Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I agree. Nanook hasn't done a lot (at least as of where I caught up to) so I'd rather see my top TR take the shot. Which might be Nutella or Alison for me.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:21 am fwiw id rather nominate nutella/martin/(possibly?) hally to take the shot over nanook. i don't see the point in not nominating the person u tr the most confidently
I'd like this strategy.Alison wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:35 am So we all realvote for the player who we want to kill, and then realvote for ourselves once, except for the person nominated to be saved, right? That way the doc'd person has 0 votes, and the person we voted to die will have the most, so they're the two to be sent to the grasslands?
I actually think that confidence is more likely to come from town in general. Usually when I see someone making reads more confidently than everyone else is making reads at the time they're town.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:08 amHer initial reads bug me a bit.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Me neither tbh, I looked at Sloonei's ISO and the only suspicious thing I could find is a coffee tell ish thing about him posting 2 posts in a row about being distracted and tired but that's really tiny. His read on Nutella looks fine to me. I'll wait for his thoughts in the morning to actually try to read him. In champs finals (which is the only time I've seen him play) he definitely tried hard and was logical but he didn't have the same obvious town energy that, say, SPF or JJJ did so it might be hard to read him.Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:28 am I don't get the commotion about Sloonei tbh, I believe that he believes in his read. :P

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I really like this reevaluation. I might be a little biased but I don't see scum doing this instead of just keeping with the reads that fit their fake town mindset.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 5:54 am i was just iso'ing martin/thurnal, and i was expecting to come out of it with a scum-lean on thurnal and a townread on martin. weirdly enough, i'm kinda feeling like i'm in the exact opposite position. martin left a strong impression on me with his early townread on thurnal, but his logic doesn't read as: "this is a perspective that is DEFINITELY coming from a town mindset" in the same way that it did when it was happening in the moment. i also wasn't particulary moved by any of his other posts
on the contrary, i actually quite like how much of an open book thurnal is. the way that she unflinchingly accept hally's meta on nutella on #156 and the way that she explicitly brings attention to alison's meta to townread them on #130 does not strike me as somebody who is trying to play the game with an agenda
i'm not completely sure i'll feel the same way when i wake up tomorrow, but i'm especially interested in hearing more from martin right now
Np lol.
We might not choose the same lock town D1 as we do later in the game. As long as we keep believing the person is lock town, sure we'll keep sending them, but new evidence might come up that makes us doubt that read.tutuu wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 6:42 am ok i will admit something - pre game i was fantasizing about finally randing scum, and i rly wanted to cuz i thought i had great chances to win if i did, since i expected / hoped most ppl would townread me like they always do and choose me to be the gun carrier all game, and that would give me excuse as scum to not die. cuz when i finally roll scum my biggest concern would be to explain how i am alive despite being so towny
so i was already constructing some posts to make around mid-game if i was scum about how i offer u guys to not put me as the gun carrier to ease off ur paranoia but i would feel sad if u choose to do so
so now its all getting mixed up. since im actually town, but i thought SO much about what i'd do as scum that the two different agendas are now mixing in my head. im not sure if i were to express sadness now if yall wanan be paranoid of me if that sadness will be genuine or is that habit from my prep talk about what i'd do if im scum.
i dunno whats the point of this post honestly sorry if its a bit fluffy. but. i thought about it so i click submit. a town must always be honest!
i guess my point was that d1 might be rly important for us to select someone we all agree is lock town. the other towniest players are gonna die every night. so like. could u argue day 1 is most important in this game? cuz it ... greatly impacts f3, if it ever comes down to it? yah. maybe. hmm

Yes I am somewhat nervous for this game but that's because I'm in a new community where I don't know most of the playerlist.Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:25 am So far I feel like Thunal is really reserved. There's a kind of weirdish balance between very specific reactions and general agreeing/bouncing off that feels a bit like ~blending in.The second post (it's the answer to post #1) feels really weird. It's like, acknowledging it for the sake of acknowledging it and the way Thunal is agreeing with the townread on her doesn't feel super natural, especially since the initial question was not answered.Spoiler: show

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I'm still waiting for my first mafia roll. It sure will be scary when it finally comes.
If I am right that six solid town reads will do the trick, I would say I am halfway+ there: nova, Thunal, SPF, tutuu.
For lower-level town reads: I lean that way well enough on Hally for now. Nanook is fine. If anyone beefs with one of these names, scream at me at the top of your lungs.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I like Thunal more today.
I'm not sure if everyone understands that the person sent to the grassland only gets to shoot *among* the persons in the grassland? (most voted, least voted, sent by scum)
I think tutuu & nutella are town. I liked Nanook/SPF/nova/LC/JJJ with no particular order.
I have some mixed feelings about Alison. I think that the only thing I really disliked is how she asked Hally why I wasn't on their read list (I thought it was pretty evident that they jsut didn't have a read on me) and then not really followed up when Hally answered that they didn't have a read yet.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
i thought her take on you dipping out after you said hi was agreeable because i’ve made reads off that in the past. i didn’t actually have that thought about you in this game but when i read alison’s post i liked itCarotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 2:01 amHmmn that doesn't really seem to justify how highly you townread her.
#127 you quoted the posts Alison made that you townread.
Townread tutuu and scumread Sloonei: pretty consensus among the players who posted.
The comment on Martin... Exist.
She also gut scumread me, so do(did?) you like... Agree?![]()
do you object to me town reading alison? i don’t really get the purpose of this post
ok. ill see what you doJaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 2:07 amNot surprised. What became evident in the semifinals and finale is that [at least with a post cap], I quite literally cannot clear myself. I'm not sure if I am subject to different standards than ~most, or if my style just doesn't convey a sense of energy, or what -- but it's something I will have to contend with. I think in "normal" games it's a bit more trivial, as spamming mass-posts makes energy and enthusiasm a lot more apparent. In these contexts I have to restrict myself to handle the cap responsibly, and I end up sounding like a robot. Game 6 was an exception, though that was also everyone's first exposure to my effort level. The paranoia could set in for the next two rounds. I am ready for nutella to lock me as mafia.![]()

