Yeah so given this I can bury the idea that you and C4 is off the table then. C4/Hally is though.

If two mafia were here, you don't think they hammer? That is ludicrous lol.

I think a mafia team of hally/c4 specifically probably doesn't

You're treating it like this is MU where it's not that hard to hammer

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:26 pm**

if c4 is a wolf it’s with NAA ~always imo

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:27 pm**

Truth be told, if I am mafia and have a chance to hammer at MYLO I am absolutely not conservative. Dizzy and I won a game that way. People think I am way more anti-hammer than I really am.

Anyway no matter. I would be fine clearing c4/Hally from hammerthings just because I don't think it's a team theory that is likely to drive the Day 3 elimination anyway.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:17 pm Looking at all three of you, you also have given no real effort to push any of the other three of you on this day. That is despite Axe and Nanook both having articulated strong scumreads on C4 at multiple points in the game. No real desire to push him today. This makes me think that c4 is always mafia. If the scum were Axe/Nanook, it has already become significantly easier to start to push C4 to get this win (especially given I am voting him). Ergo I feel C4 is outed via gamestate.

The question then becomes who is the other wolf. I think asking the question who is the most wolfy between Axe/Nanook is more pertinent than who is more likely to be with exactly C4. I have had a mostly consistent feel that Axe is town throughout the game. Nanook has not developed enough for my liking, in his read on me and his general play. I think Nanook is more likely than Axe but not by much.
I've considered similar things about c4.

Between Nanook and NAA, my answer is definitely NAA as being more independently suspicious. I am not sure he is keeping his story straight about you -- he deduced you're mafia (or had a "read") on the basis of the statistical analysis he described on Day 2, had you in a hard dichotomy with Nanook who I think made himself a lot clearer at EOD2, and still voted Dizzy... because Alison said so. Now today he is claiming his view of you isn't alignment-driven but rather something about "game impact", which doesn't make any sense to me with his prior statistical analysis in mind.

I just think Axe is sheeping Alison without fully admitting it tbh. I am the only one left alive from her POE so he is banking on her being right in lieu of trusting his own judgement or the judgement of other players here (who he does not have alignment confirmation of which is fair). It is not out of scumrange to sheep a dead town reading a town mafia to win at lylo, but it kind of is to do so in the way he is. It comes across like he is actually in two minds about it. Coupled with the fact that the last game we played together he was right about me most of the game (probably for similar dead town sheep reasons at least partially) and then I got really towny right at the end of the game and nearly got him to throw. He's probably rather conscious of me doing it again. Especially considering that the way I got him to flip his read on me last time is probably not exactly clear to him how I did it lol.

NotAnAxehole wrote: ↑Tue Mar 01, 2022 2:27 pm @JaggedJimmyJay I'm going to vaguely explain why Mac is mafia without giving away the read entirely.

Let's assume that Mac is mafia, then we can assume that there is a certain agenda to his posts. I'm not going to guess too much as to how this would work.

Now, let's assume that Mac is town... Well then we can assume that he is playing without an agenda, which should roughly demonstrate a random distribution as to the alignment of people he's communicating with.

The random distribution would not necessarily be the game!rand distribution, but leaning towards mac!reads rand distribution. I'm going to assume (I've tested this with a couple games) that Mac's gut / instinctive replies are above the game rand, and he replies to mafia about 30% of the time as town.

Now, if we take this on some of his runs of posting, we can determine that there is about mechanically a 1% chance that Mac, Hally, JJJ, NAA, Nanook, DrWilgy are all town.

I know my alignment, and I have Hally, JJJ as lock town.

I think DrWilgy is firmly within town meta... If you disagree here, this is where I can be wrong.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 10:31 pm @NotAnAxehole, do you think MR and Dizzy both turning out to be town should have any impact upon the way you progress through your process today (beyond just narrowing down the total pool of options)?
MR and Dizzy weren't apart of my solve process. I was just playing the odds that Alison would be right even if she wasn't full confidence.

So no.
Any reason you valued Alison's legacy over your own process that led you to Mac?
I didn't / don't have a complete read on Mac. I haven't caught up on the game. My Mac read from earlier was his impact in the game, not a read on his alignment per say.

Not sure how these two posts can coexist.

I have snipe hammered to win games on TS so many times it's ridiculous lol. It's actually easier to do as a tandem or team on TS imo because of the lack of visibility over it (you only need to vote in the poll then screenshot it, game over). Hell Jay, Nutella and I have done it as three people. You can coordinate down to the exact second in scum chat to do it.

I don't even think it's an assumption. Pretty sure he's mentioned it multiple times. He just hasn't belaboured it or leant heavily on it.

@MacDougall, do you think this is a sequence Nanook fakes? It's not the frustration I am referring to in isolation, but the reason for the frustration. If he was really trying to cover for Wilgy and felt the requests for claim clarity got in the way, then that's what causes this -- town indicative. I am not "certain", but it sure looks that way to me.

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:36 pm**

I would describe the Nook/C4 interactions as completely plausible and good quality distancing. Caveat is that Nanook doesn't usually go in for distancing in my experience. If it wasn't for my knowledge of that I would laugh about you clearing that option. But because I do... I think you're probably correct but like... not confidently saying that.

Yes it does look that way. No I don't think it's impossible to fake. I think Nanook's progression and read on me is way more indicative of him being mafia that what you are quoting here is indicative of him being town.
