That's about Marmot and SPF more than it's about Marmot and Invictus.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
Interactions of Invictus and Marmot
From Invictus
Orange: I highlight this post just as a bookmark to refer to everything leading up to it within the spoiler. The early character of this interaction is rather beige, wherein Invictus is the Asker of Many Questions relating to Marmot without meaningful follow-up or direction. Meh.
Yellow: This is where the tide begins to shift and Invictus adopts a more concretely unfavorable stance on Marmot. It may be noteworthy that Invictus didn't entirely piggyback SPF in this moment and instead opted for the "I have suspicions for different reasons" angle -- in that way one cannot assert he's just feeling safe heaping with SPF (this would only apply if SPF is town). He clarified the mafia read at SPF's prod without further expansion. It's not incompatible with distancing. It doesn't have to be distancing. It exists.
Side note: the town strategy Invictus describes in his last post in there is a refreshing one to see from someone else. It's basically the subject of my video in my signature. Too bad he's fake this time.
~~~
From Marmot
Not much here beyond blank Marmot wifom of a sort only Marmot consistently achieves.
Whatever rules one may apply to things like "naked votes in RVS" or "claiming scum facetiously" -- don't bother with Marmot. He'll do anything as any alignment if he thinks it'll be fun. The general theme continues: none of this has to be teammate stuff, but it can be.
~~~
Conclusion
This sure is a Marmot review. I cannot pretend to have much confidence about this either way. Most importantly I cannot dissociate them, so they can be teammates.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
I did give you feedback, although briefly and probably snarky. It's fine analysis. I agree. By the time I made the post you're reacting to here, you had done three isos. Koba, me and Hollow, concluded we're all town. I agree with that. I repeated one of your points about Koba to confirm my town read there. So it's analysis about three people you clear as town which I already agreed with, hence why your analysis is fine.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 12:12 pmJJJ's getting cranky. I've gotten a couple of these replies already.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 5:34 am Your analysis is fine. Thank you. You're still getting yeeted.
"Thanks for analysis, okay. Still, die."
I don't care about being thanked for doing things. I care about receiving feedback for the actual conclusions I have drawn, whether people agree with me or don't, and what specific points they feel need further discussion or reassessment etc. This is how I mean to incorporate myself into the Mafia game, and if I am not even given that respect then every civilian involved with that treatment is doing the team a disservice. Folks can suspect me without discarding me. That's not okay. I realize not everyone has done so, but at least three players have to my count.
At this point my PoE is pretty much you, Marmot and Tony. None of what you've posted have changed my mind about having you in the PoE. I've also explained why I scum read Alison. Though I don't think anyone engaged with me on that.
I'm not in the habit of ignoring anyone, but I don't see the point of chewing on analysis, clearing people I've already cleared.

I think it's SPF/JJJ. I can make a case for why I think it's the two of them, but there's a lot of how SPF handled Alison Day 1 that's very teammate compatible.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
For the record, the reason I did ISOs of LC and TSP Night 1 was because I'd considered shooting one of them, but I came away thinking they were town, so I holstered, and it's also why I came into today with townreads of them.
That was also the reason I made the post to end Day 1 the way I did @Long Con. In the case that falcon was town, I was probably going to shoot you that night, but I decided it was a bad idea.

I spoke about that moment in my review of SPF, and about why I think it can be a town move from her given my experiences playing with her. I'd appreciate if you could take a quick look and share any gripes if you have them.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
I'd argue that this is the exact type of shade teammates like to throw at each other as distancing. It's cheap and obvious. "Why would you want to chop town?" is such a dishonest question to begin with. I think it's not really a good look.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 12:34 pmFrom Invictus's side this interaction is pretty boring. There's nothing here that stands out to me as indicative of anything either way; it's all soft and directionless. If I want to stretch hard I might suggest the "why would you want to chop town?" is an easy bit of shade to hurl when you are looking for a place to do so (in this context a civilian Tony). I have little confidence in that view.
I'll try to understand why Gavial has cleared Tony first, but for now, I haven't.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
Theres the meh teammate analysis i know and loveJaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 1:49 pm Interactions of Invictus and Nanook
From Invictus
Spoiler: show
Orange: There's an early trend here wherein Invictus speaks on behalf of Nanook (or on behalf of Nanook via Long Con), usually to make low-level meta assertions about what he thinks Nanook is like. The assertions are generally valid; that is, Nanook is indeed one to be less concerned with assessing every player early in a game and doesn't care about being fluffy sometimes. In that light, this literal assessment would be innocuous as an overall read of "NAI",
Yellow: which brings me to this post. Nanook was one of Invictus's five blued-out town reads, and compared to the others players featured in that group that rationale provided previously is pretty light. It's essentially what I referenced in the previous point. So his name stands out here.
The remainder of this is generally soft material -- musing over Nanook's playstyle, halfway standing in his defense when DK was cranky, and setup chatter. None of that means much to me.
~~~
From Nanook
Spoiler: show
There's not a lot new going on in this set of interactions. Nanook did town read Invictus. Okay. In classically Nanook style I don't know why and can only wonder -- perhaps he'll expand. I have very little to say about this stuff.
~~~
Conclusion
This is a dry interaction. From the Invictus side I have some questions. From the Nanook side I don't have much of anything. I have no reason to dissociate these two. Nanook can be Invictus's teammate.

