Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
Okay, so here’s the deal.
1. I would’ve liked to talk more yesterday, “thanks” for hammering.
2. I don’t think it’s illario, and it isn’t me. The solve Banook and TSP seem to be pushing (especially NANOOK) is wrong somewhere.
3. LC wasn’t a difficult wolf to catch when you actually looked at their posts and realized they weren’t solving the game. I expected most players in this game to realize that. I assume he was already a wagon when I replaced in for a good reason. Therefore, I think giving too much credit to people who pushed on him earlier in the game is a mistake. It’s possible the other wolf always planned to bus and was setting up for it at the time. I mean, if LC was pushed on by a few players earlier in the game, why have those players not died? I realize I’m missing some context here and may be mistaken in my assumptions, but I really do think lock clearing anyone for this is a mistake.
4. I personally think the most likely wolf is Ender based on what I’ve seen ‘in the moment’ from each player, and on a more macro level from specifically illario. I haven’t read enough NANOOK and TSP posts on day 1 to have a macroread on them, but I think illario’s been consistently villagery to a point that I can’t see myself voting him this game, probably not even in final 3. NANOOK had a fairly towny entrance day 1, and TSP has been fairly towny “in the moment,” in my opinion. This SOD from him, and our brief real-time interactions, remind me of Elder Scrolls, where we were V/V. Ender hasn’t been villagery, and while I haven’t seen the part where he “pushed LC” yet, by the sound of it – everyone alive has pushed LC, so…?
5. As for who’s a wolf if Ender isn’t – I’ll figure this out in f3 if I’m alive, because it strongly depends on who’s nightkilled. My current reads go illario>TSP>NANOOK>Ender, and that’s fairly obvious if you look at how I’m talking about each slot, so I might as well make it clear.
6. I’ll be ISOing people today to get a better overview of the game, and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t quickhammer again.
7. Sorry, alexa!

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
I may think Ender is a wolf, but I'm not nearly confident enough to slap a vote on him and leave the thread, so I'll read more. Me being wrong on illario isn't impossible, I just find it unlikely considering what I've seen from him on day 1.
And before someone complains about how I keep focusing on day 1 - that's the only part of the game I've read, and not even in full. This is the pain of replacing into a game with a ton of posts, I can't reasonably parse everything. But I will try.

Alexa dying here could possibly mean something, but I'd need higher gamestate awareness to figure out what.
Anyone got any ideas?

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
Illario, Alexa, Esooa, and several others had LC at town.
I stepped in and pulled a wolf-case out of my ass.
It took me TWO DAYS to get them flipped.
Don't fucking say that it was "Easy wolf-pick"
The only other people that picked up on it were Alison early (N1 kill) and Transcend (D1 flip)

Alexa was shielding LC until I wore her into voting him.

