Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
there is so much new slang that i don't know
what is "chop"? what is "exe"? I assume they are variations of "make dead" but what are the distinctions? what is an innocent child? doc dodge? mafia god?

Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
A bit angleshooty - but both Grumble and CBG have been online for about an hour yet neither bother to engage each other in the thread. Seems odd considering CBG has shaded grumble but I dont think they've ever asked the other a question.
I find myself wishing they went anon, because that's gonna bug me until I see one of them flip.

As answers to "Are you allergic to effort?" go "Don't worry about it" might be the worst possible.
Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
Further to the angleshoot - when I was shaking the tree D1 grumble was pretty quick to engage/tunnel me on my read, yet seems to not care about CBG.

Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
additional lingo question: what is a naked vote
Mr. Jass gives off medium to stronk town vibes to me
the 5 paragraph post of all those thoughts drips of authenticity. he's either real or he's the kind of player i'll get mad at myself for getting tricked by. my gut says this is the kind of spaghetti that is cooked by a truthful mind.
this is the point where my post got eaten cus i refreshed the page by mistake. i will have to summarize.
the part where you list me as a suspect seems out of the blue to me. the last time you mentioned me was a post where you were agreeing to a point i made, then nothing. i had not done or said anything between the two instances.
the rest of these reads seem like low hanging fruit. a low hanging fruit salad. homer is not an uncommon suspect. hugh jass is suspected because they posted that they had trouble organizing their thoughts in a post where they organize a lot of thoughts, as well as
townreading otto, alison, lisa, burns and bart are also far from being risky takes.

Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
in regards to not caring about CBD, looking back through cbg's posts, i haven't really seen anything worth commenting on.
there's a lot of succinct jabs without supplying direct reason. it's an easy enough cake to hide a knife in, but it also matches with a lot of players signature styles. his behavior seems null to me because of that. though there comes a point when stating opinions doesn't do much if you don't also state your reasonings.
idk why i am doing food metaphors. i should be doing christmas stuff.

Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
grampa is mild spicy, i can see his posts being posted by a scumlord but i can't see his posts being only able to be posted by a scumblord. if i were to make a rainbow he'd be yellow or orange i think, but not red, and maybe not even orange.
something that sticks out to me in particular on the topic of grampa is the energy which he puts into discussing the mechanics and ethics of mafia and town play in comparison to his regular posts. the posts in which he discusses the efficacy of day one lynches and Machouse's claim are much longer and verbose. later on there are a couple of defense posts which discuss his own meta at length as a means of defense against Jass. in the past i've seen mafia get absorbed into meta discussion easily because it doesn't involve taking a stance or sticking your neck out. it's not even as a purposeful ruse, i don't think, sometimes meta discussion just sticks out more when a person is forced by the circumstance of being mafia to stifle themselves. meta and game mechanics are always easy to talk about regardless of alignment. he also could just be kind of a mechanics nerd with limited time. scumhunting and talking about oneself use a different type of energy.
tldr; gramps is a soft orange

Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
Two of your top town reads are also two of the people who've pushed me hardest, so I can't genuinely answer this with any amount of serious credibility
I absolutely cannot figure out how of all people you mindmeld with Marge the most, because their moments of coherency are sandwiched with absurd takes like vaguely suggesting they've figured out someone's sock identity and that this means the sock is town (logically bankrupt by any measure), or seeing Homer's "nah" response to participating and going "looks good" before dipping
but the above is automatically in question because of Marge's pushes... well, I'm one of them, so it's in my best interest to poke holes in her behaviour
really the thing I keep bumping up against is that it seems like half the people playing can't or won't really involve themselves
here is where Marge might have something when she said at the beginning of D2 that Syndicate wolves care. there are enough people slanking or not doing much that it's not a reliable measurement for scum leans anymore. I think Allison said this too. There's 13 of us and at least five are just not really here, which is different from D1 when the slank crowd was smaller than it is now. Lisa, Marge, Grumple, etc, have all taken their foot off the pedal (a couple have cited RL so fair enough; that's obviously far more important than a Mafia game) today so there's little info to really get from them for now
Still a day left so not a crisis yet, but it's slightly concerning that the thread's really just Otto and CBG slapping at each other, you and me throwing walls up, and then occasional interludes with Allison, Burns, or Krusty pissing in someone's cereal (this isn't a complaint, all three seem rather good at poking holes in things)
The issue with my reads is that they're all based on D1 things, and they can't evolve until the people in question are active D2. Like I scum-lean Homer... because of D1. He's posted a gif D2 and dipped again. Or I'm squinting at Marge... because of D1. She's just said wolves won't slank D2 and dipped again. Then I turn my attention to the people who are frequently posting and my opinion ranges from happy to slightly disappointed. You were low, went up. Otto's been fine. Allison... has been... annoying but fine, I think. She seems to believe in what she's saying, at least. Burns is hostile but I can't actually poke holes in what he says. Bart was decent D1 and is sidelined by RL D2, so can't move the needle on my read on him. Grumple was middle of the pack for me D1 and hasn't done anything to move from that position yet (though that could turn into a suspicious thing if it's D3 or D4 and that's still true). Krusty isn't the most active but he tends to relish being opposite of whoever he's quoting. Sometimes that's intriguing, sometimes it's weird (one minute he'll rally to someone's defense, then soon he's rubbing their nose in a mistake). He's either holding us all accountable or being noncommittal. Haven't decided yet.
And here's the obvious one... CBG is trending down. For, well, *gestures to the last page*. Otto's been taking him to task and I don't think there's anything I can really add that would be helpful or useful, except that based on D1 CBG is capable of more. What I bump up against here is that there's proof in the pudding of the aloof approach not working more than it does in this game, so if he were a wolf it'd be in his best interest to not gamble on something that's already seen to damage one's standing rather than improve. So what's the dealio, yo?
Finally: Principal Skinner. Here is where I rely on my homesite meta again... Where I come from, outed PRs tend to naturally take on a leadership role, even if they have limited actions. They're as close to a lock clear as you can get. Skinner claimed tracker and then claimed to track Otto, which seems like a "hero shot" to me. I won't comment on whether Otto was the best choice, because I don't think it really matters with the setup. What I will comment on is that, barring a counterclaim, Skinner's in one of the best positions to help coral town. As it is, his tracker claim is put in doubt by Otto and he's been a no-show since. It's actually nice that he took the time to reveal the result, but in terms of "PR takes the lead" it's... not great. His ISO is just dire. Nothing good, claimed to dodge the chop, revealed a result, and now nada. Do we believe the claim? Mechanically, to me, I think we should? He's not helping with reads but he's got another track in the barrel. Resolving Skinner can wait until D4 at least. It is a problem that will solve itself and doesn't need pressure from us. He's in my never-chop pile until it starts becoming suspicious that he's still alive. Absolute garbage ISO, but also absolutely no reason to scum-read or push.
You'll note I haven't mentioned Lisa, and that's because I don't know what I think. There's nothing really special there? She hasn't said anything especially weird on either end. The only thing I've mindmelded with is her opinion on subs and what they do to the game state, but that's a broken record at this point. I guess I can't see a strong scum or town lean either way for her. She just is. I guess she's similar to Grumple for me where there is not much to hate or love.

