Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
It's not impossible. But I think Dizzy's statement is something that wolves will often gloss over because they know the premise isn't true, rather than try to give themselves credit for it.
Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
I'm wondering who is wolfier between Boq and JJJ. I don't want another mislynch.

Creature voters, I'm curious if you agree with this take.
@fingersplints @RondoDimBuckle @NateTheLesserCan I ask why Creature is a priority for you to solve coming into today?
Creature is one of the few living players to have garnered wagons on them in this game.
I tagged those people because they all had EOD votes on him.
Yeah, I get that. But with the Ender miss, heading into the night phase, was Creature top of your list of players you need to look into? And what conclusions about gamestate etc are you drawing from that?
Also, to answer your actual ping, I honestly don't get much from meta ISOs of other games. Maybe other people do but I don't.

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
I'd like to look at a few players' ISOs, but with a different analytic objective than just making raw judgments. I'm going to draw from Sloonei (one of the best late game town players in all of forum Mafia) and take a different approach. I will presume a mafia agenda exists and then determine what it must be. Then I will decide how I feel about it.

You think scum would kill any of the three of us over Dizzy even if we were all town? We all have considerably more heat than him, and he shielded Ender last day phase.

If it was Nate posting Rondo's analysis, I wouldn't have said anything, because it wouldn't strike me as strange or surprising. Again, my emphasis is on figuring out why this person is doing the thing they're doing, as opposed to nitpicking at the exact content.

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 3]
I might have misspoke or miswritten my post. My intention was always to clear you if Ender was wolf, because of the very same rationale that you later quote, re: you are supporting Ender's rival. Conversely, if Ender is town, then you look scummier because you sided against him.Boquise wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 6:57 pm So this one is cool. I am being shaded in the Ender w world, which is not weird because Alison has tried to pair me with Ender since iirc D1 or D2? What is weird though is that I am suddenly scum in the Ender V world too. I realise that the context in this post is "if Alison dies this is her legacy", but it is still a weird thought.
@Alison
1. Why am I wolf in the Ender v world?
2. Why would wolf I kill you in this world (which you imply)?
3. Why have you not pressed me that much today?
Yes, I sided against Ender too. I am privileged enough to know that my suspicion came from a townie place. I am attempting to figure out who else alongside me on the wagon had bad intentions.
I have not pressed you that much today because a lot of this analysis goes out the window if Jay is also town. I am/was working under the presumption that Ender/Jay is a difference check, and have acted accordingly. If I was wrong about this, then many of my reasons to suspect you aren't as strong. (eg. your towncase on Jay is a lot less scummy in a town Jay world) At any rate I think I am always voting out Jay before you just on pure scum equity.

I don't know why he couldn't have done it slightly earlier (eg. he could have overlapped Mac and Seanzie's reads yesterday), but he seemd a little busy D3 so I guess it makes sense.Marmot wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 9:30 amWhat do you think of his explanation?Alison wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 9:17 amI meant "what made you think I meant to imply your approach was bullshit".
I don't care about his approach. I don't think it's "bullshit", and as Rondo himself suggests, I've been known to use it myself. I'm more interested in understanding why he chose now to use it, and what made him decide to start doing detailed legacy analyses all of a sudden when he has been posting off the cuff for the rest of the game.
Also what do you think of the hostility he showed toward you in that response?
I don't know what to make of the hostility. Gun to head, I don't think it's scummy, as a mafia Rondo would be fairly deep here and wouldn't want to make waves or make enemies. I'd like him to explain it more, though, because it seemed to come out of nowhere.
The hostility comes from someone in my Poe putting a perceived light sus on my reads which I am not having. Especially when they use the same format themselves. So your question seemed to be coming from a disingenuous place
As for why now? I didn't feel like I had enough information n=1 is basically random and statistically insignificant. N=2 is a line plot and won't show a circle. Now n=3 which can show patterns.

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
Yeah the numbers are also weighted evidence for how current/strong the read is.

