Yeah, I'm comfortable calling Leetic mafia.
How are those contradictory statements? I rescinded the claim but an actual cop would have every right to be pissed off by this.
Another person claiming cop would make a hypothetical real cop outside you/Abi more likely to claim.
The point was never to hold onto it for long. Ideally, Abigail would have rescinded, then I would immediately rescind afterwards, and nobody would have to be outed

You kids are so hilarious.
This also makes zero sense and feels like scrambling what townie would do this?
What makes zero sense about this? I've been through a similar situation before that ended up being disastrous for town and wanted to limit the damage in this game but it seems that PA is insistent on this terrible lynch
Like the terrible elim you led yesterday without listening to any other player trying to point out that you could be wrong?

It was hardly "terrible", it was the best choice we could have made based on the evidence. LP's last post was a huge blunder for town and they could have easily saved themselves by claiming but didn't for some reason. The only thing that makes it super unfortunate is that they turned out to be a PR, but otherwise eliminating an inactive town is miles better than eliminating an active one. I'd like to point out that Dizzy, whose slot's testimony you depend on to SR me, was also on the wagon

No, I am using an analagous situation to try to understand Abigail's behavior. I even concluded that that's probably not what happens, since Abigail has little reason to as confidently wolfread me as Mikey did with DBP. Are you even paying attention to my posts, since it seems like every single one of your responses to my posts is a massive strawman taking the single most bad-faith interpretation

Good timing :o
It's mainly introductions, I wanted to be around for most people getting here so I could get stuck into things but since things are quiet I'm struggling a little & I didnt really want to miss this and have all of my reads being from backreading off the word go.

I dont think there's much to his intro? Aside from slank cover. I've never played w him before so I dont fully know what to expect, which is why I gave my few little questions to try ease into things :D
Would you say he's GTH town or scum?
I honestly dont know ;_; I liked the beans reference because haha beans game, not sure about the 'woah why so pushy' thing but I dont think I could give a GTH read either way because there's so little there right now & I dont think it's impossible to say that it could come from either alignment

Will swing your question back on you though because I'm assuming off of Scotty's reaction that you've played w/ each other before, should I take his introduction as AI?
The whole point of a GTH is that it doesn't have to be based on anything, "I don't know" is not an acceptable answer

Last time I played with him is years ago. However, regardless of player you can always tell something from introduction posts. I know my introduction would be different had I randed a different alignment
This reeks of hyper self awareness and I don’t think you really mean that

This reeks of hyper self awareness and I don’t think you really mean that
yeah hey that's my lane

Do you tend to hyperpost or not too often?
Do you have experience playing with anyone else here?

Maybe silly to pose these for a casual game but helps me keep up so :D I'd appreciate people answering them

Preferred alignment? - I'm a side sleeper
Do you tend to hyperpost or not too often? - if I get going
Do you have experience playing with anyone else here? - yessirreebob
:sigh:

Fluff.

Nothing but fluff, light shading, and a noncommittal read on Epignosis. @LinearPoint is this really one of your bigger townreads?
Good look for pyxxy imo. leetic was trying to take away LP's townread on him.
Aren't you counting your chickens before they hatch? None of this will be useful when I flip town
Today I have 1 goose, at the end of the phase I'll have 0 geese.

Delta Seanzie Thunal GTH town

Scotty Jack LP GTH scum

Still don't like Dyslexicon's self-vote, and even if it is RVS they dipped immediately so why?

I'll post in more detail when I'm on my laptop
I think at least one of Delta/Jack is scum from this assuming leetic is scum. I don't think leetic named 7 villagers.
What do you make of my interactions with leetic vs Jack's?

You threw this out which is fine & kinda aligns with my thoughts from d1 but I'm more curious about how you read us outside of this statement
I think Jack is scummier than you for reasons I talked about earlier in the day. Your interactions feel like a mixed bag so far, I'm a little paranoid leetic picked on you first but explaining what GTH is to you I think looks good.
Ah, I mightve missed that post D: I'll go back and find it now, thank you \o/

As I said earlier, if Abigail is town (which I think is most likely, there is no reason for scum to make this gambit here) then wolves usually allow town to eat themselves. That would match up with pyxxy's behavior… and yours.