the part where you list me as a suspect seems out of the blue to me. the last time you mentioned me was a post where you were agreeing to a point i made, then nothing. i had not done or said anything between the two instances.
the rest of these reads seem like low hanging fruit. a low hanging fruit salad. homer is not an uncommon suspect. hugh jass is suspected because they posted that they had trouble organizing their thoughts in a post where they organize a lot of thoughts, as well as
townreading otto, alison, lisa, burns and bart are also far from being risky takes.
The irony of this post of yours is that Hugh Jass already did it...so I guess your reads ain't all that fresh and original either.
Both you and Hugh are wrong tho...hawt, fresssssssh takes that are avante garde, cutting edge & oh so cosmo is not what makes a player town.
Spoiler: show
Re: The Simpsons [DAY 2]
I'll be the judge of that I guess. You seem to make a point of it when you're addressing people that view in a negative light, or in this case a third parties thoughts on them. Why do you feel that to be necessary? It's a pretty weird kind of self awareness and caveat.Grampa Simpson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 12:08 amTwo of your top town reads are also two of the people who've pushed me hardest, so I can't genuinely answer this with any amount of serious credibility
I absolutely cannot figure out how of all people you mindmeld with Marge the most, because their moments of coherency are sandwiched with absurd takes like vaguely suggesting they've figured out someone's sock identity and that this means the sock is town (logically bankrupt by any measure), or seeing Homer's "nah" response to participating and going "looks good" before dipping
but the above is automatically in question because of Marge's pushes... well, I'm one of them, so it's in my best interest to poke holes in her behaviour
really the thing I keep bumping up against is that it seems like half the people playing can't or won't really involve themselves
here is where Marge might have something when she said at the beginning of D2 that Syndicate wolves care. there are enough people slanking or not doing much that it's not a reliable measurement for scum leans anymore. I think Allison said this too. There's 13 of us and at least five are just not really here, which is different from D1 when the slank crowd was smaller than it is now. Lisa, Marge, Grumple, etc, have all taken their foot off the pedal (a couple have cited RL so fair enough; that's obviously far more important than a Mafia game) today so there's little info to really get from them for now
Still a day left so not a crisis yet, but it's slightly concerning that the thread's really just Otto and CBG slapping at each other, you and me throwing walls up, and then occasional interludes with Allison, Burns, or Krusty pissing in someone's cereal (this isn't a complaint, all three seem rather good at poking holes in things)
The issue with my reads is that they're all based on D1 things, and they can't evolve until the people in question are active D2. Like I scum-lean Homer... because of D1. He's posted a gif D2 and dipped again. Or I'm squinting at Marge... because of D1. She's just said wolves won't slank D2 and dipped again. Then I turn my attention to the people who are frequently posting and my opinion ranges from happy to slightly disappointed. You were low, went up. Otto's been fine. Allison... has been... annoying but fine, I think. She seems to believe in what she's saying, at least. Burns is hostile but I can't actually poke holes in what he says. Bart was decent D1 and is sidelined by RL D2, so can't move the needle on my read on him. Grumple was middle of the pack for me D1 and hasn't done anything to move from that position yet (though that could turn into a suspicious thing if it's D3 or D4 and that's still true). Krusty isn't the most active but he tends to relish being opposite of whoever he's quoting. Sometimes that's intriguing, sometimes it's weird (one minute he'll rally to someone's defense, then soon he's rubbing their nose in a mistake). He's either holding us all accountable or being noncommittal. Haven't decided yet.
And here's the obvious one... CBG is trending down. For, well, *gestures to the last page*. Otto's been taking him to task and I don't think there's anything I can really add that would be helpful or useful, except that based on D1 CBG is capable of more. What I bump up against here is that there's proof in the pudding of the aloof approach not working more than it does in this game, so if he were a wolf it'd be in his best interest to not gamble on something that's already seen to damage one's standing rather than improve. So what's the dealio, yo?
Finally: Principal Skinner. Here is where I rely on my homesite meta again... Where I come from, outed PRs tend to naturally take on a leadership role, even if they have limited actions. They're as close to a lock clear as you can get. Skinner claimed tracker and then claimed to track Otto, which seems like a "hero shot" to me. I won't comment on whether Otto was the best choice, because I don't think it really matters with the setup. What I will comment on is that, barring a counterclaim, Skinner's in one of the best positions to help coral town. As it is, his tracker claim is put in doubt by Otto and he's been a no-show since. It's actually nice that he took the time to reveal the result, but in terms of "PR takes the lead" it's... not great. His ISO is just dire. Nothing good, claimed to dodge the chop, revealed a result, and now nada. Do we believe the claim? Mechanically, to me, I think we should? He's not helping with reads but he's got another track in the barrel. Resolving Skinner can wait until D4 at least. It is a problem that will solve itself and doesn't need pressure from us. He's in my never-chop pile until it starts becoming suspicious that he's still alive. Absolute garbage ISO, but also absolutely no reason to scum-read or push.
You'll note I haven't mentioned Lisa, and that's because I don't know what I think. There's nothing really special there? She hasn't said anything especially weird on either end. The only thing I've mindmelded with is her opinion on subs and what they do to the game state, but that's a broken record at this point. I guess I can't see a strong scum or town lean either way for her. She just is. I guess she's similar to Grumple for me where there is not much to hate or love.
Well for one, we've had similar takes and reached similar conclusion on several players, that's more than I can say for most people here. You mention her reasoning for the Homer read, and I don't think you're doing it justice. Have you read post/227 which was a response to you I believe? Sometimes people can get a feel for posts of little substance based on the tone or some other stuff that ping you. Maybe it's nothing more than fancy gut reads, but it's something. I think her remark about Homer's attitude and him not tailoring his play was fair and I shared the sentiment. It ain't like we're talking about a solid town read, let alone locking someone town for it lol. I can't really speak about the guessing secret identity and attaching an alignment to it. I have absolutely no idea who bart is, that said it wouldn't be impossible for me to attach a quick read on someone here if I were to be certain of their identity based on meta. Think that's what she did. It doesn't really move the needle in either direction for now, I'll wait and see how that progress on her end.
I've run with similar problems with sockpuppet games, they're pretty difficult to stay engaged in for the most parts. Add to that sometimes the logistic nightmare of account switching if one is active during that same time on their main account on the forum playing another game or something like that. It's a shame.
I can confirm that I have read the next paragraphs lol. I'll work on digesting them whenever I get around to it.
