Fun fact I once found an article where the guy proved, mathematically, that the best strategy for town was to just vote at random every day. No discussion, just RNG.Le petit poussin wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 5:40 pmNot worth thinking about tbh.Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 5:37 pm The third option is that the kills were never sent in on either night, because the whole Wolf team is not on the ball. Which is why I said Jibay/NANOOK/Roxy, the lowest-posters, with Roxy an additional angle of her leaving the thread angrily. Was she upset about being caught as a Wolf, and failed to return in time to put a kill in, and with Wisdom gone, only Jibay was left to take care of business, but didn't realize?
Also, I do believe if there is no NK submitted, this is not mafia. but that's a problem for postgame (like EPi would ping the hell of wc or/and send a kill using random.org)
Can you expand on LC (assuming Long Con here)?Thunal33 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:32 pm I think Wisdom would remember to send in the kill n1 even if her teammates didn't. I'd guess it's successful protections or blocks, not just forgetting to submit.
I kind of want to buy LPP's derp clear. LC is strong town to me after EoD yesterday, and SVS is strong town because of her Wisdom push.
You made a similar post last EoD right as votes locked and left me intrigued. Why Thunal over Lime?
It's possible moto just didn't think of leaving breadcrumbs, or commenting on the person he protected being town. He is fairly new at the game, I think? And his activity was pretty bad, maybe he just didn't care.Thunal33 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:16 pmI checked, Moto didn't give any reads d2. But now we can narrow the no kill down to the jailkeeper (or no submission ig, but I don't think that happened) so that could be useful.Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 5:35 pm Two nights of no kills. We did have two protectors. Maybe motobot protected the right person on Night 1, did he mention anyone in a more pointed way or anything?
Or it was the Principal, protect-blocking someone each night. Double chance of stopping a kill, but then he doesn't know if he targeted the killer or the victim. Did it happen twice? Maybe.
I noticed it too, so I did some work during the night.Le petit poussin wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 5:14 pm A bit concerned by Lime Coke's behaviour at EOD2 (lurking, selfpressing onto motobot on top of my head. prolly need to check if he posted about that slot heh)

[VOTE: Wisdom] aubergine
The first post, from early game, and the last post, from late in the day yesterday, solidified a strong town feel, to my mind. This was very much a thing town did where we came from, and i view LC trying to start that talk up as definitely protown.Long Con wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 4:55 pm I was looking through the roles, and I found a couple of things:

I do think he voted in the last 5 minutes or something yeah. Can't remember the order though.Dragon D.

Turns out Lime did vote for Moto very early in the phase... but only in the thread, not in the poll. Here.
So I then tried to track when exactly he voted in the poll. If it was really near the poll locking, on earlier.
As of this post by Scotty, this was the poll:
(not gonna analyse the first 19 hours of the day. This is a DDL project not a JJJ one. The budget is not as high)
So Lime hadn't switched his vote in the poll yet. I then tracked the next votes to see how the wagons formed:Spoiler: show
scotty: Syn to 1 (Wisdom to 2)
LPP: Syn to 2
Daisy: Long Con to 1
DDL: Lime to 3 (Thunal to 1)
Jibay: Syn to 3
Thunal: Long Con to 2 (Wisdom to 1)
dunya: Thunal to 2
Roxy: Roxy to 1
Long Con: Thunal to 3 (Nanook to 0)
Then Long Con made another tally, where we still don't see the moto vote by Lime:
Finally, these are the final votes.Spoiler: show
Thunal: Syn to 4 (Long Con to 1)
LPP: Moto to 2 (Syn to 3)
Thunal: Moto to 4 (Syn to 2)
SVS: Moto to 5 (Wisdom to 0)
[[[Lime: Moto to 3 (Jack to 0)]]]
I don't know where to place Lime's vote exactly. I know it's after LPP, because a little after LPP voted, LC made another of his meme posts about ties, and the count only fits if Lime hasn't voted. But Lime's vote could be before Thunal's, after THunal's, or after SVS's.
Anyway, Wisdom was the one who started the moto wagon. LPP raised it to 2, since Lime failed to vote in the poll. Then Thunal, Lime and SVS put it at 5, in unknown order.
My take from this is that Lime is terrible here, because I feel like the odds of him appearing in the last 15 minutes and making a vote he had forgotten to make is way more likely if there are angry teammates tagging him on discord. It's not a 100% odd, but likely.
LPP and SVS are possible candidates for counter-wagons from mafia, assuming there was even one. Thunal not really, since if was self-pres.

yeah, I have reduce the wolf pool to Thunal/you in their towncore. I do share your concerns but I am not ruling it out (2 wolves in her towncore scenario). I will try to make my mind about it tmr (I see your wall but won't touch it tonight, too many words and it's past midnight here).Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:16 pm One thing that called my attention is that Wisdom seriously had a towncore. Namely me, SVS and Thunal. She also defended Scotty quite a lot.
I could see one wolf there, because statistics. Two, there is no way. The fact everyone in that core is someone I'm townreading due to the previous analysis rn contradicts that, though. Maybe it's really Thunal.![]()
it was purely based on the last game I played with them, where they were handled similarly as in this game and subsequently flipped town. not a good reason based on just this gameDragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:11 pm
9. Syn
from him: states he doesn't want wisdom killed D1, no explanation. Repeats D2, again no explanation