Nanook's comfortability voting partners is my only question mark tbh. He has been more in town meta tho.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
I felt like her OMGUSing me would be a problem if LC was town, because having that in LyLo and her being town would be pure pain. Could've been killed to implicate me, I suppose, since she did push on me yesterday a bit (and more on Wiml earlier afaik?). But she also voted like 3 other players yesterday, so that's probably not very meaningful.EnderWiggin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 8:06 amAlexa was shielding LC until I wore her into voting him.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
Illario is town.
I've put on my tinfoil and looked back thoroughly, but I don't think it's the case.
Reasons I had to tinfoil this:
Alexa dying to NK over me.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
Why doesn't w!Nanook NK me?
I've been one of his stronger tr, and going into EOD I just led a flip on his partner. People were mostly townreading me bar Wiml in thread.
Nanook WAS also townreading Alexa and that does remove the Ilario shield if that's the aim.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs
ISOing the dead wolf:
He's doing a lot of "fillering" with Ender afterward, Transcend called him out on it.
Ender being here is another thing. I haven't found a single line in LC's ISO where he visibly reaches the conclusion Ender's town, and he seems attached to the read despite most of his interactions with Ender being pure shitposting. I could actually see this one being a pocket on LC's part; I think their interactions are a little too strange to be partner interactions. However, I'm not closing the book on that option yet.
Illario being here specifically as "sheeping Alexa" looks like LC continuing to try and keep illario as a possible lategame misyeet. He townreads him with reservations, defers to alexa on the read, and seems to be setting up progression steps to flip on illario lategame. This is also where I retract my earlier point about him being bussable; if I'm correct about this, then he definitely wasn't playing with "being bussed" in mind, at least not early in the game. I don't think illario is a wolf, because if he's a wolf, then why does LC decide to put the greatest number of conditionals on his wolf partner townread? Wouldn't you want to slot your partner as confident town if you're going that route? By putting so many conditionals around them, you're maintaining suspicion on the slot, and you would generally want to diffuse it.
This only makes sense as partners with illario if LC trends toward bussing partners, in which case he's laying groundwork for a lategame bus, but he doesn't seem to play like a busser so far. He's not pushing aggressively and he seems to wish to invade the towncore. If anything, it seems he was trying to deepwolf (funny how that ended).
Which actually looks more partnered with Ender than Nook, if I assume he's been trying to defend his partner and not bus them. The lack of wolf flips until yesterday points toward defending, or slotting in PoE and pushing elsewhere - but LC doesn't even have a PoE at this point, so.
Ender really has no right to be this high.
Just kidding. But really, this ISO is a dumpster fire so far. I'm not sure why this was ever townread, hence my earlier comment. What were you doing while I wasn't here?
What was the day 1 consensus at the time? I looked through a few pages around the time of LC writing this post, but I didn't find anything like a read summary - other than a push on Mac, which gives me nothing as he's a flipped villager.
Meh, it doesn't matter, I'm just slightly salty despite not even being in the game until day 3, when I dunked on him after reading like 2 pages of his ISO. Get rekt LC.
He keeps talking about alexa. Half of his ISO is a defense of alexa. I'm skipping over it mostly.
Anyway.
I know I said I wouldn't talk about this anymore, but.
If TSP was thread consensus W at the time, this is another case of him following a thread consensus that was ~probably~ mistaken.
Also, Ender's pointing out the exact problem with LC's ISO until this point. He's just not solving. And it's very obvious.
A lot of defending. He does a lot of defending later, defending against the Ender ISO that I probably shouldn't quote because this post is enormous already. The most important part is that he is super committed to defending himself. If it were a W/W push I feel like he wouldn't have the need to defend himself so much.
Now, put yourself in the mind of LC if Ender's his partner. He knows that Ender probably doesn't plan to bus him because the posts aren't a push, they are a mere analysis. He knows that Ender knows his alignment and this entire thing is fake. He knows that Ender can pivot away from LC and into a villager, that the push is likely just for show.
Therefore, LC shouldn't feel the need to defend himself from it so much if they were W/W. But he does. In fact, when it comes to volume in his posts, his highest-volume posts so far are the posts where he's defending himself against Ender. He cares about defending himself here. He has investment. He does not want to die.
Which should make Ender "just town."
Noting the complete lack of mentions of Nanook so far, and of TSP (aside from calling TSP a wolf for no reason, possibly based on thread consensus, and then not even pushing on him), throughout this day 2. ...And of Illario, actually.
Where did the TSP wolfread go?
Where did the Mac wolfread go? He had this entire emotional post about why Mac was mafia and now he suddenly doesn't wolfread Mac? Mac's a flipped villager, but still.
The TSP wolfread was just for optics, it seems. And randomly calling Nanook mafia here is probably also for optics.
This just makes me more suspicious of Nanook and TSP at this point. The world they both pushed this SoD is a world of two villagers fmpov, and neither has clearing interactions with LC so far. Neither has anything on LC's part that spews them town, either. I feel better about TSP than about Nanook on a personal level because of our live interactions, but those don't make me confident enough by themselves.
Illario's just town.
THAT SAID. He ended up dying that day, and it's not impossible he was already in antispew here. This is the only moment when he potentially spews Nanook and TSP town; his previous posts about them were all nothingburgers that didn't really point in the V direction for either of them. I can't say the same about illario or Ender; he's been consistently spewing illario and Ender town, although some of his posts about Ender early on looked partnery.
For that reason, I believe this isn't clearing for either of them. Especially since TSP and NANOOK both wanted to outright hammer LC. I feel like at least one of them wanted to do that on purpose so that he'd either stop spewing or that we'd get less time for discussion. I vocally requested time to read the game and stuff, but it was cut short by the hammer.
Considering all this, while the pushes from LC here are unquestionably a good look for TSP and NANOOK, I wouldn't say this isn't something that could be constructed in scumchat. Especially since his thread position here was already significantly worse than before, as far as I could tell. And also because TSP/NANOOK can't be wolves together, so realistically, even if LC did include a partner in there, he still had a contingency in the form of the villager he pushed here. He could just push the villager over the wolf and "re-evaluate" later if he wanted.
Spoiler: show
Yeah, he TMId her as town super hard. Might just be the reason she was killed, honestly, nothing to do with framing anyone.
Mild V points for TSP? Don't think this is how a wolf reacts to a partner's post, but it's nothing clearing.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 1:29 amI'm laughing at this post.TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 1:28 am Which is usually have some decent reads and then wail in thread for three days

