What do you have on her?

Your called vote isn't on the poll btw.

Let the record show that Marge has been in the thread since her vote is now on the poll. And she ghosted me

Friendship ended with Marge, who wants to be my best friend?

I've been pretty shy about my vote and it's weirding me out. Not just my vote actually more like who I want to push or eliminate in general. I was thinking it's part of the anon/sockpuppet experience, it's making me kind of unable to commit in some weird ways even though I actually have scum reads lol. I'm all over the place in my head.

And that wasn't the case D1, I came in hot and wanted Gramps killed lmao

Burns and all the Simpsons sans Grampa are most suspicious.

So your PoE is Burns, Bart, Lisa, Marge, Homer, & Alison?


Way to narrow it down

6 is actually the perfect PoE at this stage. 10v3 gives you 3 safe chops, assuming successful kills each night.

Do you have a reason to townreads him? We don't do nulls here.

Bart Simpson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 5:15 pm You clear him based probably on your own game behaviour which is wrong, you are unique in your way, he is also unique in his way. I disliked his play today.

Not really as I don't have a playstyle similar to him at all, and none of his behavior is something that I'd do. It's more about how I view it in the same way one views something as townie or scummy. It's I guess just a fancy gut read or more like a tonal one. Another way to put it would be like seeing the agenda or motivation behind posts. I don't town read all low posters or slankers, I try to the best of my ability to differentiate between scum slanking/lolcatting and town being disengaged or lhf. One way would be is that if the slank/disengagement is genuine or if that they're trying to sell that vibe rather than actually embody it. Sometimes I townread dumb post like some of the stuff he has done because I feel that it's unlikely to come from that scum pov. I'm not afraid to read people no matter how little content they have. Sometimes those evolve as soul read or wander the pit of the PoE lol.

Still though that doesn't mean I'm clearing him and that he's hard town. He's still in the upper PoE as I mentioned since the optimal one is 6 and I have stronger TRs.

If you figured out who I am, that's basically my MO.

I'll probably be here on/off 'till then if you make a come back.

Hope they get better Grumple.

CBG most likely. It's the disingenuous nature of his posts.
Just fluff and glib commentary.
Drops reads without justification.

Aiming for twtbw is crap. I don't like his style.

Fair I guess, it is what it is.

Otto Mann wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 6:14 pm Nice dp, Otto.

After CBG it's a bit of a shitshow with high jass and his death by paperwork routine, lisa, Marge.

Then there's the tinfoil open wolves which I'm just gonna keep to myself

Why am I there lol? Come on now.

Talk to me about Lisa and Marge. Especially interested in the latter since she was my top TR not too long ago but has been absent for a while now.

This is roughly where I'm at I think

Skinner
Bart
Allison
Otto
Marge
Homer

PoE -

CBG
Grumple
Grandpa
Mr. Burns
Krusty
Lisa

I'm treating Skinner as a mod-confirmed slot seeing the absence of any CC, so he's blue in a 2 color rainbow. Marge dropped a little bit, I think 24 hours ago making this rainbow she'd have topped it (outside Skinner). I feel pretty confident about the top 4 if I'm reading the game anyway close to correctly. Homer over CBG and Grumple was pretty tough, they're all in the same ballpark of gth town. I'd say Grumple looks the best from an objective stand point with his content from D1 but I just have a stronger feel for Homer. The gut knows best I guess. Anyway both are in the PoE 'cause it requires 6 names and they're the weakest links. I've somewhat mellowed out on Grandpa although I'm still waiting for some active content that doesn't revolve around low posters.

Allison Taylor wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 6:53 pm CBG sitting at 2 votes after half the game expresses suspicion on him and verbally agrees that he's probably the best vote for today is stinky. I think his teammates are trying to have their cake and eat it too by saying they scumread CBG so they get cred if he flips red, but in reality vote elsewhere so he doesn't die. LC was caught with this pattern in Grasslands Mafia. If CBG is town I'd expect the wolves to be piling on him for their free misexe because he's determined to make himself look bad. But all I see on his wagon are tumbleweeds.

Lisa especially seems to be going out of her way to cast shade on everyone but CBG. Grampa voted Homer over CBG after saying CBG was scummier earlier, and is tight-lipped about why.

Interesting take. Also pretty fair I think, he's been somewhat of a consensus scum read which you'd expect to be running away with the vote. Counter point would be D1 with Mill who was pretty similar to CBG and the wagons were tied until an hour before EoD. Not sure how long exactly before EoD the suspicion on Mill materialized though.

Maybe the wolves aren't in danger? And weren't in D1

Allison Taylor wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 7:10 pm Hugh, remind me again what your case on Krusty was? And does Otto (a strong townread of yours) having locked him town based on (presumably compelling) meta reasons change your view of Krusty at all?

