I don't think any combination of those names kills Jack which means you probably are misclearing a town and it is probably SPF.
Does wolf!spf go out of her way to speak down to a town player's skills and also NK that player who she had been pushing for a long while tbh?

I think Rondo's latest posting has been townie but considering he zeroposted and then silent voted and continued to zeropost D1 I don't feel bad at all about suspecting him before he came back to the thread and would not suspect anyone just for wanting him dead.

I am trying to understand this Alison. Disregarding the NK for a second, from your perspective, do you believe SPF would not just anchor the kill onto you today as the most "optimal kill" instead of trying to "buss" Creature from your perspective?
Like from SPF's POV if she is mafia with Creature, isn't it in her win con to evade killing or bussing her partner in this instance and just go Alison > Creature. What credit does she get over the Creature kill now, especially with the town reads she already has?

Like I just don't understand how u can think SPF is mafia from ur POV if u have the POE u stated and with the direction SPF has pushed today which seems to align with your own POE. It's not even like SPF is trying to set u up or anything like that and infact is defending you and has shown it through their actions. SO I am just confused why you continue to think she is scummy from ur POV?

Maybe and maybe. I think the first is well within her scum range. I don't have a grasp on her NK "range" or philosophy, how WIFOM-y she is, etc., but Jack was the only one who really suspected her D1 which means that on some level SPF has a concrete motive to kill him.

Who do you think are the likely names to want Jack dead?

Who do you think are the likely names to want Jack dead?
I dont think anyone wanted Jack dead, but I have a few theories tbh. That wolves were afraid of Jack's reads is one.

Other theories:
A) Mafia overestimated Jack's survivability, that he would be able to post himself clear on D2. Requires knowledge of him. Here SPF fits imo.
B) Mafia wants to frame you. This could be done both sincerely or in a wifomy manner. The latter pointing at you, the former your main pushers.
C) A Jack kill signals that there is at least a wolf inside Me/Mac/SPF/Aro, similar to the other game we played here when the N1 kill (or was it the N2? idr) made me start thinking there was a wolf in you/me/JJJ. Lo and behold, there were two.
D) Mafia actually contains of noobs who misread the game and arent good at making NKs Can be combined with B.
E) Mafia are chaos goblins, can be combined with B. Mafia are so confident with their thread position so they don't care.


I guess if I theorise more, Nanook should probably not want Jack murdered solely because they held the same thread position, and Falcon, who was in the same position too, was yeeted.

Has Creature actually said things to make you intensify your scumread on him or are you just saying this so you can quote it to seem unaligned after a Creature red flip?

When Mac wrongly tunnelled you in Spiritfarer you were extremely frustrated that someone you perceived as obvious town just couldn't get there on you. Here you seem more bemused at my push on you than anything... considering a big part of my scumread involves NKA which you think is bullshit shouldn't you be equally frustrated with me?

also forgot to reply to:
"I think the first is well within her scum range."
It is just so rare to see a wolf go out of their way talk down to a town player like that, and it doesnt fit how I have perceived Spf's personality. But I take your word into consideration tbh

Between now and the last time you talked about him, I mean. Or were you bet the game on him even before then and you are just reiterating your position?

to be clear, i have neon in my "null" tier, and i consider her to be in my upper POE. i've gotten several townpings from her in a tonal/"vibe" sense (Iie: i think she has consistently handled suspicion in a way that most wolves struggle to do, i think she comes off as relaxed and unconcerned with how she is being perceived in a way that is atypical for a wolf), but that read hasn't formed into a concrete townlean because i think most of the stuff that i'm describing is easily fakeable by a good wolf

so idk, i think she "makes sense" as a wolf in many worlds but i just don't feel like she is the most likely to be a wolf out of all the people in my POE, if that makes sense

Boquise wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 3:46 pm I was and am worried when reading this day that creature and alison are both town. It felt like we were all set on a yeet order of Alison > Creature, and it is very bad for town to have two monotonous days like that, bad for morale and so on.

At first I town read both but accepted that I would have to play ball with the thread consensus. Neither Alison or Creature seem to be likely to make a Jack kill (though Alison did make a post that made me step back from that thought). Furthermore, Alison has not really done anything scummy and Creature has played mostly from what I am used of him as town. Hence my conundrum. Yeeting outside of them now after the thread has become static is pretty bad though considering D3 will just be a repeat of D2.

