Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
Wow these were some extraordinarily town posts from dizzy. Not gonna lie holy shit. Its not gut, i think i can verbalize it if someone insists (by default id rather save the effort) but yeah. Dizzy obvious town
Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
I was thinking about jeraldooo as i was walking to the supermarket just now. I think its like this:
Baseline (level 1): townies try to scumread scummy people
Level 2: someone who scumreads a bunch of townies might be mafia
Level 3: someone who scumreads SO MANY obv townies has to be town due to not reading thread temperature / lacking pre-planned agenda
Level 4: someone who scumreads the entire town core is just ... Mafia? How are they ever town?
I kept thinking whether jeraldo is on level 3 or 4. My gut wanted to say 4, but the pessimist in me wanted to say 3 (as in ive been desentized to stuff like this already)
I apologize in advance if my townreads on dizzy and/or mp7 are wrong and jeraldo is town and he was right and im disparaging him, i really really really doubt its the case but its possible and id feel ashamed of myself just fwiw jeraldo
But yea

Come on, so many people have done this this game. Why pick out jeraldooo in particular?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:08 am I do not like that post from Jeraldo with scum reads with no reasoning.
Do you have a scum read on Alison?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:28 am What do people think about yeeting Alison just to see how she'd flip? Cause I think that would be pretty fun tbh tbh

I think you'd have a difficult time differentiating the two and getting a read on someone down that avenue of thought.

What do you think of the reasons he posted, for example that dyslexicon and mp7 have m/m interactions?
I don't have a townread on Michelle, so I'm afraid I cannot answer this question!

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
Hard townread jeraldoo here. I can see why they think what they think. Only one I can't confirm off the top of my head is m7 with dizzy but you guys probably talked early D0 about being happy to be town together or something. Way to lazy to fact check this on mobile though and just going on memory.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:08 am I think my preferred lynches for today are Jeraldo, Proto and Michelle. Maybe I'm too omgus, but I do not like that post from Jeraldo with scum reads with no reasoning.
Would like to hear what people who know Jeraldo thinks.
Jeraldooo not townreading tutuu. Makes sense to me because I didn't townread Tutuu in my first game with them either. It just went with the consensus townread on them. My current townread on them is meta based and needed experience of their baseline town game.
Lavender being town. Yes agree.
Cobbler being towny, yes agree.
1612 can hopefully confirm jeraldooo's reads as seeming legit but that's happening N1 instead of D1 seemingly.
Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
I forgot the reason he gave
I was just looking at his scumreads being me mp7 and dizzy and i just couldnt believe what im seeing lol

Lavender - seems like towny lav to me from previous games. Reaction testing and all. Seems very confident and makes me believe he’s town.

Sorry these notes were a lil rushed i almost fell asleep working with them.
Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
Urist, jeraldo didnt list any interaction or explanation there, he just said "these two have maf/maf interaction"
How can i have an opinion on that? What is your opinion on that?

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
As the jeraldooo whisperer, he's thinking of potential mafia pairs rather than individual mafia equity. Well, I assume so anyway. He basically thinks these people are not individually towny but are null and have decent partnership equity from perceived potential partner interactions.

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
Yeah he said that and he said: dexslexicon with their interaction with tutu saying that tutu is their biggest townread but i dont remember seeing anything good to tr tutu rn.
(lol at the irony of butchering "dyslexicon")
I'm asking you because you clearly think his reads are garbage, whether you've said it in such terms or not.
My impression of it is that jeraldooo is reading the game and looking for things which stick out, and calling those things scummy. He isn't analysing whether these things are scummish or townish.
The things he pointed out also happened very early in the game, so it's clear that he found a couple of things he could call scummy and said "that's good enough for now".
This is either a very shallow and lazy analysis of the game, or jeraldooo is simply mafia. I'm leaning toward the latter. What do you think?

Gonna have to disagree. Dizzy is freaking me out a bit and wants to banish me and some of my townreads. D1 here in hindsight won't be as pretty as last game imo for post game credit.

Re: The Lion King [Day 0]
im doing a quick skim before work and i would say michelle and jeraldo. i dont like jeraldo's post/reads list at all and it seems like...a post just to get a post in f that makes any sent.protocultures wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:46 amScirrus what are your top scum reads and why.Scirrus wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 10:54 pmDo you have any questions for me?

gun to my head i dont have a read on dizzy as well and i wished this wasnt so since he wasnt hard at all to townread last game. this could be on my part (paranoia that i might be wrong) (or paranoia that i might be overestimating myself and "spreading myself too thin" which might result in inaccurate reads if i try too hard). i dunno
my biggest focus this game will be trying to read alison. i really wish that if shes scum i can catch her. this is me reading all of alison's posts carefully and trying to catch her scumslip

I feel like I'm more or less an open book when I play but apparently others don't see it. Maybe it's bc I'm new, dunno
What made DIzzy easy to read for you last game?
What do you think of Jeraldo? How does he feel about playing town vs scum?
despite like my suspicion that alison *could* be scum i have to admit a lot of is just paranoia and i dont really see a reason she couldnt be town, idk

People play differently on forum vs chat mafia yeah? I am almost certain you guys aren't posting reads lists in your chat mafia games. Are you 100% confident of your reads despite that?

in hindsight, I guess it looks like I was distancing from Scirrus by scumreading them and then relaxing that scumread on them.
Lavender probably gonna tunnel me for 2 days straight after this.
still undecided where to place my vote for now, so will hold it.
i personally believe you're town tho

Alright. I see your reasoning. Why do you town read Michelle though, and also Proto? I have them both as possible lynches today, does that make me suspicious too?