Okay, now this is really weird. Alexa is his TMI townread and a flipped villager, Esooa's a flipped villager too. Nanook is here for no reason at all. His previous post about nanook was questioning why nanook was a wagon, and here he slots nanook into his townreads for no reason whatsoever. It reads like he's trying to defend Nanook without saying that he's defending Nanook, and that's a bad look for Nanook - because LC has no reason to do this if Nanook's V.

By putting so many conditionals around them, you're maintaining suspicion on the slot, and you would generally want to diffuse it.
This only makes sense as partners with illario if LC trends toward bussing partners, in which case he's laying groundwork for a lategame bus, but he doesn't seem to play like a busser so far. He's not pushing aggressively and he seems to wish to invade the towncore. If anything, it seems he was trying to deepwolf (funny how that ended).
That actually looks super partnery with Ender, because he's insisting Ender's town for a pretty bad reason, and he's insisting on that while interacting with my slot. The shielding doesn't feel natural. Or rather, it doesn't feel like shielding a villager to me, because the fabricated reason's super terrible. If Ender were town being whiteknighted, I'd expect LC to find a better reason for the whiteknighting simply because those reasons would have to exist (townies are inherently towny in some ways and wolves can pick up on that). I think I'm explaining this poorly, but basically, if Ender were town I'd expect LC's reasons for defending him to be better. It's harder to find reasons for shielding a partner than it is for shielding a villager when you're a wolf, because villagers are inherently villagery and wolves are not.
The Nanook townread here is equally ??? as Ender's, but here, he leaves a caveat to move to scumreading him. He doesn't leave that caveat for Ender.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 7:17 pmI know Matt has been pushing me all game I just got annoyed with others coming in on that, sorry.
She's seen how bad I play as scum. You can read our maf chat I was literally asking her what to do the ENTIRE game and did draft posts in the chat.
I know, I just got annoyed by that happening right before I leave. I always get pushed at the worst possible times, like when I'm about to go to sleep or about to drive and I'm forced to stay on and defend myself otherwise it looks like I froze and I'm outed because I leave the game when I start being pushed.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 6:51 pmTheres no hammer today so
Also, like, people push when they push, there's no rule or etiquette that says you have to wait for someone to be online to push them lol
I'll answer the question first;
I started townreading Nanook early for townreading and coming to your defense in the early game. That's actually it, I haven't really read him since then because he was away until today while I was at work so I haven't paid enough attention to his posts.
Which actually looks more partnered with Ender than Nook, if I assume he's been trying to defend his partner and not bus them. The lack of wolf flips until yesterday points toward defending, or slotting in PoE and pushing elsewhere - but LC doesn't even have a PoE at this point, so.
Something something rule of 3 (Nanook/TSP/Transcend).
Ender really has no right to be this high.
Okay, he's outright TMIng my slot town here. Compare Wiml's placement on his previous readlist to the statement he presents here. The readlist had Wiml roughly at null - smack dab in the middle of it. But here, he's like "Wiml is solid town." There is absolutely no explanation for it, no progression, no justification, nothing. He just says that seemingly on instinct or based on a fabricated gut feeling. And sure, you could argue that he has no reason to call my slot solid town when I'm an open misyeet option, but the fact remains that he does - and it's so out of left field that it reads like instinctive TMI rather than anything agenda'd. I'll see if he was planning to shield my slot later in the game, but either way this is complete nonsense to me.
The more he randomly mentions Ender like this, though, the more I feel like Ender might just be a villager LC's trying to pocket. He has more interactions with Ender and alexa than anyone else in the game so far, and alexa flipped town.
Posts like these. Like, sure, wolves can interact with each other, but what I'm seeing here is that LC keeps randomly mentioning Ender and Ender alone, while Ender doesn't seem to be mentioning LC as much - at least, there's nothing as visible in this ISO. The constant mentioning of Ender and not trying to fake determining his alignment reads as simultaneously: TMI on Ender being town and trying to pocket Ender with this commentary.
Probably the pocketiest (is that even a word?) post about this so far.
LC'S PARTNER MUST BE A HIGHPOSTER BECAUSE OF THIS COMMENT!!! HIGHPOSTERS WOLVES!!!
Just kidding. But really, this ISO is a dumpster fire so far. I'm not sure why this was ever townread, hence my earlier comment. What were you doing while I wasn't here?