Anyway so I did my own poking and thinking whilst thinking on who of them I will place my vote on. I was first going to vote Alison solely to resolve D1 wagons. But I have then decided on Creature because he has made at least some posts I find to be wolfy, and some posts look like wolfy salt. And like, if both are town... I would have to be forced to look at people like Spf, and I happen to town read Spf. So. Yeah.


The player I think is the wolfiest though is Neon.
Neon reacted strongly when I dared to vote Lily.
I have also noted that both Lily and Neon make empty-ish reads and defends players in similar situations as them. Such in, both clamouring that Porscha is town etc.
I think Lily has done some townie posts though.

What has pinged me is that both of them write about how bad they are at mafia, but then we have a post like this from Neon:
Neon wrote: Fri Sep 23, 2022 7:51 am In wolf equity though I have this to say. I suck at Werewolf but I'm better than that.
Like, the need to defend one's wolf game is often viewed as a townie thing, but this vibe feels like Neon is slighted by my comment. Especially since what I accused her of isnt really a bad scum move.

The progression on me is non-existant. I get punished for not following the status quo and Neon does not want to engage tbh. Neon also lacks the same entitlement as Porscha tbh.

There is a possibility that both Lily and Neon are town who just so happen to be saying the almost same thing and play in the same manner, I have seen that before in other players, but it could just as well be a pocket tbh. I have been "yelled at"/"criticised" by scum when shading their pocket target before tbh


Today I will play ball and be a team player. I'm not very accurate with scum reads and I trust those who are better than me tbh. Just wanted this to be said in case I get NK'd tonight tbh.
But if I am alive tomorrow I will go rogue tbh.


also
Rondo is doing some solve, it is noticed. I still refuse to make a read of him tbh
Nanook is exist too but due to the stagnant day, he has not received ample pressure. I hope we can play D3 without a set in stone agenda between two players solidified right at sod tbh.

If Alison/Creature are v/v, then the only thing that has mattered for scum today is withhold the status quo. It also means they had it chill on D1 too.
I didnt see any sense of urgency during eod1, so I guess that could make Alison spewed town?


I think
Aro, spf, Lucy, Porscha, Seanzie are town
Mac, Lily, Alison - town leans
Rondo, Nanook - Null
Creature - scum lean? Idk Could as well be a town lean but ergh.
Neon - scum lean

So unless the team is exactly between like Neon/Creature/Rondo/Nanook (picking my four lowest reads), I am wrong in my towns tbh.

yes, creature appears to be in anti-spew by all indications, and i have never seen him play this way as a villager. he sheepishly parked his vote on me and threw a fit in the thread even though there was no realistic chance of me going over, and then made several posts talking about how he was going to inevitably die even though he still had an incredibly high chance of surviving at the time that he made those posts. i think that he has relied on rhetoric/ATE more than he typically does as town and that his view of the game does not feel like it comes from the perspective of someone who is invested in solving the game

The problem is that those worlds either don't make sense or implicate SPF.

A) implicates SPF as you have said.
B) is unlikely. To frame me the obvious kill is Mac. He was saying he would blacklist anyone who didn't vote me yesterday, so killing him N1 strongly frames me + prevents him (who has a very good grasp of my meta) from reevalling me as he did.
C) Again signals there is a wolf in the group which contains SPF.
D)... I don't think there is anyone who is that nooby that they don't know that Jack is a worse kill than Mac or SPF in the worlds they are town.
E) implicates Rondo more than anyone, but Rondo is both townie and appears to have been afk through the night phase.

If wolves are so confident in their thread position they don't care then that implicates SPF as well.

So you see my worry here.

mostly asking if it has the same issue of Porcha into Alison
I guess I'm okay with either despite me TR'ing creature, everyone else thinks he is outed. My biggest concern on the subject is that if we have to think of alison vs creature and alison vs porscha, the 1 constant is alison. For this reason and my shameful tr on creature, I prefer alison today

B) Mafia wants to frame you. This could be done both sincerely or in a wifomy manner. The latter pointing at you, the former your main pushers.
C) A Jack kill signals that there is at least a wolf inside Me/Mac/SPF/Aro, similar to the other game we played here when the N1 kill (or was it the N2? idr) made me start thinking there was a wolf in you/me/JJJ. Lo and behold, there were two.
D) Mafia actually contains of noobs who misread the game and arent good at making NKs Can be combined with B.
E) Mafia are chaos goblins, can be combined with B. Mafia are so confident with their thread position so they don't care.


