I don't know. It would've depended on how they voted.

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
You are still in the Pool of Mystery for me, so I guess I don't have one either. You are one of the high posters, but most of them are one line posts, except when Marmot showed, you had some more in depth interaction with him.
For me, you're a bit enigmatic. We've had very little direct interaction (I don't recall questioning you about Marmot as you said in one post, but I didn't go back to look, this is more of an impressions post than a fact checker post), although I do recall asking you about Seanzie after you said his tunnelling post felt off, it seemed so out of character to you that you asked if he was all right. Yet that is exactly what he went on to do, to randomly tunnel someone. Personally, having been in many civ/civ Battle Royales myself, that is how this feels to me. As a random ship in the night, I'm not easy to sink, though.
You are the only one of the people I don't know (you, Lucy, Seanzie & falcon) who is being openly engaging with people, answering question, providing reads on people others may not be familiar with. Seanzie is also doing this a bit, when he's not actively trying to kill me. This makes me feel positive about you in general.
But your reads list is a short list, which makes it a safe list. You don't have reads on many people yourself, but you seem to think it's wild that Dennis has none on you.
I have no reason to think you're bad, and that's how I play, I look for baddies rather than clear civvies, although I'm trying to get better at that, since apparently it's the thing to do now. But I'm a hunter, not a politician.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@Kate you could also ask me. When I read back over last night, I realized we've not really interacted at all. You've asked everyone else about the Seanzie thing but not me. Unless someone tells me the tunnelling thing is unlike him, I have no reason to think he's bad, if the dog with a bone thing is his norm. I talk alot and it's easy to find something to twist out of shape when a person won't shut up, lol, and I'm aware of that and I expect it. And as a Grade A tunneller myself, I know civs can twist words and meanings as well as baddies. I don't plan on engaging with him any further because two brick walls slamming into each other over and over is no fun for the rest of the thread, not to mention the walls.
But I also have no plans to vote for him, he doesn't look particularly bad to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am keeping my vote on Lucy for now, I see no town reason for actively trying to limit the suspicion pool to three people for reasons unrelated to the thread. That would be like saying, "We should try to be suspicious of SVS, Scotty and Seanzie becasue their names all start with S". It's possible one is bad, but not for those reasons. Again, can't see a town rationale for that.
I'll be following, but will have to try to stay TF out of here today at work lol.

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
I made an assumption. I don't actually know but I'm pretty sure you just like questions. My point was I don't think you're suspicious because of that.Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 12:58 amI appreciate your thoughts!Dennis wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 12:44 am I don't feel too great making a decision without at least hearing from everyone first. It feels like some people have been way too absent to make a good call. For now, I feel good about SVS, Kate, and Marmot. Scotty has been very inquisitive, but that's not necessarily AI; Seanzie and SVS feels more like a misunderstanding IMO. Golden has been back and forth and it's scaring me very far away from them.
Don’t take this the wrong way- I’m just being inquisitive after all- but how do you know what is alignment indicative of me if we’ve never played together before?

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
I learned something new here. I thought "Alignment Indicative" meant in general, like say posting a lot of OT, or asking a lot of questions, *in general* is not AI. I did not realize it is a specific thing for an individual. Like I would say "AI" in general, and "AI for Scotty" if I was comparing it to his specific meta. I've been using it wrong.Dennis wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 8:30 amI made an assumption. I don't actually know but I'm pretty sure you just like questions.

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
Wait now I'm confused. I thought it was general, like if something is AI it's just suspicious behavior, is it not?

I have mixed feels on Scotty. I know he plays a very analytical game, and there’s not much to analyze before the first elimination. So I’m low keying my expectations of him a bit until Day 2.
But he also seems to be on the same thing as Lucy re Dennis, albeit on a lesser scale. That bothers me a bit. Sabiplz said she thinks Scotty’s buddying me. I didn’t get that feeling. We just finished a game where we we both town, and he low key suspected me pretty much the whole game. So I was just thinking that having just watched me closely in that game, he had a better feel for my town game.
But I also know I can be susceptible to that, so her saying it makes me more aware to watch for it.