If you've seen him do this before then I believe you. Not the first time I've incorrectly townread someone for 1 singular reason.
This is not a post written by someone whose partner is in a bad spot at the time. Sure, it's fakeable, but this post's very existence points toward the partner being either miscleared or under the radar. LC reads to me like a somewhat impulsive player who tried to invade the towncore all game, my psychological read tells me this post would not exist if the wolf was PoEd already.
What was the day 1 consensus at the time? I looked through a few pages around the time of LC writing this post, but I didn't find anything like a read summary - other than a push on Mac, which gives me nothing as he's a flipped villager.
This dude is openwolfing. I know I keep mentioning this, but this read has virtually no progression behind it (c4, go away) and seems to exist just for the sake of having a scumread. There's no play by discovery here. He hasn't shown any indication of getting to that read within the thread, he just randomly mentioned this out of the blue for the first time here and it largely looks like sheeping the incorrect thread consensus.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 12:19 amI had a list of reasons but I forgot as the day is ending and I end up taking stuff that makes me sleepy but here we go.
Scumreading me, then the slight shade towards Ender for his "future push" on me as if you thought I was town, then going back to scumreading me immediately.
The denial of the "god townread" on Alexa and the meta explanations.
I actually had like 4 total reasons to scumread you but that was at like 8 PM my time, it's 12 now and I lost the other 2 reasons.
Meh, it doesn't matter, I'm just slightly salty despite not even being in the game until day 3, when I dunked on him after reading like 2 pages of his ISO. Get rekt LC.

He keeps talking about alexa. Half of his ISO is a defense of alexa. I'm skipping over it mostly.
I've just realized that my slot had like 700 posts yet LC failed to mention it once outside of that singular interaction with it and then calling it town for no reason.

Anyway.
Reminds me of the Wiggin stuff.
I know I said I wouldn't talk about this anymore, but.
Lmao.
No progression on calling TSP a wolf. Like, at all. He'd had no read on the slot for the entire game until then.
If TSP was thread consensus W at the time, this is another case of him following a thread consensus that was ~probably~ mistaken.
Lime Coke wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 10:23 am @EnderWiggin
Turbo games aren't exactly the games to go off of because they kinda suck.
If you want town meta, go through Shakespeare Maf (this game is a lot closer to that) or Reflections from the Mountaintop.
If you want maf meta, you already went through the 1 mafia game I won (I've lost the others) and 18er is the other.
This game I've been pulled into defending Alexa incredibly hard, which believe it or not takes way too much energy out of me and I lose game state awareness.
Shakespeare were 3 hour days where I had to hard defend Alexa for like, the first 2 hours, then EOD, or at least the last 10 minutes, came and I'd be clueless on who to vote.
That's kinda the issue this game which I kinda need to learn from but yeah.
I'm starting to see what Ender was talking about re: his push on LC being a good look for him. Judging by how LC's responding to it, I can see that.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 10:35 amAlso Arts and Crafts was a fluke win I didn't play that great of a game.

