Looking at the interactions that LoRab and TSP have been having are making me kinda convinced it is one of them

Like LoRab feels oddly bandwagony to me in terms of their treatment of me

TSP has been very rambly, and a lot of what they have been saying to me reads as pretty surface level to me

I could, just wanted more people to talk, it's been a while and @staypositivefriend /@LoRab/@pyxxy haven't shown up and given the very stale game state this game has been in, I don't like there being inactive players

Wasn't planning on holding it til the day ends anyways
Huh—this post strangely leaves of TSP in a list of players who haven’t shown up. Which definitely pings my suspiciometer.

I feel like Cape is the more likely of the two to be partnered w/ both Nut & Sheep
Having now reread all of their posts, I’m definitely seeing this.
I saw this and felt like it was a bit oppurtunistic. They don't seem to be going off their own ideas

i dont have much confidence about tsp being town but i couldnt say that i find him actively wolfy

he's just kinda there

by contrast, nutella has been openwolfing fmpov since the moment the game started
what were these "bad takes" out of my curiousity + me being extremely lazy

How is that possibly indicative?
in a game where you can post at night no less, there's simply no opportunity for me to just miss it. I take wolfing very seriously, I am not missing two days and two nights, especially if I have a team who can force me to remember that there's a game going on. I also take towning somewhat seriously but eh sometimes it slips through the cracks with work and all that.

this is post 14641, perhaps my last quartic number on this site.
I’ve played like maybe 3 games ever where you couldn’t talk at night….so not sure why or how that matters.

Do Nutella or Sheep know how to find you off this site? Maybe you just didn’t realize the game had started. That is weak logic.

And, if following that logic, why would you possibly suspect me? I didn’t show up until day 2.
it makes it harder for me to not be able to engage as soon as i enter the thread (it's also pretty uncommon these days for games to be open at night, too many people who post too much and would like more breaks)

nutella and sheep know how to find me off this site but I don't want to go into the mechanics of that because it's gets angleshooty (i mean it kinda already is but only in the way that meta is always a bit angleshooty)

it's because you and I are different people though I'm feeling better every second about you slash worse about cape who has literally disappeared
Thank you. That all makes a ton of sense, and has made me feel a lot better about you.

Going to switch to Cape for now…but will switch for the sake of self preservation if needed.

[VOTE: Cape] aubergine
i gotta admit - i kind of like the way that lorab shifted off of his suspicion on TSP during their exchange

lorab was really focused on TSP there for a while and seemed almost singularly tunneled on him

and if lorab is a wolf in a f5 who is facing increased pressure/scrutiny, i would expect this to be a moment where his suspicion on TSP would become more aggressive and more singular

but instead, he backed off of his suspicion on TSP and changed his mind about him in a way that comes off as pretty organic to me - i don't see an obvious scum incentive for lorab to back off the push there as a wolf

Wilgy could theoretically remember, but I don’t think we played that much together—and that he would necessarily remember. But you know who does know this? Nutella.

And thinking that through, has caused me to start suspecting her. I am starting to believe that no matter which of them wins, the mafia loses a vote in the game and gains a prize.
there's also still a lot of little perspective stuff from lorab that makes it tough for me to get to a world where he's mafia

like making a post that projects such a high amount of confidence about your incorrect tunnel being mafia, to the extent that you suspect an actual wolf nutella for not agreeing with the tunnel, is the type of perspective that i think a wolf would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to

this line of logic though seems really odd to me, just in the way TSP makes it about himself in that situation

Eh, yeah sure there is conviction in there, but insisting to just ignore LC there, esp when he flipped town, is pretty anti to me. I never got the argument that LC was spreading chaos, I have talked about that at the time and I still do not get it

it's tempting to theorize about a falcon deepwolf world

on some levels it would make sense -falcon did try to play up the idea that me/nutella were T v T who were misunderstanding each other, and he didn't really push on nutella in a meaningful sense until one dayphase ago

but when i look at his posts, i believe that he's trying to solve the game. he's pushed on a lot of players but his focus hasn't become overly singular on any one of them - his worldview has been fluid and the stuff he's been picking at is nuanced/well thought out

it just seems like he cares about solving the game tbh. dont think he's mafia either

my issue here is that i feel like you're conflating anti-town with wolf indicative

like sure, maybe it is anti-town to shut out another player from communicating with the rest of the game

but is it wolf indicative? does it make lorab mafia?

it doesn't matter if it's "unfair" it just matters to me if it's wolfy

i keep coming back to this post bcuz it seems important in a way i havent decided yet so im gonna leave it here

And I haven’t been back long enough for the new wave of players doesn’t get how I think—and certainly doesn’t know which players I can accurately read. (There is only 1 player whom I could read better than LC—and if that player ever returned, I’m pretty sure I’d still be able to read him, as I can LC). But nearly no one knows that history.

Wilgy could theoretically remember, but I don’t think we played that much together—and that he would necessarily remember. But you know who does know this? Nutella.

