33% still seems pretty good to me tbh

And lol why is rondo being pushed over a greenish check if wilgy is no longer being pushed
Because JPIC likes godfathers apparently. Also because we have some evidence of redirection fuckery going on.
Seems like shitty reasoning to me

why is it shitty reasoning?

we have good reason to believe cop checks are unreliable this game. why are we clearing someone because someone claimed to have a green on them?

Ignoring them entirely seems like a poor idea and hes townie besides that so

Maybe I need to reassess everyone on skim. I will do that.
I'm literally right here, wow
Well see the reason I want trusted town is so I can solve as a group and I tried to engage you on your Epi read and you memed at me so even if you are town you're not the type of town I am currently sourcing.
Idk what to tell you, he did his mafia stuff...he has seemingly no plan, he's posting a fair amount but most of its that kind of grey area not quite fluff but not quite reads either stuff, he makes consistent excuses for not having thoughts (in a vacuum this is whatever in combination with the no plan thing its scummy)

Basically hes trying but not in a townie way, idk if that makes sense as a way to describe it
All I am seeing is Epi being Epi?
Yeah its hard to articulate thats why I gave you a meme response instead

Its like

So he's presenting as "i don't have much time but idgaf" town epi yeah, with some flippant responses and stealing my gimmick

But he's actually been here a fair bit by his posting and his rl excuses are in practice excusing lack of thoughts more than they are lack of presence

And lack of presence town epi is, at least in my experience, keenly aware of his lack of presence and tries to find other ways to contribute. I really doubt town epi without a ton of time to devote to the game shoots town (admittedly a town he doesnt care for), then just goes on his marry well with seemingly no plan for how to contribute to the town moving forward.

Like it's not an ironclad read but I feel reasonably good about it, it's just super hard for me to articulate it in a convincing fashion that people can't just wave off as "thats just epi lol"
@Alison

Thanks, I'll mull over this

I think nanook is a villager at least

@Epignosis Could you walk me through your thought process when it came to shooting Axe?

Alright, I'm eager to see it.

Oh I didn't catch that, sorry. Lemme read.

Hmm. Interesting thought process.

Is it more likely to come from town Epi or scum Epi.

If I'm mafia, you wouldn't be here.

You would have held your shot and blasted Mac silently as mafia?

I don't think Epi would have taken the Axe vig threat seriously given who Axe is. If he's scum he probably just wanted to blast a townie then claim dayvig and skate by. The alternative is that he quietly shoots Mac with no accountability, which is what I would have done.

It isn't clearing, I think, but it's something to consider. Bussing isn't clearing either but it drives their town equity up. Not using a shot in a way that's super pro scum that they could easily have done does, too.

Also have to wonder if scum!Epi cares more about having fun or winning.

tutuu/MR seem like fine competing wagons to me.

Tell me please how do you read Rondo and why
closer to neutral than anything but i've been shifting around. i had him as slightly town before i left the thread yesterday and went to sleep. part of me feels that if the town's best guess is rondo we're probably not winning this game. whether that should have any effect on how i read him idk.

to be honest i feel like my heart thinks he's town and that i'm being somewhat peer-pressured into thinking he's wolfier than he actually is to me.

i think what i called abrasiveness in him is usually a wolf trait but i don't think it's wolfy here. not sure i can really elaborate on that, but just that he's been very consistently posting with attitude in every post i've read makes me like him more somehow. like it doesn't feel like an act.

as far as solvey stuff from rondo, i don't really have anything in mind, but i've melded with some posts and insights iirc and he seems to be actually contributing better than others?

like i'm not saying he can't be wolf but i don't understand fully why he's your first choice

A little townie.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 12:38 am All due respect to koba, who generally has decent reads, I dont think this is the game to sheep them posthumously

What makes you think Koba's reads are off today? Especially because POE'd players generally have better reads because they can cop check themselves?

Made wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 3:06 am Something I will also say, and i would if someone else chimed in here, is that this thread state feels very foreign to me.

I don't know if i've ever seen anyone talk about this before, but I feel like certain scum player combinations lead to certain thread states. Like if everything makes sense, but we haven't chopped a wolf, Alison is scum. If town is focused on a very secure poe, but hasn't hit anyone yet, Mac is scum.

This thread is chaos. Who is scum in successful chaos?

It is?

We have a pretty solid consensus POE and consensus towncore.

People are freaking out over nothing. There are slots that nobody objects to getting rid of. BoSyn and MR. So get rid of 'em.

