[Vulgard]

Catching up.
Tutuu is my top town at this point. I don't think she would be capable of fooling this entire playerlist for so long in a game where she randed mafia for the first time since ancient periods.

[Poison]

I'll be talking about my reads after sometime, need to grab breakfast, or lunch it's almost 1 am. shouldn't have slept this long. wtf.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Vulgard
Poison
Arete
Hally
112
Ted
Dunya
Long con
Wilgy
Triplehaven
Tutuu
Nanook
Michelle
TSP

why is nanook so low?

He has it bad for me

[tedxtr]

i have a much more likely than what I'd like it to be chance of getting flash wagonned while I'm sleeping

i hope i'm wrong, I really wanna figure this out :cheer:

[Vulgard]

Aaaa

Catchup. These thoughts are roughly ordered.

Hally is ?probably? town. Liking the concern about getting their read right, I think it’s slightly unlikely to come from mafia. That said, since it came from Hally, I’m less inclined to treat it as clearing.

Michelle still OMGUSing people.

TSP’s initial catchup feels strange. It is mostly commentary, rather than alignment reads or anything else I would perceive as towny. I don’t like the way he throws out his reads, either. It feels like he is doing it for the sake of having reads, instead of because he believes in them.

Dislike the hedge in #1498, it feels like mafia trying to keep their options open.

I think ted has become more towny in the meantime. I specifically like the way he is handling TSP. It feels like his progression is flowing naturally and there isn’t anything artificial about it. #1536 #1537 #1538 #1539. He also offers a good explanation of his read in response to Hally later on. #1579 is also an excellent post.

Yeah, at this point I’m comfortable with putting ted in my towncore.

Not sure what to think about 112 randomly popping in, post #1560. Ash did a similar thing earlier with the “Oh dear.” Probably doesn’t mean much.

#1596 and #1597 are points from Ash I actually agree with to a large extent. It makes me feel better about Ash if TSP is mafia. #1610 is good as well, I enjoy the snark behind it.

Wow, TripleHaven posted… and that’s pretty much it. Still hard null.

Wilgo should also be hard null by rights. If we have a vigi, shooting there is probably our best bet alongside TripleHaven. My gut is telling me that both are town slankers, but we don’t need those in a LyLo situation later, do we? If I’m a vig, I’ll make one of these two shots myself.

I like the fact that Hally calls Ash a townie in #1648, which is around the same time I reached a similar conclusion on him upon re-reading. That’s yet another slight mindmeld I’ve had with them.

#1691 remind me to look at NANOOK, because I think this justification for his townread on dunya is slightly forced. He has been more leaderly this game than I have seen him as town before, and it’s making me slightly paranoid about him potentially driving town off a cliff.

I’m starting to feel better about 112, because she feels genuinely tunneled as opposed to pushing mafia agenda. I’m going to swap my vote soon. Might come back to her on day 2. I would like to see her focus broaden, though. Right now she’s tunneled on me / Arete, and that’s not a good thing in a vacuum.

Hally is still being extremely inquisitive and leaderly even if they don’t seem to want leadership. I have seen concern about getting reads wrong, concern about people disagreeing with them (but not in a way that read as scummy to me), moving reads around and re-evaluating. I have also liked the way they have interrogated TSP so far, and their reactions to TSP’s responses. It all read as very natural to me; no progression issues at all, no stilted tone or rigid attitude, nothing. 99% of the time, I would call a player like that “just town,” but apparently I’m still paranoid. Still, never killing Hally today, and I am maintaining my positioning of Hally on my readlist (quite high on the town ranking). I’m not going to let tinfoil guide me here.

I still think Long Con is town, now even more than before. He sounds like he believes in his takes, and I enjoyed his slight annoyance in posts like #1788 and #1810. I don’t think he’s faking that. I think it’s a playstyle thing for him to point out small things he finds scummy.

#1802 is true. More truth from Hally. I’m not sure what to think about NANOOK apparently claiming otherwise.

#1804 from tutuu is something I… could agree with? Lol3ps.

Poison still town.

[VOTE: TonyStarkPrime] aubergine

Takeaways:

Ash much townier.
Hally townier.
LC, Poison and tutuu still very town.
112 trending slightly up.
Nanook trending slightly down.
TSP way down.

Michelle not moving either way. She still hasn't done anything of substance. Where is the analysis? I have heard plenty about Michelle's (apparently) great towning, but I haven't seen it here AT ALL. Not in a single one of her posts. Why are people reading this town? It's a fairly low-level read on my part, but come on.

[Vulgard]

I absolutely despite the Wilgy wagon. We are not killing the equivalent of a 0 poster today. We leave those to town KP, which probably exists in the setup.
I don't think there's a townier/scummier between Wilgy and TH. Gun to head TH is the mafia there, but I honestly think they are roughly equal and equally useless to wagon.

[Vulgard]

Forgot to mention in my takeaways that I think ted is very town.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Hally has almost four hundred posts and at least half of them are somewhere between pretty townie and very townie


If mafia spends the effort to make 200 pretty to very townie posts on D1 it’s like

Golf clap take your win

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Why do you think town KP exists in this setup?

[Vulgard]

Honestly, same here, to some extent. I'm just paranoid.
I think Arete's town, by the way. I'm pretty comfortable with locking that in at this point. Take it away.

[Vulgard]

Why do you think town KP exists in this setup?

Mostly because of past experiences on my homesite. In closed setups of this size, there's usually at least 1 town KP role. Typically something similar in power to a 1-shot vig.

[Vulgard]

Dunya has dropped off for me, but I need to see more posts from her before I deep dive ISO her.

