His weird "imma just bottom half lol" and the fact that he's not here in losers with us makes him a top scum read for me... but he's not here, so yikes

Mac voted me, twice now but is refusing to give any sort of take on me. Dazzz sus af cuz to my memory scumMac is far more passive than that townmac. I doubt ScumMac is afraid of me persay, but i don't like the lack of interaction.

Alison has a tendency to Martyr herself as town and agressively pushing for her own death here, so keeping her alive while waiting for her reads to pay out or even just waiting for the inevitable early game night kill is enough reason for me to keep her alive for now. I think we always chop Alison Day 3.

Depending on how aware Daisy is if her own meta, she's loltown.

Gavial reads me as town which I don't really like cuz I haven't done much to deserve it, and the fact that they also want Mac and Alison dead, assuming they know enough to know of Mac and Alison's reputation here is ngl. Actually if they don't have knowledge of that, It could be BTSC informing them of that.

Tim hasn't said anything that's made me upset yet, and that's unsettling. I don't know how he died in Syn's game, so I don't know how you catch Tim, but considering he died earlyish in Stardew, a town Tim who's making sense is someone we might need to keep in loser and scum Tim might not last

I don't remember reading anything from TSP past the first page, which why i'm confused on how he made it to loser as well. This game might be solvable based on who did and didn't make it to loser, i'm gonna look there till someone tries to drag and I can fight them

No I don’t!

Then why did you say you'd never vote me?

Yeah, but like the problem is rather be scum read than neutral read. Being neutral read is lame

okay wait expand on this

makes sense to me anyways. bracket 2 is where the actual chopping happens. If you want to be in there getting your hands dirty, instead of sending all the wolfy people there to fight amongst themselves maybe you have an agenda

True, but anyone in the loser's bracket has a 50% chance of being yeeted, and I imagine it'll just be pure chaos. I get wanting to stay in the winner's bracket but the wolves have more incentive to stay there than to drop down.

Whatcha take on Tim this game?

Tim's coherent again, so probably scum

do you usually read tim correctly?

ish? I was right about him in the last game we played, but only because I was so wrong on him the game before. Basically, Tim making sense is a red flag for me, and everything i've read so far from him i've been able to follow and i don't like that.

if this is your real votes can you elaborate the scary ones?
laborating in lavendar. Alison and TSP are both players who are incredible at mafia, but are some how still underestimated and that spooks me. I really don't know if it's optimal to have them in winners or losers, but the fact that TSP is flying under the radar rn is a big blaring "It is time for us to panic " Siren.

Made wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 12:56 pm Also, this poll will have 128 votes by the time the day is over. I don't see how you can't hide ur votes here as scum. Multivariable wagonomics sounds disgusting

I don't understand what you mean here, the scum part.

I don't know how to approach scum hunt using votes in a game where there's so many of them. At this point, I want to throw a hammer at trying to understand meta/mechanics, and just vote for scummy players. Is that ever a bad thing to do?

u can not possibly have determined my alignment so early in game with such few posts that I had at that point.

No way you have experience with Mac and believe this. This is an attempted discredit.

you clearly said it was before I voted and said anything about MacDougall. now you are clearly saying the opposite. it can't be both. not sure why you are contradicting yourself here.

I don't want you to go to the 2nd bracket if um going to be there. but clearly u need to go there at some point.

it was mentioned you single handlely one a game here recently. were you town or mafia? if third party were u scum or town aligned?

it was a joke made was making, alison won that game as a 3p by outing most aspects of her role and being mechanically helpful in order to get carried to the endgame, and being given the mafia kill by the hosts for some reason after the mafia had been already defeated so we didn't realize we weren't still looking for mafia. it was a strategic victory and cool and everything but had nothing to do with freight train scumhunting like Made had implied

I wasn't trying to imply freight train scum hunting, although that not entirely inaccurate either tbh. What I'm saying is that if there's a player who can dunk on a lot of town simultaneously, It's Alison. I just don't want to under estimate her and lose again. As for her plan, I'm down to solve losers. I normally play a bit better on the back foot anyways. if she's bad and and we take her as a threat seriously, it's prob not lost to put her in losers as Tim is suggesting.

The question now is if Alison is bad, what's the angle? Based on current play Badison either sees some type of strategic advantage, or based on the direction the thread is going doesn't see a way out of going to losers and is trying to sell herself as an asset once she gets there.
@Timsup2nothin to be clear, you think sending Alison to losers isn't worth the risk, right?

I will be posting no further day 1 and merely observing you all and modifying my votes from this platform. My goal is to put 2 wolves in the night bracket.

My immediate concern is that if Alison is wolfing I see sending these eight as basically killing four town.

huh....fuck. I think keeping that in mind mitigates the risk there, but like if we fuck up, N1 is gonna hurt. Tho maybe it hurting regardless is just something to prepare for mentally

I'd have felt better if you had said something like "I am town and if she is a wolf I won't let her just steamroll the thread."

I mean she single-handedly won GoC...

@MacDougall do the thing where you explain to everyone how to play this game optimally

Daisycloud is reading identically to her play in Spiderman, prob just town.

@DaisyCloud do you have experience with Gavial?

That said, I'm surprised so many of you took my vote(s) seriously.

Riddle me this Mr. Marmot, if you were to take ur votes seriously where would they be

@hollowkatt what's ur vote philosophy this game? I'm trying to figure out if there's an optimal way to play this
