content to justify or excuse myself, that's a recipe for disaster and I'm town so I have nothing to hide or try to lie myself out of to save face

I can agree with people's reads without it being pocketing? I bounce off other people's takes a lot. I also had pointed out the schia post I found sus before risinq did.

He is self-aware of his hedginess and I actually kind of like that when it appears in his posts. I can relate.
I just started looking a lot elsewhere, also I wanted to write that readslist at the same time I also really wanted to sleep, so that sure didn't help me go into great detail on everyone, you can tell the first one I did was risinnq-.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm But I particularly found IAWY's placement in that same readlist peculiar as the description sounded almost on the same level as the one of me.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Like yes he says "towny sometimes" while the only positive in my blurb is that he "liked the bluntness" but this really goes nowhere. He goes on to state that several things from IAWY are either NAI or underwhelming. Which has about the same level of neutrality as most of the blurb about me except that he was able to latch onto Chelsea's push.
The use of "sometimes" was a good hint I was getting tired and didn't wanna actually detail the read. The missing puzzle piece here that distinguishes my read on you versus my read on IAWY was me kind of liking the over-explanation on his falcon vote as opposed to everyone else and I just didn't state it because I had already mentioned that and didn't feel the need to repeat (though it probably would have been good too repeat because stand alone it's confusing).
Alright, that's reasonable

nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Rereading the list most of the other placements make sense but this felt so arbitrary to me. If Cape is mafia and knows I'm not, he knows that I'm usually not a very easy push, but the Chelsea pressure may have opened the door to me being a feasible target.
I will just say this, if you are mafia nutella, you just spewed Chelsea as town after you flip.
I am town and spewing her town. She's town.

nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm However the primary thought in my head is actually not the idea that Cape/IAWY are w/w. It's actually that Cape is 3P. Cape may very well actually think I am mafia if so. This is a very egotistical part of the read but it's what led me there -- as mafia he'd be less likely to pressure me, because given my meta/reputation if he knows I'm not mafia I am likely to post myself clear. And he brought up 3P factions which is classically >rand 3p lol. I would generally rather hunt mafia primarily over 3p but with 3 of them I don't think we should gloss over their existence.
Counterpoint, the town game I immediately brought up SK on

I suppose you can counter counter point that and say I literally said this because originally I flipped mafia and had this thought as mafia as I was reading setup, but the game got reranded. OFC I didn't say this as the game was going on cuz duh, but I did get suspicion for that.
Yes, that is a weaker point, I don't begrudge anyone awareness of the setup

Read the first post of the game, there lies your answers.

I noticed it because I was looking for what time the game even starts, reread the thing about 20 times before actually seeing it since it was implied at the bottom
This is my explanation for why I noticed this in this game. I am assuming because of this, there are benign 3p which makes me not want to kill Colin for instance.
nutella wrote: Sat Oct 29, 2022 12:53 pm Maybe this thoughtdump is all nothing and he's town and I'm hedging on that way more in my head but I wanted to get this out there. The IAWY part is kind of a separate thing I tagged on because I haven't loved his thread position and it could fit. I think both Cape and IAWY are getting townreads for simply writing a lot of words and I want to push back on that.

I don't expect this post to be very popular, I don't have a strong conclusion, he could just be town and this is all spitballing. But fuck it I'm hitting post.
I am town, but I think it's stupid to think that a game solving post being posted would be for nothing. But this is my answer to your post so.

Also to be fair to you, towny post.
Yeah, I'm liking your response/engagement for the most part and you're not necessarily someone I'll end up pursuing strongly today but I'm glad I got the thoughts out

The lack of movements and when there's any it's just weak pushes that accomplish nothing that bothers me.
What would accomplish something, then?
Finding a wagon we agree on someone wolfy, make it big enough and make the wagonee dance.
Alright, sell me on Le petit then. Or can you not do that today either?
Literally just some fucking guy.

Talk to me a little bit more about DZ/Valentine here.

I get your other scumreads
They both seem pretty comfortable in thread even if their entrances weren't the smoothest. After the first few posts DZ became what I think is his town self, getting reads and unfiltered thoughts out there. Similarly Valentine played up a newbie schtick for a bit but rather than continuing to lean into it she pushed through and started contributing her pov and generating a lot of interaction. I'm not really familiar with Valentine but I view it as >rand town to overcome resistance to participating by suddenly spilling over with content.