I felt a genuine enthusiasm from Dizzy to connect with and engage with cobbler, as well as actual happiness when they found cobbler to be town.

Re: The Lion King [Day 0]
Nope! Because faking the previous playstyle earns him towncred from Dizzy and tutuu (Dizzy even made a joke about how if he was town he'd have posted a huge wall of mechanics). I think it makes more sense to me that proto would simply do what gets him townread as scum rather than intentionally deviating from his play. Is faking this 100% outside of proto's scum range? No, but it's less likely enough that I'm comfortable giving proto a townread for it, especially in the context of the rest of his play.

Not going to justify my townread on proto unless he gets close to banishment.
I don't think you're suspicious, just looking in the wrong directions. I also think that you're the type of player who builds an understanding of a couple of players' alignments, then uses that to build a broader understanding of the game as a whole. Is that wrong? If that's how you look at the game, it would make sense to me that one wrong read would lead to others.

Btw dizzy when urist said "scirrus vote on michelle is wrong" they meant "scummy" and not, well, "wrong". i also got confused

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
His given reasoning for the mp7/dizzy pairing was that he found their first interactions to be scum theatre. I'm paraphrasing and including subtext (like the fact that he clearly skimmed over pages 2-10), but that's what he said. I was asking what you thought of that, in addition to what you thought of his other analysis (that you are scum with dizzy).tutuu wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:43 am im getting nitpicky but please entertain me

I'll answer posts one by one from now on, if that is what you and others prefer. Maybe I'll reach an MP worthy post count as well =pprotocultures wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:00 amI wish you posted separately so it's easier to reply on mobile but let me try work through this.
No idea what Michelle flips. Not enough content to gauge alignment. Similar position to LC imo. I think Alison would think the same, but I may be mistaken. I have never seen Alison's town game.
Why do I want to sus Alison more if Michelle flips red? I read this as potential distancing/bussing from Alison. It seemed unlikely that Michelle goes over and Alison could get credit in later days for an early vote in Michelle. We in tinfoil territory and it prob won't make sense to other people even after I explain it. Also if Alison does flip red, I would also be wary of tutuu just in case their interactions were scum theatre.
Pinging people out as PR or mafia, but not vanilla town is pretty common in my mafia experience. I don't view it particularly anti town because when I am PR I will sometimes do this to sacrifice someone else to the mafia team. Make of that what you will.
Mafia has a team to find PRs. Our PRs don't and are operating solo. If there is a saving role, it helps them identify who they might want to save. Pinging it out makes it less likely mafia try for that kill because a save might be on them. I don't think it's purely anti town to identify PR or mafia reads. We will just have to disagree on this.
Your mafia team is small and identified. Your town team is large and diffuse because they can't identify eachother. The collective responsibility means it's easier to walk away. You can rant I'm still wrong, but this is my take on 1612's hypothetical decision making process.
You think my reasoning to vote Urist is scummy. Look at my day 1 in space invaders and reasoning there. I think it's pretty similar.
I still don't understand why you immediately go to bussing theories, but I don't know if that's important. Maybe you believe it. In which case, that is important. I don't know what else to say.
Agree to disagree about the PR stuff I guess.
You know, you remind me a lot about GCW who was scum in my champs game recently. Like a lot. It's like you're tailoring your views, suddenly having pretty strong reads like Alison is town and Urist scum and earlier Scirrus scum, but then I find the reasoning very lacking. Your focus on PR is also something GCW did, probably because it was on his mind and he was pretty straight forward in a way that also reminds me of you. Again, I'm a bit hyper aware that I just generally don't connect easily with your thought process. But them be my thoughts.