I guess if I theorise more, Nanook should probably not want Jack murdered solely because they held the same thread position, and Falcon, who was in the same position too, was yeeted.
The problem is that those worlds either don't make sense or implicate SPF.

A) implicates SPF as you have said.
B) is unlikely. To frame me the obvious kill is Mac. He was saying he would blacklist anyone who didn't vote me yesterday, so killing him N1 strongly frames me + prevents him (who has a very good grasp of my meta) from reevalling me as he did.
C) Again signals there is a wolf in the group which contains SPF.
D)... I don't think there is anyone who is that nooby that they don't know that Jack is a worse kill than Mac or SPF in the worlds they are town.
E) implicates Rondo more than anyone, but Rondo is both townie and appears to have been afk through the night phase.

If wolves are so confident in their thread position they don't care then that implicates SPF as well.

So you see my worry here.
I will keep it in mind then tbh

also alison i'm not frustrated by your push on me because you have no thread sway right now and nobody is paying attention to you, whereas mac was almost able to singlehandedly make the entire thread tinfoil me with the forcefulness of his push. i think that your reasoning is self-evidently horrible but i don't see the point in engaging about it unless i feel like it's necessary. it's not necessary right now

btw despite everything i have said about status quo and automatic yeets, i will probably throw a fit if i wake up and see that another random yeet à la Falcon happened once again. Since D2 has been stagnant, yeeting outside of that source will doom D3, and I will go rogue tbh

I could maybe see a world where the Jack kill was made to make town go into chaos and tinfoil the big names... but that implies that the mafia are all not within the big names (something like Porscha Creature Neon) and made a ballsy WIFOM kill. This would require a lot of cojones given the chance that they just get run over if the WIFOM doesn't work. I guess I have seen mafia try it once (in Champs Practice Game 1 this year) but they got swept for it so lol.

staypositivefriend wrote: Wed Sep 21, 2022 11:08 pm i think part of the problem with this game is that i'm struggling to establish a foundation of people that i trust, and all of my thoughts more disjointed than they usually are

i think that mac is blatant town and the way he has played over the last ~2 hours or so cement that fact. i don't think his push on alison comes out in the specific way that it has (or with the level of conviction that it has) in a world where he's mafia

i'm struggling to come to alison being a wolf for a couple of reasons:

1. if alison is mafia, who reasonably has partner equity with her? the momentum against her yesterday came almost exclusively from a pool of people that i perceive as likely containing a high number of wolves, and most of these were players were widely POE'd yesterday as well (ie: Nanook, Neon, Porscha,, Seanzie,, RondoDimBuckle all had their votes on alison toward the end of the day and were among the earliest to push against her)

so, in a world where the wolves are being correctly widely POE'd by the rest of the game and are in an unstable thread position, why on earth would they decide to hardbus alison? what would they gain from bussing one of the strongest players in the game who could easily endgame as a wolf? what tangible benefit would they get from it?

the alternative is that alison actually is mafia and her partners voted to protect her on d1, but this would require that:

A. my view of the game is upside down and there are multiple wolves contained within like, (mac, lily, lucy, aro), etc

B. the wolves were willing to go hard to protect alison on d1 with the full awareness that they would look bad in a world where she inevitably flipped W

this doesn't seem like a risk that most wolf teams would be willing to take, and i actually suspect that alison is the type of player who would ASK to be bussed in the position she was in on d1, but i don't see any viable bussers for her that wouldn't have been stupidly suicidal/playing against the win condition of their team to try to bury her on d1

2. i just don't find her posts that wolfy. maybe this is a skill issue on my part, and maybe my mind will change once i read mac's posts about alison more thoroughly, but i just don't! she is much more assertive and forceful with her reads than she was in the spec chat inviational, in which she was extremely passive and barely made moves to influence the threadstate. she is much more naturally suspicious of me even though she would almost want to pocket me in a world where she's a wolf and i'm incorrectly defending her. and in general, i don't find the reasons i've seen to scumread her (outside of some of mac's points) to be compelling or good.....at all

so yeah idk, im trying my best to conceptualize analison wolf world but i can't really shake the feeling that she's more likely to be town than not. there have been multiple times in recent memory where i had a correct read and the entire gamestate was telling me i was wrong and i ended up being right anyway - i don't really want to doubt my instincts even though i'm aware that i'm creating quite the hole for myself in a world where alison is W

porscha is still a wide target of suspicion among most people here, but i am similarly struggling to grasp what the case on her is. i agree that some of her posts in early d1 felt fake and like they came from a wolf that is going through the motions, but i think she has significantly improved from the middle of d1- nward, even if i'm not confident about her being town. i think that i need a specific case against porscha in order for me to get to a world where she's a wolf, because as of now i would describe her posts as being: "broadly fine"

i want to write a paragraph for every player here but im losing energy so im just gonna post it
guess you would need to possibly consider that some of those players aren't wolves?

