Although upon a second read I do agree that 'spreading the love' is an odd attitude. It seems like an easy way to get a vote down and spread the votes into something anti-town more than spreading it into something pro-town if you catch my drift.

I don’t catch your drift. Why is it anti-town to have my vote on someone who I think is suspicious? what of that idea is anti-town

Yes at the very, very end - the last day in fact after having read you as town in the couple of days preceding that, and not knowing how to read you preceding that. There was a post at the last minute, I can't remember by who, that made me second guess myself. My vote lost the game for town. I just sucked at reading you in that came, and won't make an assessment early in this one.

Um speedchuck? Do you not recall in the GOC which we just played that I at all times gave my status on when I would be around? Like everytime I left the thread, in the mornings when I was going to work, when I needed to quit playing for the night, all the time? Maybe you want to take a look back at that. Someone tried to call me bad in that game for that too but I was town.

Also, I have never been a Day 1 player. It always takes me a while to form reads. I do not apologize for it.

I don't know why DDL made that vote. Are you saying I shouldn't be asking that?

I don't care what people think about how I look, I play the game the way I play it.

Those are all the usual reasons juliets gets suspected when she's town. I'm not worried.

I just go with my gut. I'm not memeing.

112 v MR v Tony was a fun juicy read. Don't really have stances on any of them yet but will be good to have that chunk of content to refer to later.

That’s a pretty awful gut read then tbh

I would like to see more from DDL.

I was hoping it would be a meme or a trap, but if it’s serious then, like...idk dude, that’s just how Jules plays.

Yeah this concerns me about speed a bit tbh. I often incorrectly suspect him so I want to be careful about this, but it doesn't seem like him to state such a strong suspicion with quotes and everything this early in the game.

(last game I played with him he was scum and siirc didn't really do anything like that / didn't "tryhard", but that means little, he's clearly going for a different style this game regardless of alignment and could be hiding behind that)

Someone shut me up lol

I don’t really feel like I know his game as either alignment tbh but I do really dislike his Jules push. It’s just...bad. Pushing people for how they normally play is one of my pet peeves though so idk.

Yeah preach it brotha. And he's played a lot of games with her and has seen her get called out for the same stuff so he should know better.

Six posts saying 'dis bad.' That's quite the echo chamber you two are in. Hope you're staying six feet apart.

What's the difference between "clearly going for a different style" and "has a different style based on his alignment"?

There's a 112 vs MR thing on page 2. I like 112's side of the exchange. MR's side is weird. He's dismissive of 112's suspicion without being confrontational. It feels manipulative, but I'm undecided on whether it's scummy or not. After all, town doesn't want to be suspected either.

Relevant posts: The first post is particularly off-putting. There's no defense there, just a 'I knew you would say that' to take the wind out of 112's sails, so to speak.

Well he's doing a roleplaying thingy.

But also I'm sort of suggesting that even if he is the same alignment he could be deliberately trying to change it up so he doesn't get caught. That's assuming a broader philosophy of the extent to which players can control their meta, I guess.

Also: I usually give you a fair shake and am careful before calling you out, no? In fact, I probably see you as being town at the beginning more than maf. Why would you be waiting on my call-out unless you realize that you're not playing your usual civ game?

On CDC, sure. But you did the same thing in Inception. I may have been 3P but was very much not mafia and was, in fact, townsiding hard early on.

So I was right in Inception and you're using that to say I don't read you well?

I'll let you get your game on and won't keep you tied down in discourse with me, but I have my on you.

As long as you don't have your unwashed hands on me.


(Arguing differences in reading 3P vs a wolf team is an unproductive argument that we can have after the game.)

The first post is particularly off-putting. There's no defense there, just a 'I knew you would say that' to take the wind out of 112's sails, so to speak.

This is a decent take. Your interpretation of the first quoted MR post is somewhat different from 112's reaction which was that he was caught in knowing that he would look bad [to a player who knows him well]. Either way it's awkward.

My one concern about nute is how she goes back and forth between M-Plus being wolf; is it genuine, or is she mimicking townthought through her back-and-forth on him? I'm inclined to say she's town, but it's good to get something down here.

I'm torn as well, and she fooled me in Day 1 of my return game, but I'm okay with her being town for now as well.