It doesn't feel like his contribution is genuine game solving. His game has been revolving around piggybacking off interactions and making some off hand comments. He's been asking questions but I don't feel like he's reached enough conclusions, there is a lack of follow up and commitment to the takes he have that makes them come off as him not actually trying to solve or advance the game. There is also a lack emotion accompanying his posts and it feels as if he's not actually trying to figure people out. That might come from a personal interactions and how I felt he was handling me. Speaking of his handling of me, I felt like he avoided several of my come backs to him. And that just reinforces the vibe I have of his game so far, which is nitpicking stuff and no follow up so not actually trying to figure out someone. It also goes in hand with the off hand comments I mentioned, the nitpicking takes are a cheap way for wolfs to shade others and at the same time fake contribution. They feel slimy and not like a genuine townie being pinged by something.

I'm a pretty stubborn person, so no it hasn't at all.

My preferred chops would be Lisa or Krusty right now.

This isn't great imo.

why isn't it great?

why is it bad?

why?

I'm town and he has me in his PoE, obviously.

Lmao I did mention that you were Town GTH, but the PoE Gods demanded 6 names

What about the rest of it?

Think we're in different words though I think since I remember you having Alison and Marge in your

It's dinner time at the Jasses. See you in a bit.

I disagree. This doesn't say anything, it doesn't address the actual content of my posts themselves which you would if you were actually trying to figure me out. It's superficial bullshit which is your forte.

Grampa Simpson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 8:54 pm Someone sell me on Lisa

She's not a town-lean but also not a scum-lean for me, she's managed to remain null for me all of D2

that doesn't worry me now, but I'm seriously missing the scoop on why people have her in their POE

what specifically makes her wolf-y? or at least not town-y?

if the answer is "just do another ISO" I'll accept that, but I will probably need to do that overnight

I probably have 2 posts on her I think. 529 and 748. In the latter it's basically expanding on the wallie as a response to Bart a little bit, it's towards the end in pink.

Mr. Burns wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:14 pm Hmmm...

That may have been rude.

Would you vote please?

That would be EXCELLLLLENT.

I was just about to tell to fuck off lol.

Marge has been trending down and I keep thinking about her, I understand being absent but she's been in the thread and ghost voted since the vote on Burns wasn't on the poll early on.

I'd want to hear how she reconciled scum reading Gramps and then Burns. Former was because of what she perceived as him shading Burns which kind of implies Burns as Town unless she saw it as teammate indicative.

Disabling linki would do that but that'd be at the host discretion. Otherwise just pray no one posted while you were writing your post.

Nah I'm messing around, I started writing another post and forgot to put it on the poll for a minute lol

is it modkill?

The only thing I could come up for G was Game Host which might be in use in some community I guess.

Wtf is a GK lol

The WIFOM is wouldnt a wolf try a bit harder to project town by playing the game? Or is that how a wolf would play right now to project lazy town?


Folks have mentioned how hard wolves try on Syndicate, perhaps Homer's not-trying is a ploy to hide scum.

Half correct

I said most of my reads are the same and added a townread

I don’t have any other new reads

But I do have a post longer than two sentences now, so I’ve got that going for me

I am begging you to say something more than this in the next thirty minutes

I read the two posts you mentioned!

so we're on the same page, you don't like Lisa because her contributions seem random and cherry-picked, right?

I guess that's one way to summarize it lol. Have you read her stuff as well?

Grampa switch and let it rand if Homer doesn't switch back

noooo

you're breaking my heart

Mr. Burns wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:54 pm I'm trying to remember my entrance post...I'm guessing it was something involving Smithers and hounds and that I probably had it pretty well set in my mind before the game even randed. WTF is it with Syndi-cats and entry reads?

They're goated tbh, but here they're worthless when it's a pretty special games with the sockpuppet dynamic and the theme

The Grumple wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 10:01 pm from now on I will only read people based on their final posts

100% success rate

It's a mystery!

What's up Burns?

Probably a waste of time trying to figure it out, too many variables and mafia decisions are often very weird. Like the very reason could be to sow chaos and send us on a goose chase. Could also be to sell the idea of a comfortable Mafia group amongst non suspected people so they're not killing there to keep covers. There is a heavy dose of WIFOM though so opposite as well. One problem we got here though is that isn't really a towncore of sorts or even a consensus PoE. Everything's pretty disjointed. Another thought would be that it's a WIFOM kill from Lisa to lock in the townread from Homer, reminds me of a very recent game here on TS.

It's a rabbit hole.

Grampa's EoD2 looked pretty good. I liked our interactions and he did seems genuine in his thoughts and considering the different cases I had. Would like to hear more from him since his 2 main suspects just flipped civ. He's been trending up.