I have a story for you Nanook. A long time ago, in a far away galaxy, Tim, HK and I were woofing. We couldn't kill a villager before N3 lol. it didn't end well.
I have seen Rox floated as potentially bad becasue of the no kill, but I would doubt that, at least for that reasoning.Thunal33 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:32 pm I think Wisdom would remember to send in the kill n1 even if her teammates didn't.

Two thumbs up here, I don't share all of your conclusions, but if we all had the same thoughts, this whole thing would be boring and pointless.Dragon D.

Alternatively, just ISO the people yourselves. You should all be doing that anyway. And feel free to ISO me too, since I can't do that.
But really, interactions with Wisdom are the biggest piece of evidence we should all be looking at.
I like that he found a good mech strategy with LaFawnDuh which means he was actually thinking about how to make the mech better for town.Le petit poussin wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:46 pmCan you expand on LC (assuming Long Con here)?Thunal33 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 6:32 pm I think Wisdom would remember to send in the kill n1 even if her teammates didn't.

She is a responsible person, and will send in her PM if she has one. I saw her in a game once with a bad teammate, who didn't come to chat, who sent in team decisions with no discussion, and who basically went rogue in thread, and Roxy must have been at wits end (I heard this post game as i was playing) and i know she was super annoyed, but she did what she had to do and sent in her PM's.
So if she is bad (and tbh, I don't think she is) it isn't for that reason.
Well that's the thing, isn't it? Blocked or protected? Angel or devil? So you can't just make them townreads. So, what, a more advanced coded system, like "these are my townreads and THESE maybe I'm not sure about
Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:01 pm (not gonna analyse the first 19 hours of the day. This is a DDL project not a JJJ one. The budget is not as high)
Yeah we talked about that.
Fwiw I had a couple votes on Wisdom near EoD typed up while I was voting for Long Con and almost sent it, but I second guessed myself. I kind of kicked myself for that after the flip, I thought her EoD1 was really wolfy and I considered sheeping your read because I had you as town but I couldn't quite bring myself to get past her worry about being a manipulative person d1. I've actually written in my notes for improving in future games to not trust these "is this a thought mafia would ever have" reads as much as I have been.S~V~S wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:21 pm Seeing Wisdom flip bad gave me some feels, about how baddies act when they think they are safe.
I have to process all that, and read more to see who looks like they could be teamed with Wisdom as a good place for me to start.
The two people who felt most teamed with Wisdom to me, in retrospect, are Thunal and Dunya. I don't think they're teamed with each other, though.
In my first list, Dunya was prolly town, but I missed her on my second. Thunal I had as lean town first list, and firm town the second.
For overall various reasons I still feel townier re Thunal, but i plan to iso both.
I do think that whoever might have been teamies with Wisdom was fairly familiar with me, since she pocketed me somewhat, and I can be susceptible to that. Plus she was one of the people who responded when DDL asked, "Why is SVS town?"
@Dragon D. Luffy I read that towncore, at least as it related to me, as pocketing. But it could be possible.
In my last role madness game I remember people posting full lists of what they would have done if they were each role, but the host stepped in and said it wasn't allowed. The reason I said townreads was if the jailkeeper was choosing obvious NK targets because it's much easier to guess the NK than it is to guess the specific mafia that carries the kill.Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 8:04 pm Well that's the thing, isn't it?

Too obvious. Maybe everyone can give their own "here's MY jailkeeper targets!" in an I Am Spartacus kind of way, but that would just tip off to the wolves who it is.
I don't know that there's an easy way for the jailkeeper to communicate their targets to the thread before they die.
Fair analysis. I would say I interact less with players I don't really know, until I get a measure of them.Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2025 7:11 pm11. Long Con:

So obviously there are no 7 wolves, but I tried to ignore setup proportion when picking the reads, to capture what I really feel. This does mean I don't intend to touch those people in the Town list, unless someone can convince me to change my mind on those interactions.
There are some weirdnessess here too, like Syn getting a town read for defending Wisdom and nanook not getting it after defending one, but feeling plays a role here. I think one w/w defense is feasible, and Nanook is the kind of troll who might do it. Two defenses on different days is VERY bold, and I'm not sure if Syn would do it.
Daisy looks bad-ish in this list, but otherwise I've been feeling her pretty town. I kind of liked Long Con in D2 too.
Anyway, I really want to kill Lime here. I've been suspecting him for a while, his Day 2 is the worst ever and he doesn't look great interacting with our known flipped wolf.
Otherwise I'd be ok with yeeting Nanook, dunya, LPP or Jibay.
