Going over Burns D1 post in a pseudo iso and writing out my thoughts on each of them. This isn't really to case him, more like to see how I really feel about him and help myself by putting in into writing. Most of my thoughts on D2 and D3 are in the thread since I interacted with most of them. He's been in my PoE and we'e clashed at first but we cool now. Still think he's probably scum but I like him and kind of don't have the energy to push him nor do I actually want to if that makes sense. Might confirmate bias myself into oblivion lol

Excellent...Smithers, have the hounds run down these wolves.
This is fair. I usually tend to pay attention to entry posts with wolves usually having trouble breaking in and getting comfortable. Using the theme as an icebreaker to ease in into the thread is usually a ping especially when there is a contrast with their follow up and getting down to business.
It don't apply here as I mentioned before with the anon and theme dynamic.

C'est la vie
Since you appear to be referring to ME as a "slank," you slow witted youth, I will inform you that there seems to have been something interfering with my account. I am certain it had nothing to do with any sort of leakage from the plant and that there is no possibility of everyone in Springfield turning yellow! Errr...
Smithers! Show that EPA inspector the bottom of the cooling towers right away!
Still in roleplay mode. Meh. I believe the technical issues he encountered but it's NAI. Could be scum and ran into the same issue. Probably sockpuppets issue since they're re-used.

Feeling the same way with Burns saying his acct was messed up.
I lumped Burns, Skinner, Milhouse and Hugh Jass as the slanking mafia earlier then boom, both Skinner and Burns pop in with excuse posts.
Gross
Yeah yeah, you had the wolves just jump in your lap...you're a hero...easy game...now what?
Smithers, feed this carcass to the squirrels.
This is some energy I guess lol. Understand being irritated if he had account issues and just got in the thread, then it get painted as a pop in excuse post as if he was avoiding the thread. Don't think he's that kind of wolf seeing his attitude.

I'm feeling good about Otto and slightly better about Krusty (and I was already a little better than null on him). I'm taking "coming into the thread purely to make Simpsons references" as a null behavior right now, because a lot of people have done that. I think I like Burns' excuse more than Skinner's - having account issues is something that is very rare for mafia members to lie about, especially in a game as chill and laidback as this one.
what kind of issues tho
surely the host tested the sockpuppets before doling them out
If you must know...our host has a formality issue and I left out the period.
Smithers! Get on this old fart's lawn and so not get off until he screams his last!
Same thing.

I hate this post. It doesn't offer anything at all except shading Alison and Otto who were the main active voices in the thread and generating content. It's the kind of remarks and thoughts that don't come from a town pov imo, there is no genuine paranoia behind it or something that look like actually pinged him that would bring him to that though. Just fear mongering with superficial bullshit. It's also way too early into the game, and there is nothing wrong with trying very early. It's especially weird when he later on seemed to have gripped with Marge "Wolves are the one that care" and her suspecting him.

what is player salad
It's where you list most if not all the players in the game in a post, vaguely grouping them into categories that aren't really meaningful and with a disclaimer that names in the groups are in no particular order either, then toss with oil and vinegar and vote for whoever slips out while pretending that you justified your vote.
Nice guy Mr Burns helping a senior citizen. I have a different definition of a player salad fwiw, it's more about listing several names as your elimination targets. Like " I can go for X, Y, Z and A" without actually stating any preference or order whatsoever.

Well youngster, one might expect a key figure in the running of Springfield, like myself, to be more serious. But for these two to have abandoned what we in the huge capitalist owners of nuclear power plants class like to call the "shitposting phase" so quickly speaks to an agenda. The problem is that without knowing who is behind them I can't tell if the agenda is wolfy, or if they are just serious try hards who are not flowing with the flavor.

Don't like this follow up at all. You don't need to know who's behind the sockpuppets. You get your take on their agenda from their posts if you're genuinely wanting to figure them out. Fake paranoia I say.

