Yeah, I think need to redo this one. "I think I'll stop here" is not a sufficient level of analysis for this point in the game. Further, I ended up overstating Ricochet's contribution to the bus, when in looking at the general game state and what they were trying to accomplish with their ISO does not seem like an enthusiastic effort to bus.leetic wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 2:01 pmWindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:32 amI'm curious what your thought process is, and tbh I keep forgetting you're in the game because I haven't seen anyone from West Facility mention having a read on you.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:30 am@Ricochet i know it's been a while since you last popped in, but when you catch up, I'd like to hear your take on the current wagons.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 1:41 pmFalcon hasn't shared any townreads?Ricochet wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 1:10 pm So I'll work my way from the wagons to others, within my capability.
Wagons
Overall, I'd favor a falcon lynch over a Lemon or Monroe one. Grouping bias is a factor, cuz I've played and judged falcon down in West, whereas I know less on why the other two are wolfread or didn't catch all the details from others' cases.
Between Lemon and Monroe, I'd place Monroe within question marks, both in regards to why they've become a D3 wagon and what they've done in response.
So, falcon > Monroe > Lemon
falcon
West - pyxxy connection: none that could have been established, because they interacted with / mentioned each other a total of zero times
West D1-D2 judgement: ended D2 with a low opinion on him and down on my would-vote list; excluding pyxxy connections I considered (Porscha, Delta), he was the lowest ranked de facto. West gameplay resembled current gameplay: brief intervals of engagement, much of which was spent prodding others (with a degree of randomness, never focused) or reactive-toned defending when voted/wagoned
D3 judgement:
-- pretty much the same, tone and grasp of play have not improved.
-- noted him hitting back in rebuttal form at most of his wagoners (Sloonei's characterisations, calling MRadishes opportunistic, bark back at nutella), plus placing three others (leetic, sig, Abigail) within wolf pairings with no reasoning. so pretty much a kind of "you're all bad" howl.
-- parked defense into two main ideas: that the Western nightkills are a frame and that he is towning like mad and we fail to see it. Former boils down to wifom, as leetic also said; latter is not something I can agree with, based on what I've judged. I've read or remember no strong meta read from others on this gameplay, as it stands, being town!falcon indicative
-- meanwhile, withheld to offer townreads (apart from not wanting to vote LC and Epignosis).
-- of his votes, Abigail and Monroe were/are without discernible cause. Monroe isn't even the counterwagon to self-pres on, at the moment
Monroe
D3 judgement: only 3 posts, of which their essence is an aggro response and vote on Epignosis (for their vote / case on them); other reads (Delta ping, wouldn't wagon Lemon) all vague. It doesn't look great, of course, to drop and omgus upon the very first interaction with a player from the other group. But also not the deepest material to make a solid case out of. Hence the question mark status.
Lemon
D3 judgement: I'd structure 3 phases, thus far, of activity.
-- first phase (posts 1-3) in which she mentioned postponing activity and also a statement on the merger being a sensible disorienting moment. I think some wagoned her starting for as little as this and, without proper context if this would classify as a pattern from wolf!lemon (that I can remember), I felt it was undeserved.
-- second phase (pre legacy post), with a first wave of rebuttals (at nutella and Windward). something about wanting to sit more on it. at worst, could display nerviness in face of pressure.
-- third phase (the legacy post): quite a shift from small bites to extensive reads. rebuttal-wise, argues more than the cases on her are not solid or convincing, then also tiers the wagoners based on individual performance. if this alone (or more of this throughout D3), without suss pressure, would have been Lemon's activity, I'd probably read it well. given suss and wagon pressure, I am missing meta info on whether Lemon would as to go steroids, from feeble to opinionated, as wolf. also, a bit funny to have labeled it as "legacy", as if the lynch is a done deal.
tldr: falcon suss (with no prevailing meta info that he towns this way), Monroe who knows (startled by bad form, but tis all so far), lemon no real ping on her elaborate reply
@falcon45ca is this true?
And actually, the way Lemon said she expires D3/D4 made it sound more like she might die from a mechanical effect and not just because she might get lunched. I could be reading into it too much, though, and I know she can't confirm or deny it.I think I'll stop here.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [Day 4]
I'll probably go through WWA's ISO page by page, starting with Ricochet. Pages 10 and 11 have nothing, so here's page 9.
So gives this response to try to get Ricochet to contribute. Epi was convinced Delta was pyxxy's partner due to similar interactions, but that case turned out to be untrue. "I'd like to hear your take on the current wagons" seems to have prompted Ricochet's look at people on the falcon wagon, which was seemingly a vehicle to try to spread suspicion on someone other than falcon or Lemonfairy. For their part, Ricochet gave WWA a townread, a more unconditional one than just about anyone else who was on the wagon.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:32 amI'm curious what your thought process is, and tbh I keep forgetting you're in the game because I haven't seen anyone from West Facility mention having a read on you.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:30 am@Ricochet i know it's been a while since you last popped in, but when you catch up, I'd like to hear your take on the current wagons.
Perhaps this is where my "coordinated bussing effort" thought came from, as I'm not sure why she would point out information that looks bad for falcon in response to that vote, although Ricochet had already decided to bus at that point so it wasn't like they were nudging Ricochet into voting falcon. They seem to defend Lemonfairy at the end, too, so it could be a "sacrifice falcon to save Lemonfairy" situation (I guess Lemonfairy was starting to put some effort at the end of the phase, which may have made them more valuable than falcon at that point), still I'd expect Lemonfairy to vote falcon for towncred if that were the case. Maybe they were hoping Lemonfairy wouldn't attract too much attention?WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 1:41 pmFalcon hasn't shared any townreads?Ricochet wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 1:10 pm So I'll work my way from the wagons to others, within my capability.