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
my reaction is more just me feeling out of sync with the game than frustration at you really. I just...can't find the time to do the solving i need to do to feel good about my play if that makes sense. Its become a thing in more recent games. So I thought that you saw that bleeding into your read of me.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:02 amNot trying to be rude here, but I don't really see what English as a second language have to do with this. You said you saw it as a joke in your initial reaction to it, so I saying later you have problems understanding jokes just seems like [excuse] and sidestepping the question tbh. One "foreigner" to another. Sorry if it's legit, but that is my reaction.Michelle wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 12:18 ami have problems to understand jokes English is not my first languagetutuu wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 12:23 pmyep, was a joke, just like the alison post
why would you dislike it even if u see it as a joke?
I'm a bit tilted by this reaction for some reason. It's like you're just taking a seat and giving up lol. Actually, I did not scum read you. BUT when I considered to pretend to do it I kind of talked myself into seeing it as possible. I kind of think some of your catching up was pretty generic and just standard "this is good town play" kind of things. I also get all the pings from how Proto is talking about you. First having you as a strong suspect for what I considered pretty weird things, like the strength of the accusation didn't match what he read you off of, and now backing off of it when you're actually a wagon. He also said he would vote Urist or Scirrus, which pinged distancing to me. BUT this isn't really about you lol. I just want to state this here in case one of you flip scum at a point, cause then I think that interaction is worth looking into. I actually did town read you at the start of the game though, that was my first instinct, and I didn't really mean for this vote to be anything more than shenanigans at first. It's like I reaction tested myself. Wow I broke mafia.
What do you two see in Scirrus?
Also lol, Michelle, I don't think clearing MP off of volume is how reading MP works imo. It's like clearing Hally on volume which is lol. Do you not think she can post as much as scum?

People play differently on forum vs chat mafia yeah? I am almost certain you guys aren't posting reads lists in your chat mafia games. Are you 100% confident of your reads despite that?

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
I guess that makes sense, but if you're town, which I do think, I'm looking to you to bounce off of. Not meant as pressure, just meaning that I respect your game. Play with the time you have and don't worry about it. I know what it's like to put too much pressure on yourself, but this is just a game after all. And I didn't really scum read you, I just wanted to see what happened if I went there (not necessarily your reaction even). You know. =pScirrus wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:49 ammy reaction is more just me feeling out of sync with the game than frustration at you really. I just...can't find the time to do the solving i need to do to feel good about my play if that makes sense. Its become a thing in more recent games. So I thought that you saw that bleeding into your read of me.

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
I didn't really think that deeply about it tbh. The post just hit me in the gut. I also think that kind of hit and run posting is > rand scum. It came off kind of lazy or disinterested to me. Again, not trying to be rude. I am, admittedly, a pretty omgusy player. But also, players who don't know me often likes to take a stab at me as scum, cause apparently I exude some kind of "easy target" vibes, which is like the exact opposite of how it works on my home site lol.tutuu wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:10 am I was thinking about jeraldooo as i was walking to the supermarket just now. I think its like this:
Baseline (level 1): townies try to scumread scummy people
Level 2: someone who scumreads a bunch of townies might be mafia
Level 3: someone who scumreads SO MANY obv townies has to be town due to not reading thread temperature / lacking pre-planned agenda
Level 4: someone who scumreads the entire town core is just ... Mafia? How are they ever town?
I kept thinking whether jeraldo is on level 3 or 4. My gut wanted to say 4, but the pessimist in me wanted to say 3 (as in ive been desentized to stuff like this already)
I apologize in advance if my townreads on dizzy and/or mp7 are wrong and jeraldo is town and he was right and im disparaging him, i really really really doubt its the case but its possible and id feel ashamed of myself just fwiw jeraldo
But yea
I guess more than anything I'd like to hear more from Jeraldo about his thoughts.

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
i mea yea its kind what i think i said already wrt jeraldoUrist wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:32 amYeah he said that and he said: dexslexicon with their interaction with tutu saying that tutu is their biggest townread but i dont remember seeing anything good to tr tutu rn.
(lol at the irony of butchering "dyslexicon")
I'm asking you because you clearly think his reads are garbage, whether you've said it in such terms or not.
My impression of it is that jeraldooo is reading the game and looking for things which stick out, and calling those things scummy. He isn't analysing whether these things are scummish or townish.
The things he pointed out also happened very early in the game, so it's clear that he found a couple of things he could call scummy and said "that's good enough for now".
This is either a very shallow and lazy analysis of the game, or jeraldooo is simply mafia. I'm leaning toward the latter. What do you think?
i dont know enough about him, i was entertaining both townreading him and scumreading him as i was walking eariler
i think id rather leave it to proto who i townread to read jeraldo for me at least for the time being. idk honestly
i dont like the concept of scumreads and scumreading ppl and pushing them and stuff. i just like finding towns, getting all cozy with them, and then doesnt rly matter to me who gets yeeted

Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
Who else have done exactly that in this game in your opinion? Genuine question. And it's not just the lacking reasoning for the scum reads, but also the pop in of it all.Urist wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:10 amCome on, so many people have done this this game. Why pick out jeraldooo in particular?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:08 am I do not like that post from Jeraldo with scum reads with no reasoning.Do you have a scum read on Alison?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 6:28 am What do people think about yeeting Alison just to see how she'd flip?

I don't really have a read on Alison.
Re: The Lion King [Day 1]
is he not playing literally the exact same game as space invaders? same tone, same stance, same energy, same everything?

Re: The Lion King [Day 0]
MP7 is super pure. I think she's town.Scirrus wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 10:39 pmdisagree because I think scum would be more hesitant to ask a scummy sounding question like that. Or would ask their teammates over the thread, etc.
If it's a scum question i think it would be newb scum and Urist doesn't strike me as a newb
I think M+ looks good so far, mostly bc of similarity to the last game I played with her. What are your thoughts?