Isn't the lack of meta what made you play this game? Complaining you can't read intentions so early shows you too are starting to take the game too seriously

C- It's not so much the current gamestate, more the thinking that a lot of scum have a hard time entering the thread and subsequently end up a very low poster early game as they struggle to find an opening that feels comfortable.
This is not true of most Syndicate wolves. You will catch the occasional one with an awkward opening but many Syndicate scum players have no issue with power wolfing and there are very few chronic slankers here.
I like Grumple's posting this page. Not that I agree with his read on Otto, but the way he approached it and broke down Otto's post that he thought was player salad, moved onto a series of probing questions and then backed off after a bit to stop himself from tunnelling was a pretty townie approach.
That may or may not be true about Syndicate, but they still need an opening to enter the game. Players entering with shitposts or excuses after conversation worthy content has been established looks bad to me.
I agree on Grumple for the most part. Their tunnel actually felt like a nice cozy pocket I could hang in for a bit.
What?
You think just because someone gets to the thread a little early and you got serious before you turned around twice they shouldn't get to shitpost?
In a game based on The Simpsons??
Where they have gone to the lengths of a Simpsons character sockpuppet account to play with???
You're lucky I stopped shitposting long enough to make this post...and mostly I'm only being serious because my dodgy internet has me in such an ill humor. If I get this shit straightened out I'll probably get right back into character and have you dumped in the green glowing pool out back.
tl;dr...I think you have thrown a lot of shade so far, but in pretty much every case it was thinly backed, if at all...like you are looking for an easy push.
Lot of gotcha questions. Interesting sus on Otto, not sure I had the same take on his early play. Was a solid town lean very early, we'll Burns progression.

That's cool, especially considering you've done fuck all but complain about your computer or inability to access your account. And the sus or sheep post, unless that was someone else.
You seem to have your back up quite a bit considering it's early D1 and even the best of cases will all be flimsy as fuck. I haven't even pushed you, but indeed some shade has been thrown. I do that. Helps me sort players.
Getting all salty over the way I go about scum hunting to start the game only reinforces my opinion that you're in that scum range of players.
LOL...I actually wasn't even talking about the shade you've thrown at me. I was more pointing out that you seem to be thinking you are in a fourteen wolf game because you are shading basically everyone, or at least seem like you are set on getting to everyone.
Now you can play "oh look, I threw empty shade at almost everybody and this guy didn't like it so he must be a wolf." Congrats wolf hunter, I'm impressed.
Think this is the post that Marge had as Burns switch on Otto. He definitely sussed him reading the previous post, not sure if this "wolf hunter" and response entails a town read now from him. Smell the sarcasm. He's a grump old cat lol.

I'm sorry if you took it that way, wasnt my intention to act superior, just wanted to let you know I knew my reads were empty, it's just the way I approach the game starting with no info.
People tend to engage in one way or another which helps me get a read on them. That's all I was saying.
Sorry if upure town, I'm just not reading you that way rn. That can change.
Enjoy the game.
I'd rather watch hockey
Wellllll...tbh
I really do normally play much the same way, and I really did spend most of the day squabbling with the cable company with my internet running at dial up speed...and my only way to communicate with the cable company being the internet...
So that shot to the chin wasn't something you deserved really, it was...you just kinda stepped in front of it.
I will be reading through the thread and getting really caught up.
And yeah I'd actually rather be watching hockey too.

Fair take. The going back and not only quoting Homer to tag him but quoting Otto is interesting. Like shining light on Homer's absence and lack of contribution? The inclusion is weird for me and I could see that agenda behind it. It's theatric if that makes sense. Meh.