there were a few things i didn’t likestaypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 3:19 am-i definitely have reservations about jagged so far, but this is a pretty bold statement. why do you think he's wolfing?
1) his push on alison for being confident in her reads when she’s always confident in her reads as town felt kinda fake
2) i didn’t like him jumping in to give sloonei a lifeline. i think town!jay would be more likely to wait for sloonei to address the suspicion so as not to poison the well, but here jay went to rescue sloonei immediately even though he doesn’t tr sloonei yet
3) didn’t like that he tr me so confidently early on, but meh
4) didn’t like that he said he had no thoughts on martin and when he went back to read he didn’t really give much of a stance
idk as i write these out now, particularly the last two, i do acknowledge i might be nitpicking somewhat and i probably overstated my confidence in the read in that moment but these small things added up for me as “jay is scum.” but it’s really too early to say that with any confidence
this is a villagernovaselinenever wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 8:10 am It comes from the mentality of a wolf that wants to emphasize on how she gets Sloonei. It's like she wants to put some distance between her and whatever Sloonei did and was scumread for. She doesn't want to misunderstood and be like lumped in with him.
Feel like a townie wouldn't care to make that distinction I think. Or it'll like never come to their thought at all since they'd be posting more naturally and this is usually the byproduct of carefully formatting posts and reviewing the content you put out there on the thread.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
True that a lot of tells are player dependent including that one, but I feel like I have to take a more general/umbrella approach to reading the players I don't know. I think for Alison (who I do know) that confidence seems towny. When she was SK she was more hesitant about her reads and gave only leans at the start. I've never seen her as mafia though, only once as town and once as SK.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 11:45 amI don’t really agree or have that experience, and I wouldn’t make that read as some general umbrella trend.

Yes, I tend to make townreads first and it's hard for me to find suspects early on.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Primarily process of elimination with a pinch of I don't think she looks very comfortable.
It's less that you've "dropped" than those four have become more solidified civilian reads. Gun to my head you're town too. If I have one gripe for you it's that I don't know that you've been fair in your assessment of my treatment of Sloonei. I said myself that I wanted to let him speak for himself. You asked me a specific question though, and I did you the courtesy of answering it -- so to say that I have given him an out somehow on that basis is a bit goofy.

"Martin already pocketed me" / "Sloonei is making things up" -- there's a hint of "bravado", for lack of a better term, in the tone of those reads that I don't think fits the situation.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:04 amany particular reason why? i actually don't townread her yet either, and the only reason that's concerning to me is that she almost immediately became obvious town to me in radiohead
I don’t take issue with Thunal feeling that way either.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I kind of wanted you to specify why the confidence here made you feel some sorts of ways. The "bravado" you used to put your feelings into words initially was spot on, it's the same vibe I got. Like it being fake, false bravado. More so selling the reads, and selling that vibe rather than embodying it.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I felt that Alison's "confidence", which is just the best word I can come up with to describe this vague notion of tone, was stronger than the circumstances underlying her reads could justify. It felt like someone creating a posture in the game for herself more than someone sharing a read they really had.novaselinenever wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:24 pm I kind of wanted you to specify why the confidence here made you feel some sorts of ways.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Carotte unprompted read on Thunal was my initial ping beside the scare quote meme (which is absolutely real lol). It felt like a wolf presenting a scum read just for the sake of having one I guess. Kind of match the vibe and presence I'm getting so far, she isn't really interacting with the game in a solvey way.

re: the second thing, i don’t think that’s accurate. the first thing you did when you entered the thread was link that post. i acknowledge your subsequent explanation was answering my question, but the initial linking of the post was, imo, clearly attempting to give sloonei an out. and though i appreciate that you wanted to answer my question about it, i don’t think it was necessary to do it in that moment before sloonei addressed it. an answer of “i have my thought about it but ill let sloonei speak first” would have been better and more in line with what i’d expect you to say as town. in champs you were hyper cognizant of trying not to poison the well by talking about sloonei too much early on. here you dove straight in. that’s what pings me. i don’t think its goofy at all but maybe it’s overly harsh and sorry if so

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
The first thing was literally answering you too, just without a direct quote. The moment I joined the game you asked me about Sloonei.Hally wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:29 pm re: the second thing, i don’t think that’s accurate. the first thing you did when you entered the thread was link that post. i acknowledge your subsequent explanation was answering my question, but the initial linking of the post was, imo, clearly attempting to give sloonei an out. and though i appreciate that you wanted to answer my question about it, i don’t think it was necessary to do it in that moment before sloonei addressed it. an answer of “i have my thought about it but ill let sloonei speak first” would have been better and more in line with what i’d expect you to say as town. in champs you were hyper cognizant of trying not to poison the well by talking about sloonei too much early on. here you dove straight in. that’s what pings me. i don’t think its goofy at all but maybe it’s overly harsh and sorry if so

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Also, regarding poisoning the well, I think you might have that backwards. In the finale I town read his ass on page one. I also defended him when everyone thought he was scumslipping or something about Jack. He was the one careful about reading me.