Another minor thing that looks good, if Ricochet was faking it (we don't know if one or both of them were real) presumably he wouldn't want people knowing about it.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [Day 4]
And apparently only one more Ricochet interaction before the flip, so I didn't even need to split it lol. I mean, it's an interaction based on someone else's interaction, so it's a bit hard to glean things here. Maybe it's a little weird that they decided to focus on Cape's read of Ricochet over anyone else, but that's about all.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 3:17 pm I feel like cape isn't solving with the intent to root out the other mafia team, and not to win the game for town. I think it's very likely his confidence in his reads comes from knowing who he's not teamed with.
And I don't remember him mentioning Ricochet much before suddenly putting them in townreads? I'll try to check again but my flight is boarding soon.
I'm going to move my vote just in case I don't make it back again before eod.

Did her own thing and didn't really get mixed up in any larger arguments or discussions. Probably a few individual posts I'd lean 'town' on, but nothing I'd call unfakeable. Readslists seemed a bit questionable (e.g. the quieter Nook and Dizzy higher up, someone chatty like Windy unsorted, a sudden drop of Dizzy, etc) though they all were given explanations. Big drop off D2.
Feels like a slot worth pushing, but not a definite hit.
Haven't really paid attention to the individual votes on her.
she sorted me as a townlean later on but I'd have to recheck her reasoning on that.
she didn't really seem to be too interested in my vote on her and acknowledged that I've been questioning her since sometime on D2, so I guess that lines up at least.
I feel like if she's one of those players who loses motivation after losing 2 partners on D1, she probably would flip wolf here, but the 5 votes on her are kind of interesting. I felt decent about Sloonei and nutella voting Lemon, then I voted her too, and then Dizzy and Nook went back and forth on each other but both ultimately landed on Lemon. I'd be curious to hear their reasoning, in their own words, because they're also both from our thread, so I feel like they might have substantial opinions even if they're testing the waters first.
Page ten of the ISO (no interactions on page 11). Okay, I see why I was willing to skip WWA, as it does look like a strong push, and I believe that was before the falcon wagon was even a thing. They were the third vote on the wagon however (by their own admission) and got just a little bit hedgy when it grew to five. Voting a partner with a wagon on them so early in the day is certainly a bold move, but I'll have to see where this fits in their overall progression before making any further conclusions.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 1:34 amI didn't really think of it like thatCape90 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 9:09 pmit's almost like lemon is saying "yeah i agree that i should be shrugyeeted here" like the consensus was here at this time.

I think each side has better reads on their own facility than the other and even if we paraphrase, a lot of context can get lost
while we did have N0, it almost feels like I should start over with reads on the West
maybe have 2 separate reads list and then combine them together later
isn't that a kind of easy thing for scum to fake, though?

