Sure, but the vote by itself ain’t a whole lot of pressure Gengar.

Uh yeah I'm at work what else am I gonna do with no ISO links

Vote pressure won't really work atp, but there's a guilty pressure on any traitor (except anti-daycop maybe) so we should prob force them to post their reads.

What happened to it not really mattering if a traitor got exiled yesterday? If you truly believe that then I'm not shre why you also believe a traitor would effectively out themself to accomplish something you thought was worthless?

But anyway, Wisdom is definitely the sort of player to self vote like that as town (and probably only as town tbh given as they're surely aware of the attention it woykd being to them).

Self voting in exile is literally always pro wincon for both alignments so I don't really care if anyone does it

Well I guess not always but whatever I think NAI

One could expect that Creature should be aware of this after playing with me far more than you have, but on the other hand I'm not that confident in meta reading him either.

It's still kinda iffy to go selfvoting and seems like more of a traitor thing than a town thing for the reasons I already said. An exile pretty much saves the traitor from being lynched the next day and opens space for more traitor selfvoting in exile.

Yes, but town can afford planning an exile in-thread instead of everyone just selfvoting. Hence why it's suspicious.

Creature wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 3:06 pm We still shouldn't selfvote in exile phase especially if we have the upper numbers here. We can collectively decide on an exile and vote accordingly instead of each one selfvoting. Only traitors have the incentive to selfvote here.

3 people wanted 112
2 people wanted me

In this situation the most pro town thing I could do was to make a 50% chance that a 100% town would be exiled. I still regret nothing.

Look at the numbers. You can't say that 3 out of 14 people makes 112 "consensus exile" while 2 people are also voting me.

You might not agree with it as a strategy but like other people have said, it's pro-wincon as a strategy and probably just personality-indicative (or possibly even towny but giving it too much credit probably isn't a good precedent).

Creature wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 3:08 pm I think I can see Poison and Aiwt as traitors here mostly because they were both underwhelming this game and none of their posts struck as particularly town solving.

I think this is a good point.

If you’re dependent on ISOs to apply pressure then idk what to tell u.

Also click replies and the number next to the username and u should be ISO’ing.

I might be the first one to say Creature is probably town. He's firmly tunneled and our interactions aren't weird despite us disagreeing.

I can agree re: Poison.

The only they’ve done is mildly suspect your girl with no follow through, very on the fence, not sure if that’s just them but yea seems like a wolf unsure of another player maybe being a wolf then towny uncertainty.

Whatever, I don't plan to argue about it for too long. Still think we need to be more careful next exile phase because just like Wisdom could have gone for the 50% rand of going 100% town on her eyes, there's also the chance a traitor can go for the 50% rand of going to 100% traitor.

It’s called interacting with them, apparently because you’re on mobile that’s not a possibility for you, when in reality it’s much easier then ISO’ing peeps.

Last exile phase was a bit of a failure in planning tbh.

The thing we can do rn is keep trying to find town and narrow down the traitor options.

I agree especially since we’re allowing it. We need a 100% concensus next exile phase.

I mean 75% and up would be more accurate but you know what I mean.

Yeah I'm not talking to you anymore

You literally put a nothing vote down and called it pressure.

Then complained you couldn’t apply pressure because you can’t ISO then, just like maybe interact and apply pressure on someone who’s actually here instead and interact with whoever you’re garbage vote is currently on, instead of just calling you’re nothing vote pressure and complaining.

I mean you’re vote is just useless and calling it pressure when it’s anything but looks like an admission of guilt for someone who’s sole purpose is to look good and not actually catch any traitors

Okay then

The I hope i’m the red check post feels like admission of guilt too.

Anyways, i’m gonna check Poison’s posts and see what I find.

I doubt we can get the wolfy players to post, but we can try to read each other who is currently active.

Even sheeping sometimes requires knowing who exactly you are sheeping.

This is what Mac listens to as he pulls the town's strings

falcon45ca wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 3:57 pm This is what Mac listens to as he pulls the town's strings

I think the thing to remember here is that even if Mac is a lost wolf he doesn't actually know who his teammates are.

So if he's powerwolfing then he has to be actively making reads he knows are incorrect (or at least, ensuring a decent enough number of his team are skipped over).

Obviously you disagree with his read on you but how do you feel about the other players Mac is pushing? I think they're wolfy (Poison in particular). Do you think that there are any players who Mac is defending who are likely to be traitors? If so, who and why?

He has to do no such thing. All he needs to do is play the game with Mac's fervor, and if his reads are wrong (he's already lynched a townie), then how is he to blame given how little info the town has to go on? He's making his reads without TMI, this game setup is a huge benefit as Lost Wolf for a player of Mac's ability.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 3:47 pm Falcon or Poison.

So the two players suspecting u (ithink?). I’d have to double check Poison’s posts though

I don’t see Falcon scum reading Mac as traitor tbh.

Falcon Punch!

If Mac is usually good at reading people especially.

I’m even gonna call Falcon town for it because based on what i’ve seen I don’t think he’d oppose Mac so much as he’s done in this game if he was a TRAITOR

Ok but... I don't think any player can just win this solo even before we factor in cop checks, especially not one with a reputation like Mac.

Why is he powerwolfing here and not just powertowning? What is he getting out of this? What direction is Mac pushing the thread in currently that you disagree with besides scumreading you, obviously?

All you're telling me so far is that Mac is being loud and pushing his reads but I don't get the conclusion of that being wolfy.

Well for starters his towncore used to include both myself & Poison. He's flipped those reads, and I can say his read on me changed with no real thought fleshed out ITT, he said it was all the Page 6 Epiphany.


He outright lied about not knowing I was in the game. His read on Kaz also flipped with no real rhyme or reason, just more Page 6 which he has not explained at all, at least not that I've seen.

Had 112 previously as top town, but lists them in the mid range, and then pushes KG who has a whopping 13 posts cuz they're here for the memes? Go thru KG's ISO, see if that's the tone you get. Voted Cat, tho he says there's no reason to do so, kinda here by default as he put it.



Sorry, what has he done that's towny? Said we should keep a thread state that doesn't tolerate BS? Earth shattering revelation right there