I'm not super confident because the Arts and Crafts did show he can play a decent wolf game, but from ALL of the other wolfgames including JOATED he doesn't show the same solvy approach I see in every one of his town games.
Also, Ender's pointing out the exact problem with LC's ISO until this point. He's just not solving. And it's very obvious.
A lot of defending. He does a lot of defending later, defending against the Ender ISO that I probably shouldn't quote because this post is enormous already. The most important part is that he is super committed to defending himself. If it were a W/W push I feel like he wouldn't have the need to defend himself so much.
One example. There's a lot more around that time.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:14 pm Plus you're noticing my reads are off, that's because my reads have BEEN off.

You understand why I'm being so cautious about my reads right now? Any time I spout multiple legacy reads, I've been dead wrong on some of them.
I'm usually right on one player, but the second player I end up being totally wrong and I fuck the town over by hardshielding a wolf.
Now, put yourself in the mind of LC if Ender's his partner. He knows that Ender probably doesn't plan to bus him because the posts aren't a push, they are a mere analysis. He knows that Ender knows his alignment and this entire thing is fake. He knows that Ender can pivot away from LC and into a villager, that the push is likely just for show.
Therefore, LC shouldn't feel the need to defend himself from it so much if they were W/W. But he does. In fact, when it comes to volume in his posts, his highest-volume posts so far are the posts where he's defending himself against Ender. He cares about defending himself here. He has investment. He does not want to die.
Which should make Ender "just town."
Noting the complete lack of mentions of Nanook so far, and of TSP (aside from calling TSP a wolf for no reason, possibly based on thread consensus, and then not even pushing on him), throughout this day 2. ...And of Illario, actually.

Where did the TSP wolfread go?
Where did the Mac wolfread go? He had this entire emotional post about why Mac was mafia and now he suddenly doesn't wolfread Mac? Mac's a flipped villager, but still.
The TSP wolfread was just for optics, it seems. And randomly calling Nanook mafia here is probably also for optics.
He outright proves my earlier point here. He's not shielding illario because he wants illario as a misyeet option available later in the game. I feel confident about this. He's treating illario exactly how I'd expect a wolf to treat a villager who's not a viable push early on but might become one later in the game.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 3:34 amNot Illario.MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 3:26 am @Lime Coke ur shielding alexa hard, are you shield ilario with the same vigour?
If there's anyone that's second highest townread to me it is Esooa but she hasn't had any pressure on her so I didn't need to shield.
This just makes me more suspicious of Nanook and TSP at this point. The world they both pushed this SoD is a world of two villagers fmpov, and neither has clearing interactions with LC so far. Neither has anything on LC's part that spews them town, either. I feel better about TSP than about Nanook on a personal level because of our live interactions, but those don't make me confident enough by themselves.
By the way, this is an extremely villagery post by illario, and also 100% correct. I'm back to thinking illario's just always a villager here. I also think he's correct in that it makes Ender look significantly better in hindsight.ilario wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:16 amTo add to why I don’t like this post:Lime Coke wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:05 pm I WILL PUT MY RESPONSES IN GIANT BOLD LETTERS TO MAKE THIS EASIER TO READ!!!

