Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
honestly it was your multiquote catchup post lol I think I just can't read you reliably in post capped games when you do that, I know you did them as town in sf3 but they still rub me wrong, especially when most of the replies are fluff, which they felt like in the one that triggered me here. also like, in finale you seemed to overcompensate in grouping stuff into long mq posts when you weren't even in danger of hitting cap. I guess you're closeish here though but it still bothers me idk. But I am reassured when you make reads I agree with.Hally wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 1:11 pmwe seem to be at identical places rn with our reads. where are your negative tingles coming from if not my reads?nutella wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 1:05 pmI agree with thisJaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 11:32 am @Hally you asked me about the relationship between Carotte and Alison. If I were doing a blind interaction chart that would be a block I'd be tempted to color orange. They've both said a decent amount about one another without arriving at conclusions I would call clear or inspiring -- lots of room to land on town reads or mafia reads both ways depending upon the momentum of the game.
Take that with a grain of salt, because I don't believe pre-flip associations are super wise if not done comprehensively for everyone, or at least everyone within a POE pool.
I'm feeling pretty okay about jay so far actually, and am inclined to listen to him re giving Sloonei more time. Switching my pseudo scum vote to carotte
also, my negative tinglies about Hally have returned somewhat. a little. I still townread them but am wary and wouldn't give then the save/gun. I still like spf most for that but see she self voted, so we'll have to figure that out but I'd be fine with sending tutuu, nova, or I guess myself as well.
I also think Thunal is town and Alison's push on her is bad, but whether it's misguidedly bad or maliciously bad remains to be determined.
Still catching up on this morning

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
This post from Hally has stuck with me:
I have not gotten around to digging into this, but it's stayed on my mind over the last ~24 hours. Not actively; I'm not scouring the thread looking for opportunism directed at me. But it's been in the back of my mind. And there is a little siren going off back there when I see Thunal's progression on Sloonei.
Early on she's not quite there yet, but appears to be leaving the door open.
Later on, however, when the Sloonei pressure feels (to me) like it's becoming more viable, Thunal hops on board:To be fair, this does come shortly after I stated my previous concern with Thunal re: her treatment of Carot. Thunal's response to that can be found here. It's short, but I don't object to it. That's a believable explanation for the slip up. But that still doesn't tell me much about Thunal's alignment.
From here on, though, Thunal feels like she becomes much more critical of me:
There's a few points in particular I could address as feeling a bit like opportunistic misconstructions:
Where did I say the underlined bit? And the bit about me being caring "more about self-pres than solving" is bogus. This is the same argument I had with Phighter in Champs. Sometimes I solve through people's reads on me. It's a comfortable foot hold for me early in games especially. There was more sustained suspicion against me than I like in this game, but I am not responding to these things purely from a defensive or "self-preserving" posture: I am trying to read people's reads of me. That is an offensive move, not defensive. This is me solving the game, Thunal.
This is the first time Thunal and I have met, and I've certainly been misread in this light by players unfamiliar with my style before. But the underlined is just Thunal suspecting Sloonei for being Sloonei. I stated a concern, not an outright suspicion, about her earlier, and she has been regarding that as if it was supposed to be something more firm than it was. My original post on Thunal was meant as a conversation piece, not a "case". I am not the kind of player who will avoid "getting my hands dirty" as either alignment.
This also felt a bit icky, but it's another thing that I do not necessarily need to see as bad (I am reminded of Dizzy's Final Day concern about my emotional state in Champs). Thunal sees my relatively deflated posture in this game and prompts the thread about it. That's not an unfair observation, but I still am wary of the person who brought it in.
At this point, however, the Sloonei wagon seems to be dying down. I do not know how tightly a wolf would cling to it at this point. This could be Mafia Thunal trying to take one last swing at it to see if it'll go anywhere.
To be fair to Thunal, the flip side of this is that her suspicion against me started in earnest after I became critical of her, and it is not at all unreasonable for something like that to cause a civilian to become more focused on the player in question. This post right here is Exhibit A for that argument. But Hally's question has resonated with me, and Thunal's arrival on the Sloonei Wagon was relatively late and, in my view, at least a little bit unfounded.
this post took longer to compile than I hoped. I have just over an hour to figure things out. I'll take a quick look at carot, but I'd prefer to spend most of my remaining time in the present.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I'm caught up. Ruling out Thunal/Sloonei for now, which looks decent for Thunal.
Hally, the plan was for everyone to self vote to make us all have one, except the person who gets the gun. Why'd you do that?
Also I've changed my mind, I want Martin to have the gun.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I think this is where the carot suspicion originated, and I can see it. This looks a bit awkward, like Carot accidentally put herself in a position she didn't want to be in and had to pivot away. "I believe he believes in his read" feels like it should be a townread. "I wouldn't townread him for that" literally says otherwise.Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:42 am Lol crosspost nutella
I "get" his thought process, it doesn't seem like a stretch to me. I wouldn't townread him for that, but clearly don't share the ~general scumread he got for this read.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:34 amWhat makes you believe 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