At this point is moving away from wolfreading Lemonfairy. It could be Lemonfairy giving them an excuse to get off their wagon, though I believe the wagon petered out at that point. And granted, they seem to be following ITP Cape90's read here.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 11:26 amI still need to finish reading her wallpost

It doesn't look great, of course, to drop and omgus upon the very first interaction with a player from the other group. But also not the deepest material to make a solid case out of. Hence the question mark status.
Lemon
D3 judgement: I'd structure 3 phases, thus far, of activity.
-- first phase (posts 1-3) in which she mentioned postponing activity and also a statement on the merger being a sensible disorienting moment. I think some wagoned her starting for as little as this and, without proper context if this would classify as a pattern from wolf!lemon (that I can remember), I felt it was undeserved.
-- second phase (pre legacy post), with a first wave of rebuttals (at nutella and Windward). something about wanting to sit more on it. at worst, could display nerviness in face of pressure.
-- third phase (the legacy post): quite a shift from small bites to extensive reads. rebuttal-wise, argues more than the cases on her are not solid or convincing, then also tiers the wagoners based on individual performance. if this alone (or more of this throughout D3), without suss pressure, would have been Lemon's activity, I'd probably read it well. given suss and wagon pressure, I am missing meta info on whether Lemon would as to go steroids, from feeble to opinionated, as wolf. also, a bit funny to have labeled it as "legacy", as if the lynch is a done deal.
tldr: falcon suss (with no prevailing meta info that he towns this way), Monroe who knows (startled by bad form, but tis all so far), lemon no real ping on her elaborate reply
@falcon45ca is this true?
And actually, the way Lemon said she expires D3/D4 made it sound more like she might die from a mechanical effect and not just because she might get lunched. I could be reading into it too much, though, and I know she can't confirm or deny it.
This post stood out in hindsight, as we now know that there were two arbiters who bussed falcon and that Lemonfairy was the only remaining arbiter that was off-wagon. It could be an attempt at misdirection if they are a wolf.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 8:22 pm anyone wanna discuss the Lemonfairy and DM wagons yesterday that were the alternatives to falcon's wagon? I would not be surprised if we had all remaining landlords (including Abbi) on falcon and the Arbiters on the counterwagons.
Eh, falcon had one teammate that was on DM, but it was Lemonfairy funnily enough. WWA isn't pushing this worldview too hard, which is an alright sign I guess.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 11:54 pmEOD3 votecount.S~V~S wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 8:00 pm Who is trying to sabotage the team?

I think falcon's vote on DM is *probably* indicative that he also may have had teammates on DM and maybe Lemon trying to save him, depending on whether they spread out or tried to consolidate. The one thing about his vote on DM that gives me pause is that he kinda worded it like he was just voting to self-pres, and that's still a move a wolf can make on a teammate, but DM arguably had a sizable wagon on them.
I really question why Davos the sock was voting Lemon rather than falcon, though. And I don't see Scrappy's vote, but at least they've been more active than Davos. I don't know where Davos's reads even come from because all they ever say is "Arrr!" which doesn't really tell us much.
A bit theatry of an interaction, and I don't have the meta to know if either of them interact with their partners like that. It does follow from their early D3 interactions, so there is that.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:45 pmI said "low" because I couldn't remember any and I skipped a chunk of posts in my catchup.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [Day 4]
Page 8, and the last one pre-flip
Lemonfairy's comment here is interesting, as we know both their remaining partners did bus falcon. It does give an opportunity for distancing, I guess.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:50 pmeven though there were two other wagons as options (DMs and yours), and at that point none of falcon's team had flipped yet?Lemonfairy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 9:27 pmwith so many people on him, yeah, they probably bussedWindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:53 pmOk, thanks for sharing.Lemonfairy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:48 pmhaven't sorted them yet but I like Epi's case postsWindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:44 pmFair
Have any of your reads changed since the falcon flip?
ig leetic's were not bad either
Do you have any thoughts as to whether someone on falcon's team bussed him or if his partners stayed off of his wagon?
I mean, if he was going to go over anyway, why not get the cred?
or do you mean more of a late bus when it seemed like he was almost definitely going over?
Another theatre-y interaction. I'm not sure if they were trying to push each other here or just arguing for the sake of it.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:51 pmall rightLemonfairy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 9:31 pmI don't think I said anything of the sortWindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:55 pm??Lemonfairy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:52 pmohWindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 2:45 pmI said "low" because I couldn't remember any and I skipped a chunk of posts in my catchup.