You say I fell off but I kinda do that as town too? Like Illario said, I start off strong, usually Day 1 I play really well, but by Day 3 or 4 I lose energy, motivation, and interest depending on how well the game is going.
https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/th ... f-the-Rift
Another town game I was on my alt Mystery Player, which is not a mystery anymore. I was strong all of Day 1, then Day 2 I hard defend Neo (NEO TOWN!) and go crazy with it (Again I'm trying to calm down), but my energy level went down further and further as the game went on because it was exhausting, and SaraC was annoying me.
I lose steam in games, this game specifically is draining me a bit. Like I said in games that I hard shield Alexa, or others, I end up losing game awareness and I forget most of my reads it's an awful ass habit.
I'll post this for now but I'm going to continue on, give me a few minutes.
His initial reaction is “okay there isn’t much that I can actually respond to? I don’t know how to respond to commentary”
Why does he feel the need to be able to respond to anything? I feel like that’s more of a scum mindset, where you see a case against you and you need to try and disprove it. I feel like my first instinct if I were to see a case on me would be to determine if the case is coming in good or bad faith. I don’t feeel like LC does anything there to evaluate Enders push on him.
LC continues to put TSP and Nanook close to the bottom of his readlists but never actually push them.
Blatantly encouraging a villager to vote a villager.
Illario's just town.
Snipped because this is absurdly long already. But this is by far the best look for Nanook and TSP. The fact he's calling the team Nanook and TSP here.
THAT SAID. He ended up dying that day, and it's not impossible he was already in antispew here. This is the only moment when he potentially spews Nanook and TSP town; his previous posts about them were all nothingburgers that didn't really point in the V direction for either of them. I can't say the same about illario or Ender; he's been consistently spewing illario and Ender town, although some of his posts about Ender early on looked partnery.
For that reason, I believe this isn't clearing for either of them. Especially since TSP and NANOOK both wanted to outright hammer LC. I feel like at least one of them wanted to do that on purpose so that he'd either stop spewing or that we'd get less time for discussion. I vocally requested time to read the game and stuff, but it was cut short by the hammer.
Considering all this, while the pushes from LC here are unquestionably a good look for TSP and NANOOK, I wouldn't say this isn't something that could be constructed in scumchat. Especially since his thread position here was already significantly worse than before, as far as I could tell. And also because TSP/NANOOK can't be wolves together, so realistically, even if LC did include a partner in there, he still had a contingency in the form of the villager he pushed here. He could just push the villager over the wolf and "re-evaluate" later if he wanted.
Notice how he pivots to my slot as soon as he has an excuse. He doesn't have nearly as much attachment to these Nanook/TSP wolfreads, and the Nanook case in particular, as he postures to have when he posts the case. That's why it isn't clearing.Lime Coke wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 12:01 amIf you're more confident on Wiml being maf then I'll be fine with voting him out today, then.

2. LC asking what post cap is makes him scummy.
3. LC agrees often with what his top townread says.

This was similar to how I won cop CC battles on EpicMafia. I would basically just ATE the entire player roster 1 by 1 to get them to vote out my CC.
I was somewhat doing the same here until Alexa stood her ground and spoke about wanting Wiml out instead, that's when I unvoted and spoke about my intentions of voting out Wiml.
Yes I cased Nanook.
But when I tried to talk to Alexa about getting him, she told me she would rather get Wiml. So I decided "sure, why the fuck not?" since there's dead towns that scumread the slot before dying.

Vulgard slot is most likely mafia with the way he started going after me when he realized he subbed into a slot that was getting a lot of heat. He saw you were tunneling me and he wants to feed off of it.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
Conclusions:
- LC spews illario town and illario also looks like a villager independently. I see no reason to doubt my townread on the slot based on LC's ISO; if anything, it's even stronger now.
- I think LC's ISO clears Ender as well. LC's treatment of the slot felt partnery at first but then I wrapped around to thinking it was pockety instead, since it felt consistent with how he treated many other flipped villagers throughout the game. There's also the fact his defense against Ender's ISO of him felt significantly more invested, genuinely, than nearly anything else he did for the entire game. If Ender were a wolf ISOing his partner for optics, I'd expect LC to be less invested in defending himself against that.
- TSP and Nanook are not cleared whatsoever and I think the wolfcase on Nanook in particular was done purely for optics. After posting it in BIG TEXT, LC has no posts that prove he has any attachment to the case, no posts that show he actually wants to get Nanook killed, and the same thing goes for TSP. He didn't try to misyeet them if they were villagers. Instead, as soon as my slot's name was brought to the table, he was like "okay I can sheep you let's kill Wiml." This proves that 1. he didn't actually care about the push as much as he portrayed at first, and 2. he was okay with killing my slot when he objectively should've been pushing Nanook and TSP. His avoidance of going through with the Nanook/TSP push leads me to believe the last wolf is within that group.
- The other thing about TSP and Nanook is that aside from the wolfcase, there isn't actually anything that clears them in LC's ISO, while there is in the case of Ender and Illario (and me). The way he treats my slot, Ender's slot and illario's slot points to these three slots being town. He tried to pocket Ender on numerous occasions and got cold feet when ISOd by him. He only townread illario because he was sheeping the villager he whiteknighted (alexa), and left several hints that he might flip on illario later on - therefore, he was keeping illario around as a lategame misyeet option. If illario were LC's partner, LC could just townread him and call it a day, but that isn't what he did. He kept introducing conditionals to his illario read, which seems to me that he planned to push illario at some point, and that isn't how I'd expect him to treat a partner given his play this game. LC's ISO makes it obvious he was trying to deepwolf and not bus for credit, fmpov. And as for my slot, he tried to get my slot to push flipped villagers a couple of times, and was always okay with pushing it despite repping other wolfreads, and despite casing Nanook and TSP. He also had this moment early in the game where my slot was in the middle of his readlist but he called it strong town for absolutely no reason other than TMI.
- LC spews illario town and illario also looks like a villager independently. I see no reason to doubt my townread on the slot based on LC's ISO; if anything, it's even stronger now.