If you feel like doing it, I'd be interested in the numbers if you only take into account Mac/Sean/Dizzy, since those are the players the wolves directly removed from the game (eg maybe they had overlapping suspicions that were correct).
You can run it yourself I post the evidence and the maths, but I will do it later when I am home if you haven't. But its a good thought. I have my worries about you but I can't get distracted, the same with finger. I have resolved to only look at these 5 for now

Don't think for a second that I didn't see how several players last EOD tried to chainsaw me into an Ender yeet with "if Ender flips town Boq is wolf".
I am surprised I have zero votes and JJJ is getting heat, but I'm going to give everyone who said that homework. Explain why you thought so.
This kill again points at 1 scum inside me/JJJ/Alison btw so I am feeling smug about being right there.
Also. I am only 20 pages left to be done with reading the MU qualis. I am going to have a headache for a wee while afterwards, but it also mean that today I will be able to play with much more ease. Sorry woofs tbh
I still think Fingers is town and so is Rondo though his posts against me are a bit wolfy

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
To ensure I am not misunderstood in this post, I am following this method (click) to presume a mafia agenda. That means I will be theorizing a mafia-aligned purpose for the posts I encounter. That doesn't mean necessarily that I think it's correct or true. It's a way of exploring a possible world both analytically and emotionally.
Creature
Does this mafia agenda make sense?
Technically, sure. It wouldn't be a "shocking" mafia agenda. There were some little points where I felt a little bit silly presuming the mafia agenda, particularly in the earliest portions of his posts. So some of these points are not compelling to me. If there's a lasting concern here, it's that I think there's been a little distance separating Creature's lamentations about the game state and Creature's actual pushes and votes. The game state is as much his own as it is most others'.

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
Not entirely sure how I feel about this exercise, as I acknowledge the bias that is quite literally and deliberately built into it. However, it still might help to split the necessary hairs in the current player list. As always I welcome thoughts, about Creature above and about others I explore to come.

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
Sorry for being snappy.
I don't trust a word you say Nate because you started the day with a post that flipped a townread on me, indicated that you had not read anything overnight to indicate a change in stance, then said you were going to go find evidence to back it up.
It looks like an agenda to me, and even leaked out in your post. And it's been over 24 hours since your vote was placed, and you have not pursued finding any evidence to support said change in stance as you said you would.
Creature has been a point of contention in this game. I still think there is reason to believe he is town. Several other players apparently do not, including you. I would like to know what your read on him is at this moment.

Work rudely decided to make me actually do things today.Marmot wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 12:48 am Sorry for being snappy.
I don't trust a word you say Nate because you started the day with a post that flipped a townread on me, indicated that you had not read anything overnight to indicate a change in stance, then said you were going to go find evidence to back it up.
It looks like an agenda to me, and even leaked out in your post. And it's been over 24 hours since your vote was placed, and you have not pursued finding any evidence to support said change in stance as you said you would.
Creature has been a point of contention in this game. I still think there is reason to believe he is town. Several other players apparently do not, including you. I would like to know what your read on him is at this moment.
I'm reevaluating a lot of people, not just you. The long and short of it is, I came out of yesterday townreading Boq and Jay; I still townread Lucy (though I wish she'd actually get involved); and I think at least one of Finger/Creature is town (I lean Finger at this point). That gives me all the town I need for a winning POE of you/Alison/Rondo/(the other of Finger/Creature). So that's where I'm at today, and I need to see if it holds up.
The thing I didn't find convincing about your Fingersplints towncase, and what you've now done with Creature as well, is that it's all meta. I asked you a couple times to point to Fingersplints posts in this game that you liked, but you didn't (that I saw). If there are posts that you think show Creature is town, I'd like to see them. It's not difficult to find posts of his that are anti-town at best. Like this progression is one that has stuck in my mind:
NateTheLesser wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 4:05 pmThis is Alison's case:Ender and Boq disagree.Alison wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 2:52 am fingersplints' ISO:
Nate has identified #1325 as a particularly sketchy post, because it shifts responsibility for the falcon exe onto Mac, and also hedges her own stance on falcon. I tend to agree with Nate here, and think it's a bad look for fingersplints.
I didn't like #1363 either. She says that she's contemplating where we should vote if we misexe on D1, but there's no followup, and I don't see her talking about the results of this contemplation later on, even where it is appropriate and natural to do so (eg. in #1458 where she is talking about how she wouldn't mind a falcon flip as it would give lots of interactives to figure out where to vote next). Alarmingly, she also does not bring up the results of this contemplation when we do end up missing D1. This suggests that she was just saying it to look like she was solving without actually putting in real analysis or thought into where we should go if our D1 flips green.
I didn't like #2012 either because it looks like her taking a cheap shot at Boquise's attempts to read into Mac's legacy. I'm generally pretty skeptical of discrediting a strong townie's legacy completely or brushing off nightkills as "who knows?" without at least trying to read into them.
She then proceeds to claim that she thought Boquise was treated as null by the rest of the thread, when in my view he was clearly being treated as consensus town. This might be a good sign for her, because it suggests that she is distinctly uninformed: I think she would likely know how the thread is treating Boquise more accurately if she was in scum chat and had partners to catch her up.
In #2128, she says she's interested in taking a closer look at Creature, but then doesn't mention Creature again. Votes for Dizzy instead in #2133 - which is a reasonable vote, but her interest in Creature seems to have mysteriously vanished.
-
Overall, I'd say that I came out of fingersplints' ISO with a markedly worse impression of her before. I broadly agree with Nate's claim that her vote on falcon was hedgy and accountability-dodging, and I'd add that at two separate points in the game she indicates she'll look into something and then never brings it up or mentions it again, even when it would be very natural to do so.
Based off this, I'd be happy to back a fingersplints wagon, and have her in my bottom POE.