for carotte/sloonei, carotte was very dismissive of the early concerns around sloonei in a way that seemed like tmi. i don’t think she’d react to a teammate getting early pressure like thatAlison wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 1:48 pmWhy?

for thun/sloonei, i just buy how thun has treated sloonei as honest. she started off not joining in on the suspicion of sloonei when he was in the hot seat but then as attention shifted away from him she began pushing him more. if she’s aligned with sloonei, she has no reason to add new suspicion to him as the suspicion on him is waning

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
This is the most comprehensive/firm post in Carot's iso regarding reads on players, as far as I can tell. Alison is the only listed name that's not a town-read. [mention]Carotenoid[/mention] have things changed for you since this post? How does Alison look now? Is anyone else a suspect, or do you have any new town reads?Carotenoid wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 11:15 am 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 need to sleep. I don't think Carotte dismissing the concerns around Sloonei = not buddies. I can see worlds where Carotte is annoyed that people are suspecting her scum buddy for the wrong reasons and just gives a dismissive "come on guys this is really not a big deal" to brush it off.
I think I've ruled out Sloonei as my vote for today because JJJ is backing him up and he's been doing some decent solving lately. I don't think Sloonei can solo push a Thunal wagon to completion in 4 hours with both nutella and Hally strongly against, so I'd rather [VOTE: Carotte] aubergine.
I'm heading to bed now.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
I don't think there's any reason to be mad at them, it makes total sense since they wanted spf to be lowest and they're compensating for that. We can always add more votes to balance it. There's no problem here, it's gonna be fine. Chill.

like i said, sloonei/thun is never w/wSloonei wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 1:49 pm This post from Hally has stuck with me:I have not gotten around to digging into this, but it's stayed on my mind over the last ~24 hours. Not actively; I'm not scouring the thread looking for opportunism directed at me. But it's been in the back of my mind. And there is a little siren going off back there when I see Thunal's progression on Sloonei.Spoiler: show
Early on she's not quite there yet, but appears to be leaving the door open.
Later on, however, when the Sloonei pressure feels (to me) like it's becoming more viable, Thunal hops on board:To be fair, this does come shortly after I stated my previous concern with Thunal re: her treatment of Carot. Thunal's response to that can be found here. It's short, but I don't object to it. That's a believable explanation for the slip up. But that still doesn't tell me much about Thunal's alignment.Spoiler: show
From here on, though, Thunal feels like she becomes much more critical of me:There's a few points in particular I could address as feeling a bit like opportunistic misconstructions:Spoiler: showWhere did I say the underlined bit? And the bit about me being caring "more about self-pres than solving" is bogus. This is the same argument I had with Phighter in Champs. Sometimes I solve through people's reads on me. It's a comfortable foot hold for me early in games especially. There was more sustained suspicion against me than I like in this game, but I am not responding to these things purely from a defensive or "self-preserving" posture: I am trying to read people's reads of me. That is an offensive move, not defensive. This is me solving the game, Thunal.Spoiler: show
This is the first time Thunal and I have met, and I've certainly been misread in this light by players unfamiliar with my style before. But the underlined is just Thunal suspecting Sloonei for being Sloonei. I stated a concern, not an outright suspicion, about her earlier, and she has been regarding that as if it was supposed to be something more firm than it was. My original post on Thunal was meant as a conversation piece, not a "case". I am not the kind of player who will avoid "getting my hands dirty" as either alignment.Spoiler: show
This also felt a bit icky, but it's another thing that I do not necessarily need to see as bad (I am reminded of Dizzy's Final Day concern about my emotional state in Champs). Thunal sees my relatively deflated posture in this game and prompts the thread about it. That's not an unfair observation, but I still am wary of the person who brought it in.Spoiler: show
At this point, however, the Sloonei wagon seems to be dying down. I do not know how tightly a wolf would cling to it at this point. This could be Mafia Thunal trying to take one last swing at it to see if it'll go anywhere.
To be fair to Thunal, the flip side of this is that her suspicion against me started in earnest after I became critical of her, and it is not at all unreasonable for something like that to cause a civilian to become more focused on the player in question. This post right here is Exhibit A for that argument. But Hally's question has resonated with me, and Thunal's arrival on the Sloonei Wagon was relatively late and, in my view, at least a little bit unfounded.
this post took longer to compile than I hoped. I have just over an hour to figure things out. I'll take a quick look at carot, but I'd prefer to spend most of my remaining time in the present.