that's fair ig
I thought you were making up some BS reason to scumread me out of nowhere
which now I know was my mistake
carry on
you're the one who pointed out that I had actually sussed you in the East Facility thread before. it wouldn't be a reason I pulled out of nowhere as an excuse to scumread you, for sure.
iirc the reason you sussed me in the first place was because I had you consistently at the bottom of each of my read lists (which I explained were unordered) and also due to my low activity, which was fair enough
but saying I had low activity when I in fact was not actually in the thread makes me think you made up your suspicion on me because it reads to me like you are acting as though you've read my posts when you haven't
and it's an easy breezy way to start scumreading someone artificially
hence my reaction
it would be stupid for me to lie intentionally about your activity to push you if it's easy enough for anyone to look for receipts in the thread, though
Does suggest a Lemonfairy vote to Epi, so it's not like that suspicion completely disappeared. Still though, a little odd when more of the recent posts were either defending Lemonfairy or arguing about non-alignment-related stuff.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:59 pmI'd rather Cape than DM
but why not Lemon?
The only Lemonfairy interaction from D5 before the flip. It is interesting that WWA's activity rose sharply after their death; the two of us were neck-and-neck before with me being ahead in terms of postcount for much of it, but now they have 150 posts over me. Still, that could be explained by the rapidly thinning amount of people from their side meant that they had to try harder to defend themselves.WindwardAway wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 1:54 amIsn't that like, all the remaining lowposters from East Facility?

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
I can see good arguments for and against WWA and Delta being the last wolf. I'd like to be able to talk to them, but my touchscreen barely works so it'll be a challenge to be online most of the time. First a power outage, and now this. Man, F3s are stressful.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
At a glance, the Epi kill seems to point to Delta. Epi was pretty much focused on Delta (and Wilgy), to the exclusion of anyone else. The thing is, does WWA have a better target here?

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
After going back and forth on it a little, I think I have a decision. [VOTE:
WindwardAway] aubergine No, this is not just because of symmetry between the threads, but I would be lying if I said that didn't factor in a little. In reality, there are two major things that make me have a hard time seeing Delta as the remaining wolf:
1. Delta has better-looking interactions with the flipped arbiters. If Delta was an arbiter, then all three of their partners tried to push them aside at every opportunity for little apparent gain. While WWA has some interactions that look decent at a glance, there's nothing that couldn't be said to help advance a wolf gamestate, especially when the dynamics of the wagons and WWA's progression are taken into account. But Lemonfairy having them as their lowest read? Ricochet having Delta in the same really low tier as falcon, meaning they had two partners in that thread, a likely huge advantage, and disregarded them both? falcon opportunistically joining thee push too? It seems all excessive, especially when you can't say they really gained any towncred for it as none of them ended the day on Delta. It was likely setting up Delta for a future PoE,
2. In order for a solo wolf to make it this far, they had to have a solid plan. If Delta is a wolf, it's clear that they've just made it here via dumb luck. Like, they had to have it pointed out to them that they were roleblocked N7, would a wolf really be this careless? Delta seems more in line with the weakly positioned townies that wolves love to leave around at LyLo so they can swoop in for an easy victory.
Ultimately, I think you played a great game regardless of what happens and as BDS said of my play in one game, it's not one big thing that gives you away but a bunch of little things that make sense if you're the last arbiter. I'm still open to hearing arguments and being swayed, so feel free to defend yourself, it's just that this is the direction I'm strongly leaning in at the moment.

Well, Epi cased me specifically as an Arbiter a couple days back, so if there's any reason why I'd kill him, I'd say that's probably a good one lol

And since I'm not gonna be around for the last 12 or so hours I feel like my time is better spent figuring out to vote? I'm not surprised at all that im alive in LyLo, normally I'd think it's because my reads are wrong but in this case I'm fairly sure it's just because I'm PoE

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
Doing a quick skim of yesterday and I just feel no urgency from Delta to solve
I mean yeah it could be easily explained by Wilgy being pretty much guaranteed to flip by popular vote
Which is why I said yesterday it felt like Delta was just sitting back and letting things happen. But I don't know if that's a wolfy approach. I guess Wilgy was right and we were in LyLo yesterday too
meaning if we'd landed on town, town would already have lost and we would've been picking which wolf we wanted to win, lol