Those days are gone now, and much like a Uni student who peers at the noon alarm clock thru glazed eyes, so too have I lost the spring in my step.

It's when he doesn't post at Allis when he's scum
Or it's when he posts scathing retorts that he is also scum.
I haven't seen either of those yet.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 8:20 amYou are still in the Pool of Mystery for me, so I guess I don't have one either. You are one of the high posters, but most of them are one line posts, except when Marmot showed, you had some more in depth interaction with him.
For me, you're a bit enigmatic. We've had very little direct interaction (I don't recall questioning you about Marmot as you said in one post, but I didn't go back to look, this is more of an impressions post than a fact checker post), although I do recall asking you about Seanzie after you said his tunnelling post felt off, it seemed so out of character to you that you asked if he was all right. Yet that is exactly what he went on to do, to randomly tunnel someone. Personally, having been in many civ/civ Battle Royales myself, that is how this feels to me. As a random ship in the night, I'm not easy to sink, though.
You are the only one of the people I don't know (you, Lucy, Seanzie & falcon) who is being openly engaging with people, answering question, providing reads on people others may not be familiar with. Seanzie is also doing this a bit, when he's not actively trying to kill me. This makes me feel positive about you in general.
But your reads list is a short list, which makes it a safe list. You don't have reads on many people yourself, but you seem to think it's wild that Dennis has none on you.
I have no reason to think you're bad, and that's how I play, I look for baddies rather than clear civvies, although I'm trying to get better at that, since apparently it's the thing to do now. But I'm a hunter, not a politician.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@Kate you could also ask me. When I read back over last night, I realized we've not really interacted at all. You've asked everyone else about the Seanzie thing but not me. Unless someone tells me the tunnelling thing is unlike him, I have no reason to think he's bad, if the dog with a bone thing is his norm. I talk alot and it's easy to find something to twist out of shape when a person won't shut up, lol, and I'm aware of that and I expect it. And as a Grade A tunneller myself, I know civs can twist words and meanings as well as baddies. I don't plan on engaging with him any further because two brick walls slamming into each other over and over is no fun for the rest of the thread, not to mention the walls.
But I also have no plans to vote for him, he doesn't look particularly bad to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am keeping my vote on Lucy for now, I see no town reason for actively trying to limit the suspicion pool to three people for reasons unrelated to the thread. That would be like saying, "We should try to be suspicious of SVS, Scotty and Seanzie becasue their names all start with S". It's possible one is bad, but not for those reasons. Again, can't see a town rationale for that.
I'll be following, but will have to try to stay TF out of here today at work lol.
I'm gonna go ahead and place a townread on SVS for this post. Transparent thought process coupled with conclusions that I can understand.
I also think it's reasonable that an SVS who tends to hunt for wolves instead of townies who is focusing her scrutiny on players she doesn't know (Sean, lucy, and Sabi here), might be fairly townie, as she's focusing on players she doesn't have any prior comfort in playing with. Although as soon as I said this, I recalled my own recent game as a wolf where I pushed Sabi solely because they were one of the only players I didn't have meta on (and I think it was their first or second game on TS at the time).
I don't think that's what's happening with SVS here though, because she appears to be factoring meta descriptions from other people into her reads.
Response to the highlighted section. I know a lot of people nowadays hunt for townreads and then develop a POE with which to find wolves in. I don't think this is the only way, nor does it necessarily work for everyone. You doing you is probably the best you can do (unless of course you doing you has proven to be ineffective, but I don't think that's true for you in the slightest).