but really, concern noted. im gonna think on it and see how thun responds but my immediate take is that, as you said, i can easily see town!thun having this progression and i do think one thing that indicates it’s sincere is that thun’s suspicion on you developed at a unique time and for her own unique reasons. she doesn’t seem to be riding the coattails of everyone else’s push but has instead apoears to have come to her read on you naturally

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Oh right before I go to bed I will ask Hally this: you seemed to be very cognizant of the power of not diluting votes earlier (can't remember whether it was signup thread or early in the game) and mentioned that a mafia member voted all three wagons as a smokescreen the last time you played this setup. Why are you so sure that SPF is better than everyone else to the point of diluting your own vote to push her in?
There's nothing that says a fake can't surpass the real thing.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
im not strongarming it. it was my impression that spf was in everyone’s pool of “they should get the gun.” also its not a gun really. it’s just who we want savedtutuu wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 1:53 pm i mean
we kinda had the majority vote and everything
i can count the votes but i dont think the majority agreed to give it to spf
im not really cool with hally and nutella strongarming to give the gun to spf? what happened to the whole town as a whole working together?
let me tally the votes i guess

because spf self voted before we actually decided that she shouldn’t have the gunAlison wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 1:56 pm I'm caught up. Ruling out Thunal/Sloonei for now, which looks decent for Thunal.
Hally, the plan was for everyone to self vote to make us all have one, except the person who gets the gun. Why'd you do that?
Also I've changed my mind, I want Martin to have the gun.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
The plan was to come to a consensus on who gets the gun through phantom voting and then guarantee that consensus is carried out by realvoting, not to unilaterally make a decision on who should get the gun.nutella wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:08 pmI don't think there's any reason to be mad at them, it makes total sense since they wanted spf to be lowest and they're compensating for that.

i didn’t decide that. i put everyone at one vote. that is effectively like everyone having no votes. now we can all decide who should have the least. i dont get what the issue is

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Honestly the contrast between spf carelessly self voting versus tutuu absolutely flipping out about someone besides herself getting preferred for the save just makes me want to save spf even more over tutuu. Sorry.

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
But it's literally just making up for spf's self vote. That's all. We can always add more. But I do think spf is the best choice, and Hally was just making that feasible again, not forcing anything.Alison wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:13 pmThe plan was to come to a consensus on who gets the gun through phantom voting and then guarantee that consensus is carried out by realvoting, not to unilaterally make a decision on who should get the gun.nutella wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 2:08 pmI don't think there's any reason to be mad at them, it makes total sense since they wanted spf to be lowest and they're compensating for that.

What makes you so confident in Martin? He's obviously never going to be consensus here at least?

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
The issue is that by voting everyone you are removing both the weight and accountability of your own vote. If you increment everyone's votes by one then your real vote on Carotte is cancelled out. Basically you robbed yourself of a vote here in order to cancel out SPF's selfvote. Why do that? Why not just let tutuu or someone else who isn't SPF have the gun? Is tutuu or nova or whoever that much worse of a doc?

Re: Grasslands [Game Thread]
Honestly, I've been wanting to give the town vote to Tutuu because not only
1. They're towny (as far as I can tell at the moment), but also
2. I feel like they're partially unpredictable more than other players, and that can be a lucrative kill for scum at times
I can recognize though, that if SPF is town, they can represent a strong threat as well as some other players. We have to choose someone though. And I would like that to be Tutuu, but I have no qualms if it has to be SPF instead. As for others, unless we're talking Thunal33 (which I don't see a whole lot consensus on using a doc save on), they don't have enough of my trust to receive the heal or gun or whatever it is called.