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
I would think a wolf would want to solve the game at that point yesterday, when it's LyLo for town and wolves have another day to figure out what they're doing. But maybe it benefits them more to keep the other wolf alive for another day, to guarantee that town doesn't win?
Or it might depend on the night kill assignment. If it's alternating like we think it is, I guess wolves don't want to get killed by each other.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
Something I'm also thinking about is leetic's argument that Davos belonged to Brad rather than Wilgy or me, while Delta took the same view as I did, that it had to be someone still alive. I don't know that I wouldn't have voted Wilgy if I believed Brad could be the owner, because Wilgy's counterarguments to me still sounded like he had a perspective he shouldn't have if he were town. But I'm wondering how differently yesterday mightve turned out if we had all agreed that Davos counted as a full landlord slot on their own, giving a clear advantage to the landlords if that narrative were pushed.
If you push that narrative as an arbiter, where does it get you? A LyLo with two wolves and a townie? Which is probably better for a wolf that has trouble faking scumhunting, since they have a real wolf to push on the other team. But it's also risky if the two wolves reach a consensus on voting the townie because presumably only one of the wolves has the kill assignment, and I'm sure they'd both be aware of that.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
Sorry if this seems like it's going off on a tangent but I think I need to understand what the motivation would be for the Arbiter to play how they did yesterday. Obviously they went for pushing Wilgy; everyone did.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
I've been trying to read Wilgy's posts for whatever good that does.
Because I do believe he was genuinely hunting for the last wolf, but then again it wouldn't have mattered to him who got lunched as long as it wasn't him.
He put extremely heavy suspicion on leetic two days ago and said he'd bet the game on leetic being a wolf, but spent all of yesterday pushing back against my case that he had to be Davos's owner and that I had to specifically be an arbiter to think that, and didn't really revisit leetic at all but instead pointed a weak finger at Epi, who has since flipped town.
But like, no, that was a bogus counterargument and Wilgy knew it lol. Wilgy was the only other one besides me from East Facility. And Davos flipped landlord. So that's the thing that sealed the deal for me, Wilgy never truly scumhunted me, he pushed me for being a wolf on the basis that I was pushing that he was a landlord, which he was.
This came up cause I was looking through leetic's posts from the day we yeeted Davos, and it got me wondering, how close were we to a full solve that day, as compared to yesterday? There was more pushback then, while yesterday was considerably more quiet.

This would mean WWA/Wilgy still have mafia potential.
Epi doesn’t make sense as mafia for either team right now given that he’s encouraging we look at both areas.
sig wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 3:09 pm I’ve got that end of game certainty now that the final two mafia are Wilgy and Leetic. I’ve got very little solid reasoning to back this up, but it just seems like the most logic thing, having said that I will be reading up on those two before eod and hopefully everyone else also, but it just doesn’t seem viable that both mafia are West with only 2 West players left
I've been reading through D7 again and Sig's reads caught my attention againsig wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 3:11 pm Or I guess it could be delta, but they read very genuine as a lost civ, Epi seems to have been hunting both team evenly, and I guess that leaves WWA.
Now the big reason to suspect Leetic is they seem to have really slowed down and take a back seat. I also find the way they’re pushing Nutella read post death to be a bit scummy.
I’m open to hearing other thoughts, buuuuut given I literally don’t have a town core anymore I prob won’t listen![]()
I said yesterday that I didn't see Wilgy making the Sig kill except maybe for one post above these quotes, where Sig said Wilgy was pretty towny but also probably was a wolf anyway.
But looking at these reads again, they also point to the possibility that leetic could've killed Sig. I'm certain Delta couldn't have killed Sig because of their missed votes, and I think Sig's leetic take is notable, given that leetic and Wilgy had been pushing each other all day. Of course this still could've been a Wilgy kill, but either way I think leetic/Wilgy being wolf vs wolf in the thread is a pretty striking take. I said that I thought it *could* be two wolves consolidating on the Davos wagon just before eod, and it wasn't Epi, and it also wasn't me.
What I said in my observation that day, when Wilgy and leetic were going back and forth, was that leetic seemed to be focused on pushing whoever was about to perform the next night kill, while Wilgy was pushing whoever he thought was wolfiest. I still believe Wilgy was genuinely wolfhunting at that point in time, because I thought at least some of his case against leetic made sense, but I shelved it because I believed Wilgy was simply more likely to flip wolf, and Davos was going to be a key flip (and I was right about that). I believe that leetic pushing on the basis of "who performed the kill on which night" is a pretty convenient way for a wolf to hunt a wolf on the opposing team, because they can genuinely focus on it while knowing already which kills were theirs.
I was Wilgy's secondary push that day. Wilgy said I probably wouldn't flip town, but didn't put any casework into pushing me until the next day when it was very blatantly OMGUS. Feel free to go through his case on me from yesterday and tell me whether you believe any of it was valid, btw. The tone of it was nothing like how he cased leetic the day before. And when I look at leetic's response to being pushed by Wilgy, I see that they drop their push on me to start pushing Wilgy back. Suddenly their case on me takes a backseat to Wilgy, and notably I'm not really pushing leetic at all there. I fence-sit for a while, say that I think leetic is wolfier but Wilgy is more likely to flip wolf, and that I think we need the Davos flip first. What I think now is that Sig saw how leetic shifted gears when being pushed, and correctly determined that it was the last two wolves pushing each other.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
all good, wb o/
I'm kinda just running through some things and trying to build points in favor/against both of you
I dunno because it feels like a split of 'did our thread have more wolves' vs 'was just clearing the other facility gamewinning anyway'
and I really dislike that it comes down to that? but eh
you're in a better position to talk on that so would like some thoughts there