perhaps that is not the world we are in?

out of these players listed specifically, I am not against lucy or aro possibly being wolves. I TR mac and lily.

do you find alison's gameplay to be difficult to find between her alignments? she is a logical argument based player - this leads to more "objective" and "logical" conclusions that may be hard to differentiate between alignment play. Are you basing your alison read on her actual posts, or on meta from the last game you mentioned where she wolfed? A combination maybe?

why does everybody always say this lol. wolves can't pocket everyone...
which ones?

Which world are we win?color]

Why do you wolf read them and town read the others?


1) I think out of those listed, nook is most likely, neon possible, doubtful on sean

2) I don't know I just like asking people stupid questions about game state views to help ensure bases get covered

3) when I made the post, I have had mac town from his kerfluffle with alison earlier in the game. I think lily has towntold. I felt relatively null on lucy earlier but since her posts regarding the creature push, she comes off as more towny. I will watch her closely but she can be tl. I haven't particularly found something to sr her for. as for aro - I dont feel I can read him particularly well and I'm always worried he's wolfing in front of my very eyes. no particular sr for him at the time either. it was based on who I tr'd which just left the remainders but I would not say I am currently sr'ing both of them. curious to see both of their progressions tho


You started off so strong but then you waffled into a nothing burger at the end. Plenty of people you are town on but your scums are umming and uhhing on. I started reading and thought "Maybe Porcha IS town?" Then just kinda lost the vibe


I will not apologize for having a few confident town reads with a hazy idea of who is best for poe

Yes but I am not saying because it makes the wagonomics much less organic especially if Creature is mafia. I will lock in my decision by 2 hours to EOD.

NKA correctly led SK to suspect there was a wolf in the sisterhood, which was pivotal for exerting pressure in me. Specifically the reasoning that an "offbeat" N1 indicated a wolf in the towncore... which is exactly what I am thinking here. And is exactly what happened in Halvorsen Ridge and was true there as well.

I don't know if Creature is in anti spew or not. I just think he's been wolfy and his pushes have been bad (the most recent example being him trying to call out Boq for slipping under the radar when Boq loudly deviated from consensus to pressure a widely townread player).

Alright, I have to go to an event soonish I don't think I'll be back before EOD although I might be able to check my phone.

[VOTE: Creature] aubergine

I was hoping to see if anyone would assume I would stay self voted and try to get me over, and Nanook silent voted so I would hard POE him if Creature flips mafia.

If I go over, legacy is to turbo Creature. If Creature flips mafia, turbo Nanook, then Porscha/Arogame/SPF in some order. Very likely to find the last two here, although you should re-evaluate in FX and based on the nightkills. If Creature flips town then the game is fucked and you should probably reassess Mac. Seanzie is very likely a wolf in this world given he has been mostly coasting today with very few relevant pushes and that makes sense if the wagons are T/T. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Don't trust my reads too much in that world anyway.

can you talk to me a little bit about neon and your feelings about her being town?
to be clear, i have neon in my "null" tier, and i consider her to be in my upper POE. i've gotten several townpings from her in a tonal/"vibe" sense (Iie: i think she has consistently handled suspicion in a way that most wolves struggle to do, i think she comes off as relaxed and unconcerned with how she is being perceived in a way that is atypical for a wolf), but that read hasn't formed into a concrete townlean because i think most of the stuff that i'm describing is easily fakeable by a good wolf

so idk, i think she "makes sense" as a wolf in many worlds but i just don't feel like she is the most likely to be a wolf out of all the people in my POE, if that makes sense
okay thank u i just wasn't sure where u were on her so this helps a lot

In case anyone asks the reason I stopped self voting is that enough people seem to have gotten there on my alignment that I don't think town needs my flip to move forward any more, and I think a Creature red flip has a good likelihood of solving most of the game on the spot. If he's town then it doesn't matter which of us goes first because the other will get turbo'd the next day anyway.