I like Allison's take on us and can live with that for now.
Unless the two of you are scum, having a soft Allison, Burns, Grample, Comic Dude towncore might be something to work with.
Thoughts on proposed towncore?
I like that you and Allison have been shaking the thread. I said earlier that I didn't know whether to sheep or suss on your respective early seriousness...and for now I'm inclined to sheep.
I think I came in goofing on the theme, but I didn't intend to JUST goof on the theme...and more than a couple people have tried to get away with doing that and nothing more. If Homer doesn't get in here I will cheerfully feed him to the hounds. But if he does there are plenty to take his place.
Skinner looks outright terrible with the goofing on the theme to get a little post count, then announcing serious work inbound and just failing. I won't call the hounds off Homer without getting something, but I'd vote Skinner in an old man's heartbeat.
Grample and Comic Dude I don't feel as good about as I do you and Allison, but not bad.
I feel pretty good about Bart from my interaction with him. Not like towncore good, but better than nothing.
Will read again.
Smithers! We need more hounds!!!
Think this is fair I guess. Noticeably Otto is now a feel good, Burns didn't really push the "shading everyone to get an easy push" angle he had early on on Otto. Not sure how much time elapses though and also they had a few interactions guess that might have made him feel better. Still though.

I wonder how Burns made a complete 180 on Otto man for...what I assume to be no reason. At least he didn't give any valuable reasons in thread, maybe he thought about it in his head, but from his posts, his switch makes no sense.
Could you explain what "180" you are talking about? I don't think I feel strongly enough about anyone to have a direction, much less have anyone I have felt strongly about in TWO OPPOSING directions.
Yeah, nevermind.
Skip the explanations, you're just day one grasping for straws.
Smithers! Release the hounds! Run this blue haired wretch off the property!
Hmm there was an 180, doesn't have to be from strongly scum to strongly town. Kind of disingenuous, kinda... I can see the argument behind it though lol, since soft red, to soft green is a small distance.
Is grasping for straws here a bad thing or generating content and getting stuff done? It's a mystery!

I don't understand this post. Earlier he was allegedly interested on who was behind Alison and Otto to get an idea if their volume and energy was wolfy or not. Homer and Marge guessing their respecting identity and under that, meta reading each other, is fair.

Bart-fun gifs, but open called for activity...liked his direct interaction
ComicBook-kinda meh personally, but I'm not fighting Otto on this one
Grampa-feisty old man, but pushes seem to produce reactions so good for the town
Grumple-another meh, but again I haven't really looked because I'm not fighting Otto at this point
Krusty-making pushes, stirring pots
Lisa-not pushy, but weighing in...will probably be readable
Otto-most active and intentional mover and shaker in the thread so far
People who seem useless but not worth fighting with today:
Homer-has Marge in the "mind meld pocket"
Marge-married mindlessly to Homer
Maybe subbed so let them be:
Hugh Jass
Millhouse
Would chop:
Flanders-high certainty proclamation that I happen to know is dead wrong, no back up or reasoning, no other significant interactions
Skinner-"I'm done memeing now" and has done nothing since

Flanders and Skinner are getting a lot of attention, same with Marge. Lisa might be an outlier in that sense but the list and lack of build up to it. I dunno.
Feels like a great "let me hide behind my sheeped list" play.
Could be...but as a "whoa I have blown off the vast majority of day one" entrance it isn't totally bad
he at least weighed in (ultra lightly, but still) on everyone
I mean, if he had just come in and sheeped a

I don't understand the argument you're making if it isn't "all reads are equal until proven otherwise." And I'm going to really struggle to accept that position because it completely neuters you outside of mech clears.
Do you disagree that refusing to participate is anti-town?
Refusing to participate is anti-town. I'm just not sure how you know whether or not a player's reads are good or bad at this point