[Vulgard]

I'd also like to see dunya move her vote.

[Poison]

Hmm hii I'll be reading the ISOs and making my read posts while I'm here and I'll also try to do the jobs on the kitchen my sister has entrusted me with so I'm here and I'm also not here. Ask me if you have any questions.

[Poison]

In the kitchen. I swear I wrote in.

Also, also. Since my posts by post ISO reads take an hour a person I'll be avoiding that. But if you have quarries about any part do ask me, I'll be able to quote it out or explain more elaboratly if needed. I'll start with my scum reads.

[Michelle]

im not really seeing the answer to my question in that iso. i see you sorta explained why you want to change your play style but i don’t see where you said how specifically you’re trying to change it

Wouldn't be idiotic to share what i want to become as player before knowing i can reach that level? I really don't understand what do you want from me.

well you say you want to change. id expect maybe you have some idea of what you want that change to look like for you

I will not share my mafia model, but if i may become 10% from what he is i will be content.

Work is in progress

[Vulgard]

Michelle's posts aren't GOOD, but I have a negative gut feeling about her. As in, she might be a misyeet if we wagon her.
This stubbornness and insistence upon playing in a way that gets her widely scumread and considered for the yeet just reads to me as inherently stubborn town who wants to play the way they want without regard for others or for the game they are currently in.

[Michelle]

Where is your vote on your first scum read?

Smh Penguin..

I would be surprised if there’s town KP in this game

Not shocked, but surprised

[tedxtr]

I don't really mind town leaning Michelle here

she should never make endgame with the way she's posting so she's likely to get yeeted anyway

[Vulgard]

In a vacuum, Michelle's posts are still bad, though, so I won't complain if she gets yeeted.
Where is literally any analysis at this point?

[Michelle]

Michelle's posts aren't GOOD, but I have a negative gut feeling about her. As in, she might be a misyeet if we wagon her.
This stubbornness and insistence upon playing in a way that gets her widely scumread and considered for the yeet just reads to me as inherently stubborn town who wants to play the way they want without regard for others or for the game they are currently in.

I respect this logic, my stubbornness is well known among evryone who knows me, is interesting you noticed it without playing previously with me

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Who is your mafia role model and why is it mac

[tedxtr]

I don't really mind town leaning Michelle here

she should never make endgame with the way she's posting so she's likely to get yeeted anyway

rationale behind this post isn't hedging or whatever

if she's wolf she's gonna end up like jpic in Radiohead and if she's town then she'll have to start posting villager-y and coming back to meta or she's gonna die.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I feel like this is what I’ve seen happen to Michelle literally every time I’ve seen her play town here tbh

Plus ash is sure she’s scum so she’s probably town

[tedxtr]

I think Michelle is the type to at least care a bit about her wolf team and would feel bad attempting this play style, it's why I think she's villager-y.

It makes more sense to tank your villa meta first and play nonsensically rather than starting to change it as a wolf first because you're likely to get yeeted if you're a wolf trying this out because you aren't playing according to meta.

shouldn't really be a hard thought process, if she's a wolf then whatever, she dies anyway, colour her in as a villager and if we don't find wolves then settle for a yeet on her later on in the game

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

She’s just trying something new yeah? Not the same as tanking your meta imo

[tedxtr]

She’s just trying something new yeah? Not the same as tanking your meta imo

she's not trying to get town read at all and this play style is bound to get players pissed at her or spite yeet her and she'd probably know it as a wolf is my rationale

Umm.. Sorry to disappoint you here, i decided to keep it at low posting for lack of free time.
If you need large analysis from me, maybe i can do something in day 2 if i will be alive.

[tedxtr]

maybe I am a bit more insightful in this regard because I know her

[Vulgard]

I feel like this is what I’ve seen happen to Michelle literally every time I’ve seen her play town here tbh

Plus ash is sure she’s scum so she’s probably town

The thing is, she's the one making it happen. I can't confidently townread someone who doesn't analyse anyone, whose reads are mostly veiled OMGUS, and who hasn't contributed in a memorable way. She isn't actively scummy to me, but she's not doing herself any favors by posting in an underwhelming way like this, and I'm pretty certain she knows this. The fact she knows this is the reason I townread this, but I feel somewhat guilty about townreading this type of play.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

She’s just trying something new yeah? Not the same as tanking your meta imo

If she can be found town idgaf how she plays tbh

Who is your mafia role model and why is it mac

Wrong guess sir, is not Mac

[Vulgard]

By the way, I don't think mafia ted defends Michelle.

[Vulgard]

Towncore:

Arete
Ash Lael
Hally
Long Con
Poison
tedxtr
tutuu

Guilty townread: Michelle

NANOOK is on the fringe, need to read him again.
I've grown to accept that Hally is probably just town.

[Vulgard]

Might add 112 later tbh.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I’m in the towncore and there’s nothing you can do about it

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Wait uh

Actually nvm yeah maybe if everyone makes me borderline ill get to stay alive longer kek

[Vulgard]

I might re-add you to the towncore after I read your ISO again. For now I don't really feel like yeeting you. I'm contemplating TSP/dunya (?)

Wilgy/TH could contain mafia in theory, but it would be really dumb.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I always look better in real time than in an iso kek

[tedxtr]

Wilgy/TH could contain mafia in theory, but it would be really dumb.

why would it be dumb? happens

[Vulgard]

Wilgy/TH could contain mafia in theory, but it would be really dumb.

why would it be dumb? happens

I guess, I just feel bad for their partners if that's the case.
If they are both mafia, this game is a meme.
