To what?

I asked you for some updated reads

Oh. You were correct the first time. I have no answer, your honor.

Why are you coasting?

I have neither the time nor the energy, nor the patience for that matter, to play this game normally in these early stages. Too many people making too many posts that I will never read. So to keep my head above water, I’m just hanging out.

This would have been a much more interesting vig shot.

No it wouldn’t have.

The response still would have been, “Oh.”

I believed there were.

This is good then. I encourage you to shout at people about those names until somebody’s mind has changed.

Try looking into my head. The world looks different there.

I know what the result of my flip would be, so I can anticipate how interesting it would have been and what the reactions would be. None of it is very interesting.

I know lhf, but still, this was just purely cuz is lhf, and Bo voted Marmot, and Bo played similar as town this way before. And many people got suspicious on others like Sloonei, or whoever.

Oh. Wilgy and minimal-effort Sloonei are your non-Low-Hanging-Fruit options? Perhaps we have different definitions of low hanging fruit.

As long you don't have to do the work?

I mean that’s not a requirement, but it’s not inaccurate to say that I will not be heavily involved in any case-making today.

We can stop with the I am town statement cuz it means nothing. Something else to say, or only coasting and saying you are town?

Only coasting and saying I an town. That is the gameplan.

If I was unmotivated, I would not be in the game.

Master Radishes is quite clearly the JOAT.

Dizzy is town by default

Killing the so-called low hanging fruits is not a bad option in the absence of more substantial suspects.

There is too much blunt statement of reads and not enough discussion about the reasons behind those reads.

why is nutella town

Her self-reflection about the changes in her playstyle in the last year and this game in particular looked like she was honestly reflecting on her process right here and right now. I think it projected a town mindset.

I am seriously considering unvoting wilgy and voting belzy based on this page

One of the few substantial interactions I have had in this game was with Belzy. They got all indignant and did a bit of grandstanding about me not putting in as much effort as they seemed to want me to. I had never met Belzy before this incident, so I am unsure what to do with it. But my initial reaction in the moment was that it felt like a person who was genuinely frustrated with my perceived lack of effort/interest in the game.

Porscha wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 9:26 pm personally I am also willing to sus wilgy since the one game I played with them I had a confident read that was correct and I like to believe I can read them coherently. last game all wilgy did was shit post with emojis and until he started getting grilled for it and voted for it, he wouldn't let up on the shit posting. kinda feel like he's just shit posting again and won't be willing to interact strongly unless pushed upon

what alignment was he?

I strong read him as maf and he was maf. no role game tho so any shit posting is strongly anti-town IMO and it turned out to be correct

The natural bodily reaction is to read Wilgy as mafia. I would not put much stock in that being accurate one time out of one.

Porscha wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 9:32 pm why specifically mention mac here when he wasn't even in quotes and was pushing you as mafia. if he was incorrect in his decision you shouldn't trust him to just willy nilly decide what to do with everything especially when he wasn't included. why him and only him did you mention??

Because he initiated a line of dialogue with Belzy which intrigues me. Mac is a player that I have over a decade of experience with and am interested in seeing what can come out of this exchange.

Discounting a player for pursuing a read of me on Day 1 of a mafia game would be the silliest thing possible.

By keeping a collective level head, eliminating players from suspicion when we can, and keeping communication as open as we are comfortable with.

everyone's pretty lost i think because there's just so much to read, follow and consider that it's not really possible for a lot of people to get a full view/map of the game

and bcuz of this there's not a lot of teamwork manifesting; we're all just doing our own thing.

or maybe it's just me and i'm projecting onto everyone else lol

Let's all try to help each other solidify reads.