And a Wilgy/Creature vote may be safer
Comes in asking if there's a case on Fingersplints. Votes Wilgy a few minutes later without getting an answer. I quote the case at him as well as who disagrees with it. Later he admits he didn't read it. It's pretty easy to wolfread that as someone who wants to move their vote to a better counterwagon but also seem like they're interested in solving.

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
As you noticed, I am not one to shy away from pressuring you despite my read.

And reading you both as town is a big factor in my view of the gamestate today. So I'm wondering if you see the "olive branch" the same way you did yesterday?Boquise wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 2:19 am Hi.
Don't think for a second that I didn't see how several players last EOD tried to chainsaw me into an Ender yeet with "if Ender flips town Boq is wolf".
I am surprised I have zero votes and JJJ is getting heat, but I'm going to give everyone who said that homework. Explain why you thought so.
This kill again points at 1 scum inside me/JJJ/Alison btw so I am feeling smug about being right there.
Also. I am only 20 pages left to be done with reading the MU qualis. I am going to have a headache for a wee while afterwards, but it also mean that today I will be able to play with much more ease. Sorry woofs tbh
I still think Fingers is town and so is Rondo though his posts against me are a bit wolfy

I asked you a question too Boq. (Do you still townread JJJ after the flips?)

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 4]
That's a very fair point that I did not consider.
I think Dizzy was pretty pushable until yesterday, so sure, maybe he could be killed if all of us are town, but there's also the seanize kill

Re: Halvøsen Ridge [DAY 3]
mmmm okayAlison wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 9:29 pmI might have misspoke or miswritten my post. My intention was always to clear you if Ender was wolf, because of the very same rationale that you later quote, re: you are supporting Ender's rival. Conversely, if Ender is town, then you look scummier because you sided against him.Boquise wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 6:57 pm So this one is cool. I am being shaded in the Ender w world, which is not weird because Alison has tried to pair me with Ender since iirc D1 or D2? What is weird though is that I am suddenly scum in the Ender V world too. I realise that the context in this post is "if Alison dies this is her legacy", but it is still a weird thought.
@Alison
1. Why am I wolf in the Ender v world?
2. Why would wolf I kill you in this world (which you imply)?
3. Why have you not pressed me that much today?
Yes, I sided against Ender too. I am privileged enough to know that my suspicion came from a townie place. I am attempting to figure out who else alongside me on the wagon had bad intentions.
I have not pressed you that much today because a lot of this analysis goes out the window if Jay is also town. I am/was working under the presumption that Ender/Jay is a difference check, and have acted accordingly. If I was wrong about this, then many of my reasons to suspect you aren't as strong. (eg. your towncase on Jay is a lot less scummy in a town Jay world) At any rate I think I am always voting out Jay before you just on pure scum equity.
I will need to look at what you have said is Jay's scum equity tbh

@Creature if you are town you will actually have to play ball with me instead of crying doom. Why am I wolf because Ender flipped town? Explain your thought process.

I think it's fair to say the Seanzie kill points there. I was curious why you thought the Dizzy kill points there too.Boquise wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 3:06 amThat's a very fair point that I did not consider.

I don't disagree that there is very likely a scum in us three.

I just realised I didn't reply to this @ at best I will read when I get home and at worst I won't read it. I really don't like reading other games. This game is the only one that matters right now. If you get what I mean. Anything else is a form of wifom. But if its short I might give it a go laterMarmot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 10:20 pmMarmot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 10:13 pm I still think Creature's town tbh. I review two of his scum games and two of his town games in the last year, and his posting is far more in line with his town games. Specifically his paranoid complaints about mis-elimming at EOD. There's just none of that in his scum games, and quite a bit in his town games.
Town
Pandas vs Trash Pandas
RPG Mafia
Scum
Rings of Power
Fall of Númenor
Creature voters, I'm curious if you agree with this take.

I say exact because I don’t want this to be like the POE where there is an extra person or any well if I’m wrong about this person than this person.
I think this will be interesting to compare
