We don't lynch slankers just yet

Can anyone translate this to old school language?

Idk about old school language, but Falcon is expressing the same sentiment i did earlier; we have a cop, so we should let the cop sort out the inactive players.

Oh, Falcon is also suggesting counterwagons as cop checks, which sure, that is reasonable as well (he said, trying not to let the thread see him sweat)

What do you mean 'cop checks'?

Read the civ role of town cop.

You must infodump before the mafia is down to their last living player or you will not be allowed to reveal their alignment if you know it.

Reading, but I meant more what's the point of the counterwagon. Is it like, forcing information out of cop by pressuring them to infodump?

The idea being espoused is that the cop is likely to check someone who is alive and has a lot of suspicion, to avoid the town wasting multiple days on them.

Each night the cop targets someone and the host tells the cop the target's alignment. That is a "cop check"

I think there's a misunderstanding. I know what the role does--what's the relevance of the counterwagon?

They're saying let the cop worry about who the counter wagoner player was. While we, in the thread, should keep hunting.

Knowing the alignments of everyone who was wagoned at an EoD can make it much easier to find mafia, so the cop figuring out the alignment of the counterwagon to the wagon that flips is a reasonable use of a cop check.

I think I got it? Basically let the cop worry about who lives from the counterwagon and we keep looking in the thread is what I picked up.

Having 3 adults trying to explain the same thing to me is really embarrassing but I appreciate it.

See, I have the opposite reads of them. Mata has posted reads and thoughts but some of it just feels surface level, like she hasn’t gotten her footing in the game.

Roxy has been a tad aggressive which isn’t necessarily bad, but I also am not as keen with her conclusions.

I view Mata a step below Roxy on the mafia scale.

My experience is that I don’t see the game eye to eye with Roxy in terms of conclusions so that doesn’t bother me. I like her processing.

If I knew for a fact one of Roxy and mata was mafia, I’d say it’s Roxy. But I’d put odds decent that it’s t/t

I think an important idea of a counterwagon means it pushes the counterwagoned player to defend and also forces other players to either vouch or pile on. This is important as the game progresses to see what wagons form, when, how many players were eager to jump on, etc

Answer: I think they both will. My shrugginess with sabi is that a lot of people voting them I view as town. So that’s informative.

This will just be the second time in a row I’ve been voting lucy for a majority of the day and am headstrong about my resolve

I felt it was a false flag, trying to make a non suspicios thing seem suspicious, trying to focus suspicion on "not us" which is what mafia have to do in a game with no other baddies or third party.

But right now I am here trying to decide if and where I should move my vote, so again, who else would you have me vote for and why?

well currently the wagons are sabi/seanzie and I'd be down for a seanzie vote for aforementioned reasons

and you totally didn't read or understand my logic whatsoever

also do you disagree with my logic?
1) poke into the family
2) if I judge there's scum between the 3 they'll easily be able to find them, via best reads on one another
3) if they're all town, then I can confidently clear all 3 and form a townblock

like seriously, when did I ever fucking sus them unnecessarily and what is the scum motive?

Regarding the bolded, there are no aforementioned reasons, at least from them or anything quoted by them. They kept saying they would do a reads list, and asked others why Seanzie was a wagon, but had no follow up to either.

changed my answer, sabi because two wagons are better than one at eod, unless you wanna build a wagon, which I'm not opposed to, I just don't have a great idea on who as of now

Nailing a wolf is priority number one, and making a second competitive wagon just opens the door for the top suspect of the day to be saved, which lucy is advocating here then later joins Wilgy wagon.

Now late in the day they're saying Seanzie is in town meta with no reasoning to back that up and no progression from their earlier post where they said they'd be down for a Seanzie vote(said post was made less than an hour and a half before this one).

just for good measure, votin' ya' twice.

seanzie tunneling sabi is town indicative of sabi regardless of seanzie's alignment

lucy keeps contradicting themselves, and focusing on either things that don't really benefit the game much(family dynamics) or on trying to get rid of inactives as it were. Pretty strong wolf read.

bad read, but i understand ur trying to save sabi