And thinking that through, has caused me to start suspecting her. I am starting to believe that no matter which of them wins, the mafia loses a vote in the game and gains a prize.
there's also still a lot of little perspective stuff from lorab that makes it tough for me to get to a world where he's mafia

like making a post that projects such a high amount of confidence about your incorrect tunnel being mafia, to the extent that you suspect an actual wolf nutella for not agreeing with the tunnel, is the type of perspective that i think a wolf would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to

He’s just going to continue to spread seeds of chaos throughout the conversation. The more we respond, the more he’ll spew. You can think he’s guilty or not. But he’s definitely doing his best to distract us from discussing anything else. And, yeah, I’m also part of doing this. But it’s bad strategy to continue to goad him (other than possible off topic). Even if he is civ (which I very much doubt), we can engage with his ideas after the battle, should he be a contender (and I hope he is).

I, for one, is not going to answer LC’s FEBspewing. I’d rather think about what comes after this day and this night.

sorry, dude. You know I adore you. And also, say hi to BR!!
same with this post tbh - the conviction bleeds through in the way that lorab describes their read on long con in a way that just makes me think it was real
Eh, yeah sure there is conviction in there, but insisting to just ignore LC there, esp when he flipped town, is pretty anti to me. I never got the argument that LC was spreading chaos, I have talked about that at the time and I still do not get it

Just seems like being unfair for no good reason to a slot they just wanna push over
my issue here is that i feel like you're conflating anti-town with wolf indicative

like sure, maybe it is anti-town to shut out another player from communicating with the rest of the game

but is it wolf indicative? does it make lorab mafia?

it doesn't matter if it's "unfair" it just matters to me if it's wolfy
wolves have an anti town agenda

this behavior doesn't line up with how LoRab treated the flipped wolves this game.

Look, I have realized something when I played a lot of mafia in a row

A lot of wolves skate by because of this line of thinking that "oh they just did something anti-town, that doesn't make them wolf", when it's exactly what makes them wolf.

^^i found a recent falcon wolf game for comparison and there is a similar level of aggressiveness/forwardness with the way that he engages others, but he also seems more dead inside and less invested in solving overall

tbh i do think falcon is probably town im just looking for a confident reason to lock it in

cape was projecting quite a lot of confidence about lorab being mafia but the moment that i came into the thread and called lorab town, cape suddenly ceded ground on his push and started focusing on TSP again

which makes me feel like he is a wolf angling to get one of tsp/lorab miseliminated today

that's the vibe i get at least

Because both Nutella and Sheep have been mentioned for Cricket, and I'm fine with either of them being sent home by the judges. And I didn't want to create a tie.

[VOTE: Crane Your Neck] aubergine
LoRab wrote: Thu Jan 11, 2024 4:50 pm My guess is also SPF for Glass Beach. Not sure about the other 2.

I'd be happy to switch to Glass Beach if anyone else will switch, as well, so as not to create a tie.
I want to draw attention to LoRab's night 3

LoRab clearly wanted nutella dead

LoRab voted nutella's song because quote: "Because both Nutella and Sheep have been mentioned for Cricket"

But with the colored thing, it's clear that LoRab at least had the idea that SPF's song was the glass beach song... so why not go for that instead of the Crane Your Neck song in the first place?

I still suspect her. And I don’t like how she keeps dropping my name in, and yet doesn’t engage with me at all.

Also, we should remember that she may have an extra vote (depending on if she is telling the truth about her prize).

What, both you and Falc advised that cricket was unlikely Nutella. That's why I voted for it. We want Nutella flipped, so vote for less likely to be Nutella.
Someone else (don't remember who) said it might be Nutella? I'm open to switching.

also wrt to tsp it's true that he said he "mindmelded" with nutella and showed some real doubt about her alignment, but to me this could be an indicator that he doesn't have TMI of her alignment and that he was genuinely trying to figure her out

i think that if we have a case where some players pushed on nutella rigidly and without really doubting themselves vs a player who seemed vaguely suspicious of nutella but also found them towny at points, the former is the one who is more likely to be playing with TMI

to be clear im not confident that tsp is town but i dont consider his "mindmeld" to be wolf indicative, and think that it might be the opposite

I await @Cape90 @LoRab and @falcon45ca's wisdom. Please course correct me if I was wrong to do so.

My legacy still looks like:
SPF/TSP
SPF/Cape
Nutella/TSP
SPF/LoRab

In that order.

IDK, to me it felt like as soon as TSP realized there was no world where it was worth saving nutella, he just kind of resigned into shading her after townreading her

But that's an ungenerous take of it

i don't see how this is incriminating

lorab avoided voting for the cricket song since it seemed like either sheep or nut submitted it, and lorab didn't want either of them to get the prize

lorab voted for the lady lamb song because voting for the glass beach song would have created a tie with only 30 minutes left before the EOD

so lorab chose not to vote for a song that they thought had to be sheep or nut, and they also chose not to make a tie

how is this incriminating? how is this wolf indicative?

your argument seems to hinge on: "why did lorab vote for the lady lamb song if she thought it could be nut?", but it was because voting for the glass beach song would have created a tie

to me this seems like a reasonable explanation

How is that possibly indicative?
in a game where you can post at night no less, there's simply no opportunity for me to just miss it. I take wolfing very seriously, I am not missing two days and two nights, especially if I have a team who can force me to remember that there's a game going on. I also take towning somewhat seriously but eh sometimes it slips through the cracks with work and all that.

this is post 14641, perhaps my last quartic number on this site.
I still don't find any of this particularly alignment indicitive like you keep insisting it is
well trust me it is i have no motivation to lie

this line of logic though seems really odd to me, just in the way TSP makes it about himself in that situation