His play this game seems much more orthodox and I believe this is a symptom of him trying to mimic "normal" townies.
something might be getting lost in translation w/your read on gavial, because the only frame of reference i have for him is fargo mafia, where he was fairly normal (iirc)
SPF can have a slight town read.
that being said, do you find alison suspicious for coming to such strong conclusions early or is it a towny thing? based on her read of gavial im assuming meta isn't disregarded on this site!
SPF made this post with regard to Alison early on. She implied that she was pinged by a particular thing that Alison did, but then walked it back in the same post.
staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 6:43 pmthe first quote has a level of spiciness that is utterly let down by the second quote. why assertively call alison scum and then back off from that read before alison (or anyone, for that matter) had the opportunity to react?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 6:07 am SPF is probably town. I like her town reads, I like all her thoughts, I like that she doesn't try to be flashy or project town too much. Good content without shoving it in our faceses.
Had a feeling Tony was town for his first post. Just seemed like something he said because he felt it necessary (from a town perspective), not because he felt he needed to say something (in which case maybe he would've felt the need to say more too). Maybe this is thin, but that's what I got.
I'm pretty ok with Invictus so far. But it's not like I feel I should trust him immediately, which I already have expressed.

Don't know about anybody else. Alison, I don't really see where she is coming from with her Gavial read. I also felt she could've waited in any case. I don't have a read on Alison, don't quite remember how I've felt in other games with her.

We then have these couple posts where SPF interrogates other players based on their handling of Alison.

Then in this one, we have a townlean of Invictius (ok sure, I also townread him a this point). But more interestingly is the "i have very little to say about alison".

A couple more mentions of Alison. Not really about her, but more circumstantially talking to other people about her.
But this is where it gets more interesting.

Gavial suggests that SPF, the claimed vig at this point, shoot Alison tonight. SPF advocates to keep her alive to talk and rescinds the claim in one fell swoop.
staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 8:39 pm knowing that gavial is a villager does make ma little more concerned about alison's push early push on him, but will withhold judgement on that front until i get to ISO her
Again here, SPF offers a little shade for Alison, but tries to protect her from the vig slot.
Addendum. There's little interest in resolving this slot at all, even at this point where they've been POE'd hard by the rest of the game. And she's even been attempting to protect her from the vig.
I believe that the Invcitus claim, SPF counterclaim was an attempt to get the vig role out in the open to talk about, and give SPF a little bit of cred for CCing providing cover. Also, in the event that SPF was a civilian and/or the actual vig, wouldn't Invictus at least try to get her yeeted instead? He gave up far to easily for me to think that's the case.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
Also, the reason I claimed today is a couple reasons
1) I'm POE'd so I'm just going to get that out of the way.
2) Gavial is already an outed tracker, so the mafia has to either kill him tonight, giving me two shots, or kill me tonight, giving him another track, but giving me 1 shot at least.

His play this game seems much more orthodox and I believe this is a symptom of him trying to mimic "normal" townies.
something might be getting lost in translation w/your read on gavial, because the only frame of reference i have for him is fargo mafia, where he was fairly normal (iirc)
SPF can have a slight town read.
that being said, do you find alison suspicious for coming to such strong conclusions early or is it a towny thing? based on her read of gavial im assuming meta isn't disregarded on this site!
SPF made this post with regard to Alison early on. She implied that she was pinged by a particular thing that Alison did, but then walked it back in the same post.
staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 6:43 pmthe first quote has a level of spiciness that is utterly let down by the second quote. why assertively call alison scum and then back off from that read before alison (or anyone, for that matter) had the opportunity to react?Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 6:07 am SPF is probably town. I like her town reads, I like all her thoughts, I like that she doesn't try to be flashy or project town too much. Good content without shoving it in our faceses.
Had a feeling Tony was town for his first post. Just seemed like something he said because he felt it necessary (from a town perspective), not because he felt he needed to say something (in which case maybe he would've felt the need to say more too). Maybe this is thin, but that's what I got.
I'm pretty ok with Invictus so far. But it's not like I feel I should trust him immediately, which I already have expressed.

JJJ/Long Con (whichever one it is) either kills you or kills me.
If they kill you, they risk being tracked.

Marmot claimed vig now, so hey. But maybe stupid reason to clear him: He immediately followed Invictius on his RVS vote on me. Yeah, Marmot is maybe a player who would do that, most teammates would probably spread votes. But if Marmot is actually vig, then we're golden anyway.

Re: Bluey: The Werewolf Game - Game Thread (Day 2)
Interactions of Invictus and Long Con
From Invictus
Orange: Bookmarking this as the start of Invictus giving LC crap. Prior to this the material had been non-descript nothingness. So I'll just follow the progression.
Generally, I think Long Con, when civilian, is one of the more token "easy targets" especially for people who don't know him already -- he plays with individualism, an obstinate tone, and doesn't concern himself much with prevailing anything. In that light, there's a decent chance Invictus pulled LC out of a hat as the most obvious "guy I can shade" available (as the off-wagon voting semi-low poster) -- that would be to LC's credit. It's a presumptuous notion I grant.
That kind of easy smear vibe persists to the yellow thing. Given that LC wasn't an odds-on chop himself I can't say this is clear-cut opportunism, but gun to my head that's my impression. Invictus needed someone to poop on, and LC seemed like the right name.
~~~
From Long Con
This adds nothing to the interaction of note.
~~~
Conclusion
There's a relative dearth of things to talk about, even if from the Invictus side those things are of significance. I'd be more comfortable if I had more content to develop my perspectives. Gun to my head Long Con is not Invictus's teammate.