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
i want to post my thoughts so far, while I have a minute. They are definitely not deep thoughts, but how deep can they be on day 1?
New players get a pass, until later in the game. Absent players, as well.
if I don't mention you, its because I have you as town for now.
Falcon45ca- I didn't find it suspicious that you chose someone quickly because with movable votes, it seems like a lot of players throw votes around in a slap-happy fashion. then you were questioned about it, and you promptly posted quotes for why you made your vote. This looked legit to me at the time. Later it occurred to me that maybe you did all that too quickly, Pre-planned? But someone, Sabiplz, I think, said this was normal for your town game.
Soneji posted, I think, but I'll need to go back and look to make sure. ???
Lucy- so far, is reminding me of Dr. Wilgy. Too random to read, and weird posting just annoys me because I don't know what to do with it. I'd like to hear from players who are familiar with them.
Seanzie made a very risky statement for a town player to make. Or just an 'I can't be bothered' statement. Since it was preceded by an 'Ugh', I'm going with the former.
Sabiplz drew attention to his post, then backed away from it, then said she rarely voted early or often, then 17 minutes later she voted for Seanzie. None of this feels right.
Golden got a vote from Falcon, and although Falcon's reasons would not be enough to convince me to vote someone, I thought they were ok for a day 1. However after post 486 ( I think, I'll go back and check later and do an ebwop if necessary), I have Golden as town.
Marmot, no clue. I'd like to hear what other players think of him. ???
Everyone else, I have as probably town. I have no absolutes this early, but I'm watching the players above who pinged me. I'd like to hear what other players think of my not so deep thoughts, please.

I think Marmot has been a decent player thus far this game. He was MIA for the early part of Day 1, but I don't think that's AI for him. When he did show up, he's posted an assortment of fluff, but he's at least mixed some well-thought reads into those posts. His tone is pretty stellar. Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and call him locktown for now, but if he's still alive and hasn't killed a wolf by Day 4, I'll definitely reconsider.

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
Here's that rainbow list that no one asked for. Players are listed alphabetically in tiers.
Town
S~V~S
Dennis
Light Town
falcon45ca
Kate
Sabiplz
Scotty
Null or No Content
bea
DrWilgy
fingersplints
jack shepherd
lucy
Roxy
Seanzie
Soneji
Mafia Lean
Golden
Matahari
And to include a recap on players I haven't talked about yet that I have now sorted into tiers:
falcon45ca: I also don't really trust Golden, albeit might be for different reasons. His vibes don't strike me as hitting the notes of his scum game.
Scotty: Has been active and prodding, and also mostly harmless. I think of the townleans I have, his is the least strongest, but GTH, I do think he's town, and I have seen enough content from him to slot him here for now.
Matahari: Some of her thoughts that she posted in #529 lack direction. That is fine. But I get the feeling that she is pushing herself to talk about players when she doesn't have anything specific to say about them. Soneji in particular.

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
Thank you for the rainbow list. You're absolutely correct that some of my list lacks direction. As I said, I was posting my thoughts as the game progressed, On day 1, its hard for me to draw hard conclusions. The people I listed are people I was pinged by, which is an ancient mafia term for watch-worthy/mildly suspicious.Marmot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 12:03 pm Here's that rainbow list that no one asked for.

From the linki- I listed Soneji because I wanted my list to cover everyone in the game. I just couldn't remember what, if anything, they had posted. I have time to go searching for their posts, now, but he was a mystery to me in my list.

I don't think D1 has been that weird or that quiet and I think someone who thinks it's been quiet is likely not reading the game critically like a townie who is hunting would be doing.

Re: Lawyers, Guns and Money- [DAY 1]
There are nearly 550 posts, that’s a pretty chatty day one. For me posts are a better metric than votes for gauging activity.
BTW I realized when searching for something that I had misused your pronouns. Sorry about that, it won’t happen again.
@Marmot thank you. I’m generally pretty good at “I gotta be me!!”, but it’s always worth trying to see if something else works better.
Like Sabi, I’m also breaking my mafia/work rule, lol, bbl
Splints, Jack, Soneji, Bea, where you all at?