Here's where I'm at right now:
I think Marge is town. I think Burns is town. Grampa's recent posts have made me doubt my scumread on him a bit. I feel like the thread is descending into an orgy of people nitpicking stuff about each other's posts and/or getting super defensive and lashing out when their own posts gets nitpicked. I think there's a decent number of people active lurking, eating popcorn, and watching the town tear each other into shreds.
I am currently more in favor of putting pressure on inactive people to contribute.[font=]
I do not agree with Burns that Milhouse coming in to post some random read salad without any explanations or serious pushes is a townie entrance.[/font] I'm am concerned that Skinner and Hugh are still AWOL. I am also concerned that Ned Flanders has had three posts the entire day, scumread Burns early on, and then dropped a vote on him without any announcement,
after Marge pushed Burns. (If you check the poll you will see that Flanders voted Burns after Marge and Homer voted, even though his suspicion on Burns purportedly came long before.) I do not know what Flanders' progression on the game is or why he is drive by voting Burns at a very convenient timing without saying anything.
So those four are my POE. I trust Otto, Marge, Burns, Grumple and Krusty. I am willing to accept Marge + Homer's testimony that they know who Bart is and that his behavior this game strongly indicates that he is town. I started off with an early Lisa townread, but she has since fallen off. So my 5 townreads + tentatively Bart is my townpool for today. Everyone else who isn't directly in the POE or in my townpool is somewhere in the middle.
I am thinking of it more as a "better than nothing" entrance rather than actually "towny."
I agree with your read on the game state.
Word?
Mr. Burns wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 3:25 pm
Twenty posts in and I like Krusty so far. I think he has a clear misunderstanding with Grandpa that is probably really easy to point out...for anyone other than the two of them...and that everything else he has said (except some obligatory empty jokes) was pretty solid town mindset.
In the Grandpa/Marge/Krusty triangle the only thing that doesn't seem to make sense from town is exactly what Grandpa pointed out...
I think it's okay to say Homer is marching to his own drum and ignoring pressure and that is kinda towny...but to say that a single entry gif, and when called out for that single entry gif twenty four hours later responding with a couple more gifs and a piss off is USEFUL SOLVING is absurd.
Grampa and Krusty seem lost in the semantics, but Marge shielding Homer based on NOTHING is the real mystery.
Disagree on Krusty. Feel like the Grampa situation here is used to fluff the Krusty read, like them talking past each other is NAI in general, although their interaction might speak to their compatibility. We're not there yet.
We're built different in the Syndicat. Joke lol.
Back to the Marge/Homer linking, I'm still not sure why he's gripping with so hard. It might be nothing more than a fancy TR, those aren't inherently bad on slankers. I'm not sure what happened to this afterwards, I remember him asking him to review it and it felt like fake work. The insistence with which he's harping on it doesn't match the fact that he doesn't seem to have reached a conclusion. Like he's just wanting to shade some light to it in hope someone else finds it scummy and push it for him? Weird, but he's a peculiar guy lol.

scratching the "D1 is the day that the worst posting slanker that has under 10 posts gets yeeted" off my bingo card
Smithers!!! Call in the hounds!
If you have a better idea I'll listen. If we have a bad posting slanker that has under ten posts, what do we do with them? How are you expecting them to get worked clear if they live?
Call Mr. Hughes the slanker whisperer.
This is a fair post, although I still have a slight gripped that it didn't feel like he actually tried to find another avenue and more so settled on the slanker and that the "bad" isn't really clear.

let them get subbed
Excellent!
I did already mention that about the actual no posters...one of which has since posted. But I wouldn't expect the host to have a fleet of subs on standby so that every low poster can just be subbed out for a fresh start. I don't remember there being a hard minimum, so I would think that "I made three posts and they were (maybe just bald without reasons) suspicions and I did vote" would be a slot that won't get subbed. So here we are. On the other hand we have I think seven or eight posts in the shitposting phase that ended with "okay, now I'm serious" and a bald vote and a disappearance. I don't see that getting subbed. So here we are.
How far can we carry those slots and hope they get more productive?
I mean, I don't like chopping the unproductive slot day one...and if someone wants to sprout big teeth and a bushy tail and hop in my lap I'll be happy to chop them instead...but unless someone does I have to eliminate the people who I think will be least likely to ever clear themselves and hope the productive people can be sorted out in time.
He's weirdly emotionally invested in this lol. Same with the reaction to my calling the lynch garbage on D2. He took it personally. It wasn't Burns sama :hugs

Maybe if we keep pressure on both of these lumps of coal one will turn into a diamond.
Pression vote, not bad. Interested if there was a slight ping before from the little posts Skinner had or simply pression.