My perspective is perhaps biased because I played in a game where someone did exactlly that. https://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vb ... p?t=151853 See Mikey (flashflaash account) on D2 (would be considered D3 in this site's parlance)
Does anyone ever actuality follow these links and read them? I don't bc its useless to base reads on meta bc meta changes game to game. And if you say not me then I would ask - so you still play like your first game? Unsure of everything?
Are you even paying attention? This is not a "meta read", it's me trying to understand what Abigail could possibly gain from a fakeclaim
You are using another players game on another site to describe a different player here if this is the right way to play I'm always going to play wrong.
No, I am using an analagous situation to try to understand Abigail's behavior. I even concluded that that's probably not what happens, since Abigail has little reason to as confidently wolfread me as Mikey did with DBP. Are you even paying attention to my posts, since it seems like every single one of your responses to my posts is a massive strawman taking the single most bad-faith interpretation
I'm fine responding to you.

Offc I'm reading sorry you do not like what I'm saying.

Another person claiming cop would make a hypothetical real cop outside you/Abi more likely to claim.
The point was never to hold onto it for long. Ideally, Abigail would have rescinded, then I would immediately rescind afterwards, and nobody would have to be outed
lololololololololololololololol

You kids are so hilarious.
This also makes zero sense and feels like scrambling what townie would do this?
What makes zero sense about this? I've been through a similar situation before that ended up being disastrous for town and wanted to limit the damage in this game but it seems that PA is insistent on this terrible lynch
Like the terrible elim you led yesterday without listening to any other player trying to point out that you could be wrong?
It was hardly "terrible", it was the best choice we could have made based on the evidence. LP's last post was a huge blunder for town and they could have easily saved themselves by claiming but didn't for some reason. The only thing that makes it super unfortunate is that they turned out to be a PR, but otherwise eliminating an inactive town is miles better than eliminating an active one. I'd like to point out that Dizzy, whose slot's testimony you depend on to SR me, was also on the wagon
l depend on no one else's read but my own. Why do I need someone else to tell me who to sus when I'm perfectly capable to do it myself?

The super unfortunate thing that happened yesterday was too many people followed you.
No, the unfortunate thing was that LP didn't claim when doing so would have saved them. That wasn't my fault

Why are people constantly defending anti-town plays here?

I wouldn't say it's guaranteed, but I lean on my wagon being pure right now. Of course, there are people who haven't really shown up since said incident like Jack and Wilgy that it could also be. And I think you misunderstand, scum doesn't really have to approach this situation at all to get what they want

How are you feeling about those you mentioned at EOD1?
A lot better about Epi than I did at EoD1, I did some meta comparison and I think his approach to me/Dizzy is fundamentally different from him going after hard targets as scum in the game we wolfed together. Below null on Wilgy since despite not having any reads he made the snap read that a leetic post was scummy. I thought it was fine in a vacuum, but if leetic is scum I'm concerned about it. I still sus Nanook for similar reasons of his posts seeming more concerned with how the thread sees him, and I sus Jack for similar reasons.

I am a little shaky on you after EOD, which is why I've pressed on you a little about it & prior to the redcheck I had said I was slightly worried about potentially being pocketed by leetic which is why I opened as I did. Still a few ?s when it comes to Nanook/Jack, but less so since Abi's talked about Nanook feeling as he usually does & I'm curious about the pyxxy EOD votes from Jack & LC

Outside of that, I do feel like I have more solidified townreads than I do actual scumreads, which feels like a weird reversal of my game since I tend to try find scum first? But I think Roxy/SVS are both solidly town irrespective of what leetic flips. Abi is almost always town regardless & I agree on Epi being likely town based on my own understanding of how he plays wolf, even if it was only 1 game :wowee:

Long Con's reaction to Abi's claim is odd & their later posts treating you as if you're boxed in feels especially weird, I think regardless of what you flip.

I don't think any look clearly bad, but I think Epi and SVS's both look good regardless of your flip and perhaps even better if you flip town. Both had pretty transparent thought processes before coming to confident conclusions that you're mafia. If you're town I'd expect maf to be more likely to hedge on you.