And as for my slot, he tried to get my slot to push flipped villagers a couple of times, and was always okay with pushing it despite repping other wolfreads, and despite casing Nanook and TSP. He also had this moment early in the game where my slot was in the middle of his readlist but he called it strong town for absolutely no reason other than TMI.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
The only player I could say LC has ever tried to get killed this game was Mac on day 2, and that's a flipped villager. Even then, he didn't commit to it extra hard, but at least there was some commitment. The NANOOK/TSP wolfcase had some commitment in it, but no commitment after it.
I'll read TSP and Nanook's ISOs later to see how they have played and how they have talked about LC, but from LC's ISO alone these two look the worst. One is a villager, though.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
I also really hate the fact Nanook had the me/illario world during this SoD, when I think we actually look great from LC's ISO and that illario's independently super villagery. TSP supporting it isn't any better. I can't give them any excuses for it, either, because as people who've read the whole game they should know this.

I had him for a bitEnderWiggin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 8:05 am Illario, Alexa, Esooa, and several others had LC at town.
I stepped in and pulled a wolf-case out of my ass.
It took me TWO DAYS to get them flipped.
Don't fucking say that it was "Easy wolf-pick"
The only other people that picked up on it were Alison early (N1 kill) and Transcend (D1 flip)

I've put on my tinfoil and looked back thoroughly, but I don't think it's the case.
Reasons I had to tinfoil this:
Alexa dying to NK over me.

Why would any mafia not named ilario kill you lolEnderWiggin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 10:04 am Why doesn't w!Nanook NK me?
I've been one of his stronger tr, and going into EOD I just led a flip on his partner. People were mostly townreading me bar Wiml in thread.
Nanook WAS also townreading Alexa and that does remove the Ilario shield if that's the aim.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

But yes you'll note that I realized ilario was/is probably town and swapped tsp into my poe instead, unprompted

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
i mean u only need to look how lc treated my slot to know that. even in his case of YOU he spent half of it talking about ME. and how you were pushing my slot in bad faith. he used me as a frame of reference specifically to shade your slot, the entire bulk of the first half of his case rests on the assumption that im town.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 12:02 pmFypov sureilario wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 12:01 pmthe only thing the alexa nk implies is that i might be wrong to defend vulguard/wimls slot yesterday. that was the ONLY real difference between me and her on that dayNANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 11:28 amAlexa being nked makes it more likely ilario is town, not lessEnderWiggin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 9:30 am Illario is town.

honestly the worst part is when i was looking at interactions before lc got hammered i remember noting down that lc/tsp not teamed in my iso, i remember writing i think lc/nanook not teamed....and well ender was the one who buried lc....if im going by interactions it might just be vuldaddy but i really cant do this to him again.

Re: Buckets: War of the GOATs [Day 4]
But I don’t want to believe winl was mafia. Because then that means, that on d2 the guy really did cross so many lines and for what?? Because he was being correctly fossed by myself and Alexa?? The dude went above and beyond in his emotional gaslighting throughout the game. like sure I can understand that from a town pov being mistreated. But if he’s maf then that means all that toxicity and unnecessary rudeness to us was because we were Reading him correctly??
Idk it’s just like a really sour taste in my mouth and like when I first met him he was like some nice sweet guy, probably the nicest of people I first met coming to the site. Idk how much of my townread on him is based on the fact that I just don’t want to accept he did all that shit as mafia just so we wouldn’t vote him or because he was frustrated at being correctly fossed and needed to vent his frustrations on us.