LOL...pads post count by eight...says absolutely nothing.
Smithers, don't even bother waking the hounds, just shoot him.
Dishonest take on Flanders I feel. He just entered the thread and gave his initial stances based on what pinged him. Not everything has to be carefully formatted and fully explained beforehands. It grows into the game.

If you guys wanna kill me day 1 go right ahead. Just make sure you actually kill the people who are circling me like vultures for actually posting after I was being voted for not posting.
You are posting empty noises. Nothing has changed except that you are pretending to react to pressure.
Rude.

Pivoting to another slanker trying to get contribution from them? Looks alright, cynic in me doesn't feel like he genuinely wanted to hear from Skinner lol. Busy work.

You aren't even trying to analyse me. You're just firing off the hip. You weren't even voting me before and as soon as I came and actually provided content you finally were able to justify your OMGUS.
Go ahead and suck pal.
You aren't providing content. You look to be just padding post count.
But at present you are doing more than Skinner,
See a few posts above.

Soooo...who wants to bet the game on Mac's half assed first post reads?
I'd probably rather do that than let slanker Skinner pass, myself, but in my experience Mac's first post reads are about 3% better than rand so I wouldn't call it a GOOD bet.
This isn't nice, vicious stuff. Not knowing who's behind the sockpuppet makes it a hard call.

The capital words in posts to highlight some stuff made me think of someone. I'll see if I'm right post game.

I was about to town read it for being Ted but if it's Sprityo it's just mafia.
So, here's the thing...someone else already pointed out that mass claiming real IDs would be outside the spirit of the game.
I agree with them, and actually if I were the host I'd just modkill you...for your hard claim and your fishing.
But since I do know you are Mac I guess I have to acknowledge that this sort of thing is probably town Mac...the whole "one post reads" bit is certainly typical Mac...as is the "never reassess" arrogance.
My intent was to keep pressure on two lumps of coal hoping one would turn into a diamond...and instead one turned into a Mac.

Why are you such a prick to me lol
By accident?
How was I supposed to know that pressuring a low poster was gonna sprout Mac out of the woodwork?
Hmmm accident? Sure thing bud. Joke lol

For the record, I do feel bad about pushing Mac into claiming.
And his one post reads are, as I said, in my experience a little better than rand.
He does also have a handful of people that he is genuinely NEVER right about. But without revealing real IDs that doesn't matter.
The last phrase is unnecessary. It serves nothing since like you answered it, there is no ID reveals. It's just a soft discrediting.

I am referring to the literal post I am quoting not the stuff from before you knew who I was.
I find your never reassess arrogance endearing, to be honest. And as I have said twice I do actually respect your one post reads. You are wrong about me, but that doesn't mean you aren't better than rand here either.
I'm trying to believe you.

-Try to avoid identifying yourself or forcing other players to identify themselves. Speculation about the identities of players is permissible, but you may not claim an identity or make any requests that another player do so.
Thank you Marge because I was right on the border of telling Mac who I am, which would have doubled the tragedy.

This rings so fake to me. How could it be when you're TR-ing Mac for the id claim? Also having gotten to know you, I'm having trouble believing you being in "dark waters" here and not having an initial opinion on what to do, even if it isn't strong either way. Feels like wanting to see how it develops and what other people think, as not to commit.

You DIDN'T push him into claiming. He just melted under pressure because "do what I say without any lip back" wasn't a compelling offer to everyone. I don't even see what claiming identity matters to the situation.
I needed to summon my excess clout.
Just to smite ME.
I am taking that as a singular honor.
Insert a witty reply.

Given I am town it's not but given you don't know that for sure it probably is. I guess it depends whether he waits til EOD to mod-kill me or mod-kills me and immediately ends the day. I do believe that is Sloonei's preferred method.
I'm just trying to sort through the numbers...if we chop and miss, and you are town, we are down two going into the night...if there's no extra KP that puts us on even numbers. I generally sort of hate even numbers.
Meh
