Just small town feels. Not enough to join my town inner circle (super exclusive by the by) but definitely enough for a slight town lean.

I'm town, so this is a good read

That way it's betting on making no more than 3 mistakes in the upper half of the player list (which seems fair) compared to betting the entire game on a specific player being town (which I think is easier to fake because of a lack of TMI).

Not sure if this is the better mech play.

I disagre. One of our win conditions is to send three traitors to Exile over the course of the game, and with the limited knowledge that traitors have of each other, yeeting based on interactions will be difficult.

Marmot wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 12:12 pm We have a heavy reliance on the cop this game I think (thankfully there's a backup, on the off chance that there's a cc), which means that them claiming might not be in our best interest yet, because it'll give the Anti-Cop more info into who they should frame.

That said, claiming early would prevent cc wars from going down.

MissSparkles wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 1:04 pm But anybody with experience with Cat as a player and their meta/strategy can gladly weigh in, i’m all bog cute cartoon eyes over here!

I've only played with cat once, we were teammates in GoC, and he was yeeted Day 1. That said, his entrance into that game had a little more assurance in it then this one, so though I dislike the post, I'm willing to let him say more things here in the event that he just feigns more confidence as mafia.

That’s what scum would say, lmao.

But yea i’d feel you wouldn’t follow me here if you were Traitor, the game we played as town you were one of the few to correctly town read (still ended up yeeted but what can u do)) so I know you’d consider my opinion as town. Since you have the hone field advantage here, you’d definitely be able to pain me in a negative light, and you know i’m not easily pocketed so following me here looks good from you.

This post is unnecessary as town though, and feels like a slight buddy/pocket attempt. Cause agreeing with any read of mine will make me think i’m doing good and thus could win my favour.

But the other towny points don’t outweigh this scummy post but still no INNER TOWN CIRCLE VIP PASS 4 U

I may have homefield advantage here, but I've only played with half of this player list (we got a huge influx of new players in the last couple months).

I do remember that game, but the problem was that I chose to actually read your ISO like 30 minutes before EOD when you were probably gonna be yeeted anyway and it didn't matter.

Marmot wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 2:05 pm I do have a couple more thoughts on the strategy this game, but I'm going to withhold them until everyone has checked in.


I do have a question for everyone though. I've reconsidered my original stance on the cop claiming, and I've seen a couple players advocating for it. Should we encourage the town cop to claim or not? At this moment, I'm leaning toward yes.

I enjoy pocketing as town too tbh.

Marmot wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 2:11 pm It's been long enough since I've played with you Sparkles, that I honestly don't really remember your playstyle, I've played a lot of games in the last 5 months, and you were only alive for that one day phase in that game. I know we've played video mafia together too, but I can't seem to recall a distinction in your meta.

That said, I'm reading you as town so far for strongly engaging in the game, and with a number of players in the game. Making reads and attempting to engage other people on those reads while we're still sorta in RVS is rand town imo.

The cop has already claimed, how did u miss it?

He confirmed to me it was a valid claim and he was forced too by the mod! It’s all on page 1, go look!!

I just assumed it was Mac providing cover for being so open at the start of the game with it. Why is it a confirmed, valid claim?

Broadly agree with that one post from Cat being wolfy but not as strongly.

Leaning town on Marmot but I don't really have anything I can add on this (also not sure if you remember me from the hydra game we played together relatively recently?).

I'm a bit of a hypocrite but I agree that I think it'll be better to cool off focusing the mech / exile stuff until Night (since we have 24 hours to discuss it then anyway).

Would somebody please be able to tell me how to ISO here? And is there any specific way to vote or is it just announcing your vote + using the poll? Thanks!

Well sure, but you’re probably not the greatest in the early game and generally better with them as the game goes on, but for me personally my best reads come on day 1.