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
So I am going to crossvote leetic, although it's not really a true crossvote because votes aren't locked, but I think they're more likely to be the last wolf than Delta is.

It would either be 3 landlords + 1 arbiter in East and 2 landlords + 3 arbiter in West
Or 3 landlords + 2 arbiters in East and 2 landlords + 2 arbiters in West
So either way, counting Davos, one side has 5 wolves and the other has 4. And of course you can argue that only one arbiter on the East side is kinda poopy, I can't really prove to you how alone Lemonfairy felt in the East thread because I can't quote and also I'm the only one still alive from East, so of course you're not obligated to believe anything I say about it, either. I pushed Lemon harder in the East thread. Everyone did, actually. I thought she'd maybe even flip at some point, but her wagon always built up kind of early and then someone else's surpassed it and the interest in her wagon waned. She wasn't super active in the East Facility, said she was busy irl, and she kept posting these strangely stagnant readlists that a lot of us commented on. At some point her wagon was at 3 or 4 votes, iirc, probably Nanook, Nutella and me. And I think Davos voted her, too. She did reply directly to questions to her, but she wasn't super interactive with anyone because she was in the thread in short spurts.
I do think the landlords having Davos in East explains why they were fine with bussing Brad, but the arbiters seem to have had the exact opposite tactic in West since none of them flipped there (falcon didn't flip until the threads were merged), but it seems like it's served them well. They probably didn't count on Ricochet and Lemon flipping when they did, so attitude shift is something to look into. Leetic did already pointed out that my postcount hiked up around that time, which I'm sure is true, because of my travel schedule xD

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
Actually I feel bad for Lemon now, not having someone else to wolf with for 2 days is rough
I guess the same can be said about Wilgy since Brad went poof on D1
Things like this are why I don't really think there was ever meant to be a perfect balance, though, the game just kinda (un)balances itself out over time
And I think it makes enough sense that one team had the upper hand in West and the other team had the upper hand in East

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
If you want points against me, you can take a look at Epi's case on me a couple days ago cause I think he quoted most of the interactions I had with wolves there
If you want points for or against leetic you can also look there lol
I don't really think he was killed for his reads going into LyLo so much as that the only one who didn't seem to townread him was Wilgy lol

If it was just Wilgy in this thread & more Landlords over in ours, it would make more sense. I dont see the Arbiters being punished for Landlords having more players on one side, because they still had a more even split of 2:3. 1:3 with one wolf being the only way that team sees the thread.. doesnt feel all too feasible.
I hope that makes sense? I dont want to lean on unconfirmed mech too heavily but in my mind.. it feels like the Arbiters were on the backfoot as is out of the two teams if they had 1 less player (technically), I dont see them then being further punished for it by splitting them 1:3
Has anyone else from your thread commented on Lemon feeling alone?

He was pretty much defending Lemon with his life and saying that she felt very towny because of how frustrated she was getting about being pushed, with nobody defending her

man
I feel like even now, you should've clocked sooner that Lemon couldve been alone in the thread if you were pushing that Wilgy was the final Landlord
though I guess I shouldve figured that myself since I didnt think it was just both of you for final wolves yesterday
I'm gonna double check smthn but. eh. 1:3 feels so rough.

Re: Game of Champions- Merged Thread [DAY 9]
Cause the way Wilgy was pushing back on me yesterday sounded like he was CFTWR and a possible Arbiter, but I also still logicked that he was more likely to be the Davos puppetmaster than Brad and focused on that
So after Wilgy's flip, yeah, I shouldve thought about the weird Arbiter split, but it's clear anyway from my pov because I'm the only one alive from East anyway lol