There is even a chance that tutuu is the Djinn herself pretending to be a recipient and goading people into wishing for things.

That happened once btw.

Undeclared bastard game. Kinda annoying.

Pressure has dissipated off MR and that makes me uncomfortable. MR was widely suspected, and has done nothing to clear themselves since. I would like anyone who dislikes an MR vote or feels bad about their wagon to articulate why.

Two of MR/BK/tutuu being wagons here seems good.

Ruri is Phraze right?

If Ruri is Phraze they get a free ride to the upper POE (although not quite out of it) for not outing in her first few posts.

Urist wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 1:22 pm i still don't understand why made's retroactive claim makes him more likely to be town and at this point i'm too afraid to ask

The bottom line is that tree stump doesn't sound likely to be a scum role (what use would a scum who can talk after death be? Nobody's going to listen to them) and I think Made is genuinely a tree stump for two reasons:

1) He mixed up tree stump and immortality, I think if he was given tree stump as a fakeclaim he'd claim it correctly the first time rather than claiming "I'm immortal".

2) He has some pretty extensive softing of his role, including going to the extent of finding a Marvel character that had a similar ability to post as a reaction gif. This was done all the way from Day 1. I don't think that he'd go to such extent to establish a fake softclaim as scum.

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 1:49 pm Skimmed through Bo’s iso.

A lot of it is simply NAI with him. He doesn’t really roll up his sleeves and analyse much as town; I think he prefers to chat live with people and get a sense of them. And I give him a pass on that sort of thing anyway since he subbed in, possibly knowing he would just be a warm body and without any intention of playing hard, and has way too much to catch up on anyway.

The one thing that pings me about his iso is that it’s full of questions. Specifically, he asked me, Rondo, and Falcon all about what we thought, but seemingly did nothing with whatever our responses were (not bothering to check tbh). Tied to that, the only people he really talks to/about/around are me and Falcon, his CDC mates. (Not 112 though, whatever that may mean w.r.t. his associations with her, if anything.) And Rondo, actually. He is popping in, lobbing softball questions or comments at the people he’s comfortable talking to, plus one person extra, and then doing nothing else.

I think regardless of his alignment, Bo’s heart is not in this game. So there’s a high chance of simply misinterpreting his words and actions. But if anything stands out to me it’s his shying away from interacting with anyone outside a small circle including two of his familiar peers. That does suggest to me an attempt to stay out of the spotlight of others’ gazes beyond those he knows or maybe feels unthreatened by (sorry Rondo).

This is pretty hedgy for a site meta that boasts polarized meta reads on each other, and smacks of someone who is gearing up to push on Bo while retaining the ability to claim you townread him or at least didn't bury him after he flips town.

Scotty wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 2:56 pm Back to the sig/TSP conundrum. Neither is voting the same.

Which…ok, if they’re trying to hide out as separate entities, then that makes sense. sig is against claiming for fear of the soup nazi, so that makes sense.

But they’re linked and they’ve all but corroborated that.

Unless they’re not really masons, because they don’t have BTSC communication.

Or tsp just voted and sig hasn’t been around to follow suit yet.

But the problem with that is- neither have ever voted together yet. Breakdown in communication?

Either they forgot their narrative, or they never had BTSC, got a random check, and are living their own lives. Which I guess is possible, but I still don’t trust that

or they just have different reads lolll.

Do you think or know or don't know TSP is town by the way?
I’m gonna go with a solid yes, but not for the reason you’d think/been floated it’s something else.

Won’t go into roles further at this time since I’ve been very anti claim this game.

Yep I read this, and it tells me nothing of note, just that sig is corroborating

It means the clear is one sided. TSP has mech info that sig is town. Sig does not have mech info that TSP is town ("it's not for the reasons you'd think"), but has some other unrelated reason to townread him.

The main argument for voting Bo over MR is that MR is more helpful to town.

I find it hard to care which one of them goes over though.

Like we're just going to wind up exeing both anyway.

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 3:25 pm I'm a JOAT, the role I was born to play it seems.

Role cop – as it sounds
Role stopper – blocks the roles targeting my choice (not their own role usage)
Role watcher – observes what roles (not players or actions) visit my target
Role enforcer – strongmans my target’s own role action

I can choose one to use 2x.

I rolecopped tutuu N1 and hinted as much.
I tried to use my rolecop again on 112 and was unsuccessful.

Eating dinner. See you in DVC I guess.

Why not rolestop an IC?

Yeah I don't believe this claim. We have a claimed doctor and claimed cop and MR claims pseudo-doctor and pseudo-cop.
